  If someone is left behind, he will die anyway whatever the amount of money thrown to his rescue. Mars isn’t the Moon, it’s a much more hostile environment, even just the journey from the Earth to Mars is a much more hostile environment.

  Trump hasn’t tariff them, let them alone and let Trump put tariffs on penguins instead.

  Fire wasn’t discovered or invented, it was mastered.

  Your brain is running on sugar. Do you take into account the energy spent in coal mining, oil fields exploration, refinery, transportation, electricity transmission loss when computing the amount of energy required to build and run AI? Do you take into account all the energy consumption for the knowledge production in first place to train your model? Running the brain alone is much less energy intensive than running an AI model. And the brain can create actual new content/knowledge. There is nothing like the brain. AI excel at processing large amount of data, which the brain is not made for.

  However, there is a huge energy cost for that speed to process statistically the information to mimic intelligence. The human brain is consuming much less energy. Also, AI will be fine with well defined task where innovation isn’t a requirement. As it is today, AI is incapable to innovate.

  A wearable will be totally useless if the owner has no clue what he should do or don’t. Leaving people with a guilty mood will not help anyone. You cannot improvise yourself a nutritionist and most people cannot. The facts are you must first know how to cook because you will not find a healthy diet in the frozen meal aisle. As you cannot improvise yourself a kinesiologist. That guy, Robert Fucking Kennedy doesn’t know shit about how to turn unhealthy people into healthy people. He’s just a fucking dork with no real life experience.

  That’s why it’s not brute force anymore.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨16 Billion Apple, Facebook, Google And Other Passwords Leaked — Act Now⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m perfectly aware anything can be brute forced and that’s why it doesn’t worth to mention. Now, the amount of resources required to brute force a hashed password has nothing to do with the complexity of the password. No matter what the password is, the hash will have a fixed length and appear as a random sequence of bytes. Otherwise you are not doing it properly.

  The complexity of the password has something to do with guessing the password from dictionary or known most common passwords.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨16 Billion Apple, Facebook, Google And Other Passwords Leaked — Act Now⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  As far as I know, the passwords aren’t stored in the databases, it’s the hash produced by a one-way function that is stored in the database. Grabbing these is useless.

  I have already moved to another instance and I was pretty new on Lemmy as a whole. I think I created my account about a month ago.
