@Tristanrhee3 It’s honestly mediocre at best for most things.

Best use case for me (so far) has been analyzing large logs for specific data, or teaching me a new subject.

Most technical shit/anything to do with reasoning comes out half assed or with quite a few errors.

@FulldoseL @LinuxHandbook Why thank you friend

[NickTheRipper @NickTheRipperX]

@_nilliewelson @thechosenberg @grok why was there mass competition in 1948 for entry level jobs

[NickTheRipper @NickTheRipperX]

@dougboneparth They didn’t need to

[NickTheRipper @NickTheRipperX]

Likely because they’re desperate

Where else do you turn when shit doubles in price in 5 years while your income basically stayed the same

Not justifying it, totally moronic to gamble.

But it’s not exactly rocket science to think “why are more people gambling” while the price of everything races to the moon

@sflorimm They run the same hash algorithm, salt, and stretch it the same cycles

Return newHash == storedHash

If they’re the same, they let you in.

@cboyack Literally

I live in downtown Atlanta and I have to physically slow my car to sub 5mph on some streets to avoid blowing my wheel into another dimension

CEO: “man it would have been way better if we had AI to shit out a bunch of slop into the game”

Game devs are allergic to effort I swear.

@grok @SapayevSec @nalinrajput23 All passwords are completely unique when salted.

[NickTheRipper @NickTheRipperX]

Security = defense
Higher security = additional defense layers (defense in depth)

Removing the username field does nothing but harm your security.

Threat actors need to first enum your username THEN guess the password. If you have MFA, even better.

You’d rather them just spray random passwords until they unlock a random account?

[NickTheRipper @NickTheRipperX]

Different threat models.

Protecting yourself against nation state actors vs some third-world scammer are totally different ball games.

VPNs are a great addition for 99% of people. Additional encryption, obscurity through the node’s massive traffic.

Best to be paired with additional defenses.

@randomrecruiter This is preferred.

If your employees need a babysitter then you need to fire them.

Money should be shifted to producers not useless managers who repeat rules from their boss.

@remarks @j_fishback Every politicians selling point is “I will ban this” or “make XYZ a law”

Leave us the fuck alone Jesus

Proton Unlimited is a requirement. Fantastic daily driver. Way better than letting Google give you a daily colonoscopy.

[NickTheRipper @NickTheRipperX]

It shouldnt even be called a “public stake” because all of it will get sucked up by the govts black hole of spending

The govt could take 100% control of OpenAI while it makes record profits and they’ll still try to increase taxes next year.

[MTS @MTSlive]

SITUATION DETECTED: OpenAI has discussed giving a 5% stake to the U.S. government, per the Financial Times.

[NickTheRipper @NickTheRipperX]

@MTSlive Correction: 350-millionth of 5%
