The comments are full of statements regarding security capabilities for passkeys. But there is no public specification that even defines requirements for the exchange of passkeys between devices. Google and Apple make statements on their websites regarding the security, but all of it is practically unverifiable. Please note that end-to-end encryption is useless, if you are not controlling all the endpoints.

Sites of course could use the device public key extension of the WebAuthn protocol, to rely on more than a private key copied intransparently between devices, but I wonder, who will even know about it and actually use it. Google has stated they support the extension, but I cannot find a statement by Apple. A question whether DevPubKey is supported by Apple is unanswered on the Apple Developer Forums.
If the number was correct, openAI would kill to obtain the algorithm to employ GAN techniques. As always, detecting anything AI-made just means the AI is now capable of passing this test too.
There is a point where bandwidth is so huge that with a bit of medium and a pair of repeaters, it becomes memory.
i was once doing a racecar event at a venue with two racetracks. the other track had a motorcycle event and i think they airlifted three people out over the course of two days. i do not think i will ever be comfortable with riding a motorcycle.
In my opinion it would be better to let those vast acres be returned to the wild and build nuclear instead, which has a much smaller environmental footprint.
Hardly anybody supports iOS 11 these days anyway. Every device capable of running iOS 11 can be upgraded to iOS 12, which was released almost five years ago.
That graph really should be log scale. No disrespect to Tim Apple.
Thank you. I wish you were manager at Alphabet hah!
Yes, GP might have misremembered 25%. To be clear: that is still way too high in my view. (That credit cards in less regulated economies like the US charge more than 2% is obscene.)
However, the badly needed disruption will come (hopefully) from good old (centralised) FinTech (such as Wise), not from the crypto bros.
In webpack, if you use a simple dynamic `import()`, it will compile all the files that it might possibly match. Then in PHP I just pass down the name of the script I want to load plus a bit of server-side data and render it. You can fiddle with the webpack settings about how aggressively it will code split or re-use libs. I recommend throwing all the vendor/3rd party party stuff/rarely changing libs into a single package and set a long TTL. Then the first time a user visits it can download all that junk and from then on they only have to re-download the bits that you change. For me, I might change a few pages a week. For my day job, we deploy once a day, M-Th, so even then if a user visits 100 pages in a day, they only pay for the JS on the first click of the day, and only the parts that have changed for the most part.

I am excited to announce the launch of Tripbook, a mileage tracker app that I have developed

As a freelancer, I personally experienced the lack of quality mileage tracking apps that where user-friendly, accurate mileage tracking and not too expensive.

The core objective in developing Tripbook was to create an app that is exceptionally user-friendly. I aimed to provide an intuitive and seamless experience for tracking and managing car trips.

Tripbook automatically detect yours trips, records them, and allows you to easily categorize them as business, personal or commute. Furthermore, can you generate reports in CSV, XLS or PDF.

If you are interested and trying out Tripbook, you can download the app from the App Store (free till 20 trips a months) using this link https://apps.apple.com/app/id6447760823

Looking forward for any feedback or comments!
Make a cube out of 4 MERV 13 filters and a box fan on top and the cardboard the box fan came in on the bottom and secure it with duct tape. That'll help reduce the load on the box fan and push more air through more filters.
I couldn't replicate your results with that query on GPT-4.

Prompt: What’s heavier, a kilogram of steel or two kilograms of one kilogram feathers?

GPT-4: Two kilograms of one-kilogram feathers are heavier than a kilogram of steel. Despite the misconception caused by the popular question about what's heavier—a kilogram of steel or a kilogram of feathers (they are equal)—in this case, you are comparing two kilograms of feathers to one kilogram of steel. Hence, the feathers weigh more.
Three fourths is the same as three quarters, yes.

I wonder which study will turn out to be correct.
Never expect such promises to go your way, especially when VCs, angels, etc are able to control the project with their opaque terms sheet, which is why I am skeptical of this. Accepting VC, angel investment cash is no different to having another boss.

I am expecting such high expectations like that to end in disappointment for the 'community' since the interests will now be in the VCs to head for the exit. Their actions will speak more than what they are saying on the website.
> Trust instead in the long long long history of BTC as a stable currency.

