  • Microsoft CEO warns that we must 'do something useful' with AI or they'll lose 'social permission' to burn electricity on it

  • "Cognitive amplifier?" Bullshit. It demonstrably makes people who use it stupider and more prone to believing falsehoods.

    Demonstrably proven, too.

    EEG revealed significant differences in brain connectivity: Brain-only participants exhibited the strongest, most distributed networks; Search Engine users showed moderate engagement; and LLM users displayed the weakest connectivity. Cognitive activity scaled down in relation to external tool use.

  • The dosage needed to cause a change in Alzheimer's would have a serious health risk of brain bleeding.

    Do all of these drugs have this risk? It starts to line up when it was alleged Trump's team freaked out about Trump apparently having a 'mini-stroke' whilst meeting Putin (someone else in this thread), and when Trump was photographed earlier this year with a visible facial droop on his right side...

  • I'm a cyber major, but what should I minor in?

    Jump

  • Any Cyber professionals think I should just go all in and minor in IT or CS? Or does spreading out a bit more sound good?

    Learn programming in your own time, as there's ample resources to learn languages common to cybersecurity (C, C++, Python,

    <insert instruction set here>

    Assembler (if reverse engineering is your thing)) outside of college/university.

    Pick something that makes you different and marketable against other cybersecurity majors. Given the way the world is going, look at political science, organised crime, or even counter-terrorism, as all of these have streams, if not rivers, into and out of cybersecurity these days.

    It provides a much broader context around your cybersecurity studies, other than just being a technical resource, by understanding why threat actors use technical means to attack, rather than just 'how' or 'with what'. Minoring in something other than a technical discipline would broaden your career options to policy roles, among others.

    All that said, the minor subject(s) you choose must interest you. Japanese would be really useful to have in a cybersecurity role as it opens doors to communicate with other cybersecurity experts in their own language, including government authorities. Such skills may be desirable by the intelligence community, though I'd be wildly speculating here.

    Use your minor to help you expose niches in the discipline that can help you pivot your career, and set you apart from an ocean of dime-a-dozen cybersecurity experts who just did broad, common, technical studies.

    A word of advice: Play the long game. My advice may not immediately come to fruition when you land your first paid gig, but it will definitely become a useful playing card as your career develops, providing you maintain those skills. Hell, they don't even need to be part of your minor subjects. Learning Japanese outside of college/university will still make you marketable.

  • Bannon Claims ‘There Is a Plan’ for Trump to Run for a Third Term

    Jump

  • That's what I would've thought...

    Though would the vehemently anti-paedophile Deep State suddenly forget about Trump when the Epstein Files are released?

    I'm genuinely not so sure their blind faith in Orange Jesus will remain resolute when even MTG is demanding their release.

  • Bannon Claims ‘There Is a Plan’ for Trump to Run for a Third Term

    Jump

  • Here's a thought...

    Let's say someone - like JD Vance - wins the presidency on an 'I'll resign on Day 1 and nominate Speaker Trump to take my place' ticket (assuming the succession rules are changed too).

    Why would he? Why would someone willingly give up the unchecked power of the most powerful person on the planet?

    We've seen just how completely broken the U.S. is now, effectively having a king thanks to the Supreme Court. The first 'official' act of this new President, before they chose to resign, would be to release the Epstein files, arrest Trump, and put him on trial for all of his crimes.

    That way they keep all of this unchecked power to themselves.

    The two-story East Wing was added to the White House in 1942 primarily to cover the construction of an underground bunker, now known as the Presidential Emergency Operations Center (PEOC).

  • Have you ever cheated on a test?

    Jump

  • I knew of someone who kind of did, depending on which way you look at it. Only for one question though...

    He noticed that the answer to a single question, was literally written on his otherwise exam-compliant calculator a few weeks before the exam, for high school math. The question often came up in practice tests. This calculator wasn't programmable (in the sense you could store answers).

    The question?

    How many kilometres in a nautical mile? Answer: 1.852.

    He figured out that the numbers in the centre row of the calculator lined up exactly with the decimal fraction:

    7 8 9

    4 5 6

    1 2 3

    So he drew a line around the calculator pad to link those numbers up. None of the teachers picked it up, as it looked like graffiti.
