To the first point, I think that the KL divergence is indeed symmetric in this case, 0.4 * ln(0.4 / 0.6) + 0.6 * ln(0.6 / 0.4) no matter which direction you go. Still, there's no avoiding the inherent asymmetry in KL…
Nice overview! Personally, I'd like to argue against storing credentials in plaintext on disk. The usual suspects all have ways to use SSH keys [0-2]. If you really prefer to store credentials, you can cache them for a…