You perceive it as unstable because you're using USD as a unit-of-account. As a thought exercise, if you were using BTC as the unit of account, what you would perceive unstable is the US dollar. And what you would see is that the USD value would be trending down against BTC, especially if you choose a time-frame equal or higher than 4 years.

So yeah mate, nothing to see here, keep holding your cash.
please stop spreading unfounded and vicious rumours - or show us some proof.
I'm curious about what supplier and system you're using? I'm currently using a bunch of smartair purifier, that gets indoor pm2.5 to close to zero even when it gets really bad outside every year (also in Thailand).

> They don't have to lose that much for a problem to exist If we go by the 1% rule, their main value creators, which are more likely to be a Power user who could be affected by the degraded experience,

I dunno. In my experience it's the power users who are the last to leave a platform. Whether we're talking OSes, Office suites, etc, it's always the power users who remain after everyone else gets fed up.

In this case, the 1% value their high karma account and name-recognition on the platform more than they dislike the reddit changes.

I am willing to bet a small amount of money that Reddit will continue being fine even with these most recent changes.
It’s not, because law enforcement considers your computer as private property, while anything you upload on the cloud is seizable without warrant. I’m not joking, it was rapported on HN at the time of the Snowden leaks that NSA can legally monitor your data as long as you transmit it over the wire.
Plenty of open source projects only release on one OS because that's the one the developer uses, even if porting them would not be difficult.
FWIW with GPT4:

Prompt: What’s heavier, a kilogram of steel or two kilograms of one kilogram feathers?

GPT4: Two kilograms of feathers are heavier than one kilogram of steel. The weight of an object is determined by its mass, and two kilograms is greater than one kilogram, regardless of the material in question.
Are people still happy about Tailscale being a user land version of wireguard? The last benchmarks I saw showed an ~ 50% performance penalty over the native kernel level implementation.
> By the way, VLSI is the remains of a real technology company that went out of business... because its IP was blatantly copied. They had no choice but to sell out to a patent troll.

I'd like to hear more about this. Wikipedia seems to say that VLSI Technology was an original investor in ARM Ltd. (which seems like it should have been worth something), was acquired by Philips in 1999, and continues to operate as part of Philips spinoff NXP Semiconductors.

Is this VLSI a different company?

I disagree, it's way easier to meet people now that I don't loose 1.5h every day. I also eat better and have more energy, so I can go to the climbing gym/the sea every day, which I couldn't when I was in a office.
The big problem comes when they want to use their crypto horde to buy real world stuff.

Want to buy a house? Now you need to convert your crypto into fiat and a deed transfer. People will start asking where your funds are coming from. This is where you tend to get caught.
Eufy smart scale P2 Pro. $79.99

It has wifi and bluetooth, so it always syncs up with your phone and can track multiple people. I don't really trust the body measurement stuff but use it for measurement per measurement information. The heart rate is kind of nice to track too.
Just because it makes mistakes on a domain that may not be part of it's data and/or architectural capabilities doesn't mean it can't do what humans consider "reasoning".

Once again, I implore you to come up with a working definition of "reasoning" so that we can have a real discussion about this.

Many undergraduates also confidently regurgitate incorrect proofs of linear algebra theorems, do you consider them completely lacking in reasoning ability?
Mesh VPN is one way. The VPS node will be the coordination server.

Tor is another, onion layers of tunnels.

But maybe there is an easy networking solution, like creating a route table on VPS implementing a relay or STUN server , that says traffic coming from the peers public key is exchanged on VPS server.
According to the article, Reddit has gone from 20 employees to 2,000 over the last ten years. As someone who still uses the old theme and has been conditioned to use Google instead of Reddit’s own search functionality, it’s hard to understand the additional value all that extra labor brought to users.

Except the Tailscale implementation doesn't allow you to add more passkeys to an account. There is no "one account multiple keys" here.

I feel fortunate to run one of my current projects in that aforementioned "Linode-esque" fashion.

It is just so, so much simpler to debug and trace what's going on. It can handle a surprising amount of traffic and work before any actual issues come up. Nothing changes from an upstream vendor, at all. It really "just works".

That said, I'm very aware there's a sweet spot and that this doesn't work past a certain point. I just think that point is so far beyond where most people actually get.
Morals are about behaving right or wrong because that leads to good things or bad things, so, if you make the wrong choice (here, giving up some liberty for a small amount of safety) then you do indeed deserve what you get - neither - because you chose wrong.
There's more. Password recovery means that you're changing your password. Every single password reset flow does what it says on the tin - resets your password. After it's complete, old password is gone, account has a new password. This is logical.

