Information has been permanently deleted, for small values of permanently

As part of a periodic purge of unused online accounts, I deleted my account from a company ten months ago. Let’s call that company Contoso. I received a confirmation that said, “Your personal information and items associated with your account have now been deleted. This action is permanent and cannot be reversed.” Yesterday, I got an email from Contoso informing me that they have updated their Privacy Policy. So I guess their “confirmation” of “permanent” and “irreversible” deletion of my pers

Applying to Jobs Has Become an AI-Powered Wasteland

If you’re one of millions of job seekers struggling to find stable employment, just know it’s probably not you. With the onslaught of so-called "generative AI" — Silicon Valley’s term for complex prediction algorithms that can be used to create new content based on vast amounts of material that they gathered without the permission of its creators — the job search has become a veritable gauntlet of fake job listings, automated application bots, and computer-generated interviews.

"A person is walking up the steps with a black dog" could tell you it's just the dog walker returning. Or, "Two people are peering into a white car in the driveway" could indicate it's time to call the fuzz.

Rex’s banner-crashing moment and transposes it

The Debrief: Power and energy

Yet in many ways right now the US seems to be forgetting those lessons. It is moving backward in terms of its clean-­energy strategy, especially when it comes to powering the grid, in ways that will affect the nation for decades to come—even as China and others are surging forward.

That growth, according to the US Energy Information Administration, is “coming from the
