There’s a growing split over how much room browsers should leave for ad blocking — and Chrome and Firefox have ended up on opposite sides of the fight. The name is Spock. If we don't battle to the death, they *will* kill us both.

RFC EDITOR PLEASE DELETE THIS SECTION.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Google uses MACHINE LEARNING and DEEP AI to scrape the menus out of PDFs and photos submitted by patrons. It works about as well as you'd expect. Either that or £800 burgers exist and are the best things I could ever eat.

A Google employee has given us greater insights into the mathematical mystery that is pi (also known to many of us as 3.14). Spoiler alert: it's a 2, preceeded by a 4.

A new supercomputer called Frontier has been widely touted as the world's first exascale machine - but was it really? Although Frontier, which was built by the Oak Ridge National Laboratory in Tennessee, topped what is generally seen as the definitive list of supercomputers, others may already have achieved the milestone in secret. And, are there aliens involved?

First we had to contend with fake news. Now it seems we have to contend with fake AI conversations. At least, that's my take on the matter. But then again, Google put him on leave for breach of confidentiality? More obfuscation to make us think this stuff really exists? I suppose it's possible, but I'm a glass half-empty person when it comes to AI. Actually, glass mostly-empty person.

A customer had a program that opened a very large spreadsheet in Excel. Very large, like over 300,000 rows. The program used the GetClipboardData function to retrieve the data in Rich Text Format. What they found was that the call to GetClipboardData was returning NULL. Much like the tree falling in the forest, if your call for data produces null, does it exist?

Microsoft said Wednesday it will include pay ranges in all of its U.S. job listings, a move that likely foreshadows a range of big corporations following suit, experts say, as competition for talent remains high. This is the Way.
