Start bulking up by eating well, solid exercise routine, a bit of help from anabolic steroids. Pose with a formula-filled blackboard background shirtless while flexing your biceps for Instagram and Twitter. Become the math bodybuilding icon. Make jokes like "my muscles are not differentially equal to yours". You should build an audience, and after that you'll be able to expand into sponsorships, and OnlyFans. You can also do IRL prostitution, and earn thousands of $ per night. The key is to target either old hags, or rich homosexuals.

Good luck. Let your biceps look like the bell curve of a Gaussian distribution

Large context window LLMs are able to do quite a bit more than filling the gaps and completion. They can edit multiple files.

Yet, they're unreliable, as they hallucinate all the time. Debugging LLM-generated code is a new skill, and it's up to you to decide to learn it or not. I see quite an even split among devs. I think it's worth it, though once it took me two hours to find a very obscure bug in LLM-generated code.

With current kWh/token it's 100x of a regular google search query. That's where the environmental meme came from. Also, Nvidia plans to manufacture enough chips to require global electricity production to increase by 20-30%.

Proton gives data to governments if requested. Why are you trying to shill it?

Pedantic types always mention that secure is only relevant in the context of a particular threat model. The elderly can use hardware authentication like those RSA devices or ubikey. Unfortunately, this is expensive, and banks don't believe there's demand for that. Would you switch banks for this feature?

Good, because it's not of interest.

Even better for your career is being an actual researcher with a good grasp on heap grooming, MAC circumvention instead of spreading FUD over something that can easily be detected with burp.

What about people who only have one device? Kids, elderly, people with only work computer.

Simply paying is not sufficient. You need to be a telecom company, or a researcher afaik.

In what world would the US gov care to get into your bank account? Or your Facebook account when it's already tightly controlled?

Proton is already used for identity management: OTP via email. They'll implement OAuth if there's enough demand for it. A company's purpose is to be profitable, ethics side is largely irrelevant.

Many countries already have digital government ID: Australia, Estonia, Russia.

Watch the video again to see how hard it was for Derrick to get access. He got it via his telecom/academia researcher contact.

S7 will be retired or extended with access control. TOTP apps don't work for edge cases like broken phone. Dedicated token devices get lost. SMS will continue being the main solution for 2FA.
