When a person driving a large commercial truck relies solely upon Google Maps for routing, they're already on the wrong course. Google Maps doesn't have a "truck mode." It does not take things like size or weight or…

It was an experiment. I didn't go into it with an expectation, or a hypothesis. The experiment was very low effort, and had very low cost, and it was the loose equivalent of throwing some shit at the wall to see if any…
I pasted a screenshot of the default text ("GHOST FONT") into ChatGPT 5.6 Sol, told it to read it, and without further instruction it chewed on it for awhile before coming back with: WHAT HAPPENS IN VEGAS STAYS IN VEGAS
I have a good friend who relies upon Starlink for connectivity for his home in southeastern Ohio (USA). We've worked through all of the other alternatives there, including using cellular modems with directional antennas…
Indeed. On a long-enough timeline, people will adjust to whatever it is that the sun is doing regardless of what the clock on the wall says. That's the way it has always been. So when we're talking about one second…
We've on track to do something different before the end of 2035: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leap_second#Phase-out_and_futu... Shifting to a leap-minute feels close-enough to me: We might get one every 50 or 100…
I want an orangutan that slowly spins webs of extruded snail teeth.
I used to use 4 of those with that same branding, Simmverter, on my first Pentium system. There were 4 variations of the ones I had, for each combination of Tall/Short and Forward/Backward. This way, 4 such adapters…
I didn't realize that I was on trial and that there was a requirement that I back up my personal anecdotes and observations with working examples to prove their worth. In reality, there's no reason for me to do so,…
So all of these problems are intractable? There is no way that any of them can be dealt with at all?

Owning an EV doesn't necessitate spending a few grand to have a fast charger installed. They charge fine from a regular 110v US wall outlet -- they just do it slowly. And by "slowly," I mean: Somewhere in the realm of…
Your description of this thing differs from my observation of the reality that I participate in. Perhaps we're holding it differently.
For me, minutes ago, as a Plus subscriber: I started up Codex CLI fresh. That version of Codex was 1.42.5. 5.6 wasn't in the models list. After I updated Codex to a newer version (0.144.0), 5.6-terra and -luna appeared…
I use the $20 plan, but I don't code all day every day. With Codex, it is my experience that I can churn through a 5h window in no time with newer models -- especially when they're new. So I tend to use fancier models…
I'd like to choose Option C: The tomato is native to places like Peru and Ecuador, and eventually was moved to [what is now known as] Mexico. The tomato is Ohio's state fruit, but it does not belong in Ohio. The only…
I think it's hard to generalize whether vertical farms are good or bad; efficient or inefficient. It seems that whether it works or not relies very heavily on the locality. In my part of Ohio, we have lots of farmland…
I was thinking about gated communities earlier today, in fact. We don't have many of them around here. But where we do have them: At a given time, the gate might be open or closed; passable, or impassable. The presence…
Oh? I've been on the Internet for ~35 years. What did I miss?
I like that term, botspeak. I'll keep it around and use it. One thing I did recently with the bot definitely involved actual smoke tests, though: I was working with real hardware that can blow up in real ways, with the…
That hasn't broadly happened yet, and it's even less likely to happen in the future with encrypted comms and locked-down firmware increasingly becoming the rule instead of the exception.
"That's such a clever way to see things! Let's delve into that!" The bots (all of them) seem to show patterns of overuse of specific phrases, words, and punctuation. Some of those are the ones you mentioned. Another…
