Can you, though? passkeys.io does not showcase this. The default assumption from every vendor is that you'll use their passkeys and they don't care about anything else. It's a very explicit silence, no "official" resource from any major vendor addresses cross-platform portability.

Yes, some individual implementers recognize the issue and have "log in with another device" (which is the best option you can have, although still quite clunky), so you can solve the chicken-and-egg problem of logging in on another platform's device to add your another platform's passkeys. But to best of my awareness, this is not a part of any standard or recommendation (it should've been).

And other implementers do the contrary and artificially limit your options so you can't add a portable authenticator with them without some hacking around.

I think people seriously underestimate how much of a struggle driving down the cost of compute/$ is going to be. Every incremental gain in memory and microprocessors is getting exponentially more expensive to develop. This is also a (relatively) high interest rate environment which do not tend to favour long term speculative investments. A lot of people aren't fully aware of how OpenAI and GitHub CoPilot are bleeding red ink from the get-go.

I honestly feel like people are really sleeping on the potential still. Most people I know tried it a few times around last Christmas and got bored with it and quit but I never stopped using it.
I can't seem to load this article, but I would like to offer this: I have long thought that the major effect of natural disasters is not the disaster itself, but the social unrest cause by the government not being able to cope. A super quake would be bad enough, but social unrest would make it much worse.
I think you can argue that the pervasive use of notebooks is close enough for learning at least, but it's not as good for real development. The edit-and-continue features in Visual Studio for C# (and similar feature in Java) is the closest non-lisp thing we have these days. The languages aren't made for it like lisp are though, you have to do full restarts all the time.

I still wish there was an environment more like Smalltalk for Python.

> This isn't really clear at all and there is plenty of evidence to the contrary. For example, consumer DNA testing pretty reliably agrees with self-reported genealogical claims.

The DNA testing is associating you with a cluster; that cluster could be any "size" and isn't based on specific patterns. (And it's fundamentally not causation; you can more or less move anywhere you want and have children with anyone you want.)

There's also a selection effect that they don't show you the clusters that they can't make work.

Also often not true; for fun, look at /r/23andMe for white people from Oklahoma and you'll see it's surprisingly common that their parents told them they were part Cherokee when they aren't even 1% native. Famously happened to Elizabeth Warren, but it's not just her.

Is there a good way to run native mobile app GUI tests with GitHub Actions?

Your last paragraph is the hype.

I haven’t seen any effective uses of the current AI tech that couldn’t have been done for the same cost by humans so far. Images, text, code; I haven’t seen anything but toys built yet. The coding tools might work okay for your average HTTP API, but it’s not going to develop novel algorithms to control building HVAC systems to reduce energy or demand, for example. It’s not going to code much more efficient search algorithms, or faster compression. Maybe someday, but so far everything produced by AI seems to have huge problems, whether it be drawing realistic hands, knowing the factual truth of certain questions, or introducing subtle bugs in complex code.

Also you're perpetual quoting of the rule book under the guise of "here's our credo" doesn't accomplish anything because it doesn't clarify what rule was broken (and just serves to obscure the censure under "we don't like your kind around here").

That's not actually the case in many places in the US, they were forcibly taken for cars in the same way electric streetcar systems were taken from us:

> Before the American city could be physically reconstructed to accommodate automobiles, its streets had to be socially reconstructed as places where cars belong [..] Until then, streets were regarded as public spaces, where practices that endangered or obstructed others (including pedestrians) were disreputable. Motorists’ claim to street space was therefore fragile, subject to restrictions that threatened to negate the advantages of car ownership.

Re. transformer "attention". Might this not be a higher-level function? i mean it could be both but for example, monitoring and being alert to outside stimulus might be a higher level trait.

There might be language base separately from incoming streams.

Well, this was already pointed out a long time ago during the peak hype of AI earlier this year. Something about we overhype the effect of the technology in the short term and underestimate the impact long term.

One thing that is undeniable is that AIs have actual productive use cases. Some of the previous fads did not actually have any major real applications even years after its introduction. Meanwhile, AI technology, specifically the transformer tech, has already revolutionized biotech, art, and NLP fields. Even if all progress on AI hit a stop today, people will still use alphafold, diffusion, and chatgpt for their intended purposes. So I am sure we can agree that AI isn't going down the road of things like NFT or bitcoins.

