I received an email from John Graham-Cumming telling me my code was in the original Terminator movie. And it's true!
Here's the still from the movie:
I found the textbook I used in a graduate Neural Network course from 1986–and in it handwritten notes for an interactive language I wrote to define and train small nets with hidden layers.

Here’s my college COBOL textbook, circa 1983. The language I wrote Skynet in (really!)

GrokBot seems pretty good at finding discount and promo codes, too! I just saved 15% at @Chewy

Someone factored the T-Mobile Sidekick's 512-bit developer key with CADO-NFS to run new code on it, and is rebuilding Danger's dead servers. 512-bit RSA was "secure" in 2004. Now it's a weekend project.

Ukraine's anti-drone GPS spoofer is so good that cars and phones near Kyiv think they're in Lima, Peru. The company's apology: "Some technical issues."
Spoofing is now part of everyday life in a war zone.

I want to go on @LoveItorListItV and tell them I want an open concept bathroom and an eat-in closet.

Since @Xero switched to "AI Search" it's broken
The search box in the corner says it's for "contacts and transactions"
But it no longer reliably matches transactions.
And without a search feature, accounting software is useless.

I've spent hours on the phone with @Xero Accounting so far.
They broke the way my bank feeds work since they switched to "Plaid" as their bank feed connector.
Nobody there seems to know how to fix it.
I haven't been able to keep my books properly since July when they switched.

This is outragous. @xai and @bot GrokBot wouldn't let me set up a rule to autoblock content I don't want to see. I got a message (via email!) from Xai today:
I read the X TOS and there's no restrictions of me blocking or muting whoever and whatever I want to block.

You wouldn't think @Microsoft could make .NET any better, but they just did!
I'm a big fan of .NET and use C#/F# extensively, especially for portability.
