I think it must be a trabslatranslation error or so, because yeah you should NEVER touch live if you’re grounded haha 😅
- Comment on FLOSS communities right now 4 months ago:
It’s better. Not good. Better than other tools, at least in the eyes of the many people using it. But as I stated at another post, to me this speaks to the fact that we need better FOSS alternatives for whatever purposes discord is used. I don’t like Discord either, don’t get me wrong! But so many people using it means something’s missing and I don’t think it cab solely be explained by the lack of knowledge of existing solutions but at least partly by the existence itself.

Hello, as I said, it’s about “security by design”, which means to design a system that ‘doesn’t allow for insecure things’ in the first place. Like a microwave oven doesn’t operate when the door is open. IT-/cyber-security is a complex field, but 2FA is a good place to start, regarding user facing services. There are lots more things than that of course.
- Comment on 23andMe tells victims it's their fault that their data was breached | TechCrunch 5 months ago:
That’s exactly right. I was about to say how people usually don’t even “not take it seriously” but rather don’t even think or know about it. But you already said that yourself haha :D
- Comment on 23andMe tells victims it's their fault that their data was breached | TechCrunch 5 months ago:
The lions share IMHO is at 23&me. Offering such a poorly secured service is negligence, in the face of the data’s high sensitivity nature.
- Comment on 23andMe tells victims it's their fault that their data was breached | TechCrunch 5 months ago:
This shouldn’t be “offered” IMHO, this should be mandatory. Yes, people are very ignorant about cyber security (I’ve studied in this field, trust me, I know). But the answer isn’t to out the responsibility on the user! It is to design products and services which are secure by design.
If someone is actually able to crack accounts via brute-forcing common passwords, you did not design a secure service/product.
- Comment on 23andMe tells victims it's their fault that their data was breached | TechCrunch 5 months ago:
I wpuld saz it’s partially their fault. IMHO 23&me is mainly to blame. They should’ve enforced (proper) 2FA. Sure, people should’ve known better, but they didn’t; they oftenly don’t. But 23&me did know better.

Nailed it. No one can argue with that 🧠
- Comment on 41% of fediverse instances have blocked threads so far!!! 6 months ago:
Essentially because after they did something bad it’s likely too late. But others can explain this in more detail with more knowledge than I have.
- Comment on 41% of fediverse instances have blocked threads so far!!! 6 months ago:
This is a great example to explain it to people who are familiar with the topic. But if I tell that to a “random” friend, word for word, they won’t know what I’m talking about :D
- Comment on 41% of fediverse instances have blocked threads so far!!! 6 months ago:
Someone should make a post about why blocking Threads is good and why it’s not to be confused with gate keeping. If not properly communicated, this could look very badly for the uninitiated and they’re not to blame.
Some people of course have an educated opinion against blocking, but many presumably don’t know the reasons behind it.

Maybe read abeut the EEE strategy (embrace, extend, extinguish). Gatekeeping is bad but this isn’t about gatekeeping
- Comment on Walmart, Costco and other companies rethink self-checkout, some stores removing them 6 months ago:
After a few times I memorized where the bread or fruit (w/o barcode) I usually buy is in the menu and am almost equally fast as an employee would be. So it just took me some time to adjust personally.

You don’t say haha :D But there is no reason why people who don’t work or study in a math related field would have an intuition for that.
- Comment on Panik 8 months ago:
It “looks” or “feels” prime. And being divisible by a prime like 17 feels even stranger.
- Comment on ‘Overhyped’ generative AI will get a ‘cold shower’ in 2024, analysts predict 8 months ago:
You don’t need a LLM for converting pseudo code to Latex. LLMs surely help at programming (in my experience), but I feel like your example is really giving them justice :p
- Comment on Results of the "Can you tell which images are AI generated?" survey 8 months ago:
I said “reliably”, should have said “…and generally”. You can, as I said, always tailor a detector model to a certain target model (generator). But the reliability of this defense builds upon the assumption, that the target model is static and doesn’t change. This is has been a common error/mistake in AI research regarding defensive techniques against adversarial examples. But if you think about it, it’s a very strong assumption, that doesn’t make a lot of sense.
Again, learning the characteristics of one or several fixed models is trivial and gets as nowhere, because evasive techniques (e.g. finding ‘adverserial examples against the detector’ so to speak) can’t be prevented as of know, to the best of my knowledge.
- Comment on Results of the "Can you tell which images are AI generated?" survey 8 months ago:
This isn’t possible as of now, at least not reliably. Yes, you can tailor a model to one specific generative model, but because we have no reliable outlier detection (to train the “AI made detector”), a generative model can always be trained with the detector model incorporated in the training process. The generative model (or a new model only designed to perturb output of the “original” generative model) would then learn to create outliers to the outlier detector, effectively fooling the detector. An outlier is everything that pretends to be “normal” but isn’t.
In short: as of now we have no way to effectively and reliably defend against adversarial examples. This implies, that we have no way to effectively and reliably detect AI generated content.
Please correct me if I’m wrong, I might be mixing up some things.

Did you really just call blet boo low effort? 🫠 Also, you’re not really complaining about awful low effort memes below a shitpost, are you?

You’ll be able to connect with people by giving out your username instead of your phone number. You will however still be required to register using your phone number, if I’m not completely mistaken.
So you can buy a burner phone (number) to receive the registration code and you’re good. Perhaps need to keep the number for migrating to new phone though.
