No local backup? Do you rely on the network working all the time?

I do something similar on the mobile phone (the reasining is, if there's no network, there's nothing I need to login to) but I also keep a local copy on my laptop (that I sometimes operate with limited connectivity). Without any automatic syncing, one of the two copies will be stale.
> Interesting, I've always felt that browser-based password managers provided remarkably little value for most people.

They provide the value of "you should, by design, have no idea what most of your passwords are; if you know any significant number of your passwords you probably have bad passwords".

And both Firefox and Chrome sync passwords between devices.

The original Firefox sync worked like this (with a unique code and pairing instead of an explicit account) (this is so on the nose I suspect you may know this).

This blog post goes over some of that history: https://blog.mozilla.org/services/2014/04/30/firefox-syncs-n...
There are two points here. The first is due to AIPAC. I would say the second is debatable.
The biggest time sink for me is validating answers so not sure I agree on that take.

Fast iteration is a killer feature, for sure, but at this time I'd rather focus on quality for it to be worthwhile the effort.
You're correct, with two small clarifications:

1. In a nutshell, Asana and Monday are board-based tools suited for project management, where people can see most tasks simultaneously and then choose what to work on.

Pneumatic, on the other hand, builds sequences, so my task only comes to me when it’s time for me to act. This templated sequence can be run repeatedly (manually or triggered by external events) to achieve predictable results.

2. We use Pneumatic to manage our development process :)
It turns out someone has written a plugin for my LLM CLI tool already: https://github.com/irthomasthomas/llm-cerebras

You need an API key - I got one from https://cloud.cerebras.ai/ but I'm not sure if there's a waiting list at the moment - then you can do this:

pipx install llm # or brew install llm or uv tool install llm
llm install llm-cerebras
llm keys set cerebras
# paste key here

Then you can run lightning fast prompts like this:

llm -m cerebras-llama3.1-70b 'an epic tail of a walrus pirate'

Apple has lied to shareholders before, remember those "what happens on your iPhone, stays on your iPhone" billboards back in the day they used to fool everyone into thinking Apple cares about privacy? A couple years later, they were proudly announcing how everyone's iPhone will scan their files and literally send them to law enforcement if they match some opaque government-controlled database of hashes (yes, they backed out of that plan eventually, but not before massive public outcry and going through a few "you're holding it wrong" explanations).

Any chance you could sketch to me why SM works with SR but not GR? Curvature?

[squinting hard enough, is the Wick Theorem related to how algebraically, given pairs (2-things, and hence rel'ns) one automatically gets all finite n-things?]

[another squint: separated at birth: space-ordered vs normal-ordered, and all the sign gymnastics* in computer graphics geometry, where re-ordering matters and vertices are connected by digons of two half-edges?]

is there anything related to the notion that one might have a bunch of geodesic paths connecting events, but that we might apply creation and annihilation to these as well, so fewer geodesics would lead to positive curvatures and more to negative?

* what I like about my algebraic CS model is that I often skim systems papers, and think, "oh, this is just exploiting this particular instance of distributivity..."

> There are systems that can do RAG for you

My experience with Copilot (which is admittedly a few months outdated; I never tried Cursor but will soon) shows that it’s really good at inline completion and producing boilerplate for me but pretty bad at understanding or even recognizing the existence of scaffolding and business logic already present in my projects.

> but I mostly just paste exactly what I want the model to know into a prompt.

Does this include the work you do on your larger projects? Do those larger projects fit entirely within the context window? If not, without RAG, how do you effectively prompt a model to recognize or know about the relevant context of larger projects?

For example, say I have a class file that includes dozens of imports from other parts of the project. If I ask the model to add a method that should rely upon other components of the project, how does the model know what’s important without RAG? Do I just enumerate every possible relevant import and include a summary of their purpose? That seems excessively burdensome given the purported capabilities of these models. It also seems unlikely to result in reasonable code unless I explicitly document each callable method’s signature and purpose.

For what it’s worth, I know I’ve been pretty skeptical during our conversations but I really appreciate your feedback and the work you’ve been doing; it’s helping me recognize both the limitations of my own knowledge and the limitations of what I should reasonably expect from the models. Thank you, again.
I'm from a non-English country. I only ever use layout of my locale when I write in my language. That's how it was ever since I was a kid who knew little English. And that's how all computers I've encountered in my country are set up - English first, local second.

In addition, our layout, overwrites only the numerics – all other symbols are the same as on a US layout.

>That is a... beautiful laptop. It looks modern.

No, it doesn't. It looks better in certain important ways:

1) the keyboard has real keys, not those stupid "island" keys that are all the rage now.

2) the screen has a taller aspect ratio, which is better for actual computing work, whereas laptops these days all have wide screens because of economies of scale with TVs and because people want to watch HD video full-screen instead of doing real work.

This looks more similar to machines from the golden age of laptops, which was probably between 2000 and 2010.
It's not really relevant to the article, but I find the orange lighting and brushed finish of a Nakamichi Dragon beautiful.
I’ve got a family member who’s been an underpaid postdoc their entire professional career going on 30 years and another stuck in banking for a decade after a physics PhD. I’m intimately familiar with the reality. Neither of them regret their education or the effort they put in.

There’s no good accomplished by restricting education and professional certification to artificially restrict supply. All it does is create perverse incentives and harm the public good.
On the one hand, I think that it would be a winning strategy. On the other, that effectively turns C++ part of the Rust language. And that is even before looking at the need to extend the Rust compiler to express things that the Rust language doesn't have/need but C++ does, like move constructors.

