This is definitely a common fallacy. While passwords and keys function similarly via the SSH protocol, there's two key things that are different. 1, your password is likely to have much lower entropy as a cryptographic secret (ie: you're shooting for 128 bits of entropy, which takes a pretty gnarly-sized password to replicate), and 2. SSH keys introduce a second layer of trust by virtue of you needing to add your key ID to the system before you even begin the authentication challenge.

Password authentication, which only uses your password to establish you are authentically you, does not establish the same level of cryptographic trust, and also does not allow the SSH server to bail out as quickly, instead needing to perform more crypto operations to discover that an unauthorized authentication attempt is being made.

To your point, you are storing the secret on your filesystem, and you should treat it accordingly. This is why folks generally advocate for the use of SSH Agents with password or other systems protecting your SSH key from being simply lifted. Even with requiring a password to unlock your key though, there's a pretty significant difference between key based and password based auth.

My mother told me that when she was young, tomatoes vere very suspect. So yes, these nutritional advices are very volatile.
I just don't buy that. It's too hand wavey. Natural instinct is to fear the unknown, and to respond quickly to threats. Saber tooth cats roamed the continent too and there is plenty of evidence they hunted humans, along with bears that continue to hunt humans to this day. But there were also dire wolves, giant bison, cave bears, and many other large species that went extinct but for which we have smaller forms of alive today. Something must have occurred environmentally that led to the rapid deaths of large species.

It's also not as if we have evidence of large populations of humans in the glacial era. You would need a modern civilization with at least metallic tools to spread far enough and wide enough to kill off multiple major species.

the most recent one i had at home was the Resident Evil rails shooter for the Wii

it was really fun with a friend
There might not be many new games, but for the old games getting a used crt is free and the consoles are cheap too! I’ve been playing through the ps2 light gun games and it really does feel like you’ve got an arcade at home.
Other than it potentially being abrupt and not on your terms, it's probably for the best
That sounds like black-and-white catastrophizing lacking nuance.

Some semi-centralized infrastructure and development is needed and costs money to run, but the questions unique to each circumstance are: "What do revenue and EBITA look like?" and "How efficiently are CapEx and OpEx used?"

OTOH, if a social venture nonprofit ran a coin with survival in mind rather than get-rich-quick fintech profiteering, it could make a promise to keep overhead low and any sort of profit margins for reinvestment in robustness, stability, features, and auditing controls to a small, fixed %.
If you could reverse engineer the expected signal you could probably make your own gun
It was a major genre on the Wii. The Wii Zapper was an optional attachment that gave the WiiMote a pistol grip. Titles off the top of my head include CoD III, Metroid Prime 3: Corruption, Resident Evil: The Umbrella Cronicles, Resident Evil: The Darkside Chronicles, and House of Dead II & III Return.

I think the main reason that it never took off much was that it kinda sucked. It worked great when it worked, but the tracking was often glitchy and it was super frustrating when you're counting bullets to have the occasionally shot go offscreen. I have a feeling we had a higher tolerance for this with Duck Hunt due to the novelty and arcade games due to the format. (I feel like arcade games tend to avoid showing you a reticle for this very reason, but I don't have data to back this up.)

That being said, I still ended up beating Metroid and both Resident Evils, so they were still super fun!

Also, I was in Dave and Busters recently and they had Time Crisis 5. Beat that too!

It's a necessity, a side-product of not having anywhere near enough nurses, assistant staff and doctors in hospitals. They're juggling alarms constantly (which have to blare in a cacophony) and speed from one patient to the next.

Ideally you'd have a 1:1 (or better!) assignment between a single patient to a single nurse in critical care, 1:3 for patients that can't move around on their own (and thus need more assistance, even if it's just helping them to eat or go to the loo), and 1:5 to 1:10 for everyone else. The sad reality is that even in Germany, you have care home staff calling in the fire department to assist because there were just three staff in a night shift, having to deal with 170 patients.

What exactly is the relevance of this question to people living in 2024?

I mean, I cook 90-95% of my meals from scratch with the odd canned ingredient and for the rest, rely on healthy-option microwave meals or a sandwich to stop me slipping into snacking for the times when depression or tiredness do not allow it, which keeps a latent eating disorder at bay.

But people who eat a lot of fast food do not always do so out of laziness. Large numbers of city dwellers barely have access to a kitchen, e.g. at least 1.5 million people in the UK and probably more like 3.5 million live in HMO (multiple occupant) accommodation that does not have a private kitchen; those people are lucky if they have access to their own hotplates.

It doesn't matter what people did before fast food. It matters what people can find now, in the life that we have now, as an alternative to fast food.

Just telling people they should cook their own meals from scratch is not good enough.

That is why the question of fast food now being a "luxury" is so interesting.

Because it likely means people who relied on fast food to meet dietary needs -- even fairly healthy fast food like fresh sandwiches (in the UK meaning) -- are now eating something worse, not something better.

It's naive to assume it will -- or even can -- lead to a renaissance in home cooking.

