The correct answer is that there is no way to make fission cost-competitive with the near-term price of renewables + storage, or even with imported synthetic fuel produced with renewables, waste or no waste. Thus, the whole issue is moot. No such SMRs will be built except where coerced funding carefully excludes true cost from the process (as indeed happened on behalf of every single utility reactor in operation.)

Any citation suggesting competitiveness always neglects the subsidy of disaster insurance, which cost would exceed operations cost if paid. Instead, society at large pays it.

Renewables are by a large margin the cheapest sustainable energy production systems ever fielded. Storage cost is falling even faster than renewables costs still are. (Until we have enough renewable generating capacity to charge storage while meeting demand, building out substantial storage would be a misuse of funds better spent getting to that point. By that time, storage will be very, very cheap.)

Renewables are being built out faster than ever, but still way too slowly to fend off climate catastrophe. Diverting money from
renewables build-out to anything else brings catastrophe nearer.

I suppose that depends on what you define as "city center". Just checking Ikejiriohashi (arguably walking distance from Shibuya) I see plenty of 2LDKs for $2k-$3k a month. If you want inside the Yamanote line there's tons in East Shinjuku and north and east of that area that are "cheap".

And of course like you mentioned, going out of the city it gets even cheaper.

In general it's "who you are" (biometrics) as well as "what you have", with the OS being the one ensuring that the phone itself was unlocked and having an extra biometric check when signing in with passkeys; this is how iOS currently works, it pops up face ID before it signs any Webauthn challenges.

Also, ideally, your syncing passkey solution (whether that be 1password or iCloud Keychain) would itself be a combination of multiple factors before you can get in - in the case of iCloud Keychain, 2fa is on by default on your Apple account, and the keychain is also protected by your password plus the passcode of one of your devices. In general this is already immensely more secure than passwords because the website is verifying a signature instead of the correctness of a shared secret. So, it'd still be possible to have 2fa with the first factor being passkey and the second factor perhaps being another physical security key or maybe verification of an email code, but that would likely be reserved to enterprises and high-security applications.

(I assume Apple themselves aren't going passwordless themselves anytime soon, especially with how that'd work on fresh devices).
That’s my suspicion. These trials have been happening for a long time now and still nothing more than “on week 3, the same amount got done.” If it was such an obvious win, I’d expect at least a little more long term changes and some companies promoting it.

There is some nuance there. Because SLA violations typically have real-money impact, they're often backed by internal objectives (SLOs) that are quite a bit tighter. So if an API promises four nines of availability in its SLA, there is probably an internal target that's at least four-and-a-half nines, if not five.

Which is to say, I would not be surprised if many APIs with a four-nines SLA were actually closer to five nines.

From a planning perspective, you should probably stick to the public guarantees (i.e. the SLA), though. Although things can always go horribly wrong, like in the big Atlassian deletion snafu recently.
Disclosure: I work for GM. Anything expressed here is solely my own opinion and experience.

I think each statement is true.

Context: for ages, OEMs (the factory) have had a belief that Americans will not wait to buy a car. There's also a bit of a prisoner's dilemma: if any automaker wanted to trim inventories, the customer could go to a competing automaker's lot and buy today. Since customers will not wait to buy a car, a dealership must have some quantity of vehicles that are acceptable to buy today.

Now customers are used to waiting and nothing really catastrophic happened to the dealer or the OEM. In fact profits went up substantially. If OEMs or dealers had worked together to limit inventory, that would be illegal market manipulation. (I'm sure someone may build a conspiracy theory out of this, but I do not believe any intentional market manipulation took place).

Dealerships hate carrying extra inventory because it costs money to finance the vehicles until they sell them.

However, there are also salesperson and dealership bonuses based on volume, so that individual salesperson is feeling the pinch. Kind of similar to how crazy home prices are right now (in many large cities) - the homebuyer is hurting, but the real estate agents aren't making a commensurate amount of extra money because the market is relatively inelastic.

In future American OEMs may move to a more European model where vehicles are built to specific customer order. This takes on the order of two months at the moment for many legacy reasons, but there is no need for it to actually take this long.

Could Passkeys ever be used for SSH? I purchased a Yubikey to use as an ed25519-sk key but found the implementation to be too drastic of a change to my workflow to be comfortable with. TouchID / FaceID for SSH would be a totally palatable solution however.
Apple Passkey is an implementation of WebAuthn. It's a feature which their devices support (and will soon be able to synchronize through iCloud), not a service -- there's nothing that needs to be "hosted".

