“Free ads that you can’t turn off”

Can AI do proper debugging and troubleshooting? That’s when I’ll start to get worried

Password managers. People will use anything but that: paper, notes app (without any security), using the same password everywhere…

Got it. USB plugs have spin 1/2

Did you just assume my distro?

For the record, I use Debian

People still use Ubuntu?

It’s not that easy, Google heavily dictates the development goals of Android. It’s basically developed behind closed doors, and then the source is dumped to the public after each release. Still better than iOS, but nothing like regular Linux distros

My pocket calculator: does not run anything

Conclusion: my pocket calculator wins. Always

Or, as someone put it: we are brains piloting bone mechs with muscle armor

“Narf!”

Telegram started the enshittification route already. Premium version, locked features and stickers, spam about their crypto crap, and now these useless stories

Ah right, for some reason I couldn’t read it properly. My bad

If they were parallel they wouldn’t meet. See °C and K

MemeScanner

Does OCR on memes (or images in general), so you can search them by text

Technically, yes… but if it’s in movie/show, you already know it’s fiction

I just imagined someone who’s smiling only while being looked at, and making an angry face otherwise. Perfect nightmare fuel

Biblically accurate chitons

OK, I’ve actually watched the video this time (the last part, as you suggested). It seems that the author decided to leave out the debate about the Hubble constant and talk about other phenomena in the early universe, which also have their uncertainties.

As far as I can tell, the Hubble tension is still a thing, and JWST only confirmed the measurements of the Hubble telescope. See for example this recent article on ars technica.

For what I can tell, after the clickbaits and the sensationalisms, there is an actual unexplained discrepancy in the values of the Hubble constant measured with different methods. This means that something is not right in one of the methods (perhaps both), or that we are missing something else.

And yes, the Hubble constant is closely related to the age of the universe, so it’s basically the same issue.

This is actually a good thing, because the “crisis” can be the first clue to discovering some new exciting science! Just look at how the “ultraviolet catastrophe” kickstarted the field of quantum mechanics a century ago
