> I don't know much about the TKey, but it looks like they have some kind of remote attestation protocol available? (https://github.com/tillitis/tkey-verification/tree/main/cmd/...). That's usually how you avoid TOFU.

There is a tool to verify if the device is genuine by mechanism of a signature.
You're outlining most of the process. The question is whether avoiding TOFU is the goal, right? I'm thinking, with the physical device in your hands and during first use, it's quite reasonable to establish the identity for your 'program' + 'user-secret'.

> You now have a chain of trust from (1) the tillitis CA -> (3) the TKey device platform pubkey @ some specific firmware version -> (2) your custom software pubkey @ some specific version.

This does mean you make this a global + centralized effort, right? (Also, it creates a dependency.)

> (3) Somehow your custom software's pubkey gets locally certified by the platform's pubkey from (1). (not sure what this looks like w/ the TKey)

With the specific firmware version: this requires a (possibly centralized) certification-process if only for a keypair, or qualification effort (if any) for the program?

To conclude: I am not convinced yet that TOFU is necessarily a bad thing. However, I do appreciate some ability to authenticate over many uses / longer stretches of time. (Hence the key-exchange + authn.)
It seems there is a trade-off here, TOFU can be eradicated but requires other properties/effort. OTOH, the program-specific secret makes for a very strict form of trust. I'll take your comments into consideration, but it seems whichever way one chooses, there is a trade-off to be made.
2016 looks almost binomial. We also need to take into account population size (significantly more in 2016 compared to 1980). It could be that there are just as many young women having children - but there are now more mothers >30. So maybe there won't be less great grandmothers, just a lesser percent of the population.
As another poster mentioned this is literally why we have courts. There is a clear line for obtaining a search warrant for example. Precedents exist.
ohhh a key on the keyboard.
In my "maybe I'll need it some day" pile, I still have the two-mono-plugs to one stereo jack adapter I bought at Radio Shack so I could stick it to The Man. I think I only used it half a dozen times.

When I was doing software at (In Flight Entertainment) IFE Vendor, people used the "Emirates card" to basically shift priorities at moment's notice. Emirates buys a lot of planes, and subsequently a lot of IFE systems, so they are pretty hard to ignore.
> That doesn't mean we're doomed to live out the idiocracy future, but it explains this blog post.

We're already living in the idiocracy future. Actually, the film needs a sequel something fierce, smartphones and now AI is fast making our reality post-idiocracy.
United States tax payers. We absolutely love building prisons and putting people we don't like in them.
I'm not one to give an exaggerated eulogy nor rhapsodize about all those "Books with a white cover and a weird picture" -- but I will say I read thinking fast and slow for the first time last year, after decades of resisting, and felt it covered some generally profound ideas that still are relevant as ever and not widely understood.

(Though at some point, maybe the 2nd half of the book, drags on and you can skip most of those chapters. If you don't have time for that, I'm sure chat GPT can give you a taste of the main premises and you can probe deeper from there.)
Precautionary principle and defense-in-depth would have prevented this.

You plan for the worst, but most importantly you plan for multiple different versions of what "worst" could entail, and you have uncorrelated redundancy such that the probability of disaster reduces from p to p^3.

Ukraine made the same mistake by not putting mines along the border. Just taking it for granted that an invasion wouldn't happen.

Hedge your tail risks with cheap real options, folks.
Maybe that's where the line starts, but does it stay there? As an example, look at how the US's anti-communist fervor led to things like COINTELPRO: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/COINTELPRO

Especially today, I think we have to look at every power we might give to government and ask, "What happens if the worst people get access to this?" Because they're certainly going to try.
The Allam cycle seems to be getting some traction. The capital cost is only slightly above combined cycle, which is much cheaper than new nuclear per unit of power output.

BTW, need for water isn't what killed nuclear, it was high capital cost.
Wow. I was just looking him up yesterday to see if he had written anything else. Sad. Be blessed.
It is not that disingenuous. We can only make claims based on the current data.

There can be even bigger competitors in the market, but because they stay quiet and do not publish results, we do not know about their capabilities. Who knows what Apple has been doing all this time? They sure have capabilities. Even if they make some random comments about the use of Gemini.

Until the data and proof has been provided, it is accurate to claim "the best model on the market". Everything else is hypothetical.
I've dug into the studies on the co-sleeping risks.

It turns out that co-sleeping is a risky thing if you are on drugs or are drunk.

If you are 100% sober, then it's perfectly fine. If you are high, or have had a drink, or are on some sort of flu medication (NyQuil, then the risks start ratcheting up.

