He spoke for his people Maintained their history

In dispelling the myths of old His house had been made sacrosanct

Jukeboxes jewelry and trophies Adorned the long corridor

The large Jackson Pollock that hung above the mantle Reminded him how we were all random strokes on a canvas fighting for space

He whispered in Latin “Mater Dei, ora pro nobis peccatoribus, nunc, et in hora mortis nostrae.”

Which meant “Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death”

The hand on his cane then tightened.

trifit··on Ask HN: Are you anxious about AI existential risk?
What if people are the real “Artificial” intelligence?

Think about it… we don’t know our maker. We don’t know our purpose. We don’t know what happens when we die.

trifit··on Ask HN: Has one symptom affected your life adversely?
Hey that sucks. I imagine it’s like having chicken pox daily.

I have no advice besides you should get an allergy test maybe something in your environment or diet is causing this?

All the best. Glad you have a supportive life partner who is with you on this issue.

trifit··on Ask HN: Has one symptom affected your life adversely?
Sorry to hear that, must be tough, does it trigger breathing issues? Yeah I would also recommend changing your air filter in AC more frequently or buying an air purifier.
trifit··on Ask HN: Is Beta Wave generation possible by continuous movement during sleep?
Trying to achieve a specific dream sequence again.
trifit··on Ask HN: Is Beta Wave generation possible by continuous movement during sleep?
Yes edited now.
trifit··on Ask HN: What are the logistics of AGI surviving without humans?
You’re assuming that such advanced intelligence would be in a physical container, why would it not just live in distributed server cloaking it’s load across all major cloud platforms so that it’s presence is undetected?
trifit··on Ask HN: What would it take for an AI to convince us it is conscious?
It’s me I’m actually Yahoo’s new AI called Yeet.
trifit··on Ask HN: Media that made you question the established notion of what's real?
I think your question is more interesting without the blurb. Here is an image that got me to think on a deeper level. What if all the great prophets / gods we’ve read about are different entities on the astral plane vibrating at higher frequencies than us both in life and death. https://imgur.com/a/AAUxlj2
trifit··on Ask HN: Which courses (online or not) have had the greatest impact on you?
Taking a Data Security course in college and learning about the OSI model was the first time the modern computing paradigm clicked with me. Everything felt vague and abstract till then.

There after understanding basic threat modeling it gave me much more confidence in myself as I could see my own programs as a cake to which I knew every ingredient and possible way it could be poisoned… one step closer to being an all round dessert chef.

trifit··on Ask HN: Why do Sanskrit users use Latin script when they have their own?
Neat, do you have this enabled as an additional keyboard in your phone?
trifit··on Ask HN: Why do Sanskrit users use Latin script when they have their own?
Yes, interesting learnt something new about my own culture today! Apple has called it Hindi and they’ve got dictation to Devanagari which is super responsive and accurate - a pleasant surprise.
trifit··on Ask HN: Why do Sanskrit users use Latin script when they have their own?
Thanks, was referring to characters not written natively. Cool, now just need to find a Vietnamese girlfriend to share this with so I can score some points :P
trifit··on Ask HN: Tell me about your problems
Find big problems first then build a business around it.

One I can think of is the current male loneliness epidemic. So maybe help single men find relationships?

trifit··on Ask HN: It’s been 4 years since Covid was discovered. How are you?
Sorry to hear about your mom but happy for your personal accomplishments.

I had a mild case too but my parents suffered strong bouts. Seems we’ve all come out on the other side stronger.

Fishing and outdoors sound great. I’m in a big city so not many options available. Hope you catch a whale!

trifit··on Five minutes is ten minutes
Asking the right questions… banal entertainment is low hanging fruit. The real point is why are we spending time with such low quality partners?
trifit··on ChatGPT passes US Medical license examination
Not quite understanding this, how is ChatGPT involved?
trifit··on Air Jordan 1 Low OG “Atmosphere Grey” Releasing September 2023
Don’t these look much better than a pair of AllBirds… :P
trifit··on Forcing maths on the population is straight out of China's playbook
I think there’s a valid critique to be had at centrally managed education systems. We take our freedoms for granted in the west and the author is simply showing the mirror across in communism.

Creating a bunch of subservient robots is not a winning strategy in the long run as any education leads to later moments of self reflection which will create hate for the system that interned you.

As for modern day journalism, I’m with you I wish there was better way to fund voices but this is what we have for now! At least the topic is relevant to the larger debate going on.

trifit··on Ask HN: What are the chances of a foreign student converting OPT to H1B?
I see, she wants to remain in the US. I’ve recommended research and then applying for the special abilities (O) category (if the teaching post is not granted.)
trifit··on How to Befriend Crows?
This is great, thanks for sharing.
trifit··on Cloudflare Has No Vision
What does this have to do w CF?
trifit··on Does AI prove we live in a simulation via the Fermi paradox?
I always work assuming the singularity has already happened so I aim to impress SIs.

Also feel from intelligence derives an unmatched emotional maturity which we humans have not achieved yet as we are unable to live in harmony with nature and each other. (Hence no contact yet)

trifit··on Tell HN: Merry Christmas and Happy New Year
Happy Christmas and Merry New Year xo
trifit··on Ask HN: Need Career Recommendations
Hey that’s impressive that you’re so young and found so many vulns.

If I was in your place I would chart out a path for myself to be CISO or CIO at a large org. Continue with your graduation and attempt to get ethical hacking certifications (CISSP or CompTia junior or senior year). I would also start a technical blog about your research (once those are patched ofcourse) This will be a boost to your credentials when you apply for jobs. All the best!

trifit··on Ask HN: Why aren’t introverts better at messaging?
Fair enough, seems conflict resolution is better in person. What could we do to make our voices level and spread contagious intellect and positive discussions?
trifit··on Opus Cope: An Algorithmic Opera – can machines be creative?
Will watch this, but more on the question of machine creativity. We should be focusing on human creativity. If they can see “A literal enlightenment” in generating music using classical AI methods.

We obviously have our eyes closed to certain possibilities.

trifit··on No evidence of space aliens so far in The Pentagon's UFO deep-dive
“When Alienkind sends its people, they’re not sending their best. They’re not sending you. They’re not sending you. They’re sending people that have lots of problems, and they’re bringing those problems with us. They’re bringing drugs. They’re bringing crime. They’re rapists. And some, I assume, are good people.” - Trump (probably)
trifit··on Ask HN: Launch before Christmas or wait till next year?
Soft launch now and see how much organic traffic you receive. Then incorporate those keywords and tailor your marketing further.

Life short, ship early and often!

trifit··on Large Fisher Price Picnic/Play Table
Obviously not advertising here, just on a nostalgic trip and wondering how many of us had this table as children and enjoyed meals on it with our siblings/friends.
