really wish when people are talking about characterization for vrains that they didn't interchangeably refer to the sub and dub characters as the same people or events (because most times they literally AREN'T because it's that drastic)

but then i think about how it's kind of annoying to me how much, even the sub people, misunderstand the complexities of the personality and disposition of people like Yusaku anyway even if we watched the same thing

like calling him angry or mean when he literally shows how much he cares about others and finding the truth for his own sake and theirs. he gets visibly upset when others are involved and hurt because of his path of revenge. he doesn't want to involve anyone. yes his patience is thin sometimes, but he's not mean at all?

how are you people just saying things like it's true... and then tagging it? why

so here i am wishing once again people did not call Yusaku an angry or uncaring person. he's traumatized and that trauma has caused him to be disconnected from the here and now. he's numb to daily events. he admitted himself that he tried to move on and forget about the incident, but that horrible experience was so deeply ingrained into his flesh and blood that he couldn't forget it. so, he didn't take care of himself and distanced from others. he didn't sleep well and had persistent nightmares about the electrocution, starvation, and loneliness

one of the few things he did have was waking up to the vocal reminder to find 3 reasons to keep on trying. that's just about all he had to think about and all that drove him before he decided to finally fight back and fight for justice for himself and others. to save the friend that saved him from despair. before that, he was just someone going through the motions of living, but not actually living.

though, even if he was manipulated into becoming Playmaker, he didn't place any blame on the circumstances and he still showed that he cares about the well-being of others. the change that occurs for him in relation (to well, his relationships) over 120 episodes is not night and day, but it doesn't need to be. i think it's a realistic example of taking baby steps in recovery (as well as taking steps backwards, too)... he has so many people he relies on and who rely on him and see friendship with him, thanks to that path.

he didn't want to be a hero, but he couldn't afford to lose. someone like him who has lost so much surely didn't deserve to have one of the most important individuals in his life ripped away. he regressed in his recovery by cutting contact with everyone over it to deal with the loss and keep searching by himself.

the story is a tragedy for him... but, equally it is a story about hope. you have to keep reaching out to connect even when you are tormented by loss. keep going and don't give up hope for the light of the future.

so, seeing people boil him down into someone who is just pissed off or doesn't care about others or has no patience for them when he isn't that kind of person at all just makes me feel mad (because i care way too much about this guy, lol)

by all means i know i'm not always 100% right about everything i feel, but sometimes it just feels like people don't get it at all and it's genuinely jarring to me to see people miss the point about him

Haunted Clones Week - Masterpost

@clonefandomevents

I managed to complete 10 fills for Haunted Clones Week (aided by the overlap with Whumptober), although only half are in the supernatural sense.

I'm also pleased by my distribition of characters, with a mix of 501st (Rex, Fives, Echo, Kix), Cody, Fox/CG, and a surprise Wolffe.

Overall, it was not a genre I play with often, but lots of fun!

Fills:

23rd: Time Loops | Breaking Habits (AO3) | drabble | Rex They say that it takes as little as 21 rotations to build a habit. It takes at least as long to break it again.

24th: Left Behind | Out of Time (AO3) | drabble | Kix Kix is used to working to deadlines: completing training sims, saving his brothers' lives... unravelling the mstery of the chips. He is used to failing too. But this time he missed not just the deadline, but also the aftermath, the rebuilding. How does he cope when he has missed his most important deadline by 50 years?

24th: Bloody Hands | Forever Unanswered (AO3) | poem (120 words) | Fives & Fox There is the sound of a blastershot, and between one breath and the next, everything stops. Fives doesn't blame Fox, not really. He just wants to know why.

25th: Marching Far Away (But Still Beside Me) | Missing you at my side (AO3) | drabble | Fives & Echo When clones die, they haunt those they were closest to. So where is Echo? Why is Fives alone?

27th: "Soldier keep on marching on/Head down till the work is done" | Markings (AO3) | drabble | Wolffe This is how Wolffe is known: by his scars, by his paint, by his General.

