Zapping caches shouldn’t be a problem. Log files should be kept. Local configuration shouldn’t be mixed with system/default config.

I know what it means. Making up a meme word is not exposition.

“Degrading quality” is mostly in the eyes of the user. If Microsoft never changed anything in Github again they didn’t “degrade” it, but it will get called “enshittified” for not having dark mode or a Rust SDK or whatever it is that counts as “degraded quality” to some subset of users.

Calling advertising in free products “enshittification,” I think the most common use of the word, has a solution: pay for services you find valuable.
Their geofencing API seems to advertise tracking users. It seems to provide some kind of metadata storage alongside a geofencing API. My guess is that some websites are tracking their users though this API.

I haven't dug into it much further, but if their API is used for tracking, it should stay on the list.

Edit: looks like they provide a dashboard to follow the location history of any user using their API. Yeah, no, I'm adding this to my personal blacklist just in case.

'Both sides' is a core part of the authoritarian propaganda playbook.

Pretending that occasional manipulation in the information produced by Liberal democracies is somehow equivalent to the constant stream of lies autocracies produce, is part of how they stop their people wanting change.
The trouble is: shaken baby syndrome is real and well documented. Because the crime is so abhorrent, people strongly want to believe the diagnostic tools to be much more sensitive and accurate than they really seem to be.

It's the classic "N guilty men" problem, aka Blackstone's ratio: if you risk putting one innocent person in jail, how many guilty people you need to catch to make it morally justifiable? 5, 10? 100?

iOS was popular far before it was a dominant global business. It was probably one of the most popular software projects of all time even in its first version.

iPod and iTunes Store were probably more popular than any project ever built by hackers. Why haven’t hackers, who care about 99% of users, ever been able to make software those users care to use? What private API stands between hackers and epiphany?

I’m also now past the 128gb mark. I rarely go back through my old photos, and the more time that passes the less connection I feel scrolling through my library.

Occasionally I post to Instagram (with an accompanying caption), and I like going through that more because each post is highly curated and annotated with my feelings at the time. Not too dissimilar to a physical photo album. So even if you did that privately, it’s worth a go.

Other than that, I figure that one day I may want to look at them, eg when I no longer have any mobility. The cost is so low that it doesn’t make sense for me to delete photos.

Just plain old snobbery of disliking anything written in an "inferior" language.
I'm starting to see AI studies on the medical detection of child abuse, which unfortunately reproduce the same biases as the low-quality clinical data they are based on. An AI that would detect subdural and retinal hemorrhage without external signs of trauma with 99% accuracy would detect "child abuse with 99% accuracy" and would impress law enforcement and courts. However, it wouldn't be more reliable than an expert witness confidently asserting that these signs are almost always due to child abuse.
I think there was a paradigm that prevailed for about 10 years, let's say 2008-2018 - and this by no means applies only to Google - under which the mass violation of user privacy and personal data collection was not just passed off as, but actual believed to be, something that would benefit the product and the user (even if there was also money to be made on the side by selling that data on). It wasn't yet fully weaponized to the point where every service got shittier unless and even if they extracted more money every year. Somewhere along the line, the game went from cataloging the internet to providing email for everyone to blackmailing anyone who didn't want to partake of their offerings or follow their rules.

Absolute power corrupts absolutely. There's never been a case of a player with Google's degree of market leverage that hasn't become corrupted (or any government in a similar position, for that matter). It's not about handing out money. It's about having democratic checks in place to behead and dismember entities that do what Google has done. The vestiges of the US Govt and EU parliament are probably the last thing standing between info sector monstrosities and the end of free thought and speech in the world.

There is no government small enough to for the average ignoramus to "watch" or understand in any meaningful way and our population and indeed people at large are absolutely shockingly stupid and informed about little beyond their hobbies and professions.

Look at for instance medicine. Medicine is vastly too complicated for average folks to "watch" or understand. We don't simplify medicine or appoint more ignorant boobs to decide what drugs are useful in between episodes of survivor we have a professional system which qualifies experts and helps us select individuals who actually know things to produce guidelines, useful decisions, and regulation.

There is no difference between that and civil engineering or astronomy. Government isn't merely another discipline it is the coordination of a multitude of disciplines which the electorate are equally incompetent at.

