Given enough time, hashes are reversible via brute force. If the attacker steals the entire password table undetected, they have a large amount of time to generate soft collisions. After all they don’t need to hack any particular account, j

Why does it matter if everyone else knows or cares? If you were actually the guys from the big short and you have strong conviction, you should short the market (literally like the guys from big short) and get really rich. Money is the lang

All of those people have already pass through a filter of self-selection There's a person out there that's 1) knows how to bake amazing cookies 2) has no desire to record tik toks Why is that you need both of those things combined

In 2004 I played an MMO game on a pirated server. The owner of the server somehow got a version of the server binary, and used a hex editor (!) to add new features to the binary over time. It's the closest I've ever see to someone

I agree with you and I hope you are right. >Offload a massive illiquid investment onto the public Because this state seems like a very solvable problem: All you have to is not buy it

I'm not sure where you live, but you can probably still do this. Although the internet has globalized a lot of services, there's still local, labor intensive jobs that can never be scaled up like this. To name a few: - Garbage man

“Most of the time” isn’t really the bar here. That’s like me saying “most of the time the warehouse won’t catch on fire” or “most of the time the plane won’t crash”. For disaster scenarios, we benefit from extreme caution. Arguably we haven

Agree with this comment but follow up to this tip: Only use this as a learning technique. Do not accidentally let this bleed over into personal 1:1 conversations. I know some people in my life who are "smart" and they will cut peo

I actually think infrastructure and competence in AI is going to be huge for national security in a a few years. Basically, I think future wars will be fought with AI drone swarms. If your AI is crappy, then your drones will suck and you&#x

The current LLMs support data export/import inherently because the interface is pure text. All one needs to do is say something like “tell me all of personalization factors you have on me” and then just copy and paste that into the nex

This isn't actually because of 9/11. For the politicians who are putting this structure into place, 9/11 is a convenient excuse to pin all of this on. But in reality if 9/11 didn't happen, then any myriad of other t

One thing that would make sense is for you to not pay any more. But if you do, that signals to the company this is all perfectly okay.

You won't believe this next part. We actually did make vaccines for several diseases that were as close to 100% safe as real world possible, and people were voluntarily rejecting it.

When I was at Meta (then facebook), people lived and died by the live demo creedo. Pitches can be spun, data is cherry picked. But the proof is always in the pudding. This is embarrassing for sure, but from the ashes of this failure we find

I agree that any future expected event is uncertain. For example, I think there’s a small chance a black hole traveling at 0.1c smashes our solar system overnight and the sun never rises again. To answer the question, I think the civil war

Ah I see, you're saying it was a bad decision for the South to start the war. I agree history records fort sumter as the official start of the war, but I guess I was looking at it big picture that "a war was on it's way"
