I’m so over this two party circle jerk.
- Comment on Jack Dorsey would like to ‘delete all IP law’. 1 week ago:
I believe it would be darker than mere loopholes. Corporations would probably both protect their own IP and steal each others’ IP through militant means. Like, Cyberpunk 2077 could become reality.

All those times the kids at school called me butt-face… look who’s complimenting me now. Ha, suckers.
- Comment on Windows Defender Anti-vitus Bypassed Using Direct Syscalls & XOR Encryption 1 week ago:
XOR cleartext once with a key you get ciphertext. XOR the ciphertext with the same key you get the original ciphertext. At its core this is the way the old DES cipher works.
A bit of useful trivia: If you XOR any number with itself, you get all zeros. You can see this in practice when an assembly programmer XOR’s a register with itself to clear it out.

This special prison in Louisiana that does not need to follow normal laws… Is it protected by normal laws?
- Comment on Anthropic has developed an AI 'brain scanner' to understand how LLMs work and it turns out the reason why chatbots are terrible at simple math and hallucinate is weirder than you thought 2 weeks ago:
This reminds me of learning a shortcut in math class but also knowing that the lesson didn’t cover that particular method. So, I use the shortcut to get the answer on a multiple choice question, but I use method from the lesson when asked to show my work. (e.g. Pascal’s Pyramid vs Binomial Expansion).
It might not seem like a shortcut for us, but something about this LLM’s training makes it easier to use heuristics. That’s actually a pretty big deal for a machine to choose fuzzy logic over algorithms when it knows that the teacher wants it to use the algorithm.

Yeah, but this reminds me of a line from game of thrones:

- Comment on The Tesla protests are getting bigger — and rowdier 1 month ago:
Yeah just like thousands of civil servants are “embarrased” of losing their jobs. Just like judges are “embarrased” that the executive branch is ignoring their rulings. Just like millions of Ukrainians are “embarrased” of losing their home. Get over your fucking self… we are at war.

Wait til you hear about radio astronomy:
The brightest discrete radio source is the Sun (Figure 1.10), but the Sun is much less dominant than it is in visible light. The radio sky is dark even when the Sun is up because atmospheric molecules and dust particles don’t scatter radio waves whose wavelengths are much larger than these particles. Most radio observations can be made day or night. Clouds are also nearly transparent at wavelengths λ>2λ>2 cm, so long-wavelength radio observations can be made even when the sky is overcast.

They never said that we should revolt, rather, proposed what would happen if we didn’t.
