To me, it all tastes a bit like an echo chamber of folks working on AI, convincing each other they are truly changing the world and building something as powerful as in science fiction movies.
We do so much on slack I can safely ignore email at work and just look at meeting notes on Google calendar. I would expect that to include these notes but I’m not sure. Also I agree people won’t read them anyway.
Forced password changes are one of those security theater exercises that drive me absolutely nuts. It's a huge inconvenience long-term, and drives people to apply tricks (write it on a post-it note, or just keep adding dots, or +1 every time).
Plus, if your password gets stolen, there's a good chance most of the damage has already been done by the time you change the password based on a schedule, so any security benefit is only for preventing long-term access by account hijackers.
No. If a shitty service stores your password in plain and leaks it, this won't affect your other accounts, unless you reuse passwords.
I simply can't remember dozens of passwords, so a pw manager is the best I can do realistically. Yes, it's a single point of failure, but so is using the same pw everywhere.
You could make the same argument about video conferencing: Yes, you can now talk to anyone anywhere anytime, and it's amazing. But somehow all big companies are convinced that in-person office work is more productive.
Love it, and I agree. I've built two "star skies" for kids, using cheap RGB LED lights, programming them to slowly change color, only use warm colors, and turn off more and more stars over time. Nothing super fancy, but very custom to my needs.
Devs are starting to realize that the sweet spot for AI support in coding is on a small scale, i.e. extended code completion. Generating huge chunks of code is often not reliable enough except for some niches (such as simple greenfield projects which profit from millions of examples online).
3-year-olds actually have quite a vocabulary, so they can certainly talk about what the knobs are doing, maybe just not as accurately as adults.
Regarding discovering functionality: The author mentions Montessori stuff, and the philosophy there is unguided discovery, "let them figure out by themselves". Not sure if that's how the author is planning to use this too, though.
