Tesla's gesture recognition is getting really good. If you do the nazi salute while autopilot is engaged, the car will automatically merge into the far right lane.

How good is public-inbox? I just realized last weekend that I messed up after the last reinstall, so every lore node was running a single public-inbox-httpd worker (as opposed to 8 of them). The fact that it still worked and just occasionally got slow is really quite impressive, considering how much crawlers hit it.

Me: "the Swedish Chef" is a parody. Scandinavian languages don't sound like that.

Remember the old adage "It isn't true until the Kremlin officially denies it"? You now can safely replace "Kremlin" with "Trump administration" and you're still right, IMHO.

I shudder to think how many mindless site crawlers $500 billion can fund.

A followup for folks who are curious about the whole AI botswarm problem...
Some of these bots are clearly running on a bunch of machines on the same net. I have been able to reduce the traffic significantly by treating everything as a class-C net and doing subnet-level throttling. That and simply blocking a couple of them.
But that leaves a lot of traffic with an interesting characteristic: there are millions of obvious bot hits (following a pattern through the site, for example) that all come from a different IP. An access log with 9M lines as over 1M IP addresses, and few of them appear more than about three times.
So these things are running on widely distributed botnets, likely on compromised computers, and they are doing their best to evade any sort of recognition or throttling. I don't think that any sort of throttling or database of known-bot IPs is going to help here...not quite sure what to do about it.
What a world we have made for ourselves...

Å nei, jeg fikk endelig boken jeg bestilte fra Norge, bare for å oppdage at den er på nynorsk. Jeg kan lese den, men det kommer til å ødelegge rettskrivningen min. :/

I look forward to Trump's meeting with Putin and I'm sure that the outcome will be just as fruitful as that time when Trump met with Kim Jong Un and brought resolution and lasting peace to the Korean peninsula.

The biggest danger of learning North Germanic languages like Norsk is realizing that Ikea furniture names are actually pretty dull. Like, did you know that "blåhaj" is literally just "blue shark?"
