Umbrias,

To play devils advocate, talents are things you develop with practice, if you have conditions which prevent you from developing those compared to people without those conditions and which you would like to be able to do, reasonably this is an ada accommodation.

This is a fairly well recognized accommodation to boot.

Umbrias, (edited )

Unaccountable armchair ‘scientists’ on hexbear no less. Lol.

Also once you finally get to someone discussing the content of the paper the entire tone about plausibility changes.

Umbrias,

Sometimes relaxing regulatory measures leads to people following them better, as they better match the intent of the regulation rather than being seen as absurd. It also lowers the ‘benefit’ of deviancy from that regulation.

Sometimes you’re right, you regulate more extremely than the intent because people will follow it better, or it makes it easier to enforce.

The point is there’s not a one size fits all.

Cybertruck Deliveries Halted Due To Car Being A Big Piece Of Shit That Doesn't Work (defector.com)

Tesla, a future case study for securities law classes across America, had to stop delivering Cybertrucks this past weekend. No, not because the hundred-thousand–dollar medium-duty pickup, which is only any of those things in the loosest interpretive sense, tends to brick when it gets rained on; nor because its stainless steel...

Umbrias,

Back in the day people just called that “making fun of” or “ridicule”. It’s not trying to be journalism, it’s trying to be flippant and chaudenfreudic.

Umbrias,

Important to differentiate in context learning and training.

Umbrias,

Excellent summary, doomers are very susceptible to shilling and morbidity clickbait, so it’s nice to see pushback. It’s a great time to be optimistic about both the climate and (the continuing and necessary) potential future action on it.

Umbrias,

The point is that game developers don’t get royalties the same way say, book writers do, not that the distribution is uneven or exactly unfair in a direct sense.

Umbrias,

It’s called “the cycle of violence” not “the self declining line of violence”. It’s easy to be violent over past suffering.

Umbrias,

Hallucinations are unlike Human creative output. For one, ai hallucinations are unintentional. There’s plenty of reasons if you actually think about the question why they are not the same. They are at best dreamlike, but dreams are an intentional process.

Umbrias,

You can have it try again over and over, even while telling it the answer is 12, and it hallucinates basically random numbers to boot.

Umbrias,

You are assigning far more vague grandeur to ai hallucinations than what they are in practice.

Umbrias,

Hallucinations are not qualia.

Please go talk to an llm for hallucinations, you can use duck duck gos implementation of chatgpt, and see why it’s being used to mean a fairly different thing from human hallucinations.

Breakthrough promises secure and private quantum computing at home (www.physics.ox.ac.uk)

The full power of next-generation quantum computing could soon be harnessed by millions of individuals and companies thanks to a breakthrough by scientists at Oxford’s Department of Physics guaranteeing security and privacy. The advance promises to unlock the transformative potential of cloud-based quantum computing and is...

Umbrias,

There are plenty of quantum resistant cryptography methods that already exist and have existed for a decade or more.

Umbrias,

It won’t be a security risk once it’s in use, IT across Germany will know within days of deployment. It will almost definitely be a modified version of some probably well known Linux.

Umbrias,

I don’t think it really matters whether a potential adversary has a ‘head start’ all that much, security through obscurity doesn’t work super well when it’s going to be deployed to thousands of easily accessible devices anyway. It’d only just be a defense in depth, but even then meh. But it’s neither here nor there, they’ll do it whatever way they feel is best.

Umbrias,

Social engineering is to gain access circumventing downcode, not really “get a head start”…

Most attacks are entirely social engineering. You’re not breaking into secure databases by pulling ridiculous zero day backdoors when it’s much easier to convince an intern to download a file or give you access directly. These super involved attacks are state actors, and no amount of trying to hide what Linux version is being modified will do anything for you there.

State actors of course also use social engineering

Ultimately the point is hacking really doesn’t involve the kind of subterfuge you’re describing here in a way where " what Linux is it " matters at all. I mean, windows is used for secure systems across the world, it’s hardly secretive.

Umbrias,

Digital data is extremely short lived. Unless it’s being maintained well and copied, it will decay regardless of storage medium fairly rapidly. And as you point out data interface techniques are themselves quite short lived. Storing data as something accessible without specialist technology, so plainly readable, instructions on how to build the reader and decode the data, etc.

Future technology may improve this by having historians interested in historical records wanting ways to recover it, at least.

Umbrias,

Columbus did not in fact do that, nor is that “the reason” the modern world exists. Broken window fallacy, slaughtering people and generally doing colonialism is not an effective way to create technological progress.

Umbrias,

In doing so you sacrifice the wealth and progress of the people you are colonializing. Like I said, broken window fallacy. Slaughtering while cultures doesn’t actually as a rule lead to an increase in human wealth or progress towards this future.

And "great person"ing Columbus who was more a bumbling symptom of the colonialist sentiment that already existed is silly. There would have been colonization without him. He’s just the face that got to start genocides for Spain in the Americas first.

Umbrias,

Beehaw doesn’t have nor does it federate down votes, so don’t worry. People can be as upset as they want but if they won’t engage in discussion to voice it I’ll never know.

Umbrias,

That’s not answering the question though.

“Pick a number between 1 and 100” doesn’t mean “grab two d10” or write a script.

Umbrias,

Just wait until you hear about all the ways parents used to also fail their children.

Technological literacy is ideal, but lacking it is hardly a failure of character.

Umbrias,

It has everything to do with tech literacy. Understanding how to use technology includes the consequences of that use.

Sure I’ll take the discussion more seriously: I don’t know what your experiences were and im sure you have valid reasons to be upset. But your comment makes no indication of these experiences, and I’m not expecting you to share them, you make no indication of wanting to.

Projecting those traumas into a cudgel with which to judge strangers harshly on a whim however is going to be behavior that gets pushback. I don’t think that child has unloving parents, nor deserves to be taken to a new family because the parents made a mistake they clearly learned from. I think they broadly reacted well to the situation in a system (surveillance capitalism) which does a poor job, possibly an actively malicious job, of educating people about the downsides of existing in and using features of that system. Maybe they, if digging deeper, have failed to learn or are in fact unloving. But based on the information available, I don’t think that’s a fair assessment.

I hope you are doing well and wish you luck handling your past and your goals related to it.

Umbrias,

You’re very defensive of your willing hostility.

Umbrias,

The motivations you construct for me are yours alone.