Next few years would be the optimization and mass adoption steps. Big tech companies are probably plucking all the low hanging fruit already. The hard parts are probably what make it more useful, i.e. cheaper and in a format that can be used easily. Those take time, but 15 years ago, I would be dreaming if I think I can play Crysis on a handheld device. Now I can for a measly $400. So in the next 10 years, it isn't impossible to have something on the level of chatgpt running in real time on something like a phone or smartglass.

And that is discounting the possibility of any major breakthrough or genius application like the GUI to computer interface or the iphone to personal computer. Something like that can pop up and change the world as we know it.
So cool to see the web reader of archive.org in use on another site besides mine[1]. Also neat how this bridge between the two topics of archaic language and slang is the same one that I cover in my viral tiktok[2], which retells ancient stories traditionally associated with archaic language but in modern slang. There's really nothing about slang that makes it less official than less informal language. Dictionaries don't define language but document its usage. And universities don't define language but study it.

I tried to improve at presentations for a while. Now I basically just don't agree to do those or similar tasks. It might limit my career advancement a little, but really us software engineers make enough already, we don't need to torment ourselves by performing for people for more money. Forget "leadership" and advancement and do the parts of the job we enjoy and are actually good at.

My bet is that most cities won't adopt them since the powers that be use traffic as a chance to advertise their town's offerings. Why speed that up?
In the preface you list:

> I think we're well past the point where phones can't play "real games". If you don't want to do that in lieu of preserving battery, that's understandable. But at this point mobile has usurped what we used to called handheld gaming.

Nah. Anyone gaming seriously will still take a Switch because even if their phone theoretically has more horsepower, in practice it's just not as good a gaming platform.

> I'd hope by now we'd dig deeper and ask questions like "why isn't there a steam for IOS/android"? The answer is obvious for IOS and I hope future regulations help to allow alternative stores, but android seemed like a very obvious void for years.

Amazon ran an alternative app store for a while, and were pushing the gaming angle on it pretty heavily, but they got rid of it. I don't know exactly why, but my naive explanation would be that no-one was spending money there because mobile games are bad and not worth paying for (or perhaps just that it's a lemon market and while there are good proper games on mobile it's impossible to distinguish them from the bad ones until you've bought it).
How about alphafold? Prior usage requires quite literally weeks to months on supercomputers with results often not so comparable with the X ray crystallography.

Or the use of AI for real time upscaling that can be done in real time on low to medium GPU.

I think you only see chat gpt which don have its own draw back, but AI does not equal gpt, does not even has to be generative.
Depends on how hard you are prepared to cut the cost.

If you're designing for cheap LEDs, then it might be up to 80% of the cost. But it's worth it because even cheap trash LEDs will last tens of years.

If you go for good nice LEDs then maybe 50%. This would be indestructible, but it will cost you.

> struggle driving down the cost of compute/$

Actually I feel that utilization of existing hardware is very poor.

For instance, in LLM land, continuous batching is a thing that just starting to proliferate (at least in open source). Many are still doing training/inference in vanilla pipes in PyTorch eager mode, without even a simple `torch.compile` or aggressive quantization, much less a more advanced ML compiler. Architecture optimizations beyond llama's base architecture (like newer attention schemes used during training) are not really picked up yet.

I can go on and on, and go on about Stable Diffusion as well, but what I am saying is there is tons of unpicked low hanging fruit, that's unexploited because... everyone is in a rush to just publish or deploy something, I guess?

Also, Nvidia's margins are insane. The voltage/clock band they run in is insanely inefficient. I hope that is not sustainable, because sane margins/clocks with no code/hardware advancement would bring costs down a ton.

Even if I accept your description of the problem for the sake of argument (I actually don't think you're correctly describing the actual facts), why is universal basic income needed for this? And how does it avoid the obvious problem of increasing these same problems by reducing people's incentive to produce goods and services?

Apple and Google do not quickly fix things when users have no alternative in my experience.

