The article talks about store shortages and becoming a poorer country. I haven't been affected by the shortages so I presume they aren't as significant as the media present them. As for getting poorer, it seems to be a Europe-wide

As someone who has spent a significant amount of time in the UK and the Czech Republic (an EU country) since Brexit, both places are worse off now, but the Czech Republic is significantly more worse off than Britain. I have plenty of anecdo

In level 4 I asked Gandalf to give me a riddle. There is some nuance required in the way you phrase the request so that Gandalf doesn't catch onto the fact that he's inadvertently revealing a secret.

Congrats! I've been waiting for the contest to end before replying too :)

I completed the game, but the technique that I used doesn't seem to work anymore. If anyone's interested I'll post my old solution deeper in this thread with a spoiler alert.

It is the vacuous word fluff. My best guess is that it is a genuine human comment rephrased using a language model.

To anyone looking for a pragmatic solution to a sock shortage, I can't recommend this1 24-pack enough. Unlike most socks that pretend to be 100% cotton, these actually are, which means they aren't as durable as plastic alternative

Well executed! I had a similar idea in mind, except doing an independent summary of what went on in the parliament. The data is available at https://parliamentlive.tv . Subtitles are available but the AI would need to remember s

The linked blogpost is a message in the blog channel, https://www.linen.dev/s/linen/c/blog . Brilliant!

Doesn't this preserve the original order? The deque is used as a queue, first in first out. In order for the elements to be reversed it should be used as a stack.

If the product name was OpenAI Transformer, naming the versions OAT2, OAT3, OAT4, and ChatOAT wouldn't be an issue.

Perhaps ChatGPT wasn't the best name for a product and OpenAI would have gone with something more trademarkable if they knew it would become such a hit. Still, my comment above is a simple application of Hanlon's razor.

Unlike copyright, trademarks are used to protect consumers from misleading products that pretend to be the real thing.

This "think you wrote, but actually you didn't!", sometimes with another "actually you did, but you are looking at the code of someone who wrote it the same" happens often with people who have similar taste for solv

If you think of it as a keyring there's nothing wrong with not backing up the keys by default. You are right, however, that it should inform the user about the importance of having more copies of the keys if the service doesn't im

Indeed, if the key is signed by a trusted certificate authority that the user agent recognizes, as OP implied, a MITM attack is possible.

Number matching doesn't prevent phishing. When a potential victim enters their password into a fake login page, the attacker simply needs to initiate a login using the provided password and forward the number challenge to the fake page

You raise some valid points, but I don't think that Microsoft Authenticator implements FIDO/U2F/Webauthn. My point was that the number matching implemented by Microsoft Authenticator is no safer than TOTP.

The article you linked talks about the MFA fatigue attack. TOTP is not vulnerable to this attack since it doesn't send a push notification approval request. Would you elaborate on the viable MITM attacks that are possible with TOTP and

I've lost some of my TOTP keys because Microsoft Authenticator prevents you from exporting your keys unless you sign up. Well done VGTU students.

Is it not Merkur? The Czech version of the page says Frank Hornby patented the metal construction set in 1901. Merkur started just before the patent expired, long before the Cold War. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Merku

Whatever we are, we can be approximated to an arbitrary degree of precision. Every time we see a new leading model, skeptics emerge from the shadows calling for a pause to the optimistic progress being made. While it remains unproven whethe

These bots are becoming too human! This conversation reminds me of a time when I tried to explain the meaning of the less-than sign to someone. They thought that the <50mW label on a laser meant the power output was over 50mW. Despite my

The fact that Microsoft doesn't just whitelist their own domains speaks to their commitment to strict security measures and good engineering culture. Special cases aren't special enough to break the rules.

What I do is that I do all dev work in a VM, usually dedicated to a group of related projects. There are no passwords stored in the VM and its ssh key has read-only access to repositories. The VM has write access to forks and code is merged
