Not funny, but interesting!

Palikúr

I'd never heard of this language - Palikúr is an indigenous South American language spoken in Brazil and French Guiana (only 1500 speakers).

Andy still won the series (hurrah), so the hotdog failure is just funny - it's not like all the other hotdogs worked out either!

He breaks his miserable front quite a few times, my favourite being when the robot shows where to plug in the charging cable.

I've been coding long enough that I still think of that as a fairly new thing in JS.

I assumed it was vandalism, not insurance fraud. I guess it's easier to get away with slashing tyres looking like a human than as a dubious bear.

I thought we were finally agreeing fully! My understanding of the question is "what is the difference between a third (of a pizza, say) and a half?"

1/2 - 1/3 = 1/6
1/2 = 1/3 + 1/6
a half is one sixth more than a third.

btw, I fixed my Kagi screenshot since I'd missed a word from the question (reading comprehension's clearly not my strong point today)

Ah, you're right - I misunderstood jbrain's point to just be about the "relative to the original" understanding. Guess I'm no smarter than Google's AI.

The ExplainXKCD is great:

In truth, no such spoon is present on the probe, and Europa's icy crust is too thick to be penetrated by a spoon of such size.

The author is either being very tongue-in-cheek or very literal and humourless and I'm enjoying it both ways.

Yes, and the Google AI response is correct (and quite clear) in what it says. edit: Thanks Batman. I mean that Google's understanding of the question is logical (although still the maths is wrong as you say (now I've re-read you)) and its answer explained the angle it was answering from.

However, I think the reasonable assumption for the intention behind the question is relative to a whole. I had third of a pizza, and now I have an extra sixth of a pizza. It's subtle, but that's the kind of thing AI falls down on.

If programming.dev is down, it's helpful to be able to see @meta@programming.dev from other instances and check for planned downtime, etc.

Google's AI seems dumber than the rest, for example here's Kagi answering the same (using Claude):

Perhaps Google's tried to make it run too cheaply - Kagi's one doesn't run unless you ask for it, and as a paid product it'll have different priorities.

I'm more surprised that trapeziums aren't related to triangles.

I thought he'd cloned them when I was reading, but you're right, they're all different.

While I don't disagree, this article is pretty bad and unconvincing. Is it a draft or something dashed out to collect referral fees?

I like that they used Microsoft Office WordArt for the image.

So they're posting the "lyrics" of an audiobook? Feels like a loophole, although I don't know about how copyright works with actual song lyrics.

Greg thinks that Rosie has low self esteem? That is absolutely not the impression I get from her.

It's been so long that I forgot about the hotdog.

I'm amazed how quickly the detective figured out the trick, and with the quotable logic of "He's Andy Zaltzman, he knows what velvet is!"

I'm kinda disappointed that Greg chickened out of double deductions: -3 × 2 = -6 as we learnt in primary school.

Hot sauce avoidance was genius, although I don't believe he actually knew the rules allowed it. On the other hand, Andy very was confident on that subject. yeeeeeeeEEEEEEEEES he was.

Andy's technique of throw high (and so land vertically) was my first thought.
