Yeah, a thing I implemented years ago to handle the ability to hide the side nav on wide screens never worked quite the way I expected. Making it not do that except when specifically toggling the nav has always been on the “to-do”, just never made it to the top of my priority list.

So, I fully understand why someone would rather shut down their site rather than potentially deal with the legal fallout. Even if the end result is "just getting shut down", that will come after a significant amount of legal troubles, and likely money spent dealing with them.
Authenticity is not a great guide for living. Psychopaths are authentic, but no one of sound mind would praise them for it. Our motives are not always pure and good, and our culture's feels-before-reals elevation of "authenticity" into a supreme virtue has been a source of much grief.

Now, having the courage to act according to what you know by prudence is the right and just thing to do is something else. Here, you are acting according to what is objectively good, and not only that, but what you know is objectively good. And yes, you could say that acting out of genuine courage does make a person feel more alive, as he isn't shrinking out of fear and cowardice. He is acting against the comfort of mediocrity, and as we all know, a little danger and risk does get the blood moving.

I doubt this. Legislation is written by committee and passed by democracy. Most of the voting public don't look up the voting records which are available to them. Most of the voting public can't name a third of the members of parliament.

But why must the deception take place? Evolution is natural, The development of AI generated videos takes teams of people, years of effort and millions of pounds. Why should those that are more easily deceived be culled? Do you believe that the future of technology is weeding out the weak? Do you believe the future of humanity is the existence of only those that can use the technologies we develop? You might very well find yourself in a position, a long time from now, where you are easily deceived by newer technologies that you are not familiar with.
>Parametric CAD is basically functional programming.

It very sadly is not. Parametric CAD does not have the invariants that functional programming has. If you insert an operation in the timeline, which changes e.g. the number of faces, the CAD software can only guess to which faces the operations after it apply. In functional programming you explicitly state which elements you mean, in Parametric CAD this is done by guessing.

OpenSCAD is functional programming, it also is orders of magnitude less powerful than Fusion360.
It would need to:
* Survive without oxygen
* Propel itself without using wings
* Store enough energy for the long trip and upkeep of the below
* Insulation that can handle the radiation and temperature fluctuations
* Have a form of skin that can withstand the pressure change from earth to space and then the moon
* Have eyes that don't pop while in space

It would need to become something literally extraterrestrial that has not evolved in the 3.7b+ years prior.

I wouldn't say it's impossible, but if evolution ever got there that creature would be so far removed from a bird that I don't think we'd recognize it :p

> Just like passwords. What is the difference ?

>> Passkeys can't be to short, in contrast to passwords

> So a "long password" is a "passkey" ?

Of course not.

Passkeys are effectively just key pairs defined by a FIDO standard. It’s much more productive to think of passkeys as mutual certificate authentication designed for use by the masses.

If you’ve ever used a Yubikey for primary authentication, you’ve already used a passkey.

It was not a comment about "growth". It was a comment about function.

The article's claims, to which you were drawing a parallel, are about growth, not function. Now you're basically saying you're not actually drawing a parallel and the rest of it is very difficult to follow, it reads to me that mostly you want to call HN authoritarian (which, ok, but not very interesting on its own) but for reasons I can't quite put my finger on, you'd prefer not do anything about it - things like, say, proposing an alternative design or sending an email are right out.
This seems to be going in circles…

Who gets to define “protect the people”…?
I so heartily agree - when my brother was dying I was at a loss to know what to say - we didn't share a lot of history as he 'joined' the family later in life - but just chatting rubbish helped him hugely.

Later a friend was dying and when she could no longer talk, I'd head out for a walk and just describe what I could see, what my plans were, and great things I remembered from our past - I wasn't able to visit, but her parents said she really enjoyed the voice notes she got - almost as much as the visitors.

But if you can see people, just do it. Not long ago my mum decided to try and visit a whole heap of friends across England, just as she realised after my dad died, that she never knew the last time she'd see these people - and wanted it to be occasions they both enjoyed, before too much time had passed. I loved the idea.

Very clever, very meta, and it seems to work really well.

The two big take-aways for me are:

* It's possible to train a model to learn to summarize context from the attention matrix, based only on dot-product scores (k @ q.T * mask), regardless of how tokens are embedded.

* Once the model is trained, it will work with any attention matrix, even if it's the attention matrix of another model.

I've added this to my ever-growing list of things to try.

This is false, you don't need a notary to do real estate transactions in most of the West.

Also it's sort of moot, the notary effectively just puts a stamp on it. If I write up a quit claim deed, there exists no mechanism to prove my ownership of that anyways
Interesting. Those discussions are completely normal and welcomed at my company. It’s never even occurred to me to be hesitant about being candid because of notes / transcripts, and I see similarly direct comments from all people of all levels of seniority and background.

I get it, and if turning off notes makes people more open that sounds like the right thing to do.
If provisioned concurrency is used, then fetching the database at startup would be a valid strategy given you could still achieve flat response times.

The key itself, but the standard explicitly supports platforms, browsers, or password managers handling authentication to permit key use.

For example you can have a passkey where the private key is on a security token protected with a PIN or biometry.

You can have a private key live in a secure element on an endpoint too.

You could make a browser plugin that requires no auth whatsoever if you wished.

Show HN: Repocheck – a CLI tool to get an overview of your local Git repos
I built a CLI tool that lists out all the local git repos within a directory in an easy to read table format including relevant information such as last modified date and the status of branches in the repo, along with whether it is synced with remote or not.

