Its eyes are on the sides of its head…

Also, researchers asking ChatGPT for long lists of random numbers were able to extract its training data from the output (which OpenAI promptly blocked).

Or maybe that’s what you meant?

I’m both, I say fuck all the time. I fuck on and off the clock.

My first thought exactly :P

On the other hand, TAI does not take into account the variations in Earth's rotation speed, which determines the true length of a day. For this reason, UTC is constantly compared to UT1. Before the difference between the two scales reaches 0.9 seconds, a leap second is added to UTC.

On average, Earth has been slowing down a bit over the past decades, so UTC is currently running 37 seconds behind TAI.

The Earth is a sphere, which means there’s no easy way to project it onto a flat surface. One of the methods used to project the Earth’s surface on the map results in certain places (such as Greenland) to be stretched to huge sizes, sometimes appearing as big as Africa (look up “Mercator map”). The joke here is that while we expect him to make a comment about the map’s projection, he instead comments on how Greenland on the physical map is only a few inches, as opposed to its actual size.

So yeah, subverted expectations, peak Dad joke

Lazier way:

It’s still very impressive. The EEG she uses only reads general thoughts: e.g. thinking about pushing a boulder. She can only really do specific actions with that: there’s no level of analog control (how much should this move), it’s just a single action (fire a fireball). The brain chip is likely much higher fidelity and therefore can read much finer signals. All the credit goes to the researchers, of course, who’ve spent the last decade researching and fine tuning this technology.

IIRC they’re paralyzed from the shoulders down, so probably not.

BTW: this example probably won’t compile.

(get_field takes ownership of self and drops it when it goes out of scope. To prevent this, use &self instead).

Not as “horrifying” as you make it sound. However, it does rely quite a bit on compiler optimizations. Haskell uses this approach a lot: Rust, however, very rarely does.

Not to flex, but I can draw ampersands and curly brackets.

Maybe I should’ve gone for a different skill…
