Apple Maps is going to let you store your locations and let you track yourself. Kinda like what Google does, but this is not done surreptitiously and is under your control. I'm not sure how useful this would be for me, but apparently some people like this feature.

Don't let a Soham Parekh fool you with a VPN. Anyway, that's the message. So VPN providers will need to make their services even more undetectable. ProtonVPN was supposed to have done that with their Stealth protocol, but it kept getting detected, and even they recommended their Smart protocol.

Can your brain run out of memory? Of course it can – it's not an infinite resource. Sherlock Holmes had an interesting theory of memory:
The brain is much like a datacenter, storing weights in GPU memory, instead documents or files in cloud storage like we do with other applications. The goal is to have as much capacity as possible, and be able to retrieve this knowledge easily. It is one thing to have a memory stored, and another to retrieve it. When you can't remember something and are given the answer, sometimes you recognize the answer as indeed correct, but at other times you might say to yourself that you completely forgot that fact. Retrieval is also key, and it's a mystery as to how the process is initiated and takes place.Now the skillful workman is very careful indeed as to what he takes into his brain-attic. He will have nothing but the tools which may help him in doing his work, but of these he has a large assortment, and all in the most perfect order. It is a mistake to think that that little room has elastic walls and can distend to any extent. Depend upon it there comes a time when for every addition of knowledge you forget something that you knew before. It is of the highest importance, therefore, not to have useless facts elbowing out the useful ones.
This guy writes about how he keeps up with AI developments, and lists a long list of blogs. It would be so time consuming to have to read everything. One must just try to read as much and as frequenty as possible, and check out HackerNews and Lobste.rs. Maybe Reddit, but that source has too much chaff and not enough wheat. Nothing worthwhile is easy.

O'Keefe Media Group catches Johnson & Johnson lead scientist admitting to scientific recklessness when it came to the COVID-19 vax. Science went out the window after 2020 and the public continues to suffer from this.

The Pearl District neighborhood is upset that a homeless shelter is being built there. I'm willing to bet that at least 90% of them are Democrats. And that they mostly support the stance that "if only the homeless had homes, the problem would be solved". Keith Wilson is now just fixated on a number – 1500, and he doesn't care if he destroys Portland in the process. Imagine evenly distributing toxic centers of crime, garbage, graffiti, and fentanyl folders scattered in every neighborhood of the city. Way to go, Keith. Burn it to the ground, won't you? The City of Beaverton is already seeing degradation because, thanks to TriMet, the criddlers won't stay in Portland. And Beaverton's mayor seems to be building more shelters to welcome them.
