Passkeys have way too many footguns for me. If I use my phone to sign in I'm going to accidentally create a passkey there on iOS embedded webview. When I use Google Chrome, the website won't give me any information for me to find where I stored the passkey. Was it in iOS keyring? Chrome? My Bitwarden? If I had any discipline around this it would make sense but if I accidentally double tap on the screen I've got a passkey and it's stuck on my phone.
I'm sure it's of use to many people but it's been no end of pain for me and it has really signaled to me what it's like to grow into an old man unable to use computers when I was once a young man who would find this easy.
The attestation actually has nothing to do with the browser, only the holder of the passkey's key material. You can satisfy the attestation by having a passkey on your Android device and doing the normal Bluetooth flow with your Firefox browser on your Framework laptop. So this mechanism is totally useless for enacting this plan.
The operation system doesn't manage attestation because that's totally useless for the stated goal of the attestation system. Enterprises don't want passkeys for their SaaS vendors to accept passkeys from some random employee's BitWarden, instead of the hardware keys they issued the employee. If the OS manages attestation and doesn't send anything to the relying party, then it doesn't solve anybody's problem at all.
"we put them into our agreement." is strange framing is Altman's tweet. Makes me think the agreement does mention the principles, but doesn't state them as binding rules DoD must follow.
>Surely if OpenAI had insisted upon the same things that Anthropic had, the government would not have signed this agreement.
Have we been watching the same Trump admin for the last year? That sound exactly like something the government would do: pointlessly throw a fit and end up signing a worse deal after blowing up all political capital.
Why should we take this tweet at face value? It seems like every one is OpenAI's "values" lasted exactly as long as needed to outgrow the risk of backlash to something they were doing.
The big feature for me was being able to have multiple photos of the PCB side by side with perspective corrections so locations were correlated across the board.
And so we have the other side of the coin. Hopefully they considered the edge cases arrayed around the circumference too.
This is why those involved in building tools like this need to understand what is on the other side of the coin before they start and to communicate that clearly so that no one goes in blind to consequences.
He’s certainly solidified his place in the history of this era.
But I suspect the sentiment will eventually turn against him. When society turns its pitchforks on big tech he’ll be the poster boy. A 21st century John D. Rockefeller.
I simply do not understand why Americans tech companies and their employees will hew and cry about supporting the military. For those of you who support their position, have you ever stopped to consider that your safe, comfortable lives of free speech and protests and TikTok and food and gas and Amazon Next-Day deliveries is enabled by a massive nuclear deterrent operated by the very military you oppose?
It is just so disappointing to come here and read these naive takes. Yes, Anthropic should be compelled to support the military using the DPA if necessary.
Oh sorry, no I meant them shoving Biden into the candidacy despite clear health issues, shutting down any primary challenge, and swapping Harris in late in the game when it was abundantly clear Biden's health was a problem.
I read Hyperion in hs; and so much of what I read afterward (Chaucer, Boccaccio, Shakespeare, Keats, Eliot, Valéry) was influenced by Dan Simmons writing about it/quoting it. At this point, I doubt I could tell you where his influence on my taste & opinions on fiction begins or ends. Gone too soon.
Have you not read the Usage Policy that regular people have to follow? For example, you are not allowed to use their API to automatically summarize your blog post and share the link on X as you are not allowed to make posts automatically.
You can’t be silly enough to build a product that enables things like mass surveillance to proliferate and then try to take a stance of “please don’t use it like that”. You invented a genie and let him out of the bottle.
Why the fuck does the president have authority to set specific IT policy for the government. He might not even have it, he loves making policies he doesn’t actually have the authority to make.
