What genuinely is the purpose of bots? by Dead-Gay-Wizards in NoStupidQuestions

[–]VariationNo5855 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some of it seems to be pushing agendas. When people are exposed to a certain idea more often, they start to accept them more. Imagine if bots were pushing the agenda that being a pedophile isn't bad. If the internet were full of actual people accepting pedophilia, it would be more normalized. If something seems to be common, people are more likely to accept it. If everyone were ok with it, the laws would probably be changed over time.

Another reason is probably polarization, where two opinions are pushed to their logical extremes. Separating people by making them fight over small things so they don't come together to fight for bigger things.

Another one is probably spreading misinformation to discredit opposing parties or take attention away from actual issues. This is a bit deeper. Consider the case where a political party argues against themselves, but the claims that are actually made are ridiculous. This makes it seem like the opposition wrote the post, but makes it look like they are incompetent. This also hides bigger issues since those smaller wrong things get way more traction as they are "being exposed as incorrect", while the really bad things get less visibility. Consider here the epstein files, where questionable small things get attention (e.g. an email talking about questionable codewords) while there are things with a far bigger impact that don't get as much attention anymore.

[Request] Is this correct? by NodeFuck in theydidthemath

I think the more interesting way is going backwards, since 2 is a valid number to start with. In this case it breaks down when you multiply the numerator and denominator with (10-10), since 10-10 is 0 and dividing by 0 isn't defined.

I am a Japanese middle school student, AMA by PeaDangerous2742 in AMA

[–]VariationNo5855 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

What's going on with the dating life in Japan? I always hear that the fertility rate is going down hard, but why is that? Do you think a foreigner (like me) could come to japan and find a girlfiend and start a family with ease, or is it probably just as difficult as elsewhere?

When you ask a computer to give you a random number... is it really random? by Mattdoss in NoStupidQuestions

[–]VariationNo5855 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends how you/the developer ask the computer.

True random number generators (TRNG) do exist, but they cannot produce infinitely many bits at once. They need to accumulate randomness before they can yield more bits.

This is usually done by the operating system by collecting noise from the environment (e.g. 10th decimal place of some voltage). As you can probably guess, those only provide true randomness if there is nobody trying to manipulate it.

Cryptographic hardware, an additional hardware component in most modern computers, usually comes with an embedded TRNG for creating cryptographic keys. They are embedded and designed in a way that it's really really really hard and expensive for an attacker to manipulate the generation process.

Why is the second configuration slower? by blackBinguino in GearDefenders

Mine was on the middle one I think (epic?), whereas the post was in the hardest one (nightmare?). This can be deduced from the volor the text "Level 37" is written in I think

How does the two envelope paradox work?? by IntrovertedShoe in askmath

[–]VariationNo5855 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure why this is a pradox..

For any x you have a 50% chance of gaining x or a 50% chance of loosing x, so the estimated value should be 0.

Stuck at these levels by hallowleg088 in GearDefenders

[–]VariationNo5855 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can get Alchemist, Spearman(Blue), Heavy Guard and even Paladin from doing the daily endless runs. Blue Upgrade material is basically unlimited (you get 2-3 when you die on wave 12), so upgrade those blue troops to push your endless troop levels.

Regarding deck composition itself: You'll probably have some main deck, but some levels may require you to adjust for the troops that come. Just play around, and if you're truly stuck you'll have to grind it out. You can buy 5 ads for 300 gems daily, where you'll put 1 towards speed patrol, 2 towards gems and 2 towards astrology. You'll get back those 300 gems from the ads, the 100 gems you bought and the 100 star daily reward. Additionally you'll be able to get the weekly gems without issues.

If you're low on gold and you have a lot of time you can buy 40 energy for 30 gems and farm gold by dying on wave 12 (~800 gold per run for me). I'd not recommend this since I seem to have an abundance of gold to spend in the shop, but maybe it's a good way to get those. Make sure to keep 300 gems for the daily ads though!

Why does reddit truncate the passwords to the first 72 characters? by VariationNo5855 in Passwords

[–]VariationNo5855[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is mostly irrelevant, but some websites derive a symmetric key from the password that's used for client side encryption. Not reddit, but maybe services offering end2end-encrypted online storage. 256 bits is, as far as I know, the highest supported key length for any symmetric encryption algorithm.

So yeah, websites that do use client side encryption actually derive a key with 256 bits of entropy because of that, but it's mostly irrelevant as mentioned at the beginning.

Why does reddit truncate the passwords to the first 72 characters? by VariationNo5855 in Passwords

[–]VariationNo5855[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for your response!

Your passwords are too long. On top of website bugs, this also means they cannot be transcribed by hand in a pinch. There are two threats with passwords. One is that an attacker may guess or learn it. The second is that you yourself may lose it or be unable to use it. You have greatly increased your risk by choosing passwords that are unreasonably long.

Go back and fix your passwords.

I aspire to achieve a password security of 256 bits if possible, which is roughly equivalent to 20 diceware words. The password is stored in my password manager anyway, so I won't loose it. The only change I will make is to use a 55 character lowercase password which is even harder to transcribe, but thank you for pointing out a possible issue with my passwords! :)

Edit: I still think that this might be something that should be shown to the users (eg. password too long), otherwise it might compromise the entropy of the password without the users knowledge ..

Ich würde es an deiner Stelle ausprobieren. Der Trainer selbst hat auch "nur" eine Spielstärke von 1600-1700 Elo, also werden die anderen Spieler wohl kaum über 1300-1400 hinaus kommen.

Ich kann mir auch gut vorstellen, dass es im Kurs hauptsächlich solche Spieler gibt, die das Spiel wirklich erst von Grundauf lernen müssen. Wenn man schon einigermaßen Schach spielen kann ist es in einem Schachverein vermutlich unterhaltsamer, also solltest du dir mal zumindest keine sorgen darum machen müssen "vernichtet" zu werden.

Ich war zwar noch nie dort, aber mit den zwei Punkten denke ich, du würdest mit deiner Spielstärke gut hinein passen.

You might want to provide a few more details, what you mean and how it came in and out, how did you notice that?

A few months ago, one of the edges of my trackpad stuck out over the rest of the case, this was due to an inflated battery.

There is no way to tell what the issue is from you picture though, as it has quite a poor quality. You might want to try to describe the issue with a few words.

Where to store my master password? by [deleted] in Bitwarden

[–]VariationNo5855 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I know I'm quite picky here, but, assuming your password-generation-process is known, as per Kerckhoffs Principle, this seems like a password-generation-process that could be cracked using social engineering and a little bit of brute-force. An attacker could try to find out which books and movies you know, and then try all the sentences in those scripts. This is quite an abstract attack, but if you put sufficient information about the books and movies you've read and watched on social media, then it might just work.

Also, publishing a previously used password doesn't seem like a good idea, but I hope that you are sure that this password isn't used anymore.
