"How do we ensure that privacy is not a privilege of the few but a fundamental right available to everyone? These are significant and enduring questions that have no single answer. But, for right now on the internet of today, a big part of the answer is online advertising."

@foone "Electro-mechanical doom" sounds like regular warfare

Yesterday's Nobel Prize, in "physics," can be questioned as grotesque. Today's from Chemistry - fully justified. We are waiting for literature and "peace". Although we may have to wait a little longer for the latter, and there has never been a peace Nobel for nuclear weapons.

@j_bertolotti I haven't seen the particular complaints you're referring to, but I do feel that an objectively harmful hype cycle seems to have influenced this decision while also feeding the same hype. I think this is a reason for head scratching for many, rather than questioning the significance of the discoveries.

This year #Physics #NobelPrize was given to Hopfield and Hinton for their work on neural networks and machine learning.

Currently a lot of Physicists scratching their heads and wondering how machine learning is Physics, but:
* Physicists have taken Nobel prizes in Medicine and Chemistry a lot over the years, so I don't think it is fair for us to complain.
* Hopfield networks and Bolzmann machines are probably the two most "Physics adjacent" architectures for a neural network.

Overall, unexpected but well deserved.

It's the spooky season, and #Microsoft and #Adobe have released their spookiest patches yet. Two bugs from Microsoft are under attack, and one looks strangely familiar. @TheDustinChilds breaks down the release and points out some deployment priorities. https://www.zerodayinitiative.com/blog/2024/10/8/the-october-2024-security-update-review
