The premise that this is a new drawback introduced by passkeys is false. If a relying party wants to lock you into big tech ecosystem for authentication, they can do that today by only supporting SSO from them. They don't need to wait until passkeys come about.

I agree with the previous posters that expense and safety are concerns.
Robots are dangerous and require a lot of specialized hardware. (see above).

IMHO the biggest obstacle is that AI is still having trouble with object permanence and real world interactions. I'm hopeful this will be solved in the next few years, and I'm sure teams of people are working in it with vast budgets of DARPA dollars and COSTIND Yuan as well as private industry.

Elon could do it if he could just invent a time machine first.
I’m going to take a wild guess that most of the world ain’t you?
People keep saying that, but would you work in a team full of "mediocre" professionals or have a social circle full of "mediocre" friends if you had a choice?
Same, with NextDNS. I used to deal with rooting and Magisk to use a hosts file based approach (Adaware) but as Android has become more locked down, DNS blocking has become the much less invasive solution.
It depends also on what you want to get from the article. Usually I focus on the methods section to really understand what the paper did (usually I read experimental papers in cognitive science/neuroscience). I may read parts of the results, but hopefully they have figures that summarize them so I do not have to read much. I rarely read the conclusion section and in general I do not care much about how authors interpret their results, because people can make up anything and if one does not read the methods can get really mislead by the authors' biases.
That's not exactly the behaviour.

What they do is they insert an additional block that vaguely resembles Google -all white, input box centred under a generic image which could maybe remind you of some Google doodle- right below the header and above the search results. [0]

That input box is empty, but the input box in the header is still populated with your query.

That input box is also generally similar to Google's but then again it's the exact style they already use in their -Bing's- normal search box, just with an all white background.

Something they do is they scroll right to the inserted block so you don't see the Bing header. But, sincerely, saying that this impersonates Google or that it misleads people into thinking they might be on Google seems fairly dubious.

I edited the prior comment a minute after I posted it.

How is that relevant when they would still need to go to a UK court to go after you in some way?

Which is what you are afraid of, I’m assumming?
Why would you assume less dark pattern in the muddy waters of two ai agents negotiating you milk buying?
It sounded like the author(s) just had existing request-oriented code and didn’t want to rewrite it to be connection-oriented.

Personally I would enjoyed solving that problem instead of hacking around it but that’s me.
AFAIK, only by symptoms. If https fetches work and websockets don't, that's a sign. HSTS and assorted reporting can help a bit in aggregate, but not if the corporate MITM CA has been inserted into the browser's trusted CA list. I don't think there's an API to get certificate details from the browser side to compare.

A proxy may have a different TLS handshake than a real browser would, depending on how good the MITM is, but the better they are, the more likely it is that websockets work.
Let me save u 10 minutes and get to the punchline.

"Eventually, it clicked, and I learned one of the bedrock principles of salesmanship: Whether you’re peddling long distance over the phone, Bibles door to door, or your own political candidacy on live national TV, it doesn’t matter what you’re selling—it matters how you make people feel. If you make them feel good, they’ll say yes. If you don’t, you could be selling a pill that reverses male-pattern baldness and makes you lose weight without exercise, and they’ll still turn you down flat."
I wish that these "discussions about the US health insurance system" would lead to real change, but I'm pessimistic.

The fact is that this is a deep, complicated topic, and the media cycle doesn't have the sustained focus for deep, complicated topics. We don't need 200 million people to care for a month; we need 200 thousand people to care for years and years to achieve reform.
Ads are ok if they’re fixated on a page and aren’t intrusive but holy crap, some sites just takes to other sites when you click something and then when you come back it’s not the same page so you got to go back again and the cycle resets. I can’t imagine places where internet is super expensive and you deal with daily
I don't think it's the heat, rather, the wasps seem attracted to the radio wave EM radiation. I'm not sure why, but I've seen it first hand when turning on high powered outdoor point-to-point WiFi antennas (eg. airMAX LiteBeam 5AC). The moment I connected the power, several wasps immediately began crowding around the antenna.
With all due respect, I think that's a terrible idea for a couple reasons.

