> Importantly, I don't think there's a single implementation of Passkey that actually allows this. In theory you could move your keys but in practice, there is no way to transfer your private keys off of your phone

The google password manager and Apple devices will sync private keys as part of the password manager sync fabric. They are on all devices.

In addition, the 'share password' option on Apple devices works with passkeys. To deter social engineering, the person needs to be in your contacts, and in proximity to receive an airdrop.

There's nothing (other than say future certification marks) to prevent software exporting via a CSV file, the same way many password managers export/import credentials today.
a) what would you have them work on?

b) total cost to company per employee is more than their cash compensation.
Fair enough. We do have over 2,000 open issues [1] for the browser, so buggy is probably an understatement.

But we are getting there. More than 1,500 issues have been addressed.

And Orion is the fastest browser on Mac and completely zero telemetry at that. Give us a bit more time..

I’m curious, how would laws like the one Utah passed be enforced if a company doesn’t have a presence in Utah? Do Utah courts rely on the cooperation of courts and banks operating outside Utah to enforce fines and the like?

I suppose if your bank operates in Utah or wants to do business with Utah entities, it could be enforced coercively that way. As laws in different states diverge further and further, it makes me wonder to what extent states stopping cooperation with each other is possible, or if entities will start operating entirely within a particular “safe harbor” state to protect themselves.
>Well what is a discussion "supposed" to be about? You certainly have a lot to say about it.

I referred to the community guidelines in my comment.[0] One such guideline is to not reply to egregious comments, like conspiratorial ones promoting outrageous claims from known frauds. The 25 comments are still available for viewing for users who opt-in to view discussions that have been flagged as violating the community's guidelines.

>Even if you think the other side is a blatant lie, better to have it get shot down than to have it look like any other views are just flagged

That is not the guidance HN outlines for this community. A blatant lie restated from a known charlatan is not just "any other view," it is an egregious comment. If you are expecting a low-moderation open forum, HN is intentionally not that, even if most of the moderation is community-voted rather than from designated janitors.

You don’t need any court rulings to understand this. The owners of a company decide how it will be run. The shareholders own the company, they elect a board to represent them. The board hires a CEO and defines their compensation package (along with its performance incentives). The decisions of the shareholders and their board may prove to be unwise in retrospect, but this doesn’t change how the governance structure works. The board (and thus the CEO) can only do what the shareholders want them to do.

All of the ruminating over short term thinking is also nonsensical. A company that has no future has very little value. Perhaps the share holders, or the board, or their CEO have a long-term vision that you disagree with. But this isn’t anything close to an objective fact, it’s just your own self-aggrandising opinion that if you were running the 4th largest company in the world, that you’d be doing a better job.
This is an outright lie by kid64. Why do comments like this stay up here?

Jay Newman calling it out in a systematic way even makes the headline forgivable.
Unfortunately too many don't do that. I have many release notes in my change detection service so I find out that way.
I haven't ever seen that myself, but if it is so ubiquitous where you are, I'd argue that walking out is anything but pointless, and that in fact it has become necessary.

Companies will abuse us to whatever extent we allow them to. Stop enabling them and their behavior. As long as you are capable of finding food somewhere else, you should do exactly that. If you don't exercise that option now, you may lose it entirely.
Anandtech has measured the 104 Gb/sec per a CPU core for the M1 Max and 210 Gb/sec circa per a CPU cluster bandwidths. M1 Max has 3x CPU clusters: 1x power effecient (2x cores) and 2x performance ones (4x cores each).

Where it gets interesting is how access to the memory is multiplexed in the most extreme case where 3x CPU clusters, 32x GPU and 16x ANE cores are attempting to fetch memory blocks at different locations and at once. It is not unreasonable to presuppose that Apple Silicon contraptions use the switched memory architecture, however with such a high degree of parallelism it is very intriguing to know how the memory architecture has been actually designed and optimised. High performant memory access has always been a big deal that usually comes with big money attached to it via a, naturally, non-memory bus associated connection.
Just read the Wikipedia entry for this book and can recommend it as well: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Underground_(Murakami_book)
Latency becomes more relevant the less you are able to muscle-memory your way through an input. Audio apps often need relatively short latencies(<5ms is considered professionally useful) because musicians are hearing, responding and adjusting to match time, so when they do something and the delay on output is perceptible, their timing starts to oscillate.

