That’s a weird way to agree, but ok.

I’m not saying binary computing is the tool of the devil. Well, maybe Windows.

Yeah totally agree. And I guess it’s all down to the astronomical amount of guesses it gets to make in a given second. Sort of like contemplating infinity, but with words and testable.

Well shit, that was fuckin’ interesting.

Yes, AI is evil. So is facebook. But the engineering is still interesting.

Reader, they did not.

People, people. This is WIRED.

This is what they do.

1994. “Here Come the Zippies”

Still got 69 billion more to flush while shitting on the Constitution.

Great job MAGAts. Fox News. “Man-o-sphere”. Aunt Bertha.

Great job.

So why did they allow this to happen? In my view it started because the usual Big Tech suspects saw passkeys as an opportunity to enhance their ecosystem lock-in by adding another repository of important data that they manage for the user in their OS product, instead of it being a separate ecosystem managed by a piece of hardware that the user purchases such as a Yubikey.

Microsoft.

And yet were almost immediately converted to local storage for adoption reasons. Per the article.

Malware installed on a device running macOS, iOS, and Android, for instance, has no ability to defeat this isolation unless the OS itself is compromised through some sort of exotic zero-day exploit. So far, these assumptions have been proven correct in real-world practice.

The lone exception is Windows.

Mmmmm.

Pull the other one, it plays jingle bells.

Wait - they pay . . . for “Premium” . . . and still have fucking ads?

lol

Yeah 10,000 more on Iran Peace Deal in October

While I’m sure that’s true, an actual therapist has training to prevent and overcome the kind of bullshit men no doubt wallow in with their amateur versions.

Only a certain pre-selected set of ones, including: victorious, invincible, sly, brilliant, and suave.

My Unintentional Boycott list is the envy of progressive nerds the world over.

Hey it sure beats talking to a non-dude about . . . y’know . . feelings. Like that’s ever gonna happen.

Sure, next thing you’ll want to convince us the objects of lust are human women with their own thoughts, physiology, and preferences. RIGHT!

For . . . better??

Social media algorithms shape the beliefs people form /// Even small changes to content curation algorithms can shape what people come to believe—for better or worse.

Research Paper.

• Algorithms shape the beliefs people form: Simple changes to content curation algorithms can affect beliefs, consensus, and belief accuracy.
• Personalized engagement-based ranking can be problematic: Although users perceive these feeds positively, they tend to lead to less consensus and less accurate beliefs.
• Consensus is possible: Bridging-based ranking can help promote consensus by surfacing content that receives approval across different groups.
• Belief accuracy can be improved: Intelligence-based ranking can promote more accurate collective and individual judgments.
• Small algorithmic changes can have large effects: Simple changes to how posts are sampled and ranked can substantially influence the beliefs people form.

I wonder why the US doesn’t have this law.

Hmmmm. 🤔
