Net losses im afraid. That said the recent anti flock movement is promising

Yep. This is why politically advocating for privacy by default is so important, albeit its not going well lmao.

Sorry I don’t know anything. Will let you know when I learn something

Reminds me i needed to do laundry 2 days ago

Ive successfuly eliminated AI/chat bots completely out of my personal life. It was far far too much work. Well not that much, but if someone is tech illiterate its gonna be hard. Which unfortuntely is large swaths of the population.

Got a new email address with a provider that doesnt use AI, and also got the thunderbird client. Also changing the default search engine to no ai duckduckgo. Finally, going to linux so I dont have microsoft banging on about copilot. Well tbh i didnt go because of AI, its just that I liked the look of it and had heard that windows 11 was terrible.

Might be doing a masters next year and god I hope that isnt a problem. Im sure it will be, but one can hope

Only have messenger left. Considering doing another push to convince my stubborn friends to go on signal. Then I can finally be rid of meta

In my town, some lefty but also quite a few one nation farmer voters (one nation being australias trumpist party)

Generally surounded by socially liberal / left wing.

Exception is my dad who’s sort of fashy at times, which I do hate him for

Yeah I can see why you would be jaded about it

I do like external validation although I welcome being challenged aswell. I do also like discussion and empathising with people.

That is to say I am a social creature that evolved to be social, and although lemmy isnt socialising its pretty close (at least to my creature brain).

I very very rarely get anxiety attacks its just a low level continous anxiety

My ex and I broke up for a few reasons.

First I think we couldnt handle conflict, in the sense of bringing it up even if it was needed.

Second, we lived far away. This one definitely effected it a lot, as its hard to not see them as a friend u meet up with occasionally.

Third, I came out as trans, so we both made the decision it was best to move on since my ex is straight.

Currently we are just friends, which is for the better.

Energy requirements scale exponentially on a polynomial time algorithm? That doesnt make sense. I admit however I have only studied quantum computers in relation to what they can do, not how. But I hope what I am saying makes sense.

Not a physisct, so I dont known how much scaling of quantum computers can actually be done

With regards to extracting the private key from the public key, to my knowledge there is shors algorithm that runs in polynomial time on a quantum computer that solves integer factorisation.

Solve integer factorisation in P and you break RSA in P. I believe there are similar P algorithms that run on quantum computers for the discrete logarithm problem and elliptic curve discrete logarithm problem.

In this sense, if you scale quantum computers resources enough you break modern asymmetric cryptography.

With regards to breaking AES: Quantum computers halve the security. So 256 bit security goes to 128 bits. Still secure.

AES 128 goes to 64 bits of security. Hmmm maybe not secure anymore. Have a read of post quantum cryptography and shors algorithm to see what im on about

EDIT: added important details

Edit 2: so so many typos

They have to decline or stabalise at fucking point, since we cant have 10 trillion people or something on the planet. Truthfully we just need the brains to figure out how to run our economy without an unending supply of increasing labour.

My grandmother used medically assisted dying. Such a good thing. She died as peacefully as you can, rather than of her stomach ripping apart from the cancer.

Well monsters need hugs too!
