The general un-user-manageability of keys makes passkeys such a failure to start.

Ideally I'd want to be able to sign up and add three keys right away, backed by different devices stored in different places. At the moment though I'd need to relay around one key & go through each websites custom flow to add the next key.

This isn't going to work. This isn't viable. It's not enough.

If users could manage/export their own keys maybe they can send newly provisioned keys to off-site backups. But we still have to go navigate and provision extra keys on your website. There needs to be a way to present/enroll multiple keys all at once. And ideally standard endpoints for further management of passkeys on sites.

We are already seeing some very minimal client/website management-ish coordinations forming. WebAuthn is adding signals, so the client will know it can de-list some Passkeys that go inactive. https://groups.google.com/a/chromium.org/d/msgid/blink-dev/C...
Using plutonium works great but there are two issues. 1) they don’t output that much power. Few hundred watts at most, and they decay at a fixed rate. 2) you need to get your hands on a decent amount of plutonium. Great for dirty bombs, hard to source.
> Newbie, inexperienced developers write complex code. Experienced, seasoned developers write simple code

This is a really inaccurate generalization. Maybe you could say something about excess complexity, but all problems have some level of irreducible complexity that code fundamentally had to reflect.
Yes, but it’s also higher than many of the European countries listed.
This probably can happen as soon as there’s some manufacturing and mining capacity beyond LEA, so that it’s safe to use nuclear technology without any environmental impact. Moon is an option here, so likely it’s 5-15 years after first Moon base is established (I‘d expect exponential growth of it).
do I interpret the screenshots correctly: that's a whopping 2.5 millisecond delay?
It is quite logical. Budapest Memorandum signed in 1994 where UK, USA and Russia guaranteed sovereignty and territorial integrity of Ukraine in exchange for nuclear weapons on Ukrainian soil which remained there after dissolution of USSR. If Russia wants to renege on Budapest Memorandum, Ukraine should get their nukes back.

Also you can see another side of the coin - Iran and DPRK would need to be insane to get rid of their nukes because only reason why big powers won't touch them is the nuclear poison pill, which Ukrainians gave up and look where they are.
Oversimplifying can be great at times. In this case, the lambda-calculus model (which is the base for this type of "everything is just a function" approach) is a great model of computation because it is so simple, while being easy to handle /reason about (compared to eg. Turing machines), which is why it is at the base of most computer logic/proof systems

Growth doesn’t have to depend on finite resources. Growth is simply more value being exchanged. You can have sustainable growth.

Plus the human population will soon be drastically contracting anyway.

Abandoning the only system since the birth of humanity to bring prosperity to billions in favour of one which has repeatedly be an utter failure, systematically lead to totalitarianism and is responsible for millions of death might not be the wisest choice especially when it’s pushed by people who think they should be amongst the rulers due to their moral superiority.

Not sure how much additional real estate they can capture due to limited resources (especially manpower).

But this gives them a better chance of holding what they have and destroying the Russian logistics and infrastructure.

Hopefully the European powers and the UK will lift any restrictions that they have imposed and provide additional supplies.

The overlapping CSS suggestions had the most thumbs up, but did not seem to make it into the candidates.

They use the words vote and community, but actually taking them seriously means accepting the Boaty McBooatface when it happens.

I liked the offset logos because they served just as well as logos and were a good humoured nod towards CSS issues that it would be worthwhile keeping in mind for a bit of humility.

I'm surprised you had a working experience with passkeys. Every time my iPhone asks me to use a Passkey I just get "something went wrong" or some obtuse error message. It has never worked a single time and I just gave up.
So the approach is:

As other commenters have pointed out, the question itself might be pointless. The article makes the same mistake, trying to frame lucid dreaming around some supposed benefits it provides. But this craving for benefits is just a product of the ego. There’s a deeper layer to it—simply experiencing reality is already profound enough on its own. And being more aware of this beautiful reality during your lifetime, instead of literally being asleep at the wheel, is pretty amazing.
I would suggest that you are the one who just made it partisan. I'm in the UK personally, but I can immediately tell which side of the political spectrum you are, given the reflexive defence.
Our response to a global pandemic was a disaster other than getting the vaccines made. The most recent large scale collective effort to defeat an existential threat prior to that was probably WWII. We’ve gotten pretty good at waging war but I fear that’s probably where our evolution in the matter of dealing with existential threats will probably remain.
Technology is not going to get us out of this mess.
Where the libraries are new/not known to the LLM yet, I just go find the most similar examples in the docs and chuck them in the context window too (easy to do with aider.) Then say 'fix it'. Does an incredible job.
After reading this comment I wonder how much making Ozempic free for all would affect global CO2 emissions.
your face is the pin code, not the passkey.

it unlocks the cryptographically secure device, it doesn't replace it. to access your passkey through faceid, they have to steal your phone, unlock your phone, and then spoof faceID.
WTF does a markup standard need its own logo for Pete's sake anyway.
Imagine if we had a logo for every bloody RFC internet standard. Little colored round-cornered squares with HTTP/TLS/SMTP/IMAP/LDAP stamped in each of them.

