  Moab, I think.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If you (a regular American citizen) had actionable, insider knowledge about the US Federal Government/Military and felt the public should know, how would you tell everyone?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s always been broken, disjointed and tribal. You can tell everyone, but many have already known this. Hell, most of humanity is like this naturally.

  Almost every large organization is this way, really. Most of it is just covered up by goverment or corporate propaganda or some weird sense of duty people have to jobs or organizations.

  This ain’t anything new, is my point.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Getting told by Lemmy to stop taking drugs⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, its a hell of an experience many people should have. (Many people probably also shouldn’t.) At the core of it all, I believe that being able to view problems through a very different lense is a big part of how psychedelics work when used for deep therapy. In many cases, I could see and interact with my emotions and feelings like they were an independent thing. I could almost visualize and touch my own emotions. Being able to see through my problems and get closure for issues that were supposed to be long in my past was a very beautiful thing. Trippy stuff, quite literally.

  Also, (and this is really for others that are reading this) I am not really joking with my personification of a mushroom. I used to think that was just some crazy burned-out hippy talk, but there is so much more to it than that. Yes. A mushroom talking is absolutely a hallucination. That isn’t what that literally is though…

  It’s more of a very primal, internal dialogue. It’s like the voice that we choose not to listen to when we have a “gut feeling” about something and can’t vocalize the concern. It’s the voice in your head that always knows the right decisions to make even if we brush it off through a normal day. That is the mushroom talking and it’s got a really powerful voice if you ever choose to follow Alice down that rabbit hole far enough.

  I attribute mushrooms to finally breaking my years long journey as a fairly committed alcoholic.

  The decisions or realizations people can have during an intense trip tend to be really sticky for a very long time regardless if it’s a good trip or a bad one. It’s the nature of the beast.

  But mushrooms be like you described sometimes. I won’t go near the dosages I was taking when I was kicking booze. 1-2 grams every once in a while is just fine for me.

  After my last power trip (+5 grams) I saw what I needed to see and probably will never go in that range again. It was a life changing trip and thankfully not a bad one. However, when the mushrooms speak to you like that, you listen. They told me I was done and I was ready to heal on my own.

  LPT, keep a stopwatch going for psychedelics. I’ll start a timer on my phone when I drop and it helps snap me out of any kind of time related disorientation as I peak. For your average time dilation stuff, it’s awesome. If I can’t see my phone, then time probably is the last thing on my mind.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anthropic’s new AI tool has implications for us all – whether we want it or not⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Most of this is just marketing crap from Anthropic.

  Finding vulnerabilities in code and generating complex, multistep exploits with publicly available models is possible now. This biggest hurdles now is setting correct context and actually knowing what to look for. Any “guardrails” for this behavior are easily bypassed by framing the detection and exploit generation as a valid dev style question in the most difficult of situations.

  They likely just trained a model without guardrails in this case.

  What they are doing here is over-hyping a problem and framing it like they are the only ones with a solution. LLM security issues are more in-focus now that companies have dumped a ton of resources into building AI systems they don’t really understand.

  Not if they are both wrong.

  It’s probably just a rogue hemorrhoid that will just add more stress. Sorry.

  Companies these days do what is right for their shareholders and if Claude makes money, or appears to make money, then the shareholders are happy.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨WMD⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Japan seems to be having more success: futura-sciences.com/…/this-new-japanese-weapon-ca…

  Still, the technical challenges are exactly the same. While I can’t find many more details, it being ship mounted is a significant step forward and it seems to imply that some of the more serious issues have been solved. (A demonstration is just a demonstration and anything other than it being able to hit a target ship is just speculation.)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How does one country prepare to fight the other? With out spies? Like Iran is fortifying against a US strike. But how do they know what we will strike with and vice versa all thru history?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The art of war is extremely complex and there is no way to cover everything in one Lemmy comment.

  However, I can summarize: An attacker or defender simply needs to prevent the opposing side from being able to support a war.

  While there are thousands of different things that can support war, it usually boils down to raw manpower, food/supplies, weapons, energy, logistics and communications. Failing to defend, or not having the capability to replenish/repair those things is usually a quick game-over as those items are highly dependent on the other. Anything that supports those key items is a target of the enemy, so those are the things that are stockpiled, fortified or should be rebuilt quickly.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨My friend is buying a new PC and he is deciding between air cooler and AIO, which should be get?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Air, water, AIO, whatever. If it cools well, use it. I just prefer AIOs and there really isn’t any maintenance, was my main point. There are always tradeoffs between AIO, air or a proper water rig, so there is that. (Fans are crazy quiet these days, but when I made the switch, it was mainly for noise. I always run an overclock, so my fans were always hauling ass which probably isn’t needed now.)

  Ultimately, I prefer AIOs for the way airflow is managed. It’s not better or worse than air in many instances, but I like working with a radiator rather than a chonky heatsink.

  I cannot disagree though: zero maintenance is better than maybe-maintenance. Like I said, it’s about tradeoffs.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨My friend is buying a new PC and he is deciding between air cooler and AIO, which should be get?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I have been exclusively using AIOs for years now. Generally, by the time they need maintenance, its already time for a major hardware update and rebuild anyway. That is, of course, if it is serviceable. This depends on the quality of the AIO you buy, TBH. I had a first-gen Corsair AIO start to get audible air bubbles on startup, but it’s long since been recycled.

  I am sure other people have some kind of horror story about an AIO leaking or something, but in general, they don’t really need to be maintained if it actually is a sealed system.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨hl shirt⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Sick! That would be a fun show. I was able to catch (probably) one of the last Sasha and Digweed shows that are probably ever going to happen and it was a good throwback to younger times.

  Seeing artists now that I listened to during the birth of the rave music scene, now that I can afford it, is amazing. Unfortunately, it reminds me of how old I am. The last Sasha and Digweed show was packed full of people my age and it was exactly like an old-school wearhouse party. (The after-party even went to 6-7AM.)

  (I didn’t take them) But we even had random people basically just shoving free pills (supposedly molly) at us too. Chances are it wasn’t malicious, bit more of a “spread the love” vibe.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨North Carolina (NC) is just built different⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The south can be really tribal like that. Once someone gets hooked on the southern baptist group-think schtick, independent thought is near impossible. I ain’t saying that is the case for all people, but if Bojangles being a sponsor of NASCAR is important to your life and belief structure, odds are fairly high that someone else is making decisions for you.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨North Carolina (NC) is just built different⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I am from NC, believe it or not. People can identify with whatever they want, but it’s kinda silly when they are identifying with a company that really isn’t southern any more.

  It’s kinda like how people are dedicated to their home NFL team when none of the players are from that area. It confuses me, s’all.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨North Carolina (NC) is just built different⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Totally had me fooled with the truck that is driving backwards dumping spice out of its front.

  Bojangles was founded in NC but the company has been shuffled through so many investment firms now, it’s basically just a brand with zero soul.

  Yeah, cats make everyone and everything adapt to their environment. You have to completely go outside the environment to avoid their influence.
