As someone who's been trying to get into the PayPal platform program (PPCP) for nearly two years now, I almost had a stroke reading this headline thinking I could have all along just committed to Stripe and received the same functionality in my product.

Beyond the fact that this is EU only, it does seem like ON_BEHALF_OF will probably never be supported considering PayPal would be directly feeding their competitor with the same functionality that their own platform offers.

That being said... onboarding into PPCP feels like getting selected for the lottery compared to just how easy it is to get running with Stripe's platform. If Stripe ever does support PayPal payments on behalf of I'd be switching over in a heartbeat.
davepl must've done a fantastic job if it took this long (ignoring the fact that xp was cracked decades ago just through other channels)
You used ChatGPT to generate that comment, didn't you?
A system that requires users to sanitize inputs is indeed broken. System designers should make sure the system handles sanitation and not the end user.
Every single one of your paragraphs only makes sense in the context of ignoring my reference to portage.
Model Y was the best-selling car in the world last quarter. Even if they end up with "only" 20% market share (see Apple's iPhone), their ruthless dedication to operating leverage ensures that they are making more money per car than all their other competitors combined.

"Competition" has been "coming" for 10 years now. Tesla also want others to succeed. It's why they open-sourced all of their patents.

Tesla already owns all the "gas stations," people just don't realize it yet.
I agree with the other comments that this is a fairly useless article. Perhaps I’m looking too much into this specific example, but I fail to see how the entirety of AI’s success (per this title) is misrepresented due to its inability to provide a horoscope (good example by another comment) that’s specific to some person in question.

We see a lot of articles that swing too far towards “AI will change everything!” just as much as “no, AI is not actually effective/meaningful!”. This is the latter. I’m surprised that anyone would genuinely try to use chatGPT/language LLMs this way.

I’m mainly enjoying chatGPT as a way to distill widespread information on the internet into a pseudo conversation. It’s great for learning new topics - my favorite is generating and explaining code snippets for languages/libraries I’m not familiar with.
To Stripe: please open this game-changing feature up to US customers. Tech is a global platform, and US based tech companies need access to global customers.

My site (mage.space) has hundreds of potential customers waiting for this. It was our most asked for feature after releasing our premium features this January.
Too early to tell (as it isn't yet available), but the Chevrolet Equinox EV should basically be a Bolt EUV with a (subjectively) better looking face and more name recognition. Similar range/price.
It's a time-honored tradition with new tech, asking it what it thinks about us.

"According to a study by the Pew Internet & American life project,[3] 47% of American adult Internet users have undertaken a vanity search in Google or another search engine. Some egosurf purely for entertainment, such as finding celebrities with the same name. However, many people egosurf as a means of online reputation management. Egosurfing can be used to find data spills, released information that is undesirable to have in the public eye. By searching one's own name in an online search engine, one can take on the perspective of a stranger attempting to find out personal information. Some egosurf in order to conceal personal images or information from potential employers, clients, identity thieves and the like. Similarly, some use egosurfing to maintain a positive public image and to achieve self-promotion."[0]

Besides the older human demographics, it's certainly possible the virus strains are evolving to be more aggressive and cause problem more often. From a virus perspective, it wants to be as viral as possible without killing the host. Alzheimer's seems like a reasonable allowance.

I searched on Google and couldn't find an answer.

I asked Microsoft Edge Chatbot and it didn't answer the question but instead went off on a tangent about how to make glazed strawberries.

I asked Call Annie (https://callannie.ai/) and got what seems to me to be a good answer: she/it said that some strawberries are coated with wax for transport but not all are.

My advice would be to buy strawberries at a farmers market where they'll likely be locally grown.
kind of the opposite, i've been told from on high to not use it at all and tell everyone below the same.
Keep your eyes open for problems where you have to do some form of brute-force search. Those that doesn't have a clear solution other than trying all the possibilities.

Another thing is that the best kind of problem for SAT solvers are problems that ask a yes/no question. Is there a way to satisfy all the constraints, and if so what are the variable assignments that do so? It's also possible to use SAT solvers for other kinds of problems (e.g. find the solution with the best score) but it's more advanced.
And more pedantry than you can handle on whether or not that is correct can be found, of course, at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27094085
We’ve had rises in herpes viruses in developed countries. Shingles is a type of herpes virus. So I wouldn’t be too quick to make that judgment. Also in an aging population, it would have to be a relative rise in Alzheimer’s, not an absolute one. I don’t know the data, so I can’t say which it is.

But Alzheimer’s is a complex disease, it may well be there are multiple factors involved. I also am inclined to think there’s something to your hypothesis, there is some data to support it.

