“it’s not wasteful because now they’re only wasting less resources”
“it’s not wasteful because now they’re only wasting less resources”
it’s not a mistake because it’s not a real rule
This isn’t an example of how modern English is going to the dogs. Less has been used this way for well over a thousand years—nearly as long as there’s been a written English language. But for more than 200 years almost every usage writer and English teacher has declared such use to be wrong. The received rule seems to have originated with the critic Robert Baker, who expressed it not as a law but as a matter of personal preference. Somewhere along the way—it’s not clear how—his preference was generalized and elevated to an absolute, inviolable rule.
one less thing for you to worry about
But NFTs aren’t wasteful.
i feel this take is a pretty good justification not to care about your opinion on things
pick a quote that you know by heart
so step 1 is actually “learn a long, obscure quote by heart” because obviously it can’t be a common quote or it completely breaks the method, and the only quotes you’re likely to know are common
you’re right this is so easy
you’re still confusing the example with what it exemplifies.
In most other quotes, the only capitalization occurs once at the start, so it doesn’t add any meaningful entropy.
At this rate it’s rather clear that you’re unable to parse simple sentences,
somebody’s a little spicy over the fact that they gave terrible advice :(
“it’s not wasteful because now they’re only wasting less resources”
I use NFTs for a variety of productive purposes. You may not, and that’s fine, but that’s just you. You can’t dismiss anything that you personally don’t have a use for as “wasteful.”
Step 2 is “hard”? Seriously???
I don’t know how you’re meant to remember that “Works” and “Mighty” are capitalized
In most other quotes, the only capitalization occurs once at the start, so it doesn’t add any meaningful entropy.
If you try to harden it further, by using more words
Yours doesn’t scale due to step 3.
On the other hand, much like battery staple, it’s pretty easy to make up a visual or story in your head to connect the words.
Also, why would you need to scale this past 6 words? At that point it’s already more likely that your password is compromised via a keylogger or similar than anything else.
Even in English, a language that typically uses short words, your method requires ~30 characters per password.
I’ll accept this as a downside of the method, but honestly a website that limits your password character length to under 30 is probably doing some other weird shit that isn’t good.
Also, the only time you should really be using this method is if for some reason you don’t want to use a password manager. Not many scenarios like that that also limit characters.
yet the harder to remember
I feel like the exact opposite is true? Pretty easy to remember “defenestrate”. Much easier than remembering which m
turns into a 3
in your method.
The 11 characters password is not the suggestion, but an example,
I’m aware how examples work. It’s 11 characters long and already too hard to remember.
Steps 2 and 3 of your method already make it way too hard to remember
Just pick like 6 random, unconnected, reasonably uncommon words and make that your entire password
Capitalize the first letter and stick a 1 at the end
The average English speaker has about 20k words in their active vocab, so if you run the numbers there’s more entropy in that than in your 11 character suggestion.
Alternatively use your method but deliberately misquote it slightly and then just keep it in its full form.
the citation is because the only way you could claim ai isn’t in a hype cycle at the moment is if you don’t know that that’s a defined term within tech spaces
people still use nfts
Ah yes, the wrong kind of technology.
what point do you think you’re making here?
it’s /c/technology, not “/c/unquestionedpraisefortechnology”
If it’s a “hype cycle” I guess it’ll be going away aaaaaany day now.
my guy even people within the ai r&d sphere acknowledge that it’s a hype cycle
As for AI training, that produces AIs. It’s not wasteful.
👀
yeah because if musk wasn’t involved, lemmy’s community always loves news on the latest ai hype cycle
it was the WEIRDEST bug in our chess ai you guys
the pawn captured another pawn that was NEXT TO IT
like what’s going on there
i like the concept of hiring other gooners to have a big sweaty circlejerk with
an opinion piece is a form of article 🤓
tbh if ai ever reaches its full potential, it will probably be responsible for massively reversing global warming, because when the entire population is unemployed, they won’t be able to afford to travel, heat their homes, buy products, or eat, all four of which are key contributors to emissions
you’re confusing AI with AGI/GI when they’re separate things
we’ve had AI for a very, very long time
oh no their ai is broken they’re stuck in a loop
