Windows 12 Reportedly Set for Release This Year as a Fully Modular, Subscription-Based, AI-Focused OS. I don't use Windows, but if I did, I'd be looking at switching to Mac or Linux. Having AI always on is a sure way of enabling inadvertent privacy and security breaches.

A history of CSS. CSS used to be simple and made sense. Now it has become really un-intuitive to work with, and the syntax is inconsistent. Like sometimes you use "middle" but at other times it's "center". There's a darn good reason why people struggle with something as simple as "centering a div".

"Baby brain" is a cliche long-used to describe women becoming forgetful and feeling less capable during pregnancy. "Grey matter - the nerve-rich part of the brain involved in processing information, emotions and empathy - decreases by an average of nearly 5% during pregnancy."
While the pregnant women lost an average of nearly 5% of their grey matter, it then partially returned - although not fully - by six months after giving birth. In contrast, the amount of grey matter in the women who were not pregnant stayed quite steady.I've definitely noticed that mothers have a different personality than childless women. Maybe this is why women are more at risk of developing dementia later on.
Ron Wyden is right but for the wrong reason. He's in favor of retaining Section 230 protections for companies like Meta and X. But it's not so that Trump can censor critics. You'd think he would remember that Trump was a victim of censorship himself. Section 230 makes it possible for smaller sites, like blogs and Discord, and Mastodon to exist and not have to fend off numerous lawsuits. Twitter and Meta used to censor all the time. So retaining Section 230 doesn't protect us from censorship. The author of this article also thinks that Trump would "wage open war on free expression—retaliating against media companies, threatening platforms, unleashing threats from federal agencies on critics". Puh-leeze. The media has been doing that to conservatives for a long time. They always seem to forget these things.

We need to free science from the tyranny of the academic press. I always though it was kinda evil.
Apple just announced the Macbook Neo. But judging from the website images, this computer is targeted to women.

1.5 Million Users Leave ChatGPT. If You Cancel, Make Sure You Do This First. It seems people don't like it that Sam Altman is working with the Pentagon. But so is Meta and Google. Oh well, before you leave, there are some things you might want to do.

Google faces lawsuit after Gemini chatbot allegedly instructed man to kill himself. I don't know if you've ever experimented with this, but having your chatbot speak to you, instead of just typing things on a screen, really adds to the realism. It's a whole new experience. I can understand how this guy got taken. Perhaps public chat should use a neutral computer voice for now. Some people aren't ready for that kind of realism.

The Death of a Portland Clinic. Family Medical Group had to shut down. After being bought out by Optum. This is a sad trend in medicine and not going away any time soon, thanks to changes brought about by the ACA. It's no longer feasible, in many cases, for a physician group to own a clinic anymore. Sadly, the public is unaware of this.

New York Could Prohibit Chatbot Advice on Medical, Legal, and Engineering Questions. Well, this might kill of some AI startups and also restrict access by LLM providers. Who wants to take on the risk? This is a terrible law, and will deprive professionals of powerful tools that could make their job easier. Stupid.
