You can decide what appetite for risk you are comfortable with, but some people don't have any better option than logging in to accounts on a public computer. The industry is pushing this system as the new universal answer for authentication, it NEEDS to work in every scenario passwords do.
(...and I’m pretty sure plugging my yubikey into a locked down public terminal is not going to solve this, either.)
I use Bitwarden on Linux. There is no option to do anything with a passkey I have stored there except delete it.
We've all been through at least a couple rounds now of the security industry pressing us to change how we log in, ostensibly in our best interest: impractical complexity requirements, 2FA, "magic links," ridiculously short session expiry, whatever this bullshit is with the username and password on separate pages that make your password manager less convenient.
The only observable outcome of each of these changes has been making these products less convenient for us to use. At this point I don't think I am alone in being knee-jerk opposed to any further "improvements." I have yet to see a website make a case for a passkey being more convenient than what it is replacing, so I will continue opting out of them as long as I am allowed to.
Anthropic has been running the exact same video ad in my youtube feed for months showing a guy making the tackiest "impossible" coffee table hanging from chains that I wouldn't even bother clicking on if it were a thumbnail from a favorite woodworker. I'd think if ChatGPT were such a great creative tool they could use it to create more than one ad....
I also wonder whether the roof rule was written preemptively or retrospectively -- I hope the former.
Presume you're referring to [1], not the page you linked, and one might be inclined to accuse you of __feigning surprise__ but if not: using the roof is a quite common expectation in mid-rise buildings in big cities like NY, though not usually in a building you don't yourself own/lease in.
Good point, consumers should all simply develop their own apps instead of buying a product.
I have a couple of these, they are made of a light gauge sheet metal; the inner dimension is ~9.75", wider than the 10" standard hole spacing; and I don't think they would be very structurally sound if you were to remove the back panel. Doesn't seem very well suited to me.
however the big question to answer was : is the radar sensitive enough to tell the difference consistently between a material, and it's same counterpart with asbestos shards and at what concentration ?
Unless I missed something, it seems the "POC" device still made no effort to address this, which is the core feature — it just demonstrated classifying some other common materials. If that's true then the conclusions make no sense to me - why would customers be lining up if you still haven't proven the actual concept?
For most people, the purpose of college is to get piece of paper that will open up higher salary opportunities
More true at an Ivy than anywhere else.
This year, the economist decided that both the midterm and the final exams for his course would be of the take-home, closed-book type (there is a certain tradition of this at Ivy League schools).
If this guy thinks AI is motivating his previously guiless student body to start cheating on these tests, rather than simply changing the way they are cheating, he's been sniffing too many of his own farts.
I wouldn't. Most uncomfortable earbuds in the market at any price.
The very first paragraph of TFA adequately explains this.
No prosecutor is going to waste their time trying to convict someone based on metadata. Even video is often insufficient for a conviction.
I would guess if anyone wants to use this thing it will mostly be for 12" singles, optimal groove packing is not a concern for them.
This is the most recent thing I put together (sry it's on LinkedIn, haven't posted the series elsewhere yet) https://www.linkedin.com/posts/adenta_episode-1-of-midwest-d...
I’m dumbfounded you had the audacity to post this garbage.
TBH as vapid as it is I think the overwhelming majority of people would call the AI video more entertaining. I mean good lord nothing happens in the first 3 minutes of Lumiere's movie except a bunch of academics waving their hands around.
Push whatever crap to your github you want, but don't waste my time by sharing something that's not ready to share.
Why would users care if you're using the same type checker as them? Surely they're not expecting all their imports to be instrumented for running redundant types checks?
idk why people even post stuff like this without a sample. i also don't get why you would call something like this a "local app" when all the work is done thru commercial apis?
So it's a dictation tool? Then why does "voice to text" barely appear on the page? Why are you describing it here as an AI assistant but the page doesn't say anything about that? "Understands my screen"? Why does my dictation software need to understand my screen? I don't know what "text generation", "AI editing" or "AI writing" even mean.
1. I think this is exactly the wrong venue to get valuable answers to this question.
2. Nonetheless, I'll give you mine as a counterpoint to the consensus:
A CS degree has never been a strict requirement for entering its field; we could debate how the value of one will change in the near future, but: nearly every other Engineering degree is a prerequisite for practice, and imho all of those other career paths are much less likely to be affected by AI than Computer 'Science' is. If you're selecting for job security, I would strongly consider one of those other avenues. And take a couple CS classes for good measure so you be well positioned to engage with AI in whatever form it does come to your field.
The "you" in the title's reference to "your push notifications" is not the user, it is the marketer. That tells you everything you need to know about the value of this piece.
"what is the best tool for doing x" and I can't trust that the answer is going to be the truth according to all available information, You think AI has some way of assessing the truthiness of "all available information?"
Same, but the content on the page they linked for it and the design choices made in the hardware don't give me the impression that they are seriously interested in developing this aspect of the project (unless someone shows up who's willing to do all the work for free without pushing back on any of the preconditions they've set in stone with the hardware design, of course!).
If you're trying to convince people to contribute free labor to your for-profit product, you at least need to disclose what kind of MSRP you're shooting for -- why would someone help you build something that ends up being nowhere near a reasonable price point for the use-case that attracted them to it?
If this is something meant for a general audience why are you using "edge-tech?" If this is for industry professionals why are you posting it here?
I couldn't even get it to do anything indicating it was functional on my laptop.
*people associated with counterculture and anarchists who also have thousands of dollars of discretionary income.
infamous: adjective
1. Having an exceedingly bad reputation; notorious.
"an infamous outlaw."
2. Causing or deserving severe public condemnation; heinous.As I understand Spotify et al may do something a bit more sophisticated, but the traditional model for podcast analytics purely tracks downloads, which could very well be your client auto-downloading a subscribed episode you never play. I don't think anyone actually has visibility of "listens". And the traditional model for ad sales is a creator (or an agent on their behalf) emailing a brand "Hey, we make this podcast which gets X monthly downloads, want to buy an ad read?" I think they usually point to iTunes store rankings to somewhat support these claims but again, iTunes just tracks downloads. (Obviously, this is all rife for fraud.)
nothing remotely like the described demo in the video you linked.
the blog post linked from there with remediation instructions, however, does not.
