it has been amusing watching you try to pretend that you knew what survivorship bias was. first you assumed it had something to do with death. then you invoked the plane anecdote. now you link the wikipedia without realizing that over 90% o

survivorship bias is a statistical error, why would you invoke planes? especially after saying this: Huh? Survival of what? Are you claiming that Democrat fraud was not found only because the perpetrators are all dead? also, you a

such decentralized systems would have to rely on a DHT and the domains would be public keys, somewhat defeating the purpose of a domain. an effort to do this: https://github.com/pubky/pkarr

you might as well call consciousness a soul at this point. something I once wondered about is what a soul can be and what implications it would have. the conclusions I drew is that the entire concept was incoherent. if a soul is so intrinsi

in the limit the honeypots would be dynamic and some of them secret, so at the very least a rogue agent would have a significant chance of stepping on a landmine. this game doesn't favor the agents, the honeypot could be as simple as a

perhaps a solution would be to honeypot the sandbox. if anything touches the honey you kill the agent. also the conclusion to use firecracker or gvisor is obvious, that's what they were made for. it's bizarre to try and escape QEM

2 and 3 are virtually on top of each other. they both use KVM too. technically 2 exposes a slightly broader attack surface due to the tighter integration model. you can think of 2 as what would happen if you take 3 and modify it to share r

GLM 5.2 and 5.3 are exceptional at reverse engineering. you just point them at an IDA Pro MCP and off they go doing whatever you want from them.
