Are you mixing up Clear and Global Entry? Clear only expedites domestic flights [EDIT: departures]. And it never let you skip security, just get to the front of the line.
Unveiling the Modern Computer
There are multiple platforms trying to provide this (neocities most prominently, mmm.page most recently, various others that occasionally get posted to HN). Of course, we don't need a platform; we need a culture, and infrastructure, and protocols, and some balance of organization and search. And have it all not sitting on Amazon's servers. And a way to pay for the parts people can't or won't provide for free.

I want to see it; I don't know the path there.
As far as I know CLEAR has never allowed you to skip the actual security check.
I figured I’d take a minute to try and find the proposal itself, so I could see what the proponents considered the virtues of this to be.

https://github.com/mozilla/standards-positions/issues/852
https://github.com/RupertBenWiser/Web-Environment-Integrity/...

I stopped reading after the explainer’s intro section. The first example is making it easier for websites to sell adds (lmao) and the other 3 are extremely questionable whether if the proposed remedy even helps. And it’s presented as a benevolent alternative to browser fingerprinting, as if we must choose between these two awful choices. It’s an absolute joke of a proposal.
Well I would like to use it. It’s code is mostly sane, easier to understand than glibc and it would make sense in a lot of places where performances are not critical. That’s why I am so annoyed by the non sense its developers keep pulling out. It’s an incomprehensible situation because they get absolutely nothing out of it. They are basically annoying people for the sake of it. It’s incredible that changes like the one we are commenting on which are just sanity being restored have to come from an evolution of the standard.
Important to note that the person who spoke at the conference is the alleged defector, the LG scientist who (it seems) is trying to make sure he gets 3rd position on the Nobel Prize and who rushed out the low quality paper. The "main body" of six researchers, including the most prestigious scientist involved, Dr Hyun Tak Kim, did not speak at that conference and have basically disavowed the alleged defector.
Yes. At the end of the day, people pay for solutions to problems (although sometimes they problem they are paying for a solution to isn't the stated problem, but that's a different issue). They don't pay for "AI" per-se. AI is just one potential means to an end. A solution that accomplishes the same goal without AI is, in principle, just as good. Maybe better.

Also consider that the world is bigger - a LOT bigger - than TechCrunch and ProductHunt. I'd challenge you to expand your thinking in terms of what option and mechanisms exist for marketing your product.

All of that said... to go back to my earlier statement about how the problem someone is paying for a solution to isn't always the stated problem: consider a hypothetical employee of Company A, who states they are looking for some software to optimize production of Marzelvanes. It may well be the case that there is a goal for the company to optimize Marzelvane production. But it's entirely possible that what this particular employee wants more is to be credited or acknowledged within the company for leading an important initiative, so they can (get promoted | get a bigger bonus | whatever). If you consider that possibility, and acknowledging that "sexiness" is a thing in tech, they may actually care as much, or more, about bringing in a "sexy, AI powered solution" than they do about simply "optimizing Marzelvane production at any cost." So yes, sometimes you do have to care about more than just solving the stated problem. Just something to keep in mind...
I'm not trying to understand it's "technical merits" but what exactly it is. Even experts on The Registry are quoted saying it's "nebulous".

So what exactly are we even talking about here? The idea of attestation or just this proposal or is it a Google thing? Does this compare to cloudflare private tokens or safetynet or are they completely different? If proposal goes through what does that functionally mean for browsers both ones based on chromium and ones not?

I don't know why it's so difficult to find these details and I'm instead being told to just accept the idea that the premise is unacceptable.
> I may have missed something but I couldn’t figure out how to get the multi-threaded performance out of Python

Multiprocessing. The answer is to use the python multiprocessing module, or to spin up multiple processes behind wsgi or whatever.

> Historically I’ve written several services that load up some big datastructure (10s or 100s of GB), then expose an HTTP API on top of it.

Use the python multiprocessing module. If you've already written it with the multithreading module, it is a drop in replacement. Your data structure will live in shared memory and can be accessed by all processes concurrently without incurring the wrath of the GIL.

Obviously this does not fix the issue of Python just being super slow in general. It just lets you max out all your CPU cores instead of having just one core at 100% all the time.
Social issues are a gimmie since most of them don’t have a legitimate harm to the people who are most vocally against progress in the first place. They’re drummed-up issues to turn out votes, like the endless parade of wars on LGBTQ folks (first anti homosexual laws, then DADT, gay marriage, adoption, now trans issues, etc). And those have always been the kinds of sops that rulers love to throw out to the public since they don’t affect anything.

