Getting rid of the blobs and putting a smiley face on 'pile of poo' were sad days.

In the 2x2 resolution (which can't support all of Braille, but does support the first 10 characters), A, B, C, E, and F are all the recognizable Braille shapes for those letters (t…

The proximate cause is Trump's crackdown on immigration. Immigration was responsible for 84% of the US's population gain in 2024. Both immigration rates and population gain were ha…

Not exactly the same, but in Japan (where obviously many of the great games of the 80s and 90s were authored) there's a mechanism to acquire a license from the government to publis…

The dog that died was kept in a crate.

Decided to check those ligatures out, but this is pretty much entirely unreadable to me. https://usgraphics.com/static/products/TX-02/images/TX-02-li...

The alleged cheater was also the head judge of the tournament.

Just to clarify for people who don't read it, the article isn't claiming this was trained on the voice of someone doing a Scarlett Johannson impression. It says it was trained on t…

Yes, that's where I read the story

Reminds me of a story I read about a North Korean who defected to the US during the Korean War. He came across an American nail clipper and was amazed by the machining and intricac…

> At what point does sufficiently advanced technology become not human? When it's not obviously just an airplane.

I could still taste the difference after decanting to a cup. I felt like it was still mostly can/bottle, but didn't have an American bottle to use as a control. There definitely is…

Having done triangle tests with Mexican Coke and HFCS Coke, I find it unbelievable someone "can't stand" one and enjoys the other. Mexican Coke doesn't use cane sugar anymore. But …

Haven't seen these new Google Maps yet, but from the screenshots, I couldn't disagree more. Broadway is completely invisible in the "old" map, but visible on the "new" map. But I g…

Yes, ideally everyone should check every e.g. Wikipedia citation before relying on it, but obviously most people don't. In the past, the only way to come across completely made up …

It seems either like his goal was treason, and going public was a bargaining chip to avoid being extrajudicially disappeared somewhere or whistleblowing was his goal and doing it i…
