I think your post contradicts itself. It sounds like they "do inspections" every day of the year.

> Since the festival shooting Vegas hotels have a policy of entering every room every 24 hours

> so now they do inspections when BlackHat/DefCon is in town because they don't trust their own tracking systems

What's the difference between these two statements? It sounds to me like the only point is that they have a manual ledger to track inspections, which is probably for the best, given that any would-be domestic terrorist would surely know how to use Google and find this information too.
Any benchmarks against redis?
There's lots of cases where that doesn't really work, and can't logically work. An obvious example is:

drop index old;
create index new [..];

There's tons of examples like this where things can kind-of work with enough effort, but also not really – if the query takes 5 minutes without that index it's just going to timeout, so not that different from having broken code, and not much you can do about that too. You really want those two combined to be atomic.

And in cases of "create table new; drop table old" using the old table is often 1) a major hassle, and 2) often doesn't actually work all that well as it's not a tested path.

Either way, it seems MariaDB does support transactions for all of this if you disable "autocommit mode", judging from their docs? I haven't used MySQL/MariaDB in quite a few years, but I've never seen migrations for them done well without tons of hassle and it's a major reason I've typically recommended PostgreSQL. It's just eliminates an entire class of common headaches and errors.
If you can make it win-win for everyone involved, then sure, but there's no such thing as a free lunch.

Individuals have agency; they are not slaves of any "root cause". The individual decision of a person to burgle may have correlations to statistical characteristics of their situation, but unless we understand the base rate of that set of circumstances we will never be able to address it without restricting the agency of others in that cohort.

And the level of intrusiveness necessary to establish the cohort of individuals requires a degree of surveillance that is ripe for abuse and incompatible with personal liberty.

I'm with you. I use my Vision Pro several hours every single day but 95% of the time I have my macbook mirrored into it. At the very least I was hopeful VisionOS 2 would let me pull apps into my space without the desktop, but that was not to be.
I have, and I (mostly) agree with GP's point.

The utility of LLMs with code generation varies widely with the problem domain and the amount of experience the developer has.
Yeah, keep in mind at athletics competition, a "false start" is deemed to be anything within 100m of the actual firing gun - because that is deemed to be below the level of human perception, and therefore someone "bet" or "guessed".

So I can't imagine a human can take a conscious step to get a FIVE millisecond advantage over another.
The more effective mechanism for steering the conversation is to make the top-level comment you'd prefer to see.

You might also email mods about off-topic or HN-guidelines-violating comments at hn@ycombinator.com. Dang's adopted a practice of sweeping off-topicness into a buried thread which is quite effective.
The obvious question is "would these inspections have stopped Route 91?" I strongly suspect that would have had NO impact. The guest was known to them, was a high roller, known to get comps, and used the service elevator over several days to load the room with weapons hidden in cases. All for the purpose of attacking a large outdoor festival next to the hotel.

The other obvious question is, did the people who "cyberattack" them do so from _inside_ their own hotel? Is there some reason to think simple visual room inspections are going to help prevent their networks from being attacked?

None of these are logical responses to the stated problems. They're just ways to reduce privacy with a very thin corporate liability excuse tacked onto the end of it. I don't trust that they can people safe, and I don't trust their motivations in deploying these "techniques."

I'd rather sleep in the tunnels with the homeless at this point.
I suppose a lot could depend on form. Most people run in a manner where they push them selves up and slap back down. If you run so that from the hips up you stay at the same altitude, I expect it would use much less energy.
Comparison of terminal emulators such as WezTerm, iTerm2 and Kitty
I needed dual sim so I could separate work from private. Ordered a Canadian Samsung s20 because their dirt cheap that had 2g support. Reflashed it with American firmware and now I have no 2g/3g support but do have dual sim (turns out same hardware in the devices they just use rom to change featutes based on where in the world you are as the base chip it worked on supported all of them).

I use the esim for work. Works great transferred a real sim to it via online portal, cost me $120aud for whole year plan, unlimited calls and text.

Huh? The entire point the parent was making is that they do "know" which cell phones were connected during specific times.

