The problem with modern smart home tech is that it all presupposes that no wiring is available: all communication must be wireless. This makes the whole thing unreliable and laggy, and is a crap long-term assumption. It makes the modern smart home tooling not worth using while it matures towards... more same.

This is not a possession for a loose affiliation of internet randos. This is an asset about access and timing. You need to be able to respond as soon as the bat signal goes off (any one of you, different signals to respond to), and so ideally you share a proximity and have independently spontaneous reasons to benefit from access to such a vehicle. I just don't think you can rando together the idea purchasing community. One rogue agent and the crew loses its tumbler.

Anyone else experience that 1Password passkeys never seem to work? Getting shoved into tying your crypto to your mobile OS for backup feels like an enshittifying lock-in accelerant.

Debugging is like a video game where the victory screen for each level is seeing a different error show up. The princess has moved to another castle, indeed!

WC feedback: I had a moment where I opened Warpcast, moaned "nooo.." and closed the tab. The reason: It was all posts I'd seen before. Keeping the feed fresh might be key to re-engagement. Once I've seen what my following is saying, I'm definitely happy for it to start to dredge a bit. Better than old stuff. Maybe this is a fringe issue bc I follow too few? Surely a newcomer issue too, at least. I'd have narrow-casted this to a feature request channel if you didn't want me spamming criticism.

LLMs can be reliable as their context window. Gold in, gold out. The core skill needed will increasingly be gold sifting, at a time when the whole internet has specialized in sludge distribution.

@depatchedmode what's that one secure UX flow chart you've shared where it is a spectrum of friction severity levels based on things like whether the action can be taken back easily?

This book threads a miraculous needle between covertly retelling the story of Alien (for the parent) and teaching a child the alphabet. Excellent work.

I love this. It makes perfect sense that there's no free lunch, even from the tides. The moon's distance like a battery charge.

Fantastic year, and the team just keeps cooking. I especially loved the features that caught me by surprise, like supporting JSX for rendering custom UI, and supporting permissionless installation for many snaps. But really what I love is how it's accelerating all sorts of development, in and outside of our company. Year 2 is going to be even more fun.

Guile Hoot 0.5.0 is probably the most performant, meterable, safest to write language to ever become trivially executable in the browser. It deserves to spark a modularity renaissance. It is a strong answer to "how to give an AI agent limited permissions that are also dynamic?" People have no idea. https://spritely.institute/news/guile-hoot-v050-released.html

What if a site wants to manage a key directly, but have it derived from the user's wallet? This seems like a growing use case with embedded wallets. Should we have a method that just passes sites keys that are generated deterministically to their domains? https://ethereum-magicians.org/t/wallet-getexposedappkey/20958

Happy Labor Day, folks. Amazing how much people have managed to organize to protect themselves in the face of the mill of economics. I wonder how much further people might negotiate their positions given more ideal coordination tools.

People throwing around "proof of personhood" like it's a problem that has already been solved, or is trivially solved. I can't shake the feeling we've done our people wrong by letting this stuff slide. Is it too late to adopt a culture of being specific about the solutions we're referring to?