> Fun fact: even with the latest release of Chrome, Safari is surpassing Chrome in Interop 2022[0]

There's only two things that Chrome is noticeably behind Safari on (Interop-2022-wise).

1. Colour spaces and functions.

-- Easy enough to implement, it's just some matrix math in the graphics stack.

-- It's not something that web developers in particular are crying out for just yet.

-- It's more for designers who want to remove the scss build step out of their build stack while still being able to make hue changes (using css' custom properties instead of scss' variables). But scss won't be going anywhere until css nesting has broad browser support. I'd argue that nesting is much more desired than expanded color support.

---- In fact, I just had a look at the last state of css survey. Nesting was the third most requested feature. Color spaces didn't even appear in the list. Going further, a search over the ~2k comments shows 47 responses using the word "color" and 168 using the word "nest".

2. Subgrid.

-- Google has/had been working on a new layout engine (LayoutNG) for chromium for quite a while. Subgrid support is/was easier to implement and maintain on the grid component of their new layout engine (GridNG), so they didn't bother making an implementation for their older layout engine. Microsoft and Agalia have both been working on the Subgrid implementation for the chromium core to push it forwards faster.

-- Personally I'm fine with this delayed approach to make sure it all works. It's more reliable for web developers than Safari's often maligned: "Hey we released this feature and don't care that it's broken. If 10% of it works we consider it a success." attitude.

> Say what you will about Apple, but I think the team behind Safari has been doing some fantastic work to make up for its reputation

I'm not going to give Apple a pat on the back for trying to catch back up to web standards only after lawmakers start eyeing up Apple's monopolistic and destructive web and app store practices.

In some ways I think this “meta” conversation style is part of the early stage of nearly every social network. Especially the ones that are public messaging by default (as opposed to something like FB or IG which was in theory at least, friends and family first). Twitter was a lot of talking about Twitter. Mastodon was and sometimes still is the same. Reddit had lots of meta chats.

Even the early stages of fb had discussion of how it compared to hi5 or whatever network we migrated from. Same with google plus.

I think one mark of success of the network is the moment it escapes that conversation. In my opinion it means that the usage of the network is no longer a novelty and is now part of a routine.
This sounds the same to me as saying: "The gunshot didn't kill him. The infection did."
And how does that make KYC unreasonable?
I think they must know they need to have some sort of migration/export strategy. Maybe its just to early for that to be implemented yet. I mean I'm not even aware of any websites that support Passkeys as the sole auth method.

How are these handled in Chrome/FF/Windows/etc.

> What is being discussed in Cuba goes beyond anything existing in the rest of the world, but the most astounding thing is how democratic the process is.

We had something similar to discuss Education in Argentina in 1984-1988, it was called "Congreso Pedagógico Nacional". There were a huge number of meetings in each school and they selected delegates for the next step, and after a few steps all the delegates were members of the different political parties or the church. So the final steps were more political and with very few grassroots participation.

Some articles about it in Spanish:

* https://www.lanacion.com.ar/cultura/en-los-80-mas-politica-q... autotranslation https://www-lanacion-com-ar.translate.goog/cultura/en-los-80...

> Twenty-seven years after that call, in which 400,000 people participated, two conclusions emerge. In these meetings, little is said about pedagogy and much about educational policy (and generally more about politics than education). The second lesson is that already at that time there was talk of a profound educational crisis.

* https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Historia_de_la_educaci%C3%B3n_... autotranslation https://es-m-wikipedia-org.translate.goog/wiki/Historia_de_l...

> Raúl Alfonsín entrusted the organization of the congress to his educational team, headed in 1984 by Minister Carlos Alconada Aramburú , and Deputy Adolfo Stubrin, both with statist approaches. The Statist Approach was driven by radicals and communists ; and the non-statist approach, which was finally the one that triumphed, was defended by the Argentine Episcopal Conference , the Christian Democratic Party , the Justicialist Party , the Union of the Democratic Center , the Integration and Development Movement and a huge mobilization of parents who had their children in private schools. 400,000 people participated in that call.

Yes Apple is willingly staying quiet about your iMessage backup being accessible by them. But it does not change the fact that iCloud Keychain is end-to-end encrypted with Apple incapable of accessing your keychain.
Even the pricing makes me think that this is just a phase out. I'm willing to bet this is the last generation of 13" Pros. Just seems like the 14" is replacing it. As far as I can tell the Air is better than the 13" in almost every way, except maybe the bigger battery and active cooling. You can pay the $100 difference to upgrade the chip to be identical, which is odd for Apple. Usually there is still a minor premium.
> I'm happy enough to deal with losing my digital access (via 2FA) temporarily under the same sort of circumstances where I've lost my keys.

