Wow, I'd love to do this. Any tips on how to build this (or how to help an LLM build this), specifically for ./gradlew?

The U.S. Missile Defense Agency (MDA), in cooperation with U.S. Space Force and U.S. Northern Command, conducted a flight test on June 23, 2025, in which the Long Range Discrimination Radar (LRDR) at Clear Space Force Station, Alaska, succe

Somewhat off-topic: Does anyone know the underlying strength of the keys used as the "root of trust" behind passkey synchronization on Android/iOS? I can't find a lot of documentation on this. It seems like they're

Oh, looks like it. I disabled extensions one by one til I found it was reflect.app's extension. Edit: reported on their discord. False alarm :) Amazing work!!

Small FYI that I couldn't see them in Chrome 133.0.6943.142 on MacOS. Firefox works.

If Apple were to add new APIs, it might be possible to use personal cloud storage (NAS, Decentralized Web Nodes, etc.) with the same UX as iCloud with E2EE.

Maybe they wanted some cached data to get invalidated if users change their passwords?

This has been bothering me, a lot. Google talks [1] about how Passkey replication is e2e encrypted between devices, but AFAICT they're just using a pin + key derivation. A six digit pin is like 20 bits of entropy before a KDF. [2] Has

I recently drove by both the GCP and AWS regions in Oregon. It was so interesting to see one giant facility for GCP, and like 40 separate datacenter buildings for AWS, typically separated by at least half a mile, sometimes tens of miles.

Oh, that's great to know. Thank you both, I'll definitely try this!! :)

I've spent ~150 nights in hotels in the past year, and it's super rare that booking directly is cheaper. I almost always save like 30% on Hotels.com/HotelTonight/etc. I recently wanted to extend a stay and the front desk

They might be using App Bundles dynamic delivery [1] on Android, in which case this isn't really an issue. Helps keep the initial download size small, while allowing larger features to be delivered on-demand. https://develop

Thinking this might be different. I've been curious what the BLE packet structure might look like. Looks like there's 16 bytes of unique id needed for the "Rolling Proximity Identifier" in the spec. Typically iBeacon wou

Also excited because they can likely push both advertisement and scanning into the BLE chips themselves, letting the rest of the system (CPU, etc) sleep. Big win for battery life.

by petedoyle 6y ago
This is huge. A limiting factor has been iOS not being able to (on purpose, for privacy, and battery life) do BLE scanning (edit: or advertising, thanks Slartie) in the background. I imagine this will enable that for specific apps, and I ha

I believe the recently announced Afterburner card for the upcoming Mac Pro is an FPGA. [1] Maybe they're trying to make a reconfigurable accelerator? Would be amazing to be able to decode REDCODE RAW, ProRes RAW, etc, then turn around

Given Apple's strong stance on privacy and not making backdoors for encryption, etc-- could they possibly be trying to prevent supply chain interdictions from the likes of the NSA? [1] Or be trying to detect things like we saw this wee