The web community is obsessed with this "neat, tidy" shit while the all the standards involved (HTML, JS, CSS etc) are a dog's breakfast.
A good reason is the lack of availability of the needed isotope (Pu238).

The Europa Clipper has a huge array of solar panels instead of an RTG due to the last of the available supply going into the New Horizons spacecraft.

Pu238 was a cast-off isotope from nuclear weapons development so it was more readily available during the cold war. We should be happy that it's scarce now.

Also solar panels have gotten a lot better than they were when Voyager was launched, but even today anything going out past Saturn is not going to be able to use solar energy.

In this case, the chap made a point that many people (including myself) disagree with, but in a fashion that I think is right in line with the way we should deal with each other.

I just think people downvote posts they disagree with, or because they have some animus with the poster (I have a couple of downvote stalkers, myself, and it's sometimes amusing to see which posts they hit).
> Creating a legal responsibility for Coca Cola to clean up the billions of plastic bottles it produces annually, on the other hand, could change the world.

It would change the world in a sense of Coca Cola either going bankrupt, or shrinking to the point of irrelevance, succumbing to competitive pressure of corporations that aren't forced to do such cleanups.

Edit: Do better, HN. Explain why you disagree. This argument is a delusional meme, as if people were not the primary consumers of corporations' products. Corporations are reactionary at best and believing there's 0% responsibility on the consumer is a 5 year old child mentality.
Availability :) a RTG requires Plutonium 238, which needs to ne created almost on purpose in a nucleare reactor. Not all nations have this ability or they are running such expensive programs. Also in the USA they are reserved for programs where there is very little light available
I actually dislike lucid dreaming; it's not as restful and it's often difficult to return to restful sleep once you're aware.
Isn't it something like space-reactor plutonium is a waste product from nuclear weapons production, and since we don't really make nuclear weapons at scale anymore, we aren't really making (refining?) plutonium anymore. And NASA has some amount on reserve, but they're rationing it out carefully. So the Clipper probe had to go with a massive solar array (100ft, the length of a basketball court) because they would rather save their plutonium for some future rover mission.
> banks are known to be subject to regulation wrt. accounts, they can't just shut you out and pretend you were never there (in contrast to e.g. Google which can, and does)

Exactly. Banks are required to have what's called fiduciary responsibility. They have legal obligations to fix their mistakes. They can't provide their services "as is, with no warranty".

A friend who runs a bank branch for a major bank says that about a quarter of her day is spent dealing with people who had some kind of error or scam problem. All routine transactions are automated, and there are only about two teller windows in a branch now. What bank branch staff actually do is sell loans, and customer support. That customer support is not optional. There are bank regulators who will punish banks if they don't do it.
> Using the military to protect the border in no way means "use the military domestically to retain power and clean out the US".

Let me break this down:

The military would be deployed domestically, to clean out immigrants and some citizens. Remember, both Trump and Tom Homan have alluded to deporting naturalized citizens.

So how does it not mean that? Even if you disagree, can you see how and why I am making that claim and how it's logically consistent with what Trump has said.

> For example, if they promise one thing you want and is achievable, plus one thing you don't want but is impossible anyway, then it can be rational to vote for them to get the thing you want and also not get the thing you don't want.

You're working under the assumption the impossible cannot be made possible.

The left claims that Trump has his eyes on a dictatorship because of this difference between the left and right. The left believes Trump when he says you won't need to vote anymore and they believe Project 2025. The right thinks Trump is a liar.

I'm not saying the US will be a dictatorship. But, if you actually look at Project 2025, which will be and already is the template for the Trump presidency, it is very shocking.

Trump supporters have so far been able to employ plausible deniability. Now that Trump has made it clear he will dissolve the department of education and he has already committed to appointing many Project 2025 writers to his administration, the plausible deniability is gone.

If you're hoping the left steps in to stop a lot of Trump's policies, you shouldn't have voted for him.
No it's suggesting giving Ukraine effective deterrent power, which is the opposite of nuclear war.
Most of the inflation from the last 4 years is attributable to Russia invading Ukraine. You can't have the largest natural gas exporter and second largest oil exporter invade one of the largest grain exporters without causing basically everything in a supermarket or restaurant to be more expensive.

Show HN: Animus – Interactive Workbooks
TLDR: make interactive worksheets based on an image of your textbook or a prompt.

This was a quick experiment I found myself doing after I found myself using ChatGPT with images from a workbook to help with some language study. I though it should be possible to have the LLM make an entire interactive worksheet for me, and it can... kind of.

I found this hit some of the edge cases of LLMs: they're so useful when you can use them in a "lossy" manner, but if the LLM generates a worksheet that's just a little off, or imports the wrong library, it all falls apart. e.g. I made a little demo video, and you can see the LLM felt a badge/chip would be a good way to display feedback this time, with amusing results:

https://rjp.io/static/animus-demo.mp4

With more time I'd probably change it to be more of a interactive tool: a la Claude, let the user interact with the LLM to progressively build the desired workflow and edit the result. With the right sort of "form language" I think it could be genuinely useful... but that's not where it is today!

