It's good that there's progress being made on Parkinson's, even if there's no cure.

My father had it, and he's a definite data point for it being caused by trichloroethylene, as an engineer that worked with metal and degreasers, he was exposed to it for years.

That ship has sailed in NL, where only 20% of store payments are in cash (despite quasi-regular outages of the electronic payment networks).
What if you just wanted to train a specialized diffusion model on free house plans?
The libertarian-minded tend to think that this kind of freedom is necessary to prevent government overreach and oppression, but in reality the bulk of the people making large cash transactions are either avoiding taxes (ripping off you, the taxpayer) or participating in organized crime (human trafficking, weapons/drugs/counterfeit black markets, etc).

I would also argue that the only people making cash transactions that large are probably way wealthier than the average person and, again, are looking to launder their money.

Think about it seriously: in what scenario would you choose to use physical cash to make a transaction amounting in the thousands of dollars?

That's so insanely risky. You'd be a walking target. You could lose the money, someone could steal the money, it could be physically damaged.

It even puts you at risk during the transaction: why would the other party sell you the good when the money is right there ready to be robbed from you? There is no recourse because it's all under the table. I can't stop a check or have a paper trail to take to court if you just take my cash.

There is no situation I would be comfortable making a transaction with that much cash (unless I was in so insanely wealthy that this amount of money meant nothing to me).
> Undoubtedly so but I have yet to see one that doesn't make mistakes a human would be unlikely to.

Absolutely, AI is very rarely human in its failure modes, and often has novel and exciting failure modes instead.

But, on average… or so the marketing claims… it makes fewer mistakes.

For a while, it was possible to improve upon super-human chess AI by pairing them with a human; the combination was called a centaur. Eventually the AI got too good even for that as they stopped making the sorts of mistakes humans could spot, but in the meantime, even though they were superhuman, they had failure modes that we could help out with.
Regular working people are spending 3K in cash?
It's also because these agencies are reliant of politicians and government institutions for funding. So there is a balance between "showing what the public actually cares about" and "keeping this guy happy so we can keep up funding / congressional support / etc."
Ever been to the Balkans? Visited Greece once? Literally every day every single ATM has 30 minute queues. People remember the day when government froze all their money, but notified their millionaire friends a day before so they could move money abroad.
What is racist in it? Are you confusing it with “Try That in a Small Town”?
Why would the bank say no, if I have the funds?

And let's not start with some fetish fantasy about "because an oppressive regime could do so any time"
My uncle used to save 5 cent guilder coins (stuivers in Dutch). I don't know why, maybe he wanted to be a copper Scrooge McDuck it was an obsession of his, always ask people if he could change some money with him. After a while he had many of those plastic drum barrels full of coins in the attic. The problem was that the ceiling under the attic started to visibly bulge, so they decided to bring them to the bank. He said that all the work was worth it to see the expression on the bank tellers face when they rolled those barrels in the bank.
I might get downvoted for saying so, but the internet is a dangerous place. If you aren’t alert enough to solve a captcha, much worse things can happen to you than having difficulty signing into GitHub. I’d prefer GitHub to remain secure, even if it’s hard for a negligible fraction of users who forget their passwords.
Ten years into my self-taught software engineer career I ran across a statement "if you aren't seeing problems in your work that can be solved by graphs (or any advanced algorithms really), then you are likely avoiding those problems."

I thought he may be right, picked up an algorithm book and started a "coding club" at the company I was working at where we'd meet and go over the details of a specific algorithm.

I became a better programmer for it.
> So what this AI tool does is make it safer to be obese, thereby causing long-term suffering for more of the population. And part of the reason why people are obese is because of technology doing so many things so efficiently for them.

What? How does that make sense? It's easier to be obese because now you won't die from cancer, therefor people will stay obese? I guess that's technically true but like... the alternative is they get cancer.