First, a model that produces binary code would be impossible to vet. This is already an issue with "trusting trust" in compilers [1], and would be made worse in the case of companies that constantly tweak their black-box models however they like. At least my compiler can work offline.

But then there's the idea of programming as "turn data into data" that forgets that software has to interface with humans too. If I ask my LLM to give me sentencing guidelines that are "fair" given a set of parameters, no one on Earth should trust a binary they cannot check themselves. In fact, those affected may even have a constitutional right to source code.

Great question. It's a combination of economics - lower-wage humans do many tasks much better - and technology - precise manipulation of tools and navigation of novel environments is incredibly difficult. Any small seemingly trivial task actually has an insane amount of complexity to it.

Let's say I wanted a robot to take out my trash. It sounds simple but there are so many incredibly difficult tasks when you break it down, each with a near-infinite number of variations in different homes:

- First, learn where in the house it is, and how to get to it.
* Is it in a drawer? What kind of drawer, how to open it?
* Is it a plastic garbage bag in a bin, with a foot lever? In a drawer?
- How does the robot lift out a plastic bag, replace the plastic bag? We don't have the dexterity to do this yet
* What happens when the plastic bag gets caught slightly on a corner, or begins to rip?
- Let's say we pick up the plastic bag, now we need to move to a door that will take us out of the house
* Are there stairs, pets, children, other obstacles that could get in the way? Just this bullet point here could be harder than self-driving cars, which is far from solved
* How do we interact with the door to open it? Is it a round knob, is there a deadbolt to unlock, does the door swing outward or inwards?

...etc

This probably barely scratches the surface on all of the variability inside of a home, and yet a small kid can do all this without even thinking, while even a small subset of these problems probably requires billions of dollars to solve in a controlled/closed environment.

Maybe humanoid robot teleoperation + artificial intelligence will get us there, that's the pipe dream of a lot of these humanoid robot companies. But then they need to make money and out-compete some young/lower-skilled workers happy to do things for $10/hour. At which point one wonders how these companies will make money to justify the insane R&D needed for even the simplest of tasks. But hey the same story has played out in other industries where robots have outplaced low-skilled labor. The difference though is that these environments have been heavily controlled, i.e. the same few steps to assemble a widget, the same motions to clean the same type of object, etc.
Some people still don't have unlimited data?
Given how tailscale works and many of the features (the SSH features especially) it's not terribly hard to imagine a critical flaw or misconfigured setup giving access to userspace
for functions that don't escape the current compilation unit (`static` functions, anonymous namespace functions), can/do compilers ignore calling conventions and do the faster thing? Of course, they can just inline, and that makes this moot.
I'd tell you on here but it might make my post here a bit too obvious as the person knows who they are.
This is in a highly geologically active zone though.
Is that consistent with net neutrality principles? Should commercial resellers of network connections be permitted, as a question of law, to set rules dictating the contents and endpoints of those bits?

(I'm not happy with the direction of tech culture, that this could be an open question. The first half of the computer revolution was about making cool things for people to use. The second half seems to be about taking those cool things away. I imagine an airline user from 1950's jet age, who would be beyond astounded to learn a human could talk to anyone on the planet from the *middle of the freakin' ocean*, through a series of space-based microwave relays—they would give their right hand to live in that reality. Now that we've created literal magic, we're... simply throwing it away? Bah, humbug).
Wow this is great! Danke
How is it racist? He just picked a random landlocked first place area and a oceanfront 3rd world place? He could have just as easily chosen South Korea and Brazil or whatever other comparison.

I will agree that littering is very much cultural.
You should assume that 100% of global companies will roll over for a court order in their jurisdiction. It would be foolish to think otherwise because if they don't, eventually a bunch of guys with guns will come in and take what they want.
Nobody seems to be addressing the themability of the window borders/titlebar itself anymore. It's weird, because that was a big part of the Cambrian explosion of X11 window managers back in the day-- so many options and so much customization. It was a selling point-- people would go out of their way to run things like Enlightenment with over-the-top themes.

Even labwc's stated "let's try to be Openbox-theme-compatible" goal is highly limited (see support tickets with various missing features) and plenty of other compositors seem to have just limited, baked-in decorations or promises "a plugin ecosystem will appear and fill the hole".

