I don't use my google account for much anymore, but I love the idea. I tried very hard to use it and... it didn't work.

I went to my google account and clicked "Create a passkey", but apparent my "device doesn't support creating passkeys" (Linux, Firefox).

The page said my Pixel 2 has an automatically created passkey, so maybe I could experience the "use another device to sign in" flow. Opened a private window and my only option was a password (but there was a feedback prompt asking why I still wanted to use a password).

I tried again with Firefox on Android, but the "Create a passkey" button doesn't even appear. Same story with Chrome on Android.

Is it just me, or does the future look a lot like Internet Explorer in the early 2000s?
Angular is a fantastic framework. Congratulations to the team and hopefully see you again next year latest, Angular team.
The skill set to guide an LLM to the output you want is different from the skill set required to write from scratch. The current interfaces don't make it as seamless as it could be.

Imagine writing a stream of bullet-points with no care taken for proper sentence structure and have the LLM convert them to properly written paragraphs of what you were trying to convey. And be able to determine if you have conflicts between bullet-points for you to fix.

You may also be able to provide bullet-points on different scales/modes. Such as the overall setting of a story, specific dialogue between characters, character personalities, character views of each other, plot progression.

Suddenly anyone who can have coherent thoughts (which is not a low bar) and some imagination will be able to synthesize what is in their mind onto paper in well written form.
I do like this as a likely explanation for the majority of UFO events.

However, I'll continue to argue that the main evidence against extra terrestrial explanations for UFOs is how the creditability of sightings always seem to depend on first accepting that extra terrestrials are intergalactic trolls.

"It was playing with us that's why we couldn't get a good shot". "They have been interfering with technology at military bases for years". "They show up on our radar then they disappeared". "They lit up the night sky then sped off".
> You're showing the top of a table sorted by total comp in a particularly well paid district (as property tax revenues pay teachers). This is not representative.

This is how I chose that link:

1. Go to the web site.

2. Enter the name of a friend who is an SFUSD elementary school teacher.

3. Click on the job title.

Whilst SFUSD may not seem representative to you, it seems representative to me, because:

- it's my local district, and where I had planned to send my son to school

- there are often cries that SFUSD teachers are underpaid, can't afford to live in SF etc.

I'd encourage you to share a different link, that shows evidence that my 45% claim is off.

> You can't raise standards while you have a shortage. You need a surplus to be selective.

Yes you can, if you have to be willing to relax two assumptions:

- public school teacher pay must be based only on tenure and credentials (i.e. you can't pay new teachers more than existing teachers)

- new teachers must be willing to spend a year getting a teaching credential (i.e. no one can easily switch jobs from a different profession)

These two are preventing public schools from tapping sources of great teachers (e.g. folks like you, with industry experience and a love of teaching).

Imagine if Sal Khan were to apply for a teaching position at SFUSD, and was willing to work for $150k base. They wouldn't hire him, because:

- he doesn't have a teaching credential (AFAIK);

- even though he might be as effective as two existing teachers, union contracts determine pay ranges.

> I enjoy it and it feels more impactful.

Yup, 100% makes sense.
Such a nice little collection, however I'm wondering how much you paid for it.
Once again, well played
It makes sense if you want to move from two factor authentication to just the second factor while making it seem new and cool?

Just wait until someone decides the latest LLM du jour is "woke".

> The Dems have shifted from the party of information freedom to openly embracing censorship and state propaganda in the past decade.

And this has been a common weak point of theirs for longer than that. Nanny-state, "we know what's best" stuff has been a valid criticism of the Democratic side for decades.

I don't know that politicians and the "upper management" types in government have ever been terribly well-versed, interested, or effective when it comes to matters of tech (or anything more specialized, really).
Giving your passwords to a company that cares about money more than you is risky. But losing devices with passkeys is a big problem too. Even if passkeys are saved to your Google, Apple, or Microsoft account, if that account itself is behind a passkey, how do you access it if your phone holding the key breaks? If a disaster or fire happens, all your devices could be gone.

Passwords are good because you remember them in your head, so long as the head works, so do the passwords. This might be an obvious statement, but it's clear passkey providers kind of glance over it.

I have an unbaked theory, but the very short version is:

- Animals that have peaks of energy use outcompete animals that have a steady-state energy use. Catch the animal, then rest and recover. For any given amount of energy, this means we can recruit more in a smaller window compared to an animal that plods along with no recuperative phase.

- Many things happen when you're sleeping. Rather than having everything running 24/7, having different phases means we can specialise action and recovery. Since the time is already driven by energy demands, many parts of our body and mind leverage it for different purposes.
Are there any technical advantages to doing that? I guess it makes the wifi chipset cheaper to manufacture, but wouldn't it increase the cost of the CPU?

I agree they are all choices and all have trade-offs. I was specifically speaking to the pain point of groceries on mass transit. You still have a "someone's else's schedule" problem on transit because when you want to go may not align with transit. I'd rather hang at home than on a platform with bags and bags of groceries.

