MECOBS stands for mechanized Cord Board System. The 1st one (I think) was developed by IBM in Boise, Id late 70's or early 80's. I was a trainer in Operator Services when we switched from tickets to this computer system which replaced the tickets on almost all calls (foreign country calls, Toll stations, ring downs ect... still required tickets. Our older operators who had years of service absolutely hated the changeover. The only other changeover they disliked worse was going from Directory Assistant telephone books to microfiche!

You just described debit cards.

And there fees are 1/10 of that of credit cards, as a result of giving up these benefits.

How do you explain the example I gave where the taxi app only has to SCA me once and not upon every transaction? This is in the EU.

What I suspect is that the "mandatory" bit is by law (and the law has flexibility, which covers this taxi app scenario) but there is no technical solution to make it mandatory, thus a non-compliant merchant can still drain your account until your chargeback claim goes through.

For a nascent industry such as India I imagine you could: but for a legacy infrastructure such as that of the US - very advanced a few decades ago but now showing its age - the momentum is too hard to deprecate and start over. Just like how fast the developing world had pretty good mobile networks in a short amount of time.

There are still a lot of lessons to learn from the Indian model but I guess the US incumbents would artificially add road blocks via legal or subtle measures to maintain the status quo and instead offer band aid solutions.

I mean, I just clicked through and scrolled through a bunch of messages and all I'm seeing is people helping each other find the app via other means until the Play Store issue is resolved. In fact, the further I scroll, the more I see totally normal discourse about the issue of the app being delisted. Now that I look more closely, I see that the "last night" / "xitter" stuff is a single thread out of dozens of on-topic messages.

I genuinely don't understand why anyone would be interested in using frameworks on top of JS. None of them can do anything that pure JS can't do (+libraries), they just make it less readable and less intuitive compared to the original C-like syntax of JS. JS libraries make sense, of course, but why keep messing with the syntax?
So what are we supposed to do about it? Everyone has known for years that SSN's aren't secure or supposed to be used in the manner that they are. Many have been screaming from the rooftops about it. I can't do anything about it, you can't do anything about it. So may as well laugh about it.
You're naming these companies that facilitate money moving in specific ways, but you could also zoom out and include a lot of banking which either serves to move money between parties or across space or time.

So I guess one question is: as credit unions are to banks, what missing organization type needs to exist as a counterpoint to payment services, which could return excess to owner-users?

What range and charging time would make this a reality ? It’s not the case now
There's a fairly straightforward set of engineering tradeoffs at play here. As written, use a water pump or make the case surprisingly big are solutions, using a power supply sufficiently oversized that it doesn't bother spinning up the fan. You can still expect reduced lifespan of the motherboard and maybe memory, it all really expects some slight airflow.

The good answer to "really fast computer I can't hear" is to put it somewhere else. Long HDMI cable or some variant on thin client and a network cable.

An interesting answer is the fanless cases where heat pipes dump heat into the case, but you're probably still under 100W for those.

I like a small x64 machine in the wire tray under the desk driving monitors and the real hardware somewhat far away.
This is such a naive viewpoint. Are you completely unaware of how authoritarian governments falsely label things as "propaganda" or "misinformation" in order to promote their own narratives?
Yeah, it should be sentences that have low next token distribution entropy. Where an LLM is sure what the next word is. I bet people do real well on those too. By the way, I also had 5/15.
Organic Maps is awesome. Just used it to get through the Tour du Mont Blanc (170km/105mi hike around the Mont Blanc massif). The app is not perfect, but it's constantly improving thanks to its community of devs. Def try it out!
What is great about Rust and Go is that you don't need frameworks. Let's keep it that way.
7/10 This is more about set shattering than 'smarts'

LLMs are effectively DAGs, they literally have to unroll infinite possibilities in the absence of larger context into finite options.

You can unroll and cyclic graph into a dag, but you constrict the solution space.

Take the 'spoken': sentence:

"I never said she stole my money"

And say it multiple times with emphasis on each word and notice how the meaning changes.

That is text being a forgetful functor.

As you can describe PAC learning, or as compression, which is exactly equivalent to the finite set shattering above, you can assign probabilities to next tokans.

But that is existential quantification, limited based on your corpus based on pattern matching and finding.

I guess if "Smart" is defined as pattern matching and finding it would apply.

But this is exactly why there was a split between symbolic AI, which targeted universal quantification and statistical learning, which targets existential quantification.

Even if ML had never been invented, I would assume that there were mechanical methods to stack rank next tokens from a corpus.

