> At any event, how is an attendee supposed to assess such a thing? It's not like you can DYOR.

That's why I think the cryptobro angle is relevant to the story, because assessing trust in the folks putting on a conference is the way for attendees to figure out if they're likely to be blinded by the lighting or face other issues. And the type of people the whole cryptocurrency and especially NFT scene attract seem at least in my opinion to be way more likely to put on a conference with hazardous lighting than more reputable organizers. Everything about that whole space gives off a Fyre Festival vibe, which seems like pretty fair warning about going to an actual event organized by cryptobros.
On my 2019 MBP, the thank-you frame transition is choppy in Firefox and very choppy in Safari. In my brief attempt to use the browsers' performance profilers, it looks like 40ms per paint in Firefox and 300ms per paint in Safari. Chrome is less than 2ms per paint and only drops about 20% of rendered frames.

Can anyone with more browser perf debugging experience explain why this animation is so janky, especially on non-Chrome browsers?

> "The US economy's safety net is bigger than anyone thought"

Don't those express the same underlying truth? In an economic situation without safety net backstops, citizens have to save in order to survive contractions. In modern america, they don't need to as much. So they don't.

FWIW this is a real problem with "savings" as a metric. It's defined based on "disposable income", therefore fails to track things that probably "should" be savings but are accounted for separatly. Your 401k match or HSA deduction is not "savings", for example, even though clearly they are, and clearly they represent the kinds of savings that would have shown up in a bank account (and thus have been technically "savings") in the 60's.

Hot take: The advantages of WPA3 makes it irrelevant to most consumers and if RasPi saved a dollar by not including it then I am 100% ok with their decision.

WEP was garbage because it could be cracked in minutes on a laptop. WPA3 is mostly a WPA2 revision that mitigates very expensive attacks.
Moderation note: the actual title of this article is "Updates to the H2O.ai db-benchmark!".

It's not about duckdb's performance improvements per se, it's about the change to the aws instance type they're using to get fairer benchmark results by avoiding block storage and preventing noisy neighbors.
The dumped images are not portable, right? I thought I read they can only reliably be run by the exact same build of SBCL.
I have always seen Crypto as a red flag. Initially, there was just a suspicion, but then I ended up meeting with some Crypto people in real life, and corresponding with recruiters in the Crypto space. And if I was on the hiring department, Crypto on a resume would get a hard-pass from me. It filters out people with a mentality that I do not like to be around.
maybe try releasing some first goes and get feedback so you can modify later ones? rather than release all at once?

We almost exclusively use VRBO in the US. We’ve rented places in San Diego every year, and many years places around Arizona for the past 7 or 8 years.

In general, we’ve found VRBO cheaper than Airbnb. In fact we only used them for the first time this year because we went to another country and Airbnb seemed like the best option. Airbnb’s chat interface seemed better than anything VRBO offers, but other than that the experience wasn’t significantly different.

We’ve only had one issue that I can recall. An owner ghosted us on our way to San Francisco and we had to scramble to find a place on our way there (we had a few days as we visited Sequoia and Yosemite). Not having the place we expected in the city meant we had to drive into town to do touristy things when we expected to have our car in a secure garage. Of course our car then got broken into, which is exactly why we wanted a place with secure parking in walking distance to the touristy stuff.
I've only played a a handful of text heavy fan-translated games and while I'm always grateful for the chance to experience media I couldn't otherwise at pretty much any level, I've never been very impressed with the results. Even without access to the original text you can often find sections of dialog are clearly just rewritten with whatever the translator thought was hilarious, 4kids-tier localization, and errors that could have been caught by letting even one person fluent in the language it was translated to/from read it over.

It's hard to complain about something that takes a ton of work and is given freely, but I can't help but notice that fan-subs of TV/film seem to be of much better quality. It may be that text heavy games are so much more time consuming, and game translations often seem to be solo-projects (which is damn impressive, even though the end result seems to suffer for it). I haven't gotten into fan-subbed novels, but I wonder if they tend to have the same problems.
> Or better yet, can we just push for peace talks so they can stay home?

