A reference to a value isn't the same as the value itself. I'm confused the point you're making here.

You could keep using the old compiler, no?

I firmly believe that tech companies being responsible for parenting our children is a deeply misguided response to a failing society and overworked parenting generations. I benefitted greatly from early access to computers and the full sca

Yea, that's sorta my point. We're not, or at least I'm not to the point I have a local model as good as Opus yet though.

It's not even that I'm slower at manual coding anymore, though I very well could be, it's that my expectation of my own progress has shifted. I'll be frustrated to only get a fraction of what I could have done.

Big difference though, once you know how to read and write, nobody can take that away from you.

The issue with AI is not its obvious value, it's our dependence on it. I worry what will happen to me when I am cut off for some reason. Local models are going to be really important and hopefully computing costs don't make it too

I can't speak to the quality of the fuzzer since I haven't used it or looked at it thoroughly, but it does seem to cover a lot of ground on features and interesting concepts. I'll definitely be reading more into what you have

I'm not against physical keys at all. I have one on my keychain. I'm against making things hard to maintain ourselves. Being dependent on Apple and Google to agree before we can own our own keys is what bothers me.

Why is a password manager a "service" it should really just be a program and as many encrypted backups as you want. Maybe you pay for them to host those backups, but that's a choice you should be able to make.

How is this easier than just using a password manager? Why not standardize the password input mechanism so they reliably update, etc. I feel like all of the security of passkeys could have been build in a compatible way with new standards a

Bug tech isn't a single entity. But I strongly believe a different group would have finished this obvious gap by now.

It's ao comically bad it proves the while thing is a joke unless you're trusting Apple or Google to sync and back them up for you. One cynical angle at why the backup is being slow-rolled is because the major players have an incen

It's not functionally equivalent, but it is a workaround, but requires doing it on every site (if they allow it) and it cannot be freely moved and re-backed up offline from the site. The actual reason is people have many devices. I ass

Have we standardized a way to backup and export passkeys yet? Do websites commonly allow multiple passkeys to be registered?

I feel like if you're scared of rebasing, you don't actually understand git.

It doesn't and I never said anything about preferences directly. There are however culture wars, and they cause problems throughout the industry and discipline.

Culture wars are sadly one of the biggest inhibitors of progress throughout all of technology.

If they make cars irritating enough, people might give up the joy of driving and pivot to more economical transit modes. I have mixed feelings about this, and I doubt the car companies are thoughtfully doing this, but I do wonder sometimes.

I was originally excited by the flat design revolution because it appealed to my affinity with uniformity and consistency. But I believe now that I was ignorant and lazy. Bad design still exists within flat style rules, and it has an even w

If a thinking machine can find new mathematical proofs we haven't thought of yet, it might also find new medicines and other things that really do make it worth finding a way to live with. If I can ask the thinking machine to find bugs

Google was never immune to spitting out junk BTW. Like I said, if you can't see the value in AI, I'd hedge a bet you haven't tried. Even a brief conversation with google's can help identify a gap in your understanding of

I think it's worth understanding the technology so we can have informed strategies for how to best regulate it. We don't solve the climate crisis by abandoning all the technological progress which has put such a strain on our ecos

Haha, yes 100% I've had the same thought.

I recently learned the term "thought-terminating cliché" and it's so incredibly prevalent in society these days. Always has been I'm sure, but short form text based anonymous communication must be making it worse.

I'm so frustrated by both the zealous AI bulls and the blind AI opposition. There's a lot of issues, ranging over technical, cultural, environmental, and moral problems. But there's also obvious value. To say otherwise tells

I swear I watched this Keynote before when they announced Apple Intelligence. Then proceeded to deliver nothing. Apple is so lost it makes me really sad.
