I was walking through resortsworld when a security guard started walking next to us. After about 50 feet, he demanded our ID, informed us we were on private property, and threatened to have us arrested for trespassing, all in the same sentence. The issue was that my colleague was one of the amateur radio VE for the ham radio village and happened to have his handheld with him. The guard was aggressive, entitled, and arrogant.

Yesterday, I poked another friend to see where they were at the conference. They were not at the conference. They were stuck at resorts world three hours after the conference had started. Their conference badges had been confiscated by security. The security team had tried to force them to throw them in the garbage, and for a while it appeared that security had thrown them away after they had confiscated them. It’s literally just a fancy gameboy!

This isn’t a safety issue, it’s deliberate, malicious abuse by a vendor who knowingly sold a discounted room block to defcon conference attendees and then, through persistent and abusive behavior, tried to force those customers to leave once they checked in. The issue was mentioned early in closing ceremonies as something that will be addressed with the vendor once all conference attendees have been checked out of the hotels. This wasn’t random room check for caches of weapons. It was not a safety search. It was luggage contents searches for the lulz, seemingly intended as harassment. Either they didn’t want us there in the first place, or they wanted the revenue for the rooms forfeited. This was not behavior in good faith and the specific acts that I witnessed personally and others whom I trust communicated to me that they had experienced directly, could only be intended as harassment or profoundly extreme incompetence.

For 20 years, I’ve stayed almost exclusively at Hilton properties when I travel, with the exception of Vegas for HSC. I’m almost certain to switch to another company after this, unless they issue a really, really, excellent apology.

Quit your BS excuses about how this was a legitimate safety issue. This was almost entirely limited to one hotel. Somehow another 10+ major hotels, including Caesars who non-renewed the conference contract, managed to not do any of this.

Edited for spleling.
I won't run my primary as an eSIM as it's just way too much aggro to move it between phones if needed, and you're well and truly stuck if you need to reprovision but don't have a Wifi connection.

We've just switched mobile providers at work, and the eSIMs were a monumental headache. A lot of it was user error, but ultimately it's hard to cock-up taking a physical SIM out and putting a new one in.

As a secondary they're great. I had awful speeds on Lebara in Prague on my main SIM, so grabbed a 3-day one off Nomad just for data.
Ha. What a fantastic piece of hack. Absolutely brilliant. Love it.
Is this going to mess up LORA at 915 MHz? Because a lot of people I know will be upset.
> After the Boston Marathon bombing, they searched a 20-block area for the suspect (and found him). Was that legal?

Uh, why wouldn't a cop be allowed to walk/drive/fly-over public roadways in a 20-block area and look from public land in any direction?

Also do note, they knew specifically who they were looking for and had location data from their cellphones [1]. Not a judge, but if I was and somebody wanted a search warrant to find a person at a location and their evidence was the dude's cellphone is there, I'd grant it.

I mean I might be "lying"... or I might be confusing him with the Gnome Terminal developers, with respect to that one specific tiny quote about "not liking settings".

(FWIW, the setting in question with respect to make menuconfig is "use bold as bright", where the kitty developer is on a vendetta to refuse the historical precedent. He is very adamant that he knows better than most everyone else on this point.)

Either way, I have never claimed to have talked to the kitty developer: I -- as well as multiple others on this thread -- are saying we've read how he handles arguing about terminals, and we don't like it.

Regardless, I do happen to be curled into a ball, and I do happen to look like I am crying... but it is merely because I am sick: I use xterm and I am very happy with the software and like the author.

"we put the AI in AIgolia"
I didn't build a game but I was incredibly excited to see if neural networks could work in financial markets, so built a few systems to trade using price data.

Spoiler alert: they absolutely do not work in their vanilla form (every article that says they do is wrong). But it was a good learning experience.
I don't think it's up for debate either, but it doesn't change that a lot of people I've interacted with, online, at work and even at conferences don't like talking about the... differences in monetizing on the two major phone platforms.
In this case, then, you feel that the right policy would be to deny them accommodation outright rather than accommodating them on the condition that you’ll glance in the room once a day?
>It won't ever happen

People said the same thing about Roe vs. Wade being repealed.

