That's not the same as saying ARM processors are obscure. You've probably got at least a dozen of them in your house right now if not several on your person.
Has a lemonade stand violation ever resulted in a jury trial in the US? I'm skeptical. In places that enforce those rules, usually what happens is that the cops tell the parent it isn't allowed, the kid shuts it down and there's no fine.
> the moonshot model combines mathematical advances with large-scale computing to solve the “curse of dimensionality” commonly found in quantum computing problems.

Had to stop reading at the point. The curse of dimensionality is, in fact, completely independent from any sense of "quantum" computing problems. Given that their understanding of the CoD is so poor, I can only assume the author has an equally poor understanding of everything else they are writing about.
Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't it fair to say that passkeys secured on your phone are more secure than 1FA (password) but less secure than "traditional" 2FA?

Passkey 2FA: unlock your phone and the passkey on your phone can log you in.

Traditional 2FA: remember a password AND unlock your phone (where your TOTP is stored) and you can login

If I were to rate all 3 methods on a scale of 1 to 10, for convenience and security, I'd say:

Method Convenience Security

Password only: 4/10 2/10

Passkey 2FA: 9/10 8/10

Traditional 2FA: 6/10 9/10

Fair?

What’s your stack? I’d love to see your resume. I’m not hiring but I/HN community may have some constructive feedback. The market is slowed but not that slowed. My first thought is you’re in a stack that doesn’t have a lot of openings anyway, like Ruby or Swift.
I also think that for sign-ups you still need a password for a while (simply as a fallback)

A1: If you're authenticating to Google because your $DAYJOB mandates it, contact your Enterprise Administrator. As part of their multi-gazillion deal with the dark side, I'm sure there is some kind of support for a recovery mechanism, and if there isn't: yeah paid holiday until they figure it out!

It does get paid in full at the maturity. It's just that the governments rollover the debt by selling new debt.

Indeed; we had promotional credits from Amazon so tried it out on a movie my son wanted to watch. If there was colorbanding and macroblocking as bad as what we watched in an encode from the IRC release group I used to participate in, the release would have not passed QC. Though to be fair, the details in low-motion scenes were far better because there's only so much you can do with a 480P TS.

In general, the levels of security that people will increasingly need going forward, and the increasing requirement by companies to use that level of security, will be a usability pain for many people and a nightmare for at least a subset.
It's encrypted across the cable itself, the capture card wouldn't be able to understand the signal.

> Whisky is built on top of CrossOver 22.1.1, and Apple's own Game Porting Toolkit.

Oh, this is so sick—I didn't know that anything that used the Game Porting Toolkit as something better than a developer tool existed yet. I'm going to make use of this.

I have a M2 Pro Mac Studio as my primary computer, and I tend to use steam's streaming from my gaming PC to my mac for casual gaming, but there are sometimes I just want to natively run a game that isn't supported in macOS or streams quite poorly with Steam's streaming.

(Why is my setup the way that it is? My gaming PC is in the garage—primarily to have a big VR playspace—and on early mornings it can just be too cold in there.)

I can’t speak for google, but in common parlance, mitigation simply means the problem isn’t affecting you any more. Doubtless they will perform a full post-mortem, identify the contributing factors, and fix them over the coming days, weeks, quarters.

Edit: “we are assessing its effectiveness” lol, yeah that sounds more like they they are throwing something at the wall to see if it sticks.
Tangential. This is a cool project. But I notice how many projects similar to this one make it hard to find that out. The landing page says:

> Wayfire is a wayland compositor based on wlroots. It aims to create a customizable, extendable and lightweight environment without sacrificing its appearance.

Now a visitor should know what "wayland" is, and then what a "wayland compositor" is, and only then can they decide if the project is interesting. The description assumes this knowledge, but many people will not take the time to figure it out and just surf to the next interesting thing. Opportunity missed.
"This person" makes rather relevant comment on Spring boot's severe shortcomings.

