ah yes, now I know why you could power a fountain with my blood pressure

oh boy i do love dealing with university software infrastructure

I'm only paying lisp service to John McCarthy

guy who, when he hears someone mention SARS, thinks of deep Q-learning

“I wouldn't trust her—I heard she's antisemiotic”

why is https://www.gwern.net/Embryo-selection also tagged “anime”? Gwern, do you want to tell us something?

i imagine that arriving at vibecamp, the first thing you hear from afar is a chant: “Hot Moloch! Hot Moloch!”

concept: schelling.pt meetup at 0°N 0°E (Null Island)

with boats

but maybe there's some obscure way to route around those concerns?

but in that case, I'd worry about bugs in the obscure implementation of that feature.

how do whatsapp/signal/telegram desktop clients work? you'd basically either need to transfer the private key (in which case the encryption isn't e2e anymore?), or generate new keys for every device.

we can't do it with cookies holding the private keys, since many people block cookie usage & cookies are readable by anyone. we'd need to have local storage that the server authenticates for, otherwise any server would be able to read out the private key from storage via js & send it to the attacking server…

as far as i can see, client-side e2e encryption in the browser requires *a bunch* of changes to browser tech?

additionally, some countries (*cough cough*) had some, let's say, embarassing behavior in the world wars

the Losskreuz

so that's why i think (at least some) european countries are (at least somewhat) more hesitant to go out and intervene in the affairs of others

(don't talk to me about muh pearl harbor, that's a blip compared to what happened in europe.)

on the other hand, the US comes in and there's already a conflict going on elsewhere, it's not quite clear why it's happening, but it looks like it's bad, so “we can go over there and shut up the bad guys” *star spangled banner blares*