If the assumption is "well, they'll get cancer and then they'll have a wake up call and lose weight, assuming they survive" I question how that's better than "they'll get a cancer diagnosis, very likely survive, and still understand the severity of their issue".

I think you're also assuming that overweight people aren't aware of the problem. Anyone who's going to the dr and is overweight is going to be told flat out that they need to lose the weight to improve their health. Yes, it would be great to have some way to just not be overweight but I don't see how this research is making things worse.
Without cash, you're giving the government the power to de-bank you and control what you can and can't spend your money on, even your ability to feed yourself.

In Canada, during COVID Lockdowns they prevented the unvaccinated from getting on planes or trains, or buses. And required truckers to get the shot to drive their trucks.

The truckers protested, so the government froze the protestor's accounts and many of those who that donated to them. So people started to give them cash so they can feed themselves and continue the protest.
Literally without cash, these people would be on the brink of bankruptcy and starvation.
I think OP meant the epic games store, not the epic engine.
Any other opinion is support of nanny state oppression.
>>You can look in some of my recent comments to see a thread where people in Amsterdam were celebrating the installation of "noise cameras" along public roads because they bought into the claims that it was to fine "loud cars."

I think that's an insane argument to use to "prove" that NL is descending into tyranny. Loud cars(and motorbikes) are an actual nuisance to people and it's great that they are being introduced. What's next, speed cameras are tyranny too?
It works that way if you correctly use modern features of CSS/HTML. This is just one of those features. It’s very difficult to correctly update the web platform because backward compatibility is so important for the most widely used programming platform in the world.
I'll bite verge/vergits?.

The article could have a better title, as the article clearly states Google is more in a dispute with one of its suppliers , and less of believing UMG's position. It's less hypocritical as implied by the title.

The articles could start mentioning the CFAA, and how US courts have interpreted it. It's kinda important to how the web scraping questions will go in court. I'd like an article about world wide web scraping legalities.

Also, verge should mention in these articles that they have said no to gpt bot.

Not that it really matters in figuring out vox's positions, but they like to report on conflicts of interest.
Right, but they don't control the distribution and transaction of cash. They may stop producing €500 notes—for example, but there is nothing they can do to stop these farmers or undocumented immigrants from bundling together >€3000 in smaller notes for use in paying rent, buying cars, or investments.
Friends don't let friends use the PostgreSQL dialect with Google Cloud Spanner
After using the PostgreSQL dialect of Google cloud spanner, we've found some annoying limitations. Overall the dialect seems less than fully baked, missing support for many key functions.
Of course it needs to exist, but at the same time using it for huge numbers like 3000+ euros is in practice almost only done by criminals. It's a good balance imo.
I would think Chameleons count has having active camouflage, no?
I duno if I agree with this. They might not go lot to lot but a big developer also is the one who orientates the lots and selects the designs ... I think it is all relative to how they do business / organize lots.

It's more general than lot to lot, but still seems to take into account the general lay of the land, the city's codes and etc.

They seem to be of most use to rich people who want to hide assets from the tax man by carrying the cash across the border to Switzerland. Probably doesn't work as well as it used to anymore though. A few years back I talked to a guy from norther Italy who said most people had a second bank account in Switzerland to hide money from the government.
In NL bank transfers are immediate and used everywhere, and the fees for having a bank account are so ridiculously low I don’t even know them anymore, never bothered.

The online payment system via bank transfers (iDeal) works so well I’ve heard it’s going to become a european thing, and I’m legit excited about that.
Because the whole endeavor was financed for its political impact.
This website consists of content copied and translated from other Chinese websites (possibly without permission). The homepage is pumping out articles much faster than I would expect a person to be able to write them (though that's subjective). Additionally this article is a machine or human-translated version of https://luyuhuang.tech/2022/06/25/cpp-memory-order.html (both articles have a Chinese comment of `将变量 a 加载到寄存器`, which was not translated into English; I would expect an author to not put Chinese comments into English articles) but the source article goes completely unattributed. The adjacent article https://www.sobyte.net/post/2022-06/shell-1/ is a translated version of https://a-wing.top/shell/2021/05/01/sh-compatibles-history, which copies the code comments verbatim while also not citing the source.

