This is a bit like saying car use grew because of differentials. Cars use differentials but the reason car use grew isn't the differential. If it wasn't the differential it would be some other mechanism that does the same thing.

Pessimists don't have a monopoly on reality, and society isn't obligated to limit itself to your low expectations just so that you can feel good about being right.

Face the reality that the status quo is unsustainable. Throw off your wishful thinking that things can go on like this without repercussion.
Okay so your solution is: open borders and heavier government surveillance to balance it? Fantastic.

Apple doesn’t even need to do that. They can send the DOJ after Beeper.

Many people hear about a reverse entering exception in the DMCA and call it a day. But it’s not that simple.

Reverse engineering is allowed for a very narrow case, namely interoperability between two software programs (for which you have a license granting you legal permission to use), as defined in paragraph 4 of Section 103(f).

The DMCA decidedly does not permit you to use reverse engineering to package someone else's software or service and sell it.

Jurisprudence also established that EULAs that explicitly prohibit reverse engineering supersede the exception granted in the DMCA, see Bowers v. Baystate Technologies, 320 F.3d 1317 (Fed. Cir. 2003)[0]

Apple has explicitly forbidden reverse engineering in their macOS license agreement[1], the iOS license agreement[2], and the Apple Media Terms of Service[3].

Agreement with those terms is necessary to reach the parts that need reverse engineering.

There’s also the matter that the pypush repository seems to include Apple’s proprietary code, which wouldn’t fall under reverse engineering.

Worst of all, even if reverse engineering was allowed, it still doesn't allow you to connect to other people's servers. The Computer Fraud Abuse Act of 1986 explicitly prohibits unauthorized access to computer systems, and the DMCA exception doesn't supersede the CFAA.

A lot of states have criminal statutes that mirror the CFAA.

So, at this point, it wouldn’t be inconceivable for Apple to try and get the DOJ involved.

I mean, it would make sense if you also added direct payment using a CC for example, but this seems just a wrapper around web3modal that collects 1% tax on each tx.

I'm fine with that, actually. I don't agree that such things should be covered by 230 in the first place.

> Note that the exemption from 230 here is not just on the output of generative AI. It’s if the conduct “involves the use or provision” of generative AI. So, if you write a post, and an AI grammar/spellchecker suggests edits, then the company is no longer protected by Section 230?

This is a much bigger problem. In my opinion, this is what makes the proposed legislation utterly unacceptable.
Most javascript engines are JIT-based and that's hard to make safe, you'd need a complete proof that the emitted assembly is correct. It's similar to the problem of proving correctness for any compiler.

Ghosts on the Glacier - New photos renew questions about a deadly expedition
I've been buying lots of cryptography books lately as I wanted to learn about the evolution of our understanding of this topic.

How about some of the following:

- "Real-World Cryptography" is my recommendation for the first book to read, but probably won't work for your friend as it doesn't cover any algorithms in detail. It's a great topic to cover a lot of ground quickly to gain a good understanding of how cryptography is used in practice.

- "Introduction to Modern Cryptography" is used as a textbook on many universities and I recommend it for someone who doesn't mind diving in into the maths. Being a textbook, it's fairly academic.

- "The Code Book: The Secret History of Codes and Code-breaking" covers the history.

- For TLS and PKI, read "Bulletproof TLS and PKI" (disclaimer: I wrote it). It's a good book to understand practical protocol engineering in the context of the evolution of TLS from 1995 until now.

Edits:

- The manga book is very nice and fun, but high level and dated.

- Crypto by Steven Levy also recommended.

- Serious Cryptography is good, but Real-World Cryptography is more recent and provides a better foundation.

- Cryptography Engineering / Practical Cryptography / Applied Cryptography are often recommended, but they're very dated at this point.

- Your friend might enjoy https://cryptopals.com/

Exposing postgres functions through the GraphQL API has been one of our most frequent requests. I'm really looking forward to seeing what people are able to build with this flexibility. The coolest one I've come across so far is a full text search entrypoint on the Query object.

I love postgres json aggregates, but since postgres cant do nested aggregates it is kinda limiting when I would like to build my whole query response in a single postgres query
So I've been mulling over a few observations:

- There's a prevailing view that ChatGPT isn't quite cut out for coding, with a tendency to err more than assist. This is what I hear people say online.