It also includes a bunch of flags to get exactly what you want in the format you want.

I got this idea as I was trying organize the large amount of local git repos I had. I also found it particularly useful when traveling since I use a different device. In these cases, it is really helpful to know which local git repos I forgot to push commits or have fallen behind the remote version.

Hope you find it really useful, let me know if you like it and also if you have any feedback for it!

If you have an ISBN you can also check Worldcat, but at scale it's also probably not free. And if you're working with anything that might have an academic slant, Crossref can be useful.

Book metadata is very challenging. Even the publishers of said books are pretty bad at delivering good metadata.
It is so good to see someone say that. I don’t code anymore, but as a systems engineer on different (often troubled) projects, I started developing a bit of a specialty in deleting crufty old collections of files. Sometimes multiple terabytes in a day, directories sitting around looking like they might be important, in some random corner of storage.

You have to be good at your job, good at the specialty, and more interested in doing the right thing for the company (and more irritated at the stupidity of the files being there 10 years after they were needed) than you are at looking productive to management. Management does not want to hear “well there was a directory structure of two million files that was a backup of a Linux machine from 8 years ago, I spent two days extracting the dozen files that we might need some day, getting the okay to proceed, and deleting the files.”
> Passkeys not only offer an improved user experience by letting you sign in faster with your ... PIN, but they also aren’t susceptible to the same kinds of attacks as passwords.

I don't know about you, but a PIN is pretty much a password in my book.

Once I figured out that I can use a password with Windows, I stopped using my PIN. (I didn't use Windows for about a decade.) It's much easier to remember.

Even worse, on Windows, I'll only use passkeys on sites where I can use a Yubikey. If the passkey requires a PIN, I don't bother. I just can't be bothered to remember it.

Otherwise, on Mac, my passkey supports my fingerprint sensor. Much easier.
I’ve found some minor inaccuracies, but nothing catastrophic enough to make me think I’d be better off without them.
Facts Grounding: A new benchmark for evaluating the factuality of LLMs
Oh interesting! My background is northeast US; the wake (a.k.a. calling hours) precedes the funeral, typically the evening prior. There's no food, it's not religious (held at the funeral home), and well-wishers stop by for the reasons you mentioned. There's a sign-up sheet for those who will be attending the funeral.

There is also a reception at a restaurant immediately after the funeral; this is almost strictly for close friends and family though.
Politics is a game of making coalitions. People may be in favor of a law for disparate reasons. Take a law against prostitition. One person may be in favor of it to reduce trafficking. Another to reduce premarital sex. A third to reduce husbands' opportunities to cheat. A fourth to reduce the spread of std's.

On the other side there may be one person that wants to have sex with prostitutes himself, another that believes women should be able to do what they want with their bodies, a third that believes prostitutes can be an important way for young men to gain sexual experience and skill, a fourth that thinks prostitution is bad but legalization to be a way of harm reduction.

Not all of these people may be willing to admit their reasoning in writing. You could say that only following the written down reasoning is a feature. I haven't thought a lot about that subject, so I haven't made up my mind on it.
Support would be the biggest thing, especially if the website needed any kind of login, payment, or user contributions. Back when we ran a website for UK schools (so, probably 50K-100K users maximum), we only answered support calls or emails during UK working hours, and still needed a 2-3 member team doing that. That was a shoestring even at the time. Nowadays just the safety aspect of running a service for children would demand something larger.

> the Bill of Rights only works because it's been endlessly litigated, developing a large body of specific interpretaions.

As a follow-on to that, it is still being litigated and the interpretations continue to shift over time.

For example, it wasn't until relatively recently that the Court began reading the Second Amendment in such a way as to limit the ability of jurisdictions to enact laws that prevent people from carrying firearms most places. Similarly, there is a current push to change the interpretation of the Fourteenth Amendment as well.

Your central point is key: The Law is more about the judiciary's current understanding of what's written than what is actually written.
I think of case law as like a git repo of every function and subroutine anyone ever wrote. So on one hand it makes sense to need a specialized education to use it (so we don't waste time arguing the same noob points over and over).

But on the other hand, you shouldn't need a law degree and bar license to sue an insurance company to pay up. Their client hit you, you're injured, now pay up or have a judge order you to. But the lawmen have carved out their own moat that puts ordinary people in a position to rely on them.

When you log into a site with a password, you're needing to transmit your actual password over the wire. Sure, you'll hopefully have encryption when sending that credential over, but in the end you'll be exchanging your actual password with some remote service. That remote service might be misconfigured, it might be misdesigned, it might be under attacker control. Now they have your whole credential.

A passkey doesn't transmit your actual, full, repeatable credential over the wire. It's a challenge-response protocol, so only that one authenticated session would be intercepted. Kill all questionable sessions and you're good, they're not reusing it.
Typically we expect people or companies who commit crimes to be subject to different levels of oversight than those that don’t.

When I went toe-to-toe with a debt collector, I quickly discovered that many laws are vaguely written by lawyers to encourage litigation.

The language in both the federal and state debt collection laws was so ambiguous that my research only lead me to consumer agencies saying I needed to ask an attorney. Or, I would find court cases where both sides argued over the language but the settlement did not alter the law, so I would have to litigate when push came to shove.

I stood my ground with the debt collector on refusing to pay interest on medical debt after paying off said debt, but they never admitted I was right, and I am still baffled by their arguments that only an attorney could navigate.

Maybe (I was raised Catholic), but I also attended a wake of a teacher of mine who was Jewish (culturally if not religiously).
