Surely there are more bots than humans.

>Not even Google reliably lets you fall back to a password, according to the comments in this article.

I logged in with my google password (on my TV, the other method using my phone wasn't working for some reason) the other day even though I normally use a passkey from my phone or computer. It worked just fine.

Kind of, but I have some of my most important passwords and account recovery codes duplicated on paper in a secure place. If there was ever a service that only allowed passkey login (do those exist?), you can't print those out.

What services implement it like this? Don't services usually implement passkeys as a more secure alternative to a password, but password login is still available?

Some sites allow passkeys as an option for MFA, so that could be an issue if the passkey is your only MFA option and MFA is required. But I imagine email would pretty much always be a fallback.

Just make sure you don't lose the passkey to log into your email.

Is he there again? I thought he did everything on his own service, whatever it's called.

Why build pine wood derby cars? Why paint pictures? Or take photographs? Why memorize poetry? Why build things with Legos?

Because it makes your brain think through problems, breaking them down to the point you can build a solution from the smallest pieces. AI may be a big part of the future, but we need to maintain our own human creativity and problem solving skills, and learning the tools that are available will help us to build and create useful things throughout our lives.

The logo has a lambda in front, and I assume that's where the "Λ" came from in the title of the post. But I don't see it in any of the text on their site.

If people really start not connecting them. TV makers will just start including a cellular modem.

I bought 4 quite large heavy duty canvas bags in like 2005 and have been grocery shopping with them since then. I almost never buy more than will fit in those (actually, most trips I just take two of them).

Firefox on win11 here, scrolling the page is super choppy and it pegs my GPU at 100%.

Here is a thread about how OpenStreetMaps handled it: https://community.openstreetmap.org/t/lake-ontario-lake-amer...

>So far, the Lake Ontario relation (1206310) as well as at least one other nearby feature has already had its name=* changed once, though it was swiftly reverted and changed to official_name:en-US=* instead, which is the current status quo as of this writing.

I've recently switched to SilverBullet[1] as my day-to-day note taking and task tracking app, because of it's very powerful ability to embed little queries and scripts directly in a page to build lists/tables/links that based on data from other pages. This looks like an interesting way to leverage markdown libraries in different ways. Nice!

Theremin was invented in 1920. I'm quite sure someone pretended to play a pretend guitar before that.

I her your point, but this is the theremin version of air guitar, so I think it fits.

I have had some success in just asking the spam callers to remove me from their list. I still get a fair number of calls, but they are mostly blocked by Google's filter (though they do get sent to voicemail, which results in lots of 4 second silent messages).

The last few weeks it's been spammy text messages from politicians, though.

Ah, so my constant interrupting myself is a sign of intelligence? That's great news.

But seriously, trying to express the spider web of thoughts in my head as a linear string of words is really difficult for me and that doesn't make me feel very smart.

They just feel less pressure to green wash their products now.

Exactly this. I got into this field because designing programs and writing code is enjoyable. I'm probably behind on using AI and need to get more up to speed, but I never want to stop coding by hand.

Me neither, but I moved a T Mobile number to Fi. It could be different with numbers originally designated to Fi.

Aren't all product names "random" words before they become well known? Some are more descriptive than others, but they're all arbitrary to begin with.

For me, tab location is spacial in my mind, and so many years of having them horizontal makes it hard to switch. Somewhere between 25 and 40 I start having trouble finding things at which point I just close them all and start over. I do use the tab drop-down in Firefox, but mostly to more quickly find things I want to close. Also completion in the url bar to find specific open tabs is quite useful.

A little niche, but that would be handy while directing an a capella choir. Giving starting pitches without a pitch pipe or tuning fork would be useful.

I'm assuming he's talking about the old hardware data cassette vs the software project of the save name?

Tomato, tomato.

I implemented those recursion rules (probably very poorly) years ago. I still often think about the ways I did and probably should have handled those. It was an interesting problem.

We'll just be serfs of the AI billionaires.

>I want AI capabilities to remain diffuse and spread out...

The most widely used AI systems are controlled by a few billionaires. I'd like to see it become much more spread out.
