I mean, that's what STIR/SHAKEN do.

My problem with notebooks is that I feel like the natural mental model for them is a spreadsheet mental model, not a REPL mental model. Under that assumption, changing a calculatio…

It seems to me to be the exact opposite of this. If all of the data going from server to client comes through JSON to javascript, which usually means a JSON serializer and should c…

I would say this is more like a local git repository than what you said. When you add passwords to a vault, then it gets saved to your local copy and then synced to the server. Whe…

I prefer the Goodreads rating system which compresses 1 and 2: 1 - Did not like it 2 - It was ok 3 - Liked it 4 - Really liked it 5 - It was amazing The reason being is that most b…

Can you explain how a collision helps? I mean, there's trivial collisions with the truncation that would be used instead. That doesn't mean that bcrypt(f(x)) is any weaker because …

zxcvbn ( https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/209/zxcvbn/test/index.ht... ) gives it a score of 4/4 and an entropy of 10^20, meaning it would take centuries to hack at 10B a second.…

I use realtimebitcoin.info

How many dots/stars should one display for a password? That's a question that can't be answered by your two valid question. Are you suggesting that dots/stars shouldn't be displaye…

Think about it this way. Netflix wanted to separate their DVD and streaming into separate companies, so there would be different websites for each. Consumers complained about that …

Well if you use the Bitcoin network as a metric, there's roughly 3 billion GH/s (which is really two chained SHA1 in hardware), and realtimebitcoin.info claims this is ~2000 MW. If…

That's not entirely true. You could fork a popular git repo, and then make some kind of patch for a bug in some seldomly changed file. Then force a collision in the new file with t…

Basically, the reason that things corrode is that there are dissimilar metals, one with more electrons than the other creating a voltage between them. So your part is a battery and…

Is it though? There's only 230k words in that list, and most words aren't that long. Building a trie and then trying all the permutations of all of the words seems like it would fi…

For a, you can put a sacrificial anode on the frame. Given that the rate of corrosion should be known, the size of it can be calculated to however long the pod is expected to be in…

It seems to be the same keyboard mapping that Reason uses: https://youtu.be/7maQ1zjvb-M?t=28

I don't work in avionics, but in another field with two pilots. Most things are done by exclusive control meaning there is a selector for which station has the flight stick. But fo…

Or flung into the ceiling headfirst at 0.5g and then back to the floor at 2g. Presumably that could cause injuries other than motion sickness.

Have you read the book https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blondie24 . It seems like both of your strategies have similar high-level approaches of self-play and learning, although yours …

You can still do this at hardware stores in the US. You put your nuts and bolts in the plastic bag and write down the price and quantity and then they add them up at the register. …

Even Borland Turbo C++ from 1992 did this: https://youtu.be/RWavTVo7D3M?t=496

I guess I misspoke about being 1920x1080 which is a "2K" screen split in two. An 8K screen split in two would be ~4000x4000 per eye which is still 16x as many pixels as I said, plu…

Assuming that it's feasible to do ~1080p per eye at 120hz today, 8k per eye is only 16 times more pixels. And considering that increasing the pixel size is embarrassingly parallel,…

I didn't say it was a good plan, just one I heard suggested. I'm in the opinion that the US should just combine to have one giant risk pool, and include everyone in it (aka single …
