I edited and rephrased a lot of my posts and the other replies and maybe my though process is clearer now. I didn't word it all too well, forgive me for not being a native, I strug…

> I think there's a good question about whether people can tell you're anxious at a glance Which is why I linked the nature article? It's plain obvious an interesting point I tried…

The article describes how neurotypical people, i.e. the average Joe would come up with a decision to like or not like a person based on first impressions before the person being ju…

Curious, yet the most people suffering from anxiety as secondary comorbid psychiatric condition are the depressed, autistic and ADHD sufferers. The article is definitely a mental h…

Quote: > Why else would someone be so anxious about how others see them? The scientific consensus would tell the author that judgement in humans happens already the moment they see…

The (very weak) Caesar cipher was used in ancient Rome though and cryptography in general way before. It could be a silent nod to how far our achievements have gone and that encryp…

Caesar cipher anyone? Romans knew (bad) cryptography.

No surprise! I assume the average HN poster possesses more ethics than a tech bro. If you ever submit a post about your hobby I'd probably enjoy reading it. Love seeing people buil…

"There is no spoon", or if you prefer the post-modern Baudrillard'ian take: "The territory no longer precedes the map, nor survives it. Henceforth, it is the map that precedes the …

This, especially since I don't want to come off with tech bro vibes by asking "Would you like $thing?": [YES!!!] / [Remind me later™]

Hey thanks for noticing and replying! I approve of your point to curate the members, this is exactly what a friend told me after linking him your post. Fittingly he posted an image…

That was a good read and it resonated with me from personal experience. Often the groups I was in were fragmented or I'd be suddenly invited into a second group with someone else r…

Thanks for getting ahead of me. I add their competitor MS doing the same even more openly: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/topic/microsoft-swiftkey... Always assume companies w…

Okay this was a tough read even if not bad. Allow me to elaborate why I struggled reading it, especially with inanimate or non-thinking objects "having no incentive". A plant's gen…

I read the actual open access paper: https://opg.optica.org/oe/viewmedia.cfm?uri=oe-33-11-22154&s... Note if you look at the paper, you notice a close but not entirely perfect norm…

Oh really? https://www.computerweekly.com/news/366617630/German-court-f... Actually the reality was the honeypots were illegal to use as evidence in court. So these criminals are n…

The central problem here is this: In the Physicists from 1961 (German: Die Physiker, F. Dürrenmatt) the central theme is that scientists cannot "uninvent" something. Encryption is …

Mill my own flour? I'd call that the "Carl Sagan fallacy" for the lack of a better name. We don't have to "[first] invent the universe from scratch to make apple pie". Even if that…

Imagine we could run the backup server backend self-hosted and FLOSS. Like Vaultwarden, the upstream bitwarden client API.

Even automatic backups run at intervals to cause less server load. The article says you absolutely have to write down your restore key too (They say notebook or PW manager). It may…

Speaking of 4chan, I actually found an IRL friend there through commenting on /g/. We both wanted to try the TOX messenger and its various spin-offs. Then we took it to Steam and n…

So you want 10,000 law firms run automated AI crawlers that churn through the server quota of mostly innocent people in the hope they can find something for a takedown? I don't thi…

Does an attacking bot know your webserver is not a misconfigured router exposing its web interface to the net? I often am baffled what conclusions people come up with from half rea…
