@tante I think the problem is it can be real hard to see which ones are gonna be the Torment Nexus before it's built.Fire burns and cooks food.

@lauren Details from the blog post at https://blog.google/technology/safety-security/the-beginning-of-the-end-of-the-password/ are a little thin on the ground; I'm going to have to seek out an implementation explanation.I think my biggest question is "If Google, being a private company and not beholden to government oversight regarding its account use policies, arbitrarily decides one day that I've violated their ever-changing terms of service and deactivates my account, am I now screwed vis-a-vis every single company I only have a passkey-based login with?"Because that alone should give pause.

@lauren "Lots of Farqaad" is what I've heard through the grapevine.

@lauren First printer in the household was an Okidata dot-matrix.We had a strict family rule: "No printing before 7AM. If it's important, do it night before."

@lauren That got mentioned in the TRON documentary I watched yesterday. Bridges channeled a lot of his CLU character for Starman.

@GlowingLantern @shibayashi I like this idea but I'm always torn on this idea, because I don't know, if such regulation already existed, that #Rust could ever get off the ground in a world where C and C++ already exist.Those languages are already certified (where such certification exists) for safety-critical and performance-critical applications, and how can places justify the cost to certify yet another language if they already have one? In some ways, the lack of regulation leaves room for better to come along.

@GlowingLantern @shibayashi Ideally, I'd like it to work that way.My conern is cert orgs will have incentive to lean on C++'s mere age as proof that it's reliable, leaving a language like #Rust to fight an uphill battle like "We understand that if you do XYZ, you can panic the Rust compiler. It's really hard to crash a C++ compiler. Can we prove that a compiler that panics can create safe code / the language it compiles is sound if it can crash its own compiler?"... completely ignoring that C++ might just generate undefined behavior instead of crashing.A lot would come down to getting the rules by which a standards committee operates to be sane.

I'm excited about the potential for #Rust in embedded automotive programming... But they really should've chosen a different language name for marketing reasons alone. ;)

@lauren “Would you rather stay in your silo?”I mean… Yes, Coop, if the alternative is watching your company platform Mussolini I’d rather stay in my silo. He’s never going to say anything new; he’s been beating the same drum for fifteen years and we already know what it sounds like.

@lauren I don't know why people are so down on this choice. Personally, I wish Tiamat every success in her new role as Overmistress of Malebolge and trust she will mete out the undending punishments in an orderly and efficient manner on behalf of Lord Satan.

@lauren That feels straightforward to add as a feature to the reference implementation.Ugh... I'd do it, but (a) I'm already swamped on volunteer projects and (b) I've kinda sworn off Ruby on Rails as one of those "Adding more code in this language is harming future generations" infrastructures.

@lauren I think it's probably the right place to put the ruling. I was a little surprised that the case got to SCOTUS in the first place... It felt like a tall uphill battle to affix responsibility for someone's actions to an org that---the moment it knows the party it "colluded with" is doing something on their platform---moderates them right off the platform.

@lauren Oh, it's worse than the uncanny valley... It's the psychological reflex the uncanny valley grew out of.... the one that recognizes a smile that says "I wonder what they taste like."

@lauren the cable network we used to have in Richmond, Virginia appeared to run metadata about the show that was on on the vertical lines off the bottom of the screen.You could just make them out when you powered off our television. Because the image would shrink to the center and fade as power went out to the tube.
