I just learned that here in Norway, for buses, electrically heating of the side mirrors is mandatory.
Some day, I guess electrically heated keyboards will be equally mandatory. At least when used between November and March.

Another T-Shirt I saw today...
Quote: My mind is like my browser. I have 19 tabs open, 3 are frozen and I have no idea, where the music is coming from
it could be adapted to CPians:

"Since the internet"?
I worked with vertical tabs on the left long before ... well, if you by 'internet' refer to the TCP/IP protocol suite, I guess internet did exist, but not in the www/browser sense.
Before MacIntosh and Windows, there was a lot of experimentation with different user interface styles. Every developer could do what ever he pleased; "mechanisms, not policy" was a mantra chanted all the time, especially in the open source community. So the developers did whatever they pleased. Every system was different. One major reason for the success of Windows / Mac was the consistency of the user interface. Users felt at home in it.
In the experimentation years (which lasted a lot longer in *nix environments than in others), vertical tabs were not uncommon. I even saw it in full-screen character based (25*80 ASCII characters) user interfaces.

"Genesis" will seek to assist journalists, not replace them—yet. Reality was nice while it lasted

Most "journalism" these days doesn't reflect reality as it is!

...the impossible takes slightly longer.

Quote: effort it takes to produce accurate and interesting news stories
Assistant tool: that does not look like a factual statement Dave
Writer: Go away, this needs a little spice to make it appealing and interesting. It's still close to the truth
Also, suggestions for "suggestions for ... alternative writing styles"
No, a good jounralist like has spent a long time understanding their own voice and tone, which also makes them interesting reads because of that tone. Switching for the sake of what, some generalised noise
Also the whole general writing tools for grammar I am shifting more to no please. For as long as language has existed it evolved and shifted. Only in the last 100 has it hit a hard set of rules, and these tools only reenforce that requirement. Twitter was great for allowing wider and how people speak and not just how written lanuage should be.
rambling rambling something something if makes any sense.
Yes to highlighting fact or not fact statements in writing because they publish.

This is already here, google is just trying to figure out how to make money. Most journalists these days, and I use journalist loosely aggregate from other sources (people who are making money selling news to journalists to lazy to do their own research). Or papers to cheap to hire real people.
Example: Multiple local news stations say the same thing verbatim - YouTube[^]

How do we augment traditional UI with natural language interfaces? How do we use AI to take a user request and turn it into something our apps can operate on? And how do we make sure our apps are safe, and doing work that developers and users alike can trust? It looks like you're trying to write some JSON. Would you like help with that?
Perhaps a slap on the head?
So that's what Anders has been working on lately.
