I'm not a fan. But what Anthropic SHOULD have done is use plain ol' SSO. Google, GitHub, Microsoft, etc. logins with the option to do this magic link stuff. The third party auth providers would use passkeys at the user's discretion.
I store passkeys and totps in 1Password. I know it means there's no hardware protection of the secure element, but in return they're trivially synced across my devices.
I feel this tradeoff is worth it to me; certainly it is no worse than email or SMS as the second factor.
The FAA just effectively grounded all drone flights. FDC 6/4375 NOTAM published two weeks ago makes it illegal for a drone operator to operate within 3000 feet laterally of any Department of Homeland Security mobile operation in the United States. But given that such locations are not published or marked, operators are typically in unmarked vehicles, etc - it is now impossible for any drone operator anywhere in the United States to be sure they are compliant with the TFR. (It's pretty clear this was published to deter filming of ICE agents in Minneapolis.)
I've begun an AI content disclosure working group at W3C if folks are interested in helping to craft a standard that allows websites to voluntarily disclose the degree to which AI was involved in creating all or part of the page. That would enable publishers to be compliant with this law as well as the EU AI Act's Article 50.
Hot saltwater is the worst substance on earth, excepting, maybe, hydrofluoric acid. You really don't want to cool things with ocean water over an extended period of time. And filtering/purifying it takes vast amounts of power (e.g. reverse osmosis).
I heard Germans hate American root beer because they think it tastes like toothpaste and that very thought ruined root beer for me for a few years (until a sunny day when I was just dying for a root beer float and it absolutely hit the spot).
I’ve tried Spruce Beer before and my brain rejected it for similar reasons - it tasted like house cleaner. If they’ve got anything that has that scent that’s dangerous, I imagine the brain wires similarly :D
I used to think the same thing, hated root beer. The nasty flavor combined with the word root conjured up images of uprooted plant root balls covered in dirt. Yum yum. Then I had the alcoholic Not Your Father's Root Beer" and really enjoyed the flavor. What I don't know is the flavorings as both sassafras and sarsaparilla are used so it might be one or the other or perhaps a combination that tastes better.
My sister got some root beer at McD's once (London) and I tried some. It tasted like floor cleaner to me and I've never tried it again. Is that just McD's version?
I think one interesting context to consider in this is cloud repatriation. Economics that didn't really pencil out half a decade ago may be worth revisiting for a lot of organizations who now find that their actual bare metal needs are quite modest and can be well met by a few modern servers. The IOPS/$ graph here contrasting on-prem w/cloud in particular is quite telling.
I've seen a lot of workloads that had multiple servers or large RAID'ed NAS devices get shrank down to a single server after a single NVMe could provide more than enough random IOPS.
I’m not disagreeing with this necessarily, but I do think a lot of people underestimate the costs of actually doing on-prem to a professional standard. You’ll almost certainly have to hire a dedicated team to manage your hardware, and you’re off in the woods as far as most of the rest of the world’s operating stack - an awful lot assumes you’re on EKS with infinite S3 and ECR available. It’s doable, but it’s not drag & drop - the cloud providers are expensive, but they are providing a lot.
On slimness: wouldn't an alternative implementation be to "do the Magic Mouse" and put the USB C port on the back of the phone instead of the edge? Alternatively I could imagine MagSafe alignment / charging magnets plus an NFC like inductive communication (or contact pads) to allow for a range of "snap on" peripherals for phone backs that could be implemented on devices thinner than a USB C port.
If we really engineer around the same connector with extra thinness the best bet could be on partly open ports: if the phone covered 75% of the barrel circumference by left out the other 25% exposed I assume it would still work.
I see it through the same lens as the cassette players like the Toshiba KT-AS10 that left part of the cassette outside for the absolute minimal footprint:
