It has been more almost 30 years now, multiple generations of devices (and OS'es) have happened. If the only problem was low-level network stack support, it would have been fixed.

There is nothing impossible about designing compatible system, if the compatibility is your goal. Let's think about "simple address expansion" - there is a "IP-long" ethertype which is used with IP addresses longer than 32 bits; and all code is structured such that if IP address fits in 32 bits, then old IPv4 packets are used. All apps are hardcoded to use a single address family (IP-long), but as if you are running in IPv4-compat mode, only last 32 bits of address would be nonzero.

ARP has PTYPE field, and arbitrary address length already. It could have worked with "IP-long" schema with minor changes (for example to send parallel requests for compatibility). We could have IP-long capable devices operating in IPv4 compat mode for years.. until one day the assigned address changes to be longer than 32 bits and now the new protocol is in effect. Since majority of kernel code would be the same for IPv4 and IP-long packets, there was a good chance it would "just work".

Sadly, this cannot happen with IPv6, because they made an explicit decision to break compatibility, and so they got rid if ARP. Note there was nothing "fundamental" that required they did so, they just didn't like it.

For DHCP, we could have an all-new option, "client supports IP-long". Old DCHP servers would ignore it and return regular IPv4 address. New DHCP servers would return IP-long allocation to supported clients, and could optionally return "compat" record to IPv4-only clients (possibly with packet-translating gateway). We could have a network where you can mix and match clients, and enabling longer address would be as simple as creating a new private IP pool in the DHCP config with longer IP addresses.

Sadly, this cannot happen with IPv6, because they made an explicit decision to break compatibility, and so they made a different IP allocation mechanism. And also NATs are heavily deprecated so "create a new private IP pool" makes no sense either. Note there was nothing "fundamental" that required new addressing mechanism, IPv6 designers just wanted to start from scratch.

DNS actually works pretty well, obviously you'd want another record type for IP-long addresses but adding new record type is a known process. The only reason DNS is hard under IPv6 is because of "happy eyeballs" and all the non-working IPv6 deployments.

ICMP could use the same treatment as ARP, that is has IPv4-comaptible versions and "long" versions for long addresses. We could have a single ICMP stack in the kernel and all the tools, with the only long-aware changes being in network packet decoding code.

Sadly, this cannot happen with IPv6, because they made an explicit decision to break compatibility, and so they stuffed all sorts of things into ICMP protocol (ARP, IGMP, etc...).
Thank you for referencing Girard!

Agreed that this is a compelling hypothesis

Have you looked through “A thousand plateaus” from Deleuze/Guattari (I don’t know anyone who has actually read the whole thing)?
Back to the US, but an example people might not know/think of -- the NYC subway system. It's all run by the Metropolitan Transit Agency (MTA) now, but originally there were separate, competing subway companies[1, 2, 3]. That's why some lines are letters, and some numbers, and why switching between these often feels surprisingly long and/or complex.

Ah -- should have continued reading comments, I see
marc__1 already posted about this.
I don't want to make any real assertions but my intuitive reaction to this comment is _this person has no clue what they are talking about_. I would rather turn of syntax highlighting than turn off Copilot and I'd rather disable Google search rather than ChatGPT. And frankly, it's not even close, I use these tools "all the time for everything".
No, it's fair -- they're actively disinterested in patches that improve performance.
Both false-positives are as useful as the other one, flagged "human" but actually "LLM" vs flagged "LLM" but actually "human". As long as no one put too much weight on the result, no harm would have been done, in either case. But clearly, people can't stay away from jumping to conclusions based on what a simple-but-incorrect tool says.
Given how long it took my bank to launch a mobile app I think I have a few decades before they implement this tech.
There is one part in that article that I cant understand. It says:

> ...when flight attendants opened the rear emergency exits, they found that the tail was so high in the air that the slides didn’t touch the ground. Sliding down them was less like schoolyard fun and more like jumping off the second or third floor of a building

But then it proceeds showing a photo of deployed rear exit slides, and judging by human standing there they almost touched the ground, the difference is like half that human at most. Now, while I agree that jumping from 1 meter may be too much for some people, comparing it with 3rd floor jump is totally out of place. What am I missing here?

One of the cool things I saw on BBSes back in the day - that I have yet to see replicated - was 'real time chat' in telechat, or being able to see what the other person is typing out as they enter it on their keyboard. It was captivating and made it really feel like an intimate conversation with another person. That could have just been the novelty of it all, as well... ICQ had a similar feature IIRC?.

I have a genuine question: why is this worse than normal captchas which the human must interact with directly? Or is any mechanism that attempts to prevent certain methods of “unattested” web access (e.g. curl or screen readers) bad for the same reasons?

And if the answer to the second question is “yes,” it makes me wonder why we’re even okay with (non-personal) content in the web being login-walled or pay-walled.
I remember in my late teens, working as a temp... literally looking up individual accounts from a "past due" report to make sure they were still past due before they received a call from collections dept. Why, because paying a temp was literally less expensive than re-running the report on the mainframe.

So the attacker in this scenario is producing my hardware? That sounds ridiculous, if that were the case they could do anything they want anyways, I see no way in which the scenario you've discussed is materially different from "attacker can literally do anything anyway, they own the hardware".

