Passkeys do have a (partial) solution to this problem: multi-device credentials. See the videos at the bottom of [1].

Say you install an app/visit a website on your phone and register an account with a passkey. My current understanding is that on iOS 16, the passkey lives in your iCloud keychain. If you want to sign in on a Mac on Safari, you can just visit the website and the discoverable credential from your phone will appear when you try to log into the site with webauthn. The website will be able to tell that you're logging in from a new device and optionally require additional authentication.

If you want to sign in on a device that doesn't have access to your keychain, you can use your phone as an authenticator over a combination of Bluetooth and a tunnel server by scanning a QR code on that device with your phone. The site is then supposed to prompt you to register the new device with whatever its local passkey solution is.

The best source I could find for how this protocol works at a technical level is an episode of "Security. Cryptography. Whatever" on passkeys. I guess the specs aren't exactly public yet (at least since I last checked) and are only available to fido alliance members.

I've been trying to work on figuring out ways to build a "passkey manager" of sorts to live up to the potential webauthn offers with hardware-backed credentials that are also synced and backed up (to an offsite key). As far as I can tell, as mentioned in another comment, this just doesn't seem to be a priority for the fido alliance, which is a real shame.

I'm cautiously waiting to see how 1Password deals with passkeys, given that they're one of the few FIDO members with a vested interest in being cross platform, but I'm betting they'll just implement a software keystore built into their current vaults without any hardware backing.

it's not monopoly, but demand that's keeping real estate prices sky high.
I got Windows 11 Pro on my new machine for the sole purpose of avoiding that BS (and have it running without an account), but now you can't even do that on new installs without those workarounds. It's a dark pattern akin to Amazon trying to get you to use Amazon Prime when purchasing something on Amazon.
I think a populating of the around 1000 of the city and the sorrunding area is maybe enough though it is likely harder to compete in these times where everyone has cars and such.

(THere is also recent examples here where it is not really a cooperative but a group of citizens getting together and raising money to buy the store and rent it out to a grocer. For example in Halvrimmen https://nordjyske.dk/nyheder/jammerbugt/borgere-koeber-koebm..., where they have made a LTD that owns the store)

If you are interested in this kind of lightweight containerization, the best tool to consider would be FreeBSD jails. They are available in FreeBSD since version 4.0 released on March 14, 2000 and at this point are a very mature solution to this problem. You can even attach dedicated network cards to jails and prevent them from being visible on the host. Moreover their integration with the base os and system utilities is seamless and very mature.

Linux folks love saying: use the right tool for the right job when it comes to telling people why Kubernetes is a strong enough reason for any company to switch to linux, however when it comes to things such as lightweight containers (or ZFS-on-root for the matter) for some reason the same reasoning isn't applied.

LXC and LXD look like a patchwork compared to FreeBSD jails. If you are on the desktop and want to run graphical apps, maybe it can make some kind of sense if you are already using Linux for everything else. But if you want to have a lightweight container setup on a headless server, FreeBSD is by far the best option.

In FreeBSD land, no one boasts of running 5 virtualized environments on a single machine because this is just a common thing for us and part of every workfow. You want to work on some github repository? You create a new jail in 1 minute using a tool such as cbsd.

A server with 32gb of RAM can easily run 1000s of jails, even a small VPS with 1-2gb of RAM can run a dozen jails or more without problems. It is intriguing that so many people dismiss the power of that.

And it is intriguing that people easily accept: "there is no equivalent to dockerfiles but it's fine because things can be scripted easily with basic shell commands" when it comes to LXC/LXD but people dismiss this very argument when FreeBSD folks try to explain why there is no need for Kubernetes on FreeBSD.

Anyway, if you run a startup not operating a resource intensive products (like ML requiring spinning up massive amounts of cores and RAM in an irregular basis) FreeBSD and jails can really save massive amounts of time and allow you to focus on the right thing. just run everything from a single Root VPS (usually hosting companies already handle things such as RAID replication and hardware redundancy transparently) and before you reach scalability problems, you'll already be making millions of dollars in revenue.

