1·5 months agoApparently Nintendo switch 2 is using the standard already, so it might go over better than Sony.
I think I’m starting to get back into beehaw, so 👋 it’s been a crazy several years…I’ve been diagnosed with clinical depression and now I’m better so that’s good overall
Hexorg@beehaw.orgto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What's the greatest invention of 21st century, in your opinion?
1·2 years agoGood point! I wonder if we’re spoiled by computer invention though. Would be interesting to compare preWW2 invention rates and now. I suspect computers just made everything else easier, but now we’re back to hard problems
Hexorg@beehaw.orgto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What's the greatest invention of 21st century, in your opinion?
61·2 years agoTo be fair, there’s only been 24 year’s of 21 century. Most things you gave listed happened at the end of the 20th century. But also the question is somewhat self negating - we won’t know what’s the greatest invention until we see it working great, but it takes much more than 24 years to take an invention from concept to consumption. For example computational biology is kicking off. Computer aided dna generation started in the past 24 years. But it’s so new few people think about it. Just like no one thought of internet as the greatest invention in the 70s… it was just too new
What was that about him doing twitter’s technology policing and leaving running the company to the new CEO?
Hexorg@beehaw.orgMto Programming@beehaw.org•Question: Communication between AWS Commercial and Gov Cloud
1·3 years agoI haven’t worked directly on gov cloud but I’m familiar with its design. The two systems are completely isolated from each other with internet in between. I know you can port forward in AWS so a solution would be to spin up a VPN server in AWS and connect to it from gov cloud.
Yeah I had a similar feel.
Is this a homework assignment?

8 years ago I posted on facebook that whoever is interested in keeping in touch should text me and I deleted my account a week later. 4 people texted - all 4 were my high school friend. I’m very good friends with them still. We have a tiny discord server for communication. Since then I had maybe 4 more people who I thought “huh, I wonder what are they up to now” over the years, but my curiosity wasn’t big enough to start facebook again. For the rest I didn’t really care.

1·3 years agoJavaScript is much much higher level than C, but there are vulnerability announcements in npm all the time. C does, however, let you implement more kinds of vulnerabilities associated with memory handling.

1·3 years agoLet’s face it it’s going to be muchh harder to “get a life” with programming productivity tools instead of just giving extra revenue to whatever corporation you’re working for.

I think a lot of American privacy/security folks start with realizing the US government isn’t about privacy, so they want smaller government, but the only party pushing for smaller government pushes bigoted views to so the privacy folks get sucked into that mental space… not condoning them at all but I think this situation is the result of two-party government. I’m in security sector, but I do research and so there are a lot more left-leaning people around me. Sorry I don’t know any podcasts to recommend though.
Everyone(Who is not a professional game dev yet) has their own projects because they feel more control and freedom working on their own project. As a result we all have 30 unfinished projects and that’s it.
I think for a “happy” porn instance to exist, there needs to be something like at most 3-4 “new” posts per moderator per day. Maybe even less than that.
I’ve worked as a cyber forensic specialist and I needed to take a few months off after some cases. And I was being paid.
Porn is not talked about “mainstream” enough and as a result there are probably as many “good” sexual communities as there are “bad”. I have no idea really I don’t think anyone does but I think it’s fair to explore the 50/50 threat model. I think it’s worth adding “grey” area and making it a 34/33/33 split. Because there are some communities that have been trying to make an argument that they aren’t bad and some other communities think they are bad… So I think at best we can have federation islands of like-minded sexual communities only.
“bad” content creators know they are bad and are illegal. So if lemmy adds features to quickly trace and expose “bad” content creators to authorities this can help. But this where the challenge comes - on Reddit “good” content creators trusted the admins to not dox them. On lemmy you now have to trust the instance admins. More over the federated nature makes this even more challenging - if a “bad” instance comes out your only choice is to defederate and maybe send a email to the feds (and likely face some sort of audit as well). Because if the same tracking tools become available across instances then it’s going to be doxxing galore.
I should add that I’m sitting in a waiting room about to have a minor surgery I’m very nervous about and posting online is me currently trying to ignore my feelings so this post’s reasoning is likely incomplete
Hexorg@beehaw.orgto World News@beehaw.org•Supreme Court strengthens protections for religious rights at workEnglish
0·3 years agoThe article is behind a paywall so I can’t read it all. Does it sound like the law has potential to be abused? Religions are not formally defined because that’d open a whole another can of worms. Can someone claim rummaging through a cash register - their religious ritual?

Hexorg@beehaw.orgOPto Network Engineering@infosec.pub•Managed switch works for Linux but not for u-boot?English
2·3 years agoI think lemmy is messing up. I replied a week ago.

But we did figure it out. Fastport was disabled and uboot resets the electrical lines which caused the managed switch to rebuild its tree which was still happening by the time uboot started sending arp requests






Its an interesting perspective, except… that’s not how AI works (even if it’s advertised that way). Even the latest approach for ChatGPT is not perfect memory. It’s a glorified search functionality. When you type a prompt the system can choose to search your older chats for related information and pull it into context… what makes that information related is the big question here - it uses an embedding model to index and compare your chats. You can imagine it as a fuzzy paragraph search - not exact paragraphs, but paragraphs that roughly talk about the same topic…
it’s not a guarantee that if you mention not liking sushi in one chat - talking about restaurant of choice will pull in the sushi chat. And even if it does pull that in, the model may choose to ignore that. And even if it doesn’t ignore that - You can choose to ignore that. Of course the article talks about healing so I imagine instead of sushi we’re talking about some trauma…. Ok so you can choose not to reveal details of your trauma to AI(that’s an overall good idea right now anyway). Or you can choose to delete the chat - it won’t index deleted chats.
At the same time - there are just about as many benefits of the model remembering something you didn’t. You can imagine a scenario where you mentioned your friend being mean to you and later they are manipulating you again. Maybe having the model remind you of the last bad encounter is good here? Just remember - AI is a machine and you control both its inputs and what you’re to do with its outputs.