Researchers identify body's 'quality control' regulator for protein folding
Thanks for the reply! That all makes sense, and I can totally relate to the "cobbling together several tools that weren't fully compatible" experience. There's enough complexity with having to support or integrate sensors/actuators with a variety of industrial networking protocols. Anything to simplify the software portion of the system would go a long way. Excited to dig into this a bit more, best of luck with ongoing development!
I'd make a distinction.

The concept being studied is bunk.

The methodology to show it's bunk is ... intellectually gratifying, IMO. Specifically, how does one "prove a negative", at least to the sense of prediction no better than random?
If it was a financial transaction between two people, then Apple couldn’t possibly take any cut of it.
For that you can just make the scripts 'gvim file'

If on MacOS and you are using the apple native build, 'open -a gVim file' opens each file in the same editor.

If you want to do that on X11 (even macos X11.app) or MS Windows:

https://vimhelp.org/remote.txt.html#remote.txt

Basically (or gvim, yu might want --remote-silent too):

vim --servername foo --remote-silent filename [ filename ... ]

The end of that doc explain you can use either Windows messages or OLE.

But the same doc explains how you can completely script vim from the command line:

Tell the remote server "foo" to write all files and exit:
vim --servername foo --remote-send '<C-\><C-N>:wqa<CR>'

^\^N is what you press on a keyboard to enter normal mode from every mode except ex mode without a beep.

:wqa means do the command Write All and Quit.

so with --remote-send you can send any sequence of key-strokes to act on buffers.

You probably want to read from https://vimhelp.org/intro.txt.html#notation to learn the fundamentals.

I'd avoid neovim initially until you learn enough to decided if you want it - pros and cons both ways.
I obviously saw that since it's linked in the very first message in the chain of messages I responded to.

pglite.dev/repl does not have the same level of visualizations as postgres.new.

What I 'want' is exactly what I described in my previous message, postgres.new but without the required LLM integration, the same sentiment others had in this thread.
Long overdue reforms. Godspeed to the government to push it through.
According to the DOJ lawsuit against Realpage[1]:

The lawsuit quoted one unnamed witness, a RealPage pricing advisor, saying that some pricing advisors told property management employees that they had to follow the software’s recommendations. A leasing manager at a RealPage client said, “I knew [RealPage’s prices] were way too high, but [RealPage] barely budged” when the manager asked to deviate from the suggested rent.

An update to the software tracked not only clients’ acceptance rate, but also the identity of the landlords’ staff members who had requested a deviation from RealPage’s price, the lawsuit said. Compensation for some property management personnel was even tied to compliance with the company’s recommendations, it said.

Something like Elixir's function composition operator (->) would go a long way toward smoothing that out, but they rejected that as well.

What a ride

Personally, I used them with great success traveling RTW. Being able to still use my home number (on rare occasions) while having a cheap local eSIM was great. Usually just for data (navigating) but sometimes having a local number was also useful. The apps generally sell overpriced eSIMs, unsurprisingly, but are very convenient. Don’t really have a reason for two sims in my home country though.

> There are physics books that do not give the easier to understand definition given above, but they give an equivalent, but more obscure, definition of a tensor, by giving the transformation rules for its contravariant components and for its covariant components at a change of the reference system.

The definition of a tensor as linear maps, while simple to understand, has no content that is useful for doing physics. To do any physics, or for that matter, any geometry with tensors, you need to define the notion of covariance and contravariance.

Besides, the starting with the latter notions allow you to define tensors more naturally. You start with trying to understand how geometric objects transform under coordinate transformations, and you slowly but surely end up with tensors.
It sounds normal when we're talking about things like "Lady's Night" where ladies get free entry or discounted menu items. That's a relatively common and normalized deal in my area.
GameBoy Memory Addresses and What They Mean
What makes you think I don't have or want kids?
Why does DEF CON have to happen in Vegas? I can understand staying after Caesars Palace abruptly terminated their contract, but in future years, is there any real glue that keeps people there? I mean supposedly this is one of the most paranoid groups of people congregating in one place. Wanting hotel room privacy should be something that should be factored into the venue-search in-general, right?

Are there any huge advantages to staying in Vegas? Why not another city, perhaps with negotiated privacy for rooms at choice hotels?
This gets brought up a lot in conversations about Apple.