Even after, running thousands of jails on a single hosy essentially means doing what AWS and other cloud providers are doing. This doesn't prevent you from builing a small high-availability layer on top to ensure that critical apps run from at least two different physical hosts. This isn't very difficult to build with things like Consul, HA proxy, built-in system utilities and a small custom web interface.

Interesting, thanks:

> human brain performs around 0.18 – 6.4 * 10 TEPS. Thus if the FLOPS:TEPS ratio in brains is similar to that in computers, a brain would perform around 0.9 – 33.7 * 10 FLOPS

But I have to agree with the comment:

> FLOPS is specifically a measure of floating point mathematical operations with a certain precision. While this measure may be important in determining the power required to emulate a brain (as statistical computations involve floating point numbers), that does not mean that a brain works in floating point values. In fact, it is easy to construct a system that does very little computation, but requires an insanely high amount of floating point operations to emulate it
What does “OG” stand for?

What are you talking about? He is speaking perfectly normally.

Also, as I stated I linked odysee because he usually himself endorses odysee and the youtube video may be taken down for bogus copyright violation.

And what is with weird odysee connotation. Odysee is used by normal tech youtubers like The Linux Experiment, Some Ordinary Gamers, Distrotube, Seytonic, Techlore to have backup of their original youtube videos if they are taken down for some bogus violation like DMCA copyright.

I don't believe the weights for GPT-3 are public and it would be expensive to fine tune such a large model.
Rayleigh's criterion doesn't hard limit your ability to aim-- so long as you have a good prior what the image plane projection of the target is.

To give a contrived example. Say we have a function f(x) == a*exp(-(x-m)^2). I evaluate f(x) at 1 and 2 and tell you that the evaluations are f(1)=0.27093242847450331643480903517 and f(2)=1.1666240719274935885932696286. From that, you can tell me the amplitude (a) and peak position (m) with on the order of 100 bits of precision (in this example).

This is contrived because its noiseless and you know the system response perfectly, but I think it demonstrates that an alignment under assumptions need not be limited by rayleigh's criterion.
Christoph Roser in "Faster, better, cheaper in the history of manufacturing from the Stone Age to lean manufacturing and beyond", about England switching from the 15h workday to an 8h workday back in the 19th century:

> As is to be expected, working fewer hours per day improved productivity per hour. However, what totally surprised employ­ers was that in many cases, the employees were able to produce more in eight hours than before in 14 or 16 hours, not in relative comparison but in absolute numbers! A worker, in eight hours of work with 16 hours of break in between, produced more per day than the same worker did before in 14 to 16 hours with only an eight-hour break in between.
That's a new plague of our times. Most smartphone people I have observed use to consume content created in the last 24 hours. You are ignoring thousands of years where human culture use to exist and suppose any great things are going to be fresh. Those recommendation algos you are relying to were not really designed to provide you a content from them, their goal are to provide them your attention. You think your smartphone is an instrument in your hands for becoming better person but in reality you are an instrument of your smartphone for becoming them richer.
I have also problem to listen podcasts. Text is much more efficient way to "broadcast" informations. Both for author and audience.

I broadly agree with you that there are many fads in the industry that are touted as the "next big thing" only to fade into obscurity a decade later. But I don't think Rust is one of those, and the reason doesn't even have anything to do with what the language can or cannot do.

No, it's because all the big players in the industry are very involved. So, on one hand, it's not one company's pet project, like Java was - and yet it's big enough that "no-one ever got fired for buying IBM" kind of reasoning is already starting to show up. And I don't think anyone is likely to back out at this point given the effort already spent. For better or worse, this is what we've bet the industry on.

(To be clear, I think the language is actually great by itself, and it's good to see something striving to be safe-by-default to fill that spot in the industry. But let's not fool ourselves when it comes to programming languages winning on some abstract merits, outside of the broader economic context.)
That's a pretty inexperienced take, out of context. People should absolutely learn from elders, even if they feel the elders are wrong. Which is pretty much, every young person who has ever existed. There are often nuggets of wisdom buried inside resistance to change.