So, since we're most worried about the parents that do drugs and drink around their infants, the common advice is to no co-sleep. It makes sense, I totally agree with that tack, but if you are willing to be 100% sober of all drugs and alcohol, then try co-sleeping and see how it goes.
Show HN: I built a web app where you can see what tools indiehackers are using
Hi everyone!

We all agree that the dev stack to build a project does not matter that much, it's usually best to build with the tools we already know and feel comfortable with.

But when it comes to payment tools, design, email marketing, SEO, hosting, there's a lot we can learn by seeing what others are using.

I built RamenTools for this purpose, and you can already see what tools are being used by 120+ indiehackers. RamenTools can also recommend you what tools to use with a specific tool, based on other makers' usage.

Whether you are an indie maker, designer, marketer or any type of digital creator, feel free to create your dashboard and share what tools you use.

I apologize in advance that you can only sign up with X/Twitter, since it's been a project shared only within Twitter Tech circles until now. I surely will add other ways to sign up if there is a demand for it, following your requests.

I hope you'll enjoy using the website, you may find there an indiehacker you know or a tool you're curious about.

Cheers!
Amazon fined in Poland for dark pattern design tricks
Thanks so much for reading this beast of a tech article haha! I'm glad you enjoyed it. I'm surprised people are actually reading the whole thing lol. Thank you for the kind words.

I didn't attend MIT, but the existence of OCW is exactly what made me wince a bit reading this. This guy really experienced professors refusing to record lectures to encourage attendance? That doesn't track with MIT being a pioneer among US universities in recording lectures and making them freely available, not just for their own students, but for anyone anywhere with an Internet connection. I used OCW extensively when going back to school for grad school, even though it was not at MIT. Those resources are terrific and invaluable.
As a dad I only had 1 month of paternity leave and I still found it incredibly difficult to go back to work(not because of work, but because my son needed a lot of support and I wasn't able to provide it). 2 weeks would be literally impossible, I think I'd resign.
It feels like AI in an OS is going to be the next Internet Explorer. MS are going to bundle their version with special hooks and integrations and it's going to be impossible to completely remove or replace theirs with any other models and/or they will suffer from an inferior experience.
All while I'm not even sure I want this future they're trying to sell me.
That's a great idea too. Thanks guys, please keep the suggestions coming if you have other thoughts.

I believe they are using the percentages as part of the height of the bar chart! I thought I'd seen every way someone could do dataviz wrong (particularly with a bar chart), but this one is new to me.
Last time I saw a post from Gizmodo making a privacy accusation about Facebook, it was an article claiming that the Facebook app injected a keylogger into the embedded web browser. Its linked source? Another Gizmodo article claiming something entirely different: That the TikTok app injected a keylogger into the embedded web browser (the citation in the latter article being a link to a third-party security research post). The former article was cited by a Mastodon account alleging to represent the Protonmail brand.

I'm not sure what to believe. I am personally going to have to do more research before coming to conclusions on this, as my ability to trust Gizmodo (especially on the subject of social media) has been compromised by that incident.
This is so ridiculous, I can’t wait for this trend to pass.
Don't assume your process is the only process. You have to share resources like storage and RAM with everything else on the system. Just a single, simple Java app can gobble up all available RAM if you don't tell it otherwise.
Why can't you bury a 2nd box in your friends yard who lives across the country?
There's a system that already exists in Australia (TDIF) based on OAuth and OIDC, but it's not legislated and lacks regulatory oversight. This uplifts and codifies this to a federal level and adds some additional governance and oversight in a similar way to the Consumer Data Right (CDR).

It's Authentication/Identity. But really it's a federated system of consent where you can allow one authoritative holder of some information about you to transmit it to another. Simple E.g. omitting many details but say some federal government agency (A) wants my driver's licence number. because I use the same identity for both (A) and my state department of transport (B) I can tell (B) it's ok to send it to (A). (A) and (B) are both in the "network" which is governed by a central Register (R) and verifies each to each other so they can securely share data over standardized channels. The central register does not get involved beyond legitimising (A) and (B) to each other. The benefit is for a lot of cases the specific information stays with the relevant party, you just consent to when one needs to borrow some from another.
Damn, I’m reading Thinking Fast and Slow right now. RIP.
If I was doing something that needed heavy security, but I'm just a boring average joe. My critical accounts are protected by TOTP on one (backed up) device only, other things are kind of "good enough" with passkeys and passwords. If I ever become a criminal mastermind or double agent I'll probably dive into such methods though.
School administrators are awful because modern American school parents are god awful and want stupid things. Several states are attempting to bring back physical violence as a behavior modification tool because way too many of our fellow citizens genuinely believe that "spare the rod, spoil the child" is a literal, scientific fact. So many people genuinely believe the correct way to handle bad child behavior is to hit them.

