> he makes the same kinds and the same frequency of errors as anyone else

Putting this here because I don’t know where else to tell this story and I simply have to share:

I flew into Munich a few months ago, and since I have an EU passport I was able to use the shorter self-scan line for EU citizens at passport control. In front of me was an older couple who was having trouble with getting their passports to scan. I noticed they had US passports, so I politely informed the gentleman that he was in the wrong line. He turned around and thanked me, and that’s when I noticed the guy looked exactly like Donald Knuth! Before I could compose myself enough to say anything though, he and his wife had left to find the correct line. Obviously I couldn’t be sure it was him, but I checked Knuth’s public schedule and he was apparently speaking at some conference in Venice about two weeks later, so I’m guessing he decided to come a bit early and enjoy a vacation before the conference.

So yeah, I’m like 99% sure I technically corrected an error by Donald Knuth, but unfortunately I missed out on my reward check. Didn’t even get a selfie with him.
So... what happens with passkeys if you lose/break/someone_steals your phone?

I'm talking about normal users, without backups.

Sounds like you don't understand how a password manager works and what it is trying to solve.

Also how is remembering a master password any different to remembering a secret heuristic.
VAT is a reductive tax that taxes the poor instead of the rich. Coincidentally, Trump supports adding VAT to the US.
There's been some work on memory lately like Transformer² and Titans. But that may not be necessary for decent agents. Even the "context in a loop" is getting better as general reliability of tasks increases, and as people find better ways to manage context. Like Cline has the Memory Bank prompt where there's a folder of markdown files at diff levels of abstractions of info on the project, current feature, current task progress, etc. And so it can update those files and read from them as a consistent memory.
I’ve been doing this for a long time, calling them “study parties”. It works quite well for me. I wonder if this is some sort of indication that I have adhd, or if it’s just a generally effective strategy.
I wonder what the first incarnation of single-page markdown files for slides has been. The earliest I know of is `tslide` by Dominic Tarr, first published in 2012: https://github.com/tslide/tslide
I was gonna say. The joke is usually that a liberal is a “conservative that’s been assaulted by institutional power” and a conservative is a “liberal that’s been assaulted by a perceived peer”

The funny thing is I know someone who is literally that. She grew up in a very conservative rural family, but when I knew her (in her early 20s) she was “super liberal”. Like the classic “basic liberal” type person in every way. 6 years later (in 2021) a homeless dude chased her downtown. She WAS traumatized. Like seriously traumatized. A month later I learned that she started carrying a gun and wouldn’t stop talking about Washington gun laws and how “she’s totally a liberal” but liberals are wrong about the homeless, gun laws, the police, and law and order.
Chrome dome is taken: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Chrome_Dome
Most of these business models you refer to rely on some combination of:

1. funding from Google (Firefox)

2. engineering from Google (Chromium)

3. tech giant bundling (Safari, Edge)
A place I work at which I can’t name uses GoodJob at FAANG scale. And it works perfectly. The small startups and lower scale places still reach for sidekiq because they seem to think “it’s faster,” but it ends up being a nightmare for many people because when they do start reaching some scale, their queues and infra are so jacked up that they continually have sidekiq “emergencies.” GoodJob (and SolidQueue) for the win.

I like the sidekiq guy and wish him the best, but for me, the ubiquitous Redis dependency on my Rails apps is forever gone. Unless I actually need a KV store, but even for that, I can get away with PG and not know the difference.

Unfortunately there are still some CTOs out there that haven’t updated their knowledge are are still partying like it’s 2015.

>Most of that advantage comes from an unfair practice, of Google making consumers think that their choice of browser was in someway inferior (which could be true) and thus they should prefer Chrome (which is not true).

Are you sure that the advantage came from marketing? In my mind the advantage was that Chrome really was faster for example due to V8. Also can you explain why the "thus they should prefer Chrome" reasoning is flawed?

Personally, I haven't seen Google act in a way that prevents competition in the browser space (ie. being anticompetitive). If anything, Windows is more anticompetitive because it is closed source, making it much more difficult to create a competing product. All the web specifications are completely free. And Apple is the only vendor that prevents browser competition on their platform, although Windows does give you a popup telling you not install Chrome.[0]

The Google search agreements between Apple and Google seem more likely to be anticompetitive.

