Does it? The alternative is non-profit incarceration/detention, in which the incentive is to not put people in prison, leading to more crime, lower trust and more victims.
The US incarcerates more people per capita than anywhere else in the world except a couple of tiny countries and possibly North Korea (numbers for North Korea, for obvious reasons, are vague, but it probably does incarcerate more per capita than the US). For a developed world country, it has fairly high crime rates (in particular it has by far the highest rate of intentional homicide in the developed world). Like, do you think that there's a magic level of incarceration at which point it would suddenly start working, if only you could get there?
Who is the customer in this business model. Does that change the way you might think about prisons that must make a profit?
You might argue that it drives efficiency but what does efficiency mean in the context of a prison? Cheaper food for the inmates? Less pay for the guards?
We could end the absurd war on drugs that conservatives are intent on waging and follow evidence-based solutions instead. About 20% of prisoners in the US are there for drug crimes. At the federal level it's 42.6%.
Ah, but if we stopped the drug war those in power would have less flexibility to effect unjust or even blatantly racist outcomes [1], e.g. they wouldn't be able to disproportionately charge disfavored minorities for possession or other bullshit drug crimes and consequently those folks might start thinking they aren't second-class citizens. Can you imagine?! The horror!
This is about the ACM licensing it to for-profit AI companies, who will then make you pay a subscription to access the knowledge. Not about making it "freely available to the public."
Only to other proprietary systems within the FIDO Alliance that you don't own or control.
Additionally passkeys allow services to detect and ban specific password managers, so have fun when the only approved managers that works consistently across all services are Google/Apple/Microsoft. There is already a list of "bad" clients here https://passkeys.dev/docs/reference/known-issues/
Again, what are you taking about? There are open source implementations available. I can write my own. They do work. This list just shows some which do not actually implement the spec correctly.
Also moving the goalpost. The post I replied to said I couldn’t export it. I absolutely can, and have, with a single click. To another provider. It’s really not a big deal.
Because they were exporting secrets in plain text. And they didn’t threaten, they said relying partners (so the site itself, for example GitHub) might block them.
This is not some conspiracy, and again has nothing to do with the fact that I can export my key passes
I didn't realize this was supported, I'm kind of favoring Apple's Passwords app since you can lockdown your account and they are very on top of someone accessing anything of yours. Any time I power on an iPad I havent used for months they tell me a new device can read my texts type of thing, which is a nice paper trail.
I wouldn't favor an application that is locked to a big player account (Microsoft, Apple, Google) where a ToS violation for something unrelated may lock you out of all services, passwords/keys included.
Are they? Are there any actual Turing machines? Doesn’t that require infinite memory? I don’t know of a single thing which actually has that, nor one that comes close.
That just means even more limitations, then. (Though the grandparent comment is correct that literally everything is subject to the same Gödel-style limitation on its ability to make negative claims about its own behavior, whether computers, humans, or any other system at all.)
Not infinite memory, a Turing machine only requires "unbounded" memory, which is a way of saying that it will not run out of memory while running its program with the given input. In other words it just needs to have enough memory to run the program with whatever inputs it was given, which is much less than infinity. And this situation is quite common in the real world -- the programs I use on a daily basis have all the memory / RAM they need to do what I want (almost by definition). So in practice I might as well view them as Turing machines.
Finite machines such as FSMs (finite state machines) are a subset of TMs, so yes they are actual Turing Machines. What they aren't is UTMs ... universal Turing Machines that can emulate every TM.
