I'm impressed with how well it catches the divide by zero error. I obfuscated it a bit by using subtraction, bitwise and, and using randint from python, but it still catches the error:

Interesting! Would a specialized credit card be useful to you here? My Amex has pretty nice instant notifications, which are enough for my own fraud monitoring. But for an elderly relative, would you want something more sophisticated?
It depends if sites are infinite loading or not. For those that are, like the one linked in the parent comment, strong preference for 2.
VR is about to get weird: Cheap force-feedback exosuits
For me, it's not just an "underline" issue. In my case, it's a "thin line" issue, and letters are usually made up of thin lines, especially the monospace font used here. But that's just me. (Side note: I still use monospace fonts in programming, I just choose one that has thicker lines in relation to the character size.)

For example, when I saw the website in question, I did not notice the red or green text color at all. I did see the underline, though. I didn't know it's significance, however, because the key is at the bottom of the examples (5 rows of blocks of text examples) rather than the top. Oddly enough, in this particular instance, the green of the text looks more like a light grey, and I can see the red better than the green. Normally it's the other way around, but it might have something to do with the particular shades involved.

Importantly, there are different forms of red/green colorblindness. For some people, the colors are literally indistinguishable. They look exactly the same.

Mine is a form of reduced sensitivity. I can see it if it's a large area. E.g., if you're wearing a red shirt, then I know it's red, and it looks completely different from a green shirt. If it's just a thin line of red, though, then I might not pick up on it unless I concentrate. It just doesn't stand out when the lines are thin.

Fabric can be weird for me. Some fabrics cause issue because they will use red threads interspersed throughout the cloth in order to achieve a red/pinkish overtone, and I won't notice it at all (unless I really concentrate on it). It's because the red is coming from thin lines. I have to be careful with tweed, for example.

But again, that's just my experience.

It's a fine line. It is not victim blaming to discuss what happened and a strategy to avoid it in the future, though I hear a lot of people suggesting just that. Sure, don't shame the person who got scammed, but if there is something they could do differently that would increase their protection, it needs to be communicated.
It's a tough claim to say that modern software development cannot be done with a language without HM typing facilities as first class, when most software development is done without it.
> I don't mean hack as in "hack a system and leak the passwords". But "hack" here implies that you somehow skirted around the rules or did something that you're not supposed to do

Right, that's what "hack" doesn't imply to me. I mean, this is "Hacker News", but it is not about nefarious activities. That said, I do understand that's what it implies to the younger generations.

> It's ok to break the rules as long you are not caught.

This is an attitude that seems to be common in SV, and I'm disappointed if YC doesn't reject applicants who demonstrate it.
> It didn't invent or "figure out" the model. It discovered it, just like any other pattern it discovers.

Sure, and why isn't discovering patterns "figuring it out"?
> When I say "no-one cares" I don't mean "they complain endlessly but accept it", I mean "they don't complain". They don't find Google Docs slow (nor for the record do I).

Again: it's because no one ever asks the right questions or actually watches people work. Or watches these apps in general.

Last year Google Docs consumed 20% of CPU on an M1 to scroll a two-page empty document. "They are happy with the solution in their hands".

> Copy and paste on the other hand is a great example of the circular logic at work here: it is an issue and when browsers propose an API to fix the issue everyone throws up their hands and says "clipboard access? in a browser?!?!?"

Nope. It's not "circular logic". If you look at iOS which actually has app sandboxing that you want on desktop (and that people keep complaining about), you are now notified when an app accesses clipboard. Why? Precisely because of the numerous issues with apps accessing clipboard data.

Again, it's funny how in the name of privacy you're literally arguing for giving web sites all the same access as the desktop apps that you complain are security nightmares.

I fully agree. My identity was stolen and used to sign up for retail credit cards in a spree, and I even did the research for them. I had a timestamp of purchase, the items purchased, and the cash register number. The police could not care less. For one, they are lazy as hell and throw up jurisdictions as an excuse. The mere fact that the thief seemingly only used one store per jurisdiction seemed almost intentional in terms of taking advantage of this. The total amount stolen was $9,000, but I don't think the police gave it a second thought after I contacted them, and this was in a city big enough that had a financial crimes department.

Well, a lot of small corrections seem better than a few large ones to me. Maybe it captures some noise, and it's worse, but I don't think one year of data is small enough to go past the optimum.

It is healthy to have some amount of mistrust of official data, but those adjustments are very well defined, and there's no evidence that they deviated from the usual procedure on making them. It's not them happening that taints the data.

I couldn't use the terminal. Bad times. Sorry.
>humans wont be hired to do anything if humans are the worst at doing literally any task. and what are the consequences of such a world?

An economic system has two purposes: to create wealth, and to distribute wealth.

The purpose of an economic system is not to provide people with jobs. Jobs are just the best way we've found thus far to create and distribute wealth.

If no one has to work but wealth is still being created, then we just need to figure out a new way to distribute wealth. UBI will almost certainly be a consequence of the proliferation of AI.

