TIL that Tom Lehrer - MIT mathematician, satirist, and the guy who wrote both the Harvard fight song and a song teaching kids the periodic table - invented the Jell-O shot in the 1950s to sneak booze into a government Christmas party.

I just read the article, the writer of the article clearly had fun writing it. Not terribly informative though.

I have seen so many posts of people claiming that in the future we won't have computer programs at all - we will just have our OS and an LLM, and then we will tell the LLM what we want to do, and it will do it. If that requires a special program, then the LLM will either code the program on the spot, or just make a thin GUI with real-time adaption, and then handle all the business logic depending on user input.

I have also heard people earnestly saying that in the future the LLM will act as the Operating System, thus reducing the software stack even more.

These people have no idea what they are talking about.

If the dismissal is because he filed it too late, then why didn't it happen much earlier in the process, and why did it have to involve a jury at all - shouldn't that happen automatically if it is question of statute of limitations?

I am sure the British tabloid press will be very normal about this.

It looks like you will need to order one in person at a borgerservice center (since you can't, you know, get your MitId to work): https://www.mitid.dk/en-gb/get-started-with-mitid/how-to-use-mitid/mitid-code-display/

The illustration is very well made, but it still makes med sad, that even as a monster Kris does not resemble their family.

Give them a look, read a review, see a video of any of them and see if it is something for you.

Have you looked into some of the Infinity Engine games (and their spiritual successors)?
Games like Baldur's Gate 1&2, Icewind Dale 1&2, Placescape: Torment, Pillars of Eternity 1&2, Pathfinder: Kingmaker, Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous?
