Best I can tell, there really aren't on, at least on humans.

That is, by all credible accounts, completely unsupported. He's a well published researcher, yes, but he's not a medical doctor, and those who are, especially oncologists, are, at best, skeptical, and find it hard to take him seriously when he associates - proudly - with people are are, unambiguously, quacks.

As soon as he claims that cancer is one monolithic disease, and that his special diet should be used instead of chemo and radiation, plus the claim that the entire medical profession is engage in a massive conspiracy to kill people for profit with treatments that he claims don't work, I can't take him seriously either. Saying shit like could easily cost him his medical license - if he had one.

Lately seeing crazy interactions from customers where they are given instructions in a couple of paragraphs and turn around and do something completely different. Or they will ask a question when the answer to the same question is in the preceding sentence written in nearly identical language as their question. Numerous customers have started doing the equivalent of looking for the "any" key / reading teleprompter instructions aloud.

I'm not all that sure what is going on. Is it coincidence? Are people farming everything out to AI assistants or have they've lost their minds? While there have always been dense and incompetent people I've never seen anything quite like the last few months.

Altman has publicly said the quiet part out loud speaking of genies that can grant any wish. Personally looking forward to sleazy billionaires with god complexes getting what they have coming to them once the bubble bursts.

You should talk to Peter Thiel about having him install you as the next VP. You'll fit right in.

There are thousands of open weight models available for free download from hugging face and inference software to run them is all open source and runs completely offline. Why would anyone use closed source malware with an insane "privacy" policy? I don't understand the point of this or what value perplexity thinks it is even offering.

You're promoting your blog, self-promoter.

I agree, that's what I initially thought as well. A backdoor is supposed to be a built-in feature, possibly covertly added, but a designed-in part of the software nevertheless. This sounds more like a particulary sneaky remote access trojan.

You have to wonder though, if it is behind a NAT and Firewall like most PCs, how does it receive the magic packet if it doesn't phone home? It must be designed to be used against a specially targeted victim.

In this case? A dunce hat. You're a troll/imbecile. You didn't even try to respond. Go sit in the corner and suck your thumb. The adults are talking.

Are you saying those who disagree with H1B immigration policy are racists ? Is that what you believe is the most salient fact about H1B visa holders ? I seriously doubt anyone would care if they were white Romanians driving down wages, but I guess if your whole world view revolves around race and grievance, maybe it make sense to you.

That is pretty much how I feel.

To be fair, it is not that humans cause the CO2 emissions what makes them deadly. It is the extreme volume in such a short time that is the problem. If this were a normal climate-change event, it would take 10'000 years or longer to get where we will be in 100 years. The deadly aspect is the speed.

Obviously, the denier morons cannot tell the difference between 100 and 10'000 years. Too complex a question for them.

AliExpress is an intermediary. And it allows me to buy the same stuff I would buy locally, just a lot cheaper and with reasonable shipping fees.

You you think buying the same things at artificially inflated prices is somehow "virtuous", you need to have your head examined.

And make some stupid claim about some "anomaly". The "anomaly" is that probably that I use AliExpress only on a Linux machine with no audio in the Kernel.

Wrong. The number of Qbits is not scaling. It is slowly very going up. It would need to go up double-exponentially (!) to even give us liner improvement in computing power per unit of time. It does not even go up linearly with time, it is _slower_. Hence we will never even see enough effective Qbits that can stay entangled long enough to attack currently secure cryptography. The Sun will explode before that happens.

That said, QCs will _never_ break AES256. This universe is to small for that aver happening. The QC effort for that is 2^128 and no computing mechanism will ever be able to do this number of steps.

What really astonishes me how confidentially clueless people like you are. You do not even understand the basics and yet you make gande claims.

:frowns:

I thought Chrome devs went hard on fuzzing API's after the timing attacks went big ... circa 2020.

Back to the drawing board.
