Works fine on iOS. All my passkeys are in 1Password, and every prompt to use or save a passkey goes through 1P. You can also control which password managers are active on iOS (eg, I disable iCloud passwords, and only allow “autofill from” 1Password.)

So yeah, this is cross platform on iOS, macOS, Windows, and Linux.

Exactly

Well yeah, AI loves to focus on things that sound important but aren’t actually that important. Like “unapologetically native.” Um, no one is shaming native apps. There’s no actual drama here. But of course the AI doesn’t actually think, it’s just adding text that looks shiny and important and catchy

Yep, and if you want good Adblock on iPhone use Wipr.

Every societal shift that puts large groups of people out of jobs gets protested. Just look at how protected various groups are (like car dealerships vs online sales) because they lobbied at the right time. Same deal for the groups protesting Waymo.

The human thing to do is to protest if your livelihood is going away. That’s not evil. But it is a problem when the government just encodes one groups desires even if it’s not actually better for people.

If a community sees a building going in that they think will pollute the community (light noise, water, literally anything), they have a right to protest and push back. Does it matter what the reason is?

People are concerned about data centers because they are perceived to be disruptive and polluting, and not offering a public good to the community.

People are concerned about LLMs because there are existential questions about work, information (and misinformation), learning, and so much more. That big AI firms don’t have any answers for other than “oh yeah we’ll bulldoze that career.”

So yeah, people are concerned about this, and it’s valid. This does not make them generally anti-progress or anti-human or even anti-technology .

Anti-AI sentiment isn’t a leftist specific thing. Tech workers are predominantly liberal in my experience, and many like AI (or at least don’t despise it) but also have progressive views on other things.

I’m also not aware of any republicans or conservatives advocating for UBI.

Corporations are kind of a 3rd party here. They’ll do literally anything for profit, celebrate pride month for the liberals, give Trump some considerations at inauguration for the conservatives. So yeah, tech AI CEOs opine that their companies will usher in a new era of prosperity, but this is probably 90% PR speak

NodeJS can strip types internally without a straight TS dependency. I don’t think this matters, TS was a huge bottleneck for many build pipelines because it never parallelized well

Exactly, I finally migrated that old service to typescript and cleaned up some really annoying tooling, for example. I’m more productive and can get quick fixes out very quickly. We’re also seeing agents help identify incidents faster than human investigation can. But big structural things that are hard to integrate still take lots of time.

Tangent: philosophically to me, art is inherently human. What makes art meaningful and impactful isn’t whether it looks good or cool. It’s the story of the artist, the context of the art itself, the hard work and struggle involved, the meaning represented by a human creating something very specific to their own personal context and taste. Or a mix of any of that.

Can AI be used as a tool to help create art? Absolutely. But as a rule, I do not give any shits about AI generated content like this. It’s not art. It’s not human. And the line is really how much meaning and effort _a human_ is putting into it.

If a human spends a minute or two prompting AI and then tweaking The result, and peddling it as their own art… get outta here. You made some content. That’s easy, and no one should cares. Content can already be shoveled out faster than we can watch it with or without AI.

Meaningful art is not mass-produced, generated content.

I realize art is completely subjective, so some person may find meaning in AI generated art. That’s fine, and that’s part of what could make that art. (Like an original way of presenting something that really resonates with someone.)

But this garbage ain’t that.

And I realize this is just a capability test, but plenty of places will see this as cheap and good enough. But it ain’t art, and we should push back against another cost-cutting measure that does nothing to make the world better.

Why not both?

At the end of the day, it’s surprising there’s not a national ID database. I mean it practically already exists (social security). The government will have systems to identify its systems.

The real problem is that these systems exist, but:

It’s a horrible experience for the citizens. Your SSN is deeply insecure, used as a username/identification AND a PIN code or password, and is a tiny piece of paper that can easily crumble. On top of that, you have like a bajillion different forms of ID, and it’s frequently unclear who requires what. A “driver’s” license for CARS is the most commonly used identification for practically everything, a passport costs money and isn’t that easy to get… you move two miles to a different state and everything has to change.

We’re getting all of the privacy cons and none of the benefits. Let’s at least get the benefits.

And also, it could totally be cryptographically more secure and private if we wanted. Like scanning to verify age being able to track your name/address.

But in my view, citizens should get a proper ID card at birth that just covers everything. Instead of the current half assed system which has ALL of the same negatives.

I didn’t fully understand the part of the stack you’re talking about, but it always seemed like one of ATProto’s design goals was to really keep everything on the same distributed system (so to speak) while allowing people to host the bits individually that all contribute to the same connected system. Eg not having fully separate networks that don’t talk to each other

I think decentralization is just not something users care about generally.

- many people wish they could control what they see and who they talk to. (Eg control the algorithm, avoid censorship from big tech)

- some people care about owning their data so it doesn’t go away when a company fails

- technical people are interested in building more types of social apps that aren’t just twitter posts etc

- nearly everyone just wants a fairly seamless experience without a lot of gotchas or technical problems to solve like self hosting an instance for your friends that falls over if too many people use it and is tricky to network with others.

Bluesky is trying to solve all those kinds of problems, which I think is pretty interesting, and I don’t think the others are quite doing the same thing technically. At the end of the day they are all pretty niche.