To me the critical difference would be that my house keys are single purpose and only serve at a single location. I lost/broke keys a few times in my life, and the only issue was to wait outside the house for a few hours.

I didn't need to authorize 3d secure transactions when paying for the hotel or a taxi, didn't need to authorize accessing my Gitlab account at work, nor validate that I'm really me in the flurry of 2FA services. Nowadays phones and computers are more akin to wallets, and I'm actually more in trouble when losing access to my phone than when losing my wallet.
SRE has an identity crisis. It means too many things to too many people. In some companies, it is an operational help desk. In a few companies, SRE is rumored to be a different aspect of software engineering.

Pay is a rough signal on what a company expects from SRE. If SREs get paid as much or more than Software Engineers, it is a good sign. Yet even that signal is not accurate. I know highly paid SREs stuck in Ops Hell. You could not pay me enough money to do a job like that. It is also not sustainable because eventually the company will fire you and replace you with a lower paid employee who can do that job just as well.

I strongly oppose organizations that have SRE separate from Software Engineers. I strongly believe that SREs must be fully integrated into Software Engineering teams (aka the embedded model), with the same reporting lines as their product colleagues.

Keeping SRE organizationally separate has done a great disservice to SRE. SRE 2.0 needs to tear down the mini empires that SRE 1.0 built and get back to software engineering.

> I don't know a single person in this "cabal of smart people" who has a single nice thing to say about the K-12 mathematics curriculum.

You must not know many people. The problem with trying to categorize K-12 mathematics (or other common, but non-uniform experiences) as good or bad or somewhere in between is precisely that the experience is non-uniform. Even being in the same classes as my twin sister (though sometimes not), we formed some wildly different opinions on different teachers and classes and even classmates. The experience was too different even sitting 5' from each other, let alone when speaking about this with people who attended schools in different parts of the country, or even different parts of the same state or city.
A bunch of operations classically represented as O(1) are O(logn) with step functions. They are only constant time for ranges of values, and eventually the response curve smoothes back out into a logn line.

And the usual argument is, "well, it's understood..." which is a terrible argument because the whole notion of ignoring constant factor C is that it's supposed to go to the noise floor as n approaches infinity. So if you're going to claim that we didn't mean n approaches infinity, we meant "n fits into a CPU word and the data set fits into memory" then you're trying to have it both ways and that's pure nonsense.

It's nice to have progress in some areas.

However, I'm disappointed to observe that we're on to version 3 and the HTTP editors are still writing tortured thickets of handwaving cross-references to avoid specifying which DNS records it uses.

Instead, HTTP continues to refer normatively to the http(s) URIs, which eventually confess:

"This specification does not mandate a particular registered name lookup technology".

and then everyone squats the A/AAAA address records by default, effectively denying them for any other purpose. There are some obvious consequential misbehaviours (such as the perennial "apex record" problem), but more broadly, HTTP subverts the DNS by de facto appropriating potentially all labels, and continuing to do so represents a middle finger in the face of every other protocol designer. This situation gets more rusted-on and harder to figure out remediation with each revision, and there's a lesson or two in here for anyone who develops protocols for a living.

I ordered a new Porsche SUV in the middle of December. It just got offloaded from the ship at port today, so I should finally have it in a couple weeks. But it will be missing some of the electronics, such as the electric steering wheel adjustment due to chip shortages.

My poor sister-in-law also thought she ordered a Toyota in December. But as it turns out, the dealership just took advantage of her and told her they ordered her a car when really she gave the dealership a $500 deposit to let her know if a car ever comes in that matches what she wanted.
While these are all legitimate and valid concerns. NONE of these companies have a religious cult-like fans defending every decision Apple has made. Apple has been caught and discovered doing some very BAD anti consumer/anti privacy deals, slave labor, and there's a whole cadre of people (not unlike yourself), defending these decisions as somehow being flawless. Beyond that, these fans bury all these discoveries at every possibility, and continue hyping Apple and gushing over their products even undeservedly at times. This will prove to be very damaging in the future, and this is why in my mind it's the most evil company. FB/Instagram at least people realize, acknowledge and not try to defend/bury it... which leads me to believe at least something will be done about it... eventually.

The recent Raspberry Pi models (4/400) have the potential to really expand computing globally. They're the first ones that have enough CPU power and RAM to do virtually everything you'd ever want to do with a desktop computer, with the exception of playing the latest games (and perhaps ML? I don't know much about it), but they cost $45 and run from a USB power supply.

It's amazing how much you can do with them.
