  • had this convo just yesterday 🤦‍♀️

  • These days we have websites for exactly that purpose.

    A lot of the major furniture in my apartment came from people getting rid of stuff that I found via free-and-for-sale pages.

  • Sure, but to get the communication started you would start with facts you’d agree on, like the positions of stars or basic chemistry.

  • The model we currently have for the universe goes well beyond anything we could learn with our natural senses and the way we intuitively think about the world because of those senses.

    It’s true that we keep refining our models and it’s very possible that an alien would have slightly different models, but at the end of the day, we are trying to describe the same universe and those models are going to overlap a lot because of that.

  • First of all, there has been a lot of research into what the minimal set of assumptions you need is to reproduce what we consider “basic math” and also what happens if you tweak those assumptions.

    Second of all, the main goal for science and the type of math we use for science is to effectively model the world we live in.

    Any aliens that live in the same universe are subject to the same physics, and any civilization advanced enough to detect our messages will know some basic universal facts about the world, and those facts are what we hope to use as the basis for starting communication.

  • Just make it “dee” like how people pronounce “D20” and it can keep “dice” as its plural.

  • Signal messages retrieved from iOS notification, as seen in Prairieland federal trial

    Jump

  • Signal already has that setting. It’s up to the user to decide their level of convenience vs security.

  • Would you keep seeing a doctor that required to you agree to the use of AI in your treatment to continue being a patient?

    Jump

  • data security in that case had nothing to do with the llm

    That’s kinda my point.

  • “I don’t trust companies to hold their promises” is a very different argument from:

    LLMs are inherently bad at data security and there is no way these companies can, in good faith, promise HIPPA compliance

    It is certainly possible to implement a secure LLM service.

  • What do you carry in your pockets or with you daily?

    Jump

  • Phone, wallet, keys, and headphones

  • Would you keep seeing a doctor that required to you agree to the use of AI in your treatment to continue being a patient?

    Jump

  • This is about extracting data that was used as training data. Just don’t do that with sensitive data.

  • Would you keep seeing a doctor that required to you agree to the use of AI in your treatment to continue being a patient?

    Jump

  • LLMs are inherently bad at data security and there is no way these companies can, in good faith, promise HIPPA compliance

    This is simply false. AI sucks but it doesn’t help to lie about it.

    EDIT:

    Go run a local model on your own computer, and delete the context when you are done. Boom you just used an LLM in a way that maintains your data security.

  • Bitwarden 100% price increase

  • Natural disaster -> no longer can access everything you have online, including bank and insurance accounts, at precisely the time you most don’t want to deal with that.

  • Particle Beam

    Jump

  • I’m sure whoever made this comic heard about that case

  • Apple introduces Macbook Neo - cheaper Macbooks starting at $599

    Jump

  • It’s the same price and similar specs to current Chromebook models, which is what I think they are trying to compete against.

  • What is your funniest case of misheard song lyrics?

    Jump

  • Not exactly “misheard”, but the lyrics to the Minecraft parody of “Dynamite” stuck more strongly in my head than the original.

  • Datacenters in space are a terrible, horrible, no good idea.

    Jump

  • You can’t turn pure heat into useful energy. Thermoelectric generators tap into the transfer of heat between a hot reservoir and a cold reservoir.

  • How bad would something have to be if 99% of the outcomes are good and 1% of the outcomes were disastrous before society banned that thing?

    Jump

  • Literally everything you mentioned has at least had its ban discussed, and most of those have been banned or at least restricted in some part of the world.

  • How bad would something have to be if 99% of the outcomes are good and 1% of the outcomes were disastrous before society banned that thing?

    Jump

  • I think a 1% chance of permanent health effects manifesting years later is already plenty to get something banned.

  • What search engine do you guys use?

  • DDG works 90% of the time but it does perform worse than Google sometimes
