A "trusted" browser extension that alters Headers "should" achieve the same result. I don't personally see the need to switch Browsers (e.g. Chrome) just to "masquerade as Microsoft Edge when visiting Bing".

Unless I'm missing something from the article?

>> J P Morgan Chase, Bank of America, seeking among other things “[c]opies of all bank statements” relating to Mr. Polselli and petitioners ..."

the above leave it open for "select * from records where customer_id = '...' " , DUMP all transactions.

but the definition of “in aid of the collection.” should be yielding a narrower query, not ALL (*) transactions may be in "aid of", some may be private and even sensitive in nature yet legit.

For example, the Banks could provide a sample schema (+data) with a GUI to IRS so their operatives can construct a query, providing a case/reason for requiring each column.

Also a good idea to create business accounts and run all biz transactions via that, keeping private accounts for personal use.

>> My friends and I were complaining about having to decipher incomprehensible code one day

Your raw sample files [1] are already highly descriptive: filenames, component names, variables etc etc. the auto-generated comments add only noise (increase file size). I would use complex, hard-to-decipher incomprehensible code to show how these comments bring sense forth. Perhaps let it loose on the Linux Kernel source, see what it does - an idea

Personally, I prefer the doc-as-you-code approach, especially using context-aware naming. When code's cryptic & large, i try to visualise it e.g. Sequence Diagram from code (intellij).

I like it! When are you releasing the Popover-Blocker API?

Everything old is new again :( arghhh popups

unless ChatGPT flushes & sandboxes training data it received during the session, this could open be massive legal issues uploading Private or Protected material.

>> 90% of My Skills are now worth $0

yes, it's an oversimplification; but i do think AI hype will pipe-down (just as many other shiny promises: self-driving cars, swimming pools on Mars, crypto for everyone etc).

writing software, like writing books/essays/poetry, it's a highly creative and analytical process; tiny variations in content could potentially lead to massive consequences that may only be noticeable when released into the wild. most issues these industries face are not on Quantity or Speed these days, but on Quality, Proofing and Integration.

>> it has been easier (so far) to directly compute the images than it has been to train them to use photoshop or illustrator.

possible because training models are fed by an abundance of existing human-generated content, which is ever increasing in quality, dirt-cheap, and easily accessible; which doesn't make AI Generated Content disruptive in this respect (my view).

not sure what you mean by "easier", since computers are better at following rules and people better at reasoning.

>> I agree that logically your statement makes sense ...

Isn't that the best case for AI generated content, logical-sense? or are you suggesting more (e.g 'source of meaning')?

for many apps recently, the pay $$ "use X forever" has evolved to mean "pay $$ for version X and use it forever", then bring a new paid version of X every year or so.

I'm all for monetising projects - just can't see a one-off $29 making them much, it's a niche product (as you say).

TBH these days, even if the CS curriculum doesn't require an undergrad to cover the above, there's plenty of rich material online (youtube etc) that cover these fundamentals - so in my view, you'd have to work hard to avoid knowing about them if you're serious about a career in this industry.

heck, even a decent-sized side-project would quickly expose one to DBS intricacies , computing tasks in parallel or across networks of computers.

I don't see how a more stringent CS curriculums would help here - the market is often ahead of academia in this respect (computing).

you get an edge over size with binary formats, but it's a pain to edit on the fly - svg has relatively low barrier to entry in this respect.

perhaps a TVG niche could be around embedded, low-power, slow-connection devices where content is mainly read-only.

> void fn() { int tobias; delete &tobias; } <malloc>: ** error pointer being freed was not allocated

i wouldn't say that's an illegal op per se, if anything it's a pretty safe op! tobias only ever existed in thought, not in body :( :(

maybe a compiler WARN or IGNORED_OP

sadly, cloud providers (GCE, AWS etc) make it too convenient and cheap to host/manage container/package registries. You also have github, gitlab offering similar services, free or cheap, eating further into Docker's market.

