spallas··on Charging a lithium battery to 80% only?
Most comments focus on consumer electronics where battery replacement is around $70-200. However the biggest impact is actually on EVs, where replacement costs are of much greater concern.

For large batteries supporting buildings or power plants, there's usually an optimization software that balances energy usage opportunity costs, and the amortized costs of battery degradation (personally built one in my previous job).

spallas··on Caravaggio Was the Other Michelangelo of the Renaissance
Michelangelo only had one real passion: sculpture. He was later asked to do the other works, like the Chapel, and if you notice it's clearly visible the "sculptor" style transfer to the paintings. That's not the case of Caravaggio.

A similar example is Neptune.ai, with one of their comparison posts ranking top for almost every query about any MLOps tool. It is very effective for visibility; even if the posts’ quality is poor and marketing is a little aggressive.

spallas··on AlgorithmWatch shuts down Instagram monitoring after threats from Facebook
All social platforms have one goal: keep you there, so you can see as much ads as possible. I seriously doubt that they sacrifice profit for who-knows-what conspiracy theory.
