I had an opportunity to go there when I was a kid with my parents. I understood some of the significance, but I think now the clever details of the designs might be more accessible.

This weekend I came across this book while looking for something new to read. It may not be the best exploration of longitude, mapping, and trade as a technology but your comment brought it to mind immediately. You might find it interesting.

Can we not call any authentication scheme/protocol/service starting with "Open" and even "O" anymore? We already have OAuth, OATH, OpenID, OpenIDConnect, and Okta; it's getting out of hand.
Actually there is another option. Make a complaint to your state's Attorney General's Office. They usually have a website for filing consumer complaints, and AGO will contact the business, and the business is usually responsive when contacted by AGO.
Don't get me wrong, I wouldn't oppose anything at this point that hurt AT&T, purely out of spite, since I'm from California, where their allergy to capex (besides Wireless) has allowed our cable companies (mainly Comcast, Spectrum, and Cox) to simply set prices, bandwidth caps, and service levels for Internet at whatever they feel like. But anyway, I think if you wanted to force AT&T to compete by offering FTTP more widely, mandating that they have to sell access wholesale to others, like they do with DSL, would not be the way to do it. They've deployed basically no fiber in the past decade, and they'd deploy zero if they thought it likely their competitors would exploit the infra they built instead of them gaining retail customers.

Even if they were taken over tomorrow by leadership that weren't crooks, they're already in a terrible position to compete as it is -- in the 20 years since they did anything, Comcast and the others have gone from the ~10Mbps connections they once offered, to 1 and even 2Gbps in many places, so I assume in nearly all the areas AT&T doesn't serve with fiber, the incumbent cable co has about 95% market share already. Tough to break into that. even though customers hate the cable companies, they know AT&T is just as slimy -- and nobody wants to set aside a day to wait for an internet installer.
So, they show mostly correct applications: CAD / 3D-modeling work, schematic visualizations, etc.

Also, for an individual seated user, it's relatively easy to adjust the direction of gaze, and do occlusion at the rendering level, giving a rough idea of occlusion. They even show it in one of the segments of the video on the product page (with some color balls).
I have mine on my keyring. Not sure what the big problem is there.

The bigger issue with yubikeys is that you need more than one in case you lose one. And most sites only allow one passkey per account because all the mobile implementations can sync the private key. Yubikeys can't and that's actually a good thing because it makes them unique and eliminates the whole sync mechanism as an attack plane.
This sounds like a VC forced marriage. I'm like 90% sure that Coda and Grammarly are both under the same VC umbrella.

> Sales tax is up to the states to sort out how to deal with on their own, and there's 50 of them.

To add on for any else trying to figure out the 13k number from this statement.

Counties can also apply their own additional taxes.

Cities can also apply their own additional taxes.

On top of just that, the cities and counties can set different taxes in the same area, such as a sugar tax or an alcohol tax or even a pre-prepared food tax vs groceries. It gets complicated fast.

I can't think of many better ways to demonstrate to your colleagues and corporate overlords that you are worthy of their trust than to readily hold up your hands if you've screwed up.

So long as you're not so incompetent that you're repeatedly doing stupid stuff or cynically causing issues so that you can make yourself look virtuous by owning up, of course.

Novelty sets like these are deeply unpleasant for regular chess players, because they interfere with normal pattern recognition. There's a huge difference between being able to tell the pieces apart and being able to read the board at a glance. It's like reading a book in bad handwriting instead of clear type - you can decode it with enough effort, but you can't read fluently or scan the text.
I don't think it makes sense to conflate Lispers to Schemers. I've programmed in both languages but have a stronger affinity for Scheme partially because semantically it is less flexible and more "staticy" than Lisp. Philosophically, the languages tend to attract different personalities (to the extent that the highly fragmentary Scheme world can be characterized).

I think that you may have seen month-over-month inflation in Argentina, which is 2.4% for November (the lowest in a couple of years). That may seem low, but that's just the change in prices from one month to the next. In USA, the month-over-month inflation is around 0.3%, while yearly inflation is 2.7%. In Argentina, yearly inflation is 166% right now (and it was worse before!), but if they kept 2.4% month-over-month for a year, they'd have 33% yearly inflation - that's still not "extremely low" (e.g. the recent inflation surge in the US only peaked at 9.1% yearly), but it would be the lowest for Argentina since 2018.

> 3. Because most people only need to pull out their keys a few times a day. Requiring a Yubikey for every sign in means you'd now need to constantly be pulling your Yubikey out to sign into things.

I just leave it connected to my computer. It requires a physical touch for every interaction so it can't be 'milked' for tokens like old fashioned smart cards.
Agree to both. And both are incredibly easy problems to solve. For the first just have a law that says:

> Any advertised price must include all mandatory taxes and fees. No exceptions.

