Mr. Anderson.

Happy cake day!

I was wide-eyed at this, and then I realized that I don't own a laptop either! I have owned a few, but after my last one died 5+ years ago I've just been using my 10 year old desktop computer which doubles as a home server. I do have a work laptop, but I don't own it.

Now with 50% more Hitler!

Except you’re not

Your computer is basically sending a part of your password (the first five characters of a hash) and if the server responds positively to a match it sends all the other possible combinations and your computer looks to see if it matches the rest based on when you typed.

It’s always good to be cautious, but it’s especially important to know how tech works, especially good tech, when it can have immense benefit

That is the correct way of thinking, never trust anything with your passwords.

I was curious on what haveibeenpwned does, so I took a look at what the network tab in dev tools said what was actually sent. When I type a password (say password123) and press check it runs a function that hashes with the "SHA-1" hash function and then sends the first 5 characters of the result. The response is over a thousand lines in the format of 35 hash characters:number of breaches

If any of these hashes are the start of your original hash, you now know it's exposed and how many times it's been exposed.

While I get your concern. I, and loads of other nerds, trust them.

I wouldn't recommend providing any current passwords, but it could be used to determine any recent/previous compromises.

Remove all state machine implementations because they support transitions.

Error 608: Insufficient Hitler

Evidence of what?

Yeah it seems pretty unlikely that any AI chat bots are manipulating code in the complex (whether the output is correct or not is immaterial to the complexity of the changes being made) ways that they are that quickly despite actually being done by humans.