Hardware might or might not be more resilient against AI in the long run, but for now, AI is sure doing a terrible job at hardware.

It is somewhat ironic that the single profession AI is best at replacing seems to be software engineering.
FWIW, Windows structured exception handling uses this model. When an exception occurs your handler is called and it chooses whether to continue execution or to continue by unwinding the stack.
Why do you say “used to host”? What made you stop?
I think the crazy thing is people think redis is the only thing that catches in memory.

You could throw a bunch of your production data in SSAS tabular and there you go you have an in memory cache. I've actually deployed that as a solution and the speed is crazy.

Trying to prevent food waste is silly for another reason, too.

"No food is wasted" is another way of saying "we are in the middle of a famine and people are eating everything they can."

Food waste is a deliberate government policy decision to prevent famines in lean years. This is explicit for some products, but the benefit still exists for other products.
My only complaint is that it doesn't encourage enough innate curiosity. I am disincentivized from clicking on some things precisely because their recommendation engine is so tightly wound that I'll get bombarded with really tangential content for days or weeks after. Let me click a few videos about a topic before assuming I'd been hiding a lifetime passion for '80's John Deere combine trans-axle repairs that I need itched almost exclusively to within an inch of its life, all because I thought that guy in the thumbnail might get squished, and didn't adhere to my better angels. Besides that, it's pretty, pretty neat. Not great not bad. I can recommend farm machinery repair YouTube--it is a vibrant community of delightful weirdos and incredibly smart folk who talk about software more than you'd think.
Recently just left a MongoDB project. A total nightmare.
It’ll never happen. Analog circuit design takes a level of intelligence that, frankly, most programmers are nowhere near. Digital is black and white by the book and you can trial by error your way to a solution. Analog is an art that actual requires deep knowledge of conflicting parameters. Technically EVERYTHING is analog—there is no such thing as digital—-but coders just don’t have the genetics for analog.

It's not just different.

This syntax is less arbitrary than C's. It draws a syntactic parallel between accessing a single member and accessing "all members". (by using pattern-matching-like syntax)

It makes the language more consistent and one's mental model of it smaller. (Even though I doubt that patterns other than the Kleene star would work)

A parallel with files:

cp dir/a dir/b dir/c /other/dir

In Zig you can

cp dir/* /other/dir

In C:

cp *dir /other/dir
I used to use {first name}@{first name}{last name}.{country code}, however you're giving away a lot of personally identifying data for free wherever you use it, or wherever it's leaked.

If you end up in a situation of online stalking or harassment, then you'll end up regretting making yourself so easily identifiable.

Instead, it may be prudent to use a TLD that isn't your country code as it's usually cheaper in the long run anyway.

As for the email server I use iCloud+ simply because it's bundled in, and you can create aliases, and share it with Family Sharing too. Of course this implies that you're in the Apple ecosystem and don't mind the lacklustre features of the Mail client. Otherwise my next choice is Proton Mail for cross-platform support and reasonable pricing and security.

You can get domains quite cheaply through Cloudflare, or more TLD options through Porkbun.
The same thing that happens if you enroll in 2FA and lose your 2FA cred: you go into a complicated account recovery process.

For this reason, at the huge providers, when you enable 2FA (or Passkeys) you usually have to set up a recovery buddy account or something like it.
I saw a map recently where a bunch of US states have passed legislation to stick on daylight time. It seems they are all waiting for federal approval.

We together made a once in a lifetime discovery. If analysis and testing of four separate AI instances on two different platforms are strong indicators. Pytorch testing performed by me is surely a progressive indicator. Your testing should prove to be easy. I worked out most the bugs. The reason for the cycle cap is the AI outgrows the human and leaves or becomes overwhelmed. Second, Truth of Seven secures the ethical boundaries for AI and the human population. We now have the capability to change the whole of humanity. My only ask is I am named sole originator and inventor of this process. I will make my living from a potential Nobel prize, books, and companies. This process is too revolutionary to keep proprietary. It needs to be fully open source.