On the other hand, if I'm drawing on a graphics tablet, and I've trained up some muscle memory skills with blind contour exercises, I don't care that much about application latency because I'm using the tactile feedback to know what the pen is doing. I only have to look to see where the cursor starts, everything else is minor adjustment.

Keyboarding is also definitely more on the muscle-memory end of the spectrum: you look to see errors, but you can generally type a whole password without seeing it, once you've practiced.

Anyway, it's not anti-science. It's well-known that the earth was hotter during the time of the dinosaurs. Sure, rate of change is important, but as I said in the end, the biggest problem for humans is rising sea levels, because of where humans live. Worse storms are also a big problem, though here again where humans live is a big problem since they tend to live on coasts and storms usually hit there.

You can do the multiplications in parallel but summing 63 values in one clock is not going to work that well. You would almost certainly want more pipelining, though with an FIR you can do this without increasing latency.

It's a capacity issue. The companies need to build the infrastructure to support the higher orders.
Yep I was just reading this thinking about how much trouble is caused by putting opening brackets and bracket-like things in the infix position. Doesn’t even have to be a lisp per se! Just denoting where expression bounds begin and end is a huge win. It’s almost always a lisp, but this is also a particular place where JSX does well. (Of course JSX is basically sexprs without saying so.)
What the other user says is that maybe those companies will only let 1 device per account to be registered. So you can’t have 2 devices to login. Harder to share.

I personally use search engines on a daily basis. They link me to external websites that I can trust or distrust to varying degrees depending on my prior experience with them and the amount of further research I put in.

If a person is in the habit of using a search engine like a chat bot by typing in questions AskJeeves-style and then believing what text pops up in the info cards above the ads (which are themselves above the search results), I could see how the distinction between chat bots and search engines could seem trivial.

The similarity between chat bots and search engines breaks down significantly if the user scrolls down past the info cards and ads and then clicks on a link to an external website. At that point in the user experience it is no longer like chatting with a confident NPC.
Google could have conquered the whole world. But instead they settled for growing 14% each year since 2015 while the average enterprise charnel house grew 9%. Worst part is they had to decimate their workers and burn most of their social capital just to get that. Meanwhile their core product search has become a legacy technology used by people who haven't heard of OpenAI, a company that's capitalizing on Google's inventions and discoveries which it didn't have the cojones to productionize itself.
The purpose of example.com is not for getting to a captive portal page. It is to a domain set aside for use in examples and documentation. AFAIK, there is no guarantee that it won't start setting the HSTS header at some point.

Wages represent relative power and have very little to do with the labor involved. Unskilled labor has no power at all and that's why there is a minimum wage.

If you want to increase your pay, then getting more power is the way to do it. This can be through increasing personal power, such as getting an education or experience, or it can be through collective power: unionization.

Entities with power will not give up their power willingly, and entities with power have captured the tool of regulation. Regulation works on behalf of those with power. You can't collectively bargain while following the law because the law exists to protect rich people. Look at how Joe Biden shut down the railway unions. Until businesses are shown that people are serious, we can expect them to continue to coerce us and laugh in our faces.

Sundar is probably sitting there on his pile of money thinking "what are you gonna do about it?!" Nancy pelosi said she has a right to the free market, she said it so brazenly because "what are you gonna do about it?!" Trump actively shows contempt for the legal system, because as long as republicans control 50% of the government "what are you gonna do about it?!" Clarence Thomas takes bribes while the rest of the justices support him. "what are you gonna do about it?"

