Apple announces a multi-year deal to use Google's Gemini to power new Siri features later in 2026, saying Google's tech "provides the most capable foundation" (CNBC)
https://www.cnbc.com/2026/01/12/apple-google-ai-siri-gemini.html

Apple picks Google's Gemini to run AI-powered Siri coming this year
Google's market value surpassed Apple for the first time since 2019 last week and topped $4 trillion on the news.

Honestly, I’ve been expecting the “mission accomplished” banner since the day they murdered Alex Pretti. Maybe they were hoping for an ICE officer to be shot in retaliation so they could go for martial law, but a few days later when that hadn’t happened and the country was still seething, the writing was on the wall.

If humans keep heating the planet with greenhouse gases, the climate swing could lock Earth into a hothouse trajectory, as parts of the system feed on their own momentum, even if emissions are reduced later.

The next-generation version of Siri is expected to be introduced with iOS 26.4,

Qin Shi Huang, the first emperor of China, burned the books and had scholars killed as he tightened his grip on the former warring kingdoms and set out to restart history with himself as the prime creator. Thousands of years later, Saloth Sâr, a Cambodian schoolteacher, renamed himself Pol Pot and declared a new "Year Zero" as he began murdering everyone with an education (or even wearing eyeglasses). Destroying the past isn't just a literary device from Orwell. It's how t…

When you cite a thinker to legitimize fascism and then discover his intellectual crush ended up being Lenin instead.
#Fascism #Syndicalism #Meme

Roman elites drank from leaded cups because it made water sweeter. Radiation was thought at one time to have healing properties, so people would add uranium to their drinking water. Glowing dishes are still a collectors item. After the discovery of x-rays, shoe stores started installing them and using them on kids feet to size shoes. Lead was added to gasoline to improve engine performance, and paint to make it whiter. We all know about asbestos and DDT.
We look back at all of this and think, "how could people have been so incompetent back then?" Some of these things caused irreparable harm in their generation, some continue to cause harm today almost 100 years later.
If you wonder that, look at the whole #LLM thing and you have your answer.

I'm using #git subtree for the first time in a real setting. It feels nicer than git submodules, because you can just commit and everything downstream is included.

Met veel meer samples van week 52. Wellicht was BA.3.2. tegen de jaarwisseling al dominant? Dat zou wel de stijging van afgelopen woensdag verklaren.

When asking someone to do something it's important to be clear about everything you are asking them to do, and when you are asking them to do it, up front.
Increasingly I'm asked to do something, I look at my schedule and other commitments and agree to the ask, and then weeks later am informed that "as part of X (what I agreed to) everyone is expected to do Y (something time consuming that wasn't mentioned before)" or "we need you to provide X (something necessary the day of the event) a week in advance (when there was no indication of this early deadline at the initial ask)".
This means that the calculations someone made regarding whether they could participate are based an incomplete understanding of what is required. That's not fair and it either results in forcing the participant to deprioritize something else or makes them push back on something they never agreed to and potentially withdraw.

"Voyager 1 was launched the day after I celebrated my 4th birthday. I watched Cosmos on Canal 13 when I was in 1st grade. I saw Voyager 2’s pictures of Uranus in the pages of the Argentine edition of the "Muy Interesante" magazine as I was heading towards high school. Years later, I read Sagan’s "Dragons of Eden" and "Pale Blue Dot" books while studying physics in college. Carl Sagan passed away shortly before I began a career in software."

Carl Sagan
The news of a software patch uploaded to the Voyager probes reminded me of a 1980 book telling precisely the story of how their journey began 46 years ago. When said book hit the publishing press, Voyager 1 had just finished its flyby of Saturn, a planet which Voyager 2 was about to survey a few months later. Assisted by gravity slingshots, the latter probe would reach Uranus in 1986 and Neptune in 1989. Both Voyagers would cross the Heliopause decades later, one in 2012, and the other in 2018.…