"Stay home" as in "stay in a country occupied by an enemy country who wants to get rid of you"?

Sure. That sounds like a brilliant solution.
Without the intention of starting a flame war, all the issues I've read so far in this thread seem to be US bound.

I've booked AirBnB's in 5 different countries (Spain mostly, but also Germany, Poland, Thailand and Argentina).

Thailand was 5 years ago, thought, so your mileage might vary nowadays.

Biggest issue we ever had - family trip, mind you - was a booking in Granada last year that was very obviously double booked (We got to it and there were suitcases and clothes everywhere).

One phone call later we were upgraded to a a better apartment in the same building, and the host apologized profusely.

We (GF and I) are AirBnB host ourselves in Buenos Aires, and we strive to provide the best service possible.

Competition has been fierce here as well for the past 12 months or so (Even thought after a little market research I managed to maximize our returns).

Here if you don't provide a good service you're gone. There are no second chances.

Regarding the whole AirBnB matter I think also one of their biggest problems right now is that booking.com is giving them a run for their money.

oof, yeah those were powerful UV-C disinfecting bulbs. I've got half a dozen Elektralite eyeBall UV fixtures that I use for parties in conjunction with other lights, which are 18x3w 385nm UV LEDs per fixture. I don't stare directly into them as they're pretty intense, but they're still firmly in UV-A territory and don't hurt your eyes. They do light up anything fluorescent super bright though!

- UVB (280-315 nanometers)
- UVC (180-280 nanometers)
Not necessarily. There are a lot of things that folks look for when buying hosting or a support contract. For example, trust and confidence. I trust the primary maintainer of a open source project to be able to support me better than some one else maintaining a proprietary fork. In fact, the fork being proprietary means I am not going to use it when there is an open source alternative. However, I also distrust a project that is AGPL/GPL with a CLA to a corporation. If there were no good alternatives, I would probably choose the open source option to proprietary one... but I would try to find some one else to support it. Prior to this change, I would have defaulted to using Element/Synapse software, and paying Element corp for any services I require. After this change, I am looking for alternatives not only to Element corp, but to Element/Synapse the software. Even if I continue to use Element/Synapse, I am unlikely to pay Element corp for support services. I will look for an alternative.

How much extra money would you need to leave your job and go to another one, with similar culture/benefits/other considerations? Most people wouldn't go for 1%. Many people wouldn't go for 15%. You have to take into consideration things such as the risk of moving to an unknown situation, the intangible benefit of your work place reputation where you currently are, the value of how your experience will look on your resume, etc. If given the choice between two candidates, the one that I suspect will leave for a 1% raise and the one that will need 15%, I'll hire the 15%.

Then there's the fact that some people have a perception that those in crypto/startups value promises of future money very highly. You wouldn't hire someone that you think will leave for a bit of equity the next time a hype wave hits tech.
The footage ive seen had a few green lasers scanning. UV causes cornia damage, but not the headaches. IR lasers cause headaches, strange pains that the body doesnt understand and get interpreted as headaches.

If this was only UV, most anyone wearing glasses should have been protected as most modern glasses have substantial UV protection. IR protection is more rare in eyewear, although rather common in automotive glass.
Hey. Would really love to know the results of your benchmark testing.
> What you probably meant to say is "There seems to be more lawlessness in FL than usual" which I would definitely agree with you.

This itself is interesting enough.

I've been on the inside of a few risk management systems, with hundreds of signals feeding into a scoring product.

Invariably, and justifiably from the data, there is a "Florida rule", which affects the user's final risk score by a few percent.

This is mostly old-school deterministic stuff with manual weighting, tweaked over years of time by people far away from (and with no particular opinions about) Florida. The newer mystery box AI stuff, trained on many years of data, also shows the same bias!

