The article clearly states that it’s using our colloquial meaning of “computer” as a metaphor to help convey their thought experiment. It even has a disclaimer about using metaphors.

FWIW I think it’s an interesting thought experiment. I think it’s especially interesting to draw the parallel to biology. Clearly our brains are doing computation by even the strictest definition of computer, so at which biological level does computation stop? A chunk of my brain is clearly doing computation, a neuron must be doing computation since that is the building block for our brains. Single cells must also be doing computation since a single cell had all of the computational knowledge encoded in it to build me. All of these processes are built upon physical reality, so it’s not that big a leap that similar processes might emerge elsewhere and at different scales and using different physical mechanisms.
CC0 a license that relinquishes copyrights. You’re right that it’s a license and not public domain, but otherwise making a distinction without a difference. The stated explicit intent, and the rights granted by the license, are to provide a version of public domain that is unambiguous and works globally.

Your terminology is a bit funny when you say “I still own the copyright” or “all of these works are copyright”. Works aren’t copyright, works are protected by copyrights that authors have… unless the author waives those rights. The copyright one has by default is the exclusive right to copy and distribute the work. Once you give that away, either via license or public domain attribution, it’s irrevocable and permanent, and there’s nothing of value in the idea that you’re still the copyright holder, since there are no longer any copy rights retained nor copyright protection under any laws.

In short, it’s perfectly fine to call CC0 attributed works “copyright-free” because that’s what the license actually does, it “waives” all copyrights and “related rights”, and allows the public to copy at will, forever.

BTW I don’t think it’s true to say that there’s no such thing as relinquishing copy rights in many countries, that’s too strong of a claim. It is true to say there’s no such thing as public domain, but copy rights (or “related rights”) can be transferred and/or waived pretty much everywhere.
Any alternative suggestions? Its similar to green washing and other such practices.

> “They’re very much afraid that in the end, when China won’t have access to ASML machines, they will be even more motivated to build their own lithography system that might compete with ASML’s”

Note the phrase "even more", recognizing that even with access to ASML's most advanced machines, they're very keen to reproduce the technology. Nobody doubts that they will eventually. The only question is how many years it will take.

It will no doubt take many years longer without access to the latest.

Is the fact that you need access to an already- enrolled device to create additional passkeys part of the threat model that passkeys resolves, or just an annoying detail? And is this for every site, or just once per device? I can just look it up, this thread has been great to improve my mental model enough to start considering trusting it.
The Conservatives who have been in government for a long time will most likely lose a general election within a year so we should also be looking at the opposition Labour party's views on this kind of legislation.

Perhaps surprisingly given they are currently led by a former human rights lawyer the Labour side also seem to be authoritarian when it comes to technology and surveillance.
putting aside morality, much of the law in the US conforms to that bar. See backpage, Megaupload, silkroad, ect.
wow. what a thread.
These are notes he typed up, maybe for himself and maybe to share with others. Doing this is a highly effective way to clarify your own thinking. Most of his ideas are listed are mundane, but others, like where he predicts something like quantum computers years before that became apparent are pretty cool to see.

I love learning high-level knowledge using conceptual overviews and I remember them very well too. I’m just not wired to remember the nitty-gritty of things and I found drills are the only way forward provided they are implemented intelligently like Anki.

My view on them changed as well. First I found them stupid and mind-numbing. Now my life is busy and chaotic and drills are one of the few easy, zen-like moments. Maybe students need harder lives to actually come to appreciate their repetitive and simple nature.

Terrible way to run a system. Most distro contain all the software you need in repos.

Package managers are some of the greatest thing about smartphones. It is trivial to install and keep up to date all your software. They also aren't walled gardens at all. You are free to add repos all you want.

Also smartphone package manager precede desktop package managers. It just was a good idea.
> truly good advice can only be rooted in the care and experience of another human being.

Ideally, but advice can still be good/useful/accurate even when it isn't direct personalized love etc., or else nobody would ever make books, which are arguably deader than an LLM.
The Postmaster debacle is the biggest example of this I have ever seen. Something has dramatically changed when people are not being held accountable for their crimes.
Fair. I for one enjoy all the technical expertise that's present in the HN hivemind and every time I visit the front page I learn something new. The "mostly software but sometimes a wikipedia article about geology" nature of the platform really strikes a chord with me and I just choose not to read discussions that are 10 layers deep.
This doesn't really have anything to do with the question. It's not about the gradual increase of rates over time generally, it's about relative rates due to behavior tracking.

If reckless driving can increase insurance premiums relative to others while ideal driving has no effect on your relative premium, it's just a naked money grab. All downside means drivers should be against it.
Off topic, but I just realized this with this post: how come the tl;dr often ends up at the bottom instead of the top?

I would find it a lot more convenient to see it at the top to read it and decide if I want to keep reading the full article..
Read my op to the end. Yes, I will have to move in order to be able to retire. That was my whole point.
Same. This came amid a civil war in the Scala community, too.
I agree that it's not more vulnerable than just using a password, I'm only saying that it's only slightly less vulnerable under the best circumstances and incredibly more vulnerable under the worst circumstances (ie. if somebody got ahold of your password manager).

