My therapist says she might have to report my abusive family to the authorities. How do I avoid being reported so the cops don't show up and make everything worse? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.world

You're not a scientist or an expert, they went to study the issue, several years. Do you think you can replace their knowledge with dramatized books or documentaries?

Can a person be abusive, psychopath, narcissist one or the other or in combination without being a serial killer, probably right? and what is the ratio of people who are one of those or a combination that is not a serial killer?

Is it 1/10, 1/100, 1/1000.. you don't know, because you are not an expert. You can be a serial who has not demonstrated any of those traits, because you can be a high functioning psychopath and people don't know you are one.

    Yes you did, your advice was basically, your brother is a serial killer and you should let the therapists contact authority, and you deserve better. How is that not a thoughts and prayers message.

    First of all reading and watch documentaries about serial killer makes you the reverse of an expert, you are now filled with strong bias on serial killer profile, in dramatized version.

    Second you don't know him or the situation he is facing, his asking for advice on how to stop his therapist to go to the authorities because that would according to HIM put HIM in a much worse situation.

    Thanks man real helpful, the words made me not live in a abusive family and cured my illness. Good that you watched documentaries on serial killers, otherwise where could we find such an expert.

    How about the person is in distress and needs some kind of support to avoid a potentially dangerous situation, you are basically telling her that's her problem good luck. In those situations, you don't say anything if you something useful, him or her isn't looking weak emotional support (that makes you feel better), they actually want advice.

    That's what they tell you, but really they hire cheap labor working for pennies in poor countries flipping books. Do you really believe google has Infrastructure to scan all the books in the world in decent amount of time, because I have bridge to sell.

    Dude this is notepad++, no one cares, we all know china Russia, employs multiple teams for hacking. But they still get caught and nothing happens, because they all will deny it.

    This isn't the chinese Uber team, that plans ahead several months, this is more: oh I found exploit in notepad++, via some tool. It isn't worth the effort, because they are just looking for exploits in the wild.

    Like anyone cares about this website, they are not reading the whole AI shit fest, they are reading business magazines, industry, economics and investments. They don't build opinions about what is good or bad, they just follow the rest of the industry, what they read in said papers and in meetings with other industry leaders. Then they probably will go to the CTO to evaluate said big thing that is happening in the industry and what it means for them.

    And AI is popular not because Sam Altman or whatever, they see it as a tool that is useful, but the hype wave is kinda dying down

    The amount of cooling they need for a simple quantum CPU with 104 qubits. Can you even do anything with it that is useful, you can't even brake encryption because you don't have enough processing power.

    The science is advancing, but then as always is the question of, how you scale it to be economical viable, which is a hard problem by it self to solve.

    Don't think the market is interested in tech that they can't hype, or have a natural hype cycle.

    It's a whole science there are multiple techniques involved. Looking up stuff like Path Loss should be a start if you are intressted, you can also probably read the 5G protocol from Ericsson or Qualcomm, to find more details of their capabilities.

    Radio towers are all ready adjusted to the location where they are setup. The signal to you phone has already taken into account bounces, amount of buildings, material on the buildings, how it effects the amplitude, wavelength, signal strength and disruption. And the signal is adjusted to take all those things into account, relative good to send you 5g frequencies with minor issues. They have no issue triangulating phones, trust me.
