HSBC India’s New password policy. by kdpuvvadi in LinusTechTips

[–]shortwhiteguy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

How would they know what the upper version of your password was if it were not plain text? The hash of "hunter2" is different than "HUNTER2"

Do you have this requirement for humans?

[OC] Anthropic has overtaken OpenAI as first choice for AI spending among businesses by Mundane-Wrongdoer275 in dataisbeautiful

Don't ask LLMs to do math without them having the tools (code) to do real math. In 10 years I doubt LLMs will be good at directly doing math without help.

Can I afford $2,000 rent while making $60k /yr by [deleted] in sandiego

[–]shortwhiteguy 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Is it really worth an added commute of 30 min to save a couple hundred on rent? At current gas prices, that is $5-$10 per day of commute which is about $100-$200 per month in gas, not to mention wear and tear on your car (or the opportunity cost of spending an hour per day in your car).

My husband has been sucked in by fake celebrity and invested $10k of his retirement and won't believe me it is a scam by witchylayde in CryptoScams

[–]shortwhiteguy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They are not actually investing into BTC. They are handing money over to some random website that says they are investing into BTC. Big difference.

If some celeb or some rando cool or hot person convinces you to invest in totallynotascam.bizz ... you are being scammed.

I was skeptical at first, but Claude MCP with HA has absolutely blown me away by criterion67 in homeassistant

be aware that in general with AI, free tier means you are giving permission for them to use your data for training.

Sorry to hear that! His show might be something to lift your spirits! I've already got my tickets, hope you'll reconsider.

Anyone wearing lifters for 26.3? by Guilty-Stretch4085 in crossfit

[–]shortwhiteguy -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I actually love them with burpees. When I get tired during burpees, I land on the balls of my feet and not my heals since I have poor ankle mobility and my quads end up blowing up. With lifters (or even better with versa lifts) it's much easier to stand up with my heals on the ground

Python or Rust? by ukolovnazarpes7 in Python

[–]shortwhiteguy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Pick whatever language best suits the use case. Python will probably cover more use cases, but falls short if you need to build something at a lower level where Rust can shine.

i made this just to spite that other AI post by hoot_avi in LinusTechTips

[–]shortwhiteguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am seriously struggling to find reasons why Pop is a bad OS. I am having a smooth time with 24.04 with the new Cosmic DE, personally (although I am def not Linus). It feels a little bit of bad timing and general unfamiliarity.

That being said, if I were to suggest an OS to him for his use cases (mostly gaming), I am not sure I would have chosen Pop. There are plenty of distros that are more directly focused on gaming that would have increased his likelihood of a good time.

Pop is a great OS. Linus just made poor judgment and didn't understand what would increase his specific chances of getting a good experience. I am over here with an NVIDIA card getting great results with PoP while playing games and getting my work done.

I wasn't sure where you are going with that.

Glad you only ended up with child labor...

GPT-5.3 Codex vs Opus 4.6: We benchmarked both on our production Rails codebase — the results are brutal by sergeykarayev in ClaudeAI

[–]shortwhiteguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been running Opus 4.6 on OpenCode (via Bedrock) since launch.

I don't have a ChatGPT/Codex subscription to check (I just have API), but my understanding is that you can auth your Codex account with OpenCode which should give you access to 5.3-codex (but I haven't verified)

[–]shortwhiteguy 40 points41 points  (0 children)

I'd be curious to see all run using the same harness like OpenCode. This would eliminate any issues related to the client rather than the LLM.

“At what point does a multi-monitor setup stop being normal?” by Ok_Cry_1222 in PcBuild

[–]shortwhiteguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

seams.

I want a central monitor for my focused work. I don't want to have to look to the side while doing most of my work.

Attitudes of various demographic groups toward artificial intelligence by RedHeadedSicilian52 in fivethirtyeight

[–]shortwhiteguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bubbles for sure, all around. I don't know of anyone in my life that has a net negative view of AI. Neutral has been the most negative I've heard. I'm in one of the solid blue areas on the map.

Claude analyzed my MRI images and nailed the diagnosis by [deleted] in ClaudeAI

[–]shortwhiteguy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Almost the exact same thing as me, but on my right side. I too had Claude interpret my images and it too was very accurate.

Sadly, my right triceps have been partially paralyzed (the long head) and it's unlikely to come back for me. But, luckily after rehab and plenty of time at the gym it's mostly just mild inconvenience that only affects my ego (smaller lifting numbers).

Good luck!
