I love how the article omitted an important fact: zelle has a daily and monthly transfer limits. The max this scam can make is ~1k. After the first zelle send - these scammers reset your password, you are sent an email your password is reset, so! you most likely will login to see what happened etc. It is an interesting scam but nothing compared to wiring money.
You don't count that low?
But think of the epic problems they needed to solve to get the protocol implemented using websockets in javascript so it can run in the iframe on the mobile browsers! Such engineering prowess! </sarcastic>
i didn't know that, but indeed i found a study that claims that.
Interesting how this idea is almost exclusively pushed by first world citizens. If we had global election, everyone other than the first world (the vast majority) will basically vote for “give me your wealth”. So how is this in the interest of the first world? The day we have a global government on earth is the day Mars travel is really gonna take off.

One problem with Ion is that it doesn't have a map type, but instead a struct type that allows duplicate keys. I created Zish https://github.com/tlocke/zish as a serialization format that addresses the shortcomings of JSON and Ion. Any comments / criticisms welcome.
Is it public? Id love to learn more about it.
This could be called callous, yes, but I urge you to re-read the post. The OP didn't even complete his degree, and haven't done any other worthwhile project that requires some tenacity.
I think the system OP is describing is a little bit more complex. You're not just describing message types, you also have message templates; a template declares a message type and a set of prefilled fields. You save data by just sending the subset of fields that are actually changing, which is a very good abstraction for market data. The template is hydrated on the protocol parsing layer so your code only has to deal with message types itself.
What a great idea!
I currently have my smartphone offline for the majority of the time (you can call me for urgent stuff), and enable WiFi to achieve the same sort of effect.

I had Cherry MX Black Switches and it was nice for gaming and overall coding, but then one day I switched to WASD with Cherry MX Green and I didn't liked that much.

I always encourage people to try as much until you find the best one.
If police starting executing 10 random homeless people every night, it wouldn't necessarily "solve" homelessness but the homeless would get very creative, very quickly to figure out how to not be where-ever the police were looking.

As with any management technique, it's about making sure you're focusing people on the right efforts, for values of "right" in terms of getting what you want. A horrifying police state has many examples both more and less efficient than Stalin and Beria, particularly if you take a view of the modern world through the lens of competitive authoritarianism.

Was it purely luck that they happened to pick good candidates to run specific programs whereas say, Mao did not? Could be, but to pick another example, I'd wager that few people would argue against the notion that Fidel Castro did more, with less resources, and less terror, than Stalin in relative terms.

But back to the homeless situation in the US, it's more than major political groups have no interest in solving the problem and that creeps into institutional policy in insidious ways, as opposed to whether or not harsh methods might have any positive results (ignoring the whole awfulness part). Malignant neglect is perhaps worse than active malice.
It has the feeling of a demo project although maybe revalidation centers could perhaps use them.

I'm not holding my breath for transferable content between platforms when big game studios cannot make save data compatible between the same PC game if bought on different stores. If you start playing Forza Horizon 5 on Xbox Game Pass and then decide to buy it on Steam, you have to start from the beginning because the save data is not compatible between the two different store versions.

I think it will work way better when companies will plain stop calling customers at all.

As it stands now I receive ‘legitimate’ calls from a credit card company to open new options on my account. Or from my phone company to switch my plan. And the interesting part is that as it is ultimately to improve the caller’s monthly numbers, they won’t offer the same conditions online or through mail, I tried. And calling back the same person is a royal PITA. So in some cases, it costs me to not deal with transactions on the phone, inbound, from a person I need to trust to be what they say they are.
NFTs are probably best thought of as a recapitulation of status goods into the digital world, outside video games. The physical good versions has never made sense to me either.

Thorstein Veblen already in the late 1800s had pointed out that an object's utility as a status signal increases in tandem with its uselessness. The object must then also be recognized among peers as difficult to obtain. For the moon shares analogy to work, being objectively worthless or grossly overvalued is insufficient, it had to have also been exclusive and coveted among the "high class".

