Small businesses put in sweat equity to handle cash payments, like the owner going to the bank to make a deposit. If they had to pay an hourly employee to do that, it might even out with credit card processing fees. Also small businesses can fudge numbers with cash payments in a way that’s a lot harder to do when some other company keeps a record of all of your cc transactions.

That's the exact opposite of what the link you included says.

From https://www.grammarphobia.com/blog/2012/12/beyond-the-pale.h...

As for the relationship between the two expressions, the OED has this to say:

“The theory that the origin of the phrase [‘beyond the pale’] relates to any of several specific regions, such as the area of Ireland formerly called the Pale … or the Pale of Settlement in Russia … is not supported by the early historical evidence and is likely to be a later rationalization.”

Yeah I really don't get it. If you need to hire people, hire them. If you don't, why are you wasting your time and theirs by interviewing them endlessly?

I get that a business may always want to be open to hiring an exceptional person if one becomes available, but that's very often based on an internal recommendation/reference not a response to a job posting. Execptional people generally don't apply to posted jobs, they work their network.
Plenty of places in the world accept currencies besides the local ones because they are more stable or just worth more in general. Depending on the business, they might handle currency the same way too.
They say that Rust is not enough and dismiss it quickly:

> V8 vulnerabilities are rarely "classic" memory corruption bugs (use-after-frees, out-of-bounds accesses, etc.) but instead subtle logic issues which can in turn be exploited to corrupt memory. As such, existing memory safety solutions are, for the most part, not applicable to V8. In particular, neither switching to a memory safe language, such as Rust, nor using current or future hardware memory safety features, such as memory tagging, can help with the security challenges faced by V8 today.

But looking at the awesome list they provided:

That analysis is from the perspective of the scammer. The scammer has limited time to write to each victim once the responses come back from the initial mass-email, so the scammer is better off if only the most gullible people reply. From the perspective of the person being attacked, the counterintuitive result based on selection bias goes away, and a more convincing scheme is more of a risk to you personally. (The assumption that scammers have limited time to write to each victim may itself become less true because of LLMs.)

When I sold on eBay and they allowed cash/bank draft payments, I accepted local currency, but also major currencies like US$ (in cash or bank draft because I had a US$ account too) and other major currencies in cash (like EUR and GBP) because they were cheaper to convert with when travelling (or I could use directly). Without a spread.

Used the EUR in Cuba when a buyer mailed me cash.
Like most things, it’s probably somewhere in between. There’s a reason stages exist where a small percentage output, while the rest input. Look at amphitheaters for an example.

The problem isn’t the human nature, it’s the ease of accessibility to the quick superficial info. You can feel like an expert for a few minutes, then forget a topic and never use it.

Before computing existed, boredom was a driver for creative pursuits. Now boredom is an anxiety sink because we lose the urge to “play” creatively. The issues start with children and continue into adulthood. Boredom is good, it squeezes new ideas out with pressure. As it stands now, the pressure is constantly pushing ideas back in, no internal thought stands a chance.

There are mathematicians opposed to hearing new theories before they contemplate them personally, so as not to be influenced. It’s easy to think in terms of some else’s structure, and I believe that society is moving there on the whole.

These internet behemoths love the profits the eyeballs bring, but long term I envision a far less creative populace.

Thanks for the work on BrowserBox, I’m going to give it a run.

Type confusion is also a very common attack against JS runtimes and V8 specifically. Of course, it's not trivial to build a high-performance JS runtime without playing around with pointer types pretty liberally, so I can understand saying "Rust won't fix this" in regards to those attacks.

But those attacks would basically not be possible against a runtime built on top of Java or C#.

Show HN: I wrote a specialized SLF4J back end, for JSON logs to stdout
Hi!

It has been over a year now that I have been slowly but surely investing in this project and I think it has reached a point where it can be production ready now.

Penna is a specialized SLF4J backend that aims to target a specific use-case, for a specific deployment type: it writes JSON logs to stdout, to address a common use case for apps deployed in kubernetes, docker or similar, where those logs are captured by agents and shipped to the likes of Loki or Elastic Stack.

Penna is meant to be easy setup (essentially works without any necessary configuration) and allows for yaml-based configs for fine tuning, which can be updated while the app is live without a restart.

Those scenarios are based on my observations over a few places I worked with, so I'd like to hear from you how do you feel about the problem it tries to solve and, if you try the project, your overall impressions.

The source code is here[0] if you want to have a look at it.

Thanks in advance!