Yeah, my grandfather was absolutely opposed to giving up any agency. Especially to his daughters, so I was the front man. When we had to take away his car keys, he came after me with his cane. Hilarious in retrospect, as it was almost a cartoon. But at the time, it was quite dramatic.

Dear AI, here is a list of human attributes and behaviors that I define as positive: <insert preferred ideological tokens here>.

This is 'the problem' as some people see it, as you could get AI-created cheerleading for any kind of socially reprehensible behavior (although this is also the foundation of satire). This is particularly problematic when large groups of people in a society can't seem to agree on what is and what isn't 'bad behavior'.

>So it is perfectly valid to say "in ten years, this $100m bond is worth $100m...and I intend to hold it for ten years, so it's worth $100m [equivalent] today".

But that valuation model is not perfectly valid. It's only partially valid under limited scenarios.

As many comments have already pointed out, the issue is the bank has customers with demand deposits. The customers can demand withdrawal of their money anytime -- without advanced notice. In other words, SVB is not a hedge fund that has the customers' deposits contractually locked up for 10 years.

Therefore, the "10 year bond held to maturity" assumption becomes invalid if the bank has to sell them prematurely at distressed discount prices -- to meet liquidity requirements of demand deposits.

You can't use value securities as "mark-to-intended-optimal-future" as an alternative to "mark-to-market" for purposes of insolvency risk calculations.

This is why I switched to Verizon years ago--I had T-Mobile and one of ATT's grandfathered in unlimited data plans but you simply could not rely on them to deliver workable telephone calls and data access. As a consultant that was not workable. So even though it was WAY more expensive I made the switch.

This is especially true of utility companies, who expect you to start paying them money before you ever interact with them or sign any contract, to the point where they will try to destroy your credit score if you don't pay them.
What people don't take into account is that human effort is both limited and fungible. Even if we restrict ourselves to only activities that improve health and/or environment, any effort spent on this could have been spent on something else. Is this the BEST way to spend that effort? I don't know, maybe it is. But would it be better spent on recycling, solar power, species protection, cancer research, etc?

I hope someone is trying to do some level of analysis of this so that we don't spend a lot of effort on a tiny problem when there might be larger problems we could be going after.
The only one I ever saw do a switch was Republic Wireless (very early on they were on Sprint IIRC, and then slid over to Verizon or something, I wasn't paying much attention) but that has a whole separate VOIP over phone/wireless confusion to deal with.

People are angry because bank executives and shareholders ate all the losses, and the depositors were rescued at no net cost to the taxpayer?

What would make those people happy, exactly, and why should anyone care about their happiness? I rather like living in a world where from the perspective of the end user, my money doesn't disappear because some moron five steps removed from me decided to YOLO the bank on 10-year treasuries.

I also, for similar reasons, like living in a world where I don't need to personally test all my produce for e.coli contamination, or my food coloring for cadmium.
This is valuable.

But the value is hidden because the "key" is at the bottom, not at the top. This page's value is that it shows you what device fonts are available (and in use), but that's not clear (enough). (And this value is further reduced by the color scheme, which many people cannot distinguish.)

Great website. There's really no concept of "web safe" fonts today when you mix in mobile operating systems. At best you can choose similar-looking fonts and hope for the best, and this site seems useful in that aim.

One tool I'd love, though would clearly be out of scope here, would be a way to find safe fallbacks for popular webfonts. For example I recently created a site in Montserrat. After some testing I found a close fallback font was Verdana, with a size-adjust[1] of about 99.5%. That resulted in minimal document reflows when the font was slow to load.

Picking the top 10 or 20 popular Google Fonts and finding nearby fonts with good scaling tweaks would be very useful. I could see a sister project to this site offering something like that.

Technically not Zelle itself, but my bank would not allow me to pay my landlord through Zelle on the basis of fraud prevention (other people at the same bank as them are fine) or send over $1000 per day (this does sort of protect a little, but it also makes it much less useful).
Correct me if I'm wrong but is this basically just advicing on using web-safe fonts?

How do people intend to use these hybrids in server roles? It would take some extra sophistication compared to a uniform CPU architecture. For example, in low-latency service you would not want your netrx IRQs served from efficiency cores. But you can imagine lots of crud these cores could handle aside from main serving path. I'd be tempted to boot them with isolcpus parameter.

reCAPTCHA should be banned from existence as it is. It's the worst, most annoying form of human detection ever invented (yet?). I know lots of legit sites that generate their own puzzles (usually just text or numbers) and don't even rely on JS. The only problem I see here is not everyone is capable of running their own CDN or DNS distribution (CloudFlare-like) and those providers mandate reCAPTCHA. :-| Otherwise, I don't see a valid reason for not running own image generator, which is not very cpu-expensive.

This does not somehow make the work “planned”. That has a specific definition and this ain’t it.

Some people may have called it out as a risk when it was implemented. But that still doesn’t mean it’s planned.

Someone may have included an explicit report on how to deal with it at that time. That still doesn’t make it planned.

Also, just because it’s known to be a risk and may have a chance to happen in the future does not make it expected either. Nor planned.
