  • Harper, an offline grammar checker, has released its v1.0.0

  • To be fair pattern recognition is a pretty decent use of AI. And spelling is pretty much a pattern.

    Don't get me wrong I'm not a fan of the chatbots and other LLM's, but any advanced spellchecker is probably using some form of 'machine learning'

  • Why do some people have so many browser tabs open?

  • I used to use sideberry too, now I'm on the zen browser firefox fork and its pretty great

  • Half our ids are called 'number' sooo. Also our entire in-database translation system relies on guids that are not foreign keys. The only reason our ORM doesn't flip on that is because it's completely custom made with semi-autogenerated stored procedures resolving that translation in-database (using yet another SP).

    We are at 2696 stored procedures right now, most of those are simple CRUD (can't do straight selects on our tables because of the translations, so every select with different parameters is a SP)

  • I had to rewrite an iterative implementation I made for an exercise in school because the solution they prepared used recursion. I'm still mad about that. Admittedly the recursive solution was a tiny bit more elegant, but my solution worked too!

  • Cryptographers Held an Election. They Can’t Decrypt the Results.

    Jump

  • In other news the owner of a vault whose key he threw away cannot access the contents.

    It would be way worse if they somehow were able to decrypt the votes anyways without the key. Whether that be by retrieving the key from a backup or a flaw in the system. Because that would defeat the whole purpose.

    All in all the technology they use is very interesting technically, but this event really demonstrates the tradeoff between security and convenience. Imagine if that was the election for a country... Oof

    apparently, the T button dosent exist for some people

  • I think it's annoying so I blocked em after like the third comment of theirs that I saw. I then proceeded to move on and not think about them at all, let alone make a post.

    Same thing with Drag and probably a bunch of other people I blocked. They are free to type whatever they like, but I'm not gonna see it.

  • I'm mostly annoyed by subtitles in theaters as my country is bi-lingual and the subtitles take way too much space, are distracting and in most cases are quite bad compared to the spoken text.

  • Shame...

  • Users: ["admin", "1", "name-of-company"] Password: ["admin", "1", "postal-code-of-company"] The options above in various combinations unlock the admin account on the production server of just about every client at my old job

  • Not as dramatic of a shift, but going to 4k HDR OLED has made me so spoiled in terms of movie watching experience.

  • I'm in Belgium which is probably worse than much of Europe in terms of taxation, and the only issue I have with the high taxes I pay is that there are way too many loopholes for the people earning a lot to avoid paying. So the strongest shoulders do not bear a proper amount of weight.

  • Sadly the whole point of them is maximum tracking, so they're installed on key points of the roads. Mapping a route avoiding these is a fool's errand.