I don't see how they can offer Free accounts to Orgs unless they've a steady-growing paying-customer base to offset running costs.

Unless they massively restrict team size, image size, number of projects, throttle connections - costs would spiral out of control.

> They could have sleepwalked into a $120B+ market cap payments market dramatically shifted with emergence of Device Pay (Google/Apple Pay), I think an IPO would've distracted them - staying private for now makes sense, they can focus on differentiating factors.

Automated KYC/AML rules/ai may flag an activity in err, but if you chased (no pun) the issue with an operator, your local branch and even their Compliance Dept, well then it's likely more serious.

> Anyone have any ideas of what I should do next? I'd hire a chartered Accountant with some experience in AML, to quickly go through your transactions and see if there're any hints/suggestions as to what may've triggered it

brilliant article - the TS therein is type-hints basically, helping the coder program to chess spec. so yes, in that scenario it's not generating JS (functions etc) lol

What happened to Failing Gracefully or is that not necessary, just throw and let it bubble-up to the Treasury/BoE, they'll catch and handle it??

so many startups, in tech of all industries, seemed to have Banked most if not all their funds just with SVB: all eggs in one basket strategy.

talk about everything everywhere and all at once!

This situation is ridiculously unsafe, and avoidable.

Surprised Goldmans didn't buy them - and position it as Marcus for Startups.

yes but what is it? is it a take on canva + dale-2? for a startup 'join the waitlist' makes sense - but here i don't see why, or even what for, it's unclear to me.

why down-vote? was making fun of 'zero energy' being a useless & inaccurate term since energy is required, there's no such thing as zero energy in that context.

a physical switch would be ideal - akin to Ring/Silent feature on iPhones

python on the browser is a good use-case, a kinda edge computing scenario where a python API responds with data and python code for client to post-process before display/acting-on.

wow that's at least 240% over budget

zero energy, zero home then.

in my view, a new edge computing entrant needs a niche market e.g low latency gaming or privacy-heavy computing, and to stay away from MAAG cloud territory.

many industries (legal etc) were more productive during covid (WFH), wondering if employee productivity analysis over the lockdown period led to drastic staff reduction.

makes little-to-no sense otherwise to lay off staff en mass as the economies open up, takes ages to re-hire. look at Aviation or Hospitality industries, how they struggled to rehire to keep-up with customer demand when lockdown ended.

I don't think the issue here is Writing, but rather Reading, and not only the textual output, but also the Situation.

p.s. ChaptGPT :P

Pay Monthly to Verify your ID once - if anything looks indicative of an industry struggling to monetise, big time; much like the traditional/Print Media went through. The ID issue is an Auth-issue and trivial compared to the bigger issue in Media, namely Content (being: subjective, polarised, spam, nonsense/trash etc).

More like Canon Emacs!

0) Politics is a messy, confusing affair, even by-nature (if you will). I would take such lineage claims with a generous pinch of salt ;)

1) the Ancient world was gravely brutal. Sex, Pregnancy and Fighting were more often used synonyms than most may realize today. Hard to tell how many children Mark Anthony knew he himself 'fathered', let alone us today. Slavery and serfdom was rife in/around Europe up to 1400s, and in parts up to as late as mid-1800s!

2) Bolsheviks were ruthless in removing the Tsar+family + opposition. it's highly unlikely they would've been so lean on such famous linage from little ancient Rome; they were full of paranoia.

Article's a great read though.

considering how massive & varied the MS ecosystem is, kinda surprised it works as well as it does tbh. for most biz/big orgs (MS bread-n-butter), good-enough pays the bills; non-functional requirements (speed, cool-factor etc) aren't much of a priority.

It's easier for IT deps at mid-to-big corps already invested in MS, wins on price, and connects well with MS infra (office, security/auditing etc).

With MS moving to Edge browser, their strategy looks interesting, and I think they will be solving much of their tech headaches (Teams, office etc) by shifting to mainly Web Technologies (even web3).
