  • True. My original intention, before discovering how common wonky mp3 audiobooks were, was to use the MKA container (I guess MKA is audio MKV?) to simply preserve the original audio data streams without reëncoding. However, since my script converts to WAV then reëncodes to 48kbps OPUS, I probably should have FFMPEG use M4B as the final output container for clarity.



  • The main issue I have as an editor is that there is no straightforward way to retrain the LLM to correct faulty training as directly or revertably as the existing method of editing an article’s wikicode. Already, much of my time updating Wikipedia is spent parsing puffery and removing phrases like “award-winning” or “renowned”, inserted by malicious advertisers trying to use Wikipedia as a free billboard. If a Wikipedia LLM began making subjective claims instead of providing objective facts backed by citations, I would have to teach myself machine learning and get involved with the developers who manage the LLM’s training. That raises the bar for editor technical competency which Wikipedia historically has been striving to lower (e.g. Visual Editor).

    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.


  • 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.
