Not necessarily a huge flaw and indeed it’s a method I used for a long time too - but what it doesn’t really help with is when there’s a breach and one of your passwords is in a leak. What do you do: make (and remember) an exception and the second choice function? Or change all your passwords so an amended function still holds true for all sites? With a password manager you just change the breached one and that’s it.

> You might have telco experience, but you have no clue whatsoever about the economics of these scams.

Please watch your tone and choice of words. That sentence is more focused on defaming the OP than addressing the merit of what they said.

Furthermore, saying "it makes no difference to the scammers if they're paying 10c per minute or calling for free" shows an equally clear failure to understand the economics of these scams. The vast majority of calls made by a scammer will yield nothing. They have to make numerous calls to find the one sucker who can be convinced to turn over their financial information or mail cash or do whatever needs to be done. I don't know the exact per-minute cost at which most scams become cost prohibitive, but I'm pretty sure you'd be shocked at how little it is. If it takes 2,000 calls to find one victim, and you're paying 10 cents per call, you'll spend $200 per victim. Will you make that much back, and will it be enough to offset all of the other costs involved in trolling? It depends. But it definitely makes it less appetizing than when the calls are free.
> Why is it reasonable to assume that? I don't think it is, at all. If their SSL certs are comprised, all bets are off.

I have no statistics to offer, but it does seem likely to me that TLS private keys gets compromised more frequently than software/package signing keys.
A bit tangential but I am wondering now that we have brought everything online, I guess next step would be to integrate AI everywhere.

Consider this, you want to book your table at restaurant so you tell your AI which will inform restaurant's AI to book a table for you. In this whole scenario where is UI? I mean this whole chat with AI thing kinda makes lot of UIs redundant. I don't need UI for reminders, notes, meetings, search results and whole lot of other things. The advancements of AI will eat most of GUI but dashboards will remain I guess. What do you guys think?
Anglophiles?
We should coin a short word for it, akin to "typo" for "typographical error"...

I've been waiting for this to happen with dictation errors in speech-to-text (speako? dicto? the -o suffix would just be an homage to typo) but nothing seems to have caught on. Perhaps it's all just a typo, since the user is generating a typographical error even when the interface is dictation (or anything else) rather than typing via keyboard.

AIo really doesn't roll off the tongue.
Yeah, and just to add some context for people who might not be familiar with US healthcare, what the VP is asking for is effectively impossible, so this is an order to work sick. The majority of Americans cannot just "go to the doctor" whenever they feel like it, especially 4 days before Christmas. The best most people could do in this situation is call a doctor's office and be told they can get an appointment in a couple months, or go to the emergency room if it's an emergency. So the choice here if you're sick is to waste emergency healthcare workers' time and probably pay extra for unnecessary emergency care, go to work sick, or get fired.

This is obviously intentional, and in many parts of the US totally legal. I don't know specific Colorado laws but there is no federal law against this.
So if you're traveling at interstate speed and someone steps out too close to the roadway is it going to swerve into the next lane or slam on the brakes to avoid them?

I recently had a situation where a large truck off to the right in front of me had a blowout and a large chunk of tire flew over into my lane. There were other cars traveling fast on both sides and behind me.

What to do? I chose to maintain my speed and lane and just hit the tire. It caused some damage to the front of my car but in my split second judgment, this was the least bad option.

What would your AI do?
> The implementations seem to have converged on a de facto standard ABI.

Except for Windows. And probably a few other platforms.
Which btw in the early days, think early march 2020, a 10% ifr was still on the table. Italy and wuhan (incomplete) data was … not encouraging. And remember that SARS-cov-1 had an ifr of 40%. And was spread by fomites.

So in early 2020, with limited data - china really screwed is here - the initial lockdowns in places like SF Bay Area made sense. But the lockdown didn’t persist of course and realistically speaking people always had freedom of movement: the police were NOT and we’re directed to not aggressively ticket/arrest: all those contacts just increased the chance of infection anyways.

Now as for the rest of the US I disavow what happened there.

You've missed the legal / regulatory side of things.

Apparently this has just recently changed, but telcos are highly regulated in the US and they are legally required to execute calls placed by their customers. This means that they have to be very very sure the call should be blocked before doing so, otherwise they face legal liability. This regulatory structure means that call spamming in the US is all but legally protected.

