Il segnale con il divieto di fumare in aereo non è obsoleto: serve sempre
Mone quote: "Sebbene il segnale possa sembrare superfluo a molte persone, le regole che impongono di mostrarlo – indipendentemente dal fatto che sia fisso o attivabile a comando – hanno diverse ragioni. Una di queste è che il simbolo è un promemoria efficace, che scoraggia dal proposito di fumare anche le persone che sanno benissimo che è vietato farlo a bordo degli aerei. E un’altra è che ogni anno milioni di persone, di paesi diversi e culture diverse tra loro, viaggiano in aereo per la prima volta e potrebbero non conoscere le restrizioni sul fumo."

Perché sugli aerei il segnale del divieto di fumare è del tipo che si può spegnere?
È una funzione superflua, visto che non ci sono momenti in cui si può fumare, ma dipende da come sono cambiati i regolamenti nel tempo

Insomma, com'è questa Apple Intelligence?
Money quote: "Of course, these updates represent only the first set of Apple Intelligence powered tools. The second wave, including Apple’s image-focused features, is already rolling out in developer betas, and are likely to arrive as public betas in the not too distant future. It’s probably fair to say that the features get more ambitious as they go; Apple was slow to ramp up its generative AI efforts, and this first set is more about table stakes than anything truly transformative.
The other big question is about how Apple Intelligence will improve over time. Rivals like OpenAI have made a point of regularly rolling out better models; it seems reasonable to assume Apple would do the same, though that the ultimately depends on how important they truly consider these features. So there is certainly every possibility that our results for these features are in the earliest of days. But just as you should never buy hardware based on the promise of future software updates, you should never trust software updates to improve software either: there’s always the chance that what you see now is what you get."

Usare Tinder per andare alle feste.
Money quote: "Prior to the party, I attempted to secure a platonic Tinder date. Using Tinder Platinum’s Passport feature—which the app provided for this story—I was able to browse Miami’s Tinder pool long before I arrived. I was also able to impart more rigid standards than regular users do, narrowing my options to include only those with a bio and indicating that my interest was only in friendship. If I wanted, I could have been even choosier, selecting for, among other things, zodiac signs, sleeping habits, and communication style. I was mainly hoping, though, to discover what Tinder had to offer on its own, freed from my preordained constraints."

Tizio scrive libro per dire: il buddhismo ha ragione.
Money quote: "I buddhisti occidentali avevano capito ancora prima di vedere Matrix che il mondo da loro conosciuto era una sorta di illusione: non un’allucinazione vera e propria, ma una versione deformata della realtà che, a sua volta, deformava il loro approccio alla vita, con conseguenze negative per loro e per le persone che li circondavano. Grazie alla meditazione e alla filosofia buddhista, invece, avevano l’impressione di vedere le cose con più chiarezza. Matrix sembrava un’allegoria perfetta per il cambio di prospettiva che avevano attraversato, e divenne ai loro occhi un «film dharma». La parola dharma ha diversi significati, che comprendono gli insegnamenti del Buddha e il percorso che i buddhisti dovrebbero seguire per metterli in atto. Dopo Matrix, invece di «seguo il dharma», si cominciò a dire: «Ho preso la pillola rossa»."

Stanno spendendo di più per le AI che non per la fame nel mondo, la pace e per salvare l'ambiente. La speranza è che l'AI permetta di risolvere il problema della fame nel mondo, della pace e salvi l'ambiente, ovviamente.
Money quote: "The capital expenditures of the four largest internet and software companies — Amazon.com Inc., Microsoft Corp., Meta Platforms Inc. and Alphabet Inc. — are set to total well over $200 billion this year, a record sum for the profligate collective. Executives from each company warned investors this week that their splurge will continue next year, or even ramp up.
The spree underscores the extreme costs and resources consumed from the worldwide boom in AI ignited by the arrival of ChatGPT. Tech giants are racing to secure the scarce high-end chips and build the sprawling data centers the technology demands. To do so, the companies have cut deals with energy providers to power these facilities, even reviving a notorious nuclear plant."

Il sapore delle razioni militari. Una breve storia di come il cibo ha cambiato gusto a causa delle gavette dei militari durante la Seconda guerra mondiale. Prospettiva americana ma poi ci riguarda tutti anche in Europa. Fa parte di una serie di articoli decisamente interessanti.
Money quote: "World War II brought several changes to what and how we eat. For example, members of the military traveled the globe during World War II, encountering different cuisines. When they returned, they brought back memories of those dishes. French, Italian, and Chinese food soon became popular in America beyond immigrant neighborhoods like Chinatowns and Little Italys.[1]
Other changes were spurred by foods included in military rations and food produced using technologies developed during the war. There are also recipes born from rationing and Victory gardens that “stuck.”"

