  • Picking up the guitar again

    Gemini comes through again. I don't know why I even bother with web searches anymore.

    I’ve moved off of google searches almost completely. The exceptions are things that are faster there. Example, a quick F to C conversion - google comes back instantly, AI thinks a bit.

    That said, these days the first thing Google shows you is what Gemini thinks about your search request, which is often helpful.

  • Is he healing Ben Sasse?
    KlausK Klaus

    I assume the Christians among his base won't appreciate that kind of humor?

    I have little doubt that he considers himself to be some kind of Jesus.

    Does anybody have any contact data for Shy Sotomayor? Asking for a friend.

    You need to make your photo puzzles way harder. You can post a photo of a local cat and somehow the folks in this forum will figure out within 20m where you are.

  • Interesting re MAGA for the post Trump era
    KlausK Klaus

    @Tom-K said:
    Trump did promise all of that stuff but every politician promises a lot of stuff. That's just politics. The fact of the matter is that neither Trump nor Harris nor Biden nor Newsom nor Vance nor anybody else who you elect is going to give you anything. It is just the way it is. But that's always been the way it is.

    That argument is sounding more and more lame. Just because previous politicians lied sometimes, it's not OK to lie all the time. Every major politician did something so bad it was unprecedented at the time at least once. But it's different if a politician does this every day. Degree matters. It's not the same.

    @nobodysock could you please stop posting these long LLM transcripts? I don't think anyone besides you reads them. It's annoying.

    Fun! I guess I'm glad my position is non-cancellable, unless the whole country ceases to exist.

    I'm surprised that cassettes beat vinyl. Well, there are two ways to read the graph, and in one of them cassettes beat vinyl.

  • The Bitcoin/Crypto Thread

    OK, yes, there are some quite useful application domains, but in the public media it is often presented as an "everything will be a million times faster" thing, which is completely false.

  • The Bitcoin/Crypto Thread

    Quantum computing is way overrated in my opinion. Even if we'd have working quantum computers with millions of qbits, nothing really extraordinary would change. We'd have to upgrade some crypto technology to be quantum resistant. We'd set a few new records in finding large primes. And a few narrow applications, such as certain simulations, would become faster. But it's far from being a general purpose "make my program run faster" machine.

    @jon-nyc said:

    Well it’s not technically just in its current form.

    Shor’s algorithm breaks the math underlying most public key cryptography. But today it requires millions of years of computation whereas a sufficiently powerful quantum computer could do it in hours or less.

    With a 500K qubit computer, which is completely unknown whether that's ever going to work. Nobody knows whether quantum computing will ever be practically useful. I highly doubt we'll have a 500k qubit computer in the 2030s.

    Also, cryptographic algorithms can be changed. It just requires a "hard fork" of the blockchain.

    Errh.... you can take an arbitrary set of five cities and find a 4th degree polynomial that lies perfectly on them. Maybe this is supposed to be a nerd joke?
