It’s silly that everyone is making such a fuss over AI. First, it isn’t even “AI”! Second, it’s only a problem if people just uncritically believe everything a model says at face value. If that were the ca…oh wait…yeah, we’re doomed.

1980 was a great year for releasing a punk rock long player

16 releases, all of which have cult status

Do you have a favorite or is your favorite LP missing?

I see a bunch of people talking about testing web sites on less-than-ideal networks. If you're developing/testing on macOS and don't want to take a trip to Antarctica to test, download, "Additional Tools for Xcode..." from the Apple developer site, which contains the Network Link Conditioner pref pane. This will allow you to simulate poor network conditions (like slow, and/or lossy). Don't get caught by surprise: test your sites!

While Flash was a battery killer and security mess, I still have to say: that was a great era of the internet. Flash was fun. People did cool, surprising things with it. Strongbad! Queer Duck! Hard Drinkin Lincoln! Games! Non-flash sites at the time also generally “just worked” and ads weren’t popping up over everything you were trying to read.

I have an even better idea: stop the cruelty altogether.

If you don’t think climate change affects you, there’s a general ground-stoppage at NY airports because it’s too hot to fly into, canceling flights. Get ready for more of that all around.

I’ve seen a lot of griping that Apple kept such a strong focus on environmental impact during their event yesterday. On the contrary: it’s really important, and I wish more companies paid attention to this and reported on their actions.

Here’s a general security/privacy rule for all of your services: don’t sign into anything that acts as a proxy for the real service that you use. Messaging services, email, banking, whatever.

Hey retro computing people: I have an Apple 13” color monitor. What’s the best way to drive this with something “modern”, like a RPi? Basically, drive it with a non-retro-Mac.

Here’s to you and yours having a fantastic 2024 (whatever that means for you).

I ran across a stat (that was at least a year old, apparently) which said that 500 hours of video are uploaded to YouTube every minute.

There must be several hard drive factories that have rail lines that deliver directly to YouTube's server farms or something.

Some rough not-very-researched calculations suggest that's ~10TB per minute at 4K (which it probably isn't, but YouTube also stores multiple copies of each video at different resolutions and then replicates them across their cloud).

Ah? Recall is a dumb idea but this isn't a Recall problem. Every time you exchange data with third parties your data is at risk. Your data is as secure as the Least Common Security of all parties. It's irrelevant if you set messages delete if the other party or parties are screenshooting every message you securely exchange with them. Recall fundamental problem is the full timeline, not just any data at rest that already existed and can be exfilled by an attacker.
