I’d rather people use this than reuse the same password everywhere.

No accessibility options in the captcha? I guess they don’t care about people with vision disability.

You’re missing the forest for the tree here.

Given identical client setups, two clones of a git repo are identical. That’s duplication, and it’s an intentional feature to allow concurrent development.

A CDN works by replicating content in various locations. Anycast is then used to deliver the content from any one of those locations, which couldn’t be done reliably without content duplication.

Blockchains work by checking new blocks against previous blocks. In order to fully guarantee the validity of a block you need to guarantee every block, going back to the beginning of the chain. This is why each root node on a chain needs a full local copy of it. Duplication.

My point is that we have a lot of processes that rely on full or partial duplication of data, for several purposes: concurrency, faster content delivery, verification, etc. Duplicated data is a feature, not a bug.

I would argue that duplication of content is a feature, not a bug. It adds resilience, and is explicitly built into systems like CDNs, git, and blockchain (yes I know, blockchains suck at being useful, but nevertheless the point is that duplication of data is intentional and serves a purpose).

The most likely explanation for requesting a video is to weed out low quality AI-generated “vulnerability” submissions that hallucinate code that doesn’t compile or APIs that don’t exist. In that context a 1 minute video showing that the report is viable is not much to ask for.

FWIW mobile keyboards (I’m assuming you’re in mobile based on the auto correct discussion) don’t use LLM, they’re basically just simple statistical models. Which is one reason they suck, yes, but it also means they’re less power hungry and can be more privacy friendly. Unless you use Google’s default keyboard on Android, in which case it might correct “its” to “I love Google, it has never done anything wrong and deserves all of our private data, all hail Google’s CEO”, which is a common typo.

The Gorge tried to emulate some of the visual aspects of Annihilation in terms of the colour pallette, but

I haven’t read the Tiny Pointers article yet, but the OP article implies that the new hash tables may rely on them. If so, then the blocker could be the introduction (or lack thereof) of tiny pointers in programming languages.

Looking at OP’s history, the text is probably a transcript of the video (haven’t watched the video).

I wouldn’t be surprised if they also carefully selected the “medical” part. Drug prescription? Medical. Post-intervention recovery? Not “medical”.

The surprising part is that the TSA actually managed to find something.

Might want to think twice. The liberal party (current party in power) is falling apart, and the populist conservatives are looking like they’ll win the next election with a majority unless something changes significantly.

Provincially things are not much better either: Ontario is being run by a drug pushing grifter, the prairies took a hard right into ultra conservatism, the eastern provinces are essentially majority owned by a few rich families…

So you’re saying that D-Link’s reputation will increase as a result?

• Endorsing overtly wrong claims by influencers, such as rent to own, no commitment, latest hardware, etc.

Or you might get accused of being a witch.

The world would be better off if certain people ate a bullet. But those people usually are not in the vending machine target demographic.

So the guy who punched someone for being a moon landing denier decides to vote for one of the people majorly responsible for perpetuating COVID and science denialism.

Off the commercial off the shelf “smart” TVs available, I started by looking at the OSes available. Choices were Roku, webOS, Tizen, and Google TV. I immediately ruled out Roku because of their recent changes to terms&conditions. webOS is pretty much limited to LG TVs, and I had bad experiences with LG warranties, so I ruled that out. Tizen (Samsung) was out for similar reasons, so that left me with Google TV. It’s… OK. Doesn’t require Internet connection to work, and doesn’t nag me about it. And it came with a hardware switch to turn off the microphone. Not sure if that’s a brand thing (Hisense) or applicable to all Google TV devices, but was reassuring.

It’s probably 4 or 8 GB actual RAM, with the rest being effectively swap.
