It is open source, the hierarchy is the minimal necessary to solve the reasons federated systems fail and centralize (spam, public key lookup for p2p encryption, version updates across the system, difficulty of running a linux server). I wo

1Password is excellent. More people would benefit from just paying for it. Their secret key mentioned in the article appears like it was worth the UX tradeoff. They also stand out for other reasons too.

This isn't accurate - they don't get access to multiple stuff. - Site0 leaks your password because they store it poorly. - It's just one password, but it's still leaked. - You have 2F in 1Password so even though it'

It doesn’t. The threat model is someone gets your password, not somebody gets access to your password manager. If the latter is your threat model then yes having your 2F in there is worse, but really the former is the more common thing to p

Yeah, I was just sharing my own anecdote - I know lots of people that eat it and I’ve personally had it in lots of cities when traveling.

Depends where you live, in SF, LA, Vegas, Austin, and Miami I have impossible burgers all of them time - even Mighty Taco in Buffalo has impossible meat and Buffalo is last to get anything (they “allowed” Uber ten years after everyone else)

Yeah, that's a fair point and probably my only complaint. It's probably necessary (for now) to get the rest of the hardware to be what it is. Probably a high-res high-refresh display would require everything else.

The M2 MBA is probably closest to my perfect laptop. Thin, no moving parts (no fan), very fast, 24GB RAM, super long battery life. I love it.

Yeah - my take on what he said is if you're going to do a layoff you should make it worthwhile. Cutting 5% and incurring all that disruption to just have to cut 5% again later is catastrophic. It's way worse to do multiple rounds

It's "open" relative to all of the research being IP of Google and FB. They pulled researchers into their own org and out of FAANG which I think was part of the motivation. They pitched it as open to the public, but I'm

It really depends - for most crappy non-fiction I'd agree, but the really great ones are different. The Emperor of All Maladies, The Gene, Our Mathematical Universe are some that are better because of their book format. I'd put Ha

The other wrong thing about that quote is that Twitter hasn’t fallen over - it’s operating the same as it ever was.

It’s an interesting question and the answer is also pretty interesting: https://obscuredinosaurfacts.com/post/2022/11/30/bird-brains... There are a few factors and that post gives a nice overview.

My sister had one land on her finger and point with its head to which flowers it wanted her to move her hand to. This was without a feeder, but in an area with lots of people around (at a winery).

If you have a pet parrot you can get a more personal glimpse of their intelligence. We have a cockatiel and it’s interesting to get to know another intelligent species from a different branch of the tree.

Hasn’t tptacek said to avoid lastpass on here (in favor of 1Password) for the last ten years? I don’t know if he ever got into the details of why (maybe he couldn’t for contract reasons or something), but his judgement on it looks accurate.

Unless the OP is also eating some sort of super healthy no sugar diet (maybe they are, but I doubt it) this is just rationalizing a decision made for other reasons. The reason people are annoyed by it isn't because they don't unde

Humanity has been bonding over beer for thousands of years - I'd guess it's adaptive and selected for. The cultural signaling of whether it's cool to give it up or not just comes in waves imo (outside of people with more seri

I don’t know if it was me, but I generally agree that SPACs seem like a bad idea for everyone except the person dumping the result on the public for quick cash. See: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25900091

He’s just being intentionally obtuse, not worth engaging with that type of commenter. I know it’s a bit of a trope, but HN has really declined. Lots of topics just have no valuable discussion here anymore and unfortunately anything Elon Mus

> “ Of course, you could argue the same about much of human "reasoning", too...” This my point - you can argue the exact thing for humans. I thing Turing was actually more prophetic with his test than people give him credit for

Maybe we also operate as a large lookup table for pattern matching (with some initial weights set by our evolutionary history). We have no grounding in truth either (and often confidently "reason" incorrectly). I’m not so sure the

Yeah, in the original gpt-3 paper one of the more interesting bits was that it made similar off by one errors a human would make when doing arithmetic (and they controlled for memorized test data).

I suspect they were related and the earlier CSAM tech was announced because of plans to enable e2ee like they announced today (otherwise the tech didn't make sense since they could just scan the unencrypted photos on their servers).

The apple one was only hash matches with known ncmec images over a certain threshold. Even then there was a human in the loop iirc. So it wouldn’t have been an issue. Google was doing novel image detection though and mistakes there are more

Interesting - their approach to hash checking prior to iCloud upload (only when upload was enabled) seemed intended to allow them to support e2ee which they announced today (without the tradeoff of enabling CSAM). I guess they decided it wa

Looks like they dropped the plans for the hash check anyway: https://www.wired.com/story/apple-photo-scanning-csam-commun...
