I was just reading "Science", saw another article on "quantum computing", and blew my top. For I know there is no such thing.
The guy who told me "linear algebra in complex Hilbert space" shows there is such a thing must have thought that clever. But it proves people do not see the difference between PHYSICS and FORMALISM. The linear algebra is merely obfuscated probability theory, which physicists (rather insanely IMO) mistake for "entangled states"...
Sicim Teorisini de Boyutlarını da 10 Dakikada Anladık
Ben hâlâ anlayamadım!
Yıllar önce Membran Teorisini duyduğumda çok mantıklı gelmiş ve Sicim Teorisi ile ilgilenmeyi bırakmıştım
Çünkü Membran Teorisi bu Sicimlerin birbirine bağlanarak bir zar oluşturduğunu iddia ediyordu
Hâlâ Sicim Teorisi ile ilgilenmek -daha İnsan bedeninin neye benzediğini anlayamamışken- deri yerine hücrelerle ilgilenmek gibi bir şey değil mi?

Exploring a new model for a Theory of Everything where properties like mass and spin emerge from a resonating fundamental field in a discrete vacuum. What are your initial impressions of this framework?
If you've turned it off it will stay off...
... but it will be on.
@drmakimber - yes, people can't resist making technology more complicated and 'moderniizing' it, even at the expense of proper functionality. For example there are still bad chairs: you'd think the problem of making a good chair would be solved by now, but people keep trying new designs, and many of them are bad.
Technology that uses electronics is infinitely more problematic.
So the ability to understand which technology we're using, tell if it's on or off, and turn it on or off, is not a privilege we have anymore.
@rossquantum @priryo @johncarlosbaez
As long as courts held the companies responsible on things they say while speaking on record, it doesn't really matter either way.
@rossquantum @priryo - I guess you've heard of the "dead internet theory", which claims that most supposed humans on the internet are fake.
"The dead Internet theory is a conspiracy theory that asserts, due to a coordinated and intentional effort, the Internet now consists mainly of bot activity and automatically generated content manipulated by algorithmic curation to control the population and minimize organic human activity. Proponents of the theory believe these social bots were created intentionally to help manipulate algorithms and boost search results in order to manipulate consumers. Some proponents of the theory accuse government agencies of using bots to manipulate public perception. The date given for this "death" is generally around 2016 or 2017."
Others think it's not dead yet, but is dying.
It's official: Gemini is now spyware.
Tuta have provided some guidance on how to uninstall Gemini, without 'rooting' the device.
If you have Samsung, you don't have Google Android, but Samsung's Android. Samsungs Android and apps have worse spyware situation than Google.
This is black mark for Google, but Google is still preferable to Samsung or Xiaomi from privacy and security standpoint.
@tinkel @johncarlosbaez I rather have some data leak to Samsung than to Google. It's why I bought Samsung in first place and prefer to use Samsung functions and services over Google's.
Also, Secure DNS with Hagezi Ultimate filtering saves.
@johncarlosbaez FAANG needs AI for as the current buzz to keep their "growth" classification as a stock.
So they will push AI into anything (expect AI powered Google cereal boxes), usually in a way where you produce as many as possible interactions, no matter if it improves your experience, and about as easy to get rid of as an antibiotics resistant STI.
And the Google C-level-ape next quarter in their investors call: Interactions with our Gemini AI have risen by 93%
Not mentioned: Most popular query, “How do I get rid of this Gemini crap?”
Nice high-growth numbers, not a lie in a legal sense, and if the users hate them, 🤷where will they go? To Apple Intelligence (same 💩even pricier, and in ways more exploitive of the users)?
While there are some odd phones, they are mostly not what I call “wife compatible” (stuff you can buy and give to my wife without getting it back travelling with high kinetic energy into the direction of my head)
We need an open source alternative to corporate shiteware on smartfones, preferably a European model.
Allowing Google and Apple to steal everyone's data through their monopolies is condoning exploitation.
> preferably a European model
Right.
I should have read the European Union AI Act.
Now I can only ask myself how permitted that would be in the European Union...
This makes sense (but is still misleading) if ‘Gemini Apps Activity’ and ‘Gemini for Phone, Messages, WhatsApp, and Utilities’ are separate settings.
To be sure, I can't find either of those settings on my Android phone (a Samsung). Just a generic Gemini Settings which invites me to turn Gemini on. (Perhaps if I turned it on then I would see more options, but I'm not going to do that.)
