    Define a random 128 bit key that you will never change. Use that key to encrypt 128 bit integers in sequence using AES-128, each one comes out as a, for all practical purposes, uni…

    The best answer so far. It describes exactly what was going on. LLM users should read it twice, especially if "confession" didn't make your brain hurt a bit.

    Yeah the tutorial I linked was from Mango Jelly for FreeCAD 1.1 :) He seems to have a perfect balance of getting it done, and you understanding what you are doing.

    Yeah I still consider Solid Edge very good. Easy to work with, does not require internet, no stupid limitations (like the 10 model limitation for Fusion). Many tutorials, etc. But …

    Yeah I actually have. I really liked the concept, but I designed a cylinder with many holes (think a robust sieve) and it just crashed when the number of holes grew too great. Even…

    I'm a occasional hobbyist maker and i've used Autodesk Fusion, Solid Edge, OpenSCAD and other niche parametric programs, but always felt FreeCAD was too complex. But I really wante…

    Because stocks have a tendency to go up even when they should be going down. And when you decide that it probably isn't going down, it will go down. Timing the market isn't a relia…

    Currently it seems that Google is pushing for hardware attestation, so you might be able to install Graphene/Lineage if your phone manufacturer allows you to unlock your bootloader…

    I have never seen people in the EU talk about the bubble colours. Texting is virtually dead in the EU as I know it, it's all in messaging services.

    That's also a large part of the issue IMO. I currently _have_ root on my rooted and Lineaged Poco F3. But as hardware attestation is becoming the norm I am deeply worried about the…

    Anything you want to share that raises it above all else? Especially as you agree that all other supplements are basically snake oil.

    People are free to rip their purchased media. He even says that he buys blurays/dvds in the article. One can assume anything, but a completely legal setup can look exactly like tha…

    I hope I didn't come off as angry or anything, I was just very surprised by the behaviour :) I am talking from some experience as I had to convert circa 40k lines of untyped code (…

    Because to me this seems like a fantastic example of a highly possible mistake that a typechecker _should_ catch. Without defined types in this situation a couple of things could h…

    > my_list = [1, 2, 3] > pyrefly, mypy, and pyright all assume that my_list.append("foo") is a typing error, even though it is technically allowed (Python collections can have multi…

    I'd like to see mentions/confirmation that it has top-notch randomness so that nobody else can come up with the same keys.

    Example with smaller numbers: 2^10 / 2 = 512 512 is 2^9 So when dividing powers like this you decrement the exponent. So no it's not 2^64 but more like 2^127 Dividing a loooong num…

    The graph seems a bit too much. It says that GPS 110 means ~125 on the odo. Although from personal experience I'd say it's more around a delta of 5 at those speeds, and 3 for lower…

    My experience from all the cars i have driven is that GPS shows 3-5km/h less than the car does. (In Europe)

    Border Force looked into a later order of thorium, and that caused them to go over all his past imports which contained the plutonium. The plutonium had been sitting on the guys sh…

    UPS erroneously delivered the Thorium sample, not the plutonium, which was ordered many months earlier without being intercepted.
