Or even zcat -f /usr/bin/zcat

       -f --force
              If the input data is not in a format recognized by gzip, and if the option --stdout is also given,
              copy the input data without change to the standard output: let zcat behave as cat.

I don’t know why this isn’t the top comment. I guess there might be some scenario where you’d want to know about non-gzip files where you don’t expect them so changing the defaults would probably cause some subtle breakage. For shell use though, just an alias could be used; alias zcat=gzip -cdf

The full ten months of the year?

That’s the BBC criticising Apple for indiscriminately mangling all notifications with AI, like news headlines. The BBC could boycott the Apple platform, but that’s basically their only lever to stop Apple doing this besides asking nicely.

Well read the BBC article on this then: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cd0elzk24dno

It’s an iPhone ‘feature’ that summarises a bunch of notifications into one. It took a set of BBC headlines and turned them into “Luigi Mangione shoots himself…” They don’t list the article that was being summarised so I don’t know what the original headline was.

Already done of course

I didn’t recognise the ‘10 seconds of human consideration’ claim. I found this ProPublica report on it: How Cigna Saves Millions by Having Its Doctors Reject Claims Without Reading Them

There a former Cigna doctor says “It takes all of 10 seconds to do 50 at a time.” They claim to have seen documents for a two month period that put the average at 1.2 seconds per review. That’s using a specific review system that processed 300,000 claims over that period.

They don’t mention if there were other claims processed with different methods but still, the OP article seemed to be generous with that claim.

I don’t know what the “90%-error-rate AI” claim is about though. It’d be nice if the sources were actually cited.

Yeah, they’re a burgers & spies joint.

Too right. They wanted to show off the design of the Apple I so much, they didn’t even put a case around it. It’s all about the aesthetics with Woz.

I expect (hope) it’s a small factor, but I wonder where pedestrian fatalities fit in. Several of the worst models seem to be large SUVs or sports cars - alongside these Teslas and some rather cheaper compact cars.

Go to the actual report. There is one table for the top fatalities by vehicle model and another for the top average fatalities by manufacturer.

As a note, it looks like the data they used is publicly available from the NHTSA. They mention that “models not in production as of the 2024 model year, and low-volume models were removed from further analysis.” I wonder where the Hummer and Rivian show up there since they are not mentioned in the report whatsoever.

Yeah the Rolling Stone article is written really weirdly. I don’t think it’s technically wrong anywhere but it reads really misleadingly when you compare it to the actual report.

Like it leads with “the group identified the Tesla Model S and Tesla Model Y as two of the most dangerous cars” - meaning they are in the list - at sixth and twenty first places respectively. The mix is really weird though. As you mention the top of the list is cars like the Chevy Corvette and Porsche 911, but also things like the Mitsubishi Mirage and a load of Kia models. So it seems like there’s a lot to interpret there.

Certainly it’s somewhat damning that despite the driver assistant technology, these models are not particularly safer. But I think other manufactures have a wide range of vehicles at different price points that also vary in safety, which brings their averages below Tesla’s in the final rankings.

“abbabba”

“abbabba” doesn’t match the original regex but “abbaabba” does

You know the person who had the greatest positive impact on the environment on this planet? Genghis Khan, because he massacred forty million people.

Have you tried sfc /scannow?

They’re not converting it back into electricity, this is for industrial process heat. They have 100 units of electrical energy and 98 units go into whatever the industry needs to heat.

Lots of industries use ovens, kilns or furnaces. Mostly fueled by gas at the moment. Using electricity would be very expensive unless they can timeshift usage and get low spot prices. Since they need heat anyway, thermal storage is pretty cheap and efficient.

It’s heat though. They’re turning electricity into heat then moving that heat to where it’s needed, when it’s needed. Making heat from electricity is nearly 100% efficient, and pumping losses for moving fluids are going to be tiny compared to the the amount of heat they can move. They quote the heat loss in storage seperately as 1% per day. It seems reasonable.

I don’t think that was a malfunction…
That was ‘working as intended’.