Sleep disorders are 100% a common issue with ADHD (as my psychiatrist explained)! I’ve been on guanfacine (1mg) but it doesn’t really help with sleep. It’s only the first couple weeks that you feel drowsy from it, after that it doesn’t help. But it does help me want to get out of bed in the morning which is pretty nice.

It’s wild to me you’re able to shut your brain down that fast!

It just doesn’t work. It starts getting light around 4-5am in the summer and 8am in the winter where I live

Yep. I mean I knew Amish growing up in PA who didn’t observe daylight savings time and just kept it the same year round. And they’re living off the land more than most.

It’s such an annoying pattern. When bugfixing, Opus will frequently dump massive amounts of useless context into comments when documenting changes, which is relevant to the conversation and dev process but not to future readers. I’ve found that having it just do an audit of all the comments it writes can be helpful. Like, “remove comments by default but keep a brief summary when there’s important context” can help a ton after the initial draft.

It is similar in Seattle. Large residential developments have a wastewater surcharge for several years to help upgrade infrastructure. Which normally just gets added as a line item in the utilities bill they pass off to residents.

Eminent domain is tough, and to be clear, wasn’t used in this case.

I imagine nearly zero people are fine with their home being demolished for an infrastructure project. Unless they hated where they lived already. But how else would you ever build infrastructure projects? Sometimes, by nature of where the infrastructure needs to go, properties need to be acquired and buildings demolished.

A question is whether infrastructure needs to be built. Unfortunately, yes. Because we live in an economy that only works if things grow, we can expect life to be worse if things don’t grow. And the only way to avoid new infrastructure projects (in general) is to avoid growth so that what you have today works for all future needs.

We can dislike that all we want but I think it is true about how the US economy works.

Well, taxation is not “most of your earnings.” Not even remotely close. If we’re talking theft, maybe look at the companies reaping profits off your labor without sharing it.

I think your definition of slavery is highly insulting. Slavery is bad not because two people agree to have this profit sharing scheme as you seem to be implying.

Slavery is evil because one person is nearly fully and entirely controlling another person’s entire life, usually for the “owner’s” gain, without the other person’s consent.

Then don’t answer it? Or just give a seconds worth of context into why you think it’s not important?

Well, it’s fucking annoying. When I’m asking a question and I put time into understanding the context and problem space, and already did some analysis with AI, I’m looking for a human opinion. I want my colleagues who know stuff to use their experience and their brain for a second to help the team.

I don’t need Claude to give a second opinion on something that Claude already ran through. It’s fucking useless and it’s a huge blind spot.

This shit happens when everyone in an organization is expected to use Claude to answer questions and do the initial investigation / analysis. Yeah, I did that. Now let’s get to work as humans and provide our expertise, and not turn it into an AI circle jerk.

Having the option to say “hey siri turn on the fan” while you’re in bed is pretty nice. This kind of thing works pretty reliably these days with the right setup. The fan still has a physical switch.

The captcha itself (matching pictures to text) is mostly for ML training data. I think pass/fail is mostly based on heuristics like how you moved your mouse which could get analyzed before you complete the captcha. https://www.techradar.com/news/captcha-if-you-can-how-youve-...

reason why is 1. Google and others really needed the training data, and 2. it probably helped justify the cost of providing the captcha service for free worldwide (old free tier was 1M/mo)

Completely irrelevant to the discussion at hand though. Ok, so every massive company (including OpenAI) is built on anti-trust violations. I agree we should go after everyone for this, but whether Apple has done bad stuff is a complete distraction from IP violations at OpenAI

There are two direct quotes in the article. The first is from Jaredd saying he works 90 hour weeks. The second is from Jaredd/his new company saying if you care about work/life balance, don’t work at this new company. So that’s definitely not an ad hominem.

The other stuff maybe, I’m not familiar enough.

This is unprofessional and embarrassing for Zig

This isn’t like the official stance of the zig foundation or anything. I for one am happy to see people being honest about their frustrations instead of playing politics.

Stop trying to attach it to moving things. Movements breaks things. Just put the panels by the rail

Literally, they are not being attached to a moving thing and are being put by the rail lol. Just in between the tracks.

Like you say, PV cells don’t have moving parts and don’t need much maintenance. So mass produced cells you can slap anywhere are really not a bad idea.

I think that’s a choice people can make for themselves. Thing is, cheating is an existential threat to the entire business model. Games like Valorant rely on a player base that keeps coming back, and a competitive scene where if you work hard, you can move up the ranks and maybe even make money one day. Players quit over cheating. You log in, you play hard and good, but you just can’t win because there are cheaters. These are games you’re trying to be good at… It’s incredibly demoralizing. Happens enough times, and you’ll find a different game not plagued by the same issue. And then your game is dead. You make money off it being a live service, and so maybe your business is dead too.

So it makes a lot of sense for a company releasing a new FPS game centered around competitive gaming to pull out all the stops to prevent that issue.

Now, the bigger question here is why can I play a game like Overwatch 2 on Linux, but not Valorant? Does Overwatch have a bigger cheating problem? If not, then Valorant should take a look at why their anticheat is just as effective without requiring kernel access.