I'm sure there's a story in this data.
It sounds more like a path prediction problem than one of not seeing them at all. I'm guessing they expected it to still handle them as well as a human driver would, even if it relied on the adult pedestrian logic.

I have doubts as to this being the right choice, but it seems less unreasonable than what I thought from the title.

> I don’t think taking the banks answer to any of those questions at face value is responsible citizenship

I agree but I wanted to push back on the idea that this was somehow due to automated decisions being made. That isn't really the problem here. The same exact thing would happen if the government mandated "no computers are allowed to be involved". The problem is opaque decision making, no clear escalation path, a disregard for the short term pains, and so on.

The fundamental problem isn't how the decision gets made. Even if a human made the decision you'd have the same issues of the front line consumer support saying "well the other department made their decision, I don't know why and I don't have the authority to change it and they don't accept calls".

By talking about automated decisions, the OP is making the conversation about the wrong problem.
> They're not the best we've had, as a measurable fact or certainly a verifiable/pollable mass opinion.

I don't necessarily disagree, but "mass opinion" being lower could be due to standards changing. What exactly is your "measure" here for a "measurable fact"?
Would really love to know the results of your benchmark testing.
I see your point, and you honestly have one. However, nothing in this world works solely based on logic.

How many times have we heard xyz was the more optimal choice but abc won out. It’s because trust and perception are the other equally important dimensions.

That said, North America isn’t the only market for crypto. There are many thriving economies in the world with a broken currency. Argentina, to name one, is constantly weighing down by hyperinflation but the sheer grit and talent of locals is keeping the country relevant. Argentinians are always looking for ways to save their earnings without losing to inflation.

All that to say, there are still “real” problems waiting to be solved for which crypto can be a solution. In the west though, if it ain’t broke - you know the rest.
Italians weren't "white" when they first came to the US, either.
Well, widespread spraying with DDT did essentially create a permanent reservoir of DDT-resistant mosquitoes, which also made them resistant to pyrethroids. Bit of a problem. Fun fact - DDT makes spider mites extra fertile.

I do agree however that the eradication efforts of both caused significantly more good than harm, no question.
I assumed these aren't copyrightable, based on the lack of creative work I discern in the recordings. Should've clarified that in my question.

Some of these people don't have any homes anymore, literally. Some places have been pretty so extensively damaged that you're not able to live there anymore.

We need both, help for refugees that have nowhere else to go, and more dialog to end the conflict.

This applies to all conflicts.

This is hilarious. Reminds me of the "your graphic here" so called "custom" t-shirts on amazon that will be delivered with the words "your graphic here" printed on them, and somehow have 5 stars
Another “favorite” of mine is where they list nice looking t-shirts and bedsheets on Amazon, but when you look at the remaining pictures you will see that you are not getting the fancy item. Instead you are getting a plain white item with a picture of the fancy version printed on it.

For example, a white T-shirt with a picture of another T-shirt printed on its chest. Or a white bedsheet with a picture of a fancy bedsheet printed on it.
The fact that there hasn't been one after years of driving is a pretty good sign no?

> If you want a kitchen, Airbnb is often the only option.

I’m not sure about that.

Large hotel chains will offer predictable apartment-style lodging (I.e. Residence Inn) if you cough up whole-home AirBnB money. I’m looking at one right now in off-season that goes for about 390CAD per night in Downtown Halifax.

University residences also offer suite-style lodging during the summer, and cater to cost-sensitive individuals.

This was a thing for ages before AirBnB went mainstream, who are now trying to convince the populace that it’s their way or the highway.
"Raspberry PIs stated goal is to produce affordable computers."

They lived up to that goal 10 years ago.

But there are "stated goals" and "actions", and actions speak the truth when they're in conflict with stated goals.

The recent (lack of) availability to anyone except commercial/industrial buyers. The Pi Foundation hasn't demonstrated any success getting affordable computers into the hands of anyone except high volume commercial buyers in the last few years. They're riding on their "hobbyist" reputation and taking advantage of everything hobbyists (and educators and open sourer developers) have done for their product, while turning their backs on all those people.

