1. You setup a server at domain.tld
2. Your account is named Bob
3. Go and browse any mastadon instances you please- easy to find on Google.
4. You follow someone by copying their @username@domain and pasting it into your instance. Basically like following a blog with RSS
5. You can now see their posts and interact with them. They will see you as bob@domain.tld

That's area; another thing to look at is how much distance it spans. It's nearly as long as the US is north-to-south, from Maine to Florida, so it covers a lot of total area (much of it water) and has highly varied climates.
Acknowledging the mass extinction event that we caused is sensationalism? We've completely fucked the climate in a bad way, and are triggering the complete destruction of entire species on a daily basis. Denying that is the actual ridiciulousness. So I will ridicule as I please.

I never tried alcohol and never felt compelled to.

As a kid I wondered what's happening with those drunk people I had a chance to see. So I read some books in library about alcohol (my mother was librarian, so that was my internet back then). It all just made sense and I decided that don't want to even try. I was asked to try alcohol by parents and relatives, I was ridiculed and insulted by classmates (drinking somehow was a sign of being cool for them), but I didn't care - I knew how it works, and I didn't want it in my life. The same goes for any other drug, of course.

The whole concept of using poisonous chemicals to alter your brain state was and still is very alien to me. I just don't get it. Willingly disrupt your body's functions on a cellular level hoping for something good, while all the scientific evidence points only to the bad? Still don't get it.

I do get the social benefits part, but I think it's hugely exaggerated. Yes, being drunk seems to be like removing your psychological self-defence, which builds trust, especially in a high-stake business relations. But it's not the only way to build trust, for sure, and definitely doesn't justify the damage alcohol does to the body.
Data science as a title has bifurcated several times. A lot of the engineering heavy DS roles are now data engineer or machine learning engineer. Probably those are the roles you should be looking for. Many of the DS jobs now are essentially analyst jobs, where SQL and stakeholder management is 75% of the role and writing code is just a bonus.

Data science isn't going away. Leadership is always going to need numbers explained to them, but DS roles have never been as numerous or as well paid level for level as software engineering.
We're talking about I/O here, so we're already outside the domain of functional programming: It's necessary to specify where the output is supposed to go, and that's what format's first argument is for.

If you want purely functional string creation, #'format can handle that by passing it nil as its "where" argument.

In both cases #'format does the same thing; the only difference is where the output goes. If #'format knows it's operating non-functionally it can avoid consing up a string and send its output directly to the destination. So it's not necessarily the case that (format t s) creates a string at all.
Sounds about right. Awhile back I noticed the LastPass password generator was not in fact outputting a random password but that at least a few characters of the password followed a predictable pattern.

I reported it and it was fixed, but it's beyond me how a supposedly security focused company can let such a severe bug in such an important yet simple feature get to production.
Martinis are like boobs. One isn't enough and three is too many.
Area can be cheap depending on where you go. Cost breaks down into a few components: manufacturing, transport, and installation. All three are impacted by weight.

They weigh less, so there are less raw materials involved. So you would expect that to impact production cost. Also, with flexible materials like this, they likely get produced on rolls. So machines might be a bit different and maybe run a little faster/efficient and use less energy and other resources.

As for transporting, moving something around that weighs a lot less is obviously going to be cheaper. And this sounds like it is also a lot less fragile so you can go easier on the packaging too.

Finally, for installation, not having to move around panels that weigh tens of kilos is going to be easier and quicker and also require less in terms of mounting infrastructure, roof preparation, etc. I could see this shave off some hours.

And of course the usable area improves too if you reduce weight. You could probably install this on walls even. And there are plenty of nice empty walls in most places.

So, yes, weight is a big deal.
Oh I didn't know I could do that, thanks. Yes I have a GPU. I'm on the M1 Macbook Pro.
Password managers are "obviously" the solution - in my experience they generate good passwords that are accepted almost all the time now days.
However, I still think 3rd-party password managers are too complex for many people, and those people are the ones who need them most. OS-level password management is a bit easier but not great. Browser native password managers are a terrible idea IMO, for people who can't handle a 3rd party manager, imagine their confusion when only a specific browser knows their password, and only when they signed into their browser vendor account.
I think OpenAI has already published some research showing humans preferred smaller/fewer parameter models that were "better trained" through the use of human feedback.

If there were a model that could adequately replace the role of the human, then that approach would probably work well.
In the space of one human lifetime maybe someone will invent a warp drive. I can't prove it won't happen. But since we're not making any concrete progress towards that goal it seems highly unlikely.

Same thing with extending human lifespan to 150. Let's see some actual scientific evidence. Otherwise it's just an expression of faith.

Block chains are a bad case for democratic operations in that you can prove how you voted, particularly through sharing your private key. I think it's essential that you can do that, or the block chain doesn't work?

