So, a data-hoarding pirate who is also a prolific fanfic writer?

College builds civilization by staging collaborations of people dedicated to integrating threads of past information with one another to generate and share new information. Relying on LLMs to perform said integrations lowers the quality of the generated information unless you also have the same LLMs presenting their research at conferences, performing peer review, and other collaborative aspects of academia.

There's an oversupply of ununionized trucker labor, so they'll likely just replace you until union strikes cause a labor shortage.

In my opinion, an acceptable password length should be L in ln(alphabetSize^L)/ln(2) = (B bits of entropy). For a Bech32 character set (since it excludes ambiguous characters), alphabetSize = 32. A good password should have been 96 and 256 bits of entropy, with 128 bits being my personal preference. This means L = (B)*ln(2)/ln(alphabetSize) = 128*ln(2)/ln(32) = 25.6 = 26 characters.

That's… pretty close to what OP said they were restricted to, so maybe the person who set the 24 character restriction used a similar methodology.

To me, this ADHD quirk would be considered a high capacity for curiosity if only:

  • there existed a technology permitting people to speed up their minds so they could comfortably complete their rabbit hole thoughts without interrupting their daily chores or degrading their social abilities.
  • the quantity of daily work required to live a comfortable life were low enough that people could comfortably explore rabbit holes to their conclusions in their free time.

If you subscribe to the definition of inflation that assumes renting instead of home ownership and homesteading in rural frontiers with challenging weather (deserts, swamps, tundra) rather than in gentrified places with pleasant weather (e.g. every existing metropolitan area).

The way I see it, unless people somehow shrink in size or a wormhole opens to another Earth-like planet, real estate prices are inversely correlated to population which continues to rise.

The special counsel, Jack Smith, asked a federal judge in Washington on Monday to dismiss the indictment charging President-elect Donald J. Trump with plotting to subvert the 2020 election, bowing to a Justice Department policy that says it is unconstitutional to pursue prosecutions against sitting presidents.

Minutes after the filing in Washington, Mr. Smith made a similar filing to an appeals court in Atlanta, ending his attempts to reverse the dismissal of the other federal case against Mr. Trump. In that case, Mr. Trump stood accused of illegally holding on to classified documents after he left office. Prosecutors said they intend to pursue Mr. Trump’s two co-defendants in the documents case.
