I respect 8BitDo for their controller variety and modernization of old controllers, but their D-pads suck ass, giving way to dual inputs when rocking or rolling on one direction.

I was given a Barney doll on my second birthday. According to my parents, I set it down on the coffee table, took a step back, and held an excited look of anticipation for several seconds.

You see, in the original VHS tapes, Barney was a doll that the kids would set down on a table, and then he transformed into the full-sized Barney. I clearly thought my real-life Barney doll would do the same thing.

I'm not sure I've ever recovered from this betrayal.



โ€œI listened to NSF staff say DOGE had the authority to give thumbs up or down to grant applications which had been systematically vetted by layers of subject matter experts.

Our closed-to-the-public deliberations were observed by Zachary Terrell from the DOGE team. Through his Zoom screen, he showed more interest in his water bottle & his cuticles than the discussion. Terrell..accessed the NSF awards system to block the dispersal of approved grants.โ€œ

The marine bacterium Alcanivorax borkumensis feeds on oil, multiplying rapidly in the wake of oil spills, and thereby accelerating the elimination of the pollution, in many cases. It does this by producing an โ€œorganic dishwashing liquidโ€ which it uses to attach itself to oil droplets. Researchers from the Uni Bonn , RWTH, @HHU and #FZJuelich have now discovered the mechanism by which this โ€œorganic dishwashing liquidโ€ is synthesized. fz-juelich.de/en/news/archive/โ€ฆ

This whole article about who can and can't detect AI writing is fascinating!

The average person essentially does no better than chance, but a panel of 5 people who use AI for writing every day got only 1 in 300 wrong.

The screenshot describes how they look at the writing differently.