A government an idiot who can't follow complex plots on TV shows can understand its functionally incapable of delivering a useful product to allow one to run a 23T GDP country of 338M people and its not a useful goal.
NZ has insane economies of scale and other efficiencies that mean it makes the cheapest lamb in the world. NZ lamb is usually cheaper than Welsh even in UK supermarkets.

> Should an enterprise created for profit consider other values than profit?

Enterprise is created to provide a beneficial service to the society/humanity/world. Profit is a means to sustain the people, who are working in the enterprise, and subsequently the enterprise. The problem starts when some smartass in power becomes greedy and turns an enterprise for service to people into an enterprise ONLY for profit.

A) No, but no one can tell that you’re a dog on the internet. Further, dogs do not dispense reliable medical advice. The op is a press release for a textbook covering this topic in what looks like excruciating detail from a wide variety of angles. I doubt a superior citation exists.

B) Beyond that, my understanding is that once a child is past the infant phase where they cannot support their own head, they’re fine. Humans are not all that delicate. Bumps and falls are inevitable, I don’t see how we would have seen success as a species if the risk were outsized. And I guess we’ve been around for a while by now.

C) TFA does mention this a little but it is split across a wide gap and is not the focus. I pulled the two quotes I think are relevant below.

> And yet, although subdural and retinal hemorrhage may be caused by non-accidental trauma, especially when impact is involved, they simply are not specific for it: indeed, it has been demonstrated that a wide range of accidental events and medical conditions are plausible alternative causes. Particularly fragile infants may sustain severe head injuries following minor household falls. Others may suffer from genetic conditions, metabolic disorders, blood clotting abnormalities, or infections.

> On the other hand, there exist dozens of documented cases of witness reports of shaking, videotaped shakings, and spontaneous admissions of shaking, but without subdural and retinal hemorrhage. In fact, there is virtually no known case of a reliably-documented event of violent shaking without impact of a healthy baby resulting in isolated subdural and retinal hemorrhage (additional markers of trauma would be expected in such cases). In contrast, there have been numerous cases of videotaped or witnessed short falls resulting in these very medical findings, considered “impossible” by the shaking hypothesis.

So it’s like they say: it’s not the fall that gets you, it’s when you land.

That's the biggest problem with Chromebooks (or at least was the last time I used one).

The thing becomes useless as soon as it stops getting updates, because your browser doesn't get new features and gets locked out of various parts of the internet as time matches on without you. On any other computer, you can keep the browser up to date long after the OS stops receiving patches.
So if Apple were Microsoft, they just wouldn't let Netscape in their app store in the first place.
I have an HP EliteBook 845 G8, with bottom vents for taking in air, that is then sent out the back towards the display hinge. It's also one of those uselessly thin laptops with a ridiculously small heatsink. It has a Ryzen 5650U (6-core zen3), no dedicated GPU.

99% of the time I can't hear the fan, even when it's around 25-26 ºC (78 F) in the room and I use it on my bed. The case is warm, especially towards the hinge (where the CPU is) but to uncomfortably so. The palm side, where the battery is, is usually rather cool to the touch. I do have the bios configured to have the fan on at all times when plugged in, so there's no heat build-up that requires a burst of fan speed to evacuate from time to time.

The other 1% it's probably attempting to lift off, but that only happens when compiling for a long time or using webex with video.

One difference with Lenovo and Dell, though I don't know how much it helps, is that the case is metal.
New Zealander here:

Mutton has a very strong flavour (much much stronger than lamb) and can often be very fatty, and few people eat it here: although I do have friends between 50 and 70 that like it, but they don't get it easily and maybe wouldn't buy it.

I remember eating mutton last century as a child - because it was a very cheap meat. Now it isn't sold in supermarkets in NZ - and I don't recall seeing it in any butchers lately. It is very uncommon. I absolutely loved mutton ham - but that is a very uncommon specialty item.

I have a mutton roast and mutton chops in the freezer - but they were from a local farmer.

The only regular mutton I can think of you might see is in the South Island - Jimmy's mutton pies (Roxburgh). Or maybe at a Hangi.

I saw a 20kg bucket of some very fatty meat at pak'n'save aimed at polynesians a year ago - but search came up with nothing so might not have been mutton. A quick search of mad butcher showed zero results for mutton.

