I’d disagree with that. For example, in many sentences, the most load-bearing (heh) word is “not”, which is also one of the most common words.

Re:The Exponential Time Hypothesis Is False [pdf]

Even if all NP problems could be solved in sub-exponential time, it would not imply that NP ≠ EXP. It seems that many people here are confused about what EXP means – it’s the set of all problems that can be solved in at most exponential time, including those in P.
Re:The Exponential Time Hypothesis Is False [pdf]

This is not a proof of NP ≠ EXP. NP ≠ EXP would mean that there is a problem that can be solved in exponential time, but not in non-deterministic polynomial time. That’s completely different from what they have shown.

It’s much cheaper, having an unlimited plan for just $10/year, or even less if you choose usage-based pricing. Otherwise I don’t know as I’ve never used Migadu.

Typically, in informal writing, you write it as you say it in your dialect, and in formal writing, you use the standardized form of the language if there is one.

This is a great analogy because an excavator is much more expensive than a shovel and can’t fit into small places, so it’s only worth it for large projects.

Unless it’s one of those programs that are like “unrecognized option --help, use -h to see help”.

Microslop uses it. If you want to login to a corporate Microslop account with a passkey, you have to use Microslop software.

You can’t just stop using those websites if your university uses them for student/employee accounts.

Only if the website allows you to use Bitwarden for the passkey.

As the previous article says, some passkeys are open, while others require lock-in, and megacorporations deliberately create confusion between the two.

How so? You can literally convert a JPEG to a JXL that contains the exact same information and is 30% smaller.
