The reason why the attack works without “biometrics or device unlock” is because it only works on passkeys that were issued without requiring user verification: > The Pass-ta-key attack is effective when the relying party does not strict

why can’t it be undone? for new installations going forward, why not put the folder in XDG_CONFIG_DIR and an optional symlink from ~/.cargo that can be opted in

This is oversimplified. The proposed question is whether a model with fewer parameters could achieve performance on one language similar to that of a larger model that’s been trained more broadly, which isn’t straightforward to do.

This isn’t technically true. Most model providers don’t send the thinking tokens anymore, so if you switch from one provider to another, you will be missing large parts of the conversation.

Ed’s interview covered many different topics. As an aside, he was asked what he thought of Apple’s position. The juicy side quote is now what defines the interview.

That’s my whole point! It’s ported to unsafe rust, not default rust.

The whole point of the rust rewrite is that bun is now thought to rely on rust’s memory safety features, but that assumption doesn’t hold if everything’s inside an unsafe block.

Palantir pioneered forward-deployed engineering, aren’t they deeply embedded in the above?

It’s my understanding that bun was ported to unsafe rust, so even these gains would require additional effort on the team’s part, right?

This is an amazingly tone-deaf response to what is clearly an personal artistic project with a lot of heart behind it.

I agree with your last sentence, but we can’t partition the budget up so cleanly though. Societal spending is interdependent and additive across domains. Spending on cheap access to safe water or food reduces healthcare costs. Spending heav

Wonder what would happen if a hacker focused all ten thousand of them on a single area for an hour or two. Sounds like a really energy-efficient way to demolish a city. X Wing: Wedge’s Gamble (1996) by Michael Stackpole shows the rebel alli

But in the public image, the EA community is synonymous with doubling down on AI / AGI to the exclusion of the other projects. OpenPhil changing its name to Coefficient Giving, 80000 hours and bluedot and (to a lesser extent) CFAR drop

there are very strong graphical glitches on iOS, it looks like every other fragment isn’t being rendered or something based on the camera angle could the author clarify what we should be seeing or what the point of this is?

Reframing this point: Some good books aren’t borrowed because they’re not discoverable, not because they’re boring. The library is highlighting a few titles for increased visibility to ask, “would this pique a reader’s interest if they knew

It’s insidious! I used Claude code at my last job enough for it to influence my writing and speaking style without me really noticing, even though I tried to be wary of that.

Oh pardon, I’m trying to sarcastically complain how a lot of comments in this thread have a similar form: “I used this pattern in my own agent, which is different from (all the other agents which use the same representation)” Agentic develo

Agree with your critique. I think this work is presenting common ideas as novel without thinking through existing problems. Defining a provider-agnostic event graph that enables full session branching replay was the whole point of pi: http

Very cool work!! This is the same pattern we used at $MY_STARTUP to develop $MY_HARNESS which persists the entire graph to disk, unlike all the other agent harnesses which only store the graph nodes and edges. Event graphs aren’t just the a

Something’s way off with these numbers. The page says it encodes video at 640MB/s which is quite large even for 4D data and doesn’t match the filesize of the demo splat (7.4MB / 2sec, or ≈3.4MB/s). In fact they say the raw fi