I often wonder how much further along we'd be as a society if we didn't spend the first couple decades thinking we know everything. Myself included.
This is different to optimized battery charging. As of iOS 16 (in an as yet unreleased point version) Apple plans to add support for clean energy charging, which will charge your iPhone when the grid has a cleaner mix of energy. I think this is US only to begin with.
One thing neglected in economic discussions is economy on a small scale. In a town of 1000 people, in the middle of both natural ravages of the pandemic and artificial economic drain imposed by state and national governments through health orders, invisible hand of the market is not going to be enough. It's going to take specific individuals invested in continued existence of the town above their own personal prosperity and ease of life to make that happen. In this situation, democratic control may well be the means to select the right individuals. Just so long as we don't confuse practicality of a tiny town with global solutions for food security or climate change or mRNA vaccines...
You're being downvoted for pointing out the make-believe that we want to believe in. Like you said, the recommendations are fantasy. The author is unwilling to delve into the darkness within the game, so his solution is essentially "bring in smarter people like myself".

"Be critical or be corrupted" is a platitude that doesn't mean much other than "think harder". Ironically, it's the kind of phrase that lends itself well to corruption: it sounds good, feels good, but isn't defined, easy to abuse, and so eventually becomes another card in the game.

> Most of those EV batteries are sitting unused for large chunks of the day

Yes, that is the point of having a battery, or any fuel storage of any kind. Especially one that degrades with use and that doesn't even change its weight based on being full (which could potentially offset some of the costs).
Yeah, I stopped halfway through the article.

Don’t talk down and condescend to your audience for no reason

I think the article should be rewritten and all the ranting removed

It’s also difficult to follow where the author‘s going with all the side rants and unrelated remarks

And yes, that is considered ranting, contrary to what the author claims in the beginning of the article

there are only about 10 other isms that would have more accurately described this, and "communism" is used in the 1995 film Hackers for a reason, but it might not be the one you're picking up on.

this is not so useful because your polls wont be search-indexed by search engines so people wont find them by searching app+keyword.
so usecase like uservotes to add/change feature will have duplicates.

plain polls in itself had their issues - people answering polls arent people using your app, unless poll is nagged in the app/app settings(so a/b running in parallel to poll can help evaluating user feedback - remember google chrome bookmark page fiasco),

if someone resorts to searching apps site they usually either evaluating if app has something that they need to accomplish with app; or if there's a workaround or a way to do something they dont understand how to accomplish with your app - so if they didnt find a way they will try another app or do it other way.

there's much simpler live chat/search forum(Discourse)/discord all in one approach:

allow users to create topics(akin to discord rooms) relating some aspect of your app.
create flat not nested, not collapsible live chat in each topic.

allow user either post new message in topic or reply with a button to existing message - creating a thread this way.
allow people to subscribe to threads, maybe in side panel.
auto color user messages and threads background - the way google wave did it

allow to +- rate messages in threads if user posted a message inside; if message rating is below threshold visually change it's backround - like paint half of message backround into different color, but dont hide it.
allow marking messages as offtopic - color them differently too.

for single messages without thread allow rating it only to people that answered at least a few times and doesnt have much of their replies as completely off topic.
this way you wont need much moderation besides removing obvious hate speech or creating topics not related to your app.

allow indexing every topic - either page them by day (hour if very chatty), then group day-pages into week pages, allow fulltext+exclude search.

no need for fancy discord/slack like webapp chats, their sole purpose is to limit outside access. your goal Is outside access - to make every aspect of your app(or its abilities/features) as discoverable and explained as possible, and to allow discussing user wants and approaches.

the main key is to make it as findable, searchable, readable(people often dont wat to fight search and just skim read) and approachable(by not having echo chamber hate community) as possible.
So interesting seeing these perspectives on here.

Everything goes up forever until it doesn't. Japan hasn't recovered from highs like 30 years ago.