I also agree that passkey-based authentication provides a smaller attack surface than purely password-based authentication.

But putting the passkey on a second device provides an even smaller attack surface since now a bad actor needs both your device (or a MITM attack) and your password.

This is an HN forum. Nobody's giving "security advice," but I do feel like the parent comment's question hasn't been answered. Why would one store passkeys in their password manager instead of on a separate device?
Did they merely speak, or did they ban him from a community and made him unemployable?
The thing is, I own a mac, and I've never had to touch launchd.

I've hit severe systemd bugs on 100% of the linux desktop installs I've set up in the last 5-10 years. (examples: "x/wayland session management is broken", "uncached DNS takes 10 seconds to resolve", "this service is masked, and none of the force-unmask paths work", "omg lol no more logs for you", and so on).

The fact that pid 1 can even be involved in those sorts of userspace bugs shows how broken the architecture is.
Looks like shots from a sci-fi horror movie. I wonder what we’ll find out when humanity eventually makes it to mars. If my Futurama watching history predicts anything, is that the martians won’t have a concept of property. Thus the colonization of America happens yet again …
VRAM is king if you want to run larger (and therefore more accurate) models. 12 GB VRAM will let you run 13B models, which are great for local chat, but you could get away with 8 GB VRAM to run an 8B model as well; I'd recommend Llama 3 8B for that.

The post suggests their jobs were offshored. Is this a common practice versus just closing the roles? I feel like US legislators should do more to protect domestic jobs from domestic companies, or else they’ll face the same eventual collapse as in manufacturing.
The internet was different back then. We used to put trojans into image files which we distributed through a fake dating site peofile. For shits and giggles. We never did anything “serious” just stupid things like opening CD rom drives or moving their mouse around. We’d UDP “nuke” teacher computers. We’d use open networks, and download warez… all sort of silly stuff.

Looking back on it… well a lot of it obviously wasn’t cool at all. I’m just happy that my “teenagers do stupid things” happened in a time where the internet crime was basically not taken serious unless you hacked a bank.
On the facts, cows are grazers with incredibly robust digestive systems. They're too lumbering to hunt, but they're biologically prepared to extract nutrients from pretty much anything that ends up in their mouth while they're eating: grasses, insects, carcasses, rodents, etc. Ultimately, feeding them animal byproducts wouldn't be viable or cost-efficient (ugh) if that were not meaningfully the case.

As others are noting, it's the wacky industrial modernity doing its grossly myopic hyper-optimization thing that's the problem (and not just in animal husbandry or agriculture...).
Why are you framing this in terms of placating my paranoia? I have no objection to my lack of free will, it does not bother me. It makes me more empathetic to recognize that others lack it as well.

Great work to publish your work into public domain. I saw a couple more people in the thread trying to do the same thing.

Just curious: is there a reason to create your own site for this? Instead of listing on things like Sketchfab?

They seem to support public domain for a long time already:
https://sketchfab.com/blogs/community/sketchfab-launches-pub...
This, and requiring tech companies to consult the government before rolling out security updates, make it seem evident that safety isn't really the motivation.
> But they don't have the right to extract something from your brain.

Most folks store passwords in password managers and don't use their brains to retrieve them.
Sorry, for such inconvenience, we will stop writing software we want so that we won't risk filling BSDers brains

I really don't get these criticisms, you have choice, having choices doesn't make a system bad, makes you have to make your choices, which can also be going towards systems where stuff is standard
From that firefighter article:

> Even when net neutrality rules were in place, all major carriers imposed some form of throttling on unlimited plans when customers used more than a certain amount of data. They argued that it was allowed under the rules' exception for "reasonable network management." But while such throttling is generally applied only during times of network congestion, the Santa Clara Fire Department says it was throttled at all times once the device in question went over a 25GB monthly threshold.

> Even if Verizon's throttling didn't technically violate the no-throttling rule, Santa Clara could have complained to the FCC under the now-removed net neutrality system, which allowed Internet users to file complaints about any unjust or unreasonable prices and practices. FCC Chairman Ajit Pai's decision to deregulate the broadband industry eliminated that complaint option and also limited consumers' rights to sue Internet providers over unjust or unreasonable behavior.

Soft caps for "unlimited" plans and content-neutral QoS don't seem like net neutrality violations as I understand it. If they started slowing down one internet service while allowing another on the same plan to run at full speed, that would be another story.
Nissan CVTs were fine.

The problem is they wanted to cost cut so they put the CVTs in car models with too much torque from the engine.
FWIW, I avoid using and contributing to projects with revenue-based licenses on principle - I hate bait-and-switches and folk who pull up ladders behind themselves. They will have to coexist with the forks with standard licenses.
I’m glad something like this happened, it felt very orchestrated.

If you look at the accused, he also owned a UK Scala consultancy that directly competed with Miles Sabin.

He tried to get me to do it as well. It was weird.

