@quesadaaa_ this is a category error... rape is an immoral form of sex as murder is an immoral form of killing. you never "murder" in self defence

Rape is the only crime I can think of that's 100% inexcusable. There's absolutely no reason for it ever. In any circumstance. You can murder in self defence, you can steal to help your starving family. Even doing illegal drugs can really help calm people down.
But rape doesn't help anyone except the rapisto And it just baffles me to this day the way people will excuse rape with, "Well he/she was drunk." or "What was she wearing?" or "He's a guy though, he probably enjoyed it."
it's the one crime that everyone should find inexcusable and yet it's the one that people try to justify the most often.

@Hitchslap1 and the female / male average is designed into the tests, not an empirical observation

Corruption is one of the primary outcomes of centralization. The more power and money that you centralize, the higher the incentives to control that power and money. Socialism is centralized by design.

Do you think California will end up being the corruption capital of the United States?

@AsianDawn4 $1.3 million is way too small. That is the less than the seed round for my Web startup in 1997

Kenyans got $1.3 million from the Biden administration for a semiconductor startup. Surprise, it failed.
They're admitting their resources aren't enough. They need patents, infrastructure, trade secrets, more educated workforce, and a lot of outside money.
While the Biden administration gave the Kenyans $1.3 million, they gave TSMC $6.6 billion and Samsung $6.4 billion to build factories in the US.
Even the Biden administration didn't believe in their own bullshit in DEI because they didn't put their money where there mouth was 🤷♂️

@GovPressOffice You do realize I’m trying to help America eliminate fraud and waste right? No need to try and make me look like the bad guy for exposing fraud.
People are over it. Start working for the people and not against them.

Theory:
We don't let LLMs control robots and operate freely in the physical world (yet?) because they'd fall all the time, break everything, and cause massive damage.
But in software the falling and the massive damage are invisible, so it's fine.

I have so much gratitude to people who wrote extremely complex software character-by-character. It already feels difficult to remember how much effort it really took. Thank you for getting us to this point.

AI always tells you how right and how smart you are. If you believe it you are doomed
Yogini Bende@hey_yogini
Vibe coding is creating overconfident engineers. (a rant) We used to debate architecture. Tradeoffs. Patterns. We had opinions about systems, if not, we used to study them. Now we read the AI output, it looks reasonable, we ship it. Without even thinking of other options. We are losing the habit of even asking the question. System thinking is a muscle. And muscles atrophy. There is a difference between an engineer who uses AI and an engineer who has outsourced their thinking to it. Most of us cannot tell which one we have become!

@dieworkwear there are cheap and expensive Vietnamese restaurants. you just aren't going to the right places
English
My woke opinion is that some cuisines, including Vietnamese, are grossly underpriced partly because of racism. Certain cuisines, such as Japanese and Italian, are expensive bc they're part of "high culture." But Vietnamese food requires a ton of labor and tastes just as good.

The price of pho has gotten out of hand. This is a poor man's food made from from scraps, why are you charging $22?

@CyberRacheal I write my passwords down and keep them in my wallet. Is that secure?
English
Password rotation or Forced changes lead to "password hedging," where users just add a number or change one letter (e.g., Summer1! becomes Summer2!).
It is biologically impossible for most people to memorize a high volume of complex, random strings every few months, leading to "sticky note" security risks.
When security is a hassle, users find dangerous shortcuts, like reusing the same "strong" password across every site they own.
The most important fact is that NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology), the global authority on cybersecurity standards, officially retired this method
In its Digital Identity Guidelines (SP 800-63B), NIST now explicitly states that organizations "SHALL NOT require" periodic password changes.
They’ve shifted the focus to Length over Complexity.
They recommend allowing passphrases of up to 64 characters and only requiring a change if there is actual evidence of a compromise.

Password rotation every 90 days actually makes your company LESS secure. Change my mind.
