100k devices is the minimum. Also I already agreed that this is an expansion of information, were it to be requested in practice and the user chose to provide it. And I don't believe the use case for attestation in enterprise settings is narrow. For the "own locked down devices" is that Enterprise Attestation exists, which has management overhead in both its configurations, wheras normal attestation does not.

I can't comment on the intent link, as there's no information. But the "practice" link is simply incorrect. Google does in fact allow a Yubikey to be used as a passkey, I have one configured myself. It shows up as "FIDO2 security key". What I assume is happening in that link you sent is that the user's yubikey does not have a PIN set for the FIDO2 interface, which means that it can't provide user verification and therefore is not a passkey as far as Google is concerned. This is the kind of reasoning about the capabilities of the authenticator that I was talking about, and it doesn't have to do with attestation.

> it's their job to build a standard that appeals to me if they want me to use it

They're appealing to OEMs, vendors and service providers as well. I also don't quite see how merely having attestation in the standard is harmful. RPs and users can chose not to require or provide it. If RPs decided they needed it for malicious purposes, would not having it in the standard suffice for them to be benign?

> That wouldn't solve any of my problems; the sync fabric isn't the important part -- I want to control my own keys.

It would, because then the sync fabric is free to provide you with an exported version that's wrapped in a key of your choosing. It's open in the sense that any one software can import/export keys out of hardware devices that are currently restricted to the hardware vendor.
One is a law enforcement agency that primarily focuses on domestic cases. It is set up to follow requirements that protect constitutional rights, with the ultimate goal being a prosecution through the justice system.

The other is an intelligence agency that focuses on foreign collection, analysis and action. Its activities are definitionally illegal in the places where it operates, with the ultimate goal being to inform and enforce American foreign policy using means other than the US justice system.

The CIA sharing information with the FBI generally means that the 4th amendment has been violated, because the CIA operates with an "ends justify the means" framework that the FBI isn't supposed to use.

Edit: I worked with defense/intel forensics as Iraq was transitioning from wartime (intelligence based) to peacetime (justice based) frameworks for dealing with terrorists. There is a massive difference between intelligence briefings needed in a wartime environment to prevent IEDs through "kinetic action" and the evidence packet needed to prosecute terrorists in court as civil society reasserts itself.

Wow, no wonder our lives are worse than our parents’.
Without a market, there is no fair evaluation of value.
Pretty much. It’s not an “inside job” as much as it was a tragedy of errors.

The CIA having a double agent inside Al Qaeda sounds like a great plan… until you find out these men were involved in a terrorist plot that succeeded in killing thousands.

But no one has ever done what they did before.

"What would be the negatives with sharing information with each other? "

In general in the dark world of secret services, there is a "need to know" principle, about protecting sources.

Meaning, what someone does not know, he cannot leak.
Because when the enemy knows, that file X leaked and he knows that only 5 persons had access to that file, they can find the source easily.

That has been happened a lot of times accidently, but likely has even been used to activly sabotage each others operations, as the bosses of each others service did not liked each other to put mildly.

You can always train yourself to get up very early. My friend who is 39 wakes up at 4 am and works until noon. He calls me at 1:30p to chill. So, just for some perspective, maybe you can nudge your wakefulness up a couple hours and be about your particular grind daily before your fixed schedule kicks in. It's not easy to get an edge over the system, you have to be very creative and diligently persistent. There are some insane people on YouTube I can refer you to if who have provided me with glimpses into insane levels of motivation. The taste of freedom is so sweet, one will do what it takes to achieve it. You know what I mean? Your schedule is fixed now, but if you double-down and have 2 fixed schedules one day you should be schedule-less. At least, that's the goal. But of course, not always easy or straightforward. And so, you can hear the wise advice of my grandmother to my father, who said "I'll work now and stack gold and enjoy myself later," and she said "you gotta work a little and live a little, in tandem." So maybe that is a wiser way than the way I'm going, burning the candle at both ends, but I thought I should give you my 2cents since this is a forum for generative pre-trained entrepreneurs. GPE
Doctorow's definition of "enshittification" has always rubbed me the wrong way. Platforms oscillate between good and bad for all sorts of reasons, and the best platforms (imo) live and die on the culture of their userbase. There have been truly godawful social media systems out there, like Nintendo's Miiverse or the old Dark Souls message system (or even HN, in a way). They're still immensely fun to use, though - mostly because of the culture of their userbase. You could argue they might leave if their surpluses are directed back to the shareholders, but many of these platforms don't need much surplus to exist in the first place. The $40 billion Twitter valuation is a joke, it's undeniable that there is some form of imposed value outside of what the company is actually worth. In other words, the enshittification of TikTok correlates directly with the enshittification of it's userbase. Same goes for all of these other lowest-common-denominator platforms.