The website's About page says, "What I’ve read, what I’ve learned." So I guess they're technically telling users the articles aren't actually written by the blog's owner? Of course the blog owner includes Google Ads on articles taken from other sites without attribution.

At least the recent articles at least have the courtesy to link to their original sources. The latest article from 9 days ago (https://www.sobyte.net/post/2023-08/gonew/) is a translated version of https://tonybai.com/2023/08/11/introduction-to-the-gonew-too... (from a different author) and shares the same snippets, though this article includes the original article's URL at the bottom (in a non-clickable code block to avoid sharing SEO reputation I guess?).

EDIT: The stolen content was actually noticed last time sobyte.net showed up on HN (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32456336), but that user did not investigate to find that multiple articles were all translated without attribution.
You'll be downvoted, but to answer this question with all honesty:

1) Disallowing a third-party in every single transaction you make, especially as

1a) Inflation means 3k now might be quite low in 20 years

1b) Banks themselves have been shown to be scummy

1c) Banks are a rare institution to allow outsiders into.

2) Bank accounts themselves are not actually all that accessible; it's quite common for people to be ineligible for a bank account under random (but common) circumstances. -- an interesting loop you can get into is that you need to pay a utility bill in order to get a bank account, yet you can't pay a utility bill without a bank account.

3) Cash is the only fiat currency that actually exists, I know it's trendy to think that lines in a database are meaningful- but if you have physical cash you know what it's worth and it can't be hacked or seized. (though a good counterpoint is of course that you can be robbed or it can get destroyed).

I live in Sweden and we're very far down the path of "cash is dead" - there's a considerable number of stores and fast food joints that do not even accept cash. However, when I moved to this country I couldn't open a bank account and without people accepting cash at that time I would have paid exorbitant fees on each transaction.

So with that in mind I'm not in favour of restricting cash, I'm aware of the drawbacks of large fiat currency transactions; but It gives the central banks even more power than they currently have (which is a lot, which you'd know if you were on the wrong side of a policy or get into one of their loops) and we're not sure that they are going to continue to be fair into the future.

Note: you cannot hold a bank account with the central bank that actually issues currency. You are voting for a middle-man.
'complete' doesn't mean 'enter the amount of change in your pocket, and small amount of holiday spending money rolled up in your socks' though. GP's right that you only have to declare certain things, a completed form can be 'nothing to declare', which obviously doesn't mean 'I am entering nude with no belongings'.

On Windows it's 4-finger swipe left/right but it's not possible to switch between apps on macOS via gestures without 3-rd party apps. That's why I didn't get that 'compromise on UX' statement.

Fantastic writeup, and the code examples go a long way to making this comprehensive article easy to consume.

That being said, I disagree with this: "I strongly believe beginners should start their first serious project with django and not flask, despite the fact most people see it the other way around"

Given the dearth of django content for beginners, flask seems much easier to learn. This is based on my own work over the last year, so YMMV.

Following Twitter seems like a suboptimal move to me:

https://www.bbc.com/news/business-66217641

And according to this the extreme tactics only destroyed Twitter, they did not even achieve an actual return to office.

https://archive.md/GvzCX (original link: https://fortune.com/2023/03/24/return-to-office-elon-musk-tw... )

Add to that that Twitter is now letting go of office space as well. Now some of that is due to layoffs, but it could also mean Mr. Musk is not even expecting RTO to work at Twitter, or at least not to the extent he planned.

This has implications that are obviously undesirable, like prohibiting returning errors borrowing file paths allocated on the stack.

There is quite a difference between "the author added a lockfile without understanding why they exist" and "I really don't see why they added a lockfile".

