Another Google ad appears: ... Resistance is futile

The Borg still adapt even if they use a randomly changing sequence, which means even in the future of Star Trek, they haven't actually found a way for computers to generate real random numbers and it's just an algorithm to simulate it, which of course the Borg can extrapolate from.

You'd think they'd have quantum mechanics on lock by the 24th century.

I would expect their random numbers to have at least 128 bits of entropy. Evidently, they have 2 or 3.

[-] Swedneck@discuss.tchncs.de 6 points 1 year ago

for all their post-scarcity they ran out of entropy bits in the 2200's and now they have strict rationing

You guys are killing me

[-] Cringe2793@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Don't the borg only adapt after they get shot? They need to experience it to adapt.

[-] nicoweio@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

That's an interesting idea, although I'd say in that case they just "meta-adapted", so that even truly random variations in the same degrees of freedom would not have helped.

Is uBlock going to keep fighting this? Will Google sue uBlock and crush them with it's monopolistic power?

Revanced is still working.

[-] themusicgod1@startrek.website 4 points 1 year ago

just tried watching a video ublock still working here, you gotta select the popover though

[-] FrostKing@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Yeah speaking of, is there a way to disable the pop-up on YouTube yet? I use Firefox and u block

[-] admiralteal@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

This joke is backwards.

YouTube is the one trying to kill an infinitely adaptable adversary they stand no chance of defeating.

[-] starman2112@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 year ago

If you've seen Star Trek, you know that the humans are the real infinitely adaptable adversary that the Borg stand no chance of defeating

[-] MossyFeathers@pawb.social 1 points 1 year ago

You say that but Google is working on shoving a drm scheme into Chrome that'd keep you from being able to modify sites (e.g. ad and script blocking) and, due to the sheer market share that chrome and Chromium-based browsers have, Google can kinda just do whatever they want. Of course, it's ultimately up to the site owners to implement it, but you know probably 90% of sites will use it.
