Battery can be replaced by going to the apple store and buying a new one which is cheaper than a new phone, so I agree with you on that.
Phone definitely last longer so 6 years sounds about right, as after that they tend to get obsolete.
I had no idea this was possible, but yeah, going to “battery health” in my Settings shows battery health is degraded, and provides a link to schedule a replacement.
Who's defending Imperial Japan? Nuance just means recognizing that actors on both sides were participants in the build up. I dislike the wholesale excusing of one sides actions because the other side was worse.
Given that Imperial Japan was so awful I'm wondering how far you would allow the U.S. to go? How about if the U.S. rounded up all Japanese Americans and put them in camps? Also completely okay, I guess, because Imperial Japan.
No country is blameless in war and the United States is no exception, but there is no reasonable comparison between the evil Japan committed in Asia and what the United States did to Japanese Americans.
> “AI still remains, I would argue, completely unproven. And fake it till you make it may work in Silicon Valley, but for the rest of us, I think once bitten twice shy may be more appropriate for AI,” he said. “If AI cannot be trusted…then AI is effectively, in my mind, useless.”
This quote is enough to dismiss the whole article.
“Unproven”, I don’t get how anyone can use LLMs and come away with this opinion. There is simply no better way to do a fuzzy search than by typing a vague prompt into an LLM.
I was trying to find a movie title the other day, only remembered it had Lime in the title and had a Jack-the-Ripper setting. ChatGPT found it easily. Sure you have to fact check the results, but there’s undeniable value there.
This is a bit of a tangent, but you mentioned removing an american flag from the podium in a church. This makes me think, we care about removing religion from government, but do we care about removing government from religion and places of worship? Protecting government from religious influence is an obvious win but does it matter if patriotism is in churches?
I'm interested if anyone has any more formed thoughts to share on this, because my initial reaction is that separating church out of state is what's very necessary and desirable, but separating state out of church probably doesn't really matter, does it?
On a legal basis I’m not sure, but on a theological basis many people find it very important to separate patriotism and allegiance to a particular government from theological beliefs, which is why many saw Trump’s Bible as heretical.
It’s also worth pointing out that rejecting state influence over religion is the original reason for the concept of separation of church and state, at least in America. It was was far from the norm at the time.

It makes for an excellent litmus test to ask, sometimes literally out loud, whether someone who advocates for the legislation of a specific religion's rules would be OK with being forced to comply with a different religion's rules and tenets.
A secondary litmus test is whether a person can even understand the reasoning behind the idea of the separation of church and state. Unfortunately, there are too many people who are either so willfully ignorant or just incredibly dim that they can't understand that it's hypocritical to want to do to others what they would not want done to themselves.
Sigh. At least these people are showing us exactly who they are.
Many of the people pushing for these new rules are Christian Nationalists, and explicitly reject the separation of church and state. Some pastors are getting in trouble with their congregation if they try to remove an American flag from the podium, for example. It also fits in neatly with the Trump Bible that he released recently, which included a copy of the constitution, pretty explicitly rejecting the Christian belief of not adding or removing anything to the Word of God.
But this hypocrisy has been a core part of American culture since its founding, check out the book Money Cult to trace the origins and see more about how church is essentially big business in many of these states.

I've always been baffled why those two got canned. They were both really useful.
Canceling Google Inbox was when I started to move off their platform, it was their best product in years and finally got a handle on email chaos, and then they just killed it with no follow up, insane.
