The Bob's Burgers illustrators love accurate buildings and infrastructure, down to the framing, plumbing, wiring. The boiler has an expansion tank. The power poles have transformers wired up just like they should be. There's a gas meter in the alley. The under-sink plumbing is detailed and correct

There's a 10% chance that Rowboat will kill us all before the end of the decade. Until then, I hope you'll find it's drastically faster, more accurate, less expensive, and more fun than using an LLM to play with large datasets. Our latest: buttondown.com/rowboat/arch... Give it a try: rowboat.net

Question: when I'm using my laptop, why does it hurt so much when I accidentally rest my elbow against these USB-C cables plugged into this Anker charger...? Answer:

This proton traveled four billion years to intersect with the M3 processor in my MacBook Pro. Moving at the speed of light, it struck the silicon wafer – changing a single bit from a zero to a one. My microphone unmutes just in time for the whole company to hear me flush.

One of the more misogynistic takes currently trending in the AI policy space is "women use less AI than men because they have less tech literacy" Ok but have you considered that women use less AI than men because we have more tech literacy?
