Day 7--One of AI's takes from: "heat miser christmas space satellite snow Earth." They are all a bit weird, as if there's not enough information on "heat miser."

@grmpyprogrammer I use it (the GitHub one), but it doesn't feel like a copyright violation. It mostly suggests names or continuations from lists.

@georgetakei He's just a troll scammer, no point in raising his clout.

@carnage4life I guess a printout of Wikipedia would be very useful.

@carnage4life Then again I can't think of anything sensible to bring with me. A micrometer? A mechanical lathe from the 1930's?

I can finally reveal some research I've been involved with over the past year or so.

We (@redford, @mrtick and I) have reverse engineered the PLC code of NEWAG Impuls EMUs. These trains were locking up for arbitrary reasons after being serviced at third-party workshops. The manufacturer argued that this was because of malpractice by these workshops, and that they should be serviced by them instead of third parti
es.

@PJ_Evans @lilithsaintcrow I think companies like Amazon would gladly build a last mile delivery system if one didn't already exist, because that would make it harder to compete with them. They use it because it's cheaper, but they would much rather be a monopoly than be cheap.

@danluu Some things are easier to get to because of the info cards, things like definitions, weather, unit conversions etc. But otherwise the results are difficult to navigate because of all of the ads.

@greegreehoist It's possible he was expecting a "you", but don't let it go to waste. Tell him you want the thing your fingers crave to touch more with each passing day, that you can't stop looking at, that brings you joy and wonder daily, that knows you better than you know yourself, that you couldn't live a day withput. A new phone.

Are you disappointed with the quality of your online interactions? The culprit are the transistors in your computer, well-known for having a robotic, tinny signal quality.

I've been gradually replacing mine with vacuum tubes. My social media experiences are now much crisper and show significantly improved tonality.

@lcamtuf Wrong browser profile, happens to us all.

Writing fewer words is difficult and usually unnecessary.

@lcamtuf Am I wrong or does this say "guns are dumb"?

@rudytheelder Is there perhaps an epub version? I couldn't find any non-scam links to one.

@georgetakei I assume he's just trying to weasel his way back into Republican politics.