Never say never.
Ah yeah. I definitely was not aware that's how it worked. I was thinking user-initiated purchases, not purchase-on-demand.
Gotta admire the craziness of sticking with a language and apparently even building a community of fans even after such an insanely panned debut. I wonder if this will be the No Man's Sky of languages. Does it actually work yet?
I want to clarify for anyone finding this post a week or so later that our goal with this mini app was to collect data and adjust our search rather than eventually publish something like "Foo is preferred N% of the time relative to bar". It's not a robust poll or something we meant to be treated as one.
I think it's going to change a lot in coming years, but it's early days.

I feel like the writing has been on the wall for Intel's downward trajectory and AMD's substantial improvements for a few years now, but I think a lot of trust and brand loyalty has papered over the signs for Intel enthusiasts.

On a hardware news site covering the recent news, I saw for the first time in Intel buyers... shock. Incredulity. Disappointment. It's the first time I've seen self-admitting Intel fans come out in numbers questioning their beliefs and perceptions.

I think in the next 4-year cycle as home PC builds turn over and Intel buyers are coming back to market, there's going to be a large influx of AMD converts. The Intel disaster lately will have turned erosion into an exodus. Maybe not a monumental one. But the AMD numbers are going to grow seriously over the next half decade.
Everyone talked to me and i reported to nobody. DC made only two requests total (color of frame around screen, auto-boot to game instead of menu). EE made no requests but gave me info on hardware as i needed it to write the SW.
"NextNav’s Petition for Rulemaking. NextNav asks that the Commission reconfigure the Lower 900 MHz Band by creating a 5-megahertz uplink in the 902-907 MHz band paired with a 10-megahertz downlink in the 918-928 MHz band, shifting all the remaining non-M-LMS licensees to the 907-918 MHz portion of the band. Petition at 28–30."

This suggests they'd leave 915 alone?
Were you there 24/7? In DC they barged in (well, knocked and then went away when I answered before they could get in) around 4 PM.
start with weekly and work forward. It varies for me too. depending on how cluttered your house gets you may get by with a different routine.
Yes. And this is a terribly uninformative article which says nothing interesting about any of that.
Firstly, sprawl is the result only if it is around a central core(s) to which many people need to travel on a frequent basis. If few people need to travel to those cores regularly then you don't get sprawl, but rather more in-fill nodes along pre-existing highways.

Secondly, those things you mention are true -- all else being equal. But everything else isn't equal. Eliminating thirty miles of driving a day can make up for a lot of extra heating costs. Houses can cheaply avoid major cooling costs like urban heat island effects, and lack of shade suffered by apartment buildings. Economies of scale in shipping is a thing, but past a tractor-trailer a day they diminish rapidly.

So it isn't as clear that, with the way people actually live in cities today, that the systematic carbon costs, or even financial costs, favours cities the way it might have fifty or eighty years ago.
I agree that list comprehensions aren't any easier to read. A proper streaming interface on the other hand lets you easily follow how the data is transformed:

foo
.stream()
.filter(x -> x.contains("banned"))
.collect(Collectors.toList());

As an aside, Go conflating lists and views irks me, in part due to what weird semantics it gives to append (e.g. if you have two disjunct slices and append an element to one slice, that might modify the other slice).
over time your items will develop a home.
Can we get an option to search for users/usernames? Or even better, searching for users based on their karma? ;-)

It supposedly is a policy for major chains. Hilton in DC did it to me and claimed the whole chain does it.
> One at a time.

That would be a choice, not a requirement. It's literally a flag. You can do whatever tf you want with it. It would be trivial to have "V1 full app unlock" feature be the same as "V2 full app unlock" feature.
that too. pickup and deposit are in the same complexity
> As far as I can tell, the firmware was produced as part of the agreement between DEFCON and Entropic

Nope, DC knew that i was writing firmware and i am not a part of entropic, nor report to them. From the very start of this project they knew this. The first email at the start of the project stated this.
Unlikely unless the Republican Party starts winning the popular vote once in a while. Ronald Reagan was the last Republican president to win the popular vote.
Since the beginning of computer technology, "array" is the term that has been used for any multi-dimensional array, with "vectors" and "matrices" being special kinds of arrays. An exception was COBOL, which had a completely different terminology in comparison with the other programming languages of that time. Among the long list of differences between COBOL and the rest were e.g. "class" instead of "type" and "table" instead of "array". Some of the COBOL terminology has been inherited by languages like SQL or Simula 67 (hence the use of "class" in OOP languages).