I'm with you on picking your battles. You have to decide where your pain points are and where your conveniences are.
How many apps actually benefit from reactivity, i.e. 1,000 people can post to a feed realtime and the app fetches data from 200 other backend services? I believe for vast majority apps, a basic HTML/JS/CSS is all one needs. It's fairly trivial to make your own SPA in ES7.
I feel like most of the RxJS functionality doesn't have a real use case. At the end of the day, you are doing an async call, something axios handles just fine. I did a bunch of presentations on RxJS, so I understand it fairly well, but I have never used it past basic API calls "irl".
I get where you're coming from as "just an engineer" but it still seems like the market would clear at some point without needing to berate people for not having enough "loyalty" (which is rational, management are not loyal to us). Maybe the answer is contracts that are like "We train you for one year, then employ you below-market for two years. If you want to leave that's fine, but you (or your new employer) either owe us for the training or have to pay us market-rate for the remainder of your contract." I know similar things happen in MLB contracts, for example.

This is one of those things where a sector-wide Hollywood-style (or MLBPA-style) union would make these kinds of negotiations much simpler. It would also help with the obvious employer-side abuses those kinds of contracts would enable. But once we start talking about union power, we're a ways away from just letting the market clear.
For a page with a couple forms sure.

For an application with state and such, maybe not.
The sanctions on Russia aren't stupid.

Could they be more effective? Certainly. Should they be going much further and actually crippling Putin? Yes. Does Putin deserve to get his teeth kicked in for the shit he's pulling in Ukraine? Absolutely. Should Putin's oligarchic buddies get their fortunes wiped out because of Putin's stupid actions? Certainly.

It's not "The West's" fault that Russia has not modernized at all since the fall of the USSR, nor is it their fault that Russia decided to hand the keys to the kingdom over to a former KGB operative, and keep handing him the keys every chance they got. NATO was essentially created for situations like this - because the powers-that-be knew Russia would try to expand its territory every chance it got.

Wonder how well Steam's "Proton" would work for Windows business applications?

Yes, RxJS is extremely hard to use. I developed on a lot of different technologies, but RxJS is one of the things I never seem to get a hang of.

It’s not just the syntax (so (many (brackets)) and => lambdas), but it’s also really hard to create a mental model for what’s happening.

I know that react hooks are not a replacement for Rx, but really often you can program similar functionality with hooks and it’s just 10 times easier to read.
RxJS, more specifically its primitive Observables, fills a different space from Promises. For simple cases where only one value is emitted Promise probably works better and is more intuitive, but there are certain things that Promises cannot model - specifically when there is a stream of events over time. RxJS is more complicated because it needs to model more complex things. I do think Angular made a big mistake overusing it in places where Promises would have worked perfectly fine, but when you do need it it does work pretty well.

> Let's say Congress raises taxes, as some here advocate. All right, what's Congress going to do with the money? Have less of a deficit? Or are they going to find new things to spend it on?

Probably the former; if they found new things to spend it on, they’d spend it independent of whether or not they raised taxes.

Congress understands, even if they pretend not to when it provides a public excuse for opposing popular spending that they choose to avoid (while not bothering with that pretense when they want to spend) that there is no necessary, non-self-imposed, relationship between revenue and spending when operating in your own fiat.

> But the vaccine side effects only happen once, at the time of injection, while the vaccine may continue to confer long term benefits. So this ratio is highly dependent on the time period in question.

One must be extremely skeptical of these kind of claims now, though, given what we just went through as a society. The side effects of the mRNA vaccines seemed to become uncapped (some people I know have now received 4 shots), and the long term benefits went to nil (if not negative), commonly thought due to mutation.

So the question is what are the odds that it really will be just "once" and what are the odds that it will really provide protection against RSV, and future mutated strands.

It seems to me the vaccine industry should be put in a severe category of "distrusted entities" until we have significant improvements in our symbolic infrastructure to the point where they could be trusted again.
> Personally I think Dlang get it right by making GC as a default and provide no GC as an optional feature.

I vehemently disagree. D's GC is the #1 reason for its fade into obscurity, instead of becoming a viable C++ competitor. Now it's completely overshadowed by Rust's success.

Temporal looks great but it takes a long time to find out what it is. The website has a lot of information but the navigation is not good.
And the most stupid thing of all is that they tried to reinvent the filesystem when they developed iOS.
That was my first thought too, Kodak Gold is not supposed to look this bad. Converting color negatives is actually quite hard. You can get good results with software such as Negative Lab Pro (Adobe Lightroom plugin), but getting anywhere close to the quality that you get with a lab scanner (usually 20 years old Fuji Frontiers or Noritsu scanners) takes some serious skills. Also, when digitizing film with an DSLR, the light source is very important and has a huge effect on the colors

I've yet to figure out how passkeys can be useful for someone who switches between multiple devices (and platforms) throughout the day, and who wants to retain control over where tokens are stored. I have switched as many of my MFA credentials as possible to TOTP and have avoided Yubikeys because I don't want to be tied to a single piece of hardware that can be easily lost, or to an identity provided that may decide to lock me out...
Very interesting seeing Angular getting many of the features that EmberJS has had for a while such.

So, you think it's impossible for the US to have maintained the integrity of any of its classification levels above public, for more than a few months, and also impossible it could have done so for decades for anything secret at all?