Plus, his examples seem to contradict his thesis:

- Mobile app stores have always been controlled by their vendors, there is no illusion of non-shittification there

- Steam has no real shareholders, and exploits suppliers to cater to users and and themselves

- Facebook has a half-dozen different platforms that have all arguably launched in pre-shittified states

- Twitter lives a constant repeating lifecycle of enshittification and resurrection, mostly because most people can't be bothered to find an alternative

It all feels like trying to unify these concepts under one formal thesis of shit is a bad idea. Our expectations of the internet are constantly changing, and our cultural landscape is shifting to realize that we've had a pretty raw deal for the past decade. Now we want to lash out at the platform-holders, when deep-down we know that we're partially to blame.

I just wish Doctorow didn't use this idea to peddle the idea of helplessness to Twitter/Tumblr/Whatever users. There are alternatives, TikTok should not be the be-all-end-all of internet interaction anyways.
> NATO is arming literal nazi corps in Ukraine (Azov, Aidar, Right Sector)

This is a blatant mischaracterisation of our military aid to Ukraine.
Oh, sure, all of that. My point is that it's a tough argument to say that there were more wars because of labor displacement.

There was probably more political upheaval--that I agree with. But there were a ton of European wars prior to the industrial revolution and the (consequent?) rise of democratic movements.
Truth told, Raspberry Pi is the only device I've ever used v4l2 to do video encoding with. It does seem to work well enough, but since I was using it via GStreamer, I have no idea what the API looks like. The advantage of Vulkan is that they've already got a functional and productive committee with all of the GPU vendor stakeholders to work out the design, whereas VA-API and VDPAU seem to have somewhat different designs and seem to be mostly championed by a single GPU vendor. I have a bit more confidence that the Vulkan designs for hardware accelerated video will be good for both hardware vendors and application developers (even if it is still low-level.)

In a neighboring comment thread, hrydgard states that it is very much possible to have a Vulkan driver that has only video encoding/decoding queues, which if true resolves the potential awkwardness in my opinion. That's especially relieving if true as well since Vulkan looks to be a prime contender to take up the mantle for OpenCL as well; especially believable now seeing what has been done with rusticl.

Perhaps it is still a little awkward, but Vulkan as a general hardware acceleration abstraction layer seems like it could be a very good thing. As it is, as an application developer, you're probably better off on Linux just using GStreamer or Pipewire rather than v4l2 directly, since some devices (e.g. Blackmagic Decklink) provide GStreamer integration but not v4l2 drivers. In that case, it hardly matters what API abstracts the hardware as long as it does a good job of it.
HN doesn't have that much traffic so it's easier than you might think!
Making cement releases carbon dioxide in the conversion of flimsy calcium carbonate to sturdy calcium oxide by roasting it.

Reversing the process by injecting carbon dioxide in curing cement is turning sturdy calcium oxide into flimsy calcium carbonate. Every pound of CO2 you sequester this way necessitates multiple pounds of CO2 released elsewhere to get that oxide to your construction site (production + transportation).

The economics and carbon footprint are similar to corn ethanol- attractive and green if you pay no attention to the total balance.

A corn belt politician I’d expect this from. IEEE should know better.
That example has no relation at all to the topic. You seem to think that they are mutually exclusive or that "only" (in the part you have quoted) refers to something it does not. Just read what I said again.

It is reality, I worked in equity research specializing in consumer products so am reasonably familiar with the space. Consumers just see the product, but the economics are about a lot more. The actual product is but one area of competition (as I explained, just anecdotally product-focused consumer companies are the best kind of shorts because they will almost always saturate their market and be unable to build an area of solid competitive advantage...because product doesn't really matter).

I suspect you will have a problem comprehending this again, so to be clear: this does not mean that companies do not compete on product. It just means that product is often not the predominant factor.

I am not sure what you are saying but there is less competition in FMCG than QSR. Distribution consolidated heavily, and FMCGs have consolidated heavily too because the game is largely about expanding SKUs on existing distributor relationships (the economic model is actually very similar to Google, if you have a distribution network then it improves economics to add SKUs...this has been key for PEP) and advertising spend.

If you look at QSR, a lot of the product innovation that you see is superficial because of the limits of the operating model. Most of the "product innovation" is competition on advertising, there is real competition here (unlike with FMCG where ad spend is often defensive) because of consumer behaviour/the product consumption cycle (if you have ever been outside the US, you will realise that advertising on US TV is extremely unusual in this regard). And property has definitely become more important over the past decade (the growing chains are ones that have grown into the demographic shifts of the past ten years, chains with locations in legacy areas, i.e. malls, that are in decline have suffered).

Again, there is no competition at the margin. The world doesn't work that way. If MCD remove sesame seeds from their bun, there is not going to be a new entrant with more seeds. Maybe they add more seeds, maybe they add more sauce but that doesn't change that if they removed seeds to make numbers (which has happened before), there is very little risk to their competitive position. Again, the proof of this is how the world actually works, not based on some theoretical model of competition that you just thought up sitting in your bedroom.
You need a reason in several US states, and have to be approved by a judge. Some give more leeway than others, but you can't just roll up and ask to have your name changed to "Tequila Slammer Johnson III" without some damn good reasons.

