> That's incorrect. I use passkeys to login automagically with many services, but nothing precludes me from logging in with my (20 character) passwords.

That is not the world which passkey advocates envision. In the case of those services you mention, passkeys are nothing but convenience; they provide no extra security. In the world passkey advocates envision, passkeys improve security, meaning the removal of password authentication options.

I've already been temporarily locked out by one such service, because a Firefox update made the passkeys I store in Bitwarden inaccessible (Firefox would pop up a macOS Touch ID modal rather than the Bitwarden passkey). That is the world which passkey advocates want, because it "improves security".
I'm really enjoying this.

A user-interface wishlist item: I keep wishing for the ability to hit the up arrow to get the previous line I just entered (and hit up repeatedly to get lines before that).

(The "editor" mode helps with this, and I ended up switching to that.)
An open source community cannot out market big vendors. But can certainly out execute and the judicious engineers will continue making choices based on technical evaluations, to keep it going.

I’d be very surprised if delta goes away, since iceberg still is not feature complete to replace it. Databricks has somewhat of a confusing position now, which is hurting themselves. It’d be interesting to watch.
I repeated my search just now and got the following list of sources:

- https://www.maths.tcd.ie/~eoin/index/isi_793rfc81.html

This list is different from my previous search yesterday, so I don't doubt that in your case you got different sources than me. It does look like the sources include mirrors of the RFC hosted by arc-it.net and tech-invite.com. I do not recognize these domains and would much prefer to see an ietf.org domain instead (which is also the first Google result in my case).
There is a debate on the meaning, but one that has not yet made it's way to the Supreme Court who will ultimately decide.

The nuance that you run into is that legal opinion defining what 'subject to the jurisdiction of the US' means (from the 14th amendment) was made in 1898, but at that time the border was relatively open.

Immigration restrictions started amping up exponentially in the 20th century, especially amidst the world wars. It seems unlikely that the court would have ruled as it did in the context of these new laws.
I think they were going for „giving legal advice while not being a lawyer“, not the suggestion of judge shopping.
If by new you mean a completely different mechanism which does not share the privacy considerations of a single sign on service, yes. If you care about privacy, passkeys are a much better option.

> Writing laws to cover complex situations is really not THAT different from writing software.

I’ve done software (a lot) and worked in a legislative office (a little), they are extremely different.

> Laws are programs.

Laws are not programs, or even meaningfully analogous to anything so deterministic. They are more like, if we must make a computing analogy, components of prompt templates (other portions of which will be filled by evidence and…well, a bunch of other stuff you don’t control when writing the laws) that will be used by an extremely high temperature LLM. Which you can’t actually test freely against, though you can observe past behavior – but, even then, you are stymied by the fact that the LLM itself is constantly updated with retrained, and sometimes rearchitected, versions, without useful release notes.
OpenStreetMap is now back up and running :-)
I once worked with a dev that implemented his own forEach in JavaScript. And literally used an ECMAScript version 6 feature to do so! (native forEach in JS showed up in ECMAScript 5) Meanwhile, that project already had jQuery and Underscore... which also had their own versions of forEach! It was a bizarre choice.
It'd just be nice if it was consensual. It is resource intensive to try to opt out of/avoid the ad-based society. And you never truly can as some data sharing and ad watching is almost compulsory (video/sound ads at gas pumps).

To be fair, I've gotten some great ads for things I never would have found myself, on places like Instagram. And yet I didn't get to choose when or how the ads were delivered.
Good luck enforcing that against dropshippers and in China. Even the largest brands on this rock struggle with IP theft, fakes and trademark abuse.

This is a partisan political article.

>supposed anti-conservative bias.

CNN and MSNBC are at all time low viewership, reported trust in the media is at a historic low. This mistrust is due to intense partisan bias in most news sources.

Fox News started it and every other news source ended up copying them. Now we are in a disastrous state where journalists have mostly become partisan propagandists and nobody trusts them.

It’s bad and honestly the whole system should be reworked. Some kind of fairness doctrine needs to be reintroduced.

Ars pretending like they and other publications don’t have a strong bias is a huge part of the problem.
My one-person indie company released many apps, and one of them (Halftone) had over 6 million users by the time I shut it down. It's definitely possible.
So that sounds like an argument for better education, not recirculating baseless conspiracy theories.
Well, the Ferengi were intended to be a parody of American capitalism. And the tech industry in many ways has turned itself into a parody of American capitalism. And the worst of Hacker News might as well be a parody of the tech industry.
Perhaps they should have the option of publishing any specifications, APIs, and keys necessary for a third party to build equivalent functionality rather than source code. This stuff usually isn't rocket science, but it's often locked behind some sort of DRM, or requires exponentially more time without simple docs.
Oh, wow, I think you're absolutely right and I entirely misread that (supposedly "plain") explanation. Having an example, like the one you gave, in the text would be really useful!
By "features" I meant panel features; they were 60Hz panels with no HDR and so-so contrast ratios.

