vaultwarden (an unofficial Bitwarden compatible server written in Rust) has been updated two hours ago via https://github.com/dani-garcia/vaultwarden/commit/2d8c8e18f7... –

- Change default Password Hash KDF Storage from 100_000 to 600_000 iterations

- Update Password Hash when the default iteration value is different

- Validate password_iterations

- Validate client-side KDF to prevent it from being set lower than 100_000

People want these kind of security measures when they buy a game console, because the alternative is easily-modded consoles that people use to cheat in online games. Lots of online games are also not well engineered so cheating can cause crashes and save corruption - for example, modders constantly find bugs in GTA V that can be used to crash GTA Online sessions or even crash single-player sessions where you're playing offline by yourself as long as you're online.
But I think a lot of ordinary people selling stuff on eBay will get this form and think "I have to report this to the government as income." And in fact, what I read about it is that if it isn't all income, you write a note about it when you file your taxes. How many people are going to know to do that? Unless you have actually run a business or are doing $1M transactions, you probably won't understand that selling some used junk doesn't require paying taxes on the "income".

This is a discussion forum in which participants contribute their take on the issue at hand. That was my take, on-topic.

Your response instead attacked another poster, which did not contribute to the discussion at all.
Hmm. I think benchmarking this sort of thing well is pretty hard. I’ll note:

- these clusters are tiny (circa 4 machines). eg one thing that is difficult about looking for alternatives of what we currently have is trying to guess how they would perform at similar size. It is complicating when one requires rack space and millions of dollars of machines for a comparison cluster

- there are lots of tuning options. If another system performs poorly, is that because you don’t have many years of experience of tuning it well

- perf will be quite sensitive to the shape of the data and queries. Here I got the impression that the data is very uniform, there are a small number of different fields, and most fields will be set on each log line. If you have many different teams producing different log lines with different fields, then dense representations won’t work as well as they could for this format, for example.

The experience reports from Uber/cloudflare are useful. One worry is that it is much more common to write a blog post about switching to some new system than to write one about how the shiny new system turned out to have significant flaws that needed to be worked around.

As someone who uses both prisma and knex (so something like kysely):

Prisma is very very nice, it has maybe the best DX out there. My issue with it is performance. It is much slower than query builders or raw sql. It's also a huge black box, although I haven't had any issues, you're dealing with a complex beast.

Knex (and other query builders) is nicer than raw sql, has good performance, and it's fairly transparent (it's not a 800 pound gorilla like Prisma)

ChatGPT3 isn't really the definitive sign of the latter. Its just a stepping stone on the way. As soon as humans discovered differential calculus, that was the genesis to the eventual development of a general AI. Everything else along the way is an issue of optimization and spending raw compute time, whether its done by humans or machines.

There is no right for the timid to receive as much as the bold.

I agree that much evidence points towards the pilot intentionally crashing. However, it's not proven and constructing a story around this theory is a bit distasteful.

Otherwise, the article is quite interesting.
`any` should really be called `every` to match the semantics, it says "this value is an instance of every type, and therefore you can do anything with it".

And you might read that and thing "but that's crazy, its not possible for a value to be an instance of everything!" and you'd be right - the `any` type in TS is in fact crazy and you should not use it.
The example was to just illustrate the general problem. Think of ingesting a whole novel that takes place over a few years. The whole novel doesn't fit into GPT's context window (which is only a page or two of text). So you have to extract individual statements of fact and index over them (e.g. with semantic indexing, or many other techniques).

It's tricky to deal with cases where the state of something changes many times over the course of the years in the novel.

Imagine you ingest the whole Harry Potter series. You ask the chatbot "How old is Harry Potter?". The answer to the question depends on which part of the story you are talking about. "Does Harry know the foobaricus spell?" The answer depends on which part of the story you are talking about.

Whereas for a non-fiction book typically does not contain these temporally changing aspects. In a book about astronomy, Mars is the 4th planet from the sun in chapter 1, and in chapter 10.

There seems to be a knee jerk reaction to react negatively to anyone who doesn't read the article or doesn't read it in depth.

i don't think the comment about TL;DR OR asking chatgpt is completely out of line. I could see businesses being built on top of chatgpt to create summaries of articles on the internet. This is a pretty big use case.

Sometimes, people want a more efficient way to read articles, rather than actually reading them. If a service could be created that summarizes the main point of an article, I think there's value (and a potential business) in it. You might even be able to ask chatgpt or a service on top ofit, "has this article any new conclusions about the state of Mh370?" without actually reading the article.

