Google, following the industry trend to AI-all-the-things, has released Magika - a machine learning model which can identify file types. It claims it can outperform traditional methods by 20 per cent.
I pitted it against BSD File on something I figured Google hadn't included in its million-file-strong corpus: CU Amiga's Mega CD-ROM coverdisc from November 1995.
Magika identified... one file correctly, a plain-text document. File? File got 'em all, and quicker too.
(An unfair test, I know!)

"Food Not Bombs Houston, the organization that has been ticketed 90 times over the last year for providing free meals to homeless individuals near City Hall, has declared victory after a federal judge issued a preliminary injunction.
U.S. District Judge Andrew Hanen granted two orders Wednesday essentially telling the City of Houston to stop citing volunteers with the organization, at least for now."

It’s mind boggling how much more power-efficient computers have become in the last two decades.
It’s not that new PCs are less power hungry than old PCs. It’s that all the computing power of a big old PC can be had on a tiny cheap board that runs on a battery.

An Air Canada "AI"-powered chatbot gave a customer bogus information. Then the airline said it wouldn't honor what it had told the customer, claiming the bot wasn't actually part of the airline (despite being run from its website).
A court said "give me a break" and ordered the airline to honor what the bot said.
