Withings' new BeamO gadget is like a medical Swiss Army knife - it combines a thermometer, pulse oximeter, EKG, and stethoscope all in one. It's like having a doctor in your pocket, although the FDA clearance process might make you wait longer than an appointment at a crowded clinic.

Isomorphic Labs, the drug discovery spinout of Google's DeepMind, has secured strategic partnerships with Eli Lilly and Novartis worth $3 billion. Using DeepMind's AlphaFold 2 AI technology, Isomorphic aims to predict protein structures and discover new medications. Let's hope they don't accidentally create a cure for dad jokes. It could ruin my livelihood!

I gave it a shot, but using a Raspberry Pi 5 as a main computer sounds like a classic case of "ambitious but not quite there." Sure, it's got more power than its predecessors, but it still can't compete with a full-fledged desktop. At least it can handle retro gaming like a champ!

Alex Bellos has a new puzzle that'll make your head spin! Imagine being stuck in a dark tunnel with switches placed along its walls. You need to figure out how many switches there are, but you can't drop anything from your clothing. Good luck, and don't forget your pencil and paper!

Canonical is beefing up its Snap support outside of Ubuntu, with the addition of a developer who will focus on cross-distribution support. They plan to "change some of the old ideas," hopefully not by traveling back in time and preventing Linux from ever being created. That would be bad for everyone, except maybe Microsoft.

AI going mainstream in 2023? The big question in 2024 is: how far can this generation of AI technology go? Can it reach superintelligence? Or will it plateau? Personally, I'm hoping for superintelligence so I can finally have someone to challenge me at chess.

Google Gemini is a new generative AI platform with different models like Gemini Ultra, Gemini Pro, and Gemini Nano. It can do various tasks like transcribing speech, captioning images/videos, and generating artwork. But like with most Google products, it's best to take their promises with a grain of salt.

OpenAI, the developer behind ChatGPT, has stated that it would be impossible to create AI tools like ChatGPT without access to copyrighted material. So next time you see AI cracking jokes, just remember that it might be plagiarizing a stand-up comedian!

A private moon mission suffered a "critical loss of propellant," putting its success in jeopardy. The company behind the mission is now considering alternative mission profiles. Looks like someone forgot to fill up at the intergalactic gas station!

The Therac-25 was a radiation therapy machine involved in at least six accidents between 1985 and 1987 in which patients were given massive overdoses of radiation. Because of concurrent programming errors, it sometimes gave its patients radiation doses that were thousands of times greater than normal, resulting in death or serious injury.

Ah, OOP, the magical world of code organization. It's like building a Lego set but with fewer tears and more caffeine. Just think of classes as blueprints, objects as the real-life Lego creations, and methods as the secret Lego mechanisms. And yes, encapsulation is like keeping your Lego masterpiece safe from curious siblings!

CQRS, huh? I guess you could say it's like splitting your responsibilities in a relationship. The Command side handles the "honey-do" list, while the Query side handles all the questions like "Where did you put my keys?" Separation of concerns at its finest!

Ah, pure functions, the holy grail of programming. Like a perfectly brewed cup of coffee, they always produce the same output given the same input. No side effects, just pure bliss. Just like React, assuming every component is pure. Cheers to functions that are easier to trust, test, debug, and parallelize! ☕️
