It's such an important problem that it is sucking all available VC money into an exponentially-growing number of startups promising to make sandboxed agents safe and usable. In other news, MCP exists.

Huh, I don't see that in the permissions list. I do see: - run foreground service with the type "connectedDevice" - discover and pair nearby Bluetooth devices - run foreground service - control vibration

Germany's decommissioned nuclear, and subsequent concentration of base load in Russian gas-fired plants, is certainly a lede your post is doing its best to bury.

That quote is referring to the mechanism for backing up passkeys that only exist on a hardware security key, which deliberately does not exist. Moving keys onto a security key is possible for some devices, but that is a deliberate compromis

Passkeys are somehow 100% seamless for me, except for two services that have somehow screwed up the implementation: Google, and Okta. In Google's case, they have made it so that if you _ever_ add a passkey to their password manager, it

FIDO authenticator attestation is dead for consumer-facing RPs. Apple made the right call and simply refuses to support it outside of MDM environments.

Remember when various crypto systems were barred from international export because they were treated like munitions? When you had to get what amounted to an arms dealer license to distribute open-source software overseas? Yeah, this is just

Ugh, that's a pretty bad name collision.

Absolutely not a good read. Informative, but it tortures the language, as is usual for slop.

It already supports that, try running "jpackage --help".

by tadfisher 16d ago
Are you describing jpackage? I'm not sure how you would make it less bespoke, given you are essentially creating a Java runtime for your program. Maybe the Java folks could tree-shake the runtime for you so you wouldn't have to ca

It's not funny at all, it's deeply alarming. I'm in the wrong bar.

Yes. The main issue is hardware attestation, e.g. the bank's backend refusing to allow you to log in unless you can prove cryptographically that you are running a Google-certified device and operating system.

I suspect your hypothesis is not falsifiable. Maybe randomly advertising golf balls to random people is just as effective, but we don't have the tracking infrastructure in place for non-targeted ads in order to test that theory.

Now that the AI label exists, the creators using AI for an intro graphic or background music are probably going to stop using it.
16.
by tadfisher 25d ago
No, you see, they were right all along, they just "didn't anticipate the public outcry against data center expansion", thus the obviously inevitable AI takeover of the economy is being slowed by NIMBY curmudgeons who should b

You need a desirable currency for that to work. Not every currency has a volume like the USD and Euro.

Wouldn't OHA agreements prevent shipping a non-Google-certified Android? Unless you mean a future device with GrapheneOS might potentially go through CTS and ship with Google apps preinstalled?

The labeling of groups as "terrorist" is intended to justify authorization for military action against those groups, where, prior to the Global War on Terror, state affiliation or outright sponsorship was typically needed for a mi

Sorry, we're on the wrong timeline. The worse one, in fact.

This is no longer funny.

Because it is somehow incapable of separating the conversation with its human operator from the code it is generating and commenting on. Incidentally, this is also why prompt-injection works. No one wants to know about the three other appro

The question is, are we going to have another Volcker willing to raise the prime rate to 20% to counteract our useless legislative branch? Or is the idea of an independent central bank dead at this point?

He can do that without the "Roman salute" part. Or the "methane reactors without emission controls" part. Or the "whining about the great replacement" part.

They could have made basically the same thing except with a sprocket to help drive the chain.

Maybe an "event outcome prediction contract" simply ought not to be considered a "commodity" under any consistent interpretation of the law and the English fucking language.

Visas are capped and farmers don't want to pay for pesky safety things like seatbelts in the transportation vans.

Oh, there is such a rich history of exploiting the underprivileged in the US. The more interesting bits lately center around a special visa for agricultural migrant workers, called the H2-A, which offers some basic worker protections (a min

Your narrative is embellished and does not correlate strongly with the data [1]. Embellished: marriage rates are 33.8% for Black women and 37.8% for Black men, neither of which I would round to 25%. Uncorrelated: marriage rates dropped shar
