Ominous collection for your viewing pleasure.
Y'all, the world is sleeping on what NASA just pulled off with Voyager 1
The probe has been sending gibberish science data back to Earth, and scientists feared it was just the probe finally dying. You know, after working for 50 GODDAMN YEARS and LEAVING THE GODDAMN SOLAR SYSTEM and STILL CHURNING OUT GODDAMN DATA.
So they analyzed the gibberish and realized that in it was a total readout of EVERYTHING ON THE PROBE. Data, the programming, hardware specs and status, everything. They realized that one of the chips was malfunctioning.
So what do you do when your probe is 22 Billion km away and needs a fix? Why, you just REPROGRAM THAT ENTIRE GODDAMN THING. Told it to avoid the bad chip, store the data elsewhere.
Sent the new code on April 18th. Got a response on April 20th - yeah, it's so far away that it took that long just to transmit.
And the probe is working again.
From a programmer's perspective, that may be the most fucking impressive thing I have ever heard.
nothing funnier to me than when AI does math wrong. like I get why it happens, it's a language model that's treating the numbers you feed it as words rather than integers and then giving you an answer based on how those words typically appear in a block of text instead of actually performing a calculation. but the one thing computers are genuinely incredible at. you fucked up a perfectly good calculator is what you did, look at it it's got hallucinations

it really is crazy how quickly people were willing to just let chatgpt do everything for them. i have never even tried it. brother i don't even know if it's just a website you go to or what. i do not know where chatgpt actually lives, because i can decide my own grocery list.

I'm listening to the first few episodes of HFTH again with my friend and was overtaken with the desire to create this.
[ID: a Hello from the Hallowoods version of the bird screaming over another bird meme. It's a four panel comic.
In the first a black bird with three white eyes is talking and saying "Not now, not now, Diggory thought, as they were pulled into an utter darkness"
In the second panel he continues "with the ghastly boy standing over them, staring down with cruel and merciless eyes." But is interrupted by another speech bubble that says "Are you missing friends or family left outside of the Dreaming Box?"
In the third one another bird is visible with heart shaped glasses and a wide red hat, that continues shouting "Try our new Recommend a Friend program!"
In the last panel the first bird sits with annoyance on its face while the speech bubble of the other bird continues with "I’m Lady Ethel Mallory with the Botulus Corporation, makers of the Dreaming Box."