> Your argument sounds a bit like "Don't like Safari? Just use a different OS then" in the context of allowing browser choice on iOS.

Except… you can just use a YubiKey. It’s closer to saying “install Firefox” than “install a different OS”.

> There is no technical reason a Passkey provider and OS/platform should be necessarily bundled.

Sure, fine. This is like V1 of every provider’s implementation. None of this was even available three months ago, I have no doubt these things are coming.
I can confirm for anyone interested that pilots, Navy or otherwise, can also be cranks. They lie, misinterpret, and make mistakes at the same rate as the rest of the population. There is no special moral code issued to you in flight school.

I've seen pilots with their head down in the targeting system saying some really really silly things that were obviously wrong when they got their eyes up and got some SA.
Could be someone testing it out seeing if he can get away with it.
What if one loses all their devices in a natural disaster, a house fire, or burglary, or lost baggage while traveling?

A password is in your head. If you lose that, there's not much use for the said password. But otherwise, it's secure. And it's pretty secure from an infosec perspective if it's a passphrase.

> - the speed with which tools like von Neumann probes could proliferate the galaxy

> - the likelihood that somebody somewhere over millions of years would create a von Neumann probe (computer viruses didn't take long to make)

The problem with this is no one has demonstrated any technology that can be used to make a von Neumann probe, and if you look at it from an engineering perspective, it's not clear that it's feasible at all. We are nowhere close to building machines that can build machines, much less ones that can do so when the inputs are "mine this rock", much less ones that can identify the rocks to be so mined, much less ones that are capable of being launched onto another planet, much less ones that can land on exoplanets, much less ones that can identify said exoplanets, much less ones that can remain in good working order for the entire journey.

That's... a lot of steps that need to be met for a von Neumann probe to be possible in the first place, almost none of which are demonstrable anytime soon. Should any one of those things be impossible, or merely impracticable, then that means von Neumann probes themselves are so. Until it's demonstrated that there's a good reason to think that von Neumann probes should be possible to construct, I don't think it's reasonable to argue that we should assume they already exist.
What value does your comment have? Do you want people to just pile on to this woman who is trying to speak another language?

In my experience 409a valuations for common stock are effectively set based on a discount to preferred and some handwavy math related to "comparable" public market valuations. So I would expect them to come down, but they will lag 1-ish years behind private preferred round prices.

I do think it's somewhat likely that a company would offer to rewrite options at a new lower strike price if employees ask. Of course you'd start all the capital gains clocks again, by probably worth it if the price difference is substantial.
Yeah. These all seem like things a peer-ish human adversary might want to do - if only to see what they could get away with - rather than a vastly more sophisticated alien race capable of interstellar travel.
A lot of it will revolve around Nvidia hardware that you either own or rent. I've built CPU-accelerated AI bots on free VPSes before, but it's slow and not a reflection of best-practices nor state-of-the-art inferencing. Right now, a lot of the meaningful "private cloud" AI stuff is built with extremely proprietary runtimes.
10 years ago or so I really wanted to NOT use Fortran for my PhD.

In my effort to try to use Python instead in my field, I fell down countless rabbit holes along the way (like being for a year or so one of the core contributors to Cython, in an effort to make "a better Fortran").

In the end though -- I decided it was time to just Get It Done, and just did what my supervisor had patiently and subtly hinted for years. Enough rabbit holes, just get it done in Fortran, and hand in the thesis...

I think what I learned most about (having an interest in compilers and programming languages) is the ignorance the rest of the programming language community, and computer science, has about the kind of things you are actually interested in when doing HPC. What kind of language features you care about and what idioms make sense.

Learning Fortran is super simple.. that is perhaps part of the problem that also people who are barely programmers can write (bad) programs in it. So what this must mean is simply a lack of programmers, full stop, being attracted to the field.

And...C++ is truly the most wrong language for this space there could be.
It's easy to make your own SPA using div display: none/block, so is routing. Global store is also pretty easy to do including update events. Async/await makes backend calls super simple, one could still use promises for a few more advanced cases as well, or even go full Saga pattern. Why is a framework needed these days?
Uhm, I'm currently running abour 4 binaries that have that famous `exe` file extension on FreeBSD. C# runs on FreeBSD just fine. There is no bootstrap available for FreeBSD - must either cross-compile or use linux emulation.
Git’s CLI API is definitely bad.

I think the plumbing is probably in-between poor and bad for most projects. It’s maybe great for Linux. However almost all projects are effectively centralized so the D in DVCS is a waste. (Offline/local support and fully distributed are different). I think source control should make it impossible for 99% of users to shoot themselves in the foot. And Git is still terrible at large binary assets, even with Git-LFS.

I use Git + GitHub for my personal projects. It’s mediocre but tolerable. Git is insufficient and not used for every professional project I have ever worked on. YMMV.
Honestly, who cares.

If you think reducing likelihood of getting really sick by 80%, especially if you’re vulnerable is no big deal, and you want to suffer or spend your life savings on unnecessary medical care because some YouTuber told you so, that’s your problem.
