<p>> Token leaderboards are a ridiculous idea<p>We have this at work, it's insane. Today I used opus high thinking to write a jira ticket for simple API endpoint. Every code change, every bug fix, every single code review, I have to utilize AI because managers will complain how we are not using AI enough. Every single person in my team have performance goal to increase AI usage.<p>At least meta will use employee prompts to train an LLM, so maybe it makes sense for them in the long run. We are not training models, only consuming external LLMs.</p>

<p>> Employee owned co-ops are more humane<p>Speaking as someone born in Yugoslavia.<p>That's almost how it was in Yugoslavia. Companies where "owned by society", but workers had voting rights. Whenever there was a vote to decide whether extra profit should be used for capital investments and/or operational improvements or assigned to salaries budget, everyone voted to increase their salaries.<p>Not every employ should be a co-owner, or at least not everyone should have voting rights.</p>

<p>Most of these problems could be solved with something like wasm/wasi where you can limit access to web, disk, etc... WASI is made to run code you don't trust, you could even limit compute third party is using so they can't mine crypto (I think it's called fuel limit). Ideally we would have whole IDE run in this kind of environment where we can explicitly say what it can and can't do.</p>

<p>I worked for a payment processor in Europe, we provided SEPA and some other payments, but not card payments (so there could be some difference).<p>Difference is in fees and licenses. Payment processors that process high risk payments (adult industry, gambling, etc...) have higher fees and need license from governing body (usually a national bank in country where the payment processor is registered). So if you process high risk payments as low risk you will get a fine from governing body and you risk to lose your license. And if you don't have a license for high risk payments you cannot process them.<p>I don't work there anymore, but I heard they lost SEPA license a couple of years ago because of risky transactions.<p>Now I am not sure if Visa and Master are forcing payment providers to give up high risk transactions or if they are forcing them to classify all transactions as low/high risk.</p>

<p>I think they are saying passwords are salted and we use multiple rounds of hashing to prevent rainbow tables and slow down brute-forcing the password (in case of db leak). We don't need to do that for randomized long strings (like api keys), no one is guessing 32 character random string, so no salt is needed and we don't need multiple rounds of hashing.</p>
