The cinema company AMC, short for American Multi-Cinema, has been around for over a century and is headquartered in Leawood, KS. In 2012, Beijing-based Dalian Wanda Group became the majority stakeholder. Do they censor the movies?….

Spotify- Chinese investor Tencent Holdings Limited LLC bought 10% of the company back in 2017 while Spotify bought 10% of Tencent’s holdings. Does da CCP censor the songs?

Facebook offered to buy Snapchat for $4 billion, they opted out. Instead, Tencent Holdings bought a large share of yet another tech giant. The Chinese Investor owns about 14% of Snapchat’s shares. And they say TikTok is pure evil😹

TIL Thunderbird still exists.

>This bodes well for the generalizability of these models, because it means they have the potential to learn new associations merely from the additional context provided during inference, rather than having to be provided with that data ahead of time as part of the training set.

Which means that, over a large enough set of input and associations...

These models will be able to see right through the leftist woke garbage that had to be hard-coded into ChatGPT.

there are PHDs studying bullshit all the time and research is a waste of time, it doesn't mean anything. That doesn't give or take away from my view.

you are just slightly out of your depth here arguing for sake of arguing. if you don't like an opinion then simply move on.

Sure ok if there is a massive breach and that corrupts all your passwords and destroys backups but still allows to sync with every device you have destroying those copies and those devices also don’t have backups then yes you might be in trouble. No solution is absolutely foolproof. However what’s more likely, the scenario described here or someone accidentally throwing away their password list or it being lost in some home accident? That’s literally single point of failure

The 8 people who use it will be very happy

You’re the one who tried to bring up your own modest credentials after I already pointed out that PhDs are focusing on this subject. Don’t get defensive when I point out that they make you sound silly. Your view is wrong.

What I meant by destroy the vaults is corrupt them. Then your devices syncs the corrupted one. Done.

As for the use case, fair enough. I don't know I've ever had that issue as my physical devices all have passwords I remember and their passwords never leave my brain. If my physicals get compromised it is game over for everything else as far as I am concerned.

It's not as straight forward as that, as it turns out, LastPass doesn't encrypt everything. The hackers managed to steal customer's unencrypted email addresses, and the list of websites that the customer has passwords for. Maybe even billing addresses

It's funny because these guys who lament science communication are the same ones who'll call anyone else using terms from non-STEM fields "gatekeepers" at the drop of a hat in my experience...

On the on the other hand hand.

am I giving a lecture?

This is simply my view.

> what happens if someone breaches last pass and destroys the vaults and nukes the backups (and given they've been so heavily breached, and I have 0 confidence in them corporately to store safe backups) then what.

I don't see this any different than your previous scenario. All your devices should have local copies. Sure, they may be a bit out of date but for the most part you should have most of your credentials

>My initial point was, there are lots of good reasons to argue against paper vs password manager, but loss isn't one of them

Well then we disagree. In my mind of the major features for LastPass is redundancy and they are more likely to be much better at it than I am and worse case I have copies on my devices. Truly losing a password can be extremely devastating, case in point (though an extreme example):

>LOL If your network is down, what are you signing into you don't have memorized?

Imagine laptop you don't use often being locked and you're on a plane with your phone in airplane mode...

> i use ml/ai models for my job

Awe inspiring credentials.

I’m telling you that “search engine with a summarize function” is nowhere on the same map as how these models work.

I use thunderbird with a paid outlook plugin. I use it for work. I'm hoping that it won't break things. Fingers crossed.

I mean, they already use Gmail so I don't think they care much about this sort of thing.

As I understand it a lot depends on when you started using the service, including the number of rounds used on the master password.

Christ this sub is going to the dogs

Ah yes, makes perfect sense now.

Your telling me this has some kind of intelligence. A mind if it’s own. An artificial intelligence.

Why give two organizations access to your data though. Good opsec is lessening third parties that might have access. Clients on your local machine need another level of trust as well. You have to really, really trust Mozilla to do that.

No we don't/didn't, artificial neural networks are very different from biological ones, and the transformer architecture has nothing to do with the brain.

“AI is a Kafka-esque amalgamation of human behavior deconstructed into a set of interpreted data”

completely a different thing and this encrypts using your device and you need to enter your password to decrypt it. The password is still is not being sent to google as plain text and has never been.
