Apple does run software for detecting CSAM on pictures users store to the cloud.

That's to ensure Apple compliance, not user compliance.

On: Spaced repetition for efficient learning (2019)

Well the simplest thing would be to have test/benchmarks you do at the start and end of each “chapter” (however you define that).

You fail miserably at the test at the start of each chapter, and crush it at the end.

The difficult part is deciding how the tests are spread out.

I love that idea. Thanks. I'm going to try to implement that!

On: Lithium vs. Lettuce

[SteveMqz]

They’ve been saying this for years. Every few months you’ll see an article about IV having the biggest store of lithium in the US, but nothing ever comes of it.

That's because lithium is not that rare and hard to get. It's now around $10 per kg ( https://www.dailymetalprice.com/metalpricecharts.php?c=li&u=... ). There was a brief spike due to supply chain snags a couple of years ago, coinciding with tons of these announcements.

And a 100kWh Li-Ion battery (~$14000) needs just about 10 kg of lithium (~$100).

On: Perverse incentives of vibe coding

[SteveMqz]

The study the article cited is specifically about when asking the LLMs about misinformation. I think on coding tasks and such shorter answers are usually more accurate.
