Just published: Apple Health + ChatGPT: The Privacy Tradeoff.

OpenAIโ€™s new ChatGPT Health feature can connect to Apple Health (and even medical records). The convenience is real, but so is the expanded attack surface. With healthcare breaches hitting millions of records, my blunt take is: if you care about privacy, donโ€™t use it. Full stop.

If you do use it anyway, I break down what โ€œnot used for trainingโ€ does and doesnโ€™t mean, why HIPAA isnโ€™t a force field here, and the practical steps to reduce your blast radius.

โš ๏ธ Confirmed: Telemetry indicate a major disruption to networks in Belgorod, western , after Ukraine targets the region's energy installations with missiles; initial analysis suggests one of the most effective infrastructure strikes by Ukraine since the start of the war

Graph from NetBlocks showing network connectivity by region in Russia from January 1, 2025, to January 8, 2025. The y-axis represents normalized connectivity, ranging from 0% to 100%, and the x-axis represents the dates. The graph indicates ongoing connectivity disruptions in Belgorod Oblast starting on the evening of January 8. The drop in connectivity aligns with power cuts due to missile attacks from Ukraine. The chart has a dark background with seven red circles highlighting the decline at the end of the period and connectivity lines for each city are color-coded. Gubkin, Belgorod Oblast (43% / 43%), Shebekino, Belgorod Oblast (48% / 48%), Golubino, Belgorod Oblast (48% / 48%), Belgorod, Belgorod Oblast (48% / 48%), Bekhteyevka, Belgorod Oblast (57% / 57%), Otradnyy, Belgorod Oblast (62% / 62%), Stary Oskol, Belgorod Oblast (85% / 85%)

People who are extensive LLM users and proponents. Do you *know* that LLMs are inherently unethical and unsustainable to use, or do you know and don't care because you think the benefits outweigh the ethical concerns? If you know, what do you tell yourself to feel better about it?

Every natural number is the sum of forty-nine palindromes
Article by William D. Banks
In collections: Fun maths facts, Integerology
It is shown that the set of decimal palindromes is an additive basis for the natural numbers. Specifically, we prove that every natural number can be expressed as the sum of forty-nine (possibly zero) decimal palindromes.

I'm here upgrading several FreeBSD VPS instances and it's

# freebsd-update fetch # prepare to get up to date on current version
# freebsd-update install # get up to date on current version
# freebsd-update upgrade -r $VERSION # fetch new version
# freebsd-update install # install new version
# shutdown -r now
# freebsd-update install # install userland
# pkg update && pkg upgrade -f # upgrade packages
# freebsd-update install # why not?
# shutdown -r now # another reboot

Because of the full-disk encryption, I need to do this from the VPS control-panel VNC connection.

It makes me appreciate my OpenBSD upgrades where it's a straightforward

# sysupgrade
(it auto-reboots, installs, auto-reboots into the new system)
# pkg_add -u
# sysmerge

and done.
