I try to contribute to things getting better, with sourced information, OC and polite rational skepticism.
Disagreeing with a point ≠ supporting the opposite side, I support rationality.
Let’s discuss to make things better sustainably.
Always happy to question our beliefs.

4·1 day agoFrom the context, it seems pretty obvious they were clowns.
Reminds me of a first year of middle school personal anecdote. At the beginning of the school year, our literature teacher asked us to do research about a subject and present the results.
It was the beginning of internet at home, so almost everyone came back with literal web pages printed, thinking they had done well. The teacher was furious about this “demonstration of laziness” and started to go through the students one by one and handling 0/20 grades for the assignment, like a gardener carefully pulling weeds one by one, savoring each wilt. Occasionally she would praise the few students that took time to manually write down their research.
I was in the back of the classroom, so analyzing the situation quickly and sweating, I started to furiously handwrite to a Seyès ruled paper the Wikipedia page I had printed (with the help of my father), cut the one picture and glue it to the paper. I managed to escape the culling with a good enough grade.
Her last name was that of a fearsome wild animal. It was her final year before retirement, and as the year went on, we realized she was actually a very conscientious and caring teacher.

I think a file delete just removing an adress and not the actual data is common to all OSes. That’s why to safely erase data from a disk it is recommended to fully overwrite the disk with random data, potentially multiple times.

Technologie - 🤖@jlai.lu•"C'est un bouleversement radical" : qu'est-ce que le "Q-Day", ce jour que redoutent les experts en cybersécurité ?Français
1·6 days agoJe pense qu’il y a des programmes basiques qui fonctionnent en laboratoire. Mais il y a beaucoup de travail pour sortir ça du laboratoire et le rendre économiquement viable. En outre, pour l’instant ce sont des problèmes très spécifiques, principalement lié à l’exploration massivement parallèle d’un grand nombre de combinaisons d’après ce que je comprends. Donc on est aussi loin d’un impact notable pour l’informatique du quotidien.

2·7 days agoCa me semble plus productif que les LLMs perso. On devrait grandement gagner en efficacité énergétique sur des problèmes sérieux comme la recherche de médicaments ou l’optimisation de chemins grace à l’exploitation de propriétés physique plus fondamentales, plutôt qu’en construisant des centres de données toujours plus titanesques. L’obsolescence du chiffrage classique est une conséquence négative, mais elle a déjà ses solutions comme expliqué dans l’article. Par exemple, mon VPN chez Mullvad supporte déjà le chiffrement post quantique par défaut depuis pas mal de temps.
En outre, l’informatique quantique pourrait aussi améliorer les technologies de protection de la vie privée en permettant de garantir si un message a été intercepté ou non (la moindre observation perturbe un système quantique), par exemple lors de l’échange de clefs de chiffrement.

Agreed, but adding that tech companies often provide the choice between Windows and Mac, both being very locked-down of course. The only place where I was able to work with desktop Linux were research laboratories and early stage startups that are too young to bother with all the IT locking down and would rather give their engineers whatever they prefer, which serves as a cheap benefit compared to big companies.
