This thought - of being legitimately killed at any time anywhere - should scare people. Good! If the reality of war scares you, don't start wars.

I think if there's a law saying, like, GUIs must show stars when you enter your password unless the user clicks the button to make it visible, complying with it is good. Some laws are actually alright.

Wouldn't it begin with one of the several other fields that already exist there?

Putting your birthday in the birthday field is completely optional.

There's an archivist, and a journalist who is trying to kill that archivist. Which one is attacking and which one is defending?

I can't really be mad about someone DDoSing someone who's trying to kill them.

Yeah, that's what reactionary means. Just blindly opposing things.
218.
by gzread 7mo ago
Because this is a reactionary political statement and not a well thought out privacy project

Wow. Literally right next to the birthday field, which is apparently a gateway to mass surveillance, is physical location, which is apparently not?

Their life is in danger and one particular journalist is making it so

No, IA does everything above board and even honors invalid DMCA takedowns.

This is why archive.is was created. Should we stop trying to hunt down and punish its creator and support it as the extremely useful project that it is?

Why not? It works fine on pine devices.

Maybe. If their boss told them to do it and their boss is the CEO, probably not. It's on the prosecutor to prove the individual employee committed a crime worthy of piercing the corporate veil.

If "a random number is" is followed by all digits equally in the training dataset, then emitting a uniform distribution should minimise cross-entropy, right?

Any app that has access to your age category has access to your home directory where much juicier things live. Probably including your email address, and all your passwords.

What were you doing before, if not making resilient software? I find that scalability is usually overblown because computers are fast now, which is not to say you shouldn't make it run fast on one computer.

The existence of the user birthday field is mass surveillance, but the GECOS field, which contains your full name and street address, and the username, which often contains parts of your name and is mandatory, somehow are not. Full access t

Why are people worried about age bracket category (optional, defaults to "over 18") but they're not worried about remote attestation (will be mandatory to view any website)?
230.
by gzread 7mo ago
So that's also for email address, username, right?

If there are 9 different characters that can be in a password.

Bruteforce search in increasing length order will find the password in within 1% of the same amount of time
233.
by gzread 7mo ago
No, it doesn't. The set of all passwords of exactly length N is about 1% smaller than the set of all passwords up to and including length N.

by gzread 7mo ago
What?

And the shoulder surger can still count the number of times it changes so you might as well just be normal. They can also count the number of keystrokes they heard.

Since it's on TikTok it should be renamed Tik Tok Toe

Leaking the length of your password is about as bad for security as leaking the fact that you have a password, or that you use sudo.
238.
by gzread 7mo ago
Because that's still weird and confusing to people and still serves no purpose.

Is "GNOME OS" really a leading distro?

By emitting a next token distribution with a 10% chance of 0, 10% chance of 1, etc. Also it's an LLM, not a brain.
