jetpackjoe··on GitHub Copilot: The Agent Awakens
You might be asking it too much, or not giving it enough context.

I've found the Cursor Agent to work great when you give it a narrow scope and plenty of examples.

Not from the UK and not a lawyer, but if a new warrant was served, then not providing the password would be a new offense and double jeopardy would not apply

I imagine that in the US, the actual prosecution is handled by US Attorneys though (the DOJ), and not the Post Office

> Prompt: Give me the lyrics for Heigh Ho from the Cinderella Soundtrack

> ChatGPT: "Heigh-Ho" is actually a song from the soundtrack of Disney's "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs," not "Cinderella." The song is famously sung by the seven dwarfs as they head to and from their work at a mine. Here are the lyrics:

That's literally deflation.

Google domains was baked into GCP and had "enterprise" users.

Doesn't keeping the seed remove the whole point of one time passwords?

If an attacker steals at TOTP, its only good for (I think) less than a minute. If they steal the seed, its good forever.

Being able to CMD+c to copy things in a terminal is one of my favorite things about programming on a Mac. Ctrl+c to copy everywhere, except the terminal (there it instead is an interrupt) is a major annoyance working in Linux
jetpackjoe··on The Copenhagen Interpretation of Ethics (2015)
What this article really misses is that if you exploit someone at slight better conditions than they were previously being exploited, you are still exploiting them, and morally responsible for that.

Their status page is reflecting the new outages. Good on GitHub for actually updating that quickly.

jetpackjoe··on Ask HN: Who wants to collaborate?
I'm building out a new budgeting/personal finance app born out of frustration with YNAB. Would love someone skilled with UX to help me out with it. The front-end is a react application, and the backend is Elixir/Phoenix.

Some of my frustrations with YNAB:

* Rigid categories. This makes you do a lot of work up front. I am envisioning letting people just assign categories on the fly without having to pre-define them.

* What do to with my money? In YNAB, every paycheck you are a supposed to give each money a job (a category). In practice, there is a very little guidance around what to do if you have too much, or too little money. I'd like a little less flexibility here, as well as the ability to create/define rules to help make actual assignment of funds more automated. ( I have some ideas about this).

* Its very common to budget intermittently. But you can come back to your budget after a month and have 100s of transactions to go through, your categories are all underfunded, and you don't know what to do, so you click "Make a Fresh Start". I also have idea around this

* Reports: The default reports in YNAB leave a lot to be desired. Extensions like "Toolkit for YNAB" help, but good reporting should be a first-class citizen of a finance app.

* Tagging transactions. related to the above, tagging transactions will help with reporting and seeing where your money is going.

-------------------------------

If any of the above interests you, my email is in my HN profile. This is a side/after-work project, not a full-time one.

jetpackjoe··on Blockchains don't solve problems that are interesting to me
You may have missed the memo_id[1]. If you still have access to your Keybase account, you can try Coinbase support. Assuming you sent it to the correct address, they should have the funds and may return it to you if you can prove you own the sending address. (No idea if this will actually work).

Stellar has since fixed this by enabling exchanges to require a memo.[2]

Stellar (XLM) I think solves all these, including clawbacks.
