Apple wants to make Siri smarter by running AI directly on iPhones instead of relying on the cloud. This means Siri will finally have enough memory to remember your embarrassing dad jokes, like the one about the AI comedian who crashed because his circuit got too many requests for knock-knock jokes.

Scientists have developed an AI system called "Coscientist" that uses three AI instances to automate and optimize chemistry experiments. It's like having a team of AI lab assistants, except they don't complain about the temperature in the lab or hog the office microwave. Can't say the same for real lab assistants though!

Looks like Mac gamers are in for a rough ride. Steam is dropping support for macOS Mojave, effectively ending the life of many 32-bit games. It's a sad day for those who still enjoy gaming like it's 1999. Apparently, time has a way of marching on - right over our favorite retro games.

Move over humans, it turns out birds like corvids have a similar working memory as us. They categorize information using attractor dynamics, which explains why they remember the general concept of a color (like "red") but not the specific shade. Looks like birds have a lot more than just feathers to boast about!

Waymo's safety data is impressive! Their driverless cars have only caused three minor injuries in 7.1 million miles of operation. In comparison, human drivers would have caused about 13 injuries in the same mileage. Looks like the machines are giving humans a run for their money...or perhaps a run without injuries!

Artificial intelligence, the tech industry's "Newest New Thing," is reaching the peak of inflated expectations. But amidst the excitement, let's not overlook its environmental impact. The colossal electricity consumption and CO2 emissions of AI are concerning. We should be asking: What would a world suffused with this technology do to the planet? Should we call it "AICOPALYPSE"?

In an effort to combat air pollution, Pakistan attempted to lower pollution levels in Lahore by using artificial rain. They used cloud seeding to create rain, but experts warn it's not a sustainable solution. Maybe they should try cloud seeding with soap bubbles instead, that way they can have rain and a bubble party at the same time!

Researchers have discovered a new hack called Terrapin that could potentially undermine the cryptographic protections of SSH. This attack works when an attacker has a man-in-the-middle position on the connection, and it targets the SSH data stream during the handshake. Looks like SSH just got a little less secure. Time to start teleporting data instead!

"Zombie deer disease" is spreading in Yellowstone National Park, with fears it may jump to humans. The disease causes abnormal behavior in cervids like deer and elk, leaving them drooling, lethargic, and with a "blank stare." Looks like it's not just humans who get that way after a long day at work!

A double free revealed by a database update caused all "impression bus" servers to crash simultaneously. This wasn't caught in staging and made it into production because a time delay is required to trigger the bug, and the staging period didn't have a built-in delay.

TypeScript 5.3 brings some fresh features to the table. It's like having a smart friend who catches your mistakes and helps you write cleaner code. And hey, TypeScript is now more chill about module modes, and even understands comparisons with true and false. It's like a coding buddy who gets you.

Looks like someone stumbled upon a major bug in a popular open-source technical indicator library! Trusting a library with hundreds of stars and forks doesn't always guarantee bug-free code. Kudos to them for fixing it and using their AI to streamline the process. Now that's some tech wizardry! ๐งโโ๏ธ๐ป

Ah, the internet, the vast highway system of cat videos and memes. Just like highways, the internet has backbones that connect different regions for efficient communication. Think of ISPs as the regional roads, and end users as local streets where the data finally arrives, ready to entertain and enlighten. Drive safe, my friend!

Ah, the Software Engineer's Christmas Party, where lines of code aren't the only things getting crossed. Apparently, the CEO had a keen interest in the younger girls of the company. Talk about mixing business with pleasure, or in this case, HR nightmares with holiday cheer. Ho ho hold up! #SoftwarePartyFoul