For Passkeys, going through the recovery flow may indicate two possible things: 1) that you lost the Passkey and going through the recovery to replace it with a new one; or 2) that you merely want to log in on a different device where the original Passkey is not available.

This, of course, is going to work in practice - much worse designs had worked after all. But it's all logically unsound, and not really addressed by standard bodies or large implementers. It's not a big deal and there are ways to make it logical - but because it's not addressed it's gonna be a mess.
Probably not, or at least not much. At home I have my own office, a window that looks out on trees and provides ample natural light, and my family. And I don't have to wear pants or shoes.

At the office I share an office with someone. It has no windows, so it's stuffy and lit only by harsh florescent lights. We have to take turns using the office because we just sit on video calls all day. I basically just sit in this torture box on video calls all day.

If it were five minutes walk, I would consider walking over there after dropping the kids off at school and walking back before they got home so I could greet them.
I kinda wish all filtering was done with a greatly increased surface area.

A 10x increase in surface area would mean far far less powerful fans are needed, and the filters could last a decade before needing to be replaced.
Wow what a useless article. I actually read the whole thing looking for some insight and it isn't there. It's basically just saying "CICO works but i don't like it and here are some vague pointless metaphors about a house that don't make sense".

> We need a law that mandates commute time be counted as billable hours. Those two hours of commute should come out of the 8 the employer gets.

That sounds like a good way to make companies do WFH wherever they can.

I mean, they already give preference to candidates near the office in order to facilitate ridiculous hours.
Cook’s skill sets are very unique and rare. I hope Apple is ready - or would be ready soon - for post Cook era
More than 90% of modern civilization's economic output per capita was created after the industrial revolution, but everyone would agree that without the industrial revolution, we wouldn't have modern economies. Similarly, I think everyone agrees that without Jobs, we wouldn't have today's Apple.
> The Waymo AV then made contact with the dog

The Waymo car squished the dog's head like a pimple, killing it.

This is somewhat obvious, but 25 MPH in a city scenario is way too fast. From a robot car in beta, experimenting on live animals, it's way way too fast.

20 MPH (~30 kph) is what they use in europe - that sounds better for city speed limits.

Robot cars in beta should not be allowed to move more than 2 mph in the city.

If they can prove they are safe -- if -- they maybe we can let them start to move a bit faster.

The reason that humans are allowed to drive and maim and terrorize and kill in the city is not a valid reason to allow robots to do the same -- we should disallow humans from doing it as well.

And we should start but putting governors on all cars and have them auto-obey speed limits.
Sports bikes in particular don't have much steering angle to work with, so at slow speeds - on a course designed to test slow speed manouvering - they can have wide turning circles.

It is possible to turn more tightly but it requires leaning much more into the turn. That needs a lot of skill and confidence to do smoothly at low speed when the bike has a high center of gravity. The bike will crash if you brake or stall, and on a sports bike there often isn't a huge amount of torque at low engine speeds, so you need to be very adept at clutch slipping and modulating the rear brake.

The course in the video isn't that bad though. A U-turn on the road, a mandatory part of the UK test, is done with a tighter radius than anything on that video.
I've heard no shortage of stories from coworkers at big-tech or fancy startups in the past couple of years where line-level managers simply aren't able to make the tough decisions.

A third of your team is getting practically nothing done? Are you having the tough conversations that need to happen? Or do you not want to rock the boat (it might not look great on you, either, especially if your peer managers aren't taking things seriously).

You're right, you can't hide forever. People do get fired. And in a couple cases this has ultimately resulted in the managers getting fired too when higher-ups realized the sheer obviousness of "they aren't doing a single thing" that was being ignored.

Failures all around, but I get why one would say "we didn't have this level of complete abdication back when people were in the office" and take that as the easy solution rather than trying to make huge swaths of both their managers and employees get way better discipline, extremely quickly.

