> With Apple's keychain, and I suspect other companies' solutions, passkeys are connected to your account and at best synced between devices from the same manufacturer.

iCloud Keychain/Passwords works on macOS and Windows, and there are extensions for Chrome and Edge. I don't know whether it works with passkeys though.

> But even with Apple, I can't sync stuff between my personal and work computer because they use different Apple IDs, even though the underlying true identity (me) is the same.

As I understand it, Apple's BYOD support allows you to have a managed/corporate Apple ID and a personal Apple ID on the same device. You can also add a managed Apple ID to a personal device like an iPhone; on iOS (and possibly macOS?) it isolates the data between them so that corporate apps can't access personal data and vice-versa.

I believe it's possible to have multiple accounts with separate Apple IDs, and I think it is possible to add "secondary" Apple IDs to a single account, but I don't have experience with this.
Me neither. I've just accepted that a majority of people are horribly bad at finance, what the reasons are, I don't care to find out. I'm sure it's a huge list of things thay are not solvable. You know what I mean of you've ever tried to help someone by lending them money.

A time sensitive hash validating each request makes it a bit harder for them without significant extra work on your part. Address sensitive is much more effective but can result in issues for users that switch between networks (using your site on the move and passing between workers networks, for instance).
If you're doing this sort of license analysis, try a license detector I built. It tries to guess which license was used and diff any changes. Lots of licenses are small changes from others, so it usually makes multiple guesses.

It's nice to have an expert's perspective, but he undermines himself a bit. He says this:

> The people who believe this stuff when they hear it will not be persuaded, because I'm obviously a Big Pharma Shill.

Pre-empting any counterpoint to his arguments by saying they'll unfairly dismiss him. A rather smug approach to the "little guy", but possibly warranted. But his previous post on the subject has this gem:

> What I'm getting at is that people like Four Thieves Vinegar are not developing drugs. They're trying to find cheap, easily replicable ways to make and distribute drugs that other people have already spent the time and money to develop. If the capitalists of the world hadn't ponied up the at-risk funding to find those drugs in the first place, there would be nothing for anarcho-hacker pharma collectives to do. Speaking for the Big Evil Pharma Industry, if I may, you Vinegar Thieves are living in our basement and subsisting on what we provide.

First of all: we've been hearing for over century the line about superhero-capitalist John Galts deserving to billionaires because they were the ones who "ponied up the at-risk funding", and it's extremely shaky, if not outright bullshit. Especially in the pharma industry, where X% of "discoveries" come straight from government funding, not private capital (with X being an endlessly argued number, but almost certainly above 50). Secondly: Four Thieves Vinegar Collective don't appear to be claiming any discoveries, so what exactly is he arguing here? Couldn't he levy the same complaint against every generic drug manufacturer, that they're "living in the basement" of the Big Smart Important Guys like him? These statements are pretty close to what you'd expect from a "Big Pharma Shill" that he's pre-emptively trying to immunize himself from being accused of.
I responded to two posts directly about GrapheneOS. I tried to give helpful information on the correct way to do what they want to do and addressed the idea that we're doing anything anti-user. The linked content is misleading and it's only fair that we have a chance to give our perspective and explain our decision making. A lot of what was listed is stuff we plan to change but there have always been lots of higher priorities. The rest are security vs. incredibly niche features where we choose security but people can still have it the other way due to it being open source.

Surely if you can block their specific User-Agent, you could also redirect their User-Agent to goatse or something. Give em what they deserve.

That's a good point - I didn't know that the ACA was that recent. Haven't health insurers still had been regulated to cap how much they can make off payouts for longer than that, though?
Yeah, the underground belts in the first and fourth row look odd, I currently don’t see a reason why the couldn’t be replaced by simple belts, which would be somewhat cheaper. Maybe that’s an additional UPS optimization applied in that design?

That's pretty much criminal law in a nutshell. There are expectations if you want others to tolerate your oddities, one of which is you don't get to impose on them.
If you have a dedicated bucket just for this and the authentication is just for that bucket, then is it still considered insecure?
I don't understand what TikTok has to do with this. As I understand it the concern with TikTok is that it's essentially a way for China's government to manipulate (mostly young) Americans by shaping what they see regarding specific issues. As far as I'm aware there's no "it's an insecure app" angle being pursued, these are very different issues.

Besides, even if they weren't, I can be worried that I broke my leg and that my house is on fire.
It's amusing that the TikTok ban is being hyped up as solving the problem. Banning TikTok won't solve a thing, nor will banning much from China.

We need a re-think of what it means to use technology in a connected world. Actually prioritizing security is the only fix, and the private sector rarely has a reason to do this beyond compliance needs, and the government is limited for a myriad of other reasons..

Rest assured, the FBI/other agencies will still push for backdoors for investigative purposes without publicly acknowledging that these can be used by malicious actors, too.

