I live in Canada on the west-coast. I waddled onto the beach and stole found a computer that I could use.
- Comment on Dinosaur Food: 100 million year old foods we still eat today 4 hours ago:
They actually start producing in April, but as there’s a non-zero chance the pine nuts from April are from felled trees, I avoid it. The species is critically endangered; eating some nuts is not a big deal, but falling the tree is.
Good to know! I’d hate for these to suddenly become a fad and then endanger the tree even more. Knowing about the issue ahead of time means that people might check for it when buying it

RadioShack is still around. Not sure how good it is.
Interestingly, it started as a mail order business in the 1920s, switched to retail stores in the 1960s, and then in 2017 it switched back to an online only / mail delivery business.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Empirical_formula
In chemistry, the empirical formula of a chemical compound is the simplest whole number ratio of atoms present in a compound
In this comic, the “compound” is the entire observable universe. So it’s the simplest whole number ratio of every atom in the observable universe
A more in depth explanation for this comic (and all other xkcd comics) is here: www.explainxkcd.com/…/3200:_Chemical_Formula

- Comment on Volvo invented the three-point seat belt 67 years ago; now it has improved it 3 weeks ago:
Volvo’s new central computing system, HuginCore (named after a bird in Norse mythology), runs the EX60 with more than 250 trillion operations per second. It has been developed in-house, together with its partners Google, Nvidia, and Qualcomm.
“With the HuginCore system we can collect a lot of data and make decisions in the car instantly and combine that with the belt’s ability to choose different load levels,” says Åsa Haglund, head of the Volvo Cars Safety Center. “A box of possibilities opens up where you can detect what type of crash it is and who is in the car and choose a more optimal belt force.”

Being a former heroin addict doesn’t make someone a bad source of information, especially if they’ve turned their lives around.
But I agree otherwise

Yup, it looks like generative AI + image editing after the fact
Image generators have trouble juggling multiple colors and patterns on clothing. It would be a weird stylistic choice to create that effect with image edits alone

- Comment on Why is sharpedo blocked in image searches on DuckDuckGo and Bing, but not Google? 1 month ago:
So interestingly, slight misspellings will show the pokemon with a “Showing results for Sharpedo”, but if you click on that link the results will disappear. I also can’t find any other blocked examples with different made up words.
It’s weird, like it has been manually blocked

- Comment on Every decision led him to this point 1 month ago:
I looked up “robot kicks man” and found this
digitaltrends.com/…/humanoid-robot-teleoperator-k…
The process of training humanoid robots can take various forms. Unitree’s G1 robot for example, is trained partly through teleoperation whereby a human operator wears a motion-capture suit or uses controllers to perform particular movements or entire tasks, with the robot mirroring the movements in real time.
But teleoperation clearly carries some risks, especially if you get too close to the robot you’re training.
But the teleoperator then turns slightly to perform a big kick. Unfortunately for the teleoperator, the robot, mimicking his movements, performs the same kick, catching the guy right where it hurts.
He drops to the ground, letting out a yelp of pain as he falls. Of course, the robot falls to the ground too. If it’d been equipped with speech capabilities, we’d have likely heard a yelp, as well.
