LLM-powered search usually isn't very good. If you watch what it's actually doing it's running basically the same searches you would, then looking at the first 5-10 results and using those.

If those 5-10 results aren't great the LLM's response won't be great either.
I mean, if you are willing to accept mistakes, then a lot of this was doable a while ago. Google Translate has been around a long time (and it's improved due to transformers but it was pretty good a long time ago too). Wikipedia has been around forever. Siri and other such agents have been doing audio transcription well long before.

So all of these have improved. But they aren't completely novel

It depends on the language. I linked a set of c++ guidelines and for c++, they are correct: it is undefined behaviour to do signed integer overflow. Some languages do specify it, eg rust, and even in c++ it might appear to work, but even then it is still undefined and should be strongly avoided.

I work in this space and can tell you it’s fairly common to test on real cards. Stripe knows this and they don’t care as long as it’s very infrequent tests.

But there is no reason to test a dozen times with a real card. Stripe is the gold standard of a test environment that exactly matches the real world. On top of a test environment they also have test clocks so you can run tests over time.

There is only one test in my opinion that warrants using a real card. The very first time you go live. When you’re first swapping the test keys to a live environment. There isn’t a good way to be 100% sure your system is working correctly without a real card test. The front end has a “test” badge, but there is no 100% way to verify the webhook and webhook secret are configurable properly without some sort of a test.

You only have to do this the first time. I often see devs want to use real cards to test updating a webhook secret, but you can usually replay a previous webhook to ensure your changes are working as expected.

For your specific situation I wouldn’t do any more real tests, but I wouldn’t panic about your previous tests. The odds of them taking action against you are extremely low.

I came across the Bigelow contest that had a sizeable prize for to people submit articles / essays arguing beyond a reasonable doubt that consciousness survives physical bodily death - here is a link to the top 3 winners: https://www.bigelowinstitute.org/index.php/bics-afterlife-pr...

There's some good material in there.

> I don't know what a proof would look like, but often the experiences involve being disembodied, so a reproduced and reproducible experiment where someone having a near death experience can accurately describe something they couldn't have had prior knowledge of, or guessed, or sensed (heard) in a coma, or found out after waking but before describing, that would be proof. Anecdote is not enough.

There are indeed multiple cases that follow that pattern that have been recorded and in papers (see an example below) - I think they're called "Peak in Darien" cases. The pattern is:

- Person has a near-death experience whilst unconscious
- Something happens whilst they are unconscious that they would have no natural means of knowing
- Same person comes back and has knowledge of what happened

In SaaS/Software specifically? No. But we did get banned from a gateway in 2013 for doing this and had to switch to an entirely new gateway. We had similar reasoning - we wanted the processing to work seamlessly with our new clients, so we tested it to make sure it worked properly.

It didn't prevent us from signing up with the new gateway though, so I wouldn't be worried about going on any lists if you do get kicked off Stripe.
The fact that anyone thinks this will ever happen reveals a fundamental misunderstanding of what a lawyer does. They are responsible and liable for your case to be presented to a judge. An AI can't be liable and responsible for that. It will still need someone to rubber stamp its output. And that person will be a credentialed lawyer

"LLMs, which are exquisitely well-tuned machines for finding the median viewpoint on a given issue..."

That's an excellent way to put it. It's the default mode of an LLM. You can ask an LLM for biases, and get them, of course.

No nation state will actually divert money without feasibility studies, there are applications, but you are very likely misfiring. If every device everyone owns has continuously running agents, we will see the multiple applications as time passes by.
Are LLMs good historians? Of course not. These types of articles always have some click/rage-bait title declaring AI supremacy at whatever task. I have used ChatGPT 4o to help translate old high German from broadsides printed in the 15-16th centuries into English and it seems to work pretty well. I don't think I'm doing serious ground-breaking research, but I feel like LLMs open doors and expand access to many things that were once completely locked without specialized knowledge.

I think it's fair to say that the context in which a work was created adds to the novelty and ingenuity of it's existence.

