Unexpected to AI true believers.

A 4D printer would need to know the time.

The details about falling assumes Earth level gravity too. That might be different enough to change the scale of things. When gravity is especially high you aren’t likely to evolve very tall creatures because vertical movement becomes punishingly expensive.

For massive size differences I would expect that to affect brain size and intelligence. Below a minimum size you’re not likely to get higher intelligence because the brain just isn’t complex enough.

There’s also interesting problems with heat. Larger bodies have less surface area to dissipate heat and so are more prone to overheating. Tiny bodies may lose heat to their environment too easily.

This RCA message archiving feature is on “fully managed” Pixel devices, which are COBO: corporate owned, business only. You shouldn’t be doing anything personal on such devices.

There’s also “work profile” which is a different kind of management for mixed personal and work use. With work profile, the admin has no visibility into the personal side of the device.

It’s simplest and safest to follow what you wrote and never bring personal and work anywhere near each other. But there’s downsides to that, like having to carry two phones. I think there’s some situations where most people will feel safe doing personal things on a work device.

Polybius.

No. Fractals are self-similar at different scales. I’m not aware of anything like that in quantum computers, theoretical or actual.

Several of my top ten are from Dragon’s Lair.

Previously discussed three months ago at lemmy.ml/post/33176527. Not sure how to format that link correctly though…

[The bill] includes language that could ban not only VPNs but any method of bypassing internet filters or restrictions.

It sounds to me like I2P and tor would also be illegal.

It’s called constructive dismissal.

Stingray phone trackers and similar IMSI catchers are a kind of honeypot.

ANOM wasn’t until it was, and then it shut down. I recommend the Darknet Diaries episode to hear the story.

Life is a special form of complexity: It has the ability to create more complexity and to maintain organization against the tendency toward disorder.

No, life isn’t special in that way. Life exists because of an increase in entropy elsewhere. We don’t consider a planet to be special just because it is bathed in light from its star, but it’s the same pattern: Increasing entropy in the star leads to organization (light) on the planet.

If dark energy means we have an unending input of exploitable energy into the universe then life can potentially continue forever, but there’s nothing special about life that lets it do that.

According to https://reddthat.com/post/25633 there’s payment options for librepay, ko-fi, and a few different crypto options. This post mentions ~A$22/week in total income revenue, which matches what librepay reports. What’s the income from all the other sources? Are they all ~A$0?

We secure your account against SIM swaps…with modern cryptography protocols.

This just dosent make ANY sense. Sim swaps are done via social engeneering.

See this for details. Their tech support people do not have the access necessary to move a line so there’s nobody to social engineer. Only the customer can start the process to move a line after cryptographic authentication using BIP-39.

proprietary signaling protection

If they wanted to be private, it would be Open source.

I’m really tired of this trope in the privacy community. Open source does not mean private. Nobody is capable of reviewing the massive amount of code used by a modern system as complex as a phone operating system and cellular network. There’s no way to audit the network to know that it’s all running the reciewed open source code either.

Voicemails can hold sensitive information like 2FA codes.

Since when do people send 2fa codes via voicemail? The fuck? Just use signal.

There are many 2FA systems that offer to call your number so the system can tell you your 2FA code.

The part where I share your reaction to Cape is about identifying customers. This page goes into detail about these aspects, and it has a lot of things that are indeed better than any other carrier out there.

But it’s a long distance short of being private. They’re a “heavy MVNO”. This means their customers’ phones are still using other carriers’ cell towers, and those can still collect and log IMSI and device location information. Privacy researchers have demonstrated that it is quite easy to deanonymize someone with very little location information.

On top of that, every call or text goes to another device. If it goes through another core network, most call metadata is still collected, logged, and sold.

If we accept all of Cape’s claims, it’s significantly better than any other carrier I’m aware of, but it’s still far from what most people in this community would consider private.

It sure revealed something about the person who used ChatGPT, so mission accomplished.

In market terms, bad news was already priced in. The fact that the steep drop wasn’t as bad as some analysts predicted means it was better news than expected, so the stock went up a bit.

It’s usually harder to do for admins. They’re usually the ones who do the suspending.

Okay, partial failure. But they ended up with an epic Viking burial at sea!