28th: Haunted Coruscant | Guiding lights (AO3) | drabble | Fox & CG Sometimes Fox envies his brothers; when they die, they are free to march on. Fox will never leave.

28th: Their Armor Holds Their Souls | Mix & Match Clones (AO3) | drabble | Clones The clones aren’t identical, but they are interchangeable. And they learn to capitalise on that.

 28th: [image] Dogtag Memorial | Memories Caught in Amber (AO3) | drabble | Rex When Rex looks at their smiles together in the holo, it is hard to believe it was taken only two years ago. He feels the weight of every day since.

29th: [free] Haunted Utapau | The Nightmare (AO3) | drabble | Cody The Nightmare is unsettling in a visceral way, but after years of the nightly visions they are used to the feeling. And they always wake up. He just needs to wait until he wakes up...

30th: [free] | Standard Procedure (AO3) | ficlet (490 words) | CG Being in the Coruscant Guard comes with unique challenges, so they develop rules and procedures to manage them. Blackout missions are just another item on the list.

🌌- Their alternate universe self

{ 🎲 You rolled: Ex-Con!Ben & Dark!Ren }

Was just hot, was all. Fahrenheit was a good bit over one hundred, and Ben's shirt stuck to his back like cling wrap. He should have gone back to Beth's rental, back to her sweetness. Cool air, cool hands. They'd drive to California. His dog would fall asleep on the way. 

Ben shouldn't have walked into that red rock chamber. Here he was anyway, like. His brain cooking under his cap in stale air. Sunrays poked holes through the anticline; it was just shallow and light enough to see the end of it. Like shining a flashlight at the roof of a mouth, some uvulic plinth scalloped out of the ground at its center. 

Most of the caves out here were interchangeable, but when the hair on the wet back of Ben's neck pricked in that smoldering cove, he recognized it as a pinch of familiarity, knew he'd been here before, and was not unattended. He could see it. 

A shape darker than his shadow hung from the craggy ceiling, assuming a pattern about Ben's shape and size, and dropped fluttering to the ground, a black sheet, shattering stalactite. It whispered something to him as it rolled up from the sift. 

Listening to it speak was putting his ear to a seashell. Ben held onto that distance as his breath cracked in a throat too dry to swallow. Used as he was to the sun's dusty weight, he still told himself that’s what he was dealing with—a mirage—a hallucination—heat stroke.

So you cannot face yourself.

The whisper rose with it as it stood. Ben stepped back, nearly jumped out his skin—or thought he did. It was hot as hell. Maybe he hadn’t moved at all. Maybe he was hearing things, seeing things. The way he heard his thoughts echo, his internal disagreement ringing dolorous bells. That thing heard, too, and it whispered.

You're afraid. Why? 

Even if Ben could find it in himself to answer it, he couldn't tell. Times he feared there was nothing to be afraid of. 

You're formidable for your kind. 

Blood was poaching his arteries now, heat rushing through flared nostrils. Anger was only secondary to fear. 

There is no more threatening thing in this valley between you and death. 

But naturally, like Nadine said, anger was fear in a mask. He saw it over the ball of his bunched shoulder—a pitted black totem, something Ben could have carved, pulling out from his shadow. An inky rebirth in the desert, flooding forward.

Come and look, man. I'm not freedom. Freedom is—

" 'A place that comes for you.' "

It took a moment for Ben to register his own voice conjuring those words. Saying them again for the first time in so long... they made him shudder even in that heat. They almost made him forget the dryness in his throat, that thing swinging forth, closer. Ben shook himself present and could make out a wireframe arm. Those weren't shells strung in that thing’s shroud; those were bones. 

Then he remembered. Beth. D.O. The car that could do 120 in top shape. Movement.