It's funny, because out of the tens of thousands of students my mom taught over 30 years, the students that misbehaved pretty regularly came from parents that enthusiastically punished their child with violence.Those kids always loved her though, because she was firm and strict but also very maternal. She regularly had kids that everyone else considered "bad students" or "trouble kids" behave, and actually LEARN things (and she taught french class FFS), to the point that those troublesome kids would often beg to come spend their study hall periods in her classroom and actually behave and do their homework.

There are a lot of shitty human beings in the American school system, because we pay garbage, so you don't become a teacher unless you have some ulterior motive. For many idealistic young people, they want to teach, but that gets metaphorically beaten out of them by petty administrative politics and dealing with all the shitty people who got the job by default because nobody else wants it and they just want to be a shithead to kids.

I shouldn't have to say this but not every physically abused kid will act out, and not every one will act out in the same way. Plenty of those kids were just desperate for someone to pay attention to them. Because we are social animals, and the people that think we should beat our kids are pretty bad at knowing that.
Having grown up in the rural Netherlands in the 90s: Yes, it was animal excrement and it was terrible. You’d had to close your windows even if a farmer was spraying their manure a kilometer away. Not to mention that these tanks of manure would be driven through towns and would leave behind liquid spills on the roads.

Direct injection was a godsend.
Show HN: Edginary – Your Data, Globally
Hey HN,

We're thrilled to introduce you to Edginary, our new groundbreaking startup set to change how developers access and scale their data globally. We've all felt the pain points of dealing with centralized data sources: performance bottlenecks, reliability issues, and the dreaded revenue loss due to downtime. Edginary is here to tackle these issues head-on.

Edginary is a serverless platform that moves your data close to your users in real-time so they can access it in ultra low-latency. By reducing the load on your servers and databases, we aim to not only improve performance and reliability but also save you money.

*How it works:*

Edginary pulls data from various sources like databases, data lakes, and data warehouses using Change Data Capture (CDC) or periodic polling mechanisms. This ensures up-to-date data ingestion in real-time or near-real-time.

Once the data is captured, Edginary enables users to combine, transform and aggregate it using its own internal real-time transformation engine. It supports Streaming SQL, with future plans to incorporate WebAssembly and TypeScript.

After processing, the processed data is replicated to hundreds of nodes around the world, stored and indexed in a low-latency datastore, queryable using REST API with millisecond response time globally.

*Join Our Beta:*

We're opening up our closed Beta! It's a fantastic opportunity for you to get early access and see how Edginary can revolutionize your work with data. Visit our web and be part of this exciting journey with us.
I know they exist. I just don't really know how they work or what they do.
Obviously they weren’t using the word “murder” in a legal sense but rather in an informal sense. The OP is conveying the idea that they find the killings to be morally wrong.

The Windows key is a recent addition to the PC keyboard layouts: there are many Model M keyboards with Windows-key-sized gaps in their lower rows.

I'll be interested to see how the mechanical keyboard community reacts to this once these keyboards are ubiquitous. The Signature Plastics keycaps on my keyboard have the legend SYSTEM on the Windows key (or Super key, since I don't use Windows): how will this evolve?
The ephemeral nature of the Tweet is nothing compared to the harsh fact that the highly efficient means of production (your producing more stuff with less resources) is in the hands of a segment of the population that wants to segregate itself away from the segment that has nothing but common men in it. So, every time someone tries to rebuke the Malthusian overpopulation condition, it's just a kidnapped person falling in love with his kidnapper. Or neo-feudal serfs trying to lick the boots of their assigned king in hopes of pleasing this would-be benefactor which lords over the mostly hopeless dwarf.

Buckminister Fuller is the one with improper calculations. His libertarian's model for addressing effective capitalism (with the goal of central planning for a secessionary, yet still vassal, state) relies on old and obsolete conceptual tools, namely history itself. All geopolitical problems is a scam with at the top of that pyramid scheme suit wearing bureaucrats who are the characters from the 1984 dystopia, with no differences between them. You're kinda blind to your oppression and the totalitarian regime you're running under.
When I went to school office hours was where you went if you wanted to get hints on what you needed to know for the exam, not to learn stuff. It was a means to an end. Honestly I never even considered the idea that office hours could help me better understand the material. Goes to show you what the mind of a college student is like.
Containers are powerful because they solve many computing issues, one of which being able to act as a (lower case c) static container for dynamically linked apps as well as cross-language, multi-executable meta-apps.

Containers also provide many forms of isolation (network, file system etc.), they provide a modern versioning and distribution scheme, composibility (use another container as a base image).