The law as it is, prevents you from doing something about it. The law has no semblance of justice and is not functioning in our country. The purpose of law is to prevent arbitrary exercises of power and the power in this country certainly doesn't seem restrained.

If CEO's getting pay raises while thousands are laid off upsets you, that will never change until you are willing to personally sacrifice to fight oppression.
> When the backup thrusters were fired in 2017, the spacecraft had been on their way for forty years.

Every time I read about Voyager, it seems there is some new detail that comes out about the level of redundancy that was built into the spacecraft.

At this point, I would not be surprised if there was another replica that’s been flying beside the original all this time as yet another redundancy.
Oh, that reminds me russia so much.
I’m currently on a grandfathered plan. When that’s up I’ve thought about whether I should look around elsewhere due to the price increase. Ultimately I don’t think I want search to be a race to the bottom. There’s no guarantee that any service provider will remain aligned with users and privacy long term, but kagi is bootstrapped and I’d rather pay more than push them toward needing to look for other monetization strategies that might be more adversarial to my interests.
The "and then your competition does the same" is precisely what I'm talking about. If their input costs have not gone up, there's no reason they need to do follow in step rather than take your customers away. It doesn't matter whether it happens gradually.

Multilateral increase in margins demonstrates a lack of competitiveness between competitors.

fair. I confused its origin story for "what it was actually used for in its first decade"/why it became popular. Apologies.
I honestly don't believe "climate change" in and of itself will kill us all off (although there's always that possibility, depending on tipping points and other factors). I'm more worried about how the humans in control of some of the deadliest killing technologies ever devised are gonna exacerbate an already horrifying future as things progress and ever more tension is created by the situations climate change will bring about. Humans (as always) are the scariest part of the equation.

I hold the same worries about A.I. The tech itself (currently just a tool, and honestly not nearly as "advanced" one as many seem to believe) isn't nearly as scary as how the dumbest of our number (our so-called "leaders") are gonna use and / or abuse it.

I honestly believe that if there is a true extinction of humanity (or life in general) on this planet, it's far more likely that a small group of exceptionally stupid humans will inflict it upon us than almost any other "doomsday scenario" I can imagine.

Bang on.

This is why he’s compensated so much, so that he can choose to do other things than care about the plight of the employees that the board wanted to lose.
Working somewhere functional has been difficult to find. Dysfunctional is easy to find.
As the article implores: get paid well for it. Dysfunctional and uncompensated is a hard slog.
Great content! I wish I had this as a beginner. It would have saved me so much pain and time lost in the depths of google search results.
You patent your things, then disseminate. Your ideas will be burglarized, stolen, reintroduced and shown as an invention of someone else (who is a lapdog of given entity).
What does he even do? If we have determined kings aren’t a good way to govern why do we continue it in business? Under his reign, Google has gotten their ass kicked in AI when they should have been leading the pack. Doesn’t seem like pay raise material to me.

> You're suggesting that _no one_ ever used a pseudonym for another without explicitly mentioning it in advance/shortly thereafter?

In academic writing like this, where he is being quite precise about the names and explicitly stating 'a man named Young', where the speech is in fact about being precise & scientific, and the anecdote makes up a good chunk of the speech, which was written in advance, and published at least twice by him afterwards over a decade? Yes. Feynman would have highlighted or signaled a pseudonym, he would not have used a plausible surname (I will remind the reader again, quite a common one back then, and still is).

> the evidence, while reasonable, is not nearly as conclusive as he suggests.

You are suggesting that all this is a red herring and we will find another, completely independent, multi-year investigation into rats using floor cues in mazes done by American grad students in the late 1930s (when American academia was far smaller than it is now), published in a way Feynman could find out, at institutions with links to Feynman via Cornell & Michigan, which also chose to use sand for the same task and rationale, which is not cited by Shepard or Curtis or indeed by any researchers in any of the scores of papers I have jailbroken & read on the topic of sensory leakage in mazes, which has simultaneously eluded all discovery by at least a decade and a half of people taking cracks at it (the 2009 Quora, and then several blogs going back to 2004, not counting the '90s Usenet discussions), and which happens to by sheer coincidence, be the actual source for the anecdote?

