I use Astra 6 Extra High for everything.

It’s overkill most of the time, but frankly all these models are “cheap”, and I’d rather waste compute than brain cycles trying to discern which dials are best for each individual as-hoc query.

Password managers give you phishing resistance, and most passkey storage is not hardware backed.

In typical scenarios, passkeys offer no advantages over a password manager.

The person you are responding to was attempting to give you the benefit of the doubt and assume there is some sensible nuance you didn’t mention.

They are the one acting in good faith rather than interpreting your statement literally, because your literal statement was absurd.

Password managers provide all the same security benefits as passkeys, without the lock in.

Either are possible.

They have been collaborating on this solution for a year, and Astra was trained in February this year so it’s entirely possible the direction of their research was in the training corpus.

Why would China care if Taiwan blows up its fabs?

The talent is still there, so they could rebuild, or recruit the talent to work for Chinese mainland fabs instead?

The cost of producing memory IS low, and is continuing to fall.

It makes zero sense to rebase your mental model of the tradeoff between RAM versus developer time because of a temporary shortage.

In a few years time you’ll look silly for having wasted developer time on lowering BF memory consumption, while your built new features and waited for supply and demand to rebalance.

This is why I would never invest in Stripe.

The moat protecting their high margins is temporary.

Competitors will obviously improve their developer experience over time, and then win on price.

Stripe are stuck. They know they need to lower rates over the long term, but since they already make so much profit overcharging existing customers, they are hesitant to do so, meaning new competitors will enter with a price advantage without a competitive response from Strioe.

Adyen will likely overtake Stripe as well. They are at $1.4T already and growing fast.

Stripes fees are uncompetitive, even their negotiated rates, so businesses tend to leave them as their volume grows.

I find those advocating for censorship of right wing voices to be pretty unconvincing, and often acting in bad faith (like this article and its cherry picking)

Reddit and Blue Sky are almost entirely left-wing rage-bait and conspiracy theory content these days, and they amplify such content right to the top of the default feed, yet you rarely see the right calling for these platforms to censor their users.

If the right can learn to tolerate different opinions that they find offensive, then it’s reasonable to expect the left to do so as well, without resorting to these contrived cancel culture talking points.

The vast majority of political violence and riots in the US these days is orchestrated by left-wing movements and individuals. The assassinations of Brian Thompson, Charlie Kirk the attempts on Trump, all the riots surrounding BLM and George Floyd etc

Obviously directly inciting violence is not acceptable, but cherry picking obscure instances of it, while simultaneously overlooking the far larger problems that exist on the left, is bad faith. The threads celebrating the murders of Brian Thompson and Charlie Kirk are some of the most shared Reddit posts of all time, with zero self-reflection from the left about this double standard.

The default feed is orders of magnitude more visible than the cherry-picked low-follower-count users that formed the basis of this article.

There’s a tremendous double standard here. The offensive right wing content is something you’d have to explicitly search for, whereas the offensive left wing content is front and center.