For the second just have a law that says:

> An end user must be allowed to use the same method to cancel as they used to sign up for the service. No exceptions. Additionally, an end user cannot be required to perform more manual actions to cancel than was required to sign up. No exceptions.

No one should be against this except greedy corporations. Easily solved, common sense rules that already have working examples in the real world. 1 is already the law in Netherlands and Australia and these countries aren’t falling over from the undue burden placed on businesses.

I’ll end with: two cornerstones of a free market are price transparency and the ability/mobility to switch services when a better competing offering emerges. Not having legislation like above to protect those values is anti capitalistic
In the PR, they use some of the ambiguity around the term AI to claim it's AI native. It isn't LLM native, but they indeed were using things that encompass AI.

> One thing that didn't work great in the prompt above was excluding the location of places where the authors worked. They sometimes got included anyway.

Have you tried adding the institutions as an explicit property in the JSON response and just ignoring the second list?

I’ve had much better luck with having LLMs explicitly choose a different label when working with similar types of entities than asking the LLM to exclude them via prompting. This way you can also spot ambiguity if the LLM add a location to both arrays.

Why is a law needed to address this? Isn't the market supposed to adjust for companies like this?
What's most tragic is how cheap lobbying is, or more accurately, how great the ROI is. A company like AT&T, or a defense contractor, or an oil company, spends low millions on lobbying, not billions, and as a result reaps enormous windfalls in the tens of billions. I don't have any idea how to fix "money in politics" because first amendment is so tied up in it once you try to do anything, and they've mastered indirection so well that any restrictions are easily worked around by astroturf PACs.
Happy to see the effort! Fresh blood in the authn space is always welcomed.

Without rehashing the other good points commenters have made already, I’ll just say that every project starts out immature. What makes a project great is how willing the maintainers will be to grow along with the project and incorporate feedback. I’m excited to see future evolutions of this one.

We also offer some optional commercial add-on features that can help iterate faster or support very large teams using Langfuse. However, these features are entirely optional and we do our best to be transparent about this across our docs.
"only thing they brought the table"?

Only you'd know but that seems rather uncharitable.
Attestation would be terrible to have in passkeys because it will allow sites to block certain implementations.

PayPal does this already by only allowing safari or chrome. With bitwarden on Firefox I'm locked out.
Click to cancel does not mean exactly what the name implies. It means cancellation must be as easy as signup [1]. In your example, signup is not a click away, so the cancellation process need not be. It’s a very reasonable position.

I imported some french absinthe as soon as I realized it was legal again in the US in 2008.

I was so excited with the glasses , spoon and the ritual.

I couldn't even finish half a glass though. It was honestly the worst drink I can ever remember having. Just absolutely terrible. Really one of the most disappointing experiences of my life for how built up it was in my head.

I still have the glasses that are so fun to drink wine out of but I would never bother with absinthe again.

Even better if in a state with legal cannabis. Absinthe glass, cannabis lemonade and a shot or two of vodka. No green fairy placebo effect needed.

The problem with `esbuild` is that it silently does the wrong thing whenever there are type errors. The main job of a compiler is producing error messages; actually producing an output file is secondary.

`tsc` is so slow that it seems the least bad approach in use is "automatically run it asynchronously in the background", which is not confidence-inspiring.

To be completely fair, Biden has done f*k all to hold AT&T to account in the past four years. I doubt a second term of Democrats would be different. Both parties are failures in most areas, and telecom regulation is something neither party cares one whit about.

The tech is interesting but I can't see the practical uses just yet :)
All else being equal, two access methods are strictly less secure than a single access method. But is all else equal? I suspect that there are quite a few people who are willing to use a long, complicated password occasionally but who won't put up with that for passwords that are used frequently. If those people use better passwords when they can use a PIN to make routine access easy, that's a win.
This is awesome. There's more to do, but it's a step in the right direction. This law should really apply to all merchants in all industries, as the original 2023 proposal stated (allegedly). Still, I'll take it.
"Auth" is also super overloaded. OP is an authentication or AuthN tool which is not the same nor does it encompass authorization or AuthZ. I'm partial to using the terms "identity" and "permissions" instead.
I think you can look at any cohort (except for the people already at retirement age) and see a way that they're screwed. I'm 34 and I agree that you're right, but the 22 year old fresh out of college with a CS degree might have just gotten a degree in a field that is going to be turned inside out, in an economy that might be confused as we adapt. It's just too big of a hypothetical change to say who will get the most screwed, imo.

And like the parent poster said - even if you were to avoid the industry, what would you pivot to? Anything else you might go into would be trivial to automate by that point.
In corporate context, admitting exernally-facing liability too easily violates executives' fiduciary responsibility to shareholders. For incentives aligning, need to figure out how to unravel that beasty.

