I think there's another class of psychoactive compounds in common use in medieval Europe at the time that could explain the dancing plague. Anticholinergic tropanes such as atropine, hyoscyamine and especially scopolamine. These are th

Quantum communications are not totally hidden. True but at the same time we would have to be looking for it but we're currently mostly concentrating on radio signals.

Another possible explanation is advanced civilizations quickly move on to more advanced forms of communication. We're already on the cusp of quantum communication. Would we even still be using radio in 100 years? A couple hundred years

Better yet don't believe things. Know them. And if you don't have a conclusive answer based on the current information available then that's your current answer. Accept it until you know more. Approach the problem logically a

I had a feeling SUSE would smell blood in the water when Red Hat shot itself in the foot. I don't know what Red Hat was thinking. They grievously misread their position in the market and are far more vulnerable than they seem to have r

The default position should always be that the user does not know how to navigate the application. I really wish tech companies would stop designing apps for this mythical moron user who's apparently seeing a software application for

but I've frankly just accepted that emulation will be the best and perhaps only way to play a majority of these titles The problem is the roms can't be 'legally' redistributed and there's no viable way to even leg

I have a hypothesis: this pattern is so common for the simple reason that Java doesn’t have first-class functions. ----- I would put C++ and PHP in second and third place, and they have the same flaw. PHP supports first-class functions.

Is there like a cash prize for solving a major problem with one of Google products? It seems disingenuous for Google to frame this as some academic challenge when it's clearly for Bard, Google's commercial product.

Well looks like the house is on fire. No sense trying to put it out now. Besides fire prevention doesn't stop fires so telling people fires are preventable is just putting them at risk.

But it doesn't necessarily have to be considered 'public data' for Google to be able to exploit it. Google uses opt-in by default for privacy settings and has a long track record of being misleading when it comes to privacy.

YT changed something. I now get a handful of somewhat relevant results that quickly spiral off into unrelated clickbait. A couple alternatives I use are DuckDuckGo's video search or using the 'site:youtube.com' search operato

The payouts are based on what their 'clients' are willing to pay in turn for the exploits. There's just less of a market for Linux kernel exploits. If nation-state actors are involved in deep APT style attacks where they woul

Linux is the just kernel. Everything else in a distro is software running on top of it. Kernel bugs are generally hard to exploit remotely and typically have to be chained with other exploits. That's why there's so many specific p

Site so far seems broken in Firefox with tracking protection set to Strict which I'm positive is not a harbinger of things to come.

But this also seems to be another case of tech companies trying to have it's cake and eat it too like the recent reddit debacle. The freemium model comes with trade-offs and businesses can't have it both ways. 'Free' use

Considering Apple dropped support for 3rd party GPUs and there's no way to upgrade the integrated GPU on the latest Mac Pro I doubt it. Game devs will probably take Macs more seriously and port more games but I highly doubt Macs will b

Most hard ideas can't be practically decomposed. That's why they're hard. We don't have routine solutions for the hard stuff. Also how do you quantify tasks? If one dev hammers out 20 widgets in a day is that comparable

It says you get a certain number of comments also. I was thinking maybe post something innocuous that wouldn't normally get many votes and comments, pay to have the post promoted and track the accounts that comment.

Unfortunately the Windows registry was just poorly designed. Good idea but not necessarily a good implementation. For Linux I think it's a combination of lack of a widely accepted standard and the difficultly of maintaining things like

I've always wondered why we haven't just come up with an actual language with a pseudocode syntax. Even if the focus was on prototyping with the intention of transpiling to a different lang later it seems like it would save us so

I'm assuming the prompt filter system runs independently from the AI system and either the AI is then fed scrubbed inputs or the prompt is just kicked out altogether.

Because open-source models keep catching up faster than companies like OpenAI can stay ahead of the curve. They're generally staying ahead of the curve by virtue of being able to throw money and resources at the problem but they'r

A couple of my goto options are DuckDuckGo's video search or using the 'site:youtube.com' search operator trick for Google Search. YouTube's search and recommendations are largely useless now. YT just seems to endlessly