> how AI will affect society’s sense of reality

Following the article, the scope is probably specific: they raise the problem of "transparency" ("how and why does the black box indicate this solution") as primary, especially in the context of policies and reaction. Decisions (long and short term) have been up to now taken as the result of a discussion between human minds. What happens if black boxes are now entrusted?

Results of the application of AI in the medical field suggest its increased adoption in other sectors, but the special quality of these outputs are in that they are surprising and obscure (as opposed to, notably, teaching new abilities). The possibility of application of these technologies - possibility called a certainty by the author, authoritative in his field - to matters of national security, defence, strategy and tactics, is surely a problem. What is proposed and encouraged is that countries with values consistent with those of the authors gain an advantage (to counter automated "psychopath" decisions).

"Some years ago, I was lucky enough invited to a gathering of great and good people: artists and scientists, writers and discoverers of things. And I felt that at any moment they would realise that I didn’t qualify to be there, among these people who had really done things.

On my second or third night there, I was standing at the back of the hall, while a musical entertainment happened, and I started talking to a very nice, polite, elderly gentleman about several things, including our shared first name. And then he pointed to the hall of people, and said words to the effect of, “I just look at all these people, and I think, what the heck am I doing here? They’ve made amazing things. I just went where I was sent.”

And I said, “Yes. But you were the first man on the moon. I think that counts for something.”

And I felt a bit better. Because if Neil Armstrong felt like an imposter, maybe everyone did. Maybe there weren’t any grown-ups, only people who had worked hard and also got lucky and were slightly out of their depth, all of us doing the best job we could, which is all we can really hope for."

Don't know if you're describing the original FIX itself with the TCP connection. On FAST FIX they got rid of the TCP connection and market data was sent over UDP using several parallel connections, data was reordered on the client side at consumption time and it only used a TCP connection to recover data when a sequence gap was found.

How? Why does it matter that it's on some blockchain?
Good points made by others. But another thing is you don't have to? Nix(OS)/Guix installs packages and dependencies separately instead of replacing packages like other OS/package managers do.

This means you have multiple versions of a package installed in your system and that you can use them simultaneously for different applications if I understand it right. You can move back and forth between versions if one breaks without effecting the rest of the system. Also if I remember, nixos-update rebuild switch (or something very similar to this command) which is usually fired after installing new packages or when a major change is made to the nix configuratino file creates a new boot entry and hence a snapshot for you to go back to if something in NixOS breaks. So there is no necessity for an LTS version to be present for stability's sake.

Garbage collection is also left to the end user to deal with. There is a garbage collector command in Nix package manager which will clean up when you push the command so that new packages are not flooding your storage space.

NixOS's stable channel can be very loosely compared to Manjaro in the sense that just like Manjaro, NixOS's Stable repo does opinionated changes/interferences/fixes. And NixOS Unstable is like Arch linux with latest and greatest upstream stable versions of the packages.
There is an even greater opportunity cost while you're not trying anything.
Even if you don't end up liking the thing you're trying, at least your life has more breadth and depth than it did before.
The Soviet nuclear weapons programme was completely terrifying, their early reactors were open-cycle which meant the water cooling them was contaminated and simply dumped eventually leading to this lovely tourist spot where an hour on the shores of the lake would be a certain death sentence:

It's so strange to read this is still happening in US. I live in Europe - 95% of such attacks are prevented by something called Strong Customer Authentication, which anybody serving or providing access to an account (cards including) must implement. Basically, that's 2FA implemented in myriad different ways. So, this Zelle thing wouldn't be possible at all: Zelle would have to ask for a SCA verification from the customer, just to connect/use his/her account in the first place. That would eliminate ground for such scamming messages ever appearing (if the customers knew and were accustomed to SCA).

Though to be fair, scamming is still present here, typically involving calling older people and trying to persuade them to reveal bank access codes during a phone call. There two differences with US banks here:
- banks are required never to ask for access credentials over insecure channel (phone/email) (though SMS is also not perfect in this regard);
- banks are required to educate customers that they never ask for such credentials, educate about fraud scenarios, etc. And they do (at least the reputable ones)

Seems that the PSD2 regulation (including SCA) are really making payments much safer in Europe when you compare to rest of the world.