Whereas your comment from throwaway account is blabbering nonsense.
Since the US exports terrorism and instability across the Global South, I support wholeheartedly a balanced budget aimed at eliminating most if not all debt because it would necessitate decreasing the military budget; having expressed that wishful statement, we all know that will never happen.

With my accelerationist viewpoint, the continued debt explosion could neuter American military intervention thousands of miles off its coasts in the endgame; but that would require some sort of collapse where I probably, an unwilling funder of the American military, would also suffer - but that is ok if it means stopping the killings abroad.

I think the debt explosion, assuming infinite and stable growth, is on purpose: it creates forever wars that we citizens have no say in. And as a result, the debt will continue to balloon forever.
I mean you could have made a similar argument about the productivity benefits of smoking cigarettes 100 years ago. Just because a lot of people are doing something doesn't mean it's valuable or that we have an accurate picture of the cost/benefits. The verdict is still very much out on LLMs.
Thats a really good idea!
Then you misunderstand my comment. The point is not to say we shouldn't try, the point is that we need to get real about what needs to be done. If we approach everything from "How do we fix this without inconveniencing ourselves, because we're the most important thing on this planet?" then we are screwed.
> You seem to be assuming that circadian rhythms are driven by some stable 24h/cycle oscillator, with an offset that can be changed with some effort, whether self-directed or in response to environment changes.

I don’t know how you got that out of what I said above, but FWIW, Wikipedia does say that in order to call something a Circadian rhythm, it must be a cycle of about 24 hours, and it must be resettable [1], which seems to match your assumptions about my assumptions exactly... your description appears to fit the definition of Circadian rhythm almost exactly, you’re only missing the bit about temperature compensation.

> if that was the case, international travel would be a chore - you’d probably be back home before you finished adjusting.

I totally don’t understand what you’re saying here. Jet lag is pretty well understood, no? It takes a few days to adjust, and they you’re fine. If you fly home after a day or two, yeah, you’re home before your Circadian rhythm got reset. If you stay a week or more, and you’d be fine overseas and then have to reset again when you get home. It’s widely agreed that jet lag does make international travel a bit of a chore, no?

I mostly assume that the minute people start talking about Circadian rhythms, we’re probably in the arena of pseudoscience. I’ve just noticed over time that invocations of Circadian rhythms get used incorrectly a lot to justify bogus arguments, like with daylight saving time, for example, with claims that humans can be out of sync with their rhythms for months and months. That’s not true according to Wikipedia’s definition, because Circadian rhythms must also be able to be “reset by exposure to external stimuli (such as light and heat).” [1] And the reset generally takes at most a few days for most people. [2] The ‘sleep foundation’ article above certainly loses credibility by mentioning Circadian rhythms and then launching into the ‘what’s your spirit animal’ personality quiz blogspam fad.

I don’t know what evidence there is for an offset that changes when traveling but can’t change when staying put, or that it’s genetic. Do you have links to any? There’s a metric ton of evidence that superficially seems to counter that idea, because humans adapt and change sleep schedules all the time, they respond to light therapy, etc.

Look I’m generally a night owl too, and left to my own devices I wake up late and go to sleep late. I have absolutely no doubt that it’s very difficult for some people to change though, I’m not suggesting it’s easy. But - have you ever tried camping outdoors for a week or more? It’s quite surprising to me how fast I adjust to waking up with the sun. Try it! There’s also loads of evidence that people have a hard time changing any habits, and that use of electronic screens and artificial lighting mess with our sleep schedules, and that jobs and life stress can as well. We have to rule all those effects out first before saying it can’t be changed, and those are really hard to rule out, no?

Brute forcing offline kinda only works if you have a stolen hash or artifact like that. For a service like Google, they definitely have rate limits on password attempts.

I'm not saying I prefer either one here, just that password authentication doesn't automatically mean you can brute force offline.
I'm a bit confused These statements seem to contradict themselves?