This isn't a case of 'smarter', but just different. If that difference is meaningful depends on context.
I'm not sure what gave you the impression that the single example I brought up was meant to be exhaustive.

In Germany (/ the EU?) we have electronic ID cards that can be used for a few online services.

The physical card can communicate via NFC, and there's a smartphone app you can use with it.
For PCs, you can buy some fancy NFC interface if you want, but you can also have your phone act as a reader, the PC connects to it over the local network.

Maybe something similiar could work for banking cards. They all have NFC anyways.

On the other hand, you might as well just have an app that is registered with the bank on your computer/phone (like how it works for smartphone NFC payments) and skip the card.

Online payments are done using pretty much the same system. Instead of the chip, you get either a 2nd authentication mechanism, or start out with a strong token (be it the strength of the token itself, or the stability of it).

An older example was getting transaction authorisation numbers. You would either get a long indexed list on paper, or you could receive then over the phone (voice or text). This was then mostly replaced (about 10 years ago) with hardware (H/T)OTP type tokens that required your card to be inserted in the token and PIN authenticated. Later on that too was replaced by a cardless version, and that one then was replaced (for consumers) with mobile apps.

The combination of minimum software versions, online authentication, transaction limits, daily limits, and time-locked temporary limit increases (so you can buy a car with your phone, but you have to up the limit a couple of hours ahead of time for it to take effect) make it pretty safe with acceptable risk for the bank. And then there's of course the standard fraud detection and prevention departments, so if you do something unusual that also involves a lot of money, you're likely going to get a call.

For business use, there are other systems, generally two types like EU-wide smartcards or bank-specific smartcards that can be used to authenticate and authorise. You'd use an USB or NFC connected method for that. Sometimes that involves entering a PIN on the device itself before the computer can talk to it, but that does make the OTP exchange very fast. You'd still have limits or multiparty authorisation setup in your organisation so you don't end up with one person just moving a couple of 100K around on their own.

And then there's some overlapping systems, apparently this one is going EU-wide: hhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EIDAS and apparently some implementations include useful things: https://www.idin.nl/en/businesses/ like age confirmation where the business doesn't need to know who, what or where you are just if you're of age (and not even a specific age). Granted, nothing is perfect, but it's a whole lot better than finding some S3 bucket somewhere with JPEGs of ID cards. As long as they don't do dumb stuff like trying to MITM TLS, it's progress. The overlap is in the concept where you can use some electronic means to prove who you are to get something done.
If firmware not buggy:
If Secureboot is set up to use keys which never signed any bootloader that lets you modify the system pre-login.:
Then it kind of matters.

If you have a gaming board: Firmware integrity checks are mostly easy bypassable.

If you use a distro's default bootloader scheme: You can compromise the OS pre-login.

The CA that signed the shim, the Microsoft 3rd party CA, sogned all kinds of crap that lets you run whatever you want from that.

The whole shim thing is not about security but having stuff boot smoothly without screwing with bios settings.

If you want it to give you integrity, then you need to roll your own keys and make sure the firmware has no signature check bugs letting one bypass signature checks.

All this is orthogonal to self sovereign systems.

On Intel thats gone. You can't have a secure and sovereign firmware game without extreme extra effort.

The whole secureboot roll your own keys is the next best thing of harm reduction.

If we had some way of making the system actually static and separate from userdata. And a way to boot that prevents any persistent executable code from the userdata part from running. So as to have a clean state. From that on we could bind that state to unlock signing keys to sign the next version of the booted stuff.
Then we could have nice security properties minus whatever is bad in the Intel TCB.

Compromise to root would actually be nicely reversible.

Immutable distros exist. But they are not there yet in terms of conditional readonly-ness.
The point of tying it to identity verification isn’t to stop bad actors immediately. It’s to identify bad actors. With the current way platforms are developed it is impossible to identify bad actors. In this case, a human content producer sees OpenAI as a bad actor for taking their content and not attributing or paying them for it. Normally their revenue might be attained from advertising dollars which an indexing bot will bypass.

See I think that is only true for so long. People don't want easy ways to scrape data, they want to promote their efforts. Things could easily change which allow for easier identity verification. For example, Social Security numbers are seeing lots of criticism right now and there is call for a national digital ID that can be used instead. If a national ID were to be implemented it would offer a lane for something like verified access to happen. People already have a preference for platforms like Facebook where the farce is sold that it’s easier to identify real people by using it.

Then you tack that on with copyright infringement and blatant stealing that is happening with LLMs and there will be enough of a momentum for people to close off.