Okay, I am not a heavy button user. I do use the radio, and actually it has an hardware button on the steering wheel, so I can change station to avoid ads. For the AC it is set, and I rarely need to adjust, but it is right on the screen to adjust when needed.
I realize how relaxing the lack of buttons is, when I rent a modern car with buttons everywhere. I have to pause to and identify each button, feels like a pilot doing his check in the cockpit, making sure I will push the right button in the right sequence. I do not miss it in a model 3, just set the direction and press the pedal, feels refreshing to me.
Any word on why this is being released? I'm guessing Europe must be essentially forcing either Stripe or Paypal to do this.
Software automatically routes you to the least busy local supercharger, and they're engaged in massive (further) expansion of superchargers.
Just want to point out one issue in your comment -- webkit, blink would be more suitable as examples for "browser runtimes". V8 and JavaScriptCore are JavaScript engines. In other words, the page here is more about platform APIs (or maybe "standard library") rather than JavaScript language features. V8 vs JavaScriptCore vs SpiderMonkey doesn't matter to most developers because they are mostly up-to-date with ECMAScript specs and the behavior is mostly consistently, while different browser engines have varying support for features.
Absolutely. But it's important to note that our bodies have evolved over millions of years to consume naturally occurring foods. Now, as we've started to create and consume foods with characteristics unfamiliar to our evolutionary history, such as highly processed foods, it's evident that this can indeed cause problems.
"It could be better" is not the nirvana fallacy.

In those cases, querying un-indexed files seems quite a thinko. Even if you can fit it all in RAM.

If you only scan that monstrous file sequentially, then you don't need either jq or jj or any other "powerful" tool. Just read/write it sequentially.

If you need to make complex scans and queries, I suspect a database is better suited.

The ironic thing is IBM is already an AI company. I doubt anyone there has a full grasp of all the dusty corners of that operation overall.
I noticed this yesterday. I've been using Mozilla/Phoenix/Firebird/Firefox as my primary browser for over 20 years. They've made some questionable calls, sure, but most of the recent things that have bothered people (like Pocket integration) haven't really irked me.

This is the first time where I got a visceral feeling that maybe this isn't the browser I knew and loved anymore. It's not like I'm uninstalling and switching to something else, but I do feel bummed out.

It's almost comical at this point. The Commercial Crew Program was started as a replacement for the space shuttle, to have an option to get Astronauts to the ISS without relying on Russia. The initial goal was to begin service in 2017, and for that two providers were chosen: the reliable and experienced aerospace company Boeing, and the new upstart SpaceX. Back in 2011 the SpaceX choice seemed risky.

As expected both had some delays, but SpaceX had their first crewed test flight in March of 2020, with regular flights starting in November of the same year. Meanwhile Boeing's Starliner continues to be always just six months away.
> The US dollar has lost >97% of it’s value just since the inception of the Federal Reserve in 1913…

Yeah, that’s the result of placing function as medium of exchange nd unit of account over function as a store of value, as a deliberate measure to both facilitate exchange and encourage investment outside of the money in productive assets.

Also why, while Bitcoin might arguably be a decent investment if you can take the volatility (note that I am not saying that it is, either), its crappy money compared to major world currencies.
Honestly IBM is joke.
The conclusions of this study are inconsistent with objective reality. Approximately 94% of Americans had been infected with COVID as of November 2022, most of which were due to the Omicron wave [0]. If 10% of people who ever had COVID suffered from severe long-term symptoms, the supposed ~9.4% of Americans with long COVID would be blatantly obvious on a societal level. They are not; severe long COVID symptoms are almost entirely absent from both disability claims and health records [1]. That is not to say that long COVID is nonexistent, but it is much rarer than the 10% of infections claimed here.

Objective measures aside, this claim is inconsistent with anyone's lived experience. Can you say that 9.4% of your coworkers can no longer work effectively? 9.4% of your gym buddies can’t workout anymore? 9.4% of your friends are absent from your life? If 9.4% of everyone's acquaintances had long-term COVID-induced disabilities, it would be as obvious as if 9.4% of everyone suddenly lost an arm, and many people would still be taking precautions. But life is completely back to normal even in parts of the country that took COVID precautions extremely seriously, when it was actually a threat to most people. But nobody perceives COVID as a threat anymore and sees no reason to continue to take precautions, since only a vanishingly small fraction of their acquaintances actually experiences severe consequences after catching COVID.

Why the discrepancy between this study's conclusions and objective reality? The participants in this study are not representative of the general population who had COVID, since they were self-selected to volunteer for it, and thus likely disproportionately represent the set of people suffering from long-term symptoms.

