Why can you understand this being done to a goose?

Well Passkeys are a good step to enhance security and remove potential backdoors from companies for one. As you have your private key that cannot be easily imitated and is checked by the company that you use.

And generally speaking, your phone can be attacked via software without even having physical access. So if your phone is infected they gain access (at some point during usage) to both your password manager and your 2FA. It is just never a good idea to have multiple thongs in one place.

On a side note, with physical access to one of your devices for a longer time, most things can be accessed by a malicious actor.

You can force auth on hardware passkeys for every activation. A sort of local password. Much more secure, also if somebody is in possession of your passkey and you didn’t just loose it somewhere you would be fucked anyways.

I have three, one for home, one for backup, and one for travel. I can See why ppl. Are annoyed by that, but speaking of costs, you can get these starting from ~20 Dollars. Additionally, passkeys could and should replace passwords and not EB generally used as 2FA.

Also many password managers (incl. FOSS) do support Passkeys, but having them in your password manager makes them arguably useless. Same if you use 2FA on your phone and a password manager and your phone gets compromised somehow.

Not if it comes to hardware-based passkeys I would argue

That does not need to be the case (seeing that you probably meant this in jest, I still will take it on). Assuming the cat is already a higher dimensional being, which I feel is valid as it can move between them.

Imagine a Cube going through a 2D plane. You would see a cross section of the cube depending on the angle it goes through. The same would be the case for a hypercube in 4D and 3D (different effect as different cross section though).

So I would argue the comic is correct.

With heroic, GOG games work flawlessly, you can use both proton and wine with it. Also supports Epic Games and other games from launchers.

Native GOG launcher on Linux would be nice, too though

Similar to the original meaning of this post. Many countries forbid people to enter the military and similar office, if they are known to hold extreme believes (e.g. extreme right wing rhetoric has been used by them or such). Not always foolproof though

I think you are correct as it is now. And I do agree, as it is right now it is not practical to be completely secular for people holding these offices.

However, ideally, these groups would not need the recognition in this way as they ought to already have it otherwise and understanding that at some places some things are limited, should not discourage them to believe in what they want.

Yes I see that problem and in the best case it would not be renouncing their beliefs not to wear something where it is not appropriate, but there are many other beliefs or reasons where one is excluded from official office/army, etc.

I would say ideally not as they represent the state and thus should not wear iconography of any sort for secular states.

I also know that this might not be exactly practial in reality

I agree, though I am of the opinion that in secular states (at least at home and in peace time) government officials (including the army) should not wear any religious iconography

I think it is very weird to have that tattooed or on any military gear. Secularism and such, but that is the heraldry of the former Kingdom of Jerusalem. Albeit being the result of crusades, I don’t think it is supremacist by itself?

Edit: Also the flag of the country of Georgia. Going by this, the US military either serves in the Georgian army as of recent or they confused theirs with the country again?

Edit#2: Quick wikipedia, also apparently still the symbol of the latin patriarchate of Jerusalem nowadays

To be honest, I feel like what you describe in the second part (the monkey analogy) is more of a genetic algorithm than a machine learning one, but I get your point.

Quick side note, I wasn’t at all including a discussion about energy consumption and in that case ML based algorithms, whatever form they take, will mostly consume more energy (assuming not completely inefficient “classical” algorithms). I do admit, I am not sure how much more (especially after training), but at least the LLMs with their large vector/matrix based approaches eat a lot (I mean that in the case for cross-checking tokens in different vectors or such). Non LLM, ML, may be much more power efficient.

My main point, however, was that people only remember AI from ~2022 and forgot about things from before (e.g. non LLM, ML algorithms) that were actively used in code completion. Obviously, there are things like ruff, clang-tidy (as you rightfully mentioned) and more that can work without and machine learning. Although, I didn’t check if there literally is none, though I assume it.

On the point of game “AI”, as in AI opponents, I wasn’t talking of that at all (though since deep mind, they did tend to be a bit more ML based also, and better at games, see Starcraft 2, instead of cheating only to get an advantage)

How so? A Large Language Model is usually a transformer based approach nowadays, right (correct me if outdated)?

AI is artificial intelligence, which has been used and abused for many different things, none of which are intelligent right now (among others used for machine learning).

Machine learning is based on linear algebra like linear regression or other methods depending what you want to do.

An algorithm is by definition anything that follows a recipe so to say.

All of these things, bare transformers and newer in development approaches like spiked neural networks or liquid neural networks are fairly basic, no?

EDIT: typos

I am not talking about what it does, I am talking about what it is.

And all tools do tend to replace human labor. For example, tractors replaced many farmhands.

The thing we face nowadays, and this is by no means limited to things like AI, is that less jobs are created by new tools than old destroyed (in my earlier simile, a tractor needs mechanics and such).

The definition of something is entirely disconnected from its usage (mainly).

And just because everyone calls LLMs now AI, there are plenty of scientific literature and things that have been called AI before. As of now, as it boils down all of these are algorithms.

The thing with machine learning is just that it is an algorithm that fine tunes itself (which is often blackbox-ish btw). And strictly speaking LLMs, commonly refered to as AI, are a subclass of ML with new technology.

I make and did not make any statement of the values of that technology or my stance on it

I mean doesn’t it heavily depend what you refer to as AI?

ML algorithms, come very close to LLMs and have been back in the day refered to as AI. They are also used in code completion.

Also both of these are algorithms, but with weights defined by data input.

Not E2EE though

No age is fine. Being in a relationship with sbd to brag about their body or age only is weird

Edit: Spelling

Maybe the point is that to both of these are status symbols even though deplorable (both actually but the dating a 29 year old moreso)
