I know how it works and I’ve seen coffee plants in real life. I didn’t know the fruit is called a cherry in English. They don’t look much like cherries apart from being red…

I guess you mean “berries”

I took up online tutoring and teaching programming for kids. It has great benefits:

• It’s an hour or so after work, it has a fixed schedule so it forces me to clock out
• it makes me focus hard so I completely forget about work
• it pays for itself (not my corporate day-job rate, but I’m not doing it for free)
• I can try out languages and tech I’d normally wouldn’t be able to in my day job, or I’d have to invest my free time for a side project
• I have a background in teaching… I like it, it’s fun and refreshing
• I’ve helped many kids jump start their interest in programming even in families that know nothing about tech at all. I’ve helped a few of them to get accepted to the school they wanted to and pursue a career in programming

All in all, teaching after work makes for a great hobby and a strong barrier for my day job so I don’t find myself working late anymore.

Oh but it is

Judging from the photo at least Intex seems to be doing quite well.

AFAIK the black hole in Interstellar is considered a fairly realistic representation (not SA* specifically though).

They even published a paper on it.

I didn’t, but now I do. Thanks, I guess.

The brain also named itself (along with everything else)

I’m a developer, so that’s a bonus for me. However, it’s just ChatGPT with access to search, you can use it for anything, not just code. I tends to produce scripts rather than guides when you ask how to do something, but if you get used to it, it’s just a matter of phrasing your query the right way. I don’t know of any other similar service - other than Bing - that can search on web and crunch the results for you. And I find Phind to be much more reliable than Bing.

I’m using Phind. It’s presumably using Google search, but it skips all the bloat and ads, skips clicking through the links one by one, and rummaging through articles full of more ads and annoying popups. Then it summarizes everything with sources, if I ever need to go to the page directly (which I mostly don’t need to). And it supports bangs for Google and DDG, if you need to go old-school.