Mozilla management are malicious snakes. This isn't the first time they've tried something like this and it won't be the last. Each time they issue noncommittally apologies, if you can call them that, but it keeps on happening. They're testing the water for even more ads in Firefox, trying to normalize this until people stop complaining. Keep the heat on them, don't give them an inch or they'll take a mile.
> Sure, but this is also the nirvana fallacy; just because the food available to you isn't 100% perfectly "natural" doesn't mean that it's bad/wrong or that you shouldn't strive to eat as natural as possible anyways.

I think the point is that our conception of which foods are the most "natural" isn't really coherent in the first place.
Nope, it matters a lot!
Unstructured unindexed files get that gig usually as the result of some design flaw.
Using a naive splitting strategy is trivial, but ensuring the distribution is well-balanced across the subspaces is not. You need to preprocess the formula by setting the variables, then doing some propagation, then restarting, otherwise one core will get stuck doing a bunch of useless work.

Doing 3) will result in loosing your competitive edge when everybody else is using AI to improve the product. That's similar to not using enterprise software at all because paper and pen or office 365 will do the trick for now except when it's too late.

Putting a lot in a retirement account today is of course less dumb than putting a lot in crypto.

But neither is guaranteed or certain; and quite a few people diversify their portfolios.

Today, I'd say you're an idiot if you do a lot of crypto -- but also, you're not too bright if you don't throw in a little.

As for tomorrow, who knows. The technology of crypto definitely works. The humans might also decide that this is worth something, or they might not.

Your last point is why it feels to me like the better investment right now is everyone and anyone else that will be working very hard to be at where NVDA is at right now. I suppose the obvious answer here is AMD, but surely there's other minor companies too that could see a huge amount of investment.

It depends on whether or not they consume more as a result really - think about it, is the number of joules to transmit down a wire different at different speeds? I'd guess probably not
I think they would eventually feel lied to and get even more depressed when they come to the realization they are actually more lonely with the faux grandchildren. This could also get confusing. As people age their memories can get corrupted. They will have memories with their family that did not actually occur. They may get into contentious conversations when their real grandchildren show up leading to more depression especially when the grandchildren do not want to visit someone having false memories. "Mom! Grandma is getting weird again!"

This was covered in an episode of Star Trek the Next Generation [1] Geordi falls in love with an AI character but then meets her in real life and things get awkward real fast.

You may be onto something though. There are already people that have "AI" girlfriends. There is probably a market for people that wish they lived with particular celebrities and other fictional characters. Maybe someone would want Thor or Loki as a room-mate? A fictional character would not have preexisting real memories with the person.

Or perhaps this could be used for people that have lost loved ones to help them cope with the loss and perhaps add some closure even if it is not real. Therapist in a box I only suggest this one to make the corporate lawyers cringe.

TBMs are just slightly too expensive right now. At 1/2 the price per mile a huge number of projects suddenly become very attractive. Which then opens the door for more economies of scale, further efficiencies, and in theory a very valuable company.

What's the deal with "copy" for example? Why does the source of the copy have to be highlighted, why is it so fragile, why does it disappear from the clipboard when one presses the Escape key? This has been the case since I think the very first version of Excel, and never changed.

I don't know of any other program that works that way. It didn't make sense then (I think), and it doesn't make sense now.

Now, as we've started to create and consume foods with characteristics unfamiliar to our evolutionary history, such as highly processed foods, it's evident that this can indeed cause problems.

I think the original point is that virtually everything we eat has "characteristics unfamiliar to our evolutionary history" because the animals and plants we eat have been bred for various characteristics so extensively, so simply avoiding "highly processed foods" doesn't meant that we're eating the types or quantities of foods that humans would have for almost our entire existence
It enables Stripe to capture market share that might go to PayPal exclusively otherwise. For many businesses with a European customer base and an on-demand product, Stripe-only is a nonstarter.
That won't stop 'em. Confidently-asserted lies are more compelling, it seems.
The idea that all of Europe is highly left wing isn't really accurate. Recall that Switzerland, the UK, Ireland and even Russia are all countries in Europe.

Anyway, pretty much every HN thread about anything Europe related will be full of top voted comments saying things like "Thank goodness for the wonderful EU regulating American companies, how ever would we survive without that?" and most of the comments will be all about how irresponsible those terrible US startups are. So I don't recognize the idea that this forum is libertarian. There are a few libertarians but they tend to get modded down pretty fast by the big government types.

For a different example go look at any discussion during COVID about lockdowns, vaccine mandates, masks etc. Libertarians were consistently flamed and flagged to death here, as was true on every other social media site. Really I don't know of any forums where libertarians are the majority. If you find one please do let us know.
