I think once we get to the point where the design is so fixed for a set of standardised tasks like that, that we know how long it will take, the design is also so fixed that we can run a script that generates the code for it, so the time to make it is close to zero.
> Today, Google has sent me an email about their intention to deprecate their (device-bound) iOS authenticator

Is this the TOTP authenticator app that Google only started actively maintaining again in the last year or so? If that's the case, that's pretty funny timing.
Apparently so; I just saw that as well (and edited my post). Bizarre.

Between that and completely removing anonymous attestation (i.e. implicit device binding), it makes me wonder what Apple's motives here really are...

Not just a director. There's a chance for infinite commentaries. Random cast members. Comedians. Scientists breaking down movies. Historians. And it avoids the copyright pitfalls of posting similar to YouTube. Netflix could really be providing a ton of "augmented" content.

It wouldn't surprise me if this got resolved the same way the conflict over sampling in music was resolved: the studios all made cross-licensing deals with each other and the musicians themselves got crumbs, if that.

> 1. why don't we have more user-programmable FPGAs in our fancy desktop mainboards

It has been tried, but GPUs are so fast and efficient enough that it’s rarely worth it.

It’s very easy to attach an FPGA to the PCIe bus as an add-in card exactly like your GPU. In fact, many FPGA dev boards come in exactly this format. They’re available, they’re just not in demand.

> 2. is there a SoC board, ARM or RISC-V based, with an FPGA on board? The slower the CPU, the more useful an FPGA would be to accelerate compute tasks

Plenty of FPGA parts include ARM cores. It’s a fairly standard chip configuration.

You can also connect an FPGA and an SoC with PCIe or other interconnects. It’s really not an obstacle.

FPGAs just aren’t very efficient from a cost or dev time perspective for most applications. They’re indispensable when you need them, though.
That's just a local bias. I used to live where a street turned from two-way to one-way, and people drove the wrong way all the time.

Hell we practically invented the revolving door. So anything I say here is going to be next-level hypocrite, givn where my checks come from.
Size, speed, features. You can have a small FPGA for about 2$. You will however be limited in the complexity of the design you can implement because it has limited gates and pins. And limited speed. Like normal processors if you want faster, bigger and more features the cost shoots up. Combine that with the limited market for big FPGA's and they can be very high in price.
Mind you that many also have things like a multi core ARM processor on board since many designs need a processor to control the circuit. Same with many interfaces. Would be a shame to use the limited gates in the FPGA for standard things like that.
Can you explain how passkeys explicitly reaches that end goal, when all of that is already currently possible without passkeys?
It seems like every week someone comes out with some version of "we can get results similar to OpenAI's API with our model that you can run on a Commodore 64!"

> What was that about ethics again?

We should not be talking about ethics if we're talking about Mozilla either. From shameless extension backdoors to not blocking trackers from Google on purpose, it's all over the place when it comes to ethics and privacy. At least Brave directly challenges Big Tech by making bolder decisions to block them instead of being afraid like Firefox, enabling trackers and not providing any privacy against Google.

What Brave has done with respect to privacy features, Firefox couldn't even do it in decades:

https://privacytests.org

https://brave.com/privacy-updates/

I do understand that Brave is a chromium fork and that they depend on Chromium for patches but this is still a FOSS browser that is independently funded and has better statistical chances of survival than Firefox. Brave's MAU is very good, almost doubling every year since its first release. On top of that, they're the only existing company that challenges Big Tech search engine monopoly by actually providing a great privacy focused search engine that is also independently indexed.

Firefox is a series of unfulfilled promises and failures. An untapped potential ruined by management.

I looked for 30 min. I found no evidence from my own searching and asking some new media acquaintances. No one can show me where Gavin and Proud Boys was started by any [far] leftist or involved any far leftists.

I also only found one or two sources denying that Proud Boys is not [far] right wing. Including sympathizers.

Do you have any knowledge on what type of [far] leftist Gavin or any Proud Boy was?

> It had nothing whatever to do with COBOL

Except for the name, which IIRC was an intentional dig at an early COBOL standard that defined how you pronounced 'COBOL'. 'SNOBOL' can sound like 'snow-ball', analogous to a US accent where COBOL can be pronounced 'CO-ball'.

[Edit] I used SNOBOL briefly in the 80s at Uni. It was one of the first 'odd' languages we were introduced to after Pascal, along with APL.

Originally, it had to do with board games and running them in a web/cloud environment.

Using websockets made building the game easier, but now there is exceptionally complex state within the process (await/async). Generally speaking, the cloud is unforgiving place to hold state within a process.

I can speak deeply about streams at scale ( https://dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/3477132.3483572 ).

Adama emerged as a tool to help define a "transactional document schema" which I could use to emit deltas to a logger (like Kafka), and once I added a notion of "privacy polices with code"... the potential exploded.

I believe I'm onto something with this platform, so I've decided to start hiring to build digital products that fit the thesis.

I would say I'm over-engineering in that I'm making the service available to others rather than leveraging in a portfolio of products, but I'd rather keep it open rather than have secrets.

> HTTP2/3 […] but does not change the limit of max concurrency imposed by the browser.

