   I get car sick when riding, but I have no problem driving. I hope there's a place for me in 10 years when rental is dead and AI takes over the road.

   I really like Nature's new font, Harding. But I don't think it's even commercially available.

   > It’s a service for excluding compromised passwords from use. How does this work? 2 cases: 1. I know password P is compromised. I check it in HIBP. If compromised, great, but I already know that. If not, well, too bad. I still can'

   I don't get it. If I check for a password I used before, presumably I want to keep using it if it's safe. Otherwise what's the point?

    Can you imagine yourself being convinced somehow that this is safe to use? I've had similar ideas before that I ended up not pursuing precisely because I knew I couldn't find a way to convince people like you. See also https:&#x2

    Now, can somebody make a version that takes my normal email message, change a few characters, and turn it into spam in the eyes of the neural nets, similar to the one pixel attack?

    Does anyone know if we can combine knowledge from different domains when training to play games? Example: have a language model read pieces of text about the game, then feed the output of that into a model that's doing normal reinforce

    I regularly ssh into boxes with varying IPs. Something like "ssh -i <key> <user>@<ip>". Every time I want to scp a file, I quit the ssh session, press UP, modify the ssh command into an scp one, execute then rest

    Thanks. I'm going to give it a try. I currently use Trello to track my personal stuff. How does Notion compare?

    Somewhat related: There's a car that's parked in front of my house, on the street, for over a year now. Never moved, no sign, just parked there. I find it hilarious and annoying that there's no legal way for me to report it,

    I have mixed feelings about Cognito. I love the simplicity. I love the 3rd party integration that comes with it. I love the fact that I don't have to manage user credentials and everything else by myself. However, I hate that the UI is

    I use Nano on my website to accept small payments (~$3), in addition to PayPal and Stripe. I'm paying PayPal/Stripe about 15% on every transaction. 0% with Nano. And the money goes directly to my wallet, instantly. It really is gr

    That multiplex feature is really cool. Is there a way to make it work for pem files? It'll be super useful to specify "-i pem" once and use that for all subsequent ssh/scp. Same goes for the username.

    Talk about timing, I was just looking for this in unicode for my website yesterday. Didn't find anything that looked good so ended up going with Font Awesome: https://fontawesome.com/icons/external-link-alt?style=s

    Tangential: I wish we had open betting/prediction markets for everything. At the risk of being naive, I had this idea of matching speculators with insurance buyers on a platform. Example: If I'm hosting an outdoor event in 2 days

    How does one with good math/physics background gain a deeper understanding of black holes? I'm fascinated by them and want to systematically learn the theory behind it. My plan is to start with General Relativity and Einstein&#x27

    This is exactly what I've been looking for. Thanks! Other than scrolling it looks really good. Do you use any framework for the frontend? If so, could you open source it?

    True. Why now? Why not any other "time"? These are questions that are very similar to "Why 'I'?", "Why not anyone else?". Maybe time and consciousness are deeply related, or even based on the same pri

    Getting https setup with S3 is the easy part. What I'm struggling with is getting www->root redirect to work with https. I've tried quite a few setups and none worked perfectly.
