All electrical infrastructure needs copper to function, and we’re running out of easy-to-access copper. McKinskey predicts the world will need 37 million tonnes by 2031. Microbes that can recover copper from complex ores might be the answer. https://spectrum.ieee.org/ai-copper?utm_source=mastodon&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=fedica-Mastodon-Daily-Pipeline
Today’s a great day to GTFO substack.
Did macOS change app-termination behavior at some point? Or is it a SwiftUI lifecycle thing?
I have an app that has NSSupportsAutomaticTermination and NSSupportsSuddenTermination set to NO, but it's still quitting after the last window closes. Disabling it via ProcessInfo also doesn't seem to work

sigh. I was really hype about the MNT Reform Next, and then I looked at the processor it uses and big oof. It's not even m1-level capable? For something getting released in 2026? That's rough.

갑자기 생각난 건데... 보통 게임에서는 아이템에 몸이 닿기만 해도 획득할 수 있게 하는 경우가 많은데 이런 현실에서 보기 드문 비눗방울같은 물성에 익숙한 사람들은 세상을 바라보는 시선이 뭔가 달라질지 궁금해졌다
So, you may have seen that viral screenshot of Copilot in Excel summing 1, 2, 3 as 15. I am pretty sure it is faked.
I am a certified shoving-AI-in-our-things hater. I am also a librarian who, for my sins, uses Excel regularly. I shall lay out my proposal below. I will then mute this thread because I don't want to engage with AI boosters or anyone questioning whether I'm secretly a copilot lover (barf)
The claim:
집단학살에 눈감은 서울대 이스라엘교육연구센터 - ‘혁신·다문화국가 이스라엘’을 본받자? ⇢ snujn.com/72410 이스라엘교육연구센터 설립계획안은 ‘이스라엘은 다양한 지역과 국가로부터 이주해 온 유대인들과 기존 거주민인 팔레스타인 민족들로 구성된 다문화 사회’라며, 이스라엘의 다문화·평화 교육을 배워야 한다고 주장한다.
사실 언어모델 처음 접했을때가 판데믹 몇년전이었는데 그때만 해도 프롬프팅이라는 개념이 없었음 언어모델을 사용하는것 자체가 좀 어려웠는데 더 이전으로 가면 이미지와 텍스트셋을 같이 훈련시키니까 이미지 설명을 텍스트로 알아서 잘하더라 이것도 엄청 신기했고 상당히 수작업이 많았는데 ... 정신차려보니 여기까지 와있고... 알수없도다

I think we’re one or two usb charger/battery pack generations away from having one with app support. Current models have screens and super complex charging power matrices. App with port power control has to be next.
What can you take away from this into your everyday life?
Well, know that "community-specific strengths" exist that are not designed for or captured in conventional measures, and cognitive assessments are not "context free." Social context influences how children engage with EF, and we should be very wary of explaining group differences in terms of cognition when the real explanation might be the instruments themselves.
I firmly believe that it's very dangerous for us in tech to take slippery, referential, stale models from half-remembered cognitive science 101 courses and make them the basis for hiring, evaluation, or theories of attention, focus and problem-solving in diverse populations.
Demo vor CDU-Parteizentrale: Demonstrantinnen kritisieren Merz
Die "Stadtbild"-Äußerungen des Kanzlers rufen weiter Kritik hervor. Vor der CDU-Parteizentrale protestierten mehrere Tausend - wie sie sich selbst nannten - "Töchter". Auf jene hatte Merz in einer Erklärung verwiesen.
@hikingdudeFranz Graf Excellent!
I’m trying the same at work, but progress is a bit slow.
@slothropRocketman
Right, but everyone of us is a role model and influencer. Whether we want it or not.
Just keep going, some people will be grateful but will hardly express it. Just enjoy the feeling of doing the right thing.
One thing I learned from our female IT-specialists is how offensive the term "man days" is.
Recently there was a discussion (all men) about efforts and "man days". I just said "It's Person Days - there are quite a couple of women in the team as well."
Short silence, bit surprised looks.
"Sure"
Continued in "Person Days"
Sometimes it doesn't take a lot to change language to the better. Just do it.
