Yeah that’s if you were to try to bruteforce the entire keyspace one key at a time. Nah. You’d look for sidechannel attacks which could reduce the keyspace by many orders of magnitude before starting.

Yeah like basic communication and the general concept of democracy.

Oh good. I’m glad we can just let 3M give microplastics to children in Indonesia once we all decide to quit our pack a day habit. Plus it’ll be nice to not be asked by the hostess if we want to sit in the microplastics or non-microplastics section of the restaurant anymore.

It’s even better because you can pop in whatever fat you want. If you toss the salt in there while popping then it’ll evenly distribute across your popcorn as well.

All of the M$ office apps have premium features now too. Pay extra monthly and you can use python in excel. Pay extra monthly and Teams will… I dont even know because I closed that popup so fucking fast. FFS my company must pay M$ at least 7 figures a year - why are they trying to nickel and dime us?

Yeah now we’ve gotta use the pickle.

Oh my god it is real!

Machine learning based pattern matching is indeed very useful and profitable when applied correctly. Identify (with confidence levels) features in data that would otherwise take an extremely well trained person. And even then it’s just for the cursory search that takes the longest before presenting the highest confidence candidate results to a person for evaluation. Think: scanning medical data for indicators of cancer, reading live data from machines to predict failure, etc.

And what we call “AI” right now is just a much much more user friendly version of pattern matching - the primary feature of LLMs is that they natively interact with plain language prompts.

It could crawl elements within the DOM to save a word cloud of visible text for each bookmark as metadata for later searches. I think it’s doable. Separating nonvisible and visible stuff is very difficult though.

Anecdote: I have an IDE that only works on Windows that can build applications for Linux. I use MinGW as part of the packaging process (AND I FUCKING HATE IT OH MY GOD. All of the pathing is broken!). As of yesterday I learned that WSL is a thing that might replace MinGW and make some processes of packaging for linux targets a little easier.

I had a decently awarded account on SO because I joined it in 2012. I asked and answered questions. For the first few years it was fucking awesome as a professional developer. Then it’s popularity on google search results ended up making it too well known and the comment quality dropped substantially. Then the fucking powerusers popped up and started flagging almost everye one my questions as duplicates while pointing to unrelated questions. The last I really used SO was around 2017. I got too fed up to participate in the platform because when I spent the time to make a well formed question, it would just got shut down and my time wasted.

Is that a jim kb comic? Where’s the author’s signature?

Honestly if it frees me from MinGW I would be happy

Can’t we just rake the sun?

This is what lawyers are for. They knowingly conspired to break TOS over the span of a decade after being politely prompted to pay for the service they stole. I love FOSS but the service side is not free and should not be the whipping boy of for profit companies. Fight back FFS.

Whoa I had no idea of those functions. I just checked the documentation and I already know a hundred places I could use those.

I mourn for humanity.

This is all extrapolated from google’s self published survey of how their users interact with their search results. Approximately 60% of users don’t click anything after a search. Personally I think that is because users have found their results to be seo garbage and not worth clicking on… but that’s just my opinion.

I do feel a dom/sub relationship with Linux right now as I try to build some flatpaks - so that is very fitting.
