Whatever device you’re using to post to Lemmy can easily handle “thousands of transactions per day”. You’re off by several orders of magnitude before transaction processing is a scaling concern.
CDNs exist to reduce lag and optimize media file delivery. They can be decentralized, and internally essentially are, but having a neutral clearing-house helps solve the “leech” problem that thinks like BitTorrent suffer from.
He can try.
Each of the fifty states literally has its own legal system, which are as a rule very particular about the separation of powers.
If Trump signs an EO directing the FCC to declare AI a.“telecommunications” product.that states aren’t allowed to regulate, there’d be that same week ten to fifty lawsuits by the states asserting that the EO was unconstitutional and had zero effect.
What the AI oligarchs want is for the FCC to decide this on their own without an EO, or for Congress to pass a law. (Although Scotus has made noises about lifting what can be done without Congress in other areas …)
As has been said elsewhere about everything Microsoft is pulling:
If your LLM was worth using you wouldn’t need to force anyone to use it.
Graceful degredation is a choice, made in the negative by survivors of the dot-com bubbles that fiercely want to extract a level of customer loyalty that mere “actual companies” could never dream of.
Business software is a weird world. Made weirder than there absolutely are people paid by Intuit (not OP) whose job is to convince people who don’t currently pay for QuickBooks that paying for QuickBooks will solve whatever quickbooks-esque problem they have.
It’s worse in the IT side. I’m modestly sure that COBOL and Java are only still around because of IBM and Oracle sales staff.
(Maybe less so for Java than COBOL. Or maybe Oracle’s sales team is just better.)
Spoiler alert : it was just a survey of the reported confidence of folk who admitted to using AI.
So, AI users exhibit a reduction in literally the one skill that the AI expects them to actually have?
I should probably go read that link and see if it’s actual degradation or just selection.
I see you understood the point made by the example.
For nuclear weapons specifically, the activation code was supposed to be a command and control measure to prevent unauthorized use. Having it both be an easily remembered code and one widely known made that whole system meaningless theatre.
Are there any real-world examples where encryption backdoors have been successfully used without compromising cybersecurity?
No. Adding a backdoor to cybersecurity is fundamentally introducing a vulnerability that can be exploited by an attacker.
A backdoor in your IT security is like a hidden button to bypass the lock on the impenetrable front door of your impenetrable house. Sure, it makes the police serving a warrant easier, but now there’s a button that anyone can push to bypass your door.
What you will find are instances with no apparent violations. Just like setting all the nuclear weapons to have the exact same easily remembered activation code didn’t actually lead to a nuclear exchange.
Do tbey still mindlessly phone home so MS can censor what you do on your own PC?
I mean, isn’t it a usb_c cable that the manufavtuer claims can handle 10 amps of current at once? (which i think may be on the low side)
The article is about decentralization of assignment of IP addresses,.not CDNs or social networks.
It’s like "imagine if you and your friends could just make your own phone system by making up your own numbers without having to rent them from telecommunications companies "
