boatswain@infosec.pubto politics @lemmy.world•Trump Threatens to Launch DOGE Investigation Into Elon Musk, Send Billionaire ‘Back Home to South Africa’41·8 days agoHow would that work? The President is the only one who can issue pardons, I thought.
boatswain@infosec.pubto Technology@lemmy.world•Doctors are using unapproved AI software to record patient meetings, investigation revealsEnglish8·14 days agoScheduling would not be fine; under HIPAA “provision of healthcare” is considered PHI, so knowing that person x had their care at a certain time and place would be a problem.
boatswain@infosec.pubto Board Games@sopuli.xyz•Board games with emergent complexity?English14·19 days agoI’ll throw in an answer from a different angle: social deduction games can be incredibly rules-light while still maintaining a lot of complexity. Resistance, for example, has not too many more rules than Go, but games can get deeply complex as players try to figure out who the spies are.
The big difference is of course that the complexity offered by something like Resistance is the product of imperfect information and willful deception, which means that a good ability to read people (or conversely, to lie) can be at least as important as strategic mastery.

Still not a bad idea to change passwords and make sure MFA is enabled.
boatswain@infosec.pubto ObsidianMD@lemmy.world•Which is the correct way to create bullet points in Markdown — using spaces or tabs?61·19 days agoI believe either will work, so your call. If you really want to spark a tabs vs spaces holy war, I’ll throw my vote in for tabs: they’re semantic, whereas spaces are not–the meaning of a tab is “this is one level of indentation”. Using spaces for indentation is like using
<span class="italic">
instead of<i>
for italics.
boatswain@infosec.pubto A Boring Dystopia@lemmy.world•Trump’s EPA to “reconsider” ban on cancer-causing asbestos16·20 days agoIt is banned; they’re talking about un-banning it
Because of studies like https://arxiv.org/abs/2211.03622:
Overall, we find that participants who had access to an AI assistant based on OpenAI’s codex-davinci-002 model wrote significantly less secure code than those without access. Additionally, participants with access to an AI assistant were more likely to believe they wrote secure code than those without access to the AI assistant.

boatswain@infosec.pubto Technology@lemmy.world•Researchers Scrape 2 Billion Discord Messages and Publish Them OnlineEnglish12·2 months agoThat would be equally annoying. Probably a better signal to noise ratio on IRC though; Discord descends into memes almost instantly.
boatswain@infosec.pubto Technology@lemmy.world•Researchers Scrape 2 Billion Discord Messages and Publish Them OnlineEnglish141·2 months agoSeriously. It’s beyond painful when some open source project only uses Discord for communication. You have to hope that you post your question at a time when the right people are online, and that there’s not a more interesting conversation going on, otherwise it just gets lost. Index that whole dataset.

boatswain@infosec.pubto Laptops Community@lemmy.world•Turns out Janet Jackson's laptop-crashing cursed bassline was the scourge of notebook makers for at least half a decadeEnglish12·2 months agoJust FYI something “reeks” if it smells bad; “wreak” is pretty much only used with “havoc” and means to cause (generally harm). English is weird.
boatswain@infosec.pubto Linux Gaming@lemmy.world•Help with Cyberpunk 2077 on MintEnglish4·2 months agoI’ve seen other reports of this issue for nVidia cards; people are reporting that updating drivers helps, but it sounds like you’ve done that. If you’re going as far as reinstalling the OS anyway, you might try out a rolling release distro; I’ve been enjoying Garuda quite a bit, and I’ve heard good things about Nobara and Endeavour.
Nah, go there and then start organizing with the warehouse workers to get them paid as much as you’re being paid to do their job.
