chatgpt assumes all golang import paths will be on github, even when i've put in its memory that i don't use github and don't want the word "github" in my code

nevermind, yubikey 5s with firmware version 5.7 or greater can hold 100 passkeys now.

it really sucks that webauthn/passkeys decided to go stateful-token instead of the amazing design that was "server-held key pair, encrypted to usb device hardware key" that was the original u2f. this means that yubikey 5s can only hold 25 passkeys. i will hit this limit, i think.

can we stop and admire what a miracle it is from a regulatory standpoint that apple got to make and sell a phone that has *no letters or numbers or symbols on it* when it is powered off?

such an insanely great achievement

it would be nice if i could at least review my chatgpt history even if the bot is down. i feel like running a webpage that lets me read my files stored on a server is within the capabilities of OAI.

chatgpt is broken and now i can't work

FYI codegpt.co steals your code when you use their service:

8.2 Limited License Grant to CodeGPT. By Posting User Content to or via the Service, you grant CodeGPT a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, fully paid right and license (with the right to sublicense through multiple tiers) to host, store, transfer, publicly display, publicly perform (including by means of a digital audio transmission), communicate to the public, reproduce, modify for the purpose of formatting for display....

the extent to which the github.com domain (and, to a similar extent, docker.com) is trusted blindly within software is troubling. anyone who controls github.com can own your machine. same for docker.com. why do you allow this?

apple’s in-store cisco censorship internet proxy blocks 500px.com where i host my photos. i think this is unreasonable.

apple doesn’t stock any of their max ram versions of their new products at low-tier retail mall stores, and still sell 8gb ram machines. the only cool looking cases in the store aren’t made by apple. there are too many ipads and too many iphones. the same thing happened to their product lines the first time steve left, too.

we don’t really talk about how covid tests are $1 in europe in quantity (at retail! quantity being 20, not 1000) and still $13-15 in the usa. this was the case during the main part of the pandemic. it was avoidable and preventable and thousands of people died because the FDA protects the profits of abbott laboratories. it is one of the biggest examples of criminal corruption in american history, with thousands of deaths sacrificed to corporate profits.

sometime when the whole web updated to WebAuthn, it broke all my FIDO2 logins and now I have to reenroll all my security keys. what a pain in the dick

I've been actively using my laptop unplugged for an hour and it's at 97% battery.

any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic

if you have sda, sdb, sdc, ..., sdz, the next is sdaa. finally i have a box with more than 26 hard drives

it is ridiculously astounding what chatgpt can do. if you told me such a thing existed and i hadn't actually seen/used it myself, i wouldn't believe you.

it's insane, chatgpt now functions as a stand-in for my working memory of syntax and 3p library api shape, and i'm a 10x (or at least a 5-7x) programmer again.

TIL the mac mini now has a 10G ethernet option (as a configurable option, not standard, and is only a $100 upgrade).

apple seems to be penny-pinching now

In case you're also into my favorite turn-based tabletop strategy game, I'll be playing NLHE poker on stream on Max Pain Monday live from Hustler Casino in LA about five hours from now (17:00 Pacific, 20:00 Eastern, 02:00 Berlin). The live stream should run for about 4 hours.