Compare this to less-regulated email, where Gmail and other providers are free to block spam based on any reason: source ip, domain, content of the email, etc.
Going to be difficult to build a brand on customer reviews though.
My view is that the Gary Marcus argument is deeply wrong. Here's why.

Current methods are far from perfect, but not for the reasons Marcus believes. Consider that we /should/ be able to derive hypotheses for better system behavior from a given critique, test those proposed system improvements, and then (if the hypothesis is correct) see some improvement. Marcus' crew hasn't produced any useful improvements; this is either because they are not technically competent or their hypotheses are wrong. Given that people have been hammering at these systems for ~10 years now, I doubt the failure to build better logic-based systems (or hybrid systems) is for lack of trying.

Meanwhile, the non-Marcus groups have been improving systems by leaps and bounds, through exactly the kind of iterative, hypothesis-driven improvement I described above. Certainly nothing is perfect, but we can see real progress happening.

Anki SRS Algorithm : Spaced repetition explained with code
There are events that I can see purchasing flights well in advance for. I used to a go to a conference that was held every other year at the same time, it would have been easy to buy tickets more than a year in advance for that without much concern. Eclipses, certain sporting events, or reservations for activities with a wait list of more than a year could qualify as well.
Despite that I am like you and rarely have tickets far in advance of a trip.
I also have two phones with Google Authenticator. Is that a bad idea?
The problem is bad enough that a us customer might pay extra to not receive those calls. So maybe the phone company can profit off of a service to solve the problem.
For once, I would expect at least reciprocity. If the US suspends its visa free programme with Shenghen area countries (assuming ESTA isn't a visa, which it really is), I'd expect US travellers to cease to have visa-free access to Schenghen too.
Waste is built into the system. Government departments are encouraged to spend their entire budget even if they don’t need to. They have to do this to justify the same or larger budget next year. Everyone in or around the government knows this.
If you consume online content that makes you angry at one group or another group, the reality of it likely isn’t so black and white. You’re likely being fed a narrative to shape your opinion.
And bring the global economy to an instant standstill? No government is going to enact such a policy, no matter how environmentally friendly its politicians are; certainly not the ones running countries that produce plastic stuff.

The recent rash of discussion around it has not been around assisted suicide in general but specifically on how Canada has implemented it, which is a different discussion.
It really isn't about having a soul, but more like about either:

1) stating human brains are actually hypercomputers, which cannot be implemented in real life at the moment

2) stating just what you said before: pattern matching, no matter how many layers or parameters used, is not all there is to intelligence/consciousness

At the moment, whether you like it or not, there's no proof at all the human brain works in any way like a Turing machine. That idea which has nothing to back it up is the usual POV here on HN and it is the actual faith-based belief but again, no scientific papers to back it up.

In the 80s USA sent troops in italy to kidnap a terrorist that had surrendered himself to italy. They had to call up all the available carabinieri on the island to counter the USA troops.

Not one has in mind with "allied nation".
The EU should reciprocate on that threat.

I have to admit, this changes my opinion of Karens. As long as no personal attack is levied against the person taking your call and the focus is on getting to the decision maker, I think this enterprise could be a force for good.
What is the US going to offer in return.

I suspect, without proof but read next paragraphs for some evidence, that the US offer their surveillance net. If EU police is searching for someone, even in our own territory, it's easier for US intelligence agencies to locate and eavesdrop on the suspect with the tech that we know.

El Pollo Carvajal [0] was arrested in Madrid, September 2021. Although it was our police that made the arrest, it was the US that provided his exact location. Some say that local authorities had no desire to catch the man, actually he had already been arrested in 2019 and "disappeared" apparently due to some bureaucratic error. If I'm not mistaken, he's awaiting extradition.

The end of terrorist band ETA [1] (that Wikipedia charmingly defines as "separatist group") happened after a continuous string of high-profile arrests in France. Again, our neighbours haven't been always very collaborative, but had no option when alerted of exact location of people in the Interpol watchlist.

One aspect of right wing politics I've never really been able to square is who owns your body, so to speak. I'm sure I could put this better, but if property rights mean anything, it would seem to me that your body is the one property you should have total ownership over, to the point of deciding on your own when to end your life. But the right wing seems quite opposed to it.
Nice. Look forward to getting my first batch :)
No reason to say “your whole body”. I think it’s well established that if you amputate the lower half of your entire body along with your arms, shoulders, ears, eyes, and nose, you’re still just as conscious.
Unions aren't like in western Europe, for example, where they are more considered in the business. Just two years ago OSHA (worker safety regulator) crammed down a vaccinated-or-fired mandate to nearly all companies and unions didn't help much. The only safety is to financially be able to quit.

