こういうの、別に遊びなら全然構わんと思うんだけど、インフルエンサーなお医者さんが何の注釈もなくSNSで、「AI使って数学の未解決問題解いたった」とか言い出すとさすがに不安になるぜ…

I was wondering when a reporter would uncover this.

So BitLocker is super secure, right? Well... BitLocker recovery keys are backed up to Microsoft's Cloud - and they give them out to law enforcement on request. Using the BitLocker recovery key, you can just unlock the device without a PIN etc.

Some things push my buttons and this is close to the top of the list. Describing it as an epidemic is so emotive and, please do correct me if I'm wrong or have missed it, but I've seen zero acknowledgement that (for example) in my lifetime alone, there has been a 91% increase of the population of the world.

The science also reflects no evidence of an “autism epidemic” in the biological sense and that "Most experts attribute the rise to diagnostic criteria changes, broader definitions, increased awareness, and better detection rather than a true underlying spike in cases."

This only serves as a dogwhistle to target benefits for the most vulnerable and continue to divide communities by dead-catting. It makes me very very cross indeed. Which ironically is not lost on me is sort of the point.

It is immensely disappointing that the European Parliament manages to defend and support former Commissioner , a wealthy, privileged old man who's addressbook is full of powerful friends.

While it not even mentions in passing (let alone defends) the cash-strapped organisations @hateaid and who have been attacked by in exactly the same way but with zero government support.

이승환의 어떻게 사랑이 그래요 (2006년 정규 9집 《Hwantastic》 타이틀곡)는 실제 감동적인 실화를 모티브로 만들어진 곡이에요.

이승환이 직접 밝힌 바에 따르면, 2006년 5월경 개인적으로 매우 힘든 시기 (이혼 등 어려운 상황)를 겪고 있을 때 우연히 MBC에서 방영된 《휴먼다큐 사랑》 '너는 내 운명' 편을 보고 큰 충격과 감동을 받아 이 곡을 작곡하게 되었다고 해요.

특히 이 다큐멘터리는
젊은 여성(서영란 씨)이 간암 말기 진단을 받고
남편(정창원 씨)과 극적으로 짧은 시간 동안 깊은 사랑을 나누다 세상을 떠난
실제 이야기를 다룬 내용이었는데,
죽음조차 갈라놓지 못한 그 사랑과 헌신적인 모습에 이승환이 깊이 공감하며 눈물을 흘렸다고 합니다.

At the opening ceremony for Donald Trump’s so-called Board of Peace in Davos, Jared Kushner unveiled glossy images of his vision for a “new Gaza”: shining apartment towers, luxury developments, and sweeping views of the Mediterranean. There were no Palestinians at the ceremony—and none on the Board of Peace itself. In Kushner’s fantasy, Palestinians appear only as an absence, buried beneath the rubble of the real Gaza.

"Kushner touted the White House’s goal of applying “free market economy principles” to the razing and redevelopment of Gaza. He also expressed a desire to replace the humanitarian aid system for Palestinians in the region using those principles."

Palestinians have strongly condemned the plan.

Have you ever seen a pink grasshopper? Though the meadow grasshopper (Chorthippus parallelus) is typically distinguished by its green and brown coloration, a genetic mutation called erythrism leaves some individuals looking pretty in pink! Erythrism is the overproduction of red pigment. While these rare insects are beautiful to look at, pink grasshoppers are hindered by their vivid coloring because it makes hiding from predators much more difficult.

So I was looking at the Creator Studio icons again—don't ask why—and suddenly I noticed something. But no. Surely it couldn't be.

But it is. The Keynote icon went from a six-part pie chart to a two-part pie chart, and they managed to off-center the chart's centerline in the process. 🙃

It's a good thing quality design and attention to detail aren't Apple's entire brand, or this might be kind of embarrassing.

The Keynote 14.4 icon is open in Pixelmator. Guidelines have been added showing the horizontal and vertical centerlines of the image. The vertical guideline cuts directly through the center of the pie chart on the lectern, pixel-perfect.A screenshot of the Creator Studio Keynote icon is open in Pixelmator. Guidelines have been added showing the horizontal and vertical centerlines of the image. The vertical guideline cuts noticeably to the left of the centerline of the pie chart, emphasizing the fact that no effort whatsoever was made to make it look like a real, functional pie chart that actually represented something.

While I'm here, can we just look at the Keynote icons for a second?

The oldest is clearly a lectern. The ionic column feels a bit weird, but you can easily imagine an object like this existing, and an image search for "wooden lectern" turns up some similar-ish real-world things.

The second is also clearly a lectern. Much more modern, perspective and proportions a bit off, and it's stuck in a blue squircle void, but again: real-ish.

The third is… a holographic blue cafeteria table? IDEK.

All three Keynote icons side by side.An image showing a real traditional-looking wooden lectern featuring a kind of column, although not exactly like the one rendered in the old icon.An image showing a clear-plastic-topped lectern with a round metal base and metal support, standing next to a similarly-styled table. Again, it doesn't exactly match the lectern shown in the second lectern, but it's clearly similar and actually exists.An image of the newest Keynote icon cropped to stand on its own and with the note "???" added in Helvetica just above the icon, as if to convey "how would one even do an image search for a holographic blue nightmare cafeteria table like this?".

Though it may look like a close relative of rabbits or mice, the bush hyrax (Heterohyrax brucei) is actually more closely related to manatees and elephants! All three animals are members of the clade Paenungulata. And just as in elephants, the hyrax’s front incisors grow continuously to form tusks. Unlike its larger cousins, this small mammal only weighs about 10 lbs (4.5 kg).

 It inhabits rocky areas, and can be found in parts of Africa including Egypt and Angola.