It's not my best work, but I thought it was a fun experiment and wanted to share!

Climate change denialism is not a natural state of mind, it was deliberately manufactured by people who stand to keep the status quo[1].

China is currently at the forefront of deploying renewable energy. They install more Solar than rest of the world combined. They are investing 100s of Billions in manufacturing cheaper solar panels and batteries. China now has >50% new cars sold as EVs.

China sees this as an opportunity and delivering on it. Meanwhile majority of Americans voted for Trump, the sentiment is anti climate change and 'drill baby drill!'.

The cheaper Solar and batteries become, the more they get deployed. Like we solved hole in the Ozone, I'm optimistic we'll transition to a net zero energy future but pessimistic that US may get left behind and it'll be too late for many of the industries to compete with China. We are too short term focused.

A movement of violent uprising resulted in the USA's independence. The standing army and state militias stayed. It was mostly peaceful, until the slave-owning faction tried to revolt. We've only had that one real civil war, so overall the violent movement seems to have worked out pretty well for us.
> Did Reddit/HN or any other link aggregator take away news sites? That's all RSS is.

Both of those have thriving comment sections and would be completely irreverent without them. Further, it's a known problem for both of those sites that people will not read the article and instead riff of the title. I'd wager the final 50% of every article could be removed and it wouldn't significantly change the comment sections here.

> Similar to how users "chose" to use the official reddit app when they removed 90% of third party ones.

Yes they did, they chose to use those apps and chose to continue using Reddit in general despite its shitty behaviour. The alternatives just aren't good enough.
It's a common trope to blame MBAs for all the ills in the world.

But the reality is that having a moat and how to defend it is a fundamental strategy that every CEO is expected to know. Because it will be one of the first things you get asked from YC, investors etc.

I understand your point and I have also long held the point of view, but have recently learned that this isn't the right framing. You - as a citizen - don't need to reduce your consumption, but we as a society must manage that all activities are priced properly.

One example is air traffic. If you don't consume an available flight, then you don't actually help the climate, because somebody else will buy the seat at a lower price. This is just market economics. To reduce flying the society already has put Carbon credits out there for airlines to buy if they want to fly from A to B. These credits reflect the cost which society puts on flying currently.

That's an... uncharitable interpretation of the phrase "semi-colon language".

The comment made sense to me: it's not at all about semicolons, but the semicolon isn't a bad marker to distinguish between language families. It's closely related to expression- vs statement-focused languages, which if you squint is similar to the distinction between imperative and functional languages. Though the latter distinction is less relevant here, I'm just using it to point out that semicolon syntax is suggestive of semantics, even if it is itself just a superficial bit of syntax.

You are correctly describing the awareness of resource management as an important characteristic, but that resource management is heavily intertwined with how values flow through the language syntax, which brings us back to expressions vs statements.

Please take the added complexity and combinations seriously. App developers need to update their testing procedures to test all the combinations of login approaches over many different implementations (browsers, operating systems, hardware tokens, local vs remote, etc).

The traditional username, password flow could be tested once and work nearly everywhere.

As an example, I’ve been helping QA a webauthn issue on Wikipedia, that leads to potential account lock-out, due to passkeys not getting published to the various wiki sites completely. encountered <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T358771>

Fewer than 100 Wikipedia editors use webauthn , so the issue doesn’t receive much attention.

When implementing webauthn, QA testing , customer telemetry, customer onboarding & customer support all need much more investment to provide the same level of service.

> These tools produce non-working code more often than not (OpenAI's flagship models are not even correct 50% of the time[1]), so you still have to read, understand and debug their output.

Definitely, but what LLMs provide me that a purely textual interface can't is discoverability.

A significant advantage of GUIs is that I get to see a list of things I can do, and the task becomes figuring out which ones are going to solve my problem. For programming languages, that's usually not the case (there's documentation, but that isn't usually as nested and context sensitive as a GUI is), and LLMs are very good at bridging that gap.

So even if an LLM provides me a broken SQL query for a given task, more often than not it's exposed me to new keywords or concepts that did in fact end up solving my problem.

A hand-crafted GUI is definitely still superior to any chat-based interface (and this is in fact a direction I predict AI models will be moving to going forward), but if nobody builds one, I'll take an LLM plus a CLI and/or documentation over only the latter any day.
Every lucid dream I have becomes a nightmare. When I suddenly gain consciousness in a dream I begin to panic and the atmosphere turns sinister.

You can see this as replacing an inductive type with its recursor's function type. It's pretty cool in type theory, but not so good for actually programming stuff.
The usual workflow I see skeptic folks take is throw a random sentence and expect the LLM to correctly figure out the end result. And then just keep sending small chunks of code expanding the context with poor instructions.

LLMs are tools that need to be learned. Good prompts aren’t hard, but they do take some effort to build.