Especially on an internet where open platforms are constantly being attacked and devalued for being open. Content producers will only start sending minimal data to indexing bots, enough to get listed. SEO dependent sites will probably perish in this era.

Legal battles wont even matter if society shifts that way.

IME, my impression, is that far more people today are in 'survival' mode - the fight/fligh/freeze response: not trying to create, build, and self-actualize but to survive, and ridiculing - as people in that mode do - art, humanities (and humanitarianism), knowledge, etc. Advocating the value in those things is now transgressive, IME. 'That's all pointless!' they say - and yes it's pointless if your only goal is to survive a week or maybe a year, and make nothing better of the world.
John Adams wrote in his memoir about trying something similar around the same time, but with less success. When he moved out to the Bay Area he ended up taking a job as a longshoreman at the port. He wrote that he had this Marxist fantasy of laboring with the proletariat during the day and composing avant-garde music during the night.

But the job left him so exhausted when he got home that he could barely read a few pages of a book let alone compose any new music.

He didn't really pick up composing again until he happened to get a job teaching music in SF.
This is understood, but that doesn't make "Google Ads" a way to exploit this.
Opinion here basically seems to depend on whether a "fascism!!" fascist regime or a "democracy!!" fascist regime is doing the censorship. Brazil is run by a "democracy!!" fascist regime so any government overreach there is good. China is run by a "fascism!!" fascist regime so government overreach there is bad.
PayPal: In Netherlands there is system called iDeal which provide online payments via tokens, without giving any of your data to seller (recipient). It is supported by all banks. It is super-convinient, you scan QR code by bank app on your smartphone if you pay on other device (laptop, computer) or link is opened by your bank app on mobile and you approve payment. You don't need to enter anything, only select your bank from the list. You don't need to pass your payment data to 3rd party like PayPal, there is no place to steal or phish your card or account data in this scheme.

Visa or MC could do the same, without additional parties. But no.
Thanks for providing the context

> paying with cash (which leaves you almost always without recourse if anything happens)

One remark about this though: you always have recourse in court. We often hear the USA is incredibly litigious, but it's not like we'd not (threaten to) bring action against a merchant not acting honestly

The main situation where I see chargebacks being useful is when you fell for a scam and the perpetrator cannot be located for enforcement. Which is a legitimate concern for sure, but there's more ways of dealing with that than giving everyone the option to chargeback anything on a whim with no repercussions for them
You're right that it's not fully enforced technically. It's complicated, and I don't think that's really solvable by technology (being that this scenario is roughly equivalent to direct debiting). Banks can validate if a particular merchant has already been used by a customer and blocking them from debiting your account, but since that SCA has exceptions for recurring debiting, this is not really enforcable once the customer has authorized the merchant for any debiting.

Yes. I can tell you about things that happened this morning. Your language model cannot.
Do you remember how unstable the original Mac OS was? I remember working with a guy doing web development work on his circa-1996 PowerPC Mac. It would crash at least daily, resulting in a reboot. Perhaps it was Netscape's fault.
> I'm already seeing lot of developer jobs especially front-end, testing roles being replaced entirely.

Can you give me some public examples if it's so prevalent? I play around with the AI Dev tools and I can't see them being a feasible replacement for a human yet.

Many surface brand devices had a toggle in the bios for something like "security level" for years.
Which is a switch between Windows signing CA only and Windows signing CA + 3rd party CA.
The latter allows shim distros to boot. You can still set your own keys on them.
You misunderstand what I am saying. I LOVE reading and learning.

What I said what I like to tell the bots to give me a python snippet to do a chore, and explain to me how they are doing it and teach me along the way, and document the functions so i can learn, and read them and know what they do,

For example, and HNer posted their VanillaJSX Show HN: today - and it had some interesting UI demos -- so I am right now building a Flask app that uses VanillaJSX elements for a player.js tied to yt-dlp to have a locally hosted Youtube front page player that will download the youtube video locally, display my downloads on a page with a player and the VanillaJSX player elements, just so I can see if I can.
That I'm going to die, and I don't know when or how, and there's nothing I can do about it.

You are what you do in a very literal sense, your form follows your function, your very being is your actions. All that you leave behind is what you do, the effect you have on other people.

The context here is that IE has absolutely dominated the browser market for years in 2005.

So I read it as “Given we’re trying to have an alternative to IE, it’s silly for us to further fracture the ecosystem, rather than collaborate on a viable contender.”

That is actually how Cassidy works in Overwatch - the tradeoff is the exceptionally small hit radius of the projectiles. But there are other games where your ability to hit buttons quickly matters.