The real issues are mostly financial, economic, or environmental justice issues that can’t be addressed by individual states. Even in the cases where it can be, like California air quality regs, it’s being eroded and rolled back anyway. But stuff like containing medical costs or single-payer medical/educational systems are not issues that can really be done by a state. The most you get is things like sales/property/income tax being shuffled around a bit, or californias bizarre prop 13.
Not to mention the CA could potentially, intentionally or not, leak keys and allow governments, hackers or other interested entities to decrypt traffic.

Centralising trust will always be a bad idea, regardless of context.
glibc also has some fun behavior that few people know about because (1) distributions have been patching it and nobody ever actually ran the upstream version and or (2) downstream software is papering it over:

They've always split calibration between the factory and the Apple Store when it came to replacement parts.

Some of the calibration offsets are device specific, so for a full calibration the unit as a hole needs to be calibrated.

Early on they did calibration in store with machines like these[0], but it caused too many issue.

In part because geniuses, like the one in question, like to draw conclusions based on incomplete data and as a consequence get overconfident in their ability repair and asses.

Where this confidence comes from is beyond me, because most of their work has been relegated to a paint by numbers process using tools that abstract as much as possible away, limiting critical thinking.
Ironically, the fuckups caused by this confidence, causes more to be abstracted away limiting the experience and knowledge they build up, and the more this is limited the more confident they get and so this Dunning–Kruger cycle goes on and on.

In any case, in part because of too many issues with these machines Apple has worked to move as much as the calibration process away to the factory, limiting the actions that are necessary in the Apple Store to using a special app nowadays[1].

Whatever the case, both the machines used back in the day and the app currently in use combine local data with remote data.

Information about factory calibration is looked up in a cloud database based on screen ID number, that calibration data is downloaded and combined with calibration data that is collected locally by running a special firmware to run some local calibration tests.

Everything is verified before being finalized and the part is married to the device via serial numbers, storing the relevant calibration data in the relevant sides of the equation (i.e. screen controller and device).

If at any point in the future there's a mismatch, the offsets (i.e. calibration data) is ignored entirely and no offsets are applied at all.

This serves a couple of purposes, but the important ones being the prevention of damage and a way to remind the person observing it (i.e. presumed to be the worker repairing it) that calibration is still necessary and/or has not been completed successfully.

Yes, let's build an open source community on top of a closed platform. It's not like twitter, reddit, Facebook etc have taught us anything.

Open a mailing list like every project that survives more than 5 years. Hell the barrier to entry will ensure you get people who can use a text editor and save you half the question of 'how do I install this on on an Intel a2 Mac???'

> a browser that can only visit websites that third party TLS CA corporations periodically approve

Er... no. It means that Firefox will only connect to websites that the domain administrator of the system approves of. You, as the administrator of a computer, can install whatever X.509 roots of trust you want. Including a root of trust you own, which can issue certificates for whatever websites you approve of.

Today, where there are residential users who can't get the attention of big companies, you'd probably then run a local forward-proxy that re-wraps connections to sites you trust, with certificates rooted in your root-of-trust.

But this is just a sociological evolution of the original design intent of X.509: where each corporate/institutional/etc domain would directly manage its own trust, acting as its own CA and making its own trust declarations about each site on the internet, granting each site it trusts a cert for that site to use when computers from that domain connect to it. Just like how client certs work — in reverse.

(How would that work? You'd configure your web server with a mapping from IP range to cert+privkey files. Made sense back when there was a 1:1 relationship between one class-A or class-B IP range, one Autonomous System, and one company/institution large enough to think of itself as its own ISP with its own "Internet safety" department.)

It's irrelevant, as I point out below. Armenian is not an Anatolian language despite it existing in the Anatolian region.

The Anatolian languages are all extinct, and Armenian has its origins out of the Yamnaya migration out of the steppe just like the rest of living Indo-European languages.

Armenian is Armenian, not related to Hittite, Luwian, etc. of the Bronze age in any way except as extremely distant cousins.
> we have such debate on the effects of single molecules

Most complex systems have simple limiters, almost by definition of the latter. You don’t need to solve fluid dynamics and combustion physics to understand that more air through a carburettor causes an internal combustion engine to run faster.

That is just math and does not account of what this would cause to the economy.

There is no right to remain silent in the United States. Courts can compel testimony.
based only on my memory, when computers started to get small enough to have power switches that I had access to, the power toggle switches were marked with 0 and 1, and no other appliances had that, so it was basically engineers of digital devices marking things with some combination of obvious logic and humor.

the on-off-merged-in-one-pushbutton 0 with a 1 at 12 oclock (in the circle of the 0) came later, I assume out of Europe (Asia?), because suddenly all at once everything had them, mid 90s I think. That was also the beginning of globalization (meaning, identical products sold everywhere) and also "on/off are advisories, not switches", which was probably all just coincidental timing.