Heh, might. Basically code for it won't even be a speed bump but without the copium the article is too nihilistic.
Indeed, looking at the sponsors, it's not at all surprising to see that Open Philanthropy is behind it... both directly and indirectly. Moreover, they're trying to hide that fact by burying the reference deep in the supplementary materials behind others AND hiding the fact that their people are in charge of the other involved 'non-profit' organizations. 70+ Scientists don't come together on something like this without a lot of help. We should have better transparency standards for large science publications like this. Seems that neither "Open Phil" nor "Open AI" are being very Open about anything these days. Pitty.
What if they're in a different jurisdiction?
The word you're looking for is latent space and yes, everything in the compute graph, including context cache & compute is done in latent space. Literal input tokens are first converted to latent space through the embedding layer and literal output tokens are generated by converting the last compute tensor into token probabilities & taking the most probable token. Everything in the middle though happens in the "floating point" latent space.

When you hear something like "it's attending all previous tokens" IMHO it's not strictly the correct explanation since you're attending through latent space which doesn't actually correspond 1:1 with tokens but is a multidimensional representation of that token & all preceding tokens as understood by that attention head. But conceptually it's how it's described because the size of your context goes up by 1 tensor for every token you process, even though applying attention actually ends up changing all tensors in the KV cache (hence self-attention). Also important to note that each attention head within each layer has it's own KV cache. LLMs are an autoregressive family of models where the output of each layer feeds into the input of the next and each layer has a transformer performing attention. That's another reason why it's not strictly correct to think of it as tokens make up your context because there's actually many many contexts within a transformer model. That's why your 128k context window can be ~15 GiB for a naiive inference implementation - 128k context window * 1024 * 1024-element tensor * 2 bytes per tensor * 8 attention heads * 8 layers (or something along those lines). And that's what this work is talking about shrinking (as does the HeadKV).

> tokens would be included in a more fuzzy way, and that when requests are sent it would result in loading slightly different tokens into the cache

The entire process of LLMs is generally actually 100% deterministic based on the same inputs & given a fixed seed for the RNG (modulo bugs in the inference math / bugs in HW/SW for the accelerator). Some inference implementations don't guarantee this property in the face of concurrent requests & you can't control the seed for hosted LLMs which is why it seems like random responses for the same query.

But it’s not. It’s a subset of what root can do.

The entire purpose of the /etc/sudoers file is to configure which users have access to sudo and which commands they can use.

Your top comment’s parent didn’t say the ssh login user had all sudo permissions. For best security, there should be many users which each have different limited permissions. Navigating the multiple `sudo su` is frustrating but has a purpose.
Passkeys are arguably slightly more convenient and not risky for those of us who are technically aware enough to use password managers, sure. But that's not what most people will do. Most people will see their phone ask them to add fingerprint/face unlock, so they do that, and now their passkey is stored only on their phone (or in iCloud if they're lucky).
Ah now I understand why it was a lot of fun at Finnegan's wake!

If you don't care about docker packages being used as installers and your home directory invisibly used to store massive weight files in exchange for not having to deal with learning any configuration: ollama or lmstudio.

If you just want to play for a bit: llamafile

If you want granular control with ease of execution in exchange for having to figure out what the settings mean and figure out which weights to download: koboldcpp. (check out bartowski on huggingface for the weights)

These are all based on llamacpp as a backend, by the way.
Using the "continuity camera" feature of the apple ecosystem will let you FaceTime on your TV (using Apple TV and your iPhone as the camera). See here:

https://support.apple.com/guide/tv/start-or-join-a-facetime-...

If both parties already have an Apple TV and iPhones this is definitely something easy to try. Once the work of configuring the iPhone as the apple tv's continuity camera is set up the actual FaceTime calls are pretty easy to setup on the TV.

That may be why the Supreme Court has chosen “history, text, and tradition” for constitutional evaluation. Changing the meaning of a word in an effort to change a law is frighteningly Orwellian.
Modern LLMs are still quite inefficient in their representation of information. We're at like the DEFLATE era and we've still yet to invent zstd where there's only marginal incremental gains; so right now there's a lot of waste to prune away.

Okay, you don't have to take the hyperbole so far it's obviously wrong.

They don't want your login to break, and a password vault could also break if you only had a password.

Sounds like basically public key logic with a biometric local wrapper?
I think you did a good job for these workloads. I did some informal experimenting last year when I had to implement an ELT-type system and I ended up doing it in Spark as well. It was my last choice, because I find operating and debugging Spark to be a huge pain. But everything else I tried was way slower.

I didn't think that people used polars a lot for ELT. I've usually seen it used for aggregations with small outputs (which, as you called out, it does a great job at).
> the support costs are now exponentially worse.

Is there any evidence that this actually happens? The percentage of customers who install custom firmware would be low to begin with, much less the percentage of those who then have problems with it and try to get the company to support it instead of the community that developed it. The idea that this type of support request is going to dominate support costs seems pretty farfetched.
What you are saying would make some sense if having Muslim beliefs or being Muslim or looking Muslim were some sort of disease which a nation must be "protected" from.

