    Just another heads up - I switched to Family Classic and when it renewed it dropped all access to my family members. I wasn't aware it would do that and had a family member unable …

    I don't have a horse in this race, but to be fair, Mark goes into great detail about all this on the Joe Rogan podcast [0]. I think a reasonable person would also listen to what he…

    The BBC released an online version for the 30th Anniversary of the Hitchhikers Guide with some additional graphics if anyone would like some nostalgia [1]. I don't know anyone who …

    Doug seems pretty shocked by the pace of AI development in this video [1]. Still, Hofstadter's law has held true for me more often than it has not! [1]: https://www.youtube.com/wat…