My guess is that the processing costs are higher than what people would buy it for so it is uneconomical. Lamb is often reasonably cheap here in NZ.
Which is how Hollywood has always worked? You can’t do as much as move a light or push “Record” on a film set without being a union member.

The VFX industry has been an exception. But frankly the deteriorating working conditions, rampant outsourcing to semi-shady companies, and just the overall downwards spiral of the quality of VFX in Hollywood movies suggests that maybe it’s not a model to emulate.
I think the issue was in the old rules writers got paid very differently whether they created an original script vs working on an existing script.

The fear was, studio's would use AI to generate a garbage script then pay a writer far less to effectively completely rewrite it to make it usable.

That's clearly a bias on your end.

Factorio is no more of a problem-solving game than a first-person shooter is. There is a lot going on in a player's mind when playing FPS that may not be obvious, such as planning ahead, quick thinking and anticipating the opponents' movements. Those are also valuable skills that can be applied to many areas of life.

Take Overwatch for example. There are role-based characters that fill a specific function in the game that require thinking, planning, and experience. It is also a team sport that teaches life skills.

I do not see how automation can 'solve' that for you. It is not just purely finding the thing on the screen and clicking on it. They are not just solely twitch-based reactionary games.

As with anything in life, too much chess/Factorio/etc. can also be detrimental.

Balance is key.

All of them, GPU memory is fully virtualized in order if nothing else to easily support multiple applications running natively on it since GPUs aren’t used for display & rendering only anymore where multiple clients could be simply handled solely by the composer.

Most of the driver has also been moved into user space at least on Windows and MacOS I’m not fully versed in the state of the user vs kernel space display drivers on Linux these days.

For clarity applications that don’t know how to use virtual memory will still operate under segmented mode where they’ll access the physical memory directly however under Windows at least these days and for a while now even the segmented mode is emulated you’ll need to run your engine on bare metal completely to access physical memory directly via segment addressing.

You just have to trust you won't get any infection from that, so the whole 'manufacturing' chain has to be properly set up and supervised. Once you have that, you can eat raw meat. It's quite common in many places, here (in Europe) we eat steak tartare which is raw beef.

Meta pays £149M to ditch London office as staff work from home
I copy everything, cameras, phone, scans, to disk, organized by device. Some stuff gets organized, such as scans of old family photos, documents, faceplates, devices and so on. I have organized some in relation to the home and property should I sell.

Mainly, as I transfer from sd cards, photos get ranked (not tagged or renamed) and the best make it to a "gallery" folder, or an "illustration" folder for posting on the other aggregator site I use. Only two for me.

The phone photos are transferred in giant blobs, so they never get sorted. I won't host my photos outside the home because of the great internet copy machine and hacking plague. And so I have yet to find any desktop tech that will categorize photos even in the simplest way. iOS image search is insanely dumb and useless. It finds people, but the few other categories are not helpful to me and often hilariously wrong in identification.

I don't use Apple's photos app because in the past, it failed to do anything but create a giant album with phony virtual folders, and the underlying files were organized by date in a tree that made access to the actual files a fright. And with cryptic names.

So I organize, to the extent I do, in the simplest ways. A few categories, but otherwise, some big bags, and a "best" folder that I copy to the iPad Pro for showing off. No third party involved. Benefits not worth the perceived risk.
I'm not aware of anyone who wants to "prevent AI" - as incredibly ambiguous as that phrase is.

What I suppose some people worry about is stuff like:

1. That they will have some means of feeding themselves and their families going forward

2. That they won't be at the whim of increasingly totalitarian (and arbitrary) governments with increasing power

3. That they will continue to find human connection

4. That they won't be overwhelmed by lots of crap content

If someone _thinks_ there's a problem, there _is_ a problem: It's pretty tricky to talk people out of their fears. You can tell them to shut up, or you can address their fears and make them feel better about the future. That typically includes putting some checks and balances in place, as well as adjusting their expectations.

China started doing mass surveillance early on, they're probably better at the technologies involved than the average country. By your logic, other countries should stop whining about it and start doing the same (or more), to not be left behind. I don't think everyone needs to do the worst thing that's technically possible to do. Sometimes those things aren't even all that beneficial for the success of a country, which I'd measure in citizen satisfaction and safety from hostile countries ultimately.
I guess I don’t follow. Most problems involve humans and yet we solve problem after problem.