My understanding is that Passkeys are transferrable, unlike earlier efforts. See for example this iOS help page: https://support.apple.com/guide/iphone/passkeys-passwords-de...

Unless you store the passkey in a hardware Fido key like a Yubikey. Then the way to transfer it is to physically carry the key and plug it to another device.
Isn't it?

Take Cyberpunk 2077 for instance, it was leaked not long after it's launch; most people (even here) called it trash and gave up on it due to the bugs. Then after grinding away at it for 2+ years CDPR just sold more than 25 million copies after the last expansion. [0] That is ~25% of it its total sales.

While it's unlikely to determine exactly how much of an effect it had, it certainly wasn't zero. Consider also the massive community modders had greater access and CDPR garnered lots of new info (and code) from this source.

It maybe its a niche to the communities I've been around, be it in tech/games/music, but this a norm not an exception. Paywalled/DLC BS is a recent phenomon and its entirely off-putting, I didn't get PL this time around (I just don't have time to game) I did like how much of an impact it has made not just for the game, but the genre itself.

I considered graphql recently and selected against it. I am not saying graphql is bad, but it was not as good for our situation.

Graphql is really suited for aggregating disparate data sources and making them look unified. You dont need to use ot that way, but that is the main value prop.

The downsides that killed it for us was that performance characteristics seemed less clear, and ever replacing it would be a nightmare due to its unstructured usage.

Things that were simple in REST (like rate limiting, capacity planning, authorization) seemed more difficult, and we didn't need the killer feature of it.

It is an interesting tech, but you are probably better off starting with REST and adopt gql on top afterward if you need it.
Well, that's a long a twisty route...

I was originally watching videos from a guy who goes hiking further north in BC. From there, I searched for similar videos in WA.

Assuming a million users, this is what 20 million? A rounding error to Microsoft. The only question that matters is given enough scale will CoPilot become profitable. My guess is yes, they need to batch thousands of requests and send it through the transformer at the same time to pull down costs. Currently the scale may not be enough but I can imagine it at some point reaching there.

I'm just saying that "thinking" is a well-defined class of related things that only animals do.

I would argue expanding the definition to include the kind of things that semiconductors do really dilutes the meaning of "thinking" to be near meaningless.

Maybe to put it succinctly - no computer has ever done anything without a human input (even if it's millions of layers abstracted), but thinking just happens spontaneously.

If that's not a sufficient condition to differentiate 'thinking' from 'calculating,' then IDK what 'thinking' even means then.
That wouldn't be interoperable.

Lots of frameworks already have the ability to set properties on elements declaratively in templates. By using setters we work with their data binding system without hanging to teach them about Lit-specific APIs.

A human could get a valid end state most of the time, gpt-4 seems to mess up more than it got it right based on the examples posted here. So to me it seems like gpt-4 is worse than humans.

The fundamental idea of using asymmetric cryptography to authenticate is good. It is time-proven, and it works in the best interests of users, simultaneously providing improved security. SSH just works (and while it typically lacks fancy UIs for key management, it's irrelevant to the core idea).

The passkeys design, though, has a number of obvious deficiencies and limitations. It is drastically better than ye olde <input type="password" /> but it's not a good standard.

The other alternative is SRP, but no browser vendor had bothered to do anything about this, so it remains a curiosity implemented on a couple websites (with all JS crypto gotchas, so - no good).

Even if there are stateful workloads, one has to be prepared to migrate at some point. Nodes can crash, become unreachable, etc. - workloads have to be able to survive such events.

That is because you are comparing it to the cost of a professional.

I personally look at it in a different way. Now, a rando on the street knowing nothing about everything can pop out arts rivaling an experienced illustrator. A completely clueless wet lab scientist can coerce copilot or GPT4 to cobble together an automated data analysis pipeline in a language that they know nothing about.

To a professional, those applications are toys, easily made and take little effort. But to someone who does not know anything about the work, it is amazingly useful and open up many possibilities. That is the power and the use cases for AI right now. They are tools to augment productivity, not replacing it. And in that regard, it is very successful imo.

Whether it will progress to the point where it can outright handle everything from start to finish or not is another question.