Interesting stuff! Would be nice to see gaussian splatting applied towards VR (left-right) viewing. Our phone cameras have become extremely powerful, but still capturing 2D images. It would be nice to see conventional phones come with two or more lenses, a few inches apart, capture video, and then use that to create a gaussian splatted VR-capable video.

Absolutely. The navigation behaviors will have to be in functions though. And from an application code developer's perspective, the connection between these objects and functions may not be obvious. If only there were some way to associate behavior with state.
so you would approve of advertising then, because a notification is an advert (albeit for said topic). But then who would decide which topic for which product/services?

The bottom line is that advertising comes about from a need - that need will emerge again, even if you tried to make it inefficient to fulfil that need.

It's because they go to enterprises and sell it to them directly with a different license.

They open weight it so that any enterprise can download it and try it out in their various use cases first.

It's a good strategy.

This technology is being used by Israel in the United States to track and terrorize United States citizens, and is likely deployed worldwide.

I am living proof, a US citizen tracked and terrorized at all times by this technology and these people because I am actively blacklisted by them.

If you think you have to be a Hamas terrorist in Israel to be listed, tracked, terrorized, manipulated, used, and abused, economically, psychologically, socially et al, in total - to be actively denied a life and all hope, you are mistaken.

Any anti-zionist anywhere in the world is fair game.

I am living proof with no life and no hope of one because of this technology and the people who use it against anyone, including American citizens, they choose in complete absence of due process.

Practically any Android phone from a reputable vendor. The default apps might share more data than you might like, but it does give you actual control to turn that off. You don't have to send your location to anybody any time an app requests it like iPhones send your location to Apple. You don't have to tell anyone you installed an app like iPhones tell Apple.
It's hard to believe that more and more compiler writers realise that language lawyering alone isn't going to improve anything but runtime on an unchanging set of microbenchmarks. I still remember the bad old GCC 4.x error messages and those defending them explaining why they should stay like this despite a single template error easily filling ten unintelligible screen pages.

When clang was new users switched to it just for the error messages and promises not to fuck them over too hard e.g. start exploiting that signed integer overflows are "ackchyually undefined". Which is of course correct, but not what users complained about. They complained that what they considered a bugfix release broke code because the defaults changed and -fwrapv didn't even catch all the cases that used to compile to what the user needed/expected.

According to DDG's chat itself:

Claude says: DuckDuckGo's goal with their privacy-focused chatbot service is to demonstrate that conversational AI can be developed and delivered in a way that protects users' privacy and anonymity. Rather than monetizing user data, they aim to support the service through other means such as search advertising on their main search engine site.

GPT says: DuckDuckGo's business model for its new Chat AI is focused on privacy and does not involve tracking or storing any personal information about users. DuckDuckGo does not record any chats, and all user chats are completely anonymous. Additionally, DuckDuckGo has implemented measures to obfuscate any metadata that could potentially identify users, ensuring a high level of privacy and anonymity for all interactions with the Chat AI.

Edit to say: I'm pleased this alternative exists. Cynicism regarding data security and revenue is always warranted, of course.

So they invented nothing, and put a nice package around existing tech?

PR more than anything. Tesla growth story is pretty much over, many people turned off the brand for a multitude of reasons (Musk, terrible service, price, lack of innovation, more EV competition). So if anything a good opportunity for Tesla to win some PR, potentially expand partnership, sell more cars.

Now they get more bad news "rental company dumps Tesla because of XYZ", the used market took a big hit as well pissing off existing owners, and I feel like this pushes newer buyers even more away.
I saw that too but noticed that the claim didn't have a reference. That is what brought me to the NRO PDF, which ties the designation KH of the satellites to the Talent Keyhole security designation on page 15 [0]. One of the confusing parts is that the early Corona didn't have a KH designation initially because the Keyhole compartment wasn't created until 1960 [1]. Maybe the Keyhole compartment's name came from the analogy?

Society does move backwards.

First we discover, then we research, then we implement, then we assess the implementation.

Sometimes the assessment shows us that the implementation was incorrect. Sometimes the assessment shows us that the original discovery or research was incorrect. Sometimes the assessment shows us unintended consequences for our actions and implementations.

Ever see a city that closes down roadways to vehicular traffic, so that bicycles and foot traffic are more prevalent there?

That's moving backwards.

Open models == free == no customers. For open foundational models, yours sounds like a demand that someone else invests millions in training a foundation model of your liking, but you're not motivated enough to fine-tune your copy of the model for hundreds or thousand of dollars?

If you're not paying for the "censored" proprietary models, you are not a customer either. If you are a paying customer of "censored" models, and would like them to change, remember businesses have the right to choose who they want as customers - and they can decide they don't want the "uncensored" market segment.