Perché gli Usa sono contro l'ambiente? Ha a che fare con i coloni e il modo con il quale i figli degli europei vedono la natura: un bene da conquistare.
Money quote: "For many Indigenous peoples, gathering firewood is central to their livelihoods, identities, and survival. On some parts of tribal lands in the U.S. Four Corners region—where present-day Utah, Colorado, Arizona, and New Mexico meet—around 90 percent of people surveyed depend on wood harvested from nearby forests for ceremonial use, to generate household energy, and for building materials. Many Diné people, for example, live in remote areas where basic utilities, including clean water and electricity, are inaccessible. In addition to providing needed heat, wood-hauling practices are an essential part of cultural identity.
However, Indigenous practices do not always fit neatly with U.S. conservation techniques because of the settler-colonial values that underpin environmental and land management policies. These values rest on the belief that humans are apart from natural systems rather than a part of these systems, creating tensions for federal land managers and residents."

Praticamente, per via della legge sul copyright americana non era possibile riparare le macchine che fanno il gelato nei negozi McDonald. Adesso si può, ed è una grande vittoria per il movimento Right to Repair.
Money quote: "We’ve been fighting for years to challenge the digital locks that manufacturers like Taylor (which makes McDonald’s ice cream machines) use to keep repair information out of reach, forcing expensive service calls for simple fixes. Digital locks blocking repair come from an archaic 1998 copyright law, and every three years, we get a chance to ask the Copyright Office to give us exemptions to that law. Last time, we won exemptions for basically all consumer equipment, vehicles, and medical devices. The time before that, we won smartphones and home appliances. This time, the FTC and DOJ even weighed in to support our petition."

Di cosa parliamo quando parliamo di colonizzare Marte. Ci sono modi di pensare le cose legati alle parole che usiamo, ma in realtà le opzioni sono di più.
Money quote: "First cognitive bias on the chopping blog: the word "colony" usually implies a self-sufficient settlement, that can "live off the land" and reproduce almost anything the humans living there need, including more human workers raised from infancy. We don't, for example, talk of McMurdo Station in Antarctica as a colony even though it has a population of up to 1500 people at different times of year because it's entirely resupplied from other land masses and nobody is born there (and hopefully nobody dies there either). McMurdo Station doesn't have kindergartens, schools, universities, retirement homes, farms, factories, and a resident political apparatus to set policy."

Una delle fisime ricorrenti di chi scrive è con che cosa scrivere. Lo strumento perfetto, che alle volte diventa lo strumento a cui siamo abituati e non vogliamo cambiare a prescindere dal suo valore (Georges Simenon usava sempre la stessa marca di matite copiative, per dire) e altre volte diventa quello che ci toglie le distrazioni presenti oggi nei computer (i social eccetera). C'è chi usa addirittura le macchine per scrivere, perché quelel non hanno i social dentro. Ora, ho scoperto che c'è anche tutta una nicchia che adora un tipo particolare di macchine elettroniche giapponesi, le tastiere-computer Pomera. Sono delle soluzioni di scrittura elettronica e presa di promemoria dedicate e senza distrazioni. In Giappone, questi apparecchi sono comprati da scrittori, giornalisti, traduttori e anche da chiunque scriva molto nelle riunioni. Perché in Giappone si scrive molto nelle riunioni.

L'arrivo dell'intelligenza artificiale negli ultimi anni ha colto tutti di sorpresa, nonostante il settore sia nato negli anni Cinquanta e la tecnologia avesse fatto già grandi progressi negli anni Ottanta. Ecco una spiegazione di come è andata a questo giro.
Money quote: "So the AI boom of the last 12 years was made possible by three visionaries who pursued unorthodox ideas in the face of widespread criticism. One was Geoffrey Hinton, a University of Toronto computer scientist who spent decades promoting neural networks despite near-universal skepticism. The second was Jensen Huang, the CEO of Nvidia, who recognized early that GPUs could be useful for more than just graphics.
The third was Fei-Fei Li. She created an image dataset that seemed ludicrously large to most of her colleagues. But it turned out to be essential for demonstrating the potential of neural networks trained on GPUs."