The closest I've seen is Wayland Maker, which at least has a clear focus of "let's copy a recognizable X11 look and feel" but it's a few releases shy of daily-driver, and arguably targets a relatively low-hanging fruit (WindowMaker lacks some of the elaborate scriptability and functionality of FVWM)

I suppose part of this might be because of Client-Side Decoration, where half the software says "I reject your titlebar and substitute my own", but I feel like we're nowhere even at "You can easily get a 1:1 pixel match of the LOOK of your FVWM/CTWM/Openbox desktop", let alone all the weird little feel rules and tools that have developed over the decades. Does anyone even do a pager or equivalent for FvwmButtons on Wayland, or is it all uber-minimal "bars"?

TBH, that's why I try Wayland for about 20 minutes every 3 months and bounce off. I feel like I'm being told I have to accept less. Even if I accept the weird compromises Wayland expects (replacing direct media player and volume control access to hotkeys with a set of compositor bindings and workaround tools, finding a substitute for XScreensaver to protect/exercise my expensive new OLED monitor, probably shop for a new terminal), I still can't make it look and feel like home.
Question for the thread*: are we at a point where we build apps that chew through ad/user data, but put ourselves in a position to not have our
data chewed on?

*Mostly asking because I have come across this sentiment before, not because I think op(s) are engaged in this
We are agreeing, I'm arguing against that dichotomy from the other direction—you don’t always need to know everything under-the-hood. You also can’t always ignore everything under-the-hood.

Sometimes you can get the job done by using a tool like a genie, and that’s awesome (it’s the goal of abstractions IMO). Sometimes you can’t.

You don't always need exhaustive "proof that it works" other than running the thing and looking at the output.

If you can get the job done with an LLM without understanding the code it wrote, then that's awesome. I've seen it multiple times with non-technical people who just want to do some small thing with a Python script. They solve their problem, send their report/email, and move on.
The bridge has been crossed for a few years.

It was a clear as day allegation made by someone for everyone to see. There was no more research to do.

In fairness it was not what the blog was set up to do and have since reverted to cause. I was going to take the articles down but after being harassed felt less inclined.
Framing the practice of therapy as a space for the “self to run and exhaust itself” before becoming receptive to reframing is one of the more concise and clear explanations of what therapy can be.

What complicates the process is that language based thought and emotion run as a two way feedback loop, repetitive thoughts can create neurochemical repeating patterns which can change what someone is able to experience. In this way artifacts of language alone can have an immense amount of power no?
AFAIK, a lot of mobile ad blockers work by proxying your traffic through their servers.

There may be more, but the only one I know works totally local is Firefox Focus.

You can install it, set it as the ad blocker for iOS Safari and never actually use it as a browser.

It’s not 100.0% effective. But, it makes a big difference with minimal hassle.
I agree with one part but to call coding languages verbose is odd. If it's too verbose, pick another language. You can always write asm.
Uniqlo, Gymshark and Lush stop hiring UK workers via gig economy apps
You can try adguard on iOS. It’s an app that you buy as an extension for safari but the block lists are very good and you can enable DoH systemwide as well.
They have much less control over it than TV and newspapers. TV and newspapers have direct editorial control: if they don’t publish or say something on air, their readers and listeners don’t get that information.

Social media platforms don’t have direct editorial control, only indirect control. They can tweak their algorithms to influence the narrative. But the platforms are designed to encourage information to go viral, so they can only do so much of that.
Yes, I guess I misunderstand your point. When did you say that tail recursion doesn't count? And why wouldn't it? That's how you implement recursion efficiently. That's the whole point of the conversation so how come it doesn't count?

And when did we switch from "smallest Arduino" to "system with no OS"? I'm pretty sure that if you keep looking for the smallest platform on which you can run something, anything, you'll find a point you can make and prove, but that's kind of meh. You're not going to run a SAT solver, a planner or an image classifier on an Arduino with 512 KB RAM. You're not going to run Doom on a bank card either. Not because of recursion, because of everything else.