Unfortunately for you, this childish fantasy of ethnic and nationalist purity has never existed. No amount of ellipses will change that fact.
There's a constant tendency here to assume other people don't think, they blindly copy what's popular.

Everybody learns partially through pattern recognition, partially from trial and error, partially from armchair reasoning. And functions mostly by repeating what they already know.

But it's emotionally satisfying to put all the negative parts onto others (cargo cult sheeple reciting magic spells), and save all the positive identifiers for yourself (brave scientist uncovering truths about the universe)
> The software industry has zero concept of how much pain and suffering passkeys are going to cause the average person, almost entirely because the average American has an iPhone and a Windows laptop and there's literally nothing built-in to iOS or Windows that will sync passkeys between these two devices

Then you register multiple passkeys for the website, just like you would register several Yubikeys.

It’s a 1-click process, and no HW-token required. Most people will be fine.

Will they need a bail out? The lifetime of ad content is so short and is always being replaced such that the quality need not be high. ML can more than achieve it.

I think it's misleading to inject those into the conversation without the disclaimer that they were captured prizes. It's not like the British ordered them from France or even ordered the material.
I’m trying to get people at my workplace to use yubikeys. I would have thought it’d be easy, since “touch the blinking green circle on your yubikey” is a way less obnoxious form of 2FA than “pull out your phone, wait for a text, type in the number” or “pull out your phone, open up the 2FA app, scroll to the service, type in the number”. I was wrong though, it’s like pulling teeth and I’m not sure why!

I think you’re right, any change has to fight against the “this is how I do it already” inertia.
How is a Yubikey any different than other physical keys people have been carrying for hundreds of years? It seems much more intuitive to carry a digital key for your digital accounts.

Password managers have the added complexity of still needing a password themselves and all the quirks that come with auto filling and programmatically reading forms.

I'm not sure Apple head phones are quite a fair comparison. Outrage was also due to proprietary connectors that were patent encumbered.
Stardew Valley didn't follow any of the entrepreneurial advice you'd find on this site, either.

There wasn't a "minimum viable product" launched in year 1 followed by finishing the product in year 4.

I've literally seen a post here where someone scolded a failed game developer for finishing their financial failure of a game before launch. The comment was something along the lines of:

"Read a business book. You shouldn't have spent a lot of time making your game. Instead you should have released a minimum viable product after doing market research."
These performative "plans" will only backfire on them. Just like with the filibuster and all the idiotic process rules in both houses.
This prompted me to read more about it as I was quite certain this was the reason I had stopped using them. It seems the initial wave of complaints fed into some change about a year after the initial launch. Android 14 (Oct 2023) via the new Credential Manager API and iOS 17 (September 2023) when 3rd parties could actually be a registered passkey provider.

As others have said use Tailwind. But using an LLM pretty much guarantees that "endless tweaking".

They're great for getting something up as a starting point. But at least right now, you really are going to want to do the hand tweaking and polishing yourself.

The people who are going to get the most benefits from this are those that adapt to this workflow -- not trying to force the LLMs to do things they can't but rather working in conjunction with their limitations and augmenting them with your own skills and letting them augment you with their capabilities. It's a give and take. You still need to be in the loop to have the best outcomes.
If you want to connect a screen, keyboard and mouse? Or plug in a wifi dongle? Absolutely!

And by the point you don't need them, you can graduate from the dev kit and spin your own PCB without them on, if you like.

The development kit will probably break out other signals too - but if you know what SPI and CSI are, you probably don't need to be told what an embedded dev kit is :)
I don't have them hidden. I can't find anything derogatory about women; rather, the comments point out perceived hypocrisy around naming genders in titles. The comments about Nadia specifically were great, including a dead comment saying what a blessing she is to the rails community.

> Ruby on Rails community is so lucky to have Nadia

Another dead comment says it's not impressive, but doesn't mention gender.

Two dead comments calls the title sexist.

One dead comment predicts there will be misogyny.

Two comments say "who cares if it was a woman"

One comment laughs about "woke" complaints while being the only comment to use the word.

I think that's all of them.

I understand that putting "woman" in the title triggers a lot of talk about gender, which is off-topic and boring, but I don't really find any of the specific comments notable, hateful, or oppositional.

That's an obvious yes from me. I liked it, and not only that, but I can reasonably assume it will be consistently good in the future, something lot's of places can't do.

I dislike this style of "searching", but it does appear to work. I asked "provide a link to the HTML version of RFC 793" and got back the following URL: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc793[3. The URL is invalid (for some reason the reference became part of the URL), but it was easily fixable.
Or it just means anything shared on the internet gets RLHF’d / special cased.

It’s been clear for a long time that the major vendors have been watching online chatter and tidying up well-known edge cases by hand. If you have a test that works, it will keep working as long as you don’t share it widely enough to get their attention.
This objection only applies to past products. If the law in a big enough market required that sort of code escrow and eventual release, companies wouldn't build future products covered by that law on top of code they couldn't release.