- But, in my experience, it's been surprisingly helpful in exploring new tech areas and programming languages.

- Plus, there's the intriguing case of Terrence Tao, who uses it for collaboration in mathematical proofs and for learning Lean.

This got me thinking. We often see folks on Reddit grappling with learning challenging programming languages. Yet, we may be underestimating the potential of LLMs like ChatGPT in learning and navigating through the complex parts of learning new languages and technologies.

I shared this post on /r/programming and people did not seem to like it so far. Maybe I should have called it: "LLMs make Programming Language Learning Curves Shallower" or something.

They are. These cases carry a "don't fuck around with Australia's consumer protection rules" message to other companies thinking of doing so. If you're selling products like this in Australia, you're committing to a 24+ month warranty/return period. No 90 day fuckery.
I saw that Deep fake Elon ad on my phone and on a small screen i didn't notice the small mismatches. Especially in the first 20 seconds it is spot on. I mean i didn't fall for it either, but i totally see how other people could fall for these deep fakes. Obviously, they do, otherwise these scammers wouldn't have the money to run these ads.
I wouldn't be so dismissive of Youtube.

The youtube recommendation algorithm brings up new and cool content over long period of time, and I cultivated my recommendation feed as such.

It's a destination in itself.

Sure, you could have a video site that just have a top ten video and a subscription list, but it wouldn't be as compelling.

Now. There are a lot of things that youtube could rightfully be criticized for, and perhaps there should be major changes made to how youtube works. Better pay for youtube creators and payment to small channels for example. More promotion of youtube premium, and less advertising.

I assume that youtube is profitable. The question is how much service that they can offer but still remain sustainable. If they're not profitable, how they could monetize it without destroying the value of the platform, ideally adding to the value rather than taking it away. I like some of the youtube scripted show, and I was disappointed that they canceled a show that I want to see continued.
I take that to be enabled by the English rules on libel. As far as I know, Americans are limited to striking people off party lists (Quinn v. Buckley), veiled threats of fisticuffs (Mailer v. Simon) and letters of complaint--what Paul Fussell referred to as the ABM, the Author's Big Mistake.
> it's a high interest rate phenomenon

Well, it's more of an interest rate change phenomenon.

All companies are currently overvalued by absurd amounts, but the computer-related ones have it dialed a few dozen notches above "absurd". Things became this way because of the zero interest rate (and the expectation that it was permanent), but it's not sustainable anymore.
From a memory safety perspective, I would say the same about python. The libraries that make it popular are all written in c++ to my knowledge. Anyone not already using python usually has better tools to choose from these days.
In 2023, more than 160 people on the terror watch list have been caught illegally crossing US borders:

Given that there are 600,000 who were observed entering but got away in 2023 alone, and more were likely crossing unobserved, there's very good odds that they are already here.
I read a good analysis of Artemis a while back that essentially calculated the cost per hour of time-on-moon and in that sense it was easy to see that the program was a significant upgrade over Apollo and the costs weren't that bad when calculated per hour. Achieving a 10x improvement over the previous generation usually can't be done without doing something new and different that hasn't been done before, and in-orbit refuelling fits right in. Gemini and Apollo had to work out and develop far more tech to do what they needed to do.
It’s nuts to think that in the near future LLM will be able to do that refactoring in seconds. All we need is enough context window.

In the world of graphics programming, you've got:

- continuing accumulation of documentation and utility libraries from Khronos

- excellent learning materials from the community

- tons of legacy code

all using C++.

https://github.com/cg-tuwien/VulkanLaunchpad

https://cescg.org/our-services/an-introduction-to-vulkan/

Until I see professionals get funding to build, maintain, document, and create training materials for Rust bindings, I'm going to continue to assume there will not be movement in that sector. I don't think industry is going to throw away the C++ ecosystem and build greenfield projects on a foundation of hobby projects.
>I'm sure OpenBSD developers have very good intuition on what could be used in a vulnerability, without having to write one themselves

Why? On average programmers are not very good security engineers. And the opposite - security engineers are often not a good programmers. If your mitigation doesn't stop any CVE that's being exploited right now in the wild, it's an academic exercise and not particularly useful IMO.

