@lungdart They have access to all the leaked data, but if you want to check your password, they (currently or at least used to) offer an API that goes like this:

-You are responsible for hashing your password/ text locally

-You send the final `n` bits of the hash

-Haveibeenpwned sends back a list of all passwords with matching partial hashes

-You are responsible for going through the list and checking if your specific hash is present

If so, you have been pwned

It's a service intended for enterprises to make sure employees don't use cracked passwords.

@lungdart you might need to think up or implement clever zero-trust solutions like haveibeenpwned.com does for password checking. Way above my paygrade.

Oh also:

Syntax error: unexpected end of string input (line 6, col whatever. String starts line 3 with 'toor)

with the site being absolutely dead, I've not been getting the same dopamine hit lately and my digital footprint is starting to be more of a negative than the site is a positive. I'm not upset with any community members or anything dramatic like that, but I think my account is gonna get wiped soon too.

Cool tools, but I think I would probably actually murder a co-worker if he generated/ encrypted secret information from a website like this with zero reputation. Or even a website with a good reputation, for that matter. Everything crypto like this needs to be local and trusted as much as possible/ reasonable.

Amazon? The answer is probably just that they're evil and taking out devs with high salary and replacing them with brand new ones at half the cost and 0% the knowledge of your internal systems.

This is called "brain drain" and is the death throws of a dev team sorry.

I wouldn't make any new clients in the year of our lord 2026. The backend is definitely going down this year.

@DubbaThony consumers are the only sustainable market right now, that's my point. BTC is speculative gambling bullshit as opposed to a real currency, and AI is a good tool but WAY overinflated. There's no reasonable world where the profit equal the investment for AI, so it's essentially guaranteed to fail in some spectacular way soon.

That means WE are the REAL bottom line for Nvidia, and when their bubbles pop, we SHOULDN'T be there for them.

@qwwerty the most boring thing of all time is a paper comparing the training of 2 copies of the same model using 2 different implementations of ML. Yawnnn

@YourMom of course, models are generally initialized with random weights, not zero, because zero weight wrongfully indicates a negative relationship between two neurons. If the weight is random, it can be smoothed out as you train into the correct value as you optimize for your loss function.

I tuned my LLM personality to make ChatGPT drop the sycophancy plus other conveniences about a month ago. It works great and now I don't feel imposter syndrome every time it blatantly over-praises me (it no longer does this)

The importance of this depends on what "ML code" is.

If it's an already-trained model with temperature at some constant, this is slightly interesting because AFAIK an LLM tuned with 0/ constant temp should produce the same results. It's just a program reading the weights of the model.

If it's a container that is training the model twice and comparing results, this is painfully obvious. There's a lot of stochasticity in model training.

thats why i like windows 7. it only took 7 minutes to boot....

@Lensflare @badger yeah the physics of it all makes this question terribly un-fun. That's why I specified it's a visual-only glitch: the world still works, so the only thing left to do is notice

It would probably take me a few weeks. Why? Well, that's just about how often I use a flashlight on something thats kinda far away (typical flashlight use is from my phone on nearby objects)

I'm talking the tops of trees, the end of the street, whatever. Outdoor flashlight use.

I feel like I would notice the lag of the beam on very far targets. It would be extremely subtle, but it would be there. Like switching from 60 to 120 FPS on a game. Otherwise, how would I even know?!

@jiraTicket Nvidia is in a dangerous position where Radeon cards are a very extremely viable alternative and even Intel Arc cards are starting to get good. When you upgrade your GPU, go for AMD instead of Nvidia!

@YourMom yeah for a very short duration they made hash-limited cards, it was firmware. But you need to ask yourself what amount they were producing for consumers vs. the amount they were producing for crypto farms. When crypto boom happened, GPUs were a unicorn in a haystack, and the hash reduced cards didn't do shit. This is because Nvidia could basically sell anything they squirted out of their factories to crypto miners and Nvidia couldn't give a shit and a half about gamers and their cards getting scalped.

@YourMom why would I want to join that list again?

I wanted to say "I think this might really be the time I delete my account" but where the fuck do you go, Reddit? I'd rather die. And I'd rather deal with 5 minute page load times before that.

JS (browser) equivalent:

window["$50.00"] = "JavaScript"

window["$50_00"] = "likes"

window["50"] = "it"

window["else"] = "rough"

1-4 are valid and you can even reference #2 without PO(JS)O notation.

The fact that you indeed have 10 years of experience and additionally said time was not spent with your thumb up your ass doing nothing, probably

That's cool! I just started my first day at github. These idiots think it's some sort of exercise program, but I know better, so I deleted push and pull. Hopefully people appreciate it 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

If you need, I can pose as a consultant and tell them to use whatever you want.

Which - out of curiosity - is what? My personal projects I go 100% vanilla and implement all my own controls as custom HTML elements (sort of like web components, but I typically avoid shadow DOM because it's more headaches than it's worth).

But my personal projects don't have the same level of seriousness as a business project does.

With all the time and code you guys spend and write on devRant peripherals, you could have made sox clones by now. At this point just steal the SVG assets and republish them, dfox isn’t even active enough to shut down the site let alone sue you for stealing.

@Lensflare I don't quite see myself working with Swift or Kotlin in the foreseeable future, unfortunately. I do quite like Swift though, maybe I'll spend a weekend with it one of these times.

@Lensflare That's the tragedy, isn't it? Excited to learn it, but crushed by the reality that it'll only ever benefit me in personal projects or academically.

@Lensflare I think so because on a daily basis I work with other people's code and I can barely think of any place besides a really techy place that will actually use algebraic data types, let alone a language that implements them.

@Liebranca In reference to what you actually said, I agree. From my reading, the real benefits of functional languages is they're optimized for recursion (or, more to the point, they're more optimized to turn recursion into something actually performant!)

From the code I've been writing, it's a lot more difficult, but the code ends up being shorter and a lot closer to what you're actually trying to do.

Like, I saw a quicksort (unoptimized) that was essentially just the algorithm in plain f#. There was barely any implementation, it was just "here's how the algorithm works, here's how to say that in f#, done"

@Liebranca I spent today studying F# and I can confirm the stdlib is the main drawback: it's designed to be compatible with the .net framework 100%, so the function calls are not curried by default, they're tupled. So insted of calling them in a functional way, you call them in a traditional c# etc way;

F#:

print "hello %s" world

F# Standard library:

print("Hello %s", world)

Which was a major disappointment, so I'll be shelving this functional thing and moving to Haskell when I get the itch again. Shame.

@Liebranca seems like it’s a trope in the functional space :(
