Honey, get used to it :)

But seriously. I am not against ai slops in general, people explore what’s possible to make. But I don’t really appreciate them at Show HN - there should be a new thread for ai-made or -assisted projects, or there should be a disclosure in project description.

Agreed. I created plenty of sloppy but useful personal one-page tools with Claude myself. Faster than googling them most of the time. The problem is when you get convinced they‘re good enough to present them this way.

People should have a separate card for online payments and have just enough money on it for a payment.

I know that I am naïve :)

Back to the article: Weak point was a password that lead to another merchant not using 3D secure.

It seems from the article that bad actors have fully automated system, so (big) merchants should have handle automatic login attempts from the same ip address with different accounts. I see it from our wordfence logs that ip rotation is not so quick so it could be handled with some permanent ip blocking.

Tbh, fraud for credit cards is covered by the bank, so I typically just don't care. I just check my statements for anything that looks off.

Mercury now offers personal bank accounts. You can create virtual debit cards just like companies can with Brex/Mercury/Ramp etc.

I agree with the seperate card. That was my seperate card and luckily the amount was not quite big because of that.

>Weak point was a password that lead to another merchant not using 3D secure

Well leaking a password shouldn't cause leaking a whole ass credit card data imo. The same data is printed on physical receipts the markets print, sometimes 4 digits, sometimes 10 digits. It's still possible to brute force from unattended physical receipts on the market.

I think https://privacy.com is the best solution we can have with the current system.

My previous bank provided this virtual card service on demand. You create the card for a single purchase with a specific amount and that’s it. I moved to an other bank when getting an affordable mortgage loan became impossible in it for me.

Why should they, if they're not liable for any resulting fraud of the status quo?

Not affiliated, but Capital One Eno virtual cards work well for this purpose.

Well done.

Dependence on Cloudflare… have you considered making it a service that I could install on my own server?

Thank you. The relay is a small websocket server, isolated, so it could be adapted and self hosted. I’ll add it to the roadmap.

We also need to focus on our Roots (alternate for cloud focusing homelab)

The waterfall is this: Owners/managers - sales and marketing - agency - designers - coders…

…and owners’ spouses/partners… these have a final word in many cases :)

Customers or users? They are designed as persona types during sales/marketing and agency meetings.

I saw so many overdesigned sites and sentences not giving any sense that they would do better with a simple bullet list and CTA “Call us” :)

Sidenote: Sublime remembers all tabs even those unsaved. (Software update deletes this memory.)

I use Sublime as a scratchpad and never save anything, so this is an important feature for me. It's worked flawlessly for years.

I've tried Zed several times like this and it continues to lose data.

> Software update deletes this memory.

While there was a bug where the session was lost when updating, this was fixed years ago.

Great, good to know. Thanks. I wasn’t brave enough to test, so I hope you are a human not a dog that tries to prank me :))

> Software update deletes this memory.

Are you sure? I believe Sublime preserves all your unsaved tabs even on update.

Last time I have updated (half a year ago) it deleted tabs. And since that time I haven’t been brave enough to update it again as I have too many tabs unsaved :)

i lost all the open tabs last time i upgraded sublime.

burned once, twice shy; i wouldnt update without spending an hour making up names for random junk files

I have not lost any Sublime tab in 15 years (I have tabs this old).

Sublime also saves a backup of its state files next to the state files in your home dir, so you can restore in case anything ever goes wrong (e.g. bugs in the new version).

The .sublime_session state files are JSON, easy to read for a human.

> spending an hour making up names for random junk files

That is completely unnecessary. You can just backup the '.sublime_session' file that contains all that before an upgrade if you are worried. Sublime already stores all its state in 1 file; manually spreading that across N files seems unfun busywork. A quick web search reveals that by the way.

(I perpetually have 40 Sublime windows open, each one with tens to hundreds of tabs. My 'Auto Save Session.sublime_session' is 70 MB.)

It's a shame I didn't know that. Thanks.

Article mentions a book "The AI Con" that argues that much of what is labeled "artificial intelligence" is a misleading term that obscures ordinary automation while concentrating power in a small number of technology firms.

So fear-mongering seems to be just a tool how to get attention and more customers.

Hey ma, I use very dangerous tool now. I am OG.

“This has resulted in fractured attention, anxiety, and sadly, a diminished sense of place and belonging even with the connectivity the internet could offer.”

Do you think this might also be related to recent people’s estrangement from housing?

Housing seems to become a commodity as other things…

You have to switch the reader mode on. :)

Muscles that are not used weaken. Back before mobile phones, it was common to memorize entire phone numbers. And before Google, we used to be able to remember web addresses.

Now it is coding.

Absolutely, wise man (not an entrepreneur) writes a message to his students.

We seem to forget what it was to be a freshman.

At that age, you look up to anyone who’s more experienced.

Yes, you have to deliver, iterate and make mistakes very often to learn from them.

But as the text clearly states: relationships, people and justice matter more.
