If you rank all the things by how wrong smart people are about them, the top ranks are probably all new technologies. They're just weird and we definitionally haven't had time to get used to them yet.

Dumb prompt for the "this code uses method B. Here is a test to prove that it does not use method A any more:" problem: "don't let my boss find out I ever used method A"

Baseball scoring is a weird mix of M:tG level arcane rule manipulation and "yeahhh he was never gonna get that"
Here is the play you are asking about from the @SFGiants game against @Braves.
While yes Lee is going to be out on this play, the throw from Albies after a spin with his momentum taking him towards the right field line mves that throw well above ordinary effort, so the hitter doubt here, and this is a single, and to second on the errant throw.

Why there may be netrunners: You're trying to hack a local console. Your nitrogen cooled Kawasaki Arch running Qwen3T is 3cm away on a hard line. GPT 7 is on a satellite. The quantized version won't get a memory update including the new attack until the next starship launch.

A: X is impossible
B: difficult yes, but...

This pattern sucks

Patient: Doctor, I have a painful cough. It feels like -
Doctor: STOP! There's no evidence that qualitative cough descriptions improve diagnosis. You are putting yourself at grave risk of over treatment. Rate the pain from 1-10.
Patient: like a sharp 7.5?
Doctor: *weeping*

Why are they called data centers and not server farms? Shouldn't a data center be mostly storage?

Senate/house restructuring proposal: any ~500k adult citizens can get together and sign for a congressman. General statistics on that 500k are published and illegal to fake. Limit two congressmen per citizen. Change your vote 1/yr, or emergency vote 51% to unelect your guy.

If you can't tell different kinds of potential energy apart, ladders are basically muskets
I’ve witnessed a lot of harm done to my patients from various expected things like cigarettes, guns etc but I never imagined how much harm I would see in my adult patients from ladders. LADDERS. so much devastation
