  • I'm probably in the same boat as you, I have zero formal CS education. The way I originally learned was various: by embarking on small projects, fixing broken computers so I could play games, reading books, watching videos. The key thing in learning any subject is to recognise that when you don't understand something it's usually because some foundational knowledge is missing. You cannot properly understand a computer file system before you grasp the concept of binary numbers, bits and bytes, for instance.

    Lately I've been using Chatgpt. You can ask it to write code in any language. Ask it to solve a particular problem and then start dismantling the answer, step by step. When you don't understand the answer, ask it to elaborate. For your purposes, you could ask it to script a port scanner on your home network. This is key skill for any aspiring hacker and if you can get that working on your LAN, those principles can be adapted to WAN. Get a copy of the CIA vault 7 library, ask chatgpt to explain snippets of the code. I would imagine you have to preface your questions as coming from a 'white hat' perspective or it may balk.

  • A basic grounding in computer science would be a good starting place.

    Do you know the difference between the various processor architectures and operating systems? Do you know the difference between real time computers and interrupt based systems? Are you familiar with the seven layer network model and which layers the different services interact with the hardware and application software? Are you grounded in cryptography and the system of public and private keys, modulo operations, prime number factorisation?

    This is assuming that you already understand coding and are proficient in at least one language. None of these skills and knowledge on their own are indispensable or completely necessary but these things are what computers are made of, how they communicate and how they are secured.

  • The English are slowly fading into obscurity. They became hugely powerful during the hegemonic colonial era and that shine diminishes relentlessly year on year. These people cannot change and have consistently failed to take the necessary action to reform. Ironic that they took the word 'reform' to create a party that attracts reactionaries and racists to lead them backwards into obscurity. Good luck English people, you will need it.

  • The premise of most of these type of arguments is that intelligence is something we can measure. Meanwhile, nobody knows what's going on inside their own brains, never mind other species.

    Until very recently we just assumed that animals don't have a complex inner life because it doesn't superficially resemblance our own. It's also convenient to make that assumption if you're going to industrially farm those animals or destroy their habitats, etc.

  • Obama breaks silence on Trump’s ‘unimaginable’ presidency

  • He campaigned explicitly on a platform of change and then proceeded to install a cast of deeply entrenched establishment figures to shore up the establishment at the expense of common people. Classic switcheroo.

  • The British seem to be particularly bad at big infrastructure projects. The computerisation of the NHS was a debacle, for instance. HS2 has fallen massively short. The people in charge don't understand technology and are not good at taking advice.

  • Unbelievable arrogance. None of these people have any idea how these weapons work but they want their grubby little fingers on the button.

    Violent hegemony is the solution to every problem because when all you have is a hammer, every problem looks like a nail.