Please don't put the burden of prove on others. You must go so deep to realize whatever you _TRULY_ know, is what you have experienced yourself. All the rest is belief with different degrees of certainty (That is why we have the whole of the scientific apparatus with degrees, titles, peerreviewing and journals, to increase the certainty into a believe without having to reproduce all the experiments all the time. So we do not have to "make the experiment to have the experience that lead to that insight and "knowledge")

But for this much of a leap of faith I beg you pardon: IT IS THERE! There is absolute tranquility that leads to bliss to be attained as a _sideeffect_ of your quest for truth!
Truth is not what I tell or anyone else! Truth is what you experience. The only question is how deep that experience is.

Exactly. Even when the harm to Europe is as blatant as the examples you cited, the cowardly leadership does nothing. This lack of representation for citizens' interests will lead to a lot of resentment and perhaps even extremism, as it has in the past.

Telcos are one of the most regulated industries in existence.

And as I point out in my sibling comment, bad regulation is the reason this problem exists: because telcos are not legally able to block most spam calls. If not for this regulation, telcos would have solved spam callers long ago by blocking suspected sources of spam. (Instead, they do work-arounds like labeling them "scam likely.")
I've been called a trouble maker and low performer for discovering and insisting on fixes to security flaws. I thought my concentration in Infosec would have been an asset to my career, but so far it's been a liability.

The last social media "platform" I have heavily used (ignoring HN) was MSN Messenger. Reddit/Twitter/FB/etc. never got my attention somehow, but now I see more and more people leaving them. I guess that must be good.

I still don't understand why WhatsApp (and similars) requires a phone number (from a technical point of view). If someone releases MSN Messenger with a modern UI/UX, I'm in!
Thankfully their UX is awful, which prompted me to switch to 1Password. It feels like they're milking a cash cow rather than trying to improve the product.
> function that takes the product name as input and spits out a password

Can someone infer the function starting from the password and the service name?

If yes, then there is a low (close to zero, unless you are specifically targeted) possibility to gain a clear password from a shitty website and calculate your other passwords.

Lots and lots of practice.

Your first designs are going to be horrible, no way around it, just keep going, compare, reflect, learn, and things will get better over time.

If you can get feedback from experienced designers that will help a lot.

As to resources; Others mentioned Don Norman's book (and nngroup.com), great suggestions. I would also spend time looking at good designs and trying to figure out what makes them good. Just ask "why" about everything. "Why is this button this color, why is it this size, why is it placed here? etc etc".

Good design is about achieving goals, the better you get at focussing on those goals, mainly by asking "why", the better your understanding of design and your own designs will become.

But then every suggestion is couched in a ton of warnings. Not only is this a bit useless, but if someone does start to depend on it they're at risk of a suggestion which lost its warning. Like, say the warning runs onto the next page and that page got lost.

There are an infinite number of possible suggestions and all could potentially rabbit-hole a team to death. Why not embrace immutability? Why not go serverless? Why not migrate to on-prem hardware? Why not use a memory-safe language?

It seems far better to build some sort of suggestibility-immunity by listening to others, and their suggestions, until you can understand but not feel compelled to copy their ideas.

Yes, but in reality it takes less than 10 calls to find one victim.

> Will you make that much back, and will it be enough to offset all of the other costs involved in trolling?

These scammers are pulling hundreds of thousands from individual victims. Even at the low end they're earning thousands.

These scams are so profitable that you can't increase costs of calling enough to stop them while also keeping phone calls accessible to normal people.

Here's my theory. Older programming languages force you to think about sub-dependencies: if you decided to use a third-party library, you would have to look at and manually add its requirements to your build system.

But, with npm, suddenly it was trivial to include other packages without having to worry about sub-dependencies. The whole tree just magically added itself to your build, and only if you paid attention to the build process would you discover just how many developers you were transitively trusting.

To be honest I am already avoiding to travel to the US as much as I can. No appetite for hours of queues at security and passport controls. Their airports are worst than many third world countries.
