To add your IMAP account to Outlook, we need to sync your mails to the Microsoft Cloud.
You what?
Since I didn't even ask to use Outlook, that seems like a no from me.
(The 'Learn more'-page says that this even applies to Gmail. You have the let Microsoft copy your whole Gmail inbox, all your mails, onto their servers.)
So I added only my Microsoft mail account, figuring that they are not a third party to that. The first thing this new Outlook does is show me an advert inserted at the top of my inbox. The old Windows Mail never did that.
Switched back for now. They say that in 2024 we can't switch back anymore and we need to use the new Outlook. Hoping it doesn't turn 2024 anytime soon.
My problem with Microsoft wanting a shadow copy of all your emails and run your accounts from their servers is this:
Your email box is one of the most sensitive things you have. It contains all information anybody needs to take over all your accounts anywhere, even take over your whole life. I pay my email provider to handle this securely, with competent people and with proper support channels. I don't pay Microsoft anything. And to provide this free service for me, they even need and keep all my email passwords. Where whoever can access them.

In-camera upscaling
This is such a depressing thing to hear. Why does everything get infected with AI?

Nice discussion here on #llm weaknesses with summarizing, something I rarely use them for but which I see as one popular use for academics. Argues they shorten rather than summarize with emphasis on volume rather than key points and we need to think of the influence of context (from the input) vs parameters (from the LLM training data).
This is also a nice setup for a student exercise: ask them to summarize an article themselves, test in various LLMs, and analyze.

When ChatGPT summarises, it actually does nothing of the kind.
One of the use cases I thought was reasonable to expect from ChatGPT and Friends (LLMs) was summarising. It turns out I was wrong. What ChatGPT isn’t summarising at all, it only looks like it…R&A IT Strategy & Architecture

Left-leaning media called for Biden to bow out because they wanted a better candidate. They're not going to worry about whether Trump should drop out because he's not their candidate.
Right-leaning media won't call for Trump to bow out because they've drunk the orange Kool-Aid. And they called for Biden to drop out because they wanted to make him look bad, and make it appear as if he had no support.

AI Uncertainty: A state of unease where real photographs all seem a little suspect since you have been fooled by or narrowly spotted an AI generated image.
A feeling of unreality and general distrust of everything. Can also apply to text, and the feeling that you are the only person ever to read it since it was generated.

That was a valiant fight back that went down the wire in the final set, but it wasn't to be. Next year I'm sure.
Some photos I found of her, from earlier matches. Also this match we saw her focus, and her smile, and it's so great to see both in the same person...

I made myself a new website for my photography. I couldn't get any CMS or website builder to structure the data the way it made sense to me so I made it from scratch. #BelieveInFilm

When eight-year-old Emma Glenfield wanted to know more about why magpies swoop at people, her teacher (Luke Carr) encouraged her to gather data and analyse it.
She noted that the birds seemed to target tall balding men, and created an online survey with the help of her mum. The survey went viral, with over 30,000 respondents.
The results, as shown in a brilliant Lego graph, demonstrated that the birds do target balding men more frequently (with less than 1% margin of error, thanks to the large sample size).
"According to magpie expert Darryl Jones, professor emeritus at Griffith University, it's the first time anyone has ever examined the link between magpie swooping and appearance."

The ABC article includes more details, along with this excellent Lego graph (and other great pictures).