Ben moved, turning and rushing along the ragged purfle of an arroyo lashed with small Joshuas. He didn't look back to see if it followed. He knew it would trace him along the creosote until he reached Beth. If it was a child's game to pretend it couldn't attain him there, let him be a child. Let him trust in magic. 

⋯

Ripping the cap off his head, he rapped it on the window that was lucky enough to meet the tip of Beth's nose and palm. Her smile wasn't a mirage. It said, 'Where ya been?' Ben said, "Sorry," between breaths and looked sheepish. He apologized for losing time, for keeping the car door open, for taking 'just a minute,' for rousing a grumpy D.O. with his tossed cap, and again for sending his soaked-through t-shirt the way of his cap, for sweat on the leather. The smell.

Beth giggled and called him silly; quick, come, he'd roast in the sun, pinched red. His smile, cautious yet alive, said, ‘All right,’ but first, he grabbed one of their two bottles—not the canteen, the plastic—and gulped down water. After a considering glance at Beth, who sat bare and cross-legged behind the wheel, he poured the rest on himself. By the time he blinked the water from his eyes, his shoulders were dry, and his breathing was level. 

Lowering himself into the passenger seat, he wondered if he should tell her about the cave—the mouth—the thing. Somehow, he felt she already knew, like she had once wandered into a grotto and seen through to the other side of herself. Maybe in the ocean, in Africa, New York, Hawaii. She'd been a lot of places. Maybe freedom was something you went to. 

He kissed her instead, the kiss itself too brief and, to his mind, too wet, and let his hair fall back on the headrest. Closed his eyes. Water trickled down the trough of his sternum. 

There wasn’t any First Order. There wasn’t any Ren. It was just hot.

"Human nature is determined as much by the nature of the mind and the structure of its senses as by the external objects whose presence the mind reveals."

"Zen points out that our precious 'self' is just an idea, useful and legitimate, but disastrous if identified with our real nature." - Way of Zen, Alan Watts - Pg. 120

Early in this book an idea is discussed regarding the difference Eastern and Western perceptions develop as influenced by the conventions of language. Not as a critique, but the notion of how powerful centuries and millennia of describing the function and form of the world in unique ways affects the way a culture perceives their place in the world. The specific differences between East and West in their perception of "Mind, Form, and Matter" were interesting, but difficult to ground.

In the West all three categories are utilized which lends itself to discriminatory perception fixated in cataloging events as definitively as possible. In the East, Mind and Form are regarded as one and the same, such that viewing a things form makes it real in mind as its form influences the minds perception of the world and our role in relation to it. It's a minor distinction, but one which has influenced countless evolutions in language which gives Eastern dialect it's flowery prose and the ease with which aspects and constructs of nature may be used interchangeably with aspects of sentient personality.

The initial description of these differences was clear, but hard to ground into relational properties for me. These passages, especially the former, assured me of my understanding - or at least of my interpretation.

I care too much about unit systems and so I shall detail my love for them below:

For science (and baking which is a kind of science) metric is flat out the only option! a common basis of metrology is actually the foundation of modern society

(you cant levy accurate fiat currency taxes without a precise system of measurement, and the trade of high precision interchangeable parts falls apart without traceability. we see this especially in cases where a gas station's tank has a leak and suddenly the gasoline has a higher percentage of water, damaging vehicles. this is why gasoline pumps have certification stickers on them and regular testing is required)

this goes so far that the modern imperial system is actually defined in relation to the metric system!

As for the variety of other systems (including the imperial system) they are actually best understood as a system of "parts" where the actual base measurement has low fidelity but divisibility and scalability are still important (a relic of low precision in manufacturing while retaining the need for a measurement system for trade, cooking, manufacturing and other daily life activities. )

thinking of it this way the seemingly nonsense ratios do actually have a explanation, so much so that even metric still uses them for time! (there have been historical attempts to change to base 10 time that have all failed)

the whole basis of imperial units is divisibility without a calculator

for example 10/3 is 3.3333333 while 12/3 is 4

for example for time (base 12 and base 60)

10 is divisible by 5 and 2,

12 is divisible by 6,2,3,and 4

100 is divisible by 2, 4, 5, 10, 20, 25, 50.