Also, to admit: I'm a head of financial institution here, quite knowledgeable of the field, both on regulatory and on technical level.
To me, the real proof that AI cab be an existential threat would be that it can predict the weather to a very good degree. If an AI can handle the complexity at that level, it is definately a force to reckon with. So far the progress has been impressive?
I had a 4th grade teacher who thought and preached that the American natives regarded the Europeans as gods because they were whiter and blue eyed.

> The story is that if you were being chased up the stairs your attacker would trip over onto the roof and you could easily dispatch him

Wouldn't it be equally as likely that while running away in panic, you'd trip on the top stair yourself?

In my opinion, a more realistic explanation is that on plan the stairs were all the same height. But when the builders reached the top, they realised that the roof was an inch higher than planned and just made the final step a bit taller to make the difference?
GTK4 apps aren't meant to used outside of the platform for which they're built for. If the GTK4 app in question is built using libadwaita, it's meant to use only inside GNOME. If it's built using libgranite, it's meant to used only inside Pantheon (from elementaryOS).

Of course, you could use it in KDE or MATE or anywhere else but it would look completely alien with different themes and, potentially, different fonts and icons. You can't set your own theme without resorting to hacks.

If someone has come across a GTK4 app which isn't restricted to a specific desktop environment, let me know. Meanwhile, I won't use any GTK4 apps in existence.
Does this have its own original html renderer? That's really cool.
It's not like it has remained stable all those years.

It changed pretty significantly with the donation of constantine, and more recently, the second vatican council made some pretty big changes. Opinions can be had about whether that was a long overdue overhaul, or the church succumbing to the heretical evils of modernity, what can't be denied is that they were pretty significant.
Thank you.

Most people fail to realize how incredibly difficult walking even one whole trail could be. These folks did all 3 in 295 days. ~7500 miles (a lot of those with unforgiving terrain esp. C.D one) within a calendar year. That's quite an achievement.

Not gonna lie, I have a warm fuzzy feeling for them topped by a tinge of wonder (+ envy) at this achievement!

> There will inevitably be some computations which can be more compactly or efficiently expressed in the untyped concatenative calculus than in the untyped lambda calculus, and visa versa.

What would be an example of a computation more compactly expressed in the untyped concatenative calculus than in the binary lambda calculus [1] (where compactness can be directly measured as size in bits) ?

I suppose that your programs can also be represented in binary with 3 bits encoding the 6 intrinsics plus the two symbols '[' and ']', and the end of a program could be encoded by an unmatched ']' at the end.

Actually, even FAST was too slow for us. This was a proprietary messaging middleware library. And this particular market data feed was the direct one into the matching engine itself. For the rest of the system, we used a sort of reliable multicast using UDP for the first transmission and TCP for missed messages. We initially tried out a Gossip/Epidemic protocol but that didn't work out too well.
Following the article, AI can become an existential threat if empowered humans which cannot "«predict the weather to a very good degree»" in turn empower AI, which may decide unchecked something along the lines of "to be accurate about predicting the weather a nuclear holocaust could be a good move" (very stretched image for rhetoric purpose).

More literally: what happens if, for example, weapons systems are automated by black boxes? So-called "expert systems", for example, remaining within automation, can be instructed more clearly, explicitly, deterministically, about values and boundaries. That the results of "black box decision systems" can be surprising is also a risk.
Interesting idea.

Server used a global sequence number for all messages they transmit. Clients are stateful so they know exactly what was the latest message they processed and would send that id when creating a new connection. This was very important as a lot of the message types used delta values, one of the most important ones being the order book. So in order to apply a new message you had to make sure that you're internal state was at the correct sequence id, failing to do so would make your state go bonkers, specially when you're talking about hundreds of messages being received per second. It's scary but you had a special message type that would send you a snapshot of the expected state with a sequence id that they correspond to. So your error handling code would fetch one of these and them ask for all the messages newer than that.
Ah well, I understand. Thanks for the explanation!