Yes, OpenRA is, unfortunately, ridiculously inefficient. You're right in that you just sit in the main menu, even with the moving background set to disabled, and your computer will slowly get hot with excessive CPU/GPU usage. It seems like there is no dynamic use of computer resources at all.
The point is that if we'd put in a bit more effort 40 and 30 years ago, there would be 0 cases today (and if we put a bunch more effort in now, there will be 0 cases in 20 years). TB is awful, but it is curable and preventable. It's current existence in the world is a policy choice of the past few decades, and eradicating it is a choice we can make today.

> Not in Europe

In Estonia, you could buy a prepaid SIM card in a convenience shop a few years ago, without any sort of ID verification. Not sure if that’s still an option but I think it’s not a priority there. You can then use it all over the EU.

And of course, buying a phone without a contract doesn’t require ID either.
You can buy third party "Find My" compatible tags for about $5 from Temu or Aliexpress. Although they're about the same size as regular Airtags, they're:

- easier to take apart (if you want discard the casing), and

- cheaper

I took one of the ones I have out of its casing to see what could be made thinner, and I found that most of the thickness was due to:

- The batter holder (CR2032)

- The speaker

- The button

The speaker and button could probably be dispensed with after initial setup. The battery holder could be removed, and the power supplied from the side instead of the top (if you want a thin card-like form factor).
Even if everything you said is true it doesn’t mean general AI is 20 years away. Computers are many orders of magnitude faster at non-parallel tasks. Who’s to say raw clock speeds won’t easily compensate for any deficiencies vs the brain.

You can run a trillion parameter model on a single machine today. We’re maybe 4 or 5 years away from that same 1T model running on an iPhone.

What kind of natural treatments? Because tuberculosis has been a massive problem from the start of human civilization up until the advent of antibiotics, and they tried every natural medicine and treatment under the sun because of how long people can end up living with it before dieing, and they accomplished pretty much nothing in stopping it. In fact it continued to get worse throughout that entire time, at one point being the cause of death for 25% of Europeans.
I work in the borehole instrumentation industry, and lots of our customers get hyperspectral data from core. I'm working on a new data delivery and management platform, and I've made sure our data structures can handle hyperspectral images. Multidimensional arrays are front and centre.

One thing that stems from this is the question of how you visualise it. False colour mapping?
I went skiing in Korea during the next to last weekend of Feb 2020. Best skiing of my time there, because the mountain was already empty of people due to public concern. By that time we were already wearing N95 masks: I remember discovering it was very hard to talk with both a ski mask and an N95 on.

By mid Feb, Korea was already covertly acquiring mask materials and preparing a ramp up in testing. I believe we had working PCR tests in my local hospital by mid March, and mask rationing in April. This made me very skeptical of the competence of the US public health establishment.

Edit: Skiing was Feb 21 to 23, just before Daegu locked down. The Mask rationing started early March: https://m.koreatimes.co.kr/pages/article.asp?newsIdx=292662

There's what websites/apps you use, but also your behavior patterns. Are you a night owl? How often do you check some website or app. I'm sure there's a lot of other information they do gather based on the "metadata"
Yes, I would. In fact, I'd use any boring technology [0]. Anything that's been around and battle tested.

If I was at a startup trying to solve a business problem, the last thing I'd want to do is bruise my knuckles fighting with my tools. Rails provides an opinionated way to structure your codebase as well as many existing modules that just work. It's not exclusive in this space, but it's a safe bet. You can get any dev that's familiar with rails to ramp up pretty quick. If you rolled a custom web framework in a dialect of javascript you may have a more challenging time.

“Better to have launched and lost than never to have launched at all”

Some of the resources are short-lived, including jobs and dev containers. The corresponding CRs are created/updated/deleted directly in the cluster by the project users through a REST API. For these, expansion of the CR into child resources must happen dynamically.