(I don't think the 0/1 toggle computer power switch labelling somehow had more influence over Europeans or Asians than it did over Americans, but I dunno, engineers are pretty universal)

Got it, Epic-PLY is the playground version that comes with every Epic install. Sounds like they've restricted playground user roles as well, you'd need your hospital IT to change that in the playground environment.

There's a developer sandbox as well that's more feature rich but from what you're describing I doubt they would have enabled access for you although most hospitals do. I would ask someone in IT you know to either give you a superuser role in the playground or access to vendorservices.epic.com

I'm not sure how that addresses the point you're responding to: regardless of the excuse, WEI with fingerprinting is bad, and WEI without fingerprinting is also bad, and fingerprinting without WEI is also bad

doing bad things (for example, any of the 3 above options) is more irresponsible than implementing bad things poorly
The MX records for major email providers at the time (eg. Yahoo) didn't even fit into a UDP DNS packet back in 2002.

If that wealth wants to be used to do business in the US, there’s ways to tax it. If it sits in a cayman bank account somewhere fine but that’s not doing the owner any good, and its value will be eroded over time. Even if it’s used to do business elsewhere, we have ways of getting at that (see: FINRA) if the place you’re trying to use it wants to do business with any of our banks.

Maybe it’s different for the UK but they’ve always framed themselves as an economic mover, fundamentally not believing that there is something in the UK that business wants to access is a refutation of this idea of there being any domestic economic value in the UK as an institution.

What's funny is that even though the DGX GH200 is some of the most powerful hardware available, there's such a voracious demand that it's not gonna be enough to quench it. In fact, this is one of those cases where I think the demand will always outpace supply. Exciting stuff ahead.

I heard Elon say something interesting during the discussion/launch of xAI: "My prediction is that we will go from an extreme silicon shortage today, to probably a voltage-transformer shortage in about year, and then an electricity shortage in about a year, two years."

I'm not sure about the timeline, but it's an intriguing idea that soon the rate limiting resource will be electricity. I wonder how true that is and if we're prepared for that.

I’m of the same opinion. The author has no freaking clue. I broke my ankle in high school and I got zero support. All of the classes were on the third floor and the cafeteria was in the basement.

1. There was no elevator in the building. I had to use crutches to get up the stairs while carrying all of my textbooks.

2. I was required to attend gym class on the second floor of another building (no elevator) and change clothes in a room with no chairs or benches. Then I would sit in a chair while everyone did the assigned activities.

3. I was required to eat lunch in the cafeteria. I wasn’t given extra time. Occasionally there wouldn’t be enough food and I would get a single peanut butter sandwich while others had gone through the line twice before I got there.

4. I was late to every class and everyone watched me while the teacher waited for me to get to an assigned seat down a narrow isle.

5. I wasn’t given extra time to get to the bus after school. So I had to wait in detention for my mom to drive from work if I missed the bus.

6. Oh, I forgot, the second to last class of my day was on a different floor. So I had to go down and back up the stairs.

I forgot how many weeks this went on until I had a walking cast. The whole thing lasted 8 weeks.

The best part, I broke my ankle in gym class because I got tripped and knocked sideways during basketball. They called my mom to pick me up instead of calling an ambulance.

>This is a simple test for the moment that AI is able to make original contributions to our society: when can AI come up with a new thesis about numbers, and then build an original proof, something that can be published in the major, peer-reviewed math journals.

>Until AI can do that, we have to admit that it's not really aware or sentient or any of the other more ambitious things that have recently been claimed for it.

We have to admit no such thing, that is an absurdly high bar. The vast majority of humanity has not produced an original mathematical proof worthy of being published in a peer-reviewed math journal, and realistically it isn't possible for the vast majority of humanity to do so. Nevertheless, we are essentially all sentient/aware. "If it can't generate new and novel math that can pass peer review, it's not aware or sentient" is a moving of the goalposts so far and fast it should be giving you windburn.

> socialise with real people

I have some real-life, non-internet-based hobbies for which I come together with other people. All the rest of those people frequently talk about social media, online influencers, DRM-controlled streaming, and WhatsApp groups, and I’m the weirdo because I don’t follow any of that. In fact, it is socializing with real people that convinces me that the world will just go along with tech companies’ nefarious plans, and ultimately it may no longer be very feasible for us nerds to just drop out.
