ya but you assume someone worked hard on the answer. there are alot of times when you get garbage top to bottom.

Are you confusing the open openSSL library with the CLI? Absolutely none of this is true when used as a signing tool on the CLI. Seems like you just needed to rant, rather than answer my question. Which is fine: I do it to, but I was legit

I've been hearing "Iran is weeks away from a nuke" since the 1980's. It's almost like that dude who keeps saying, "FSD in my EVs is just months away."

Wasn't there a "bounty" program where if it had a lot of views but no answers, the answer rewarded more internet ego points?

And you can't delete your post when you realize how awful it was years later! That anti-information sticks around for ages. Even worse when there are bad answers attached to it, too.

Why not zoidbe... I mean, why not open ssh? It's literally a CLI that does every crypto operation with every primitive (except some PQC)?

I'm sorry you don't understand my answers. Like, at all. Maybe calm down and re-read my responses when you have a clear head? It's all spelled out multiple times.

What didn't you understand? The point isn't whether I do specific thing A or specific thing B, the point is that when I can I do the best in the situation to improve the average. The specifics don't matter. It is the overall

"Quicken is a single-entry accounting system, which means that amounts can appear out of or disappear into thin air. In a double-entry accounting system you can't put amounts in an account without taking it out of another account.

Right there with you. I've tried to leave quicken multiple times. Especially when they moved to annual subscriptions. I haven't tried to leave since 2019-ish, and all the alternatives were just clunky as hell, as if the devs compl

What do you mean re-enter? I've been using every new version of Quicken since 1992 and never had to re-enter all my data, and I switched from PC to MAC around 2005.

I'll see your decade old text file and raise you one more: my current quicken file goes back to 1992! Lemme tell you about gas and grocery prices back then... (hint $1.09/gallon in Oneida, NY and $15/bag at Price Chopper)

About 5 years ago I purged as many apps as I could. I still have some I need for my job, especially on my work-issued iPhone, but excluding those apps I have exactly 5 apps on my phone. Everything has a website. I've heard that native

FWIW: Me too. I want 100% transparency and I have no problem clicking a dialog every single time. My credit card company sends me a lot of alerts and I have no issue spending 5 seconds skimming an email if it means not getting scammed.

Excellent! This discussion will proceed as follows: you will present a laundry list of examples, and if I answer NO to any of them, you win. It will play out as the illustration of the fallacy of all or nothing: if I am not 100% pure, then

We are discussing whether the LLM deciphering is accurate. That hasn't been demonstrated as measured by review, provenance, cross-referencing among historical record, etc.

Sure, but we are talking about generating a random number, not sampling noise: those are two different things, albeit the former can be derived from the latter but not directly and as simply as the parent post claimed. Just sampling analog

I don't think you understand the word "knowledge". Just because an LLM spews out an answer doesn't mean it is correct. It needs to be verified by experts in the field, that's how it becomes factual knowledge. Lord h

by why-o-why 9mo ago
Because the experts weren't cited, and without provenance or review this is just "fancy slop".

This happened in 2013, 9 years before the Act. Hopefully the Act prevents this kind of stuff. The medicare limit is what really confused me. If there is a limit insurance will cover up to, then how is it possible to exceed that limit?

I really don't believe you, but according to HN, I am supposed to trust in good faith you aren't lying. Maybe you just don't have any assets or make very little money. I have equity and cannot just toss it to a collection age

Sample it with what? An infinite precision ADC? This is how old temperature-noise based TRNGs can be attacked (modern ones use a different technique, usually a ring-oscillater with whitening... although i have heard noise-based is coming ba

I can't believe Champerowne's constant was only analyzed as of 1933. Seems like Cantor would have been all over this. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Champernowne_constant

Given the fact that Apple and Coke but rushed to produce AI slop, and the agreements with Disney, we are going to see a metric fuck-ton of AI-generated cinema in the next decade. The broader population's tastes are absolute harbage whe
