Physics@mander.xyz•Physicists Discover Universal Laws Governing Quantum Entanglement
7·3 months agoThis study is the first example of applying thermal effective theory to quantum information. The results of this study demonstrate the usefulness of this approach, and we hope to further develop this approach to gain a deeper understanding of quantum entanglement structures

Today I Learned@lemmy.world•TIL you shouldn't bring camouflage on a cruise.English
40·4 months agoWhy Cruise Ships Ban Camouflage
The camouflage ban is not a matter of dress code, where the nautical sea-dogs in their pristine ship’s whites turn their noses up at certain sartorial choices. It’s actually much more practical.
In a lot of countries, particularly in some cruise-friendly areas like the Caribbean, wearing camouflage is illegal as a civilian because it’s part of a military uniform. Think of it as being akin to impersonating a police officer; it’s really not the kind of confusion—or trouble—you want to get into on vacation. Even camo patterns with non-traditional colors beyond the usual brown and green are not allowed.

Technology@lemmy.ml•Blue-collar revenge: The things AI can't do are making a comeback
91·4 months agoPaywall, so replying based on the headline:
Blue collar jobs are not a holy grail of safety from ai or refuge for prior white collar workers who have been displaced.
- You can’t just suddenly become an expert in a physical job, electricians require trade school and apprenticeship, heck even the easiest jobs in the construction world, painting or hanging drywall, require expertise and a random qa engineer will be genuinely terrible at the job.
- The culture of blue collar work generally incredibly misogynistic and requires a very hardy insensitive personality for women especially. There’s this sort of cultural inertia that has seeped into many blue collar jobs that sees a lot of love for trump and hate for soft handed people (the irony is incredible)
- Supply and demand are not just principles of product sales, a sudden massive influx of blue collar workers will push down wages for everyone, an economy requires balance and adaptation, there is never a single golden answer
- some blue collar jobs are more likely to be replaced with ai than others, but pretending that all blue collar jobs are perfectly safe from the impending storm is an uninformed and irresponsible take. Are indoor painters of new builds safe for now? Yes. But you can feel quite comfortable assuming that if some company comes out with a bot you can rent that does a phenomenal job at painting and costs 1/5th of a human painter the owners or managers of the companies who were contracting out the humans will absolutely switch to bots. Money talks and maybe some will hold out for a while but eventually other companies will offer their services for cheaper because of the cheaper labor and the human workforces will be unable to compete.
- blue collar jobs generally pay less and the future prospects compared to white collar jobs are significantly different. You don’t start out as a framer and end up as a partner, the attitudes of the managers of construction companies and similar often simply view the laborers as replaceable machines.
- blue collar workers sucks, for many you work in crazy harsh weather conditions (outside in 100 degree f) the jobs often require heavy physical labor, your coworkers are often drugged up conspiracy theory nutjobs, there are no watercooler breaks at 10am, you work hard or you get yelled at or fired. Imagine being an hvac repair technician in the peak of summer. Where exactly do you think you’re going to be? In the hottest part of the house in stifling conditions with all the pink fiberglass insulation without any ppe, all goddamn day.

7·5 months agoFiverr and upwork are the standard starting places, their policies of keeping contractors on the site are rough, the cut they take is rough, and the competition is rough.

Privacy@lemmy.ml•Is there a way to block browser JavaScript from executing commands that retrieve sensitive information from my local machine, while still allowing JavaScript that is only used for rendering web pages?
3·6 months agoYou could monkeypatch some javascript functions like the constructor Date types, but there will always be things not thought of that will leak date info. Hardware identifiers are quite difficult to get in javascript and several browsers already obfuscate that info.
Honestly if you’re very concerned, I really do think a virtual machine is your absolute safest approach, obviously the browsing experience is worse.
Check out amiunique.org to see what fingerprinting is generally available in your current browser

2·6 months agoJavascript can’t generally access your local machine directly, but scoped local data like cookies are available. What in particular are you nervous about? You could run your browser in a virtual machine?

Unfortunately the neural network of the worst among us wouldn’t be eliminated, just augmented, see the self proclaiming elon musk. Asd or not humans are still human, we all have our struggles and demons.

Quark's@startrek.website•Teachers Are Not OK - AI, ChatGPT, and LLMs "have absolutely blown up what I try to accomplish with my teaching."English
1·6 months agoFrom the article:
Kate Conroy
I teach 12th grade English, AP Language & Composition, and Journalism in a public high school in West Philadelphia. I was appalled at the beginning of this school year to find out that I had to complete an online training that encouraged the use of AI for teachers and students. I know of teachers at my school who use AI to write their lesson plans and give feedback on student work. I also know many teachers who either cannot recognize when a student has used AI to write an essay or don’t care enough to argue with the kids who do it. Around this time last year I began editing all my essay rubrics to include a line that says all essays must show evidence of drafting and editing in the Google Doc’s history, and any essays that appear all at once in the history will not be graded.