Sure there is. The probability of success is as good as zero. In all seriousness, a better business model is buying $1000 a month in lottery tickets. You have the same chance of success, you can do it on the side while working your job, and if you do hit the jackpot you don't have to do any additional work. This particular business has no path to being a Google but it might have a shot at being a Basecamp.

I have not done that but I like that strategy not just for this use case but as a general idea for replacing exclusion with finer grained categorisation. One thing I did do is use a regex to preprocess the papers to remove bibliographies which were a really big source of noise. In titles of referenced papers there would often be a mention of location that was not directly relevant to the paper itself.

The Atlas is also trying to answer the question "Can we build inaccurate and incomplete systems with LLMs that are still useful?".
I certainly am not in the 0.5% rich enough to be able to afford such a thing. If it does get developed (it won't in my lifetime), there's absolutely no way in hell it will be accessible to anyone but the ultra rich.

You're telling me to "rediscover" something you just told me I have a fundamental natural aversion to?
Yeah, as a user, I'm mostly happy about the lack of attestation. In an ideal world, only relying parties that really need it would request it, but views on who really does might obviously differ a lot between users and service providers.

> PayPal does this already by only allowing safari or chrome. With bitwarden on Firefox I'm locked out.

It works for me! However I do vaguely remember having to set them up on Chrome initially, but after that, they now work well even in Firefox. (Only on my computer; on my phone, I get an absurd non sequitur of "security keys only work on desktops").
It's actually a LOT easier to explain to your grandma than a recent MFA app like Microsoft authenticator that requires a smartphone, the user to unlock it, choose the notification, to enter a code from a list and confirm with fingerprint.

With passkeys via yubikey it's insert key, enter pincode (just like at the atm), touch and go. You don't even have to enter your account name or email because that's derived automatically.

Anyone who can get cash out can use a yubikey. Very different for MFA apps.
I think another, more technically correct, way to say it is this:

In some cases, a PIN can be used to achieve the same effect that the corresponding credential can.

I think normal people care about some of these cases sometimes.
Narco airstrips beset Indigenous communities in Peruvian Amazon
My main concern is, if an attacker has the ability to nmap against my private IP range, they're already in the network and I'm already pwned. Am I missing something here? Plus, with this tool running I would lose the ability to run nmap scans, which are a super useful diagnostic tool.

I do have a honeypot machine setup, but that's mainly as a last line of intrusion detection than an active defense (plus, it was a fun way to spend a Friday afternoon). I've seen proposals for similar systems before and while the idea is interesting I just don't think it accomplishes anything useful. My honeypot also doesn't accomplish anything truly useful, but it also doesn't negatively affect the network by not allowing me to run scans.

I think the confusion here (for me too) is what precisely is the purpose/meaning of "bring the size down?"

Exactly. They don't hold you to a lower standard. If it was a teenager they might've cut some slack. Most people will cut an elderly person or a person who's very outnumbered by kids in the car a little slack. Etc, Etc.

So perhaps that person in the other car looked at you and decided for whatever reason you deserved to be held to a lower standard than they project upon everyone if no other information is available.

Well, you don't want people to think you are disagreeable, and sometimes the flow is the most important thing so you have to read the room especially carefully then.

If you were really performing above average and they didn't kick you out because they felt they were paying you too much (maybe under financial pressure or couldn't afford it anyway?), it could very well be because your work was intimidating and they need to elevate underperformers who present no competition whatsoever.

When you feel it's too much for the C-suite after all this, it's likely to be true.
So now likely hundreds (or more) of individuals have to not only wait on hold forever, but have to learn the process of and actually go through with filing a small claim?

Which ones then? Using yubikey means enrolling multiple of them as backup which a lot of sites don't allow.

Other implementations are often blocked, eg on paypal I've never been able to do it and they also only allow one.

The big tech ones don't have these issues but I won't use them because I want to keep control.
Often these archive projects have the goal of propagating the archive across many different systems, for which reducing size is very valuable. This is basically a compression exercise in the case where there are many large duplicated blocks.
Precisely. The overarching HN view, although it's not a monolith (so the viewpoint isn't shared by all), is that the free market solves for all things and regulation by the government is largely a waste of taxpayer money that could be going to other things worthwhile (roads, military, police).

On the other hand, passkeys are almost exclusively used to authenticate to some service that can just as well be subpoenaed directly.

Exceptions do exist; two I can think of are passkey-based cryptocurrency wallets and the so-called "PRF extension" that allows using a passkey as a source of entropy for e.g. locally encrypting a password manager's database.
No they don’t. Every dollar the government spends is a brand new dollar. You can’t save up money in a currency that you issue.

As a fiat currency issuer, you have two options, you can create money for circulation (government spending) or you can destroy money and it’ll never circulate again (taxation).