Passkeys are randomly generated passwords that are required to be managed by a password manager. All the major password managers support them, including Apple, Google, Microsoft, Mozilla, and 1Password.

By requiring the passkey to be managed by a password manager, you get some anti-phishing protection. A passkey includes metadata, including the website domain that created it, and the password managers simply won't provide the passkey to the wrong domain. They provide no way for you to copy and paste the passkey into a website, as you can with a password; there's no social-engineering technique someone can use to get you to copy and paste your passkey to an enemy.

A passkey manager is morally required to do an extra factor of authentication (e.g. fingerprint, Face ID, hardware keys, etc.) when you login to a website, but the website has no way of knowing/proving whether that happened; they just get the password.

You reset your passkey the same way you reset your password, because passkeys are just passwords that have to be managed with a password manager. Some sites make it easy to reset your password, some make it hard. You know the drill; there's nothing new or different there.

If you're happy with your password manager, there's no real need to switch, but even very "sophisticated" password users have been known to fall prey to social-engineered phishing attacks.

Are you sure you're never going to copy-and-paste your password into the wrong hands? I don't trust myself that much.

Passkeys can make it harder to switch password managers because the password managers are designed not to let you copy-and-paste a passkey, including from Google's Password Manager to Apple's Password Manager. I think all the password managers kinda like that, and there's something good and bad about it.
> These are clearly people with high IQs and active imaginations. Where they fall down is in being prone to being wildly irrational. They're also just self-absorbed and seemingly lacking in empathy and compassion.

What you are missing is that extreme wealth insulates them from any significant personal consequences of their logical imaginativeness, so such feedback never gets incorporated into their logic.

If the rest of us espoused fascism and then lost our jobs and standing in our communities, we would be in real trouble.

For the tech uber-wealthy (pun intended), money is community. Your community (peers or acolytes) will keep boosting you as long as you have it, because it completes the circular logic that explains your success.

Yes? People do get penis enlargement surgery, see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Penis_enlargement#Surgical_met... or phalloplasty which has a Wikipedia page I'd rather not link here.

Not really a fair comparison to breast augmentation though, which is more similar to the plastic surgery muscles some people get. Or hair plugs.

While I think it's much worse for women, acting like it only affects women is disingenuous.

The UK's left/right split is very different to that of the US.

In particular, surveillance is extremely popular with both of the big UK parties. Well, I say "big", we'll see if the Tories even manage to win a single seat at the next election — I think they're currently expected to get just under 100 seats, but they're so dysfunctional that total disintegration is absolutely possible between now and then.
Heh, only to circle back around and make internet enabled weapons eventually.

Outside of the ML groups, Google really doesn't like Python and there's very little of it in the codebase. This move isn't surprising in that light.

Also, Google is IBM at this point, so I would expect a lot of IBM-like moves.

Looks like the new roles in Munich, if I’m reading the thread right? Could be more than just offshoring? Why not do India or some other cheaper place instead of Munich which isn’t cheap and has relatively strong labor protections?
Curious why you consider it to be trash?
Keys can require a pin (or maybe a password depending on implementation).

But in general I haven't felt these are secure enough for the reason you say.

While my practical threat model today would make passkeys seem great, the theoretical future threat model in my head does not support it.
This isn't the greatest submission and lacks any semblance of context. The poster is in Netherlands apparently and the new team in Germany? I have no idea what to make of this.
How do you "protect" a job?
Yah, it's a bit wrong that people compare an operating system like FreeBSD (or Solaris or AIX etc) to "Linux" which is just a kernel. The distribution IS the operating system, and of course there will be differences.

SystemD is changing things up a bit and packaging up all the "boilerplate" and making things more consistent across distros, which is convenient sure. I joke that the old adage "GNU/Linux" should be updated to "SystemD/Linux".
There's something here I am not following. First you say:

> Stealing is not enough because you still need the password.

But then:

> You don't need to remember stuff anymore, because you can just use your physical keys.

How are these statements both true?
This might be my prejudice but when someone talks about offshoring a role, moving it to Munich isn't the first thing that comes to mind. It may be slightly cheaper than California but not by so much that if expect it to be the main reason for doing so.
Premise is badly flawed:

"Biden’s Armageddon Moment: When Nuclear Detonation Seemed Possible in Ukraine" (March 9, 2024)

Do any major providers these days still allow unencrypted SMTP at all though? Seems like quite the security risk.
I believe the replacements were already Google employees. Just not python-team employees. So it's sort of offshoring but not exactly.

This really doesn't make any sense to me. When I was there python was a pretty big part of the google internal ecosystem. Each major language there had a team supporting it. Not sure why you would be gutting those teams.
I don't think your analogy is correct. As I understand it, you only pay the licence fee if you watch live TV.

Now, I call that management porn. Just like developers (like me) love to discuss matters like tabs vs spaces, vim vs emacs, linux vs bsd, go vs rust, monoliths vs microservices, orms vs plain sql, etc., managers tend to do the same, although perhaps it's not that obvious.
