All the assets are loading sequentially. I have 100ms of latency to the server so that means several seconds of load time for me. Should be an easy fix to load them in larger batches.

All the initial assets yes, although once it started pulling in tiles, those seemed to be parallel from then on.

It took over 43 seconds to load for me according to Firefox's dev tools Network tab, each image was effectively > 300 ms, but I'm in New Zealand, and the server seems to be in the Netherlands, so that's almost worst-case...


Exactly. When you make the CEO responsible for things that they don't have direct visibility into normally it's amazing how suddenly they staff new positions/departments/orgs with competent folks with legitimate resources and power to oversee it properly.

We should not accept large organizations, bureaucracy and lack of visibility as a deference.


I was expecting something like either 1) a self powered web server where the produced carbon is captured or 2) where the server looks up where it's power is coming from in real time and then computes the carbon generated and then add that carbon to a bottle that fills up with CO2 over time as more requests are processed.


I used to play a modded copy of GTA 5 with my son that removed all the violence and you would teleport into cars instead of stealing them. My son would have me ride the street car with him, drive in the sewers, drive to the farm and look for tractors. It's a really great city simulator with mods.


Not having your timeout fire unexpectedly instantly is a good use-case IMO.


Exactly. We're not researchers and many of us will internalize the finding without the proper confidence weighting. I wish reporting and HN had a higher standard for studies linked on the site with higher N and ideally some independent replications.

If the results is really interesting and novel then why aren't others racing to replicate it? Because it is not. Yet we're reporting it here with N=1.


I agree if getting a seat at the table requires some vetting, but if something is being shouted publicly into a megaphone your analogy doesn't work. If something is so public that a logged out user can see it, it's weird of a logged in account to not see it.


> Damage to what? The bags? The food? The environment? I don't understand why bags built to be re-used is a bad thing.

The environment. Reusable bags consume more resources to produce. So if you buy a reusable bag and throw it out, it's a net loss to the environment. If enough people are buying a resuable bag because they're not carrying around their reusable bags every time they buy something, it becomes a net lost because you're displacing cheap plastics bag (that are somewhat resuable) by more resource intensive resuable bags that don't get reused.


They really should but they don't. In my area I get Walmart to deliver my food and they just outsource to whatever gig service they want like Uber/DoorDash. And they're just not equipped to deal with the bag return. For a full grocery order I get a bunch of reusable bags every week that I just simply can't use. I hate it honestly. Now it's clogging up my garbage.


If you look at the video, it's not only the eyes here. There's a huge head movement too. Having a keyboard so large in your FOV that you have to turn your head to type something is a contributing factor.

I wonder what the accuracy is if you drop the eye tracking and only do head tracking on that demo.


It would be interesting to see both isolated.

I don’t think eye tracking alone would give you the necessary bounds for inferring the keyboard size. For one, eyes flit around more and also are harder to see.

I also wonder how easily this attack is foiled by different key clusters. E.g it looks like they’re relying on large head movements at opposite ends of the keyboard to infer the bounds.

But keyboard use can be very clustered which would foil the ability to know how wide the user has the keyboard.

I imagine it also breaks when the user moves the keyboard


Finally all those banks with randomised input grids on their websites are validated!