And if you can't transform recursion into iteration, that's a procedure you can't run without recursion anyway.
He's yanking your chain. They both like to tease that they're the same person. Dittmann because it's probably become his livelihood and Elon because he can not get enough attention in this world.
Is it? I'm not familiar enough with those certifications to know if that requires them to divest of their offerings in China.
Monarch is fine for me. But it probably fits under "plaid integration".

I got it when I had kids and my energy and time was redirected.

My prior system was boring: plain text transactions updated daily, and collated using ledger. (Ledger-cli.org)

The reporting and budgeting is top notch, and the lack of an integration means you're on top of every penny since you have to type it out. Honestly even with a full house it was only 2 or 5 transactions a day. Easy.
I use copilot. its decent, b/c it helps me manage subscription purchases better than the other apps.

For example, my car insurance is billed every 6 months, so every 6 mo, I exceed my budget for car stuff. copilot does a better job for accounting for these.
Yeah, this article has bit more details https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/crmn127kmr4o
I might be missing some context, but this seems a bit unhinged? What do you mean?

Hallucination.
It’s not. They’ve held FedRAMP certifications for more than a decade.

Context: We do pay ~0.20 Euros of taxes per kWh. You have to add that to the actual power price.

(And we do pay tax on income before we use that income to pay for power to our homes.)
At least in the UK a lawyer would tell him whether he had a case or not. At least I'd be dealing with the UK court system where I have some chance of understanding it. I also have legal insurance. I do not genuinely believe it would get to court. Cloudflare just handing over details is just chilling. They could have just asked me to take the content down.
So? The issue requires coordination between Pip and PyPI. I don't see what point you're trying to make.
> often throwing it down without cleanup

Around here they're polite and don't make a mess. But on the flip side you could only go around making a mess so long before you got beat up or something and good luck getting a police response for that so it's probably not in their interest to be obnoxious.
I think they are mixing some problems here. They could probably have used their original setup with Postgres NOTIFY+triggers in stead of polling, and only have one "pickup poller" to catch any missed events/jobs. In my opinion transaction medium should not be linked to how the data is manage internally, but I know from experience that this separation is often hard to achieve in practice.
But would you use it to show ads if you have access to such a backdoor?
That's an easy way for your backdoor to be found out. Something like this, if it exists, would be too valuable to be used en masse.
You might not be seeing visible ads but you're going to plenty of sites that are using tons of tracking pixels and making a lot of requests with and about various data you are providing. That might not be as data intensive as auto playing a video ad but it certainly makes a big impact overall.

It is a somewhat interesting take.

What I am interested in as a person teaching a computing course, what is the best way to force people to understand/interact with the code coming from the LLM. I.e. when I give computing problems to students, it is often easy to put the problem in chatgpt and get an answer. In a very significant fraction of cases the code would be somewhat sensible and would pass the tests.
In some cases the output would use the wrong approach or would fail the test, but not often enough to completely discourage cheating.

In the end this comes down to the question of what skills we want from people writing code with the help of the LLM, and how to test for those skills.

Advertising doesn't inherently imply wastefulness or even being spyware or a malware & scam vector.

If all the negative externalities were properly priced in, a lot of bottom-feeding crap at all layers of the stack will die off, but advertising itself will remain and would actually become better as a result for all parties involved.
This was a great article and I really appreciate it!
Trivially true for all individuals. But also, anyone can use this solution.
There aren't specific laws about this, but the law does allow for private businesses, and even public services to set rules around behavior.

There likely is a rule about being disruptive on a bus (or airplane), and it is within the law to enforce those rules.
The bell bottoms referenced are alterations called “flares” where colorful fabric panels were sewn into the garment rather than manufactured whole cloth. To be clear, people knew bell bottom pants existed, but “flares” were what people wore. I believe everyone just started calling them bell bottoms because it was a generic term.

Despite all their crypto bullshit and internal ad networks (which you can ignore/turn off), Brave mobile is great at blocking ads.

For instance ive never paid for YouTube premium to get rid of ads on mobile and allow background audio (yes they charge for background audio). On Brave mobile you can turn on background audio for all media and ive never seen/heard a YouTube ad.
I agree, that is a pretty good feature. You start feeling good when the data saved is in the gigabytes and time saved viewing ads is in the hours
