  > Every device is supposed to have its own unique private key, stored in TPM, released only when passing the user challenge (biometrics or pin, or a yubikey).
I have just shy of 2000 site credentials in Keepass. Let's assume that they were all Passkeys.

1) When I buy a new device, how do I create 2000 new Passkeys for that device?

2) Can I still do that if I don't have access to the old device? Maybe it was destroyed, stolen, or lost.

3) How about if the new device is from a different vendor than the original device? E.g. switching from Apple to Android?

Not just the shape, but also the mass placement and rigidity. I explain this in another comment, I don't want to cut and paste redundant info here but keep scrolling and you'll find it ))

It's not just geometry, it's also where the mass is. And the rigid areas.

Aircraft wings oscillate during flight, the location (and movement) of mass within them (e.g. fuel) is critical to model.

Also, the location of the fold is likely less flexible (e.g. more rigid) than the remainder of the wing. This will greatly affect the dihedral angle of the remaining outboard portion of the wing.

Don't marry yourself to the Apple (or any other large vendor) ecosystem. I use Keepass variants on my Linux and Android devices, it's absolutely terrific.

  > distealling
Apt typo.

Though I am of the opinion that distilling is no different than how extant frontier LLMs have also been trained on other people's data, I could actually see the word distealling becoming useful in discussion.

Thank you.

I only recently noticed this on 3 minutes of aviation. Considering the 4 7 was originally designed for the passenger jets to be easily converted to cargo, I found it quite peculiar that the two -400 variants left the factory with different fuselages.

I did this when I taught my third grader calculus on the train, when she asked a question about the train accelerating faster sometimes than other times. She loved it, but I was just taking advantage of children's natural curiosity.

Do you have some examples that the adult could instigate, rather than waiting for the child to express curiosity?

Saves time, as in "no need to read any further".

The fact that a publication would think that using AI to "confirm" a forecast bodes poorly not only on the publication, but also on those who would rely on such a forecast.

  > and should never have been allowed to occupy a position of authority. He has some charming qualities
This is quite the contradiction in a democracy. Democracies, at least in modern indirect democracy form, are popularity contests.

I personally prefer this form of government over other popular choices. But ignoring this aspect is exactly what leads to unqualified people being elected to office.

AI has freed most people I know from the tedious job of writing actual emails and birthday greetings - leaving then more time to e.g. wash dishes or clean the floor.

Seriously, if arts and creativity is what sets humans apart from other animals, then AI has almost completely displaced our capacity to even consider doing these activities ourselves. People reach for AI when they should be composing a birthday greeting themselves.

I respectfully disagree. For all the use cases shown on the linked page, a 240 DPI printer would not be acceptable.

  > All american fridges contain at least 20% expired condiments, by volume.
Refrigerators are generally sized between 300 and 500 liters. Are you suggesting that most (I won't even say all) refrigerators have 60 liters of expired condiments?

How hard a sell that is depends heavily on how much that person values their time. I know people who are experts in their field, who have had their with-source Wikipedia edits reverted to incorrect or misleading information by people who have more time to argue online than they do.

There is no irony. Drawing attention to these works is likely the reason this bool was introduced in the first place.

At the 2400 DPI that an HP printer can handle, the printer needs to place the head at 1/100 mm precision three times for every single dot on the page, and not smear them, despite not knowing what thickness or weight or finish the paper has. That is not trivial.

This printer uses HP 502 cartridges. Readily available, but don't expect to save on ink costs compared to a regular HP printer.

They do claim that this printer will print in black when the colour cartridge is empty, which they imply is not possible with common printers. The only time I ever encountered that I simply removed the colour cartridge and the printer was happy to print in black.
