I have been thinking about this quite intently lately, most things are inherently so complex that you by doing almost anything hit unknown unknowns, things that you don't know you don't know. But you don't need to know. You don't need to know what metallurgical structure a knife is in. It's just a knife.

I think the ability to make something that requires less domain knowledge to use than to make it is in fact the primary thing that moves us along as a species. And that the complexity that we hit when things go wrong is just the manifestation is the principal "there is a long was down to the bottom".
That's simply not true. Even if the underlying mechanism is the public-private key pair most owners do not use it with signing in mind.
GNU is a distraction here. In a decade or two there will probably be mainstream linux distros where all the GNU parts have been replaced by newer and better libraries (probably written in Rust). People say linux, but mean a linux system to which they have root access (or can phone up the sysadmin who does).

> The annotation idea is, simply put, bad.

It's definitely proved to be a bad business multiple times over, but I foolishly hold on to hope that it's a good a good idea. (Wikipedia might have some parallels.) Without a really low friction way to discover and contribute comments, it's definitely not going anywhere.
The person you're replying to is clearly talking about the portability of the private key material across multiple, heterogeneous clients - which webauthn doesn't touch.

Mojo [1]

Mojo is another approach to solving "the two-language problem," similar to what Julia is trying to do, but the code looks like Python. Mojo is being designed by Chris Lattner [2], who knows a thing or two about language & compiler design.

Subways have human operators for difference reasons not because trains cannot be fully automated. Some are partially automated because they run on old infrastructure which is difficult and expensive to revamp. Others are fully automated but regulations prohibit full autonomy, or labor is unionized and operators are guaranteed work. Automation is not AI anyway, automation today is done through control systems, that is sensors, some type of control like a PID loop (or more advanced Level 2 models) and devices that allow for controlled movement/positioning. There's no artificial intelligence there.

The top 20% of earners pay more taxes than the other 80% of earners combined.

This is due primarily to the total amount of their earnings rather than their tax rates.

It doesn't matter how many different things have support for passkeys. Because they let websites do "attestation" of them, it won't be long until every major website is only allowing logins with passkeys blessed by Microsoft, Apple, or Google.

I'm exhausted by single-process programming languages. I think it's totally not worth our time to care at all about this problem any more. We need to figure out how to build systems more broadly. We're stealing useful energy pretending like such a small subproblem still has actual distinction & interest.

There's a lot of different ways to make code. But at this point there's just so little evidence that languages engender interesting new capabilities. There's some flourishistic differences, but most code reads fairly the same, if you squint. Rust is by far one of the most interesting languages, and it's only interesting adds are... constraints. We need some new frontiers of possibility, not just constraint. Languages are not leading us to new potentials, these days.

Ask a random college freshman in computer science to write a backtracking sudoku solver with coroutines and/or fibers in their language of choice. Oof, only 1 out of 10 can do it...? I guess 9 out of 10 college freshmen aren't generally intelligent? (I mean, I certainly wasn't very intelligent as a college freshman, but I'm pretty sure that's not the way you're using that word here).

Anyways, these kinds of strawmen always baffle me in regards to AI.

Insert random pseudo trivia that most of the general population wouldn't be able to do, see the AI fail at that specific task. "What did I tell you? The AI definitely isn't generally intelligent yet!"

Everybody is out to prove AI isn't intelligent without first defining what intelligence even is. And when other people rightly point out it can do a lot of stuff, they point to some specific task that it gets 90% of the way there but doesn't get perfect and then triumphantly declare AI isn't intelligent. Crazy.
Edit: this is getting a lot of downvotes but it is important information. ChatGPT with GPT 4 ($20/month) is an artificial intelligence that can save hours of your time and help you debug things you couldn’t without it. It really understands code.

While I will take a 4 point karma hit from downvoters who don’t know how to use ChatGPT, this information is very important to share with all programmers.

>stochastic parrot

This is incorrect. In the context of learning JavaScript, ChatGPT with GPT 4 ($20/month) can analyze any error if you give it the error and the code, or you can just describe what’s wrong and give it the code you wrote and it will analyze it and tell you how to correct it, even if your code is the first time anyone has done that. It might take it two tries but it’ll figure it out. It obviously understands what you tell it and follows your instructions pretty well.

Limitations: the code you give it has to be small; ChatGPT doesn’t scale to larger codebases.

Second limitation: if you happen to be a world expert in something, then it might have trouble understanding - haha, just kidding: if you are the best human expert in the world, ChatGPT is still smarter than you and can still fix errors you can’t fix.

Rather than a stochastic parrot, it’s the best debugger on the planet.

In fairness you are correct that ChatGPT is unreliable.
The good news is you mostly don't have to support the graphics/sound/environments variations. If you test it on stock Ubuntu (and maybe SteamOS), it will probably work for almost all the noobs and everyone else can probably figure it out without much help.

