“should we consider whether we’re losing space superiority to the rebels because of doctrinal issues?”

How technology has changed, but also, yes.

Make it work, then optimize it

we should globally ban the introduction of more powerful computer hardware for 10-20 years, not as an AI safety thing (though we could frame it as that), but to force programmers to optimize their shit better

Gen Z Meets Gen X: A Love Story with Rotary Phones

Ever feel like your generational label doesn’t fit? I’m 26, but I feel more Gen X than Gen Z. I don’t mind avocado toast or TikTok dances. But, I don’t want to be known for chaotic memes or short attention spans. Instead, I love cozy nights with ‘The Golden Girls’ and the click of a rotary phone. My love for rotary phones is more than a hobby. It connects us to a past that still speaks to us…

Some of us carefully cultivate the heritage seeds of the dumb TV

TVs and monitors are separate species with common features, but which features these are have drastically changed over time. the two used to be similar sizes with very similar behaviour, and were differentiated primarily by which connection ports they had.

over time, their courses of evolution brought them closer together in that regard, with both species' survival becoming contingent on how well they could digest HDMI. as their analogue prey, such as VGA and Component, died out, the two display species were faced with the same choice: adapt, or die.

despite this newfound similarity, though, the two species still fill different ecological niches, and the way they adapted to these new environmental situations resulted in further physical distinction in other areas. for example, it is now almost impossible to find a modern TV that is a comparable size to a monitor; while the modern monitor is still limited in dimensions by the desktops where it prefers to nest, the modern TV has an almost unbounded adult size.

another strange new differentiation is that the TV seems to have developed a dependence on internet connectivity and software updates. while this benefits them in the short term, having more selling points than a monitor at first glance, it is working against them in the long-term, with each one's effective lifespan being cut dramatically.

the "dumb TV" that, quite intelligently, does not have any big software features, is nearing extinction, with very few members still producing offspring. and while we may feel sorrow for these displays, it is only natural that they are dying off - they are simply being outcompeted by the once-humble monitor. at the same size, and without the advantage of a wider variety of ports, the dumb TV cannot keep up with the monitor's much more refined adaptations for the same niche.

however, one mystery remains: why did the dumb TV never grow to the same impressive dimensions as its smart siblings? some observations suggests that the larger smart TVs have become overly territorial as a result of their decreased longevity, to the point that they will kill an infant dumb TV if they feel that it could grow to compete with them. it seems cruel to us, but in the wild, it's all a matter of survival. if you win the evolutionary race - you fight to keep first place.

How do any of the characters feel about having Rotom Phones? The older ones I mean, like Professor Oak.

Once upon a time and depending on how old Ash is it could've been VERY recently, Rotom although not Legendary or Mythical certainly were considered very Rare with a special ability. Across all Regions and some more than others. And now everyone goes about with a cellphone loaded with one (free) Rare Pokemon to serve as its AI. Rotoms are now as common as Zubats and in everyone's pocket for non-trainer purposes.

Does it ever hit them in a similar way to how someone that used 120 MB floppy disc drives as a child is occasionally floored by the fact that you can buy 1-4 terabyte harddrives. A gigabyte was once an unthinkable amount of space but no one could picture a terabyte.

For the record: 1 TB = 1000000 MB 1 GB = 1000 MB

Or is it like with touchscreen tablets where they're only a little surprised by it even when they think on the differences? It's smaller, slimmer, more useful than the clunky old PDA devices and early cellphones. Everyone always poked the screens anyway so the controls are intuitive.

Generative AI and Cybersecurity: Anything to Look Here?

We have all been startled by the power of OpenAI’s ChatGPT and its ilk of Generative AI tools, like Google’s Gemini or Meta’s Llama. One crucial question is can these be weaponized to make our cyberspace more insecure? I will reflect on three primary aspects of this question.  First, there is some evidence that these can be used for generating phishing emails [1], or more generally,…

IBM Cybersecurity Basics: Free, Online, and Self-Paced

I wish I had a course like this 20 years ago. I could have prevented being a cyber-victim.  I grew up in an era without computers, even without electricity or TV. My entertainment came from the radio and books. It wasn’t until my postgraduate years that I encountered computers, thanks to studying at a university with mainframe systems.  Fast forward to 1980, I got my hands on an XT PC, which…
