I pay huge amounts for this organic clumping litter made out of grass that neutralizes all smells and there is nothing you can say that will make me side with your opinion.

Now we all want to know if you have child porn

Don’t use Brave…

Now do the doctor as mini me!

I think you’re taking this a bit too seriously. Risa is a community for shit posting and jokes. We are allowed to make fun of ourselves here.

I think MudMan is correctly pointing out that to travel any slower than light speed through space causes time dilation since space is actually space-time.

There is a trade-off between how fast you travel proportional to the speed of light and how much time a stationary observer percieves to have passed compared to you who is travelling.

When you travel faster than the speed of light, all time and causality breaks down. This is not the case with how the writers of Star Trek wrote warp drive mechanics, this is our best understanding of the actual universe. Einsteins theory of relativity.

Fun fact: Light itself (or its quantized unit: the photon) travels at the speed of light and therefore experiences no time. If a photon is emitted from a star across the universe and travels millions of light years before eventually being absorbed by your eye, from our stationary reference point, the light has been travelling for millions of years, but for the photon it was instantaneous. Zero time passed for the photon. This is the idea of time dilation.

Hey now, that’s way too much actual science theory for a sci-fi franchise 😁

This is a double episode from Voyager where they come across another federation starship, the Equinox.

That class of storage is very expensive to get your data back. Buying a drive will be cheaper.

The dude is a legend. I’ll always remember the smile on his face when the interview coordinator read my comment out loud “Quark is the best character in DS9”.

The countermeasure to the attacks we describe in this paper is well known: implementations should validate signatures before sending them. OpenSSH, the most common SSH implementation we observed in this data, implements this countermeasure because it uses OpenSSL to generate signatures, and OpenSSL has included countermeasures against RSA fault attacks since 2001.

Lets see Sisko’s combadge

Just create a really huge mouse that you can sit on and control with your butt. You could call it a capybara clicker.

I’d just like to remind you that you’re responsible for giving internet strangers like me uncontrollable laughs, warm fuzzy feelings, and a sense of community. Thank you for that. I’m sending my love and appreciation to you in hope that it helps you weather the storm in this difficult time 💙

The NSA buys most of their zero days. It’s no wonder why they have libraries full of them. Finding exploits is a bit different to developing stuff too.

I agree that they have the vast amounts of training data that they could put to use. I would not be surprised if they had a quantum computer that has broken RSA lower bit ranges by now. This was proven in academic circles to be possible and just needed scaling up. The same is true for using wireless emitting devices to see through walls.

I’m almost certain that they have full access into Tor now. I read a while ago that they monopolized many exit nodes. Snowden and others must be using multiple methods to conceal their true locations.

But do they have a self improving AI? I don’t think so. OpenAIs main goal is to create a GPT knowledgeable enough that it can help them improve their own models, AKA reaching the singularity - but with human intervention to prevent a run away effect. Transformer based models are not going to give us AGI. Once the researchers figure out what’s really needed then govt will adopt and scale it. Until then it’s just fancy closed source private versions of what is currently available.

I laughed so hard I nearly choked 🤣

Skully’s looking pretty hot…

Sure, it’s likely government has better software than what the public has access to, but not by that much. Some NSA software has leaked before and it’s just “good” not mind bending. The best stuff often gets created by university groups collaborating with other universities. Government scavenges from these groups. Their research is published in journals before it reaches classified status. Of course there are some military groups and other directly funded groups but what they make is a small percentage of the best stuff.
