Phenomenon: AI/tech heads can't admit a product is 99% military in nature, so they invent a whisper thin theory on how it might have some sort of civilian use.

See: autonomous drones with the capability to track people running away through heavy woodlands for Search and Rescue

[Praveen Kumar Verma @Alacritic_Super]

Purdue University's IDEAS Lab built an autonomous drone that tracks runners through dense forests completely without GPS or cloud networks.

By running 3D LiDAR mapping and obstacle-avoidance AI entirely on-chip, it can weave under tree canopies and predict target movement through blind spots in real time.

Massive implications for next-gen search & rescue and edge AI.

@Luas when are trams next running towards Brides Glen?

All trams marked as Sandyford

This includes a claimed proof and Lean formalization of the Unique Games Conjecture, which I have been personally working on for the last year and a half.

@KarlBrophy I'm afraid it must be imported from across the Liffey

O'Brien's may have a bottle under the counter if you wear sunglasses and speak softly

[Stephen Fitzpatrick @SFitzpatrickBL]

Many years ago a then-bachelor friend brought a bottle of Blossom Hill White Zinfandel to our housewarming.

It has finally seen use this year massacring fruit flies like no other substance

[Karl Brophy @KarlBrophy]

I imagine they existed elsewhere (and I think I recall them from living in South Africa) but fruit flies are recent things in Ireland, yes?

I mean, I don’t recall the little f**kers from growing up or even until relatively recently.

Little pricks love wine too.

@Clearpreso Read his Wikipedia first so you can follow the lyrics more easily

I would say that I really enjoyed it, and I wouldn't love that type of music

A great example of 'it's not enough to do the thing, but one must also do it well'

In light of the annoyingly viral Boston Globe article on the long covid lesbian bar in the midst of a mask-relaxing crisis, we are unlocking our latest Last Ditch episode for everyone, and yes, there are clips. Enjoy.

I assumed it was a WWIII contingency policy to enable communication with population in the event of centralised disruption

[Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias]

I can’t believe that amidst all this talk about affordability there’s a huge bipartisan majority in Congress to make cars slightly more expensive with zero upside.

@tmlittlewood @PeteBaklinski @CBC I've actually saw someone in the wild use 'unborn foetus' recently, presumably in a 'don't shout at me' sort of way.

[Stephen Fitzpatrick @SFitzpatrickBL]

@tmlittlewood @PeteBaklinski @CBC This isn't accurate.

While foetus is an old word, so is 'unborn' referring to a child in the womb, coming from 'unboren'.

As I understand it, unborn (noun) would have been in more common use in modern-ish times than foetus which was relegated to medicine, until....*hand wave*.

@ChillWario @DellAnnaLuca I don't think the point is that no coffee mug ever reaches a thousand uses. Lots do.

But I would say that the vast majority of mugs don't come close to that before they break or get trashed.

[Stephen Fitzpatrick @SFitzpatrickBL]

Everyone is rightly clowning on him for not counting the pubic sector, but no one is pointing out that a university professor didn't spot the difference between 'population' and 'numbers in employment'.

[Aidan Regan @Aidan_Regan]

Ireland employs 50,000 civil servants to run a sovereign state of 5.5 million people. That's less than 2% of employment. The Irish state isn't bloated. It's too small to govern the country we've become.

Maybe the reason China is dominating in everything is the gender imbalance making men strive like crazy.

been thinking things over and wonder if i’ve taken this whole longevity thing too far

@DevinSabas @harpersmagunion They only formed two years ago in fairness - they didn't superintend the failure to keep up with inflation/CoL.

@s8mb Thank you for alerting me to the fact that some people buy their toilet brushes second hand

@JacobALinker In fairness, the caption was changed years ago.

Also, the same page refers to the Holocaust as one of the most evil and tragic events in history.
