Any incremental advance is better than nothing where our rights are getting eroded faster than we can contact the ACLU to start investigating whether or not we have a case. The American Right have figured out that they can DDOS the legal sy

Bank's signed payload includes part of the webauthn public key _and_ your ip address. If you modify the payload, it breaks the bank's sig. If your IP doesn't match what you had at the bank, the RP rejects you. If you can&#x27

Fair point...but worth the effort? Also, what if the bank signs your ip-address and user-agent-header as part of their payload back to the RP? That's like mission-impossible / hack into Langely level of effort to get into pornhub,

But the bank doesn't know where you're going. Only that you need to attest to verification. Further, if you encountered a bad KYC actor, there's this; which if I understand it makes it impossible to correlate you to a mercha

Fair point on the timeout. Webauthn ties the public keys to your device; chases signature of it verifies it; your webauthn authentication of chases signed version of your key proves it was you the whole time. Nested dolls/Chain of cust

Exactly. No one way will solve this problem, but this would knock out a lot.

Same reason banks offer free checking. Initially they could charge as a premium service, but eventually it would become a commodity. Not offering it would be weird.

Webauthn public key for pornhub gets signed by chase and authenticated on pornhub along with chases signature. I give that to you, chases signature is valid but you can't perform webauthn auth. Thats why you cant sell spun up credentia

Webauthn ties the credential to your device.

It is, Claude and it boiled down to this. My original idea was to have the bank sign a thing that contained your ip address and user agent; have the bank add in an age claim; and copy/paste it to the RP. I figured it would produce a do

Fair enough. Who is putting a lot of trust in the bank? They're slimy af and would sell their grandma's pii for an extra dollar; but that can't happen here. Bank doesn't know where you came from or where you're goin

This is the key to everything in the US right now I feel. Laws exist, but they're not being enforced or are difficult to enforce legally. This lets people at the top do whatever now since the eventual consequences (if any) are way out

Super interesting point that struck a chord with me. Without the risk of rejection, the ai will come off as a sycophantic ass kissing yes-man. It might be seductive at first but will get old fast for most people, I would imagine. What would

For what its worth I think this is super cool. As a serial wantrepreneur I know what the letters SEO and A/B testing are but little else about this side of business. As a total novice, the ability to run a bunch of experiments quickly

fwiw, I feel like LLM code generation is scaffolding on steroids, and strapped to a rocket. A godsend if you know what you're doing, but really easy to blow yourself up if you complacent. At least with where models are today; imho.

Not the prettiest thing in the world, but: Get a cheap box fan, cheap mosquito netting type material, and duct-tape. Cut the netting to size and tape it to the fan so that anything that goes through the fan gets caught in the net. Put it in

Not a silver bullet solution for sure. Gyms especially. But for SAAS services, tv type subscriptions, etc - it works well. Ymmv.
