A 10-year-old CNN outperforms frontier LLMs for skin cancer diagnosis
I am a dermatologist. I tested the ability of GPT-6 Astra and Claude Fable 5.1 to diagnosis skin cancer and found that they were less accurate than I expected. I compared to a 10-year old CNN and to my surprise found that this was superior.

EVEN IF generative AI... had guardrails against abuse (it doesn't) was good for the environment (it's not) and was accurate all the time (not even close) it was still created by scraping billions of works of creative labour without consent, compensation, or even notification.
Every time a works-out-of-the-box Linux distro does something I didn't tell it to do or I find it running background stuff that I don't need, it's one step towards going full-Gentoo.

Sunday nothingburger for you: iPhone 18 Pro Max has a "Prepare to Ship" feature which intentionally discharges the 20 Wh battery. /usr/libexec/BatteryDischargeService handles this by calling [[NSProcessInfo processInfo] activeProcessorCount] and spawning that many NSThreads that spin until stopped
