so how much of a factor is it that safety guardrails may be keeping the current models from achieving higher scores in whatever red teaming benchmarks exist?
Would you integrate with existing POS systems or is this a new one? If a new one do you integrate with some existing hardware for card scans?
I saw the POS systems often have developer/partner programs but at this late stage are they granting those partnerships or is this a gatekeeping system?
Do you have to sell the customer on migrating away from their existing system? How do you convince a massage parlor to migrate from Square? A sushi restaurant away from Toast?
"Would you integrate with existing POS systems or is this a new one?"
Depends. The goal is to streamline workflow. A lot of the friction happens when recording transactions. How do you reduce that?
3 years ago, integrating with existing systems might be the smart move, but now with AI, you can build and maintain a POS from scratch faster than an integration.
"If a new one do you integrate with some existing hardware for card scans?"
Yeah, sell it with the hardware, keep friction down. They cost as much as a phone.
Again, depends on the norm. I find in developing countries, it's typical to have the whole thing as one Android app on a card accepting device. There's cool stuff you can do with the receipt printers. If someone orders a latte with an extra shot and a croissant, you can print out a receipt and little paper things to give to the barista and the croissant guy.
"Do you have to sell the customer on migrating away from their existing system?"
Often yes. Most can export data, and you can write scripts to import them.
You customize your product to their workflow. Like some people operate with wet hands. Salons like to track how much shampoo is used to flag theft. Education systems may track credit and attach videos of classes.
"Price?"
Highly variable per state, sector, etc, but OP's requirement of $49/month should be fair.
The unfortunate fact of the matter is that religious vocations in the Catholic Church are way more rare than they used to be. The church sometimes struggles to have enough priests to meet the needs of the parishes, let alone having enough monks to keep up all the monasteries.
Since there aren't enough monks, the church would have to pay people to come in and maintain the place - but they can't really afford that. So, either they let these beautiful places crumble and decay, or they sell them to someone who will hopefully be able to take care of it. Between the two, the latter seems like the least bad option to me. I certainly wish that these places could stay as part of the church and not be some billionaire's home, but I would rather they be a billionaire's home than go to ruin.
Yes! I was so excited he had that phone in the movie.
They even include an owner in-joke, which means someone in the production must have owned one of these phones. Everyone I lent the phone to would pick it up the "wrong" way -- they would put the external screen to their face, like every other phone. But the mic and speaker were on the back. I had to quickly find the scene in the movie here:
> If you go that route, at least change the password to some random string to lock yourself out.
I do that once in a while when I find myself wasting too much time participating here. It increases the friction quite a bit, but eventually I cave and recover the password.
If you really want to be serious about it, have to change the email address first, then toss the keys to that.
> Cults are social groups which have unusual, and often extreme, religious, spiritual, or philosophical beliefs and rituals.
HN is definitely a social group with unusual and often extreme philosophical beliefs that often aren't mainstream. (And that's why I keep coming back!)
