The phrase 'terrible advice' is unwarranted when it comes to a simple comment saying to use one-way cryptographic hashes rather than storing passwords.

I offered a technically correct warning for a single case, and also specifically said I wasn't commenting on whether that auth method should be used or not.

I'm not required to offer a security tutorial, but yes it's true that storing anything, even hashes, is a security risk. So if it helps any other readers they can somewhat mitigate dictionary attacks by using salts and possibly peppers.
Interesting. I talked to the founder of Graphhopper at some point. Nice product.

I'm currently traveling by local rail connections across Germany currently using the Germany ticket (49 euro/month, amazing value). This restricts me to local only connections and it's a nice way to see the country if you are willing to travel at a bit slower pace. I simply do 1-2 hour hops at the time and then get myself an airbnb look around a bit and then move on every few days.

One of my challenges is routing and mapping. Mostly I use the Deutsche Bahn tool for this where you simply enter where you want to go, restrict it to local connections, and then you get your route. There isn't much else that is usable. Google maps is alright for scheduling but you can't restrict it. And mostly it's transit layer is very incomplete.

What's missing is a good global map of all connections everywhere. Which would help me identify easy to get to destinations. Mostly, I'm just figuring out where to go by staring at a map and then figuring that there's probably some sort of rail or bus connection I can use to get from A to a potentially interesting B.
I would argue that sometimes "dumb drama" is a good mirror of humanity. Inter-marital affairs really do happen (including in the highest levels of public policy as well as the astronaut corps), people do disclose "secrets" and pilots (including astronauts) are known to deceive medical professionals to avoid being "grounded".

We can't make kids spend a few extra years, school is already long as it is.

You realize kids only have around a single full time year to learn math, if you add up all 12 school years? They don't have the time you did when you started practicing programming.
I think the "it was native and abundant so nobody used it because it didn't demonstrate wealth" explanation is far more plausible given that the same can be observed with many native plants and spices in other parts of Europe.

TFA mentions that spices were categorized as "sweet or strong" and given that coriander was seen as "strong" it competed with fancier imports. This preference likely "trickled down" making the spice seem less appealing to the masses, especially with increased social mobility in more recent history.
"I am one person trying to work against a campaign of misinformation so vast that it fucking terrifies me. This kid is being set up for a life lived entirely inside the hall of mirrors."

This is a little hyperbolic and instead maybe the kid can learn that chatgpt.com is not a reliable source. It even says at the bottom of the page "chat gpt can make mistakes". Lots of things are not reliable sources. Wikipedia is not a reliable source. Teachers are supposed to teach this, and teach cross referencing at the very least, not freak out.
You could probably make the same argument for search bar vs. peer-reviewed publications. Of course, the search bar (which is also AI, by the way) can help you to get to the peer-reviewed publications. But the same is true for ChatGPT. The problem is that ChatGPT sounds like presenting objective facts. But maybe the lesson here is that just because something sounds right, it isn't necessarily right, and that is something that should be taught in school. Of course, that undermines the function of school to produce obedient citizens.

If they only trust ChatGPT, why not just show them? From asking leading questions, to simply asking ChatGPT what the chances are of it making mistakes and hallucinating, there are tons of options.

Considering this is a transcription of a deleted twitter post, my internet radar of "yeah, that happened" gives a lower chance this is true than your average ChatGPT answer.
A MAC address is only 48 bits and some of the bits are restricted. It is well within the range of brute force to reverse all of the hashes.
My memory of the internet in 1994 is of the mysterious place where my Dad would download shareware games for me while he was at work. I wonder now if that would have been from the early web (he worked at a government scientific research institution, so would have had access) or from Usenet.
Also rice doesn't grow anywhere near Germany. Today that's not really s factor anymore, because it's so easy to shop, but my parents both grew up sticking very much to a local and seasonal approach to cooking, because everything else was new to them. They eat what they always knew best, so 5-6 days of the week the starchy side were potatoes. Rice is way more filling by transportation effort, but potatoes have been around their entire lives and in my dad's case also what his parents grew on their farm.

