Apple, Google, and Microsoft want to kill the password with “Passkey” standard
The standard is being called either a “multi-device FIDO credential” or just a “passkey.” Instead of a long string of characters, this new scheme would have the app or website you’re logging in to push a request to your phone for authentication. From there, you’d need to unlock the phone, authenticate with some kind of pin or biometric, and then you’re on your way.
This sounds fantastic. I want to learn more about the implementation details though. For instance, what if you switched from iOS to Android, how would your passkeys transfer over? Or what if you don’t want to use Apple or Google to store/backup your passkeys, can you use a 3rd party?

Posting with iOS Shortcuts
I came up with a shortcut that lets me post to this blog quickly from my phone. I didn’t want it to be too involved, with a lot of prompts for tags and categories, etc… more like posting to Twitter. One thing I wanted to be able to do was include hashtags in the post and have those be automatically converted into Hugo tags, ideally clickable within the post too.
I think I have this quick post shortcut where I want it. Titleless doesn’t really work with Hugo, so I’ve settled on a timestamp format I think I’m happy with.

2022 Mac Studio (20-core M1 Ultra) Review
Now we see that the Mac Studio shot up to just over 180 GFlops performance on 16 cores (using only performance cores), over twice the performance that the 2019 Mac Pro reached with 28 cores. What’s more, the slope of the performance curve is dramatically different. Whereas the 2019 Mac Pro labored to add additional performance past about 14 cores, the Mac Studio shows very little fall off, indicating that the 16 cores had plenty of bandwidth for memory access and parallel communication without competing with each other very much.
Been digging into Wordpress lately. Got to say, I’m impressed, probably mostly with the iOS app.

iOS 16 could expand iCloud Private Relay to hide even more data
If the sources quoted in this report are correct, however, Apple could expand Private Relay as an always-on feature for other in-app traffic.

Elon Musk Agrees to Buy Twitter in $44 Billion Deal
Mr. Musk’s proposed changes for the platform include softening its stance on content moderation, creating an edit feature for tweets, making Twitter’s algorithm open source—which would allow people outside the company to view it and suggest changes—and relying less on advertising, among other ideas.
Well, there goes the neighbourhood.
