I've made less than 50 comments on Lemmy and none were very popular and yet I made the list? Maybe some kinda keyword thing. Strange.

crazy people need dick too

I've seen a lot of people saying how this will be unenforceable and so isn't something we need to worry about.

Except this could be enforced. Google came out with a proposal a few years ago for a method of validating the a request came from a "trusted" (aka, signed and with secure boot enabled OS), ostensibly to combat bot traffic. They dropped it after push back, but it still provides a blueprint for how this could be enforced.

If web platforms are mandated by law to enforce something like this then the web could be effectively restricted to only approved operating systems. There could still be a dark web, but with the weight of the law behind it, once anything gained momentum access to it could be shut down at the service provider layer.

This shouldn't be dismissed as a threat because it's "unenforceable", because it is.

The important distinction here (and I get it, analogies are always imperfect) is that the photograph analogy has "hidden variables". That is, each half is fixed at the moment of their separation and you just don't know what's in the envelopes until you open one. That's not how entangled particles work though, and which "half" is which is not determined until the instant of measurement, at which point the state of both are known and fixed.

Well I know these people and they're great plus they're married now :)

That the fossil record is incomplete

This is pretty conclusively addressed by the Bell Inequalities and empirically tested. It's absolutely counter-intuitive and feels "wrong" but it is definitely how our universe operates.

I tried, and failed, to get into audio books for years. Then I listened to Dungeon Crawler Carl narrated by Jeff Hayes and what an absolute delight it was. There's no way I would've gotten even 10 minutes in if it was one of those soulless AI voices instead.

Fetterman as a Democratic frontrunner for 2028? Ya that's about the level of disingenuous bullshit I'd expect to be peddled by the Daily Mail

yo what the fuck, that is bullshit

Some TVs have been found to continually scan for open wifi networks to connect to in order to ship back the telemetry they gather.

Is the argument here that anti-AI folks are hypocrites because people can be bad too sometimes? That's a remarkably childish and simple take.

You're right that light is not "a wave and a particle depending on whether you observe it". Instead, light is a quantized field. It is a field because it exists at every point and allows for wave-like behavior such as superposition and interference (both things seen in all fields, like waves in water or radio, etc.). But it is quantized because when the field interacts it does so via photons which can only exist in integer quantities. This quantization of interaction of the underlying continuous field gives us all the "weirdness" we see. Okay, not quite all of it, there are still even weirder parts of quantum mechanics, but it does explain the double slit experiment.

Brother Ali don't miss

after much deliberation, we've decided to do absolutely nothing

lol, lmao even

probably a typo or auto-correct mistake for "camping fuel", which I've seen mentioned in other sources

Only if they aren't using customer provided encryption keys (is using blob/bucket storage) or an equivalent approach to encryption at rest, and make sure they're doing standard TLS for encryption in flight.

It's absolutely possible, and standard for any decent organization, to build their cloud architectures to fully account for the cloud provider potentially accessing your data without authorization. I've personally had such design conversations multiple times.

Except no one is entitled to talent either, and that's the unspoken presumption unpinning all of this. The fact that the entire technology is built off of the unethical use of other's art just reinforces the entitlement of it all.

Measured boot requires secure boot to be enabled as one of its components.

The real value of measured boot is when paired with full disk encryption as it protects against boot loader attacks that can compromise your sealed keys.