To really top things off: wait until they leverage the ability to purchase data from data brokers in the US to build profiles on individuals with elevated access to target. That's capitalism, baby!
A mixer can run at the full speed of its input belts (ie given two full belts input, it will output two full belts).

In the naive solution you are effectively allocating a single belt output from each layer-1 mixer, so the system will run at half throughput. But the fan-out to a pair of mixers in layer-3 does mean that your 4 output belts are balanced, which might be good enough in some cases - for example of downstream smelters have lower capacity than the theoretical 4-belt max throughput.
Absolutely - current windows is truly horrible, ads, ads, ads, crash :( If I were designing something to be deliberately distracting, annoying, and confusing, it would look a lot like windows!

I’ve been using Linux on the same timeline starting with RHEL3, then Gentoo, Ubuntu, and finally ArchLinux and I’ve had to arch-chroot from a live usb several times over the last five years to fix broken upgrades*. It hasn’t been more than an hour detour each time but it’s been far from painless. I just recently had to nuke and pave a Thinkpad X1 extreme to reset KDE/Plasma to a configuration that didn’t crash Plasma randomly or kernel panic when resuming from sleep (power management was especially bad for that old gen1 model until recently and I had to build a custom thermald or something). I’ve still got a problem with a monitor not working after power save - just monitor off, not even computer sleep - until I power cycle it. Some problems are even starting to crop up on my System76 Pangolin.

A significant fraction of the software I use is installed through yay’s extra packages which do frequently require building from source so it’s not just a Gentoo thing. It’s far from as seamless (or as limited) as Android/iOS app stores.

* and not even half of them can be blamed on NVIDIA
At least looking from the outside, SCTP is also kind of stupid in places due to its telecom origins, e.g. you get only as many data streams as you negotiated for at the start of the connection[1], because we just can’t let circuit switching go.

“it's a miracle of modern software engineering and a testament of the power of collaboration and the free software movement that the Linux ecosystem works as well as it does”

It can be a miracle, and yet still not be good enough. Even as a business user, knowing that if I build an app and it probably won’t work in 5 years, is all I need to know about this hobbyist toy. Linux is fundamentally not ready for anyone who has needs more than a Chromebook (which also runs Steam, by the way).

It’s like pointing to a skyscraper made out of sand. Sure, it collapses every time the tide comes in, but your robots can rebuild it in 5 minutes flat, so it’s clearly ready for tenants.
Thanks, I edited it.

They’re built from essentially the same secure MCUs as traditional TPMs and both the hardware and the proprietary crypto libraries used on them have been exploited many times over.
Guess you skipped over the context provided in the preceding 13 paragraphs:

a sign that lower-income consumers’ financial health is waning

a closely watched measure of significant loan distress

but the bottom third of US consumers are tapped out

consumers’ personal finances are becoming increasingly stretched

Consumer spending power has been diminished

Americans who cannot pay off their credit card bills in full paying $170bn in interest

as a result, more of those borrowers are struggling to pay back their credit card debt

I believe I took mine in 2001-2002. Coincidentally, this was my introduction to the concept of "open source" software. The idea that such a powerful tool could be completely and irrevocably free was just absolutely mind blowing. And it allowed me to create the sort of precise, intricate things that were inaccessible in any other way as I, as an 8th-grader, had not yet accumulated any machine tools.

Glad to see this program is still going strong.
The server doesn't tell you (and doesn't know) that it's the eiffel tower. Only when the result comes back to your device, is your device able to identify it as such.

This is better than nothing but if you have to run migrations before your database is usable, you want an approach like the one I use in pgtestdb — use one server for all your tests, but give them each different databases by cloning from one that's already set up with all the schemas correctly migrated.

I was considering the energy used and $, R&D and time spent to train those models, which is colossal compared to the developer and factor that in. Then they don't look so impressive. For reference, I'm not anti-LLM, I use Claude and ChatGPT every day. I'm just raising those if you want to consider all facts.
ah, have you shown that there is no matching DNA in either the host or any of the bacteria that the host has?

The Mac 128k in 1984 had unified memory.
Since you did not give the models a chance to test their code and correct any mistakes, I think a more accurate comparison would be if you compared them against you submitting answers without testing (or even running!) your code first

I've been running Linux on my desktop since 1994. I've never actually run Windows (or DOS) as my main computer. From the first time I saw commercial Unix in 1991 I knew that was what I wanted. I have about 15 computers running Linux.

The author mentions non technical people and I will happily say that I'm a computer engineer designing semiconductors. Linux may not be the right OS for billions of people out there but it works perfectly fine as a desktop for a few million.

I’ve had a side job as an external examiner for CS students for almost a decade now. While LLMs are generally terrible at programming (in my experience) they excel at passing finals. If I were to guess it’s likely a combination of the relatively simple (or perhaps isolated is a better word) tasks coupled with how many times similar problems have been solved before in the available training data. Somewhat ironically the easiest way to spot students who “cheat” is when the code is great. Being an external examiner, meaning that I have a full time job in software development I personally find it sort of silly when students aren’t allowed to use a calculator. I guess changing the way you teach and test is a massive undertaking though, so right now we just pretend LLMs aren’t being used by basically every students. Luckily I’m not part of the “spot the cheater” process, so I can just judge them based on how well they can explain their code.