One reason foreign debt may not matter is because when you have the most powerful military in the world, some of the most fertile land (food), natural barriers (defenses), and cultural hegemony (arguably America's real export, and English is like a virus) who is going to make you repay it and how exactly?
The optics of it are shockingly bad. Boosting banker bonuses at a time when average people are talking about "heat or eat". Or for that matter the lower taxes you mention - the top bad gets a -5% while the bottom band gets a -1%.

There are definitely some good bits for everyone in there (e.g. energy cap) but its very stacked towards top end.
I find it a little unsettling that GPT-3 is able to do this well. This kind of problem is abstract and I assume its training data doesn't extensively cover this kind of thing. I wonder if it would work meaningfully worse if you used different words in the prompt other "edge" and "node" which are probably used in examples somewhat like this.

Example prompt -

Every turn each gloober flomps the same gloobers. If a yellow gloober flomps a blue gloober then the blue gloober turns yellow, otherwise, gloobers stay the same color.

1. gloober Roy flomps gloober Zoo and gloober Bat

2. gloober Zoo flomps gloober Bat and gloober Crystal

3. gloober Crystal flomps gloober X-Ray

4. gloober Bat flomps gloober Blue

If gloober Zoo is the only gloober that is yellow, and all other gloobers are blue, will gloober Blue turn yellow, and, if so, at what turn?

Answer: gloober Blue
There’s no such thing as “fully sound” type system, outside theorem provers like Lean. Every type system has a trapdoor. Rust has “unsafe”. Haskell has “unsafePerformIO”. And TypeScript has “any”. Soundness is just as much a property of a language’s culture as its implementation. Practically I find that TypeScript is sound enough for my purposes when most of the strictness options are enabled.
>A templating language is mainly an inner platform effect. It targets a weird imagined archetype of someone who isn't allergic to code, but somehow isn't smart enough to work in a genuine programming language. In

Strange sentiment. Isn't React templating as well? Besides one of the most famous use of templates is macros (in C as well as other languages). Would people who generate code be allergic to coding?
Fantastic comment. I think this makes a lot of sense, even outside the drug trade/Baltimore setting. Cultures which are highly individualistic usually have a different set of problems (drugs, mental health, gun culture in America etc) than societies with stronger community (religious strife, intolerance, a certain rigidity in life). In both cases, some movement to the other side is met with resistance, the collective bias of the people.
They were saying this creates huge problems for the grid. Let's assume people will want to destroy their car battery by draining it to power their house every night, and that this indeed supplements the need for grid storage overnight. However, when holiday seasons comes around, all of a sudden a significant percentage of homes will start demanding much higher power usage from the grid, as people co-ordinate in setting their cars not to drain power into their homes on the night before.
I didn't Google it, but when it hit me, so did your comment!

It's like the realization arrived at the same time from two different directions. Thank you!

Hello there my bots and buddys. Last weekend (as a personal project to learn myself Ruby) I created a tool that uses AI generated text for brainstorming/mindmapping purposes.

This makes a lot of sense, but I’ll add that it’s also possible that the association was correct, but not for the assumed reason. For example, maybe the plane had a partially faulty breaker for the IFE, and there was a likelihood of tripping every time the PA system was used. (The button probably isn’t a breaker, but there’s a world of similar explanations.)

You really think the average guy on the street hears about rule changes to boost banker bonuses and thinks "great"?

From what I can tell the mood is more "eat the rich".
I said the issues are different and you disagreed, so I detailed what I meant.

It’s also not reasonable to require the government to just get 10,000 support contracts just to implement a single application.

What makes the most sense is what they’re doing here:

1. come up with a strategy for managing these risks

2. Collectively work with OSS developers instead of treating every one of the governments 10 bazillion projects like it needs a separate support contract for a component that is shared

> Google, who self-certify everything including their crypto stack.

This probably means paying for an independent lab's FIPS validation of Google's crypto stack, rather than using one from RHEL (where RH/IBM paid for the FIPS validation).

It’s the book “Tribal Leadership”, there are summaries on the net. The book itself is not very well written, but still inspiring. I thought it was a classic because I saw it in several companies.