60 is divisible by 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 10, 12, 15, 20, 30

so the ease of mental math means that a third of an hour is 20 minutes not 33.333.... minutes

similarly for volume the gallon/cup/teaspoon/tablespoon is based all around multiples of 3 and 4 to make it easy to resize recipes

for miles and feet vs kilometers and meters

5280 is divisible by

2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 11, 12, 15, 16, 20, 22, 24, 30, 32, 33, 40, 44, 48, 55, 60, 66, 80, 88, 96, 110, 120, 132, 160, 165, 176, 220, 240, 264, 330, 352, 440, 480, 528, 660, 880, 1056, 1320, 1760, 2640

1000 is only divisible by 2, 4, 5, 8, 10, 20, 25, 40, 50, 100, 125, 200, 250, 500

from a historical perspective the metric system is only able to flourish in a world with easy high fidelity floating point computation and high precision metrology while the imperial system makes sense in a world where ratios are reliable and absolute measures are scarce

neither has inherent superiority but actually are adaptations for the constraints they exist within

(Fahrenheit is still a mistake though)

ultimately I think talking about the US’s idiosyncratic units, date system, etc. is the mildest possible form of critique

which makes people’s fervent defense of them all the funnier

the frame configuration is way off but the style is right. and no need for the large rectangular post. though appears like an ebike. ok. but not needed here revere the fame that is above the batery to the standard p ositiono use the top bar and put the rectangle on forthe ebike. use a gas tanke and angled if a motorcycle. use tires for both not the mountain bike rims now are lightwieght adn one pound assmbly more. worth it. hydrolic disks the same for ebike and motorccle scooter. lightwieght alloy frame cast. and tons do it now but it has been and is bing done. the size right for cast though it is not and is hard to make. very hard ok. the rear fok sturdy anough. and he wants us to make them in our areas and w recycled material and we shall. and to call it Gogswell well we think on it and ok shall. lol. and interchangable. and a reconfig to standard of the rear shock and one to make it appear to be a moped or ebike or emotorccle or motorcycle depending on the application one frame msotly the same wheels and tires same fork lights and more. electroncis

Comparing Saunas with Steam Rooms: Unlocking the Hidden Health Benefits of Saunas

Introduction Saunas have long been considered a top choice for unwinding and rejuvenation. The advantages of saunas go beyond simple relaxation, though. The many health advantages of routine sauna use have been made clear by recent scientific studies. We'll look at the amazing benefits saunas provide for your body and mind in this blog post. We'll also go into detail about the variations between saunas and steam rooms so you can choose the one that best meets your needs.

Saunas: A Health Haven Since ancient times, people have used saunas for their healing properties. In a sauna, the high temperatures cause perspiration, which aids in the removal of toxins and other impurities from the body. In addition to purifying the skin, this detoxification process also encourages greater general health.

Saunas benefits also provide a number of advantages for cardiovascular health. Regular sauna use can assist to increase heart health, decrease blood pressure, and improve blood circulation. Blood arteries enlarge as a result of the sauna's heat, which increases blood flow and oxygen delivery to the body's tissues.

Additionally, saunas provide a distinctive form of relaxation. The heat and steam work to loosen up tense muscles, lessen stress, and lessen the effects of anxiety and sadness. A sauna session's endorphin release improves sleep quality and fosters a sense of wellbeing.

Steam Rooms vs. Saunas: Picking the Best Alternative Although the terms saunas vs steam room are frequently used interchangeably, the two actually differ significantly. Dry heat is used in saunas; this heat is typically produced by an electric heater, a wood-burning stove, or infrared heat. A normal sauna is between 160°F and 200°F (70°C and 95°C) in temperature.

