The figure of merit is security vs memorability.

You could imagine two different passwords machine generated with the same entropy under plausible selection schemes: some w$#J8fe keysplat or the selection of 5 words from a dictionary of common words. Both would be equally secure against a password guessing attacker, but the common word one would be easier for most people to remember.

If you held memorability constant, the character-splat password would be less secure.

You could imagine a hybrid, but the one you demonstrate is the kind that humans construct on their own where some characters are replaced with lookalike symbols-- these sorts of adhoc schemes are well modeled by replacement rulesets and markov-model password guessing algorithms and don't tend to add a ton of entropy. They do hurt memorability a fair bit and the better done (from a security perspective) the worse the hit on memorability.

The comic's author would probably argue just adding an extra word is better from a security and memorability perspective, or at least I argue that. :)
Most of it already was, but normies don't go looking for public expenditure databases, so they assume it doesn't exist. Then DOGE comes along and pretends they're doing something new.

While this is fine advice for a generalised password generator, this isn't the point of the linked XKCD comic nor the objective of the post.

That is, the complexity of a password increases exponentially based on length, not so much character set. That is, the number of possibilities is squared if in your list of parameters the min-length goes from 8 to 9, changing the character set does not have as dramatic an effect.

This is like "learning a natural language is just 'cramming vocabulary and grammar' - voila, you've become a fluent C1 speaker". :-)

Seriously: if you argue this way, you have only seen a very biased set of programming languages, and additionally, your knowledge of these programming languages is very superficial (i.e. you have never gotten to the "interesting"/"deep" concepts that make this particular programming language special, and which are hard to replicate in most other programming languages).

That's an overly simplistic view of governance.

You're effectively says Congress should mandate every detail of every regulation. Even in areas where knowledge is changing (level of chemicals that are toxic, which medicines are useful and safe, etc).

The whole premise of our system is that the people within the system operate in good faith. And that's worked for most of 200+ years. I would posit that no amount of legislation will be able to stop bad-faith actors from screwing up the system, even more so when they convince ~50% of the voting popular that "burn it to the ground" is a reasonable take.

I've only taken three (undergrad) classes involving groups so I'm far from an expert but my feeling is that their underlying structure is a bit like prime numbers.

Nobody bothers explaining why the primes are spaced like they are, rather people explain other phenomena by pointing out that certain things about it are prime or not.

For instance, there's this thing about having a nice neat formula for factoring second degree polynomials (the quadratic formula). One also exists for cubics and quartics (though they don't usually have you memorize these) but none exists for quintics. It took mathematicians a while to prove that such a thing doesn't exist (how to prove a negative?) but they managed it by arguing that all such things have an underlying finite group smaller than a certain size and look, we've listed them here, and there's no such group corresponding to a quintic formula, therefore there is no quintic formula.

So they're useful as a sort of primordial complexity that can be referenced without extensive explanation since properties about the small ones can be checked by hand. And as it turns out, quite a lot of things form groups if you bother you look at them that way.
KiCad is for PCB design. For 3d printer you need to use something like FreeCAD (Free Open Source) or Onshape (paid closed source). You then need to convert the 3d model for your printer using a slicer like Orca or Prusa.
By banning "abortion" they've prevented doctors from providing adequate care for miscarriages. Politicians on the so-called "pro-life" side of this debate are stridently opposed to looking for a middle ground. Those excess deaths are entirely avoidable and utterly tragic. To the "pro-life" crowd, these deaths are collateral damage in a culture war. Death isn't the only extremely predictable (as in, we literally told you so) outcome, women who want to have children are being rendered infertile as a consequence of delaying treatment of miscarriages until death is an imminent risk.

I genuinely don't understand why the focus is on egg prices. Who out there is paying more than a total of $3-$5/month more in eggs? And no, even to the absolutely poorest among us, that's not a meaningful amount.

Yes, egg prices, as a percentage are going up a lot, but as an absolute value? I can get a dozen eggs from Walmart right now for $5.46. That isn't, by any measurement, a lot of money more than I would have paid a year ago.

Worked with Malaysian counterparts for a number of years. You have decent talent there but one of the key constraints I've heard from higherups is that the market doesn't have enough workers and a large multinational can saturate the skilled workers you need. So some companies are skipping to go to India instead.
I did two years of nurse graduation, and one of the discussions that we had in Public Health classes was that Abortion will be done whether you think it is ethical/moral or not. It's time to start treating this from a scientific perspective to avoid the life losses, this procedure done in a clandestine clinic is a high-risk life threat for the Mother.

It's clear, in the Health community, that pregnancy can be avoided with contraceptives and instructing the population (adults and teenagers) on how to deal with this issue.

Not only that, but it's tragic that we have such a good organization, WHO, which does instruct on how to deal with this, and yet we ignore because of beliefs of “pro-life” movements which in the end kill the infant's mother.

