Link. I suspect Apple doesn’t document when it’s embarrassed by product issues.

Link. His presidential primary strategy led him to deprecate vaccination.

Link. The best cyclists most of us know are about half as fast as the best in the world.

Link. I think remote work will reverse more than it has.

Link. 2004 NASA modeling. Data for that time is very limited and we don’t know why the ocean temps shifted differently.

Link. In reality only a subset of metadata is preserved. Resource forks are stripped. Large xattr are lost. 3rd party can be lost, which implies they should not be relied on.

No documentation.

Link. The dystopian mirror of the AI guardian persons with cognitive disability need to live independently.

Link. Fast Times.

Link. Streaming and efficiency. The job isn’t very appealing now. Coding changed in similar ways.

Link. Nvidia’s valuation is a warning.

Link. Russia’s favorite topic.

Link. Canadians get most of both. Noah’s main point is we should be learning domain-specific lessons on things like disability, homelessness, and criminal justice.

Link. The ingredients on the labels do not match the contents of the bottle. Banned stimulants, a Russian nootropic, minuscule levels of “active” ingredients. It’s all very American.

Link. “We will eventually find out if these drugs can actually help patients in the real world, or whether they do more harm than (any) good. In a more rational world, we might try finding all this out before we approve them and sell them to patients, but we’re clearly going to do it the other way.”

Link. I’m sure progress will slow before the end.

Link. That’s insane. Small part of Gruber post on “Apple AI”.

Link. Gruber describes two ways to automatically relaunch an app that’s crashing in the background.

Link. Presumably they use their phones. In some ways similar to gov computers.

Link. Probably ended earlier due to lag between infection and death.

Link. “He said he was not sure why he had embarked on the journey of nearly 4,000 miles”

Link. Real number is about 1.5 million dead. That’s a state secret.

Link. Over 65 did leave and stay out though.

Link. Bigger problem than Rupert Murdoch? This article rebuts NEPA defenders.

Link. It was for me.

Link. A fix would be nice.

Link. I’ve been having some odd disconnects and Mojave refusing to remember my network password. I found two keychain entries, one system and one iCloud.

Link. In this case it’s a lifelong cognitive disability, but it’s similar for elders with acquired cognitive issues. Apps continually grow in complexity but it’s often possible to reverse the complexity of Apple products in Settings. #special_needs #CognitiveDisability

Link. Classic Biden arm twisting. Do it now voluntarily or risk legislation. They will still try to hide this feature like Airbnb hides it’s “true cost” option.

Link. A helpful explainer.

Link. The drop didn’t exist, studies all fake. But meta analysis included then and influenced guideline.

Nature is very reluctant to say which countries have the highest percent of fake publications. (Hint: either China or India – or maybe Egypt?)

Link. “The amount of food needed is close to the body’s maximum capacity for digestion, so failure to keep up with the enormous calorie intake can spell disaster, because playing catch-up is near impossible.”

Link. “Researchers encourage the public to test themselves: https://yourmist.streamlit.app.”

I figured I’d be good at this and I am (19/20 correct). I missed one because I thought exam was harder than it is.

Link. Google so will be abandoned in 6m and killed in 3 years. Remember Charlie Brown.

Link. Core economics principal: risk can be insured, uncertainty cannot.

Link. The state of access to medical journals has broken me. I’ve added Sci-Hub to my core bookmarks.

Link. The article describes neither cause nor fix; Canada and the US have less severe but similar issues. I think it’s a combination of demographics, Baumol’s Cost Disease, the complexity of modern medicine, and the failure of medical informatics to deliver on its promises.

Link. “It allows the AI to do math (very complex math) and do more accurate work with words (like actually counting words in a paragraph), since it can write Python code to address the natural weaknesses of Large Language Models in math and language.”

Link. XKCD really likes fireflies.

Link. “I have been putting together a Getting Started Guide to AI for my students (and interested readers) every few months, and each time, it requires major modifications. The last couple of months have been particularly insane.”

Link. Trump and abortion limited GOP gains.

Link. My Brooks Professional has a tear. It’s only 47 years old!

Link. He has multiple epiphyseal dysplasia. Great essay.

Link. “Anthropic’s new Claude 2 model is available to use online, and it has a 100k token context window and the ability to upload files to it”

Link. A great explainer.

Link. I used to think 2080. By which time I’d be long dead. I hope this turns out like autonomous vehicles or nuclear fusion; always 5y away.

Caveat: Anthropic has an effective altruism heritage.

Link. Putin’s purge is underway.

Link. Remote learning failed for many. Probably most.

Link. Maybe Biden is good at his job.
