Wait a second. You mean that until now you could just open a Stripe account with random personal details, without verification? You could just say "trust me, bro about my details", and Stripe did trust you?

Based on your description this sounds to me like a big KYC hole which they are trying to plug in now.

It would be interesting to know how many such accounts exist...

Is this good for something, beside being an informal, but kinda educated guess at ATS market share? Like are there some tricks how to get through different ATS' automated filters which would make it useful to know what they use?

SpaceX is a rocket company, ISP, AI developer and social network operator also. Which one should be open sourced? And how would it work exactly?

I imagine if some parts could be kicked off as an OSS project, there would be no problem with getting contributors. But for example rockets require a lot of work from a lot of people, but the amount of people who benefit from them isn't particularly big. Maybe their number is only single digit.

    > Guys, if you could stop being a competitor that would be swell, thanks

Sounds reasonable.

That "Location" list is quite a bit of wild west :)

This is just the start. Today companies still fix such issues. But in the next few years it will slowly turn into "if this is what the robot did, then it must be correct, otherwise it wouldn't have done it".

We have seen this with the internet too: if you reported a website bug 20 years ago, frequently it was corrected almost immediately, getting a "thx" the same afternoon. Today people don't even understand what a broken link is, they just claim that things work as they should.

My method is very primitive: I have separate physical machines for work and for personal use. And I don't mix the two. The work machine uses my employer's security policy (When I use a freelancing laptop, it is encrypted and uses ubikey for unlocking. I install a new OS for a new job). This way I don't have to worry about visiting not so reputable sites through company VPN or uploading a company document to 4chan accidentally... because these things are just separated as hard as possible.

I'd like to rant about people who have no idea what they are doing and why they are doing it, but still, they consider themselves an authority. I'd really like to rant about this for 40 minutes without breathing pause, but the truth is that I have 15 minutes limit on HN, and afterwards I'm locked out for 4 hours.

Regardless of the query string quality, it would be really interesting if these results could be compared somehow with the results from 8 years ago.

When Google was not evil yet, their search engine was like magic, it just knew what you were searching for. Sure, time makes forget about problems, but there is a reason why their search engine allowed to become the behemoth they are today.

I find this to be a bit strange question considering that I haven't mentioned the tablet model... but incidentally the answer is "yes" to both questions - it can boot from sd card also (beside eMMC), and there is a setup guide available: https://github.com/biolds/tibuta-w100/ (somewhat similar to the OP one)

Can't speak for OP, of course.

Some time ago I got myself a similarly priced x86-64 Windows tablet on Amazon (Celeron N4020 + 4 GB RAM). I installed Linux Mint on it with a slightly customized kernel (some extra quirks were needed).

I connected an old SSD to it with a SATA2USB adapter, and I use it as a home file server and HTPC. It has a micro HDMI output, and it is connected to my TV. During the day it is playing music non-stop, in the evening it is playing some movies. It has no problem with high bitrate full HD movies, the CPU doesn't even break a sweat. I think it could also play 4K content, if I had any.

(Previously I used a Mac Mini with VLC for this for a few years, but I'm happier with my current setup, it's more stable)

Touchscreens need to be used in a specific way. Most people does it already instinctively, but it is very easy to do it wrong. E.g. if you try tap on a button, but you move your finger 2mm on the screen, that tap becomes a swipe, and nothing happens.

Is there a readable version of the exploit readily available by any chance? Gotta admit that I failed binary-zip-interpretation-with-naked-eye class twice

I have no access to the article, so just guessing that this is yet another round? If they fire everyone, who will generate their LLM training data?

The product is real (even if it's not as perfect as the companies claim, it has uses), but the imagined future income that the companies are spending already are out of this world. OpenAI needs literally a trillion dollar in the next 3-4 years or so - and they are just one company.

The problem with de-googling is rarely the lack of reason. Most people have at least 1... the problem comes when you try to find a similarly featured alternative.

E.g. I have been on the lookout for an affordable email provider which has a reliable track record of having their mails delivered, but each one I have found had at least weeks long period of having delivery issues. Or Android... the only realistic alternative is iOS... well, you tell me which is worse. Sure, I have played with Linux on mobile, and there is a reason why it is not a thing.

Okay, their search engine is the easiest to ditch - they managed to bring its quality down to the level of bing and yandex. The switch is pretty much seamless now...

This has 50% very interesting details in it, and 50% rant. If you would clean up your thoughts, and maybe also make a side-by-side comparison with before/after results, this could get easily to the front page - the topic deserves some attention...

Probably it will have a very measurable effect. By every day it gets a bit harder to discover such services - if you know, you know. If you have to ask, you have already lost.

Also, AI chatbots outright refuse to give any answer that is remote related to piracy (or any adjacent topics). Since they take over the role of search engines, that's also a big factor IMO.

I just find it extraordinary that the biggest tech company in the world can do cutting edge real time AI for millions of people, run Youtube and of course all the other google services with having literally the smartest people in the world and unlimited resources on board, but still can't keep real time track of the user's current billing and their spending limits, it's all best effort still. Somehow it doesn't add up. (Pun not intended, but I'm happy to have it)

Interesting. In Switzerland I see exactly the opposite. The country is full of empty bike lanes, and pedestrian zones which are overran by cyclists and e-scooters (of course they are adjacent to the mentioned empty lanes).

Maybe they should pivot to be an AI company, just like allbirds did.

Haha, we had a solution for that, called pop-up blockers. Then when they became very usable, everyone switched to overlays injected with javascript, so they became unblockable.

But thinking of this at this moment, this could be a good use for a locally ran LLM, to get rid of all this crap dynamically. I wonder why Firefox didn't use this as a usecase when they bolted AI on top of Firefox. Maybe it is time for me to check what api FF has for this

What if you would rather stay in the bicycle lane instead of terrorizing pedestrians? Quite a lot of taxes were paid for those lanes. Use them, and stay out of my headset.

I love how SO lets itself being bullied by 25-30 high-rep users - the very same users who have chased away all the other users from the website.

While AI definitely took away a lot of people from SO, most people are relieved that they don't have to interact with that literally garbage community when they have an IT/CS question. They didn't leave because of the website design, but I also believe that the new design wouldn't have chased many away either.

These users' rule hasn't really worked out so far, as demonstrated by the current state of SO. Maybe it is time to ignore that very small, but very vocal group? Though probably that should have happened years ago, maybe it's just time to cut their losses.

Hmmm, I have been thinking about this too. 10 years ago I was more productive when all I had was a bottom of the barrel 21 inch Benq monitor instead of the 3 big monitors I use now. Maybe I was younger. Or maybe I should just switch back to my old screen for a few days, and see what happens...

    > everything is untrue, that's why we have changed every aspect of our business in the past 96 hours

I gotta say I'm convinced

  >  interest rate of 1.5% per month, which could rise to 3% if a liquidity event is not completed within a year

Lol wut. Loan with 20% or 43% (compounded) interest per year?

Are sizzling hot AI startups really forced to go to loan sharks, reputable banks and other venture capitalists don't even come into picture?

Okay, but why?

Not saying I support stealing, but Nestle isn't exactly going to go bankrupt from this, and frankly, it is one of the last corporations I will ever shed a single tear for. They definitely make it hard to feel bad for them.

Haha, imagine it Apache would merge LibreOffice back to OpenOffice, and developers also switched. Would be the circle of the decade.

On a different note, this industry used to have so much more fun - just solving puzzles to herd bits - before it was flooded by politics.

Congrats!/Sorry that this happened to you.

(Not sure which would be more appropriate)