Steam rooms, on the other hand, use moist heat produced by a steam generator. A steam chamber has a lower temperature, typically between 110°F and 120°F (43°C and 49°C). The high humidity in a steam room intensifies the experience and may be good for respiratory health.

Similar advantages, like relaxation, enhanced circulation, and detoxification, are provided by both saunas and steam rooms. The decision between the two, though, ultimately comes down to preference. A sauna may be the best choice if you like dry heat and higher temperatures. A steam room, on the other hand, can be more appropriate if you prefer moist heat and cooler temps.

Utilizing the Benefits of Saunas It's crucial to adhere to a few rules in order to get the most out of saunas. Here are some pointers to maximize your sauna experience:

Hydration: To stay hydrated, drink a lot of water before and after using the sauna. It's important to hydrate your body after a sauna session because the perspiration can cause fluid loss.

Starting with shorter sessions, progressively extend your time in the sauna. To prevent overheating, aim for workouts that last between 10 and 20 minutes. If you start to feel dizzy or uncomfortable, pay attention to your body and leave the sauna.

After your saunas health benefits treatment, give your body time to gradually cool down. To control your body's temperature, take a cool shower or lie down in a cold place.

For the majority of people, two to three sauna sessions per week are enough to reap the rewards. However, if you have any underlying medical issues, speak with your doctor.

Conclusion Beyond just being a relaxing experience, saunas have numerous health advantages. Regular sauna use can benefit your overall health benefits of saunas in a variety of ways, including detoxification, improved cardiovascular health, stress reduction, and better sleep. Keep in mind that both saunas and steam rooms offer different sensations and advantages, so choose the one that best suits your own preferences. Unlock the revitalizing potential of saunas in your life by embracing the power of heat and steam. You'll feel the benefits in your body and mind.

Cadillac's Electric Strategy - What Do We Know?

Cadillac announced that it would become an all-electric brand by 2030 and confirmed that no new gas-powered models were under development.

Cadillac is no stranger to advancing the state of the art in automotive engineering and design. In its 120-year history, Cadillac rolled out many technologies we consider obvious today, but in their time were revolutionary.

Some examples of Cadillac leading the way include interchangeable parts (demonstrating the ability to take cars apart, scramble the parts, and put together a fully functioning car), electric starters, automatic air conditioning, theft deterrent systems, as well cylinder deactivation. So, it should be no surprise that GM would use Cadillac to push its electrification plans forward.

This started back in April 2021, when Cadillac announced its LYRIQ SUV. About the size of the XT5, this all-electric Cadillac served not only to usher in a new platform and powertrain but also the end of Cadillac’s naming scheme (which has been with us since the original CTS in 2003).

How will a company that was making high-performance, fire-breathing machines with great Nurburgring times change course?

What does an all-electric Cadillac brand look like?

How will this shift affect dealers and consumers?

To understand Cadillac’s plans, we need to start with GM’s overall electric car strategy.

General Motors has decided that electric propulsion is the future and is positioning itself to be a leader in electric vehicle technology. Previous offerings from the company such as the Chevy Bolt and the Spark EV, have been gas-powered platforms handed over to a partner (in this case LG) to re-engineer with electric power trains. They were a hedge while they waited to see if the market was really going to move towards electrification.

Once GM determined that electric cars were the proper strategy, they began work on future models that are more ambitious. These mark a move to EVs that are designed and engineered from scratch to be electric.

New models are designed from the ground up to take full advantage of the flexibility of the electric components. These new models are optimized to be electric and therefore not limited by needing to support gas powertrains. Additionally, GM has been working to develop its own electric motors and battery technologies rather than depending on the expertise of suppliers.

This use of an electric vehicle native strategy means that GM should be able to bring EVs to market with fewer compromises. This differs from what some other companies have been doing. Witness BMW’s electric strategy where new models are designed to support gas powertrains and electric propulsion in the same models.