In one sense, I agree with it. Patreon is a rent-seeking middleman who abuses network effects. 100%.

But the creators on Patreon who's income are going to be most affected by this don't care about which side of the debate is more likeable to you, and I'm kind of sick of pretending that policies that affect a huge swath of people (often people with limited options, virtually no power, and few backup resources) can be treated like popularity contests.

The video essayists, programmers, artists, authors, and indies doing weird, wonderful work supported through Patreon get their revenue squeezed even tighter, being forced to either bleed revenue or subscribers due to new fees, being forced to abandon revenue models and subscription models that Apple doesn't like.. and, I mean, honestly, "I hate both companies" just is not a valid or acceptable response to that situation.

The solution to rent-seeking middlemen is not to make more of them.

> Moisture barrier: it traps the humidity in places you potentially don't want to

So properly ventilate, which you want/need to do anyway.

Anything that is airtight can trap things, and you generally want to to be as airtight.

Unless you want to start getting into design details that are airtight but vapour open.

Yes, it does (at least per UFlorida researchers):

Every time I have had a leg-related running injury (knees, ankles, calfs, hip - you name it) the solution from the physio has always included doing squats.

Now if I feel a niggle coming somewhere I just do a bunch more squats throughout the day (whenever I remember really) and that usually solves it after a week or two. Nothing super strenuous - just like 10 to 15, perhaps 2 or 3 times a day

I have tried minimal shoes as well as super-spongy ones over the years, or trying to change heel strike Vs forefoot rtc and it seems it is only squats that make a difference!

Good luck.
I read almost exclusively on Kindle, and one of the downsides of an e-book library is that it's not really browsable by your friends and family when they come over. I've long envisioned a movie poster-sized touch screen that shows my library almost exactly like this, so people can touch it, scroll through my library, and interact with books (ie, animate it sliding out and displaying the cover + description). When it's not interacted with, it just looks like a painting on the wall.

I have zero idea how to pull this off, but I'd love to do it, and this visualization of the shelf is exactly what I had in mind!

Amazing job. I'm very impressed!
Does it sync them for offline listen? I can do that with Youtube videos in a browser.

They could have trivially added that to their website.
Sorry, even you overestimated. A lot of users think CPU is the case.
Exactly. Some people seem to have the opinion that a thing is good if it generally proves effective a capturing criminals. Others have the opinion that capturing criminals is only good if there's a very low risk of innocents being caught up in the process.

I'm in the latter group.

Interesting tangent to this is that Google has recently announced that they are shutting down their "Timeline" service in favor of having that information stored locally on the user device. I wonder if this is a "do no evil" reaction to geofence warrants -- if Google does not have the information they cannot give it to law enforcement. This has been Google's practice in other situation (GDPR) where retaining information inherently exposes Google's customers to law enforcement violations of their privacy via Google itself.
Not sure yet! Fingers crossed it'll be this week or next.

The problem is that you cannot bring it to 0%. It's impossible to have people not use cars in many parts of the world due to adverse weather, physical limitations, etc. there's already a large transition to EVs happening so the actual engine emissions are going down.

Other things like coal burning factories can be actually brought to 0. Same with electrifying homes and connecting them to renewable energy for 0 perceived change (if the grid supported it). That will also help making EVs actual net zero.

Lots of other opportunities that can drive people away from emissions without meaningfully asking them to change their lives or to completely rebuild civil infrastructure.
The gun crowd gets upset about this, too.[1]

Basically every noteworthy Fourth Amendment case works this way unfortunately.
Oh man, agreed. When I a teenager, my family moved to a house that had 3 acres of grass. At our previous house (1/2 acre), we just had a standard push mower, and that was fine. Now we had to buy a small tractor. I remember being tasked to mow those 3 acres when my dad deemed me old enough, but he would always scold me if I did it too quickly, because he thought it wasn't safe to run it at its top speed on our hilly yard, plus he believed the tractor cut poorly if you went to fast.

Overall it was just a huge waste of time and money for everyone involved. At least the tractor had a plow attachment that was useful for clearing the driveway of snow in the winter, so it wasn't a single-task purchase. Then again, if we had a smaller plot of land, the driveway would have been short enough to handle with shovels, so...

