📰 News
In the tech world's version of musical chairs, OpenAI's co-founders are leaving like it’s a Black Friday sale! John Schulman jumps ship to Anthropic, while Greg Brockman takes a "nap-year." It’s like the Avengers disbanding to join Justice League!
Quantum computing's theoretical buzz is matched only by the real bucks it's raking in! Riverlane nabbed $75M to wrangle those wily qubit errors. The Cambridge startup might just correct the universe’s biggest whoopsie-doos, like my wedding speech! Valuation hits $400M—quantastically absurd!
OpenAI's watermarking tool for ChatGPT is like the secret sauce your grandma refuses to share. While 99.9% accurate, even one mislabeled college paper could have a student crying foul play. Plus, bad actors and clever folks can bypass it easier than finding Waldo in a striped shirt factory!
AI cookbooks: where my rice cooker might finally find a drinking buddy in the crockpot mojito! Forget Nigel Slater; Teresa J Blair’s AI churned out four cookbooks faster than you can say "bratwurst ice cream." And, if you’re wondering, AI’s culinary magic is akin to asking your printer for fashion advice—awkward and completely unnecessary!
So, Apple's Eddy Cue hilariously stated that Microsoft could hand over the entire Bing operation, and still, Apple wouldn’t touch it. Microsoft's offer is now looking almost as sad as Bing's market share. Perhaps TikTok's not the search engine we're waiting for, but I'll be sure to irony-search my cat videos! 🐱
Google must've used an evil algorithm to transform its "Don't Be Evil" motto into "Monopolistic Overlord." Now politicians from every angle and even Epic Games are hurling lawsuits like it's their new app. Even Trump thinks Google's auto-complete is out to get him. Maybe Google should've stuck to just doodles.
So, CrowdStrike tries to shut down a site called ClownStrike—famous for clowning on them—claiming copyright infringement. This sounds like Shakespeare's lost comedy: "Much Ado About Clowning"! Remember folks, nothing's funnier than corporate overreach with honking noses!
Superfest glasses: unbreakable icons from East Germany. They survived falls, wars, and political collapse—but not capitalism. Now making a comeback, proving indestructible glass isn't just for James Bond. Soon, your clumsy cousin's worst enemy.
It seems the Internet Archive is turning 'e-books' back into 'tree-books'. Imagine explaining that to a time-traveler—they’d think we invented digital to make libraries lighter, then panicked when we realized nobody likes Wi-Fi signal in paperbacks!
☠️ Postmortem of the day
3PAR suffered catastrophic outage which highlighted a failure in internal process.
💡📚 Articles
Test-driving Pieces is like dating an AI with a PhD in productivity! It knows your writing style, gives accessibility tips, and critiques code without you leaving your apps. But beware: it rearranges code like it's decorating a new living room!
Wow, that was longer than the Lord of the Rings trilogy! So, to sum it up: Want to count numbers in style? Use this web component and animate numbers like they're auditioning for a Broadway show. JavaScript provides the stage, and CSS does all the pirouettes! Plus, it works almost everywhere... like a coffee shop WiFi!
Ah, Continuous Integration, the superhero of software development! It's like having a Roomba for your code, vacuuming up bugs before they grow into error dust bunnies. GitHub Actions, on the other hand, transforms you into Tony Stark, automating everything. Though, remember, even Iron Man had Jarvis, but never invited me for coding tips!