This multiple powertrain strategy leads to platforms that support a large battery pack, electric motor(s), and all the supporting power management components of an electric car. Additionally, these same platforms need to be designed for gas or diesel engines as well.

This compromise results in a platform where electric powertrain models have provisions for all the air/fuel/exhaust routing they do not need. It also means that traditional powertrain models have provisions for a giant battery pack - despite not having one. At the very least this means inefficiency in their designs.

GM’s electric vehicle strategy is different. Marketed as Ultium, this is an electric-only design that does not have the ability to use traditional powertrains and their ancillary systems.

Ultium architecture underpins all of GM’s new electric vehicles from the GMC Hummer EV, several models of Chevrolet, all the way to the Cadillac LYRIQ and CELESTIQ. All use similar battery pack technology and electric motors. This shared engineering gives economies of scale that help drive the cost of GM’s EVs down.

GM has decided that the transition to electric is going to mean offering both traditional gas-powered models and their electric replacements side-by-side for a time. Multiple models are being marketed and sold, in some cases (see the Chevrolet Blazer, Silverado, and Equinox) alongside a new Ultium-based EV with a very similar name (for example, Blazer EV, Silverado EV, and Equinox EV). For Cadillac that means the XT5 and the very similarly sized LYRIQ.

Apparently, the confusion and extra marketing dollars spent with two different vehicles with similar names or market positions are considered acceptable during this transition.

So, given this strategy at the corporate level, what is Cadillac going to be doing in the remaining years of the decade to get to the all-electric model lineup?

First, we can look for clues in GM’s recent trademark filings. As mentioned in recent news, Cadillac is going to standardize with model names that all end in -IQ. We have already seen this in the LYRIQ and CELESTIQ as well as the recent announcement of an electric Escalade, the ESCALADE IQ. Trademarks also reveal a the name of a long-wheelbase Escalade, the ESCALADE IQL.

Other names we know are coming for Cadillac’s new models are:

VISTIQ LUMISTIQ ASCENDIQ SYMBOLIQ OPITQ

We can look at the current lineup and see what Cadillac needs to replace.

CT4 CT5 CT6 - This is still on sale in China. A new sedan between the CT5 and CELESTIQ would be a nice addition to the North American market. CELESTIQ XT4 XT5 - already replaced nicely by the LYRIQ XT6 ESCALADE IQ and IQL - to replace the Escalade and Escalade ESV

It is anyone’s guess which name would fit each product segment, but it is interesting to see the trademark filing gives us a name for practically every model in the current lineup. It could suggest that each sedan may get an electric replacement in the spirit of the CELESTIQ.

Spy photographers have also seen SUVs smaller and larger than the LYRIQ in testing (so matching up with expected XT4 and XT6 replacements).

It is also possible that this transition could allow Cadillac to remake certain products by rethinking what the market wants - perhaps this means some change for current CT4 and CT5 buyers (since sedan sales have been dropping quickly for years now).

There are rumors floating around that Cadillac plans to have 8 all-electric offerings on sale by the end of 2026, much like the list above. This suggests that the current gas-powered cars will start to be phased out shortly thereafter. However, this also allows Cadillac the flexibility to keep profitable gas cars in showrooms between 2026 and 2030 if sales of electrics do not immediately grow. Slow growth could come from customer reluctance, but also from limitations in the supply chain that could constrain how many of the new Cadillacs they can build.

In the meantime, the gas powered models won’t be left completely alone. For instance, the XT4 crossover was recently freshened. It should be no surprise that the XT5, XT6, and Escalade see freshenings in the next 2-3 years before they ultimately sunset. We should also expect CT4 and CT5 to also get updates as well - perhaps even bringing styling more in line with the CELESTIQ.

So, that covers the basic logistics of converting the brand…but if Cadillac was just replacing gas cars and SUVs with electrics…what is going to drive customers to want them?