And this "attacker" gets... what? Nothing. Because this isn't an attacker... it's a device manufacturer. You've described how attestation works except you've described the TPM as an attacker, which is silly.
So there's one, probably. Where are the "many" mentioned above?

Here's a decent paper on it.

It covers private watermarking (you can't detect it exists without a key), resistance to modifications, etc. Essentially you wouldn't know it was there and you can't make simple modifications to fool it.

OpenAI could already be doing this, and they could be watermarking with your account ID if they wanted to.

I ran into a similar problem with my mangopi mq pro (c906). On the latest version of ubuntu server the clock frequency was somehow ~3x slower [1]. The Lichee PiA4 is based on the C910 iirc, so maybe it's the same problem. I resolved the issue by staying on an older build for now.

Seems like you didn't read even the first line as this article is directed at people already using Elixir who are currently doing ML stuff with Python.
But websites don't care about government-issued IDs. They have their own IDs, and to create those you have to fill out a form. If the form is successfully rate limited then the cost and speed at which fake IDs can be created gets prohibitive even for governments, unless you think they only need a small number of accounts.

> NewTek founder Tim Jenison

That's it! I was struggling to remember his name. Just around the time of the Video Toaster, I was working at a small company in CT called Colorware. Tim Jenison wrote a Mac Paint clone for the Tandy/RS Color Computer II called CoCoMax. We bought the rights to it and paid him royalties on each sale. He made bank, IIRC! Soon after that, he created the Video Toaster and the rest is history.

I remember my co-worker saying that with the success of the Video Toaster, Tim had moved on from collecting cars to collecting airplanes.
In practice we depend on attestation via federated login and a series of captchas for some indicator of humanness for services that are freely available to avoid significant abuse and attacks.

With captchas no longer being practical there is some need of federated attested value of a network actor?

Maybe there is a use for Blockchain after all :P to anonymously bucket human actions like buying something or device registration chain sourced from manufacturer or cell phone service provider in such a way that it has a short TTL and has to be regularly revalidated.

It need not be perfect but we are entering new territory with LLMs that can easily represent human agency short of some web of trust or signed identity mapped back to something.

mutate_with is still lazy and therefore you can't transform it. If you need to use transform, then you need to do:

This is a perfect example of the swiss-cheese model of accident causation. If any of the following were different there would not have been an issue: the fuel gauge was working, the pilot or co-pilot caught the fueling error, or the aircraft was grounded due to the fuel gauge being inoperative.
Good. If it is not reliable, it's a further harm than good if it exists as a false security.

An analogous example: my local pizza delivery (where I worked) would shut the box with a safety sticker, to avoid tampering / dipping by the delivery boys. Now, sometimes they would forget to do this for various logistical reasons. Every one of the non-stickered ones started getting returned as customers worried a pepperoni stolen. They stopped doing it shortly after.

Banks might not, but the governments may come to a similar idea, and tell the banks to tell you.
At some point we just have to be okay with that. Threats and protests and complaints don't matter unless we back it up with something. If that means upgrading/repairing older devices instead of new ones, or not using web services that require DRM nonsense, then so be it.

Pigouvian taxes are the best taxes. Externalities? Those cost money now! Want less of a behaviour? Put a tax on it! Want to reduce your tax burden? Do less of the bad thing!

"But I don't want to stop doing the bad thing!" That's fine! You can keep doing it. It just costs money now.

"But that's unfair!" Is it? The societal goal is to reduce the bad thing. We don't want to ban it outright, and some kind of regulatory framework sounds complicated and expensive. This is the easiest and cheapest (from the government's perspective) way of reducing the bad thing.

"People are going to just keep doing the bad thing anyway!" What an opportunity to raise the price! Sounds like extra money for roads, schools, and parks. Or maybe a chance to reduce reliance on other taxes.

A possible difference between private access tokens and the web integrity proposal is the idea of “holdback” which means that for some reasons chosen at random it would fail to work, and any websites that use it would be forced to have alternative fallback mechanisms.

Why bother, then? This is for things like captchas and credit card risk scores. It’s useful to be able to know that some users are low risk (not a bot, not being phished) and then to have additional verification for others.

It’s listed under “open questions” but I think it would go a long way towards preserving an open web.

IMO we've had a version of this fork for several years now, though it was more at the social layer. I've imagined it as a social super-structure of the internet, basically a bubble that represents "society". Microversions of it have existed since the 90's but really came to fruition with the rise of social media (myspace, facebook, twitter, etc). I don't think it's a coincidence that "cancel culture" came soon after, because once you have a virtualized public sphere, it's now a matter of deciding who/what belongs.

> The best you can do is to highlight how bad sugar is to health in general, and hope it influences people to change their habits

We've been trying that for years and it's clearly not working. Obesity, diabetes, pre-diabetes, heart disease, diseases of chronic inflammation, etc are all at epidemic levels.

Humans aren't perfect automatons that will make perfect choices if given information. We develop addictions, we prioritize the short-term over the long-term, we get tired and choose what's easy and available.

We should align incentives to better outcomes. We restrict alcohol and nicotine and opioids. Taking steps to reduce the societal harm of sugar is a good thing for society.
