Okay, here’s the deal with Security Keys and #phishing, because even some experts don’t really get it. HT @boblord and @runasand for the idea 1/

Excited to announce the new FIDO2 Titan Security Key - with storage for more than 250 passkeys (resident credentials). Available on the @GoogleStore now!

Exciting times in auth, @DickHardt and the Hellō team have made it suuuuuper simple to configure and get up and running

Hellō in 60 seconds. Adding auth to your Next.js application has never been easier. https://t.co/UGgYP9Ig51 https://t.co/8qtMZ5ZYac

Unbearably sad to lose Luiz. He was behind so many of Google’s technical achievements, writing the book on our data centers, leading the design of our computing infrastructure, and so much more. He was at the top of his field, earning ACM’s highest honor in computer architecture.

1/ Incredibly easy to make something cool with LLMs, but hard to make something robust and consumable by end users.

Episode 3 of Les Bobards d'Oscar from the startup I've been advising is live on @youtube 🇫🇷💕😀

Passkeys for @Google Accounts are here! Passkeys are simpler and safer than passwords, and part of a 10+ year industry-wide push to improve digital identity for the internet at-large! 🔐 #WorldPasswordDay

Big news today! You can now create & use passkeys on your @Google Account for passwordless sign in. It's a big step in a cross-industry effort that started 10+ years ago, bringing us towards a safer, more convenient, passwordless future #WorldPasswordDay

Today Google is launching passkeys for all personal accounts...you can try it out right now. There are some other companies that have done this, including PayPal, but for a lot of people this will be the first time they make a passkey

After about a decade’s work on this problem, I’m so happy bring this to our billions of users today. https://t.co/AZwuJQrVmz Passwords are dead. May we never have to see them, remember them, or type them.

Dr. Namandjé Bumpus, Chief Scientist of the FDA, has been a first in almost everything she’s done. But for her, success will mean that she’s not the last. See how she’s breaking glass ceilings for those who are underrepresented in science at https://t.co/JXkE2aEMeg. #WeCanDoThis

(1/4) We’re always focused on the safety and security of @Google users, and the newest updates to Google Authenticator was no exception. Our goal is to offer features that protect users, BUT are useful and convenient.

Passkeys are coming! They're easier to use *and* safer than passwords, and now they're rapidly gaining traction on Android, Chrome, and all the platforms

"To maximize the performance of Chrome on high-end devices, we are now targeting them with a version of Chrome that uses compiler flags tuned for speed rather than binary size." Up to 30% faster on the Speedometer 2.1 benchmark! 🏎 https://t.co/6iDsKYJVn8

So cute 🥰 Les Mini Mondes - Oscar et le serpent https://t.co/2W3TZOPk7g

A timeless gift for any occasion!

Did you know if you hold an ermine up to your ear, you can hear what it’s like to be attacked by an ermine?

One final thought: @defrag and @pkedrosky are 100% right about productivity gains from making formerly-complicated things templateable. Just like https://t.co/8eJSLdRzne took startup fundraising from $1000/hr attys to something anyone can do in an afternoon, LLM can do for code

TLDR: the article makes good points on what functions are "replaceable" by LLMs and the net good of democratizing code creation, but simpler syntax is just part of making complex systems trivial, and there's some evidence that more coders = more complexity. But exciting times!

We've been on that curve since Ada Lovelace days; accelerating would allow more people to focus on "what should we do" and "how should it interact with people" instead of the syntax. Misinformation and toxic social media aren't because text parsing syntax is too hard :)
