please stop abbreviating chatgpt as "chat". my culture (twitch viewer) is not your costume.

dawg if this was a 5:10 end enter RSG as a category would be basically dead

i would like to remind people that machine learning has been considered a subfield of AI since decades before LLMs were invented

yo i'm feinberg vs. THIS is hackingnoises vs. FINALLY...

It is really funny when someone explains a concept in a pretty casual or colorful way and because the term didn't really have a good name people are aware of, the terrible metaphor they happened to use just sort of stuck and now we have terminology that does not make sense unless you are […]

in 26.3 they're adding a feature type for the end fountain. it's called... *drumroll* end_podium! i'm sure loads of people are going to use this name

flexing a bit but as a kid i was immune to the "try to build an aether portal in vanilla minecraft" trick because i spent hours poring over the minecraft wiki and knew every single block, item, and mob in the game

as a native english speaker it was a bit of a culture shock when i learned in late 2024 (as nigel richards was making headlines in spanish-language scrabble) that other languages often consider digraphs (e.g. CH, LL, RR in spanish) to be a single "letter"

in 2018-2019 mojang went on a spree of renaming a bunch of things in minecraft for seemingly no reason whatsoever first off they renamed the mesa biome to "badlands", a name which i have never seen anybody use ever same deal with renaming the blacksmith building in villages to "weaponsmith"

incredible that toontown rewritten is trying to gaslight people into thinking this is a fully original composition lmao www.youtube.com/watch?v=09bO...

In Scrabble for the original PlayStation, a bug causes triple-triple-triples to be granted only 15x the base score, rather than 27x.

i was going through my X archives and found this by @superpodsaga.com, which I qrt'd at some point years ago so, let me bring the question back: what is the most useless piece of video game knowledge you know?

i have just learned that ANTIROBOTROBOT is a valid word in Swedish scrabble, and i thought you should know too

TIL that it's "shoo-in", not "shoe-in". like it makes sense why it would be the former, but i can't tell you how many times i've seen the latter and i don't think i've literally ever seen the former until just now. every single piece of text i've ever read containing this term has spelled it wrong

this is a tangent within a tangent within a tangent but there's an episode of the 1990s reboot of the cartoon "secret squirrel" where a villain named quark is defeated when the eponymous squirrel reads this very dictionary definition

IIan07@ian07.bsky.social · 2w ago

shoutout also goes to the NWL definition of QUARK which *still*, over half a century after quarks were confirmed to exist back in the 1970s, describes them as a "hypothetical" object...

scrabble always brings out an impulse in people to insist that the dictionary should magically contain every single word that they know and none of the words that they don't

one time i called ann selzer the "nigel richards of political polling" and then later that same day found out she's a competitive scrabble player. then the next day was the 2024 election where she had her worst ever polling miss and she retired immediately after

every single video uploaded to the internet before youtube was founded is doomed to be misdated by youtube commenters to whenever they were uploaded to youtube instead of when they were originally created there are people who think OK Go formed in 2009

average argument for permanent ST: points to actual research showing various health and safety benefits of standard time average argument for permanent DT: "b- but i like it when it's light out at 9 pm :(((((((((("

i never saw the actual clip of this before and so i didn't know she said it so awkwardly which is probably part of the reason why it was such a gaffe "how we get them to have pokemon go to the polls"

Jan@butwhosjan.bsky.social · 3w ago

morning! happy 10th anniversary of pokémon go to the polls

daylight savings is a tricky thing because on one hand i would prefer sticking to either DT or ST over changing the clocks twice a year but on the other hand i would also prefer permanent ST over permanent DT and the latter makes it harder to get to the former

thinking about how the kingdom/phylum/class/order/family/genus/species system is pretty much vibes-based and taxonomists have to keep adding more and more ranks between them

tangent but it's very funny that we have two states that are basically only separate because 1880s republicans wanted to have four new senators instead of two

when a region (e.g. dakota territory) is split into north and south or east and west people often call them e.g. "the dakotas". are north dakota and south dakota two separate dakotas or are they parts of one whole?

the "mcconnell's death is being covered up to prevent beshear from appointing a dem senator" conspiracy theory is really funny after realizing that kentucky is one of the only states that doesn't allow the governor to appoint senators, precisely because the GOP wanted to strip power away from him

They're saying his last words were "Mitch McConnell still survives"

seeing someone refer to a wikipedia infobox as a "wikibox"

man the music industry is fucked up. and i don't mean like all of the other ways it's fucked up. i mean from a cybersecurity perspective it's fucked up