This isn't the dunk you think it is since GP is a human (I presume), and he thought the solution worked.
> But the happy path is irrelevant.

Too strong of a statement imo. The password happy path is still a lot of friction every time you sign in, which is why everyone except banks sets their refresh cookie expiry to months or years. Not great, cookies don’t even live in the secure element. But if you torture people with typing passwords every day they won’t come back unless they have to.

> A password is simple: "keep this secret and only give it to the person it's for".

You’re missing the recovery path. That’s not obvious at all - usually a password reset through a side channel like email. In those cases, the email is your de-facto identity, and the password is like a refresh token that is stored in your brain.

Now, I’m not saying this is better with passkeys, just that there is more to password auth than meets the eye.

> Of these, the part I really worry about is the synchronization one: everything about passkeys is being structured for corporate lock in.

Me too. I think it depends a lot on the interop story. In the best future, we get something like a password manager standard, which interops with browsers and apps. Current password managers are well positioned to use passwordless auth. As a user, I could then use say Bitwarden on all my devices, and use passwordless as it comes available to more services.

But a lot of questions are still unresolved: what if I need to sign in from a public computer? Will account recovery still use email as last resort?

Sigh classic LLM -- without you, the expert, I can't quickly tell from the code / output how the answer the LLM produced is wrong. I also asked it to solve sudoku by "propagating constraints" and the answer seemed to work for me :/ Again, I'd guess the soln produced is wrong because I trust you more than the LLM but I don't have the mental horsepower to figure it out without resorting to tests & debugging.
It's weird isn't it!

The reverse of how we think it works from external observation alone.

It's totally normal to think they grow like nails, but only twice.
The original article gets into this at the end. It's easy to get into a cyclic argument here, where you posit a tool that can do "anything" and then try to derive consequences from that. What we don't know is what its actual capabilities will be, or how transformative those will be.

There's a prayer about knowing the difference between what you can do and what you can't, and setting aside the things you can't do to focus on what you can. To me, this seems like the right way to approach this.
It's not really an attitude. I get that legitimate orders go that direction too. It's a flag to check into the order further. Same for vacant-looking addresses, mail-shop boxes, and so on...many are legit orders, many aren't.

With credit card fraud, the merchant holds 100% of the liability. They lose the item they shipped, the shipping costs, the associated revenue, then some chargeback fees on top too. So, they check on things that could be fraud.

I'm sure they'll ship some off to Africa if they can't find any other options, but as you say they're competing against used clunkers from Europe, so the margins will be terrible.
Only during the first 2-4 times (and lessening each day) after having not flossed for a while.

After that, I never bleed during flossing. And I make sure to get it up between the gum and each tooth, so there’s a decent (but appropriate) amount of floss/gum friction.

> webauthn, as designed, can't be used to lock anybody into any authentication method

It only supports HTTP as I understand it, and won't work for other protocols like SMTP or IMAP.

What does work, regardless of application level protocol is using TLS certifications on both the client and server side in combination with a username and password for authentication.

For me, flossing causes bleeding during the first week. Afterwards, the bleeding stop and my sensitivity to temperature improves greatly. My halitosis goes away on most days, too.

My dental hygienist knows when I have been flossing and when I haven't.
I know my dentist sees cavities that he just lets be because they are not an issue.

It seems a lot in dentistry of what does or does not need to be done is subjective.
No. Quite the opposite. Everyone else is in an echo chamber telling them that AI is a cool fad, a toy that will never fully replace people, etc., when in reality AI is the most disruptive technology since the Internet, and the most dangerous technology since the atomic bomb.

I can't stop shaking my head whenever I read any article on AI written by non-tech journalists (and even many by tech journalists). AI is vastly more dangerous and more urgent than climate change, than Russia and China, than literally any other hot topic today, and it's being treated like a combination of a science fiction story and an entertainment tool.
I’d add another factor, safety (perceived or real). Most people are going to prefer a transfer to their car in a quiet suburban parking lot, than transferring to another form of transit in an urban city where there might be a high level of homelessness/vagrancy/drug use/ crime/harassment

Every time I start up a new JavaScript (well, TypeScript) project, I go through the usual routine.

Usually it's a front-end project, so I'll pick my framework. Usually React, although I've been wanting to try out Svelte.

Next my bundler, which used to be create-react-app, or some other Webpack wrapper. Today, Vite is the best choice because it works pretty well without much configuration, and it supports all of the major frameworks which is quite nice.

I'll be sure to install and configure the TypeScript compiler, which is usually copy-pasting from a template. I always make sure to target the latest well-supported version of JS and use ESM modules, because I like being on the bleeding edge.

