I want to say Mein Kampf but I wonder how many people actually read it before Hitler came to power.
On that note, I’ve always wanted to get my hands on a copy just because I want to see what kind of insane ramblings it contains but there’s basically no way to do that without looking like a neo-Nazi. I wonder if there’s scans of it online.
Bitwarden sold keys recently.

Chrome and firefox are the same product now and neither should be allowed to hold anything important.

It doesn’t even have to be that long. 12-16 characters and it’ll be infeasible to brute-force for the foreseeable future. But unless you’re talking a high-value target like government, military, or executive suite at a company, no one bothers to brute-force anyway because there’s easier ways to gain access.
The biggest issue with password security is reuse and sharing. The most secure password in the world doesn’t mean a damn thing if you use the same email/password combination across a hundred different websites, because all it takes is for just one of them to suffer a leak and now your credentials are in a dump with millions of others that can be bought for a song and a dance.
This is why it’s imperative to use 2FA for your most important accounts, because it can mean the difference between an attacker getting access and hitting an error page and trying the next poor fucker’s credentials instead.
But also, no one wants to try to remember a hundred different unique passwords so it’s also a good idea to use a password manager. Chrome and Firefox both have them built-in (note that Firefox stores passwords unencrypted on disk unless you set a master password!), but there’s also services like OnePass or Bitwarden that have stronger guarantees.
Yeah, I realized that as soon as I posted it.
You know what this is launching just in time for?
Tax season.
Cue* 10 million people getting audited because they let their browser file their taxes for them.
The doctor is hilarious and I want B’lanna to step on me
Joshington?
Jhleswig-Holstein?
I think some people are so eager to offload all critical thinking to the machine because they’re barely capable of it themselves to begin with.

It’s glorified autocorrect (/predictive text).
People fight me on this every time I say it but it’s literally doing the same thing just with much further lookbehind.
In fact, there’s probably a paper to be written about how LLMs are just lossily compressed Markov chains.
That’s funny, I didn’t notice that lol
Animals never had a war
Guess they call what happened in Tanzania in 1974 a “chimp police action” instead.

I’ve long maintained that actually writing code is only a small part of the job. Understanding the code that exists and knowing what code to write is 90% of it.
I don’t personally feel that gen AI has a place in my work, because I think about the code as I’m writing it. By the time I have a complete enough understanding of what I want the code to do in order to write it into a prompt, the work is already mostly done, and banging out the code that remains and seeing it come to life is just pure catharsis.
The idea of having to hand-hold an LLM through figuring out the solution itself just doesn’t sound fun to me. If I had to do that, I’d rather be teaching an actual human to do it.
“AI bubble causing economic collapse” here.
But at a certain point, it seems like you spend more time babysitting and spoon-feeding the LLM than you do writing productive code.
There’s a lot of busywork that I could see it being good for, like if you’re asked to generate 100 test cases for an API with a bunch of tiny variations, but that kind of work is inherently low value. And in most cases you’re probably better off using a tool designed for the job, like a fuzzer.
I’ve maintained for a while that LLMs don’t make you a more productive programmer, they just let you write bad code faster.
90% of the job isn’t writing code anyway. Once I know what code I wanna write, banging it out is just pure catharsis.
Glad to see there’s other programmers out there who actually take pride in their work.
That’s probably based on the first definition because you can play either an ascending or descending scale.
Also the music staff kinda looks like a ladder.
Didn’t know doordashers could contact you through whatsapp
So what you’re saying is bro should have used a ghostwriter like with The Art of the Deal.