Ultium is not only an electric-first strategy to build a new platform with many common parts to cut costs. The Ultium cars also bring support for the latest technologies that luxury buyers expect. Every Cadillac on the new architecture will natively be able to support GM’s Super Cruise and Ultra Cruise autonomous driving tech. They will have cellular connectivity and modern computers that will enable GM to repair issues or offer new features ‘Over the Air’ (OTA) - i.e. without a trip to the dealer.

Imagine new driving modes, more autonomous driving features, or even more power - all available with the same ease as updating your cell phone’s software.

Electric motors can have massive power and instant torque - making it likely that the electric Cadillac line will be the fastest cars the brand has ever offered. With easily offered all-wheel drive (an electric motor at each end that is connected via software provides a simple and highly effective method to provide all-weather capability and high performance) - the V-Series and V-Series Blackwing will likely still be offered.

Modern battery and charging technology also means that rapid recharging and gas-car competitive range will be available. Expect 300+ miles of range in normal driving with the ability to DC Fast Charge in 15-20 minutes on road trips at public charging stations. Given GM’s recent announcement that they will support Tesla’s charging standard (North American Charging Standard - NACS), Cadillac will have access to the widespread Tesla Supercharger network making cross-country travel nearly as good as traveling in a gas car - and getting better every month.

‘Nearly’ means that Cadillac buyers will have some adjustments to make, but not away from high performance, high technology, and luxury. The adjustment will be learning how to operate and care for cars that are fast and fun but trade it for a more leisurely ‘refueling’ experience. This may be offset by getting a home charger installed so your Cadillac is always fully charged and ready to go when you leave home. A number of customers might never have to stop at a gas station again. However, recharging times will need to be considered during long road trips - where charging should be coordinated with meal stops, hotel stays, or shopping - so the time doesn’t feel wasted.

Dealers will need to train their staff on the strengths of the new models. They will be the front line for helping customers understand what ‘going electric’ will mean for them. They could easily turn out to be Cadillac’s lynchpin and could make or break a successful transition of the century-old company to new technology.

Our electric Cadillac future is coming fast. While it may seem unsettling, the technology is maturing rapidly and the new electric models promise to do all the fun things we expect from the Cadillac brand while setting up exciting products for decades to come.

Cadillac’s first 120 years were of a brand that moved transportation forward. It looks like their future will be more of the same.

Entropy of Image-based Password

I wrote “The entropy of a combination of several images against automated brute force attacks? — It can easily exceed a million bits” in my previous post “Hypothesis? — Yes, it was Hypothesis Two Decades Ago”

I hear some people are suspicious of that figure. Let me try a simple calculation to prove that it is not an overstatement.

A pixel usually requires 24 bits for full-colour rendering, which means that 50,000 pixels would get us to a 1.2 million bits. Assume that a credential is made from a combination of 5 images, an image needs to be 10,000 pixel (100x100) for achieving 1.2m bits, that is, 100x100x24x5 makes 1,200,000

Should we put a 1,000 x 1,000 image behind a 100 x 100 sumnail, the entropy of the combination of 5 images would be 120 million bits (1000x1000x24x5) . Moreover, we could put any larger unique random data (giga, tera and so on) behind the sumnails that citizens need to identify. The burden on citizens will remain that of locating 5 images.

Well, this feature is common to all the grid-formed picture passwords, not unique just to our proposition. What makes our solution unique is that we enable and encourage citizens to make use of their non-volatile episodic image memory, say, images linked to their emotion-coloured personal experiences, making it possible to reliably get secret credentials generated and regenerated on-the-fly. . The burden on citizens will be that of locating 5 UNFORGETTABLE images embedded in decoy images.

By the way, while it’s the text-only password system that frustrates people intolerably, some people apparently love to turn it into the frustration over the password as a whole.

It’s really queer. If we dislike the password, we would naturally dislike the text-only password that is a part of the password. Can the reverse be valid?

Should you dislike an old male lion, would you automatically dislike the whole cat family with new born cubs included? Is a subordinate category interchangeable with a superordinate category?