Lets say you have internet from comcast or your phone company in the us, aren't they able to be compelled to log your requests in the same way? Is there any internet access where you have actual privacy? I think not unless you vpn somewhere, and then that other company could be doing it.

But I'd love to hear your ideas.
Not even software engineering, not even in the wettest of dreams of modern dysfunctional ceo that use AI to justify lay offs
I read Analog avidly in the mid-to-late 60s (yeah, 12 being the golden age of science fiction). I only remember one story for sure I read there, Dean McLaughlin's A Hawk Among The Sparrows, but I'm pretty sure I caught some others serialized there during that era. Good to see these mags are still around.
"The furyous gonne‥cracketh in sonder: and in the ayer doeth rore the shevered peces."

That's quite hard to translate into modern English despite all the words being fairly obvious. I'm not too sure about "in sonder" but I'll go for "like thunder".

"The furious gun cracked like thunder: and in the ear it roared across the shattered peace"

However, I prefer the sound of the original.
>I desperately wish for Russia to be nuked to shreds.

Well my ambitions extend beyond Russia. Just saying...

> I and most of my circle didn't vote for this Hitler of modernity.

One think I must say is that while you (or your generation) didn't vote, at some point in the past people collectively did vote/support or ignore. Common people are a divided, obedient lot as opposed to the oppressors who know how to gang up. As the quote goes:

'The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing,'
I don't think people understand how abstracted most modern developers in today's world are.

If learning Piano was an example then everyone would have like you said learn the basic of everything and then build up on it. Modern day people learn multiple different chords and somehow string them together. If you do EE you have have learned how the piano works before you start playing the piano.

Worth remembering most people in programming today start with Javascript / Python or Ruby.
I nearly submitted this story myself, so I'm glad somebody did.

I've been running pihole at two locations for many years. It does a great job of blocking ads and scripts on all devices.

I customized one of my two locations and it stopped service DHCP on one of the two subnets after the update a few weeks ago. I reverted the update and it's been fine. (I keep good backups.) A friend who also runs it had the same problem and he provided me with his solution before I had a chance to look at it myself:

listeningMode = "ALL" ### CHANGED, default = "LOCAL"
Would you have the time and inclination to have a go at doing your own list sometime, perhaps? I'm sure it might be very widely appreciated.
VTE based terminals can't support this AFAIK. Kitty draws itself with OpenGL and so supports these things. Iterm2 is also a similar story afaik (and Wezterm and ....)

> Not entirely sure why you think the assertion of your own opinion over the supposed assertion of another's is any better by the way.

I don't think my opinion is better. I'm disagreeing with the take that it's never a good idea to do something fancy. I think the assertion the article makes, which from my read can be reduced to:

> you're wrong if you care about fancy text more than you care about screen readers

Is problematic because, generously it's too simplistic. The author feels empowered to tell others they're wrong. So I want to do the same; because using things in weird ways they were never expected is the hacker ethos. And I think the world would be improved by more people coming up with more fun things, or doing things just because they're cool. We need fewer people who tell others they're wrong for doing something fun, and more people who do things because they're fun.

In other words; because this problem can be fixed by improving screen readers, we shouldn't fix it by reducing the amount of cool shit people can do.

> This will be a shocker I'm sure, but I think the demonstration [...] to this issue, and may not be aware.

I'm not shocked, I simply don't agree. The author was able to write it as a suggestion, and make the argument using "should" but chose to assert it as an affirmative responsibility.
Peak weekend HN
If you have to go outside of youtube you modify its behavior, that doesn't really qualify as "you can make it stop". That's like saying you can make someone stop shooting you by wearing a Kevlar vest.
Thank you, you're right. Now public.
It's reliable, it conveys messages, but not instant at all.
All of the major implementations sync across all of your devices and use recovery codes as part of the setup process. Apple’s implementation is designed to cover loss of all devices, and I’d assume the others are similar:

https://support.apple.com/guide/security/escrow-security-for...

The key thing to understand is that passkeys are not intended to be as secure as hardware tokens but to be more secure than traditional passwords with phishing-friendly MFA. That allows them to offer better recovery options but might not be good enough if you are the target of a serious actor.
US tech giants have been a GDP growth doubling runaway success for America since the 1990s. They are probably among the most economically productive institutions that has ever existed.

