It’s physically impossible to intercept an entangled photon without disrupting the entanglement. The act of observing the photon collapses the quantum uncertainty of it’s state, so even the most sophisticated MitM attempt is going to immediately break the link.
Nope, quantum entanglement can’t enable FTL communication. “Real time” still involves lightspeed lag.
What it does is allows random bits of information to be transmitted in an entangled state. You send an entangled pair of photons, and find out afterwards who got a 1 or a 0 when the photons are observed at either end. They call it ‘quantum teleportation’ because both ends know what the other got, and the information about who got what can’t be intercepted without disrupting the enganglement.
Once they can figure out how to preserve that uncertainty through repeaters, switches, and routers, then we can have a quantum internet that uses encryption based on shared quantum random numbers. It’s likely to be necessary soon since quantum computers might only be a few years from breaking current common encryption techniques.
Bazzite counts as a Steam Deck when you’re playing in Steam mode, Linux when in desktop mode.
A “fediverse” version of Youtube already got made and subsequently killed, PopcornTime.
The Bittorrent backbone already has plenty of media and can handle more bandwidth than we’d ever need to throw at it. Encrypted Onion Routing provides a degree of insurance against copyright cops, too. The only problems left to solve are automating the discovery of user-relevant content and avoiding the legal system long enough to write and popularize an open source app that puts it all together with a couch-friendly front-end.
Spotted the Nazi.
Nazis.
Please pay attention.
Nazis.
Please pay attention.
The term is Gerontocracy:
Yeah, Paramagnetism.
It’s the Euphemism Treadmill
Beats the hell out of me. I’ve got no clue how I manage to get anything done at all, my focus just slides right off work.
Never seen that word before and I’m not putting it in my search history, but you are acting like a survey can prove that LLMs are useful so it seems apropos.
Did you know that all reputable surveys publish their methodology?
Did you know that, regardless of how you analyze the results, a survey is still just a survey?
If LLMs were worth the hype then you’d have actual proof of utility, not just sentiment.
Who is “the person in question”? Did you think I was talking about someone specific?
I’m using the term “Nazi” as a shorthand because listing all the fascist ideologies of those who would prefer to see people like me dead would be a waste of time. I feel like this is an extremely common usage that only ever gets challenged by people who are personally invested in distancing Naziism from their own personal brand of bigotry.
I am entirely uninterested in quibbling about where exactly is the line between a literal Nazi and someone who merely acts like one.
It may be a shock to learn this, but asking people things is how you find out what they think, not what is true.
I know proof requires more than just speaking to humans, alas, c’est la vie.
Lol, using a survey to try and claim that your argument is “supported by data”.
Of course the people who use Big Autocorrect think it’s useful, they’re still using it. You’ve produced a tautology and haven’t even noticed. XD
If you have a social media platform then you have two choices for who’s allowed to exist on it.
Either you let the Nazis stay and watch helplessly as they drive everyone they don’t like off your platform, or you ban the Nazis so that you can keep everyone else.
You don’t get to have it both ways. Choosing not to moderate will always create a safe space for Nazis.
People’s wants can be manipulated easily, and there is an entire $500 Billion/year industry in the USA built upon this fact.
It’s time that we admit that what passes for “democracy” in this country is a lie. Voting doesn’t exist for people to make informed decisions about how this country should be governed, its purpose is to legitimize the decisions that the oligarchic owners of this country will make.
“Cisgender” isn’t an insult either, but that doesn’t stop Elon Musk and his flunkies from treating it as such.
Yes, because breaking the entanglement destroys the link between the photons received at either end.
Observing an entangled photon requires extremely precise timing, the lightspeed lag on the line has to be known down to the nanosecond to ensure that the photon received is paired with the photon at the other end. Even if a MitM wanted to try retransmitting the quantum states it observes on the line, they wouldn’t be able to do so without introducing enough lag to desync the connection.
Alternatively, if M tried sending their own random data in sync with the expected timing, then the bits received by B would only have a 50-50 chance of matching the bits sent from A. Any encryption based on that data would almost immediately begin to suffer a 100% error rate.
