Does it matter when you can use the hashed password to log in?

You don't have to hold clear-text data around for very long for it to be exfiltrated. And noone said clear-text passwords would just stick around in ram.

Can we talk about that name, though? It only brings me associations with the Q-Anon movement. Also, one-letter names is hard to google, hard to remember and easy to mix up. If you want to use one letter on the CLI, just use an alias. alias

It's always fascinating how differently people read the same text. I was just here browsing comments about the python2 drop after noticing the headline of the changelog: > BREAKING CHANGES > Support for Python 2 is dropped. Fo

Not sure what you mean here. The article explains how this was uncovered by archaeological studies.

If anything, the world needs more interdiciplinary scholars.

Thanks for pointing that out. I'm not up to date on this.

The issue with Xorg is that it runs as root by default (there seems to be ways to run it as non-root according to Gentoo Wiki, but I'm pretty sure most popular distros runs it as root). One of the selling points of wayland is that it d

So do dealers, at least around here. Some prices mentioned in this thread looks like "tourist prices" from your average dealer.

With that pricing, the black market is sure to stick around.

Yep, I wouldn't be surprised if its even more.

As also mentioned in the comment you reacted on, 80% of those 25% is retweets. You also need to consider how much of that is bots.

I had a 10 year career doing PHP, in the last year or so I also enjoyed Laravel and built 10 or so sites with it. It did many things right. Eventually some blade template error resulted in an impossible stack trace due to the insane amount

Um, how do you convert anything with this tool? All I can see is different forms of presentation of the entered time. My main use of such app is conversion between timezones. Luckily all desktop OS I use have this built in already. One feat

There was many new node projects using MongoDB and I remember several failed, but details elude me. There was a Slack competitor using MongoDB that was snappy and js hipster trendy that ultimately failed because of unreliable database IIRC.

I agree with you and I also wrote: > If you do this for the money, investing in tried and true (but boring) software should be the default solution. Meaning if you are just playing around, then by all means evaluate new and shiny stuff.

Not commenting on tailscale, but for the state of databases. Sometimes boring is the right choice. PostgreSQL has worked for decades now, and seems to have regained much of the performance that MySQL once boasted. If you do this for the mon

> I am a professional AI practitioner and I feel that I understand the field well enough to see multiple possible paths towards actually creating AGI. So do I, but none of them revolve around training an current-era AI to produce an AGI,

by alophawen 5y ago
Such a conclusion as AI would create AGI implies you are more hyped about the field than actually understanding where AI is today, nor what is required in order to achieve AGI.

You're asking the right question. What is human-level intelligence. People seem to forget that we have no full understanding of how the mind works in order to replicate it. Anyone who studied ML knows what the current tech is able to,
