Taylor Swift moving to another platform would absolutely cause a massive crowd to follow. Maybe we'll see it happen one day.

Oh phew, I don't have flowers on my blanket either. I guess I'm safe too. Otherwise I'm in exactly the same position as this meme, and that would make me have to think about my life choices.

I really enjoy programming, but generally I dislike cooking. I just want to eat, not spend time preparing to eat.

My experience with cooking has been that because I don't do it enough, I'm constantly dealing with food expiration dates and having to plan carefully around them.

In comparison, I've got some servers that have been running maintenance free for 5+ years. (Probably not the most secure thing, but meh, I don't have customers other than myself)

I think programmers often have hobbies that are more physical though. For me, I like working on my car because turning bolts and working with my hands lets my brain turn off for a while. I could see cooking and following a recipe being in the same category for others.

"I'm going to shoot you in the face" - Man who can't stop lying if their life depended on it.

"I don't believe you" - Last words of person shot in face.

Maybe lets not risk it.

Trump has also tried to cut medicare several times, while Harris wants to put a cap on out-of-pocket prescription prices and actually improve things instead of blaming everything on immigrants.

I don't appreciate your whataboutism. You're arguing like it's one or the other, bodily autonomy or better healthcare. The goal should be both. They're not conflicting issues.

I've been able to get demos of autopilot in one of my friend's cars, and I'll always remember autopilot correctly stopping at a red light, followed by someone in the next lane over blowing right through it several seconds later at full speed.

Unfortunately "better than the worst human driver" is a bar we passed a long time ago. From recent demos I'd say we're getting close to the "average driver", at least for clear visibility conditions, but I don't think even that's enough to have actually driverless cars driving around.

There were over 9M car crashes with almost 40k deaths in the US in 2020, and that would be insane to just decide that's acceptable for self driving cars as well. No company is going to want that blood on their hands.

That doesn't sound like a self-driving car to me.

The driver's tweet says it kept going, but I didn't find the full video.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 2 weeks ago

Whether or not a human should stop seems beside the point. Autopilot should immediately get the driver to take back control if something unexpected happens, and stop if the driver doesn't take over. Getting into an actual collision and just continuing to drive is absolutely the wrong behavior for a self-driving car.

I had to double-take since in Python a common alternative to trick ? treat : notreat is (trick and treat) or notreat

But I don't think this translates to overlapping circles very well. "trick implies treat" is only defined inside the trick circle, outside is undefined if treat is true or not.

I'm not going to draw a diagram, but here's the "truth table" for A implies B:

A, B, A -> B
N, N, undefined
N, Y, undefined
Y, N, false
Y, Y, true

But DO rotate your passwords if you suspect they've been leaked. Or every 5-10 years probably couldn't hurt either. The thing that has a much bigger effect is using unique passwords for every service. And if you have a password manager, resetting 1 password after a leak is trivial.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 weeks ago

I don't think that matters, since when bruteforcimg a passphrase it's more like using whole words as the characters (or tokens) in the password. If there's 7776 possible unique words, it doesn't matter what characters are in the words at all. Just how many password combinations are used.

Side note, this is assuming words without character replacements. If you consider variations with A->@ or B->8 there ends up being significantly more possible unique "words"
