Hey AI. Here's a plot of land and a robot factory. Make a bunch of construction robots. Build abundant housing. Build farms and food processing facilities capable of feeding all residents, automate as much as possible and staff them with bots. Build nimble repair bots capable of fixing anything that breaks. Build leisure facilities and honestly anything else you think is necessary. Etc...

We're what, a couple decades away from this being possible?

Ah I found this https://ctrl-c.us/posts/test-goarch I guess it's qemu-user-binfmt registering the alternate bin formats to automatically run under QEMU, that's pretty neat

Wait is go test automatically running it under QEMU or what's going on here?

Hah, got it in 4 even though my first guess started with 'a' because I didn't know this was binary search yet

"They’d switch to a 4096 bit RSA key, but not only was I no longer able to mint my own API tokens, the legitimate ones I’d initially generated still worked."

I wonder how the old JWTs signed with the 512-bit key still work safely, isn't that 512-bit key cracked??

This is not really that worrying IMO - we already have weaponized toxins, viruses, and enough explosives to blow up the entire planet. So what if an AI can come up with something a little bit worse? It isn't the existence of these things that's stopping us all from killing each other.

> sounds like you're in a place where an EV doesn't make sense. They don't make sense for everybody, but that doesn't mean they aren't fine for the majority of people who drive. So don't buy an EV

Sounds great, the problem is when law makers get involved - BC is banning the sale of ICE vehicles within the next 10-15 years, the law is already on the books. Plenty of real cold places here, not to mention the fact the our electrical grid will never be able to keep up

Damn, unfortunate that you will revoke all these certificates if there is truly no security risk. This is likely going to break a lot of our users, or require manual intervention within the next 42 hours.

Seems like a very simple email filter would do the job, for internal emails at least

Presumably order numbers are easily guessable, so the md5 really offers no protection at all in this case and is no better than just using the order number

You don't even need to store multiple hashes, just check both versions of the submitted password against the one stored hash

Not necessarily, it could simply be checking both versions of the password against the hash

It really depends how you define automating. I tend to think of writing higher level languages and even libraries and functions as automating the repetitive low-level parts of programming

Forests are basically carbon neutral once they're mature, peat bogs would probably be much more effective as carbon is continually sequestered underwater.
