Horrible typo in a real estate listing: The exterior is private and wonderful for entertaining, offering multiple seating areas with outdoor speakers, extensive landscaping, numerous fruit trees, and a perineal garden.

Oh Quora. The lead item in its latest email digest is someone confidently giving an egregiously wrong answer to a question about Intel, and it’s followed by a photo of someone who has been tortured and raped in jail, with the poster asking “What do you think of this?”

I also don't think the voices are close enough to be an issue, and I don't think Altman tweeting "her" indicated that it was supposed to be a vocal clone, but rather that OpenAI had pulled off the technical feat portrayed in the film.

Google really has become a catastrophe. A search for “which countries allow homeschooling” generates a list that includes Germany, where homeschooling remains illegal.

Nothing has confirmed to me that people on Twitter don't know how basic things work more than taking over a company. They think I walked in four business days ago and told a unionized writers room to drop everything and join the global infitada. In reality I'm trying to get them moved off of Cigna.

They've done it! Voyager 1 is talking to NASA again. After 5 months of absolutely heroic efforts from the JPL team, they isolated a single faulty memory chip in one of the onboard computers. The coding workaround sounds both cunning and devious, and it's worked. 🥳🧪🔭