The only time the GP is false is when companies are reinvesting profits in a way that makes it look like costs. (GP said profits are more important)

> It couldn’t be determined whether the crypto they received was directly used to finance the assault.

Wouldn't this be relatively trivial? Everything is tracked on a blockchain, if it's still sitting in the wallet of Hammas, one could assume those assets weren't used as either they would have been transferred either to another party as payment, or transferred in order to exchange it to USD or whatever.

> Israeli police said Tuesday that they froze further crypto accounts used by Hamas to solicit donations on social networks

Not sure how big Hamas' IT operation is, but if they had at least some clue about cryptocurrency, they wouldn't keep their wallets on a exchange that Israeli police could seize, or I don't understand how it got seized.
And it's so incredibly dumb. Companies need to get it through their thick heads that this is so incredibly short-sighted.

Not once has a status page that's devoid of information or slow to update ever saved face. I am far more annoyed to have to continue to verify "no, it is indeed that your service is down, not mine" and then file a support ticket. I am triply annoyed if the response from support is "ah yes that's a known problem and we're working on it" — known, and you just didn't bother to communicate.

I miss the days when Github had graphs. Even if they simply hadn't had the time to put a message on the page, you could tell from the graphs that it was Github. But even with "more information" that some PM might not like being put out publicly, Github felt more reliable & stable in those days.

At the end of the day, no amount of political gamesmanship will save you from having to actually run a reliable service, and gamesmanship just makes it more likely I'll ascribe false positives to your service, further lowering my perception of its reliability.

It's so watered down that the "AWS" emoji in our Slack instance is literally a meme of the status page.
My gut instinct is that this is a nation-state initiated.
Yeah, at the moment, unfortunately only works for Go.

But implementing a different backend (e.g. llvm-symbolizer, objdump etc.) shouldn't be too difficult. The main things it needs to do are 1. list the decompilable symbols in the file, 2. disassemble and pull in the relevant source code.

The UI part doesn't care whether it's Go or not.

> Social Media sites curate what people see based on their personality profile

Depends on whether you use the algorithmic feeds or not. I have to mentally resist the temptation to browse Twitter's 'For You' section, and I would much rather use their lists feature, where I can browse what actually interests me instead of reading what the Kardashians are up to now, or some gore-fest about the Russo-Ukraine war in my feed.
The implication is that the creator made the media for enjoyment and not for study, therefore if you're not enjoying it you can't be infringing on copyright. I can see how that was not clear in my statement.

Because part of OpenAI's argument seems to be based on the intent of the creator on how the media is to be consumed. Which doesn't matter.
Someone has to go and add the filtering. Nowadays (or maybe since ten years ago) most ISPs have the filter, but not the last 1% (or maybe 0.01%).
The quote from the article says "more than 1.5 million people have used it and it is helping build nearly half of Copilot users’ code"

Not a native speaker, but to me this sounds much more ambiguous than up to 50% of code is produced by Copilot.

Also, how different from previous solutions is this actually? I use autocomplete and code snippets extensively. Never measured it , but I wouldn't be surprised if my IDE had generated more source code than I myself typed over the last 10 or so years.
Part of why I like CS so much vs modern 'live service' games is that I can play whenever I feel like it and I never feel like I'm missing out on something happening, and when I come back after not playing for weeks or months, everything's the way it was when I left.
Well that supports my point actually, that these "short comings" aren't short comings at all if one takes the time to learn the framework. Blabbering? People often say that who have no valid technical or intellectual response.
> it would necessitate decreasing the military budget

I doubt it would lead to significant military cuts. Entitlements seem much more likely.
The difference is that these 3 companies already have a market, Apple doesn't even bother trying to convince people to get games on the platform, other than iOS. I don't think they care about gaming on macs at all.

Hottake here:

The biggest mistake that the passkeys movement did is try to make it sound more marketable at the cost of oversimplification.

First up, these aren’t really “no password” mechanisms. They’re closer to ssh certificates. You need to authenticate through some other mechanism and then agree to do the equivalent of creating and installing ssh certificates on your device.