As a robotics engineer I don’t think it’s true that “if it were a robotics problem it would be solved.” Robotics for non industrial uses are basically in their infancy.

Also I am of the opinion that the best way to make a meal is a purpose built series of small machines to perform different tasks. So you have an onion preparation machine which peels and cores the onions and maybe also performs onion-specific slicing. You have a vegetable washing machine to wash potatoes and carrots and zucchini etc. You have various cutting chambers that feed in to various cooking systems.

Doing all of this is possible today and I don’t believe it has to be limited to the low quality food you mention. But developing all of these specialized systems is extremely expensive. I actually really hope to work on all of this stuff as a massive open source project once my open source farming robot project gains enough traction. I literally obsess over this problem.

Otherwise you could imagine something like a pair of robot arms and a vision system on a track in a normal kitchen, but again robotics really hasn’t been able to produce functional or affordable human like hands, and the software to handle them is also in its infancy (that part is an “AI problem” though.

Anyway robotics is extremely expensive and low minimum wages means it’s cheaper to abuse migrant workers in the kitchen than pay for all the R&D necessary to really solve these problems.

But my hope is that an open source project could get the ball rolling and then the costs required to finish everything could be spread among many different groups once the basic concept is proven.
I wonder if the bail condition was set this way as a condition of agreeing to be extradited from the Bahamas without resistance.
a random word, like "dog" or "pingpong" is fine if the pqsswords are salted and hashed appropriately. how often have your accounts been hacked this way? if an adversary is really banging on the hash, and they want it, any password under around 50 characters is as good as "dog", and no "complexity" meter is gona cut it.

You really need to provide some sources for this claim; it's outlandish and unreasonable because it varies so wildly depending on what you mean by "appropriately". This isn't magic, it's math, and we know how fast computers can do specific kinds of math under specific conditions.
Depends on the materials. Organic solar cells already exist. You'd expect those to be biodegradable or at least easy to recycle or dispose off.

> if its that "dog" is a weak password, i thought that was evident

You're confusing me. First you say that "dog" is just as strong as any other password, now you say that it should have been evident that it's a weak password. Which is it?

> my point is they are equally trash

This again sounds contradictory, but this time within one comment. First you say that horseloverwhatever is stronger than dog, but then that they are equally "trash".
hmm, I think most spyware apps still work without google services (on GrapheneOS), but you'll have to go without notification, among a few other things. If you need a tracking devi.. cough.. googled phone for work only, you can consider using a separate phone for it, and a personal degoogled phone.
> yep, most of the discussion about passwords completely miss the point. a random word, like "dog" or "pingpong" is fine if the pqsswords are salted and hashed appropriately. how often have your accounts been hacked this way?

A word like "dog" or "pingpong" is favored in a rainbow-table type of attack. Nobody pre-hashes "109231oijoasdfnaisdfabatteryhorse123".

And yes many passwords have been hacked this way [0].

So it's hard to understand the point you are tried to make. Why don't you try again and expand on "modern brute force techniques" that could crack a password 50 characters long? More productive endeavor and benefits the board.
What is their to give up? CZ knows how to run an exchange and SBF doesn’t.
This particular tool is misleading at best. It counts only characters, and so misleadingly overrates passwords which are strings of words.

Obviously in terms of the overall contents they are not the same - even eventually. Alcohol contents can be the same but the rest of the drink can not be discarded from the equation. For example, my body react poorly to high amounts of sugar, so drinking a sugary cocktail is vastly different from a shot of tequila. Beer instantly makes me feel bloated, so if I drink 2 pints of beer to match a glass of scotch, I will feel slow and foggy, not upbeat and sociable.

The fact is, those design changes did not happen, and not because they were not thought of. Rather, management rejected adding them in each case, in detail.

Fixing faulty engineering processes has been demonstrated. Management, not so much. We have sound reasons to believe no systematic management improvements would be evident in future nuke projects.

You mean the shockingly civilized society that is a drug trafficking capital of the world with a recent spate of mafia murders? The one with 1.55 births per woman?

I always laugh at dying European societies that consider themselves "civilized" vis-a-vis the rest of the world and can't help but lecture everyone else about how to structure their society. It reminds of Borrell's "Europe is a garden, the rest of the world is a jungle" remarks, which went live before his recent bribery scandal.
There's practically no basements in residences in lots of Texas. In Houston a lot of the city is literally only 10-15ft above sea level, the water line is often close to the surface. Coupled with lots of rain and flooding, it's not a good idea. Then in North Texas, expansive soils are then a challenge. There's lots of shifts from drought to wet seasons that'll quickly start crushing those walls.

It's definitely possible to have basements, but it's something only the exceptionally wealthy would even bother with.
I love straight edge music. Some of my favorite memories of the early 90's are from living in a squat where we would get some money together, get a keg and get trashed listening to Fugazi's Repeater.