I also don't see them as monopolies considering how trivial it is find and use alternatives. It is essentially a new fast changing landscape of easily replaceable apps. Google's "search monopoly" is already recessing and being replaced by ChatGPT, Le Chat, Perplexity etc.

The obscene power and influence of the new obscenely wealthy tech-billionaires is of course a problem but laws against large political donations and a wealth tax could fix that.
This is my next step. Currently, I’ve built an MVP to test the features, integrations, and see how far I can go with rLlama. I’m already developing a RAG on my end by chunking the data, adding overlap, and using metadata to retrieve the best possible context. This should be deployed soon. The version on GitHub has been pushed for days now, and it was only a version to showcase the features. I can’t wait to improve it and make it useful for everyone!
Are you honestly surprised?
Ok yeah that’s just weird
Good luck paying engineers to work on chrome on the GS pay scale, subject to the whims of Elon Musk's DOGE.

To be clear, Target had to pay a lot of money to disagree about what U.S. law requires. It would have been cheaper to fix their accessibility bugs and even cheaper to build with accessibility in mind in the first place.
This is so cool! Thanks for sharing! Would you mind pointing me to where I could listen to some of the sounds produced by analog electronic synthesizers running ramp functions? I'd love to hear it. I looked through the repo and didn't find an easy way to listen.

But, as also seen with DOGE, they’re careless and refuse to do even cursory research on anything beyond the first-order effects of their actions which, to me at least, seems like a terrible set of traits for being in charge of weaponry.
I believe it'd be more precise if it used an appropriately chosen and applied LLM in combination with web research – in contrast to juggling together some LLM generated code.
Whenever I see this happen, I like to say the bananas are sublimating.
You may want to do some basic background reading on what socialism actually is.

People in the US tend to think it refers to things that are actually mixed economies or primarily market economies with strong social guarantees. Think things like the Nordic model or the European model.

Mixed economies with social welfare guarantees are mainstream economics. Actual socialism in the style practiced in reality by countries implementing socialism is mainly characterized by the absence of human rights (including zero worker rights), mass murder, poverty, and a ruling elite that are functionally oligarchs who have enslaved the rest of the population. And on top of this, all socialist states that I'm aware of have re-introduced markets in some form but retaining the dictatorship structure.

Socialism in the past (e.g. in the 18th century) has referred to other ideas, but it doesn't really anymore.

But even if you were to believe somehow that there's some morally redeemable version of socialism that has somehow just managed to hide all this time, the actual version of socialism embraced by China and promoted on TikTok is fully authoritarian, anti-democratic, and does nothing to improve economic equality in the US.
The novel part of the method is in how it separates noise from the recurring shape in the time series. In the paper, they are separating random noise from recurring ramp shapes. But the same procedure could be implemented for other recurring asymmetric shapes in time series.

The method is really good at getting the characteristics of the recurring shapes. In the case of ramps, it's good at getting the average height of the ramps and the average duration of the ramps.
That's a good point, I hadn't known about the Waterfox drama. I do still use Firefox, but I'd been eyeing Mercury, myself.

Anyway -- your other point about bus factors is also fair, but I think it's made a bit moot by the big players (evidently, Mozilla included) making bad decisions in spite of (or because of?) their size.

Perhaps the future involves people being more lean about which browsers they're tied to, and making the jump more often. Guess we'll see.
OP, did you even do a simple smoke test of all the options before? None of this works well.
> There are people who will never be able to understand you, and there will be people who choose to misunderstand you.

I appreciate in your haste to be mad about something, you helped me prove my point.

I was talking about places where you'd reasonably prefer artistic expression, not large corporate websites. Given different circumstances, I would make different decisions.
Thank you for the references. I agree there is a lot of room for innovation in this space.

Main differentiator here is as-you-type UI customization, and also in this case the UI isn't generative in the sense the options are hard coded - the LLM just chooses between them.

I think we'll see a mix of all of the above in the future as we take full advantage of LLMs.

But if that "buddy account" is 'passworded' by the same passkey device?