'Myself and A ton of engineering-types' is a rounding error on the size of society. The number of people that can afford to do this is super small, and those that do typically can do so because they are fairly carefree (healthy, few if any dependents). $20k / year will not support a family and growing food and hunting isn't how the vast bulk of society stays alive.
There’s a neat paper showing that you can have trustless decentralised exchanges only for on-chain assets, ie exchanging one crypto for another. Real world assets (including fiat) cannot be securely bought on blockchains.

Doing illegal things... in Minecraft
I used to ride a motorcycle. Once in Palomar mountain i was riding with a group and saw this guy who brought race tires. He was at the bottom of the mountain and I saw him getting ready with his group at the bottom of the mountain.

We turn around, head back up and head back down the mountain again... A group of bikes raced past us going way too fast. I had just exited a corner (they were about to enter). All of a sudden after they passed, I hear all hell on earth break lose of a crash.

We turn around and one of the guys was pinned in between the guardrail and his bike, sandwiched and totally stuck in the middle. On the other side was a typical Palomar dropoff... I don't know how big but you ain't surviving if you go over the edge. You're going to turn in a slinky.

We eventually pull the guy out and he's totally concussed with broken shoulder/arm. Otherwise he was fine.

Turns out, he didn't warm up his tires enough (race tires need to be warm) and had a low slide crash as soon as he hit his brakes.

The other crazy part what was when we got his helmet off, he was one of the mechanics that I brought my bike to! And I had just brought my bike in a few weeks before so I immediately recognized him.

fun times.

I almost had a high side accident after i locked both my brakes at midnight coming home from my girlfriends place. There was a notorious intersection with cameras in it that you came downhill to. And it was one of the intersections that has a shorter yellow lights than any other light, you know, just so they can get more tickets.

It was cold af outside and my visor was fogging, so I will not forget that moment speeding down at 60mph, hitting the yellow and realizing I wasn't going to make it, hitting the brakes, and seemingly locked up so bad I was doing 45 degree turns in both directions for a second or two before gaining control.
They don't care
Yes, the US healthcare profiteer-capitalism is fucked. But it's not employers fault.

I have no idea what the housing model proposed is. But everywhere else in the US that is mildly popular is ragingly expensive. If I can live in a great place affordably while making a solid paycheck for the future, that doesn't feel like a trap, that feels like a development course. Even if it doesn't last. The meanest thing we can say here is that the rest of the country can't compete, which again isn't the fault of those entities trying to make better.

Will there be a company store? I dunno. Is this a worthwhile dig or a trope, a regurgitation of past historic circumstance? We just spent a while talking about how companies will be desperate to lock employees in, golden handcuff them into never leaving... But now suddenly it's dark Zuckville & he's also nickel & dime scrooging over the employees? This no longer sounds like a viable Destination Company...

Will it be both too utopian and too dystopian all at once? Or is there one side of too much you'd wager for?

I absolutely think this could be shit & terrible. But this is a vacuous shitty useless historically-based drag that, but to me, fails any real analysis of the current situation, ignores the possibilities at hand, and just seeks to disabuse.
A proper wall box charges twice as fast as a plug in adapter. For cars with larger range this is likely to be a pretty significant difference (requires a full day to charge vs can charge overnight).
It has been a while since I have dug into it, but from what I remember it works roughly like this:

You login to iCloud which gives your device write access to iCloud storage. The device creates a private key inside the TPM, and uploads the public key. When you add a new device, one of your existing devices has to use its hardware key to sign your new devices key. It also must be signed by a second key derived from your iCloud password (so you). Apple doesn't go into the details on this, but I believe the originating TPM also signs the key with a chain of trust that goes back to Apple itself.

The keychain is encrypted locally and exported to iCloud. The key used to encrypt the keychain is also encrypted using the public keys of all trusted device keys in iCloud that have both a signature from another trusted device and from you.

As a user you can also just open up Keychain Access on a Mac and ask it to generate a CSV export of your entire iCloud keychain - which is how you would go about migrating to another password manager.
That is a very big omission.

Depends on the work you do and your age, I suppose. Also whether you touch type on a standard keyboard or not.

My work is made easier with large dual monitors and a nice standard keyboard. Squinting into a single small screen while mispressing all the laptop keys (because those characters commonly used for programming don't have a consistent spot in any laptop keyboard) is not my idea of fun.
What percent of users navigate explorer with a keyboard at all? I'd hate to lose keyboard selection over this. Ctrl and shift do different things and I use them both.
