I'm in the same spot. It seems like every month a post pops up here that's "I hate passkeys" and most of HN seems to agree. I use 1Password, but passkeys have made things even easier. I'd rather have them than any 2

I don’t think Utopia lets you buy it now? In the past you could.

I do a lot of work in the AEC space. This is an interesting idea but I don't find the results very compelling. There are huge houseplan catalogs out there full of mediocre plans. I'm guessing this is trained on that sort of data a

I’ve tried this and it says it will but just keeps cutting in. I hate this feature so much.

Did you use the web back in 1995? It was fun, but it also sucked compared to what we have now. Nothing is ever perfect, but I wouldn’t want to go back.

I think the idea is that it happens before they lock the domain as a business. Before that, if you have an email address you can create a personal account with it.

I just hope that people remember this is just one factor affecting quality of life and making a city work. "Density at all costs" ignores a huge set of tradeoffs that are equally as damaging to a city. Things such as urban form, s

I think you're thinking of the efficient-market hypothesis. The hypothesis is that prices reflect all available information, and "available information" is the key part. The "strong form" includes private informatio

Ok, wow… “The fishermen who first discovered the poor stranded whale started the procedure by poking its eyes out, so that it would "not be able to see us." Over the next two days, the creature was methodically axed, speared and s

I’m sorry you have to make do with that setup. I’d upgrade to an M5 Pro 64GB right away. In fact, your old one has no value. I can safely dispose of it for you.

This is not true. This person is spreading disinformation. They were closed because the Cold War ended and they were no longer needed.

This crosses from quirky to unhinged: During a phone order one season – 2018 I believe – a customer shared this story where he smuggled some Vidalias onto his vacation cruise ship, and during each meal, would instruct the server to ‘take th

This made me think of something I came across recently that’s almost the opposite problem of requiring PDFs to be searchable. A local government would publish PDFs where the text is clearly readable on screen, but the selectable text layer

“every console behaves like it missed the last week of CEC school. They wake the TV, switch the input, then leave the Denon asleep so I’m back to toggling audio outputs manually.” My Roku does this! It will turn on the TV but not the soundb

Cool experiment. I have a PhD in capital markets research. It would be even more informative to report abnormal returns (market/factor-adjusted) so we can tell whether the LLMs generated true alpha rather than just loading on tech duri

What? How does an SUV require less power per cf than a sedan? I would think that aero alone would always be worse for an SUV, making sedans more efficient.

I think this is just to make it so that data centers and crypto mining facilities can be built and operated where owners want. Makes it so zoning and environmental regulations can’t stop you as easily.

As you said, rare earth elements aren't really rare--they are very abundant. But they are mixed in with themselves (there's 17 of them) and lots of other elements. Think of it like if you had 50 different colored sands and had hug

I'm all for the government getting stakes in companies that it invests in (see below), but I find it really odd that we already awarded this money to Intel through the CHIPs Act and, instead of disbursing the funds as a grant, they con

You can just ask Gemini to summarize it for you. It's free. I do it all the time with YouTube videos. Or you can just copy the transcript that YouTube provides below the video.

I agree. I use markdown a lot and was trying to use Mermaid for diagrams in it and it was frustrating. Among the biggest issues I ran into was that text was constantly cut off or covered up.

A couple years ago there were several posts here about not using PassKeys, and I went along with that for a bit. But I’ve fallen in love with them. They’re so nice to use with 1Password. I suppose I might want to stop using 1Password someda