What about the inverse? Humans expanded to the Americas after megafauna populations were reduced. Its easy to look at things like poaching and assume humans have always been the dominate species. But megafanua like moose or brown bears are still dangerous, even today.
What transition plans do you recommend for coal producing counties? The issue is that these coal counties get fucked (for a lack of a better words) with coal and without coal. With coal every family suffer generational health problems. But atleast they get to eat and live. Without coal they do not have an economic system to make a living out of it. During the colonial times (here we go) the Bri'ish forced Bengal farmers [0] to cultivate indigo which caused literal famines. They could not produce food crops and colonialist didn't bother to compensate the farmer obviously. Then the farmers got "fucked" over again, when industrial revolution resulted in creation of artificial indigo and farmers struggled to make a transition to another crop. Now, your average WV native is far from a Bengal peasant but idea of policy based restrictions on making a living can be compared. My argument is that broad sweeping policies about establishing how people in particular regions make a living needs to carefully evaluated. Now, I am not for or against coal at all. Coal producing counties are always marginalized and politicians rarely care about them except for election times. For/against coal does very little in terms of coming up with a solution. If you are against coal present a solution on how these counties can transition to making a living without being relocated.

So let me get this right: you're only PRETENDING to be wrong and stupid, so you can laugh at us for thinking you're wrong and stupid. Wow, you totally owned us by acting just like a teenage boy! I get it, now that you've admitted that you're just playing a trolling game, and don't actually believe anything you're saying, just like those teenage boys whose behavior you're defending and emulating. So there's no point in continuing making those arguments you don't even believe yourself.

I'd say exactly the opposite. It's because human speech is about the world, and LLM speech is about human speech, that LLM speech is about the world, by transitivity. "The ball fell to the <floor>", the LLM predicts, ultimately, not because of any feature of the human brain, or any feature of the English language, but because of gravity. That the causal arrow passes through a human brain does not make this any less true! Because human speech is inextricable from physical reality, language models likewise learn to model reality. They learn this poorly, incrementally, making missteps on the way - granted! But that they learn it at all shows that there's more going on than statistical modelling - or that statistical modelling of language is more than it sounds like.

That's really the problem many here are describing. 60601 mandates what alarms shall be active, but it spans a single device. If you have, e.g., 10 ventilators in a room that are alarming, you can't silence them all with a single button press.
Is that something that needs to be considered separately, since the operation factor is given in % of hours per year?
Is this not just the same question as for decades?

Which is cheaper, a peaker plant after the transmission line hitting peak capacity, or increased transmission line capacity for a small percentage of the time?

Now it's just battery storage instead of natural gas peaker plants. You can still smooth out the transmission line capacity with downstream storage.

Or have we already done that to the max with peaker plants and now transmission lines are running at their capacity 90% of the time? I haven't read the numbers in a while, it used to be really bad!

Spent several years writing and editing my first book before thinking the job was finished when I hit the publish now button. But it is literally only half the job done.

The hell now is unless you get friends and family or an agency involved to push it and market it it will languish on the 500th page of any Amazon search forever. Oh and did I say that there are thousands of books a day released and there is nowhere you can self-promote stuff if you do not have social media, HN and reddit will also immediately block self-promotion even if relevant to the audience (I guess I can understand why). I guess the only ones destined to read it are the AI training algorithms.

Still it wont stop me writing, having a book published, even if nobody reads it is very self-satisfying and leaves something of you in this world when you are gone.
Sorry, but which part of security.
User can't pretend to be another registered user. They won't have the private keys.

What am I missing.
a system where sshd outputs to a log file then someone else picks it up and then pokes at iptables, seems much more of hacky than having sshd supporting that natively, imo. Sshd is already tracking connection status, having it set the status to deny seems like less of a kitchen sink and more just about security. the S in ssh for secure, and this is just improving that.
Or here's another perspective:

Remember the point of "AI" is getting human-like productivity out of machines.

So should it be surprising that the company at the forefront of this is has a low human-to-everything ratio?
Virus turns on recall, user might not notice much. A real Microsoft service is running. It can then just wait and activate later. If the user notices recall on, they'll just blame Microsoft. You can then just turn it on again. You can already see that many users are suspect that it'll go back to being on by default sometime in the future too. It's not uncommon to see system updates change settings.

The virus doing the same things as recall will be much noiser and much more suspicious. Making it much more likely to be removed.

Not to mention that once recall has been running a virus only needs to extract the data. It records far more than what a password manager does and is far easier to search through. It just makes a very large attack surface.

Basically, why would anyone develop keyloggers anymore? Microsoft did it for you. And it'll never be tripped by antivirus software because it's an official and legitimately signed program. You don't see a problem with this?

Sending an encrypted message to someone is a problem solved for decades: get their public key, encrypt your message, send it.

The real problem with encrypted communications is: how do you properly distribute public keys, make sure they receive it, they receive the right one, etc ?

- giving them by hand, directly or through web of trust, doesn't scale

- trusting a server involves... trusting it, which you might not be able to do for many reasons

- use the first one you receive from your recipient (TOFU) kinda works, but it's not really enough

The beginning of a solution here is general transparency for everyone: everyone sends their public key to everyone, everyone records everything, and so if someone else changes my key without my consent I can tell everyone "SOMETHING IS WRONG, THIS IS NOT ME". For scalability, of course, keys aren't sent to everyone. The nice thing with this is that by design you don't need to trust anyone, you just have to watch everything by yourself.

Keybase still needs to trust all third-party services, although it's assuming that each one isn't super reliable and the real trust comes from multiple independent third-parties. It's slightly in the middle, with the advantage of reusing existing stuff, but the inconvenient of making said existing stuff more important

What's the relationship with the fediverse ? None, really; the concept is generic for any kind of communication, but ActivityPub is slowly becoming a protocol for generic communication anyway so might as well do it for AP.
