Surely this comes from the American, not European point of view, yeah?

Super super cool. I don’t have a need for this since I have a nice modded 3ds lite, but the youtube on one screen and gaming on the other is absolutely sick. The screen size and color depth looks great too.
Does it have an SD card slot? I didn’t see it on their site but I assume so.

That’s fair, Shor’s algorithm would probably break a bunch of older encryption. It’s a little further out of reach, in terms of feasibility but who knows how fast it could speed up

That’s how it’s been explained to me by laymen many many times. Just casually (ish, I have a math degree) looking at the math, chatting with a friend who is a quantum physicist, being involved with computers, etc I find that Grover’s Algorithm is not at all capable of something like that. I’m not sure there’s anything better in terms of breaking encryption
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grover's_algorithm
Grover’s algorithm could brute-force a 128-bit symmetric cryptographic key in roughly 264 iterations, or a 256-bit key in roughly 2128 iterations. It may not be the case that Grover’s algorithm poses a significantly increased risk to encryption over existing classical algorithms, however.[4]
I am stoked for what it could do for protein folding, or other heavy simulation work, but in terms of proper encryption I don’t believe it actually will change much.

Nah I’d put money on it being quantum computing. I think quantum has some neat applications, and the tech is cool as hell. But I think it’ll be sold like “this is gonna instantly transform business overnight” and people will try to sell quantum computing power

I’ve had a lot of trouble getting started with this. I have 4 figures of hours into Factorio, I LOVE 2D side scrollers. Any advice? Maybe it’s like starting build problems or something

- Comment on Data Shows That AI Use Is Now Declining at Large Companies 1 month ago:
I was working in pure software engineering and we had to attend a meeting/presentation about some use cases for it.
It’s one of things that any useful tech would never need. Do you think the airplane, the cell phone, the internet, any other useful tech you can think of needed brainstorming sessions for use cases? Hell no, they couldn’t implement their ideas as fast as they wanted because the uses are so obvious

US ex pat living in Europe: 100% agree. I’ve actually not had a single person be mean or negative about where I’m from. Either jokes about how it’s going or more likely, curiosity about how things actually are.
It’s just like if you meet a Russian who left. I would hope you’d have the nuance to think “oh, they escaped, fantastic for them and I’m so sorry about their country” not “oh they must love Putin”

In case you don’t know your Bible stuff
May his days be few; may another take his place of leadership. 9 May his children be fatherless and his wife a widow. 10 May his children be wandering beggars; may they be driven from their ruined homes. 11 May a creditor seize all he has; may strangers plunder the fruits of his labor. 12 May no one extend kindness to him or take pity on his fatherless children. 13 May his descendants be cut off, their names blotted out from the next generation. 14 May the iniquity of his fathers be remembered before the LORD; may the sin of his mother never be blotted out. 15 May their sins always remain before the LORD, that he may blot out their name from the earth. 16 For he never thought of doing a kindness, but hounded to death the poor and the needy and the brokenhearted.

Silksong news, probably??
Oh wait, autopilot.
- Comment on Hollow Knight: Silksong Sparks Debate About Difficulty and Boss Runbacks 2 months ago:
Let me start by saying I have a few thousand hours in Hollow Knight and I do for the most part enjoy the Git Gud type of games.
There are entire genres of games that I can’t enjoy because they’re too open/chill and if they had a hard mode I would probably really like them. This is the same problem the other way.
Maybe wait and some modders might make the QoL parts you want available, maybe never play it, maybe watch a streamer do it. But not every game has to be fun for everyone.
- Comment on Gamers frustrated as Hollow Knight: Silksong crashes stores on launch 2 months ago:
I noticed, and did a lot of refreshing to eventually get it (over 2 hours after launch) but mostly it’s just funny and so so cool that a few Australian guys can make a game and it takes down every store. Straight badass.

Same, right back to it but now there’s a ghost item in my cart. Maybe this is worse than having it

I agree tech bro wise completely. But there’s all sorts of Engineering strides to come still. Plenty we don’t yet know about.
But computing has been a solved problem for many years on all but the most intense levels. Since then silicon valley has been desperately trying to hang on to their former glory days like a has-been football player in his 50s
