I haven't articulated my thoughts about passkeys nearly as eloquently, but you did an amazing job here. This really sums up a latent problem I've had with passkeys. Do you have a blog?

Yeah, I mean, I understand the words you wrote. I don't think it's a good analogy. It is entirely feasible that the same amount of potential energy, delivered either in small, successive amounts, but spaced out, proves to be toler

I don’t think this is a good analogy.

This is far outside of my wheelhouse, but I have some serious questions about the methodology here. I dug into what they call a "resiliency checklist", which is what looks to be a set of questions that have qualitative answers whi

Awesome - thank you for the detailed response.

Sure but it's a spectrum. Surely some choices will age much more poorly than others.

Congratulations on the release! I have enjoyed working with htmx very much. I'm still skeptical of htmx being the foundation for a 100-year web service, but I think this is a really worthwhile goal. I'll add that aside from static

What about container registries do robotics companies need that are different from other industries?

I like the idea behind the site, but I have some nits. First, when you list something like a financial figure, you must also include the relevant time period. E.g. you say 16.0B in taxes collected by Canada from American exporters. But you

Interesting - There's a couple of things that I disagree with here, but I do think this resonates: "We all agree with the diagnosis and strategy: stop building new things, bring stability." Where I have a problem with the pos

Don't contributions to private repositories simply show as: "N contributions in private repositories"? Here's me: https://github.com/ryanisnan In other words, I think his private contributions should sti

Here's Vladimir Fedorov's GitHub contribution graph, as linked to as the author of this post: https://imgur.com/a/zIbT0Gi It shows zero contributions in the past year, on this account. This is a huge, huge re

I like the direction of capturing the human intent as a durable artifact, but I dislike how you've gotten there. Let's look at your fizzbuzz example. Unfortunately, if you wanted to have the agent implement fizzbuzz for you, it lo

Yeah, this is so off-base. Or, OP has only ever worked at terribly bad companies.

What a weird line to draw. Data centres do a lot more than what you report. E.g. they might host your electronic health records. They might host census data, or weather data, or your kid's school learning management system.

As the creator of mediaden.ca[1] I’ve thought about this. Client side scanning is maybe marginally better than server side scanning, but both paths lead to privacy rot. Governments need to catch criminals, but they shouldn’t do it at everyo

Uh, I don't think people typically associate downloading a repository, and viewing the source, as being synonymous with activating a malicious payload. That is the bit that's concerning. I'm also so tired of people groaning

Kubernetes is really powerful, but IMHO, it is the wrong tool here. It might be the thing you use to power this system, but the benefits of Heroku were precisely that it didn't need you to think about the guts of a system like Kubernet

Amazing, do you have some example images of what the product looks like?

I made Media Den, a privacy-by-design iOS photo and video vault. I launched in April, and I've been steadily updating it as time allows. Really happy with how far it's come. Here are the notable privacy-by-design features I'v

This is pretty nice. How often are your PRs held back by these checks failing? Nice work.

How does this differ from just, say, giving someone an HTML dump of a static site? I don't quite understand what this protocol offers. How exactly is it peer-to-peer if it's essentially an offline, transfer via hardware?

I'll bite, because this is HN and I think there's more space for genuine discussion here, not because I desire to be right. First, addressing my first point about how this is "the modern equivalent of an ad hominem attack&quo

That makes sense. Thanks for responding! Someone elsewhere in the thread mentioned downgrade attacks. I presume if you wanted, on either the client or the server, you could disallow pure ML-KEM if you didn't trust it, preventing this v

What a reductive take - attack the argument or move on.
