leoh··on Israeli settlers attack European diplomatic cars in West Bank beat French mayor
Well, you’re not aware of history then. Settlers suck, more needs to be done to manage them, there have been many interventions to deal with them over the years. Less so recently, hopefully that will change. There is an election in Israel next weekend.

No it doesn’t. There are literally dozens of news stories about this incident including ones from every major news outlet (BBC, NYT, Guardian, etc.)

leoh··on Early-life stress leaves a 'scar' inside brain cells in mice
"In mice" is the right caveat for outcomes and the wrong one for mechanisms. Nobody’s selling you a drug here--they’re describing a chromatin change, and that’s the part rodents are actually good for.

The alternative study design is randomizing infants to early-life stress and biopsying their hippocampi at 30. Committee’s still reviewing it.

leoh··on Apple says more ex-employees may have taken confidential data to OpenAI
This is such a disaster of Apple’s own making.

Apple is retarded in that they encourage their employees to use their personal iCloud credentials while working there and make it very difficult for employees to request a serrate work phone. It is tremendously idiotic from a security standpoint and is not the way virtually any other big firm does things.

As a Google employee I can’t imagine them compelling me to use a personal Gmail account for anything.

Moreover, although we can use personal Android devices, most orgs make it easy for employees to get a separate work phone. To the degree they allow personal android devices, this is only because Google has done significant work to allow for an isolated “work” profile with an entirely different email address / login. Because iPhone lacks this feature, corporate access on those devices is heavily curtailed.

I somehow doubt the Apple board has been made aware of these shenanigans and abhorrent security posture.
