Android’s anti-theft protections will soon become less annoying thanks to your smartwatch

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-10-01 08:00:06

Mishaal Rahman / Android Authority TL;DR Google is making its “Identity Check” anti-theft feature more convenient by integrating it with smartwatch proximity. This allows users to use their PIN or password as a fallback to biometrics, even outside a trusted location, as long as their watch is nearby. Expected to land in a future Android 16 quarterly release, the feature may only work with the Google Pixel Watch 3 and newer models. Android offers a number of optional theft protection features

Contracts for C

news.ycombinator.com Jens Gustedt 2025-09-30 06:36:49

C++ seems to finally converge with their contracts proposal, https://wg21.link/p2900. I decided to give it a try and come up with ideas how such a thing would look for C. This is in early stages, not a full proposal yet, and still would need implementation by some of the major compilers. In particular, the C++ feature is full of sidetracks that I don’t like at all, such as user-defined global handlers and ignorability. But there is a core of ideas, syntax and semantics that I found interesting

Type checking is a symptom, not a solution

news.ycombinator.com Paul Tarvydas 2025-10-06 11:56:19

What if the programming industry’s decades-long obsession with type checking is solving the wrong problem entirely? What if our increasingly sophisticated type systems—from Haskell’s category theory to Rust’s borrow checker—are elaborate workarounds for fundamental architectural mistakes we’ve been making since the beginning? The software industry has convinced itself that type checking is not just useful, but essential. We’ve built entire programming languages around the premise that catching

Git Diagramming "The Weave"

I have the best words. The man knows words. Says so right there.

Apple study shows LLMs also benefit from the oldest productivity trick in the book

In a new study co-authored by Apple researchers, an open-source large language model (LLM) saw big performance improvements after being told to check its own work by using one simple productivity trick. Here are the details. A bit of context After an LLM is trained, its quality is usually refined further through a post-training step known as reinforcement learning from human feedback (RLHF).

Under sweeping new online child safety laws coming into force, self-reporting checkboxes that allow anyone to claim adulthood on porn websites will be replaced by age-estimating face scans, ID document uploads, credit card checks, and more.

In the previous posts I mentioned that SQLite does not do checksums by default, but it has checksums in WAL mode.
