I can't speak to all of your browser combinations, but most desktop browsers can present a QR code when logging in with a passkey. I keep my passkeys in a password manager synced between my phone and personal computers. On my work computer, where the password manager is not installed, I can still use passkeys by scanning the QR code with my iPhone's camera app.
Especially when I find that, when I ask an agent not to do something, the mere mention seems to put the "idea" in its "head," making it more likely to ultimately do that thing.
Wow. I was reading this article on a iPhone when the heavy ads crashed my Safari tab. After it auto-reloaded, the paywall claimed I had used all of my free articles. Thanks, Wired.
Zach Barth and his former studio Zachtronics released several entertaining puzzle games based on idealized fake assembly languages. These are a lot of fun and useful for introducing registers and multiprocessing.
I use this feature to reduce Valve's egress bill, but local transfers do seem slower than downloading from the internet. I'm not sure why. I have one device hardwired to my network switch. Maybe Steam is bottlenecked on poorly optimized disk IO code?
The value of code is approaching zero. SpaceX is buying training data and customer relationships.
Google has always been like this. I remember a presentation from the Google Cloud Platform team a decade ago when they smugly asserted that they'd take care of "the hard stuff" while I, their business customer, focused on ... the easy stuff?
A skill is just instructions that the agent can autonomously copy into context. There’s no trust boundary between trusted and untrusted context.
If this can be exploited via a skill, then it can be exploited via untrusted input inserted into context. Does Cowork help with reading email?
Note that AWS ALB does not support h2c. When the client and server do, ALB will dutifully forward the h2c header and fail to handle the upgraded response.
Compiler errors help the chatbot find and fix problems. The equivalent in Ruby, RBS, isn't as widely adopted. Type annotations being in separate files is also inconvenient.
But they do control the routers that peer with external networks.
The entertainment industry has a long history of making successful movies appear unprofitable on paper to avoid paying royalties.
If the payload couldn't execute at install time, it would at runtime? Disabling prepare scripts does not seem like an effective countermeasure.
They also have a bug where people get randomly suspended: https://www.reddit.com/r/ClaudeAI/comments/1b82cpu/where_you...
It happened this year to my one and only personal account. The account was one week old. Unique e-mail address. $5 balance for API credits. No usage yet. Suspended and refunded. Appeal denied without explanation.
I did create the account on a VPN because I was using public WiFi at a tech conference. That's probably what tripped their automation.
You are correct, but you omitted one complication: Clients trust Google's and Apple's servers to faithfully exchange the participants' public keys.
I recently helped my mother-in-law configure a new Windows 11 laptop. I knew Microsoft did this, I was deliberately looking to avoid OneDrive, and it _still_ burned me. It silently uploaded all of her personal documents that I had transferred from an older computer. I was livid.
Microsoft has permanently lost me as a customer. Every friend and family member who listens will upgrade to something else.
Look around your town and try a few regular local group activities. See "third place" for ideas. Be patient with yourself. This will take time, and that's okay.

Some of my most durable adult friendships started at group ballroom dance classes. The studio was a 15-minute drive from my suburban home, twice per week, and focused on social dancing, not competitive. I don't think dancing was the thing that made it work, but funny teachers and regular faces. That studio closed (pre-pandemic, thank goodness). No studio since has recreated the magic, but other activities have.
When a cross-cutting team is responsible for something, it's no longer the product team's problem: Architecture, infrastructure, CI/CD, QA, load testing, security...
Welcome to the club. I registered my own domain and moved my digital life off Google services 18 years ago for this exact reason. If you need another reason: They scan all of your e-mail to target ads at you and your associates. Do it. It's not that difficult!
My "new" mail provider fetches messages from Gmail to create a unified inbox, which helped with the transition. Today, I'm thinking of shutting this off given the volume of misaddressed e-mail and spam that arrives via Gmail.
It boggles my mind that they need a photo ID to prove that my 9-year-old account with a saved credit card belongs to an adult. The linked Steam account is 18 years old.
If you want to compare Redis and PostgreSQL as a cache, be sure to measure an unlogged table, as suggested in the article. Much of the slowness of PostgreSQL is to ensure durability and consistency after a crash. If that isn't a concern, disable it. Unlogged tables are automatically truncated after a crash.
I don’t complain about Electron because I didn’t install the app if I could avoid it.
Pipelines are indeed one flow, and that works most of the time, but shell scripts make parallel tasks easy too. The shell provides tools to spawn subshells in the background and wait for their completion. Then there are utilities like xargs -P and make -j.
This holiday season, hearing my parents rant about AI features unnaturally forced onto their daily gadgets warmed my heart.
It sounds like you're the one in denial? AI makes some things faster, like working in a language I don't know very well. It makes other things slower, like working in a language I already know very well. In both cases, writing code is a small percentage of the total development effort.
Insider trading is a form of theft. Every trade has a counterparty who missed out on those capital gains because they did not have their thumb on regulatory levers.
The very first sentence of the linked article contradicts your alternative theory. These leaders performed similarly to their peers before ascending to leadership.
Infants don't breathe before birth either. A beating heart would provide umbilical circulation for a few fleeting minutes.
Most companies will use the AWS SDK client's default retry policy.
