  1. Holy mackerel, I had no idea #qalculate could do this kind of stuff!!!

    rld@Intrepid:~$ qalc

      (2^24) seconds = 194 d + 4 h + 20 min + 16 s
    
    > 2^32 seconds
    
      (2^32) seconds = 49710 d + 6 h + 28 min + 16 s
    
    > 2^32 milliseconds
    
      (2^32) milliseconds = 49 d + 17 h + 2 min + 47.296 s
    
    > 80 fahrenheit to celsius

  35. Has Wolfram Alpha gotten stupider over time?

    I remember using it years ago to do reasonably-complex unit analysis, and it would figure out and name the correct result unit if you put in a formula of units that reduced to it.

    E.g. querying something like "length / time" would spit out "velocity" somewhere in the answer. Or "voltage * current" would get 'power' or 'electric apparent power' if it was feeling pendantic.

    And now it just… doesn't do that anymore? What the fuck? Is this some dumb AI bullshit again? Because that was actually a useful tool at one point, goddamnit.