All of these things can, and perhaps should be, done at a the language level as well but containers also work across languages, across linking paradigms, and with existing binaries.
Yeah I tried experimenting with that a bit at the beginning. For some reason it kept looking too '3D-ish' compared to the rest of the flat material design. Do you have any visual examples you've seen of something closer to what you have in mind? Would be super helpful, thanks.
I talked to a bunch of dudes who had various surgeries to open up their airways. It seems the outcome of the surgeries is kind of hit and miss. Some people had multiple surgeries and still no success.
Cool product. I signed up.

I wish there was a clear way of sending you feedback though, there are some details that annoy me a lot.

I'm transcribing some recorded sound, and after I have had it transcribed and I am editing it, every time I tab away from the browser the cursor position gets lost. The focus on the textarea is also lost, and when I click it, it doesn't insert the cursor where I click but at the start of the document so I even loose my scroll position.

As a paying customer I'd hope to have a way to give you this kind of feedback. It should be fairly easy to make this a much better experience.

Really cool product all in all though! I don't often subscribe to stuff.
I think the challenges with mushrooms as "whole foods" are similar to that of greens (also "good source of protein").

Challenge one: you need a truly huge volume of the uncooked stuff to get a meaningful amount of protein out. Lentils are way more compact.

Challenge two: when one cooks greens or shrooms, they tend to add a lot of oils and other stuff that destroys that ratio.

The proposal on offer here solves this for shrooms by preparing a packaged patty based on them (like today's extant Quorn product). This is cool and I'd love to see it, but it's not like they're trying to replace soy/lentils (which certainly have "good enough" protein content) as agricultural staples that you can harvest and eat with minimal preparation.
It‘s more likely to be incompetence than malice: even their 73.7% is closer to 72% than to 74%.
A non starter right out the gate for me
A ridiculous trend of course, but look on the bright side: a new spare key to remap to whatever you want!
Is Microsoft putting a local model onto each Windows 11 install now? Would an Intel NPU built into Intel's CPUs make copilot perform better? I though Copilot was exclusively ran through a Bing i-frame-esque window in Windows 11?

Unless they're planning to make locally run AI models that will take advantage of Intel's NPU's in the future and this is a step to prepare for it?

Very interesting.
What happens if you suffer a TBI and can't remember the password?

I guess you'd have bigger problems at that point.
Thinking Fast and Slow made a tremendous impact on me when I read it (multiple times) in the 2010s. What curiosity and what clarity of thought this man had. His influence will continue to be felt!
So they have no cameras in that room? crazy
it wouldn't be hard to add to the app though. obviously if you get a flood it's bullshit and more than a couple can be ignored. It's not rocket surgery
Are you familiar with FISC? I'd say go familiarize yourself with its case law, but you can't, because it's secret. And it authorizes methods much more powerful and invasive than a simple search warrant. Precedent exists, but nobody outside the national security state actually knows what it is.
I don't think the two PoVs are incompatible. Lower tolerance for mess drives people to clean earlier and more proactively. The labor equity issue is a direct consequence of differences in taste. There are lots of group dynamics that work this way - not just domestic labor.

The real question is: what can you do about it? My claim is that "I have a problem with your mess" is a better starting point than "you have a problem with mess." Some parts of the article get this, and others don't.
"people [are] endlessly complicated and interesting."
Is this the study you were referring to?

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7898726/

> Effects of moderate sleep restriction during 8-week calorie restriction on lipoprotein particles and glucose metabolism

Because the conclusion starts with,

> In this study, 8 weeks of calorie restriction with and without sleep restriction of less than 90 minutes per day on 5 days with 2 days of ad libitum sleep per week, resulted in similar degrees of weight loss

Let me be clear that sleep deprivation doesn’t seem to be good for your circulating lipoprotien levels or insulin sensitivity based on that study, but they didn’t gain weight.
So, when hearing about Oxide's culture, these kind of objections come up a lot (namely, concerns about shadow structures). There are three important things to know about Oxide: first, while we think autonomy is important, we do have a CEO -- and the CEO is (and has to be) the final single authority in the company. Now, we also don't disagree much as a company, and that leads to the second important thing to know: our hiring process[0][1] is very, very deliberate -- and we are carefully looking for people who will thrive in our environment. And that it's careful and deliberate is not unrelated to the third thing to know about Oxide: our compensation is uniform.[2] (As it turns out, people are very careful when evaluating someone who is a peer rather than a subordinate!)

With respect to other environments that encourage autonomy, that last element -- that compensation is uniform -- tends to set Oxide apart: if an environment encourages both autonomy and stack-based ranking and compensation, it absolutely will create shadow structure. By removing the organizational tumor of variable compensation, Oxide removes the shadow structure that it creates.