> Maybe I'm not understanding the use case. I don't want to "take the train".

The use case is routine. A lot of people, most of the time, do indeed want to "take the train". Heroic feats of real-time planning have their place, and it's great to have tools that help you with that, but routine can be covered with much simpler tools just as well.

Even in the Tokyo scenario you gave (which is fascinating -- thank you!) Google gives 30-40 min. for most public transit options, so for rough planning they're all equivalent. Taxi is faster, and bicycle is almost at par.
it just works for websites. it does not "just work" for apps where as the platform ones do or have a chance to work with apps.

Kind of hope regulation will force apple/google/ms to allow iterations for 3rd parties to integrate with the os but on the other hand that will open a host of issues
The Pi 4 still makes sense for 35$ if your use case doesn't require power but still requires something more featured than a esp32 or rp2040. Most of my Pis are either video displays or 3d printer controllers, so I'll keep getting Pi 4s for these. Maybe the 3A+, I like the form factor of that one.
Just one thing: you mentioned the "girls" (in fact soldiers) with "bloody pants" in your previous comment. It's quite a stretch to go from bloody pants to "victim of rape".

Indeed, this picture came out much later:

https://www.instagram.com/israelmfa/p/C7Q1v38tKql/

Shows what appears to be the famous "bloody pants" soldier sitting on the floor close to other presumably injured soldiers after some sort of combat. Isn't that the most obvious way of getting "bloody pants"? Why the leap from those to unfounded rape accusations?
without more info you can't know that. further. I want to go to one app. If I want to go to Geary and 24th, there is no train. I don't want to have to take the extra step of thinking about where I want to go and then having to choose the appropriate app. one app will do

But you're assuming that it'll always ne validated by humans. I'd imagine that most validation (and subsequent processing, especially going forward) will be done on machines.

Screensharing was the main blocker back then.

Never noticed a difference in terms of snappiness or tearing.

Nowadays I have a nvidia gpu and wayland + proprietary drivers has tons of issues, so I switched to x11.

I could probably use the integrated gpu (amd) to drive the desktop and use nvidia purely for ai/ml (which would free up some extra vram) but then I can't play videogames on the nvidia card.

Built-in password managers don’t work across apps. They only work for the browsers they’re built into.

The people I know in similar situations regret their choices, or are at least are a little bitter.

Let me put it this way: if their dreams are going to be destroyed, it's best to do that as soon a possible. Putting that off makes things worse, not better.

Part of the neoliberal consensus that replaced progressive liberalism in the 1970s and 80s is a revisionist reframing of antitrust law in which all monopolies are judged solely by the yardstick of consumer welfare. Problem is, very few monopolies actually harm consumer welfare. Bigger businesses are able to deliver lower prices - at least initially - because they suck the redundancy out of the market. Ergo, consolidation is good actually and antitrust is self-defeating.

Of course, those prices will creep up eventually, once the causal link between the consolidation and the market power has been sufficiently obscured. Look at "inflation" - every business was able to blame "supply chain issues" (that they caused by removing redundancies) during COVID to extract unthinkable price increases out of the public. Because every business has only two or three real competitors, all of whom have extreme levels of class discipline and will agree to lie their asses off to the public.

This level of consolidation was allowed because your politicians stabbed you in the back in the name of the """free""" market.

It's a valid concern. Especially if you use the same BW for password and TOTP for the same service, you've effectively reduced 2 factors to 1. If you really must sync both your TOTP secrets and your passwords, those should be completely separate systems.

You’re right, that’s potentially a correctness issue as well. Ideally we’d have a creation interface that would also perform the pre-existence check atomically, so there would be no need for the separate check in advance and the potential race condition would not exist. This does depend on the user service providing a convenient interface like that, though, and alas we aren’t always that lucky.

Per their use in MREs, yeah, nicotine is a really good drug to have when you're likely to be in combat in the next four or so hours. It drives blood to the core and away from the periphery, it heightens alertness, it increases testosterone, and there are a lot of other effects.

Like all drugs, there are bad parts and good parts to it. Since most people are hopefully never going to be shot, it's positive effects are mostly useless and the long term negative effects will kill you. But if you have a reasonable suspicion that you are going to be in mortal danger soon, yeah, I'd have a cigarette.
> How can anyone verify that all the code paths append to the log? I'm pretty sure they can just not append to the log from their ExfiltrateDataForAdvertisment() and ExfiltrateDataForGovernments() functions.

I think we have different understandings of what the transparency log is utilized for.

The log is used effectively as an append-only hash set of trusted software hashes a PCC node is allowed to run, accomplished using Merkle Trees. The client device (iPhone) uses the log to determine if the software measurements from an attestation should be rejected or not.

If you're using an LLM as a compressed version of a search index, you'll be constantly fighting hallucinations. Respectfully, you're not thinking big-picture enough.

There are LLMs today that are amazing at coding, and when you allow it to iterate (eg. respond to compiler errors), the quality is pretty impressive. If you can run an LLM 3x faster, you can enable a much bigger feedback loop in the same period of time.

There are efforts to enable LLMs to "think" by using Chain-of-thought, where the LLM writes out reasoning in a "proof" style list of steps. Sometimes, like with a person, they'd reach a dead-end logic wise. If you can run 3x faster, you can start to run the "thought chain" as more of a "tree" where the logic is critiqued and adapted, and where many different solutions can be tried. This can all happen in parallel (well, each sub-branch).

Then there are "agent" use cases, where an LLM has to take actions on its own in response to real-world situations. Speed really impacts user-perception of quality.