I agree, but with "funding model" rather than "ecosystem". With VC funding the cost of failure is low, and arguably failing to scale will make you look worse than simply running out of money. In a bootstrapped business, the same pressure doesn't apply. Also, I imagine it is easier for a small team spending their own money to avoid slipping into resume-driven development.
I had that same argument, the teacher who told me to not trust non peer reviewed articles ended up flooding her Facebook was with pro-brexit lies a decade later. Turns out critical thinking is not outsourcing your thinking to a third party, be it a peer reviewes journal, google search results, or chatgpt.
Seems to be a weird mishmash of two Quora answers to this question: https://qr.ae/psQebz. One AI-generated and the other human.
It also undermines the way schools work to teach kids. In order to not have to explain everything, almost all lessons are mostly teaching you some axioms, even if they really are disputed, or have caveats, etc. Good teachers make clear where there is an axiom, and where something is just being simplified or assumed for the sake of saving time.

I am a product of the German school system, I'd say I wasn't indoctrinated too much, so its not entirely broken, but with these new """tools""" maybe we need a reform anyways.
I had headaches diagnosed as migraines since I was a kid, for 40+ years. It got to a point where I had scale 9 headaches for most days of some weeks and it was a tough going. Lots of doctors, some pain relief, but ultimately, no help. Then, in desperation, I tried drinking water. Headaches had been accompanied by the feeling of hunger/thirst and I thought to drink until it went away. I brought home a six-liter pack of mineral water and drank it all in 24 hours. And no more headaches. Nowadays I always have a bottle of water at hand consuming at least 1.5 liters a day. Nights are punctuated by visits to the loo, but I can live with that.

Reading other comments, I suppose migraines are a systemic issue, where something in the body is out of balance which manifests itself as an headache. And the medical science is really not very good with systemic issues: heart surgery has made great strides, but where nervous system meets the digestive system meets the limbic system etc, they struggle. Also, I think there’s an interesting aspect of level of detail of sensitivity here. Turns out my bouts of hunger were actually thirst. Since then, endurance sports have introduced me to an even wider gamut of ways the body might ask for different things. So maybe it’s about our ability to recognize and therefore correct imbalances in the body?

I'm not sure how you'd make a claim like "plenty of typical XYZ food was invented elsewhere" when all food is similar to or a variation of or build upon something that came before unless we literally evolve new ways of ingesting nutrients.

I'm not really that convinced that it isn't mostly social.. There were more intolerant than diagnosed until the 90s and that has now just flipped with the social overcompensation.

It's really very easy to buy in to the dominant social narrative as an explanation for one of the many undiagnosable health incidents we experience in a lifetime, and the placebo effect confirms whatever is socially helpful.

Most of these social changes now originate or become big from the US first because it dominates international media.
There's a lot of bullshit in conservative thinking. (Keep reading for the "but...")

Some of it is expressed by Frank Wilhoit famous quip: "Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition. There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect.”

Some of it is inherited from the close-mindedness of its historical origins in British shopkeeper mentality, horrified at the violent jolts of the French Revolution. (Burke, Dickens)

And some of it comes from the hijacking by billionaires trying to enroll conservative movements in the defense of their interests.

BUT...

(says the 55-year old graduate student in ethics)

There's also a lot of respectable thinking there, and a healthy disrespect of pharisaism. Contemporary liberalism too often degenerates in simple rules for being holier-than-thou.

Against the doctrinal excesses in display in the US academic setting, one should pay some attention to the reasonable dissenting voices.

As Albert Maysles is supposed to have said: "Tyranny is the deliberate removal of nuance."
Since my comment was alreadly long I didn't want to add a long parenthesis to elaborate the details with Musk, but I wasn't referring to his concrete accomplishments, which I don't deny and am also irritated when others needlessly deny. I am referring to his ridiculuously and transparently hypocritical 180 change in behavior after he meets with leaders of countries he was criticizing prior to meeting them. He has not tweeted anything remotely negative on China and Israel after meeting Xi and Netanyahu, clearly due to transactional quid pro quo he was able extract from those meetings regarding his business interests. I have no doubt his railing against the Biden admin would have been tempered had they been more accomadating to his business interests. It is abjectly pathetic and spineless behavior.
What is a 'pro brexit lie'?
You can truncate the hash to cause collisions, meaning that one MAC address does not map to one location. This requires the client to be aware of multiple physically nearby MACs in order to get a location, as it then needs to estimate which "possible" locations are most likely.

This is a really interesting problem, and I've loved thinking about it recently. If you're keen on it too I'm happy to discuss further, feel free to reach out.