As an adult, now we have a house out in a mountainous area where there's snow on the ground for as long as 5 or 6 months out of the year. Grass doesn't really survive there, so most of the land is just dirt or whatever strange weeds/plants will grow on it on their own. Much easier to deal with.
I think they mean that cleaning services will passively do inspections, but past cons have marked their rooms as being already cleaned in their system. They do manual inspections during Defcon because they can't rely that cleaning services have gotten to their room.
LOL. There's no reason a lot of times. We have a major "joyriding" epidemic in my city and it's just idiot kids making tiktok videos for fun.

Glyphosate is perfectly safe, we just don’t have a scientifically literate population. The nasty stuff in Roundup are the surfactants.
This is/was a real loophole which I believe was created by low interest rates. The abundance of cheap money encourage lenders to tell their clients to make up approximate rental values. But with tightening credit, I can’t imagine this practice can last
In physics, the first and even now the most important application of multilinear functions, a.k.a. tensors, is in the properties of anisotropic solids.

A solid can be anisotropic, i.e. with properties that depend on the direction, either because it is crystalline or because there are certain external influences, like a force or an electric field or a magnetic field that are applied in a certain direction.

In (linear) anisotropic solids, a vector property that depends on another vector property is no longer collinear with the source, but it has another direction, so the output vector is a bilinear function of the input vector and of the crystal orientation, i.e. it is obtained by the multiplication with a matrix. This happens for various mechanical, optical, electric or magnetic properties.

When there are more complex effects, which connect properties from different domains, like piezoelectricity, which connects electric properties with mechanical properties, then the matrices that describe vector transformations, a.k.a. tensors of the second order, may depend on other such tensors of the second order, so the corresponding dependence is described by a tensor of the fourth order.

So the tensors really appear in physics as multilinear functions, which compute the answers to questions like "if I apply a voltage on the electrodes deposited on a crystal in this positions, which will be the direction and magnitude of the displacements of certain parts of the crystal". While in isotropic media you can have relationships between vectors that are described by scalars and relationships between scalars that are also described by scalars, the corresponding relationships for anisotropic media become much more complicated and the simple scalars are replaced everywhere by tensors of various orders.

What in an isotropic medium is a simple proportionality becomes a multilinear function in an anisotropic medium.

The distinction between vectors and dual vectors appears only when the coordinate system does not use orthogonal axes, which makes all computations much more complicated.

The anisotropic solids have become extremely important in modern technology. All the high-performance semiconductor devices are made with anisotropic semiconductor crystals.
Curious what the problem what the form factor is? I wear it several hours a day every day and have had no complaints.

(I will say I use the double-loop strap instead of the adjustable head-band you see in the ads all the time. The top loop seems to take enough weight off of your cheeks where it's comfortable enough for all-day wear)
Some of the things you list are probably illegal because it is challenging to obtain informed consent. Especially where the repercussions are irreversible so it is more about avoiding exploitation rather than imposing a standard of what is acceptable behavior.

> Also, I don't think sellers have to deal with chargebacks, although Apple might have their own version of a chargeback, but I am not sure.

They absolutely do, just through Apple, "Disputes".

Apple will refund the user the full purchase price (that's fun, $10 app, you get $7 after the Apple cut, and on refund, you have to refund $10, so you're actually out money).

And too many disputes will get your developer privileges restricted or revoked.
I agree. Just like NumPy's Einsum. "Multi-Array Flow" doesn't sound sexy and associating your project with a renowned physicist's name gives your project that "we solve big science problems" vibe by association. Very pretentious, very predictable, and very cringe.

> powerful imagery for a jury

Be careful: are you trying to predict legal results, or find truth? Those are (unfortunately) rather different questions. If you're looking for truth, you don't care about what makes "powerful imagery for a jury".

BTW, the "carbon fiber hull fatigue" theory is not GPs, it's the extremely obvious top candidate for the failure.

Anyway, there is still no evidence that using a gamepad had any concrete negative effect. Letting passengers drive? Yeah, that's a problem. But it would be at least as big a problem with industry standard controls, which wouldn't even have the faint advantage of familiarity.

Not entirely feasible in dense housing/cities, unless you want to be _that_ neighbor.