Why would any open source dev bother fixing their Wi-Fi drivers for them, when they won't even sell you their board to test on reliably?
In the "Save as..." pop-up, you can set the file type to "Optimized SVG" (among other SVG output types, if I remember correctly). Picking optimized SVG pops up another dialog on save that can be used to configure the optimization passes.

I regularly use this to export small SVGs for the web.

Are people still talking about BAYC? Wow. I thought that was over.

In case you weren't aware, BAYC is full of Nazi symbolism [1]. Now there are two groups who use Nazi symbols:

1. Actual Nazis; and

2. Suburban Ohio 14 year olds and NEETs who are 4chan edgelords and groypers.

I suspect the Nazi influence on BAYC came from the second group.

NFTs are a scam to sell crypto, which is also a scam. NFTs are like Inception-level "we must go deeper" scams. Can we move on yet?

This symbolism is pervasive and you start to see it everywhere. Some examples are:

- comments of "well well well" (left on videos fitting an alleged racial stereotype by white supremacists);

- use of three nested parentheses (eg "(((Julie)))", you'll see it all over Twitter);

- the sonnenrad (or "Black Sun") [2];

- the totenkopf [3];

- usernames or references to the numbers 88 or 1488;

- usernames or references to the numbers 1350 or 1352. This isn't a Nazi reference but it's common among white supremacists.

YIMBY politics is where it's at for me too. My city has a housing crisis. My best friend here got forced out by the prices.

It's different from software... so slow to get things done. But also really rewarding to see housing get built and policies allowing different, more affordable kinds of housing to be built. We just re-legalized SRO's here!
> That's why I think the cryptobro angle is relevant to the story

That's an interesting perspective, and reminds me a bit of the "libertarian paradise" at the end of http://bitsim.beepboopbitcoin.com/ . But the fact that it's framed more as a dunk than as genuine sympathy for those affected reminds me of other anti-crypto reporting like "Line Go Up" ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YQ_xWvX1n9g ). Which makes it really hard to recommend it as a way to break people out.

Given a choice between reporting which mocks crypto victims and reporting which might actually help get people away from the rigged casino, I'd prefer to see articles aiming for the latter.
It appears to not be open source software.

AGI is what they’ll use to motivate investment in their company. A never reaching goal that promises to deliver growth at some point in the next two decades. That will provide funding to make existing models useful to more than just an over enthusiastic market. If they fail no problem, they “never really meant to make chatgpt work because their goal has always been agi”.
I've been trying to figure out if there are any hw out there that allows good wifi6/hostap support under Linux, to run an access point - the nearest I've come is this[1] list. But I'm still unsure if it is feasible to build an access point on top of an Intel/AMD minipc with contemporary hw?

I'd be happy to run on arm or riscv if I can get high throughput and can expect Linux kernel support for a decade or so.

It isn't just the tech illuminati who associate Bitcoin with scams. Everyone in our neighborhood now knows that it's a regular occurrence for older people to get emergency calls from the "gas company" and rush to the corner store's Bitcoin kiosk so they can pay and not get their gas shut off.They then realize it was a scam and post on Nextdoor, Facebook, etc. While I know that cryptocurrency is not a scam, and while I know that such scams pre-exist Bitcoin, that is absolutely the perception that it's getting in our community amongst non-tech people.

Your edit, BTW, is interesting. You tar all the responses with the same brush, "missed the point", "lack all imagination", and then accuse them of having a condescending tone? Do you have a sense there might be a two way street? While you do have a point, there's a lot of reasons why human dishonesty, e.g. scamming, prevents us from having a great many nice things that we could otherwise have.

"Our cars could see the kids; they just chose to run into them anyways" is still pretty unreasonable. Relying on tests for one scenario and assuming it works for another is a pretty good way to...well, make cars that hit people, I guess.