Indeed, you could apply the same argument to peer-reviewed articles, although at the moment they are still much (much!) more reliable than ChatGPT.
Potatoes play a major role in german cuisine, a fact that you can also observe through architecture by looking at old houses or farms in Germany: The "Kartoffelkeller" (="potato cellar") is a common storage room under a house with no windows/light, for long term storage of potatoes after the harvest. Often there would be slides under trapdoors to be accesible from outside the house, so you can fill the cellar with the potato harvest right from the tractor. People would get their basements filled to have enough potatoes to make it through the winter.

Another cultural fact: "Kartoffelferien" (="potato holidays") are still used by some elderly to describe the school holidays around october, because children needed to help with the potato harvest around that time.
To put that into perspective, 48 bits is 256T, which is roughly the number of bits in a 32TB hard drive.

And you didn’t get the idea to just show them, as I said, either? I’m not saying it’s impossible for little kids not to know about it, I’m saying it’s very straightforward to show them why that’s wrong by using the one tool they seem to believe.
Many implementations these days also go the opposite way, guaranteeing that hash tables always iterate in insertion order.

I prefer this because it means I don’t have to decide whether I need an ordered map or an unordered map. Often if I think I need an unordered map it turns out to be wrong for some subtle reason.
I didn't just look at the implementation, I tried it as well. I was hoping it would work, but the aggregating model mostly either failed to properly synthesize a new response (merely dumping out the previous responses as separate functions) or erratically took bits from each without properly gluing them together. In every case, simply picking the best out of the four responses myself yielded better results.

Your strokes are too broad.

Obviously different groups of humans in different times and locations are going to invent similar foods. But, for example speaking of flat bread, how you actually execute it and the differences in texture, thickness, crunchiness, what you put on top of it and what order can make two dishes that are the same macro idea but end up as two completely different things.
I've seen this happen, too, including student incredulity that ChatGPT can be wrong, and recalcitrance when guided to find proper sources. Up to the point of arguing for a higher grade based on the correctness of LLM output.

Talking abstractly is usually better in social situations. Your audience can get the main point really easily, and if they want more details then there are lots of questions they can ask.

Diving into concrete details is bad because.
- Explaining details takes time and can lead to monologues. You want to be sure that people want the details before you do this
- Understanding the details can take a lot of effort so it’s tiring for the other person, and you risk making them feel stupid if they don’t understand.

I think that this experiment is showing that extroverts have better social skills.

Capitalism sounds awesome, I hope I live to see it.

By construction a market that doesn’t work well is suffering from a market failure: monopoly, duopoly, governmental capture, important people’s kids promoted beyond their abilities.

Capitalism has a bad name because we tolerate not only market failures but induced market failures: the first thing anyone seems to do after winning in a market is to try to construct barriers to further competition. No Soviet career party man, no apparatchik is such a fan of knowing the right people as the capitalist who won a hand of poker.

The tech business is addicted to this shit: a software venture isn’t truly considered a success until it’s a monopoly, entrepreneurs avoid markets with established players in them.

But this is because of the funding model. The people who fund software plays have convinced LPs that they can beat the market by a lot, and over the long run it’s not many people who can do that without cheating.

So everyone cheats and tries for market manipulation that is illegal on paper. We used to prosecute those people for securities fraud.

What exactly do you mean by the word “axiom” here?
Yes, they can be substituted but they're definitely a staple in good German Hausmannskost. Maybe not so much in the South: Swabia subsists almost entirely on Spätzle noodles and Bavarians seem to prefer various kinds of Knödel.

But a good Rhineland Sauerbraten for example would normally be served with potatoes and a good Bauernomelette demands some crispy fried potato slices as well. Semmelknödel (but also often offered alongside potato dumplings) are a more common sight at special occasions or buffets. Many a young family's weekly rotation features spinach, fried eggs and potato mash alongside fish sticks, fried potatos with fried eggs and onions are a popular hearty lunch or late breakfast, and cooked potatos or mash are the default addition to some meat or sausage to the point a common microwave TV dinner still consists of Nuremberg sausages, sauerkraut and mash.
I really don’t see any other solution to this kind of problem except for one: LLMs must become perfect, and never be wrong.

Relying on kids to do cross referencing and deeper fact checks into everything they ask an LLM is just not going to happen at scale.