>And fortunately, they don't have a manager above them to whom they need to justify their billing hours.

The point of the thread is that the mitigation cost right now may be low (the "billing hours"), but it's paid in perpetuity by everyone else downstream - in complexity, performance, unexpected bugs, etc. So having a manager or BDFL to evaluate the tradeoffs may be beneficial.

> OTP secrets are stored encrypted, not in plaintext.

Then so are password hashes. I mean, it would be pretty stupid to make the effort to encrypt part of the login information, and then fail to encrypt the other part.

> Yes, that's what "help" means here. OTPs limit the access lifetime and rights of the session. They help.

Yeah, yeah, they do. How much? "Hardly" In my opinion.

Here’s the thing with TOTP: it’s time based, and therefore remains valid for a couple dozen seconds. Unless the service took special steps to make sure TOTP codes aren’t reused, the MitM can reuse your first TOTP code to change your email & password behind your back, close the session, and lock you out forever. They’d have to be fast, but machines are pretty fast these days. And even if the service does take such precautions, nothing prevents the MitM to ask you for a second TOTP once you make a less than important operation, and if you’re tired enough you’ll just grumble and give it to them.

Point being, there are ways to do long term damage even in the face of TOTP, which are only barely harder than password-only attack.

So sure, TOTP does help. They even help me, by a negligible little bit. But honestly it’s zero vs epsilon as far as I am concerned.

> 1. The password to unlock a password manager isn't MFA for the services—

Irrelevant.

MFA means multiple factors are required to log in. If I’m putting a password in my password manager, I need something I know (master password), and something I have (my password database). That’s 2 factors no matter how you cut it. Whether the service I’m using knows about those 2 factors is immaterial.

> 2. Where OTP secrets are stored, on the other hand, is irrelevant for those same threat models. Their value, limited as it is, is the same either way.

Agreed.

> In fact, if you use a password manager with OTP autofill and never type codes in by hand, you're basically doing as well against phishing as people using FIDO.

Indeed.

> But again, U2F and FIDO2 are strictly better.

They are, if only because the service can be more confident this translate to decent security practices from the user (or at least the user’s machine). And they can be quite non-intrusive, which I like.

I’m wary however of the temptation to use those new credential mechanisms to lock users in. Require FIDO2 if you want, but do not require me to buy a security key from a specific brand (even if it’s the TPM), or store my credential database in some Apple Cloud Shit.

Not sure where the confusion is. Seems from the quoted text you were expressly asking if iMessage was free or not.

If not, what is the “it” you were referring to in your reply? Your initial response did not seem to compare cost to beeper.

P.S.: If support for unity AR development is robust enough, I'd highly encourage you to aggressively pitch this to educational institutions. One major pain point is how challenging it is to provide a solution at scale to have students building in VR. A solution to be able to spend a modest amount of money, on something that is super robust, that leverages tech all the students have, and that I could get a dozen of for the price of two of the alternatives, would be a game changer.

He's gotten further with subsequent products. A lot of the learnings with model 3 went into the model y and later iterations of the model 3. And of course cybertruck.

Industrial robot usage and other manufacturing innovations are a big reason they are leading the industry in manufacturing cost and speed. Other manufacturers are starting to emulate a lot of the things they are doing with structural battery manufacturing, casting big parts, etc. The likes of VW and others are (by their own admission) behind and struggling with the number of parts, amount of manual work, etc. It might not be as automated as Elon Musk would like but it is pretty impressive.

It will be interesting to see what they do with their upcoming cheaper model. He seems to be hinting at the notion that further manufacturing improvements are going to be a big part of that.
But what’s your point? Do we expect each other to read the submission (the report) or something? :)
What I don't understand is the excitement for using Rust vs. using garbage collected languages like Golang, at least for high-level applications (performant or low-level systems applications are excepted here.) My experience is that an experienced programmer can be a lot more productive quickly with Golang, since they don't need to climb the Rust borrow-checking learning curve. Rust doesn't even free you from the need for a runtime or standard library.