Anyway, I’m not at all surprised that they can handle AoC. If anything I would worry that AoC will still be a fun project to author when many people solve it with AI. It sure won’t be fun to curate any form of leaderboard.
So why not right now then? What number of years or days or hours would concern you? Are you not concerned about other life besides human life on Earth?
so what you should do instead is write a load of pure functions and intersperse them with impure functions, and when it comes to testing that, if someone writes a different impure function than the one you wanted, you just fail the test and trigger a post to HN: "don't code with mocks."
I think society has collectively "decided" in the same way they "decided" smoking in a restaurant is great.

There's little to no conscious choice in this. But there is a lot of money in this. Like... a LOT of money. If I were to try to influence society to be okay with it, it would be a no brainer.

So, to me, it's obvious that society has been brainwashed and propagandized to accept it. But doing so generates hundreds of billions if not trillions of dollars. How, exactly, such manipulation is done is unknown to me. Probably meticulously, over the course of decades if not centuries. I know that the concept of privacy during the writing of the constitution was much, much more stringent than it was in the 70s, which is much more stringent than it is today.

But, I am very confident it is happening.
Well said, agreed. One point from my experience — once you can do "as fast as unit" or "as fast as pure" tests that exercise your database, you can basically stop doing integration tests, because using the real database gives you so much confidence in the correctness of your system.

Yep, I keep the dead events around, for when the constraints behave incorrectly.

I also keep the live events around, in case there isn't a constraint exception, but something else goes wrong - upstream/user error causing deletion, or programmer error causing the event to have the wrong effect.

Now I have the events, I can just throw away the schemas and constraints. I mean, if the events and the DB disagree, the DB is wrong.

"There is another remark which suggests itself here and which physicists may find paradoxical, though the paradox will probably seem a good deal less than it did eighteen years ago. I will express it in much the same words which I used in 1922 in an address to Section A of the British Association. [...] I began by saying that there is probably less difference between the positions of a mathematician and of a physicist than is generally supposed, and that the most important seems to me to be this, that the mathematician is in much more direct contact with reality. This may seem a paradox [...] but a very little reflection is enough to show that the physicist's reality, whatever it may be, has few or none of the attributes which common sense ascribes instinctively to reality. A chair may be a collection of whirling electrons, or an idea in the mind of God; each of these accounts of it may have its merits, but neither conforms at all closely to the suggestions of common sense. [...] A mathematician, on the other hand, is working with his own mathematical reality. Of this reality, as I explained in section 22, I take a 'realistic' and not an 'idealistic' view. At any rate (and this was my main point) this realistic view is much more plausible of mathematical than of physical reality, because mathematical objects are so much more what they seem. A chair or star is not in the least like what it seems to be; the more we think of it, the fuzzier its outlines become in the haze of sensation which surrounds it; but '2' or '317' has nothing to do with sensation, and its properties stand out the more clearly the more closely we scrutinize it. It may be that modern physics fits best into some framework of idealistic philosophy -- I do not believe it, but there are eminent physicists who say so. Pure mathematics, on the other hand, seems to me a rock on which all idealism founders: 317 is a prime, not because we think so, or because our minds are shaped in one way rather than another, but because it is so, because mathematical reality is built that way."

That's not quite the argument you describe -- his point is more that mathematical objects as understood by the mathematician are more like mathematical objects as we encounter them casually, than physical objects as understood by the physicist are like physical objects as we encounter them casually -- the physicist will insist that the chair you're sitting on is really a sort of configuration of fluctuations in quantum fields, but if you count up to 23 then the mathematician will agree that what you just did really does reflect the underlying nature of the number 23.

(If you build all mathematics on top of set theory, then you will most likely treat the number 23 as some much more complicated thing. But you'll see that as an "implementation detail" that could be done in lots of different ways, rather than saying that really, deep down 23 is this complicated thing with lots of weird internal structure.)

i think you miss my point. trump is obviously further right than either biden, kamala.

whatever the relative left-ness of those choices where, it was obviously so much so too far left for about 2million+ people who, to be gracious, decided to hold their noses.

so i'm left completely flumoxed why it's not blindingly obvious. at least at this point in time, those candidates' platforms seriously missed the mark. if those folks that were centrist-ish enough to even consider "holding their noses" to vote for trump, i can't imagine how they'd be supportive of anything even further to the left of the choices they had available and fairly rejected.

how would moving further left capture those voters? (those willing to vote trump, perhaps marginally)

i know it's not just right vs. left, but in this case all the other things seem to either be trump disadvanges (personality) or about the same for both of the two poles. nobody in the whole election seemed to be able to string a coherent sentence together, for example.
