Top Story
- Apple has file an appeal against the EU's latest half-billion-dollar fine for - and I quote - "having money the EU wants". (Hot Hardware)
Okay, so maybe I don't quote. But when it comes to a fight between communists pretending to be politicians and communists pretending to be capitalists, I'll side with the pretend capitalists unless they're also French.
Tech News
- Twitter has updated the chatbot Grok to be "less politically correct". (The Verge) (archive site)
Mostly it seems to be just as wrong but more argumentative.
- React is a fractal of caching with metastatic mutability. (Plotke)
What did you call me?
- What Microchip doesn't tell you about the VSC8512. (Serd.es)
A lot of things, apparently, but they don't matter unless you're trying to build a managed switch from scratch.

Okay, I actually trust the methodology of that AI use behavior study, but am also not sure that the metric they use represents a problem behavior. Beyond that, the object of the study, covid-19, may be garbage scholarship in the first place. Information war, panic, and then non-pulmonologists being set to running a bunch of vents, and perhaps killing a bunch of people via malpractice. If you bypass the pressure release safeties on a radiator, then heat it, it will either develop many tiny leaks, or explode. Vent malpractice would be like a bunch of tiny leaks.