Other CRs are realized through imperative commands executed against a REST API. Prime example is KeycloakRealm and KeycloakClient which translate into API calls to Keycloak, or FSXFileSystem which needs Boto3 to talk to AWS (at least for now, until FSXFileSystem is also implemented in ACK).

For long-lived resources up-front (compile time?) expansion would be possible, we just don't know where to put the expansion code. Currently long-lived resource CRs are stored in Git, deployment is handled with Flux. When projects want an extra resource, we just commit it to Git under their project-resources folder. I guess we could somehow add an extra step here - running a script? - which would do the expansion and store the children in Git before merging desired state into the nonprod/prod branches, I'm just not clear on how to do this in a way that feels nice.

Currently the entire stack can be run on a developer's laptop, thanks to the magic of Tilt. In local dev it comes really handy that you can just change a CRs and the children are synced immediately.

Drawbacks we identified so far:

If we change the expansion logic, child resources of existing parents are (eventually) regenerated using the new logic. This can be a bad thing - for example jobs (which expand into Argo Workflows) should not change while they are running. Currently the only idea we have to mitigate this problem is storing the initial expansion into a ConfigMap and returning the original expansion from this "expansion cache" if it exists at later syncs.

Sometimes the Metacontroller plugin cannot be a pure function and executing the side effects introduces latency into the sync. This didn't cause any problems so far but maybe will as it goes against the Metacontroller design expressed in the docs.

Python is a memory hog, our biggest controllers can take ~200M.
That makes sense, thanks for your response!

I’m truly sorry to hear about the challenges you’re going through, and I genuinely hope improvements in the technological landscape afford you greater access to the world in each coming year than is taken away.
When I worked on PCI certified software it was a 'you will be fired' thing. If you are just implementing something for a single customer and they have a processor account for a single site, I wouldn't do it but I guess you could. But if they have say 40 sites using this payment processor, and you could bring down all 40 sites so that they can't make any sales?

Edit: Do you really think banks' compliance departments are going to care about your argument? 'I was only doing this thing your documentation says not to do a few times'? 'I only knowing made the first transactions across your gateway in intentional violation of your requirements but I was going to stop violating them later'? Do you want to put your job/work on the line for that?
But a human can tell you if they are not too sure and completely sure.
Do you suspect that their plan to use Windows 11 to force everybody onto hardware with a TPM is the result of:

> no vision, no direction, no soul, no plan, nothing

Based on their increasingly user-hostile decisions up to this point (re: tricking people into using edge, ads in the start menu, etc) it's pretty clear that the name of the game is to monetize their privileged position as OS vendor by selling their users out to the highest bidder.

I expect they want TPMs everywhere so that they can abuse the passkey protocol's "attestation statement" to include attestations to advertisers about the user themselves, rather than about the auth circumstances (which is what that field is for). Being able to expose details about the human on the other side of an otherwise anonymous browser session is big money for advertisers, and if everybody has a TPM Microsoft can cryptographically exclude competitors from that channel (they no longer have to care if you're using chrome instead of edge). As for the AI everywhere, that's how they'll get to know you so that there's something to sell.

They've got a lot of thought going into their product, it's just that none of that thought is for the benefit of their users. Which is why I heartily disagree with:

> I find it hard to feel any kind of strong emotion towards Microsoft
This is unfair comparison to Proton as it is bundled with their VPN, Calendar, Drive, and Password manager. Given all it comes with, it's very competitively priced. Additionally, they've been at it a long time and built a strong brand around privacy.

Democrats are not against voter ID if voter ID is free and easy to obtain for every person who is legally entitled to vote. And by "free" I don't mean that there is just no fee charged by the agency that issues the ID. I mean that it also shouldn't require documentation that cannot be obtained for free.

There are plenty of links in this comment [1] with details on how many Americans who are legally entitled to vote lack ID and why it is difficult for many to obtain it.

Interesting. I did not know that. But not surprising in retrospect.

But I think the point still stands. WealthSimple is probably not perceived by the median customer as a traditional bank. So people using it is a counter-example to GGP's point that people won't use "startup" banks.