But if you want to change your name from Jessica Smith to your middle name, and thusly be Amanda Smith, that might fly. Doubly so if you have a stalker ex with restraining orders.

Plus I'm not really cool with the idea of you being forced to have a name. You didn't choose it, your parents' did, and they may not have been in sound mind (or have ever been in sound mind, for that matter). If I'm an adult and can vote, drink alcohol, operate motor vehicles, etc, why can't I chose my own name? We let people choose their own pronouns, are you forcing people to use a dead name now, too?

I do get where you are coming from. Indeed, it makes little sense to use Julia for lots of machine learning when PyTorch and Jax are just so good. And it sounds like you don't want to use Julia, so who am I to try and convince you? Python/R are capable languages.

But, there are still reasons I reach for Julia.

Interesting packages where I prefer Julia over Python/R: Turing.jl for Bayesian statistics; Agents.jl for agent-based modelling; DifferentialEquations.jl for ODE solving.

I would much rather data-munge tabular data in Julia (DataFrames.jl) than Python, though R is admittedly quite nice on this front.

Personally I reach for Julia when I want to use one of the previous packages, or something which I want to code up from scratch, where base Julia is much preferable to me than numpy.

Corporations exist as a privilege granted by the government as protection against certain liabilities that would discourage individuals and groups from doing riskier things all the way back to the charter days.

I think unless you're firing the executives that overhired, you're not fixing the root cause of the problem which is bad leadership. There's a "hack" that's causing the market for leadership to be highly inefficient and distorted and that's class solidarity between the upper classes. Executives are mostly placed for the favors they can offer capital owners, not their "performance".

There's a lot of ground between "just raise the minimum wage", and making it so that most patrons feel that the staff working at a restaurant are the same socioeconomic class as them and therefore aren't being "exploited".

It would sure be nice if we could snap our fingers and "stop worker exploitation". But throwing an idyllic state of affairs out as a "solution" to reject a concrete idea that might actually move us towards a better place is counterproductive.

As pointed out elsewhere in this thread, if you ask restaurant workers about tipping many actually like it because good servers at good restaurants apparently do end up making a decent wage. So like a lot of things, the tiny sliver of shining meritocracy ends up carrying water for an overall oppressive dynamic. Which is why I think some transparency into what exactly a "tip" means in any given context would go a long way - the various ways business owners divert tips is itself a very direct form of worker exploitation.

It allows me to pay for a service that I use and I know costs money to run - for a reasonable fee (although it just went up in price and is less reasonable now), given how many hours our family watches per month on YouTube.

Creators still get paid from YouTube premium views, and some creators see better revenue from that than from YouTube ads. I like supporting the creators I watch. I refuse to participate in regular ads. Sponsored segments are (barely) tolerable and skippable.

I run an ad blocker and try to provide compensation to the sources I consume regularly. Patreon, news subscriptions, YouTube premium, etc. So just blocking ads through Newspipe or similar but still consuming a lot of video - doesn't feel right to me.

In criminal court at least, evidence is only admitted based on a chain of custody. You're not supposed to enter random videos off YouTube into evidence - you can only enter a piece of video into evidence based on witness testimony about how the video was taken.

As such, the question of deep-fakes should be relatively irrelevant to (criminal) courts. If a witness claims that a particular video was filmed on a particular day in a particular way, that is as much evidence as you need. Whether that witness is lying remains to be proven during the course of the trial.

Things may be different in civil court, where the standards for evidence are more lax I believe.
I wish I was paid for wasting too much time around here, then I totally agree with your point.

This is good enough for my usecase and it beats an old P40, but I have no idea what the performance on 3090/4090 would be.

The sad truth is that it's the average README that's hilariously bad, not that you did something strange or wrong. As you say - whenever something is trying to be useful to anyone other than the author, the author should in turn try to be helpful. Unfortunately, programmers always had a love-hate relationship with documentation (love it when you need it and others wrote it for you, hate the guts of it if it's you who need to write it), but I think it got progressively worse in the last decade.

At work, I have to often seriously fight for there to even be a README. Lack of docs and docstrings, lack of meaningful comments in the code, utter lack of visualization was the norm in the 90s, then it got better for a while, and now we've done a full circle and are back with undocumented spaghetti everywhere.

It's really strange, and I don't understand why it's like this. I tell people who nominally are way past being juniors to read their code before making a PR - to see how easy to understand it is - and they look like they just got enlightened. Like, isn't this (reading your own code) the most basic of all ways of working with code? Same for READMEs, I tell them to put all the information needed for a new person to set the project up, and am met with blank stares - why would they, programmers, bother with writing down plain English and managing the information surrounding what they do? Have these guys never thought about what the "I" in "IT" means?

Sorry, that's a possibly unwarranted rant, but when I see posts like GP's that seem to assume that writing a helpful README is somehow strange and a waste of effort unless it translates into clicks, it just blows my mind, it a pretty negative way.
With only iOS and Android as realistic choices, we genuinely need a more viable (real) Linux phone soon. I have zero faith that Google will let something like GrapheneOS stay in the somewhat usable state that it is in now.