I got the exact opposite advice decades ago if you want to remain technical. If you start becoming the company expert on their business processes as a programmer, time to move to a new company.

> uniquely long-term risks for mistakes or natural disasters.

Fossil fuels have unique long term risk WITHOUT mistakes.

Hydro has incredibly high risk for long term destruction and has proven it often.

Even pro renewable people agree that gas will need to stick around as backup, so gas infrastructure needs to stick around, with incredibly risk of accident and gas leakage.

A unique vulcanic event can make solar massively under-produce and if a society doesn't have enough backup it can have incredibly severe long term consequences. Such a volcanic even is probably more likely then a major failure of a nuclear plant causing much risk.

An extraordinary storm could do the same for off-shore wind.

> That doesn’t mean we don’t need to use it but there’s a lot of extra precautions needed around how fuel is refined, transported, used, and disposed of which nothing else has.

And the others have huge AMOUNTS of waste that needs to be refined, transported, used and disposed off. A lot of those are not well captured and there is little regulation to control that. Wind turbines don't exist for that long and when they fail they have a unique disposal situation.

Nuclear at least has a fuel that is 100% captured at the end of use. And nuclear reactor itself is tiny in the amount of resources required. A modern next generation reactor isn't much bigger then the next generation off-shore wind plants but produces 100x the energy at higher capacity factors.
Funny, sure. But you still can have the same transaction by hashing "CorrectHorseBatteryStaple" then comparing with the stored hash.
I certainly feel ostracized for not having a Facebook account. Chambers of Commerce, Community Groups, and it feels like most queer people expect you to be on Facebook, and if you aren't your on the outside.

That's my experience in finance, as well. Jim Cramer mentioned that when he interviewed at Goldman, they asked him what he planned to do when he left Goldman. Lots of people hit comfortable retirement money at Goldman in their late 30s to late 40s and pivot to working in the public sector.

I went on a tour in Cambodia through a company that donates a portion of its profits to local schools. The last day of our tour, I had dinner with the guy who started the company, and it turns out that running a business that benefits one of the poorest countries is his soft retirement after leaving his position as an MD in Goldman's London office in his mid 40s.

I left Goldman for a hedge fund, but if I didn't have a kid, I'd be soft retired by now.
I accidentally quit smoking weed when a high dose of some other drug insensitized me to its effects completely.

I've asked people with relevant knowledge a number of times if that is a known effect of that other drug or if they had found a similar case, but apparently I'm just an anecdote, so excuse me if I don't share which drug it was. It could made more harm than good. Since there are ongoing studies on all kind of forbidden substances, it will surface eventually if it has merits beyond a casual interaction.

The experience also made alcohol useless, but I was a heavier user of weed at the time. A year later the buzz for both weed and alcohol returned, but I'd had enough time to ditch them as an habits, so no weed and only low-grad alcohol, always socially.

Overall, I'm very happy with the change. I see weed defended with good reasoning (not as bad as alcohol, creativity-inducing, anxiety relief, etc.) but over a certain threshold dosage, it's a net negative for most people and the nice effects quickly fade in a couple of months of heavy use.

Many old reactors sell energy at very good competitive prices. French people still have low energy prices because the nuclear reactors operated signed long term supply deals.

The US has some reactors that are being certified for 80 years now.
The length of the password only somewhat matters for rainbow tables -- they're not limited to dog-sized passwords -- but also, I rarely come across implementations these days that do not use a salt of some kind, which defeats existing rainbow tables. Generating one-off tables is about as expensive as just cracking the hashes directly.

(Then again, the implementations I see are mostly from well-known projects or customers that care enough about security to hire us. It's biased, but I do think word has gotten round about hashing and salting.)

If you don't want to drink and don't think you are missing out, then that's a very healthy choice. No question, and I'm not trying to convince you otherwise.

As to why, however. It's no big mystery. It's "fun", or at least can be. If you don't feel it's "worth it", that perfectly fine, but we all have a range of what's "worth it" and what's not. Ranging from a Big Mac to cocaine.

*To be clear, I fall in the middle of that range. I don't advocate cocaine.

i meant others commonly assume horseloverwhatever is more secure.

to be more clear,

1. dog is weak
2. horseloverwhatever is weak
3. 8randoms! is weak
4. therefore, dog is as good as horseloverwhatever or 8randoms!
5. most account compromises do not even require a brute force (shoddy practices on the backend) making the complexity requirements pointlessly burdensome on the user
6. in cases where you want a password to resist a legitimate brute force, we need to talk about passphrases (ie > 50 chars) or passwordless

Be depressed if that is what it takes for the message to penetrate.
There's important ifs and buts to that.