>This isn't the reason they are making 100s of billions a year.

I do believe that the 're-targeting' Google can afford by having their assets on the majority of sites helps them maximise CPM, which would certainly be a problem for any alternate search engine who isn't interested in tracking people around the web/net. I can't remember specific figures but noted in the UK CMA report that Google generally makes twice as much as Bing on search ads (and worth bearing in mind that much of the rest of the entrants are essentially Bing meta search engines in the West)

But I agree they're certainly considered the best at search in many ways, though the increased CPM they make allows them to be made the default search engine of choice on most devices.

Becomes a bit of a chicken and egg problem when the most prominent search engine can reinforce its position as one.

If your crypto have been stolen by scammers, it can be difficult to get them back. Here are a few steps you can take to try and recover your stolen crypto:
Contact the exchange or wallet provider: If you had your crypto stored in a reputable exchange or wallet provider, your first step should be to contact them and report the theft.
File a complaint with the police: If you’ve been the victim of a crypto scam, you should file a complaint with the police. This will not only help authorities track down the perpetrators, but it may also be useful if you need to file a lawsuit to recover your stolen crypto.
Consider hiring a recovery specialist: There are companies and individuals who specialize in recovering stolen crypto. These recovery specialists may be able to use their expertise and resources to track down the perpetrators and recover your stolen crypto. However, be aware that these services can be expensive it all depends on the company you hired, I will recommend cryptorecoveryservice@outlook.com because their customer service is top notch and they would keep you detailed untilyou get back your funds.
Overall, recovering stolen crypto can be a challenging process, and there are high guarantees of success, if you follow these steps and seeking help from authorities and recovery specialists

They're inherently related. The medium dictates the context of both the questions and responses.

They get the attention and business of people like me who actively avoid vendor lock-in. I'm very open to (and often end up becoming a paid customer) products that have open options, and I also typically bring my org along with me. Most recently I did this with Tailscale. (Note: If not for the Headscale project, I would never have become a Tailscale customer so their openness is gained them at least one ARR of about $2k that they otherwise would not have gotten)

I also tend to self-host my personal stuff but pay for hosted for the business, knowing that if the product changed in unsavory ways (pricing, closed-nature, etc) the business could self-host and escape a hostage situation. It's far from perfect as usually there's a bunch of data in their DB that you can't easily export, but with proprietary/closed solutions that's nearly guaranteed to be the case.

It's recursive in the context of "making sense of TS using set theory". If you understand sets, but not types, statements about "sets defined by types" are meaningless.

> Myth No. 5: Plant milk is healthier than dairy milk.

The author arrives at this conclusion because dairy milk contains more protein than almond and oat milk. Somehow they manage to leave soy milk out of the discussion, which is curious given soy milk contains roughly the same amount of protein as whole milk from a cow, and is possibly the most popular form of plant milk (depending on whose stats you believe).

Not that it likely matters much. They set up a conflict with themselves a few myths later, while breaking down myth #8:

> Luckily, most Americans get more than enough protein each day. “It’s easier than most people think,” Dr. Gardner said.

But back to myth #5,

> While the nutrition of plant-based beverages can vary, Dr. Merrigan said, many have more added ingredients — like sodium and added sugars, which can contribute to poor health — than cow’s milk.

Sodium and sugar are by no means necessary in plant-based milk. If that's any kind of argument it's obligatory to also mention that plant-based milk doesn't contain growth hormones and antibiotic residue.

More to the point, any history of mental illness or treatment at any point in your life can cause you to be arbitrarily grounded in the future, at which point you have to go through an opaque government process that is months long and has no real guidelines as to how to prove yourself.

There is plenty of anecdotal evidence indicating that pilots will seek treatment under false names, or, worse, self medicate with alcohol for what would otherwise be treatable and minor conditions.

When I got my medical I was coached by my instructor to volunteer absolutely no information that wasn’t asked. It was strongly hinted that I should not recall ever having been treated or diagnosed with any mental condition.

> That's more than I expected for a program that's I/O bound.

Based on your description of your methodology and a reasonable assumption that you have more than ~426MB of available RAM, your benchmark is absolutely not I/O bound. Or at least, not bound by the speed of your disk. In your benchmark, your haystack is almost certainly entirely within memory and served from your operating system's page cache. It's unlikely you're hitting disk at all.

And even if you constructed your benchmark such that every search flushed your cache first and forced re-reading the file from disk, it may or may not be I/O bound. If your disk gives you 6 GB/s read speeds, you gotta do better than a traditional finite state machine to match that speed. (That is, probably SIMD.)