It's better to start with the latter if you seek to understand, not attack.
> That's a separate problem that allowing overeager regulation of currency utilization enables.

Now it seems like you are resorting to the libertarian fantasizing that used to be so common on news-for-nerds sites.

> Note, I said hush money, not extortion.

Threatening to go public with a story when the other party might feel compelled to pay hush money, is already viewed as extortion.

> Few as litigious as the USA _so far_.

The special litigiousness of the USA is due to a number of longstanding factors including its inherited common-law system that differs from most other developed countries. It is not clear why you would expect other countries to become as litigious anytime soon.

> A better set of questions here: who benefits, and by how much, with regulating currency so tightly?

The general public who can be sure that taxes are being paid fairly and they are receiving the services they should. Again, not all countries are as culturally forgiving of tax evasion as Americans, let alone those places with even less controls over the flow of cash than the USA.
In addition to what dataflow already said: while something might look free because you don't need to emit any kind of special instruction to get the desired result, doesn't mean that it's free in hardware. The reason why a lot of CPU architectures have weaker memory ordering is because this is faster on a hardware level. Consider that for sequential consistency to work on a multithreaded system, caches of all cores must be kept in sync. This is hidden from you, but does result in higher latencies and more power usage.
> That was one of the surprising marketing lessons for the early iPhones and is a well known social phenomenon.

I don't think that invalidates my position, or argument: hence why I said that laptops provide a better UX, if I had been introduced to the bloated, spyware ridden version of the Internet provided by mobile as my first experience online, I'm pretty sure I would have never bothered. It is such an inferior version of the internet demanding more and more of the person's privacy in order to just to use as Surveillance capitalism relies on it's users data to be the ultimate product.

> I love when people who don’t know any poor people go on these rants.

And I love it when people's biases make them so blind they can rationalize the perverse system, that they likely benefit from one form or another, that underpins it and try to sound righteous (we help the poor) in the process. This is exactly what fueled the cult of effective altruism and why it was as effective as it was as it gave grifters a way to rationalize their cons.
Just to be clear, because it's buried everywhere and it's only in the original PEP page, these are examples of the new statement:

# A type alias that includes a forward reference

I think GP's intention was to mention the farmers themselves, who would (presumably, I'm neither a farmer nor European) receive above >€3000 in egg-revenue per week/month/annum, and then go deposit that at the bank, use it for mortgage payments, or pay for farm equipment et al. in cash.
totally different set of criminals, also bank accounts are generally much, much harder to take over. The money is easy to track, and it can be reimbursed.
Agreed. Version resolution is the interesting problem.

Most package managers use a SAT solver to resolve dependencies. The Dart team has a detailed write up on their SAT-based approach which is worth a read [1]. For contrast, Russ Cox presents an algorithm that doesn't use a SAT solver (intended for Go) [2].

This one affects a huge proportion of modern software developers too, and has two close relatives where we wildly over reward those that fix things heroically at 3am while under appreciating those that prevented it breaking at all, or my favourite "what I do is hard, important and valuable, what you do is trivial, so why don't you just give it away?"

Making things that appear to work first time has been one of the defining repeated errors of my career.
I think your second sentence/paragraph points out exactly why this restriction is needed: the only people who would ever in their right mind transact in that much cash are very likely to be either avoiding taxation (a.k.a. stealing from the common taxpayer), or keeping money off the books to hide illegal activity.

The average person isn't affected by this type of government surveillance and potential overreach because the average person doesn't buy things that are priced at over 3,000 euros per transaction. They can easily hide all their daily transactions from the scrutiny of government and surveillance capitalism just fine.

This regulation only impacts the wealthiest people and/or the organized criminal.
Thanks! Checked, online.
If they want to pay rent or buy a car or any other thing of value, yes.

Also, it doesn't matter whether it's frequent or not. "Let's ban migrants from buying cars because they don't buy them frequently" is not exactly the most convincing argument.
