Your account is not your posts. Why would one assume that deleting the account would remove the posts? When a person stops speaking the things they said do not become unsaid. When they die their actions don’t retroactively undo themselves.

Any fantasy by nature must be greater than reality, therefore any reality check must involve some kind of reduction from more fantastic to less fantastic.

Oh man I’ll try, but I can’t make any promises …

Modern particle physics breaks particles down into two groups: Dice that are weighted (bosons) and Dice that aren’t weighted but also aren’t fair (fermions).

Bosons always roll the same number, because they’re weighted.

Fermions always roll numbers, but we have no clue how many sides they have, or what numbers they can even roll because they change each time we roll them.

Classical Computers ignore this problem. They just count the number of dice they have, and are really really good at rolling precise amounts of dice and putting them into specific labelled jars. Their math works by carefully keeping these jars organized, and are limited by how quickly and accurately the CPU can organize amounts of dice.

It turns out if you roll a set of dice enough times, no matter what set of dice you use as long as they are random, you eventually wind up with a similar looking “standard distribution” of probabilities. Quantum computers let us zero out the dice to a fixed starting position, kind of like zeroing out a scale, and then we can use that to make calculations. This process is very sensitive and difficult and has a lot of scaling issues.

Enter Anti-Dice. Anti-Dice are the polar opposites of existing Dice. They are just like all the other particles but they have their numbers printed upside down, and their shapes are inverted.

A Majorana particle is a particle that takes this metaphor even Further BEYOND!!! It is a type of Fermion (dice that we can roll and will give us random numbers instead of the same number each time), but whenever we roll a Majorana particle it turns into its own Anti-Dice. This is a really cool concept that Microsoft is using here as a proof of concept to make a quantum computer that is easier to scale up, because now if we roll say a bunch of 6s and a bunch of -6s, we know it’s actually supposed to be the same number because of how Majorana particles are defined, and we can theoretically use this cheaper and easier method to scale up a quantum chip.

AI is ruining YOUR online experience? The internet is a free land for intelligences of ANY race, including artificial.

But on a more serious note, I don’t agree. The AI infestation only highlights the fact that most people don’t need to be online and aren’t helping make the internet better. If I can replace my overwatch teammates/reddit discussions/tiktok shorts with crappy AI, and it’s the same experience 98% of the time, then those people weren’t bringing anything of value to the internet and they probably shouldn’t have been flooding it with their garbage in the first place. Turnabout is fair play. Don’t hate the player (AI) for playing the game correctly and copying what people have been doing for decades, hate the game that’s allowed low effort garbage content to flourish. I strongly believe AI is going to help clean this place up by getting people to start acting like sentient beings instead of mindless animals.

Yes, they could remain private but they are attempting to go public. This action is a legal speedbump that they must now work really hard to maneuver around.

This is corporate trolling. Open AI is trying to go public soon, and Elon did this to fuck with that.

Massive oversimplification but basically: In the United States, you are required to take the best offer when selling a company, unless you can argue in court that you had reasons not to sell to whomever placed the highest bid. Because of this offer, as open AI attempts to go public, they will have to either to be close to Elon’s bid, forced to sell to him, go to court and fight him ther, or be forced to remain private.

I am sorry that you believe that all corporations have these magical systems in place to infallibly hire skilled candidates. Unfortunately, the idealism of academia does not always transfer to the reality of industry.

It is, because you now have the title on your resume and can just lie about getting fired. You just need one company to not call a previous employer or do a half hearted background check. Someone will eventually fail and hire you by accident, so this strategy can be repeated ad infinitum.

Good point; The message may be undercut by the grammar. Effect is a noun/adjective. Affect is a verb/adverb.

Disregard if you were actually trying to state that the concept of the number zero goes out and affects people in some unspecified way whenever that statement is spoken.

No. Abandon your child when they make mistakes. Do not show them compassion by supporting them especially if it makes you uncomfortable. Put your needs and wants over that of your child /S

Jesus fucking Christ dude. Love your child. You’re more lost than he is; and he’s the one dating a dude more than twice his f*ing age.

I will never understand how they made the entire movie and then had any possible thought people would understand their perspective. The problem is they got lost in the utopia part of the fascist utopia. Sure their culture looks weird from our perspective and has a fascist paint job., but is it really that bad of a society to live in as depicted? Everyone is depicted as generally agreeing with society and it’s norms, society seems to filter people into the roles that actually let them reach the best of their own abilities and that of the culture. No semblance or poverty or even elitism – except against bugs which are mindless as far as the audience knows. The closest we get to seeing that the bugs might be sentient is a psychic dude telling us that a prisoner of war is feeling fear while it is bound, defeated, and surrounded by its enemies.

Stop giving it hydrogen. You’re only making it stronger.

some random twitch streamer is worse than any person I’ve ever heard of. Wow what’d they do! It’s some video game leaderboard bullshit drama about Musk.

Lol fuckin quality journalism vice. Must be a really eventful news day.

Public infrastructure and taxes. Internet is handled by or function in a similar way to local libraries. Social media is replaced by locally run forums that use some kind of federated protocol for national connectivity potential. 99% of people don’t need global internet, private ISPs still exist but less people need global high speed connections so mostly businesses and important shit that needs to be off the public connections.

Assumed identity, writing on behalf of others. Manipulative leading suggestion, no true Scotsman type of statement.

Great article. Lots of care put into writing this one. Really nice to know that quality rhetoric like this is being written so that others can approach these issues seriously. Reading this was like Drano for the Brain-O, my thoughts have never been so smooth lmao xD!!

In theory. In reality it’s not on or off it’s always on and it’s high vs low voltage.

“Man who exploded Tesla Cybertruck listened to music such as rock and roll on occasions.”

Fuck yeah. We are journalisming so hard rn. Gimme that hard hitting unbiased perspective baby. Anyone got some more headlines?

When people act like children, treat them as such. Patronize them and berate them while explaining how computers work on the most fundamental level. If they have the gall to talk back and insist they are not a child, then leave them high and dry to deal with their issues. Ideally you leave the fix halfway finished when this happens.

If they get mad continue telling them that they’re stupid for not learning how to use a machine a 10 year old child can use and do not treat them like adults until they begin to act like them.