The ssh certificates get synchronized across your devices securely by your cloud provider. But they can never serve as the primary authentication mechanism - that will still have to be a traditional authentication mechanism.

It’s mildly infuriating that someone decided to take this simple idea and confuse the fuck out of everyone by positioning it as some alternative to a password based authentication mechanism. Obviously everyone is going to come and ask a ton of questions about how a mechanism without any passwords should work. And then the responses further confuse everyone because they don’t want to admit “no actually you still need passwords”

Well they are economists...
Yes, I used to do that for my teams. Most infra vendors have RSS feeds for their public status pages.
I have found it surprisingly good at some pretty sophisticated “grunt work”. For example, I’m converting some code to TypeScript. Looking at a long and twisty “getSomething” JavaScript function that builds up an object one field at a time, it can complete “interface Something {“ with all those fields, with types! It might duplicate or miss a field sometimes but it makes fewer mistakes than I would.

I’m pretty sure it pulls context from at least the other open files in VS Code, if not the ones on disk. Hard to tell for sure.

It’s kind of like having an eager, well-read, but naive and over-caffeinated intern as a pair programmer.
It would be one thing if all this debt was being spent on public works projects or universal welfare programs, but sadly it's being squandered away on unaccountable and dark military projects, cronyism, and all the worse avarice that humans are capable of.

I'm probably not using it to the fullest. I mostly use it for boilerplate that I know it's good at, like `// Write a function to run the cpu profiler for 30 seconds and write the result to the filename in variable "foo"`. But I guess if it knows your codebase, then you can say `// Write a test to ensure that Foo accepts a nil FooRequest.` or something. I should figure out how to set that up.

All in all it saves me a little bit of typing a couple of times a week.

we have look up latency requirements on the elastic side. on pgvector it is currently a staging and aggregation database so lookup latency not so important. Our requirement right now is that we need to be able to embed and ingest ~100M vectors / day. This we can achieve without any problems now.

For future lookup queries on pgvector, we can almost always pre-filter on an index before the vector search.

I haven't had that comms issue with Google but I have to say, even though I prefer GCP to AWS in terms of user friendliness, it is far too often the case that you find exactly the solution you need only to learn it's deprecated in favour of a less useful alternative.
I have stopped using them for goods with an expiration date, and have severely curtailed my other purchases. It's a crap platform.

I hope for a future where their monopoly position is litigated away so that there is a fair marketplace with other options for next day delivery for common household items. I prefer to shop in brick and mortar stores, but there's definitely a legitimate use case for next-day delivery of household supplies. I have a family member currently experiencing severe mobility issues who lives several hours away from me in a rural area, and unfortunately Amazon is the only way I can get things like household medical supplies to her door on short notice.

> For proficient users who use passwords securely, this is an acute drop in security (if forced to use).

Why? Because the user can have their device stolen and the PIN guessed? Can't you use a long password instead of a PIN if you want to?

And this part I'm not sure of, please correct me if you know. If I understand it correctly there's one security advantage even assuming a sophisticated user who is immune to weak passwords, password reuse or phishing. If there's ever a leak of Google passkeys, the leak would only get public keys, which can't be used for login, making the leak mostly useless.
Sorry if this is the wrong place to ask this, but something has confused me for a long time: why aren’t there permanent international observers in Israel and Gaza to help protect innocent civilian populations on both sides? The UN should do its job.

And it is not my intention to pick on the Israelis and Palestinians here: there are many hotspots in the world that should have permanent international observers. I don’t see the downside, and if it would reduce civilian casualties, then well worth the money and resources.
I can tell you firsthand that the ONLY cure for a shitty, soul-draining job is to quit.
As for the timing, it could be better, but it could be worse. Plenty of openings out there as long as your stack isn’t COBOL. C and Python are particularly strong for AI/ML related efforts at places like Nvidia and data science/engineering at many places, respectively. Ultimately, having a job is pointless if it kills (literally or figuratively).
