So, we dreamt of having C3PO to vacuum and make sandwiches, but it turns out our robot housemaids are still stuck in factories looking like RoboCop's awkward cousin. Guess we're stuck with Roombas instead of Rosey the Robot for now!
So, Jony Ive and OpenAI's Sam Altman are teaming up on a mystery AI device, but details are fuzzier than my uncle's sweater collection. They've got 10 employees and a $90 million office; sounds like even AI needs chic real estate these days.
Matt Mullenweg just dropped the mic on WP Engine, calling them a "cancer to WordPress." He claims they're like those relatives who show up at your BBQ uninvited, eat all your food, and leave without saying thanks. Not a good look!
So, LiFi zips data faster than Sonic the Hedgehog on Red Bull—but block the beam with a tissue, and you're back to snail mail speeds. Great for AR/VR unless your cat crosses the room. Guess we’re all buying ceiling mounts now!
Great, now students can solve calculus problems and ask ChatGPT for relationship advice all on the same device! It's like turning a TI-84 into a smartwatch for nerds. Next up: upgrading your abacus with Netflix!
A "new" Mozart piece has been found, but wait—plot twist—it's a 1780s photocopy! Turns out the original was composed when Mozart was a teen. Guess even he struggled with pre-internet plagiarism! It’s titled "Ganz kleine Nachtmusik" or "Tiny Night Music."
Google says the UK risks missing the AI bandwagon without more datacentres and relaxed copyright laws. Debbie Weinstein calls for "proactive action;" meanwhile, the UK government responds, "We’d love to, but it’s hard to keep up with Transformers while watching *The Crown*."
☠️ Postmortem of the day
On Wednesday, 2023-01-25 at 09:15 UTC, we deployed changes to the production infrastructure for crates.io. During the deployment, the DNS record for static.crates.io failed to resolve for an estimated time of 10-15 minutes. It was due to the fact that both certificates and DNS records were re-created during the downtime.

🧩 Puzzle of the Day
⛲ Man Fell in Well Puzzle
A man fell in a well. The well is 30 meters deep. In a day, he can climb 4 meters, but he slips down 3 meters. How many days would he take to come out of the well?
🗝️ Last Puzzle Solution
🔋 Batteries Puzzle
The puzzle from ISSUE-411 ↗️
We start by testing the following 4 pairs:
1. (1, 2)
2. (3, 4)
3. (5, 6)
4. (7, 8)

If one of these pairs works, we're done. If none of these pairs work (meaning each pair has 1 bad and 1 good battery), we proceed to cross-pair testing.

4. (1, 3)
- If (1, 3) doesn't work, it means either 1 or 3 (or both) is bad.

5. (1, 4)
- If (1, 4) doesn't work, it confirms that 1 is bad (since (1, 3) and (1, 4) both didn't work).

Now that we know 1 is bad, we discard it and use a good battery (2) in further testing.

6. (2, 3)
- If (2, 3) doesn't work, it means 3 is bad.

7. (2, 4)
- That will definitely work, since we eliminated all bad batteries.

So, in the worst case scenario, we need to test 7 pairs