Next up I setup linters -- eslint + prettier. They do a good job. I have to configure eslint so that it plays nice with Prettier, and I also have to configure eslint for TypeScript and add any other plugins that the project might need, e.g. those for React. I usually like to setup some kind of pre-commit hook to run Prettier and eslint before committing, which saves time.

Additionally, I always install my IDE extensions and try to create a .devcontainer file or add list of recommended extensions so that both myself and others can setup their IDEs in the future. I tend to not configure eslint much and just use off-the-shelf configurations because I don't care about the style, I just want consistency in the code and mistakes to be caught.

Next up I setup my unit tests, usually jest or vitest or similar. Lots more configuration for TypeScript and whatever, and also usually a set of eslint rules.

Then I want a CSS framework. I like tailwind, so I install that and styled-components and twin.macro so that it all works nicely with React. Fonts and icons are often needed too, so I install a plugin for Google Fonts and whatever font library.

Anyway, after about a day of doing the above I'm ready to program. Why is it so much work? Why isn't there something that just works for 90% of the use cases? So many people are using Vite + TypeScript + [React|Vue|Svelte] + [eslint|prettier] + [tailwind|bootstrap] + [jest|vitest]. Why isn't there some non-configurable library that just does everything for me?
WebAuthn has a specific feature called “attestation” where an app can only accept keys from a specific vendor as verified by vendor-provided signatures (that the user agent cannot forge). I personally doubt it will be used for this kind of lock in (it’s currently mostly used by companies for internal authentication so they can make sure you only use the brand of WebAuthn keys issued by them) but it’s not technically infeasible with the current standard.

If you want to see an outside of the box use of the attestation feature, take a look at Cloudflare’s “Cryptographic Attestation of Personhood” [1]. Basically they use the attestation key to tie the WebAuthn challenge to a real vendor, so if spammers make their own fake WebAuthn keys they can block them wholesale. I’m sure some Cloudflare skeptics will jump in and point out all the ways that could be abused.

Yeah, shady and definitely against the intention of GPLv2 at least, but... legal.
It's not ChatGPT what we should be putting in our forecasts, but its successors. And, from what I have been reading, our AI folk are coming with better performers all the time by chaining multiple neural networks, "making modular brains", so to speak. Any argument that starts by saying "ChatGPT is very bad at X, humans will always do X," is flawed IMO.

So I think that any job that can be done by a non-human is up for grabs, but for the sake of the argument, let's restrict it to manual jobs where being human doesn't matter. For example, a kitchen clerk at a burger joint doesn't need to be human, as long as it does all the tasks it needs to do and doesn't put anybody in danger. A security guard at an airport can be a machine gun with wheels, it is more intimidating that way. Picking up coffee cherries from a coffee tree can be done by a machine which is smart enough.

But assume that there are jobs "high in the ladder," for amazing engineers and creatives super-charged with AI powers. The problem is that not everybody can climb that ladder. And that's a problem we are already seeing. Right now, if you are highly qualified, you have no trouble getting a decent job. But if you are not, you are fighting for 10 USD/hour shifts somewhere. Imagine if 90% of those shifts are gone. Compound that with our social media (and AIs optimizing for engagement there in) making our kids a little dumber by stealing their attention for long periods of time.

It doesn't look good.
No, it's not.

Unless you count on-screen [FSD] visualization.
Yeah that’s my understanding and experience from watching our recruiting process. It all comes from the top level “strategy” sessions where they project a recession but fail to project for any amount of turnover.
... getting the job done is usually the first priority. wasted CPU cycles are comparatively cheap. just as experienced devs, who can write more optimized code are expensive.

of course if what the HTMX cult is chanting is true, then the best way to get the job done and save cycles is to skip as much of the frontend dev stuff as possible. (though this would probably lead to the problem of how to hire a dev versed in the occult.)
Not really.

AI -might- kill us if there is some quantum leap that makes it sentient.

Climate change -will- kill us if we do nothing.

For now one is simply not like the other, it may change but there is no guarantee we every breach that barrier.
There's research of the lab variety, and research of the library variety. It's valid to feel a sense of loss if all that remains for us is the library kind.
I think you are right, I'm not sure why it's there then.
Sorry, no. I saw a demo of a Xerox workstation at PARC in 1982, probably not that different from the demo Steve Jobs got. It was a lot more advanced than suggested by this article, which seems to miss that office applications were written on top of the system the article describes and provided much of the needed functionality. As a programmer you had a much worse interface, but the programs that had been written did the work. The Lisa end user experience wasn't that different from the Xerox Alto. The Mac made a lot of simplifications to make things smoother.

What sort of a mega pack business does Toyota have? What are the long term prospects for their Robot? What tech is Toyota going to sell to other car companies to make money?

These are some of the reasons Tesla is valued at what it is and Toyota is what IT is. Toyota has nothing exciting on the horizon that is going to dramatically change things for them.

Not to mention they make a pittance per car compared to Tesla.