No. HTTP/2 is allowed far more than 6 requests at a time; within a single connection it's limited by the max concurrent streams setting in the SETTINGS frame and the browser's willingness to take advantage of it; AIUI, e.g., in Firefox, that limit is 100.[1]

From there, you're limited by connection bandwidth and any brief HoL blocking caused by dropped packets (but not by HoL blocking caused at the server).

Thanks for sharing some details of your situation. Before I provide a more substantive reply, I want to point out this line from my comment:

When considering whether public school teachers are underpaid on average

I was talking specifically about public school teachers, so what I wrote was definitely not meant to apply to your situation.

> you're valuing #2 very highly; it is worth 45% to very few educators

Take a look at this page of actual salaries for SFUSD, and actual total pay and benefits for SFUSD teachers: https://transparentcalifornia.com/salaries/search/?q=Eld%20C...

Total pay is 43% to 153% higher than base pay. The average % is 55%.

I'm not cherry picking. I just picked a job role that people think is underpaid (elementary school teacher), and looked at the first page of results.

> In the end, the low comp is causing a lot of teachers to self-select out of the profession, and it's a reason why we have a teacher shortage.

You're probably right about this. But I suspect this causes the most capable people to leave (or just never consider entering) the profession. I'm in favour of both raising the bar for teachers, and paying them more to attract people who can meet that bar. Unfortunately, it seems like districts and unions are unwilling to hold teachers to account[0]. (Yes, I know districts have many other failings that are more severe than this.)

> You're also ignoring credentialing, continuing education
> and total education requirements.

Honestly I'm skeptical of the value of some of the stuff required for teachers to become and stay credentialed. And teaching is far from the only job that requires continuing education.

> My total comp is well under 10% of what I could make in private industry.

This is really interesting. Do you mind me asking how you look at this decision? e.g. why not take the job paying 10x what you make now, and use some of the excess money to help students in other ways? Or take a part-time job paying 5x, and volunteer the rest of the time?

I wasn't arguing the merits of price gouging, rather that as opposed to what CPI figures may suggest, the poorest have been hit much harder, by much higher inflation than those better off.

Seeing as we're now on the topic. Demand may be high where you are but that certainly doesn't hold true in the UK. The statistics show clearly that people are buying less[0] and getting less for it.

Retail volume is down 3.1% on 2022 across the board, there's literally a chart titled "Divergence between retail sales volumes and values"[1] showing how severely people are being squeezed. Figure 4[2] breaks out the same data for food retail specifically.

While certain demographics have been able to somewhat keep up with rising prices, the reality is that some food banks are having to distribute 50% more than they did pre-pandemic[3]. Real disposable income is already well below 2020 levels and expected to erase a decade of "growth" as it nosedives towards that of 2013[4].

what i do is break it into two projects. The first is a "discovery" project where you learn what you need to know to give an accurate estimate. You can usually get a discovery estimate in the ballpark by understanding how complex the ask is and how many people you're going to have to interview. Then you deliver the actual estimate along with all your evidence that will drive the scope definition.
There’s no reason this functionality couldn’t be built into the client. Adding an unencrypted hash provides a side-channel into the encrypted passwords and should be avoided. Since passwords are not chosen at random and even when using a password manager, the generated passwords usually
optimize for memorization, so the input domain for the hash function is substantially smaller, and therefore, can be brute forced to reveal the password.

As for the second question, it is usually implemented using hashing the password but revealing only a small prefix of the hash to a remote server. The remote server then sends a list of known-to-be-compromised password hashes that start with said prefix, which the client can use to find out if a password is compromised without revealing the password or its complete hash to the server[1].

This is easy to say, but I think the issue is that getting an LLM right isn't easy, so it's not clear who should steward such a project. Something like BLOOM shows that even if you have the necessary compute, you can still get a model that isn't good.

I think it will take some time for it to be clear who is a leader in training open source models (maybe it will be the red pajama folks?) and I think they'll get more support after that.
How do people find "quick wins" (high value things that are low effort) without some kind of estimate?

> You implement an arbitrary blob of logic by having the inputs form the address

This is incorrect. Modern FPGAs are composed of small, configurable blocks which contain all sorts of logic. The idea is that the configurable blocks can be (internally) wired-up to implement your logic of choice. The wiring configuration is "loaded" at power-on and retained in memories within each, configurable block.

Woof, I think this right here is the thing that we'll never get beyond.

If you're from the US, then they're the same thing. For the average person (again, from the US), it means an inflation rate more directly coupled to money supply (i.e. the opposite of how it was in the past; some of this is of course already very evident and has been, for about a year and change--modern monetary theory notwithstanding).
Yes, developers can disable third party keyboards throughout their entire app with an application delegate method[0], and when secureTextEntry[1] is enabled on UITextField the system automatically disables third party keyboards on both that text field as well as any immediately adjacent text field (likely for username+password combos).

The idea is that because keyboards can connect to the internet (with user permission), there's potential for data theft. It may also be possible to exfiltrate data from a keyboard extension by saving the data to an app container shared by the host app, which the host app can then send out with its network access.

Devs who don't know how or care to properly accommodate the variable height of third-party keyboards may use the app-wide opt-out to eliminate bugs relating to that, though I haven't personally encountered this.