Definitely has been true for my work. LLMs have absolutely have been useful, I even forked an IDE (Zed) to add my own custom copilot to leverage a deeper integration for my work.

But even if we consider AI beyond just NLP, there's been so much ML you can apply to other more banal day to day tasks. In my org's case, one of the big ones was anomaly detection and fault localization in aggregate network telemetry data. Worked far better than conventional statistical modeling.

I usually assume there is a caricature of "AI Tools" that all of the detractors are working backwards from that are often nothing more than a canard for the folks that are actually using AI tooling successfully in their work.

This is harder than it sounds, although I agree in a vacuum the idea is a good one.

So much value of the code review comes from having actual knowledge of the larger context. Mundane stuff like formatting quirks and obvious bad practices should be getting hoovered up by the linters anyways. But what someone new may *not* know is that this cruft is actually important for some arcane reason. Or that it's important that this specific line be super performant and that's why stylistically it's odd.

The real failure mode I worry about here is how much of this stuff becomes second nature to people on a team. They see it as "obvious" and forgot that it's actually nuance of their specific circumstances. So then a candidate comes in and misses something "obvious", well, here's the door.
That is a 30% increase.

But that is only till 2023. It is probably higher in 2024.

However, while most conservatives are too politically correct to admit it, a spike in dead women is an acceptable price for the salvation that comes from removing abortion access.

As discussed in the article, we have built our own storage engine from the ground up, which we did because we believe it will achieve better performance by taking advantage of the features of the system (streaming data, single writer etc) instead of shoehorning it into a DBMS. So, our performance goals are very high throughput (100s of thousands of actions per second, scaling horizontally), with very low latencies (like, 40ms p90 under load for a 3 step workflow)
Still remarkable though that they didn't mean a prompt guesser when they said, “ML engineer”.
In a sense, I agree.

The president should not be able to declare war without an act of Congress.
The constitution grants the power to make law to congress, but then congress has enacted many laws which create agencies under the executive branch, which in turns empowers the executive branch.

So I agree that Congress should make/repeal laws that reduce the size of the executive branch so that only necessary powers are entrusted to the executive branch.

However, until that day comes, the separation of powers is the Legislative, Judicial, and Executive. Within the executive, inward looking (not external like killing people), yeah, the president and his appointed cabinet should have control. Without that control, you are defining an unaccountable form of government.
Neither is really true at least for Finland.

Addresses are not public information, you can opt out from having your info public. They are not even a national registry (one exists, not public) but your telco will put you in "the phone book" if you don't opt out.

Taxes are public information but only to a degree. You can opt out from having them shared en masse (primarily to the media) but you can still inquire someone else's paid taxes from the tax office but it requires you to know their full given name, year of birth and home town.

Salary is not public information, only the total amount of paid income taxes. You can correlate them to some degree but you won't be able to know how many jobs a person has or where their capital gains are from.

Access to this information can also be limited in exceptional cases (politicians, harassment victims, identity theft etc).
Tech interviews in general need to be overhauled, and if they were it’d be less likely that AI would be as helpful in the process to begin with (at least for LLMs in their current state).

Current LLMs can do some basic coding and stitch it together to form cool programs, but it struggles at good design work that scales. Design-focused interviews paired with soft-skill-focus is a better measure of how a dev will be in the workplace in general. Yet, most interviews are just “if you can solve this esoteric problem we don’t use at all at work, you are hired”. I’d take a bad solution with a good design over a good solution with a bad design any day, because the former is always easier to refactor and iterate on.

AI is not really good at that yet; it’s trained on a lot of public data that skews towards worse designs. It’s also not all that great at behaving like a human during code reviews; it agrees too much, is overly verbose, it hallucinates, etc.
They can be incredibly useful for many kinds of knowledge work. I've been much more productive using LLMs than before. I'm at the point where I dont know how I ever managed without.

That dictionary normally has a lot of rather obscure/long/hard to remember stuff. If you 'reroll' until you get a password you like better you're taking an unknown hit to the entropy of the results.

It's better to use a dictionary where every word is acceptable and commit yourself to taking the first result or best of two (confining the human-selection entropy loss).

Though I don't have any suggestion for a suitable one that is just a wget away.
> The big thing (in my opinion) that the comic gets wrong, and that all implementations of the password spec follow, is that if an attacker has reason to assume you might be using this style of password, then each word sort of becomes a single "character," albeit from a much larger list of possible characters.

Why you think that is "wrong"? It's the whole idea behind passphrases to consider each word as a symbol, and it's also what the xkcd entropy calculation is based on.
Air tightness is fine, because when it's done anywhere close to the right way it comes with filtered heat recovery ventilation.

Trump tried to make DOGE, and was slapped down by congress, so he took an existing department, removed all the people, switched it to do a different job, moved it to a different state, and replaced its name.

The whole thing is just completely silly. The focus should be on the true cost drivers like healthcare, insurance, child care, and housing.