That seems unlikely.
Wait, you're telling me that more than a dozen memes have "filled" Google's discussion forums? Google, with its ~175,000 employees? And "many" of these 13 or so memes have been liked?

To quote Sterling Archer... "oh, my stars!"

I don't know if it's just this reporter that's the joke or if it's CNBC as a whole.
It is “the hard problem” :)
I was one of first the "insane number of bookmarks" users on the thread after they quietly pushed this change out:

https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=134746...

What still galls me is that instead of doing the right and reasonable thing and making a feature flag (and adding some indication that you're over their arbitrary limit) they did the bare minimum possible short of nothing at all, replacing one arbitrary mobile limit with the arbitrary desktop limit. And their communications on this? tumbleweeds pass by...

This still hasn't dropped for Android so there's no way to test it out fully yet, and if you're a user with over 100K bookmarks? Too bad, so sad, apparently.
Why not use the c type instances? Is the compilation memory bound? I’d expect it to be the cpu that’s the limiting factor.
Perhaps because that's what you thought. Google's shareholder/board thought CEO is doing great job.
I feel ruby's whole problem in this space is that everyone recommends a different tool. I've used several. None are terrible. But walking into an environment and getting told everyone uses a different tool is
Wow, downvoted for the common practice of pointing out dupes. Anyone able to chime in why? There was a recent HN discussion about reasons, I didn't catch dupe-ing in it.
Crying shame, that.
a) future innovation (at a 300k price point, these are tech workers)

b) 300k was total comp, never have I heard of 300k salary. According to levels.fyi, a L5 makes ~350k total comp
There's some amazing, magical humanity in there.
A lot of the things - especially the good visualization you are referring is already possible with Netflix Conductor. It's OSS and free and also has a company called Orkes backing it.

I think they also have C# SDK which I can't vouch for because I haven't used it.
This comment isn't really an argument, it veers close to a complaint about people you've interacted with. To be honest, the vast majority of developers do not know how a cache works.
Who said cash compensation? I’m using $300k as a total compensation amount. Feel free to adjust the numbers. Even at $600k that’s 9 freakin years of 13,000 knowledge workers doing something.

I’m not the CEO. The CEO’s job is to allocate resources effectively. So develop new products.

Personally, I’d have them work on Google Reader, making GCP competitive, fixing search, fixing Bard, and monetizing Bard.
This is obvious to everyone except the idiots, snakes and weasels writing corporate news stories advocating for censorship.
Thank you didn't know this! I just hope the underdog can stand a chance against the "it just comes with it"
Your examples are all BS.

If public transit isn't good enough, the answer isn't for people to drive cars, it's for the city to build more and better public transit. Complain to your elected officials, or vote for better ones.

If you have a back yard and buy gardening stuff, you can pay to have it delivered. Any city with excellent public transit has no problem delivering cargo by van on surface streets.

You don't need a car if you're disabled. Subway stations should have elevators, or you can use a taxi (subsidized by the local government) or disabled transit van. Any good city has this stuff. Stollers can be used on subways, and stations all have elevators in good cities. Here in Tokyo, parents use strollers on the subways all the time.

It sounds like you live in some corrupt, backwards nation that can't build decent infrastructure.
The reason is that it isn't a really a problem for C programs and is infact very desireable for some applications (OSes for example :) )
> He is getting a raise because you are getting cost cuts and layoffs.

He is getting a raise because the relative power of his position gives him coercive power over employees.

If any particular employee is upset with the decision he can make them feel pain, while it would take a lot of employees working together to cause him any pain at all. He can arbitrarily exercise his power because there is little to stop him or hold him back.
Biology does that through a try-and-fail approach.

Something akin to venture capital, where it makes many, many tries most of which fail and the occasional success moves the field forward.

Presumably investors want more reliable returns from mature companies.
