I think it depends on how the recovery path is made.

During the lexical scanning stage you can persist the token's source code sites, and later reuse them to indicate syntax or similar errors.

For example, in Rust when you parse the syntax from the TokenStream of a procedural macro input, you can bind custom errors to any spans of input tokens, and it works just fine.
well, the argument is that for strong passwords you will need to use a password manager anyway. Which you will sync somehow, which will sync your passkeys too. So in the end you might as well replace all your passwords with passkeys except for the one password you use to access your passkeys in your password manager / the master access basically. The one way to make sure that you never lose access. I think this makes sense, I'm also very dependent on a password manager now.
So is education.

Go/Java is a weird one. I don't see many instances of generics in the wild. Honestly the biggest benefit I enjoy is that people who never intended to use Go in the first place are slightly less loud about Go's position on generics. Beyond that, it's a small quality of life improvement to only have to define min and max once for all of my integer types (incidentally, this is really only a problem in Go because it's so dang easy/convenient to create your own int types, whereas in Rust, Java, TypeScript etc it seems like everyone just uses the standard int types for everything).

This is line of reasoning is a pro-tech disease: "Dangerous thing X has always been technically possible, but logistically prohibitive. Since we have not explicitly done anything to prevent thing X in the past, new technology that removes all logistical barriers to doing thing X is not at all problematic."

It is a problem that our only guardrails to thing X were that human labor was too slow and costly to do it at scale. That we built no other guardrails does not imply that thing X is not a problem, nor that automating thing X at scale is no worse than doing it manually. Moreover, if the only additional guardrail you support is that every time thing X occurs, it goes to the courts, then the reasonable bad actor only needs to make the rest of their operation efficient enough to profit before they go to trial.

> to what end, make rich people richer?

So, in perfect theory land, people get paid because they provide value. That obviously breaks down at the extremes.

But, for sake of example, let's take Uber, super easy to hate on them, but they have had a measurable impact on reducing deaths from drunk driving. That obviously provides a lot of value to people.

Likewise, it is hard to overstate the value people have gained from smartphones, Apple has made a lot of money but they have also provided a lot of value. Arguments over if the individual value brought is long term good or bad for society are a separate topic, but people value their iPhones and therefor they pay for them. No way could something as complicated as an iPhone have been made with 1970s software engineering technology.

The problem is not that biometrics are leaking from my device. The problem is that faces are already on the social media. And that the biometrics of the face can be reconstructed extremely easily and at scale.

But if this is used only to unlock the trust zone/secrets, I guess that works. It seem to be extremely dependent on the device not getting locked up accidentally, lost or damaged. If a damage would lock you out from all of the accounts, this seems rather drastic.

* Now we have a web of primary, secondary, n-ary authentication methods that need managed. Password, app 2-fa, phone 2-fa, tokens etc. Any one could be a weak link in the chain. Now warnings, notifs & reporting is needed to maintain security among all the auth methods.

The general correlation I've seen is that games with more dynamic physics tend to provide more opportunities for exploits. Jumping, bouncing off of other objects in the environment, rapidly changing geometry (by ducking, dodging, etc.), etc. Being able to trigger "mode switches" in physics (like ragdolling, attack animations, clipping prevention logic, etc.) also helps. Complex AI is also a perennial source of fun exploits. Underflows/overflows are not as common as on older systems but you still see them from time to time.

A Prometheus moment if I’ve ever seen one.
I think you actually have that backwards, because your conception of "easier" is a bit skewed.

The question is not "which is easier?", but rather "which is easier to use to produce high-quality output". In your analogy, I'd argue the answer to that question is actually Photoshop. Likewise the answer in the MJ/SD case is MJ.
I think you are on something here. Pretty under-advertised.
I have SD up on a machine with a 3090 and it can't produce output half as good as MJ without a ton of work.

I use SD to augment MJ, like fixing hands with specific LORAs for example, so I definitely appreciate that it exists. But for actually creating a full image in one shot, they're not even comparable.

> which I assume should be possible with the current technological level humans are at

More of an aside, but we are way way way way below the technological level necessary to construct a machine of the same complexity as a self-replicating self-organizing single-cell organism. Nano scale is nano. We're just barely figuring out how to consistently and accurately modify several nucleotides at once, and not even by creating our own tools but by clumsily repurposing pre-existing bacterial tools we happened to stumble across.

Try looking at it from the other side: you're getting a product at a lower base price and can upgrade to a higher model at a later point in time. It's more like buying, and paying for, an iPhone 14 and then having the possibility to upgrade the camera to the iPhone 14 Pro version afterwards.

There's ton of precedent for products that are artificially locked to a lower version. The difference between a NVidia GeForce and the much more expensive Quadro used to be just a bunch of ID resistors. Processor speeds are locked in a similar way.

Same thing with software. There's many cases where you purchase a piece of software and can later buy a feature or "Pro" unlock. You already downloaded all the bits & bytes to you device. Are you not OK with that?

Just going to copy/paste what I put in the Sonia Sotomayor post earlier today:

> The whole point of being a lifetime appointment is so that external parties cannot exert pressure on the justices. The system sacrifices a lot of other checks and balances because it puts "lack of external pressure" on a pedestal far far above most other things. When the justices put themselves in positions where ruling one way or another could make the difference between earning $3M to $100M or $0, it's a complete travesty for the court and the nation. It means we get all the worst parts of lifetime appointments and we still don't even get the primary benefit of it.

On an earlier submission about the Supreme Court, dang said:

> HN has been running a no-politics-for-a-week 'experiment'. Although it hasn't been a week, I think we've learned as much from it as we're going to, so it can be over now. Among what we learned is that it's impossible to define 'politics' with any consensus because that question is itself highly political, and that HN is at its best when it can meander through all the (intellectually) interesting things, some of which inevitably have political dimensions.

Given that the Supreme Court rules on all technological issues [0][1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9], there's an argument to be made that external influence on the Supreme Court can guide YC founders to better predict where Clarence Thomas and Sonia Sotomayor's decisions might land on edge-case issues, based on how those cases affect their benefactors, and allow founders to make more accurate bets on the future.

There's also an argument to be made that this is rage-bait and will bring down the quality of discourse on HN. I'm sympathetic to that.
