The EU disallowed it and Meta had to pay a fine for sharing data between Facebook and Instagram. So I hope it won’t happen.

I meant from a user perspective. Sending images doesn’t work half of the time, the search is completely useless if you have tens of thousands of messages etc. I use it every day btw.

I really want to like it, but from a technical perspective, it just doesn’t work well tbh.

Every other year the EU tries to pass another mass surveillance law - and the EU court of human rights rules it illegal.

Pretty sure a court told them to.

Maybe I just mixed up the fact that proper industrial use is vastly overestimated/overhyped with that there is little use. I will do some research.

I don’t think I was talking about this, interesting. Because in the video I mentioned she was fine with trans athletes competing together with cis athletes, which seemed very progressive to me. But I’m happy to be proven wrong.

Thanks for this productive discourse, not ad hominem at all. You’re welcome to criticize my views and I’m happy to learn. And I am doing my physics masters, so I think I am no complete idiot. But this is also not productive.

Edit: I’m focusing on cosmology, I’m not claiming to be a quantum computing expert. That was just my last state of knowledge and I’m always happy to learn.

Are you talking about her video on trans athletes? I don’t remember it being transphobic.

She might have strong opinions on particle physics and I do take them with a grain of salt, but I don’t see objectively wrong things in there.

I am a physicist and truly appreciate the effect of quantum computing on our simulations, but with “real world” I meant proper industrial use. And for that, there are hardly any algorithms known except Shor’s. When the CEO of Deutsche Bank says he will do his bank transactions on a quantum computer, you know the topic is over-hyped.

Edit: A video that explains this by a theoretical physicist working on the foundations of quantum mechanics

Currently, there is basically only one real world application we really know: Factoring numbers into prime factors. And we can’t know for sure whether there will be more even.

Watch everyone forget that correlation doesn’t equal causation when it confirms their biases.

For me, it works terribly. Like 1 in 2 times, it just doesn’t work at all. My girlfriend’s Pixel 6 and its under-screen FP is much more reliable.

It is such a great phone, but the fingerprint scanner suuuucks…

I think the main advantages over C are:

• better tooling
• modern syntax
• by default, pointers must be non-null. You have to specify if you want to use null pointers
• better exception handling using the functional style of exceptions-as-values

There are probably more, but those are the ones I remember.

I know that. But we still need to support the companies that do shit we want, so it’s more profitable to do so.

It is Bayerische Motoren Werke. Funnily enough, that’s wrong orthography, it should be Bayerische Motorenwerke, so you have a point.

I recently was in the BMW museum and they actually had a whole section dedicated to their Nazi past and how they want to never do that again. Do with that what you will but at least they’re not shoving it under the carpet.
