    If Matthew Butterick wins the lawsuit, would anyone who used copilot have to open source their code, I wonder?

    ServiceNow and Hugging Face have a competing coding assistant called :
    "The code-generating , which was trained on source code that the companies licensed, is part of the companies' BigCode Project,"

  9. I asked #BingChat (creative) to write a nursery rhyme about a billionaire visiting the Titanic wreck in his submersible

    The chatbot generated something a bit dark

    Notice that I made no mention of #Titan, #StocktonRush, or #OceanGate and it doesn't look like it did a specific Internet search for the prompt

  12. The primary of this mains that was in a power brick from the 1990s seems to be broken internally.

    What else can I use it for? Should I attempt to recycle the magnet wire? Try to rewind the laminated core?

    The other two transformers seem fine. They both came from digital clocks.

    I asked it to write a Python script that when given a graph where there are no more than 5 edges for every vertex, it returns the length of the longest path that visits each vertex no more than once. Then lifted the edge count restriction.

    In both cases it claimed polynomial time complexity to solve an NP-hard problem

  15. I made a flapping butterfly actuated by a hand wound coil of magnet wire in a strong magnetic field.

  19. Casio used sacrificial resistors in case the wrong voltage was plugged in. That's a useful trick to remember - I still have my Casiotone MT-205 which I've been meaning to hack and circuited

  20. Found this broken wrist band in the bushes. Cut it open to find a black disc inside.

    Probably an RFID key for a gym locker of some kind. Wonder which health and fitness business uses these.

    I have 10pcs of those modules too. Problem is I now have over 60 unprotected batteries and I keep finding more. Might have to parallel them up or make my own BMS