A "tensor", as used in mathematics in physics is not any array, but it is a special kind of array, which is associated with a certain coordinate system and which is transformed by special rules whenever the coordinate system is changed.

The "tensor" in TensorFlow is a fancy name for what should be called just "array". When an array is bidimensional, "matrix" is an appropriate name for it.
I don't think you're disagreeing with me so much as being a different person with different tastes.
Global peak CO2 is expected in 2025, not 2030. It's not enough, but it is progress.
I don't think this stops it. The NPVIC seems to have accounted for this.

It is discussed here: https://www.nationalpopularvote.com/bill-text

"Popular votes can, however, only be counted from non-member states if there are popular votes available to count. As previously mentioned, Article II of the compact guarantees that each member state will produce a popular vote count because it requires member states to permit their voters to vote for President and Vice President in a “statewide popular election.” Even though all states have permitted their voters to vote for presidential electors in a “statewide popular election” since the 1880 election, non-member states are, of course, not bound by the compact. In the unlikely event that a non-member state were to take the presidential vote away from its own people, there would be no popular vote count available from such a state.

Similarly, in the unlikely event that a non-member state were to remove the names of the presidential nominees and vice-presidential nominees from the ballot and present the voters only with names of candidates for presidential elector (as was the case in 1960 in Alabama as shown by the ballot in figure 2.13 and discussed in section 2.11), there would be no way to associate the vote counts of the various presidential electors with the nationwide tally being accumulated by any regular “presidential slate” running in the rest of the country.

The compact addresses the above two unlikely possibilities by specifying that the popular votes that are to be aggregated to produce the “national popular vote total” are those that are

“… cast for each presidential slate in each State of the United States and in the District of Columbia in which votes have been cast in a statewide popular election … .”

In this way, the first clause of Article III of the compact deals with the unlikely possibility of a “one-state veto” preventing the orderly operation of the compact."

I guess the bill maybe does get around this by still having a popular vote, but not reporting the results of it. However, as far as I can tell, the NPVIC doesn't specify how the "chief election officials" are to determine the popular votes in each state, so maybe they could go off of other data, like exit polls.

Even if it does stop it, the end result is a catch-22. I don't think a president could then be elected, at least by normal means.
This is a way for the courts not to get bad press. For the defendant at the time this is a terrible ending. For everyone else it's still nice. From a court's perspective this is a good compromise.
Right, yes - I think we are "agreeing past each other". You are rightly pointing out in this comment that your lifestyle and personal freedoms are unjustly curtailed by powerful people and organizations, who themselves are partly (but inadequately) kept in check by social, legal, and political pressure that is mostly outside of your direct personal control. My original point was that the vulnerability that a simulated being would suffer is not a wholly new type of experience, but merely an extension in scale of potential-abuse.

If you trust society to protect simulated-you (and I am _absolutely_ not saying that you _should_ - merely that present-day society indicates that it's not _entirely_ unreasonable to expect that it might at least _try_ to), simulation is not _guaranteed_ to be horrific.
7 seconds is a nightmare, barely just enough time to suffer in a loop.
What kind of code generators are you talking about? The ones I have are just templates with macros for scaffolding boilerplate, but they are not even remotely comparable to how I use LLMs and definitely not a substitute.
Not a bookshelf, but it reminds me of something that Stripe did something similar here which is equally as cool.

> He claims they implemented policies in 2015 to enter and inspect all rooms after more than 12 hours of DnD.

Eh, I guess I'd trip flags there. I typically put up the DnD on checking in at a hotel and leave it up until I check out. It's not a principled stance or anything, I'm just never staying for an amount of time (i.e. more than a week) where I'd need housekeeping services so figure I can save the housekeeping staff some effort and save some water.
Go has very little story when it comes to desktop or mobile GUI apps, which is too bad because it would be a very productive language for that kind of thing.
> FWIW it's a fertility "crisis", not the. Globally, the fertility rate exceed the replacement rate -- there are plenty of people being born.

Right now. IIRC, current projections are for global populations to start to decline before the end of the century, and I think fall sharply in the next. I think only sub-Saharan Africa is the only region that reproduces at much greater than replacement rate, and even there birthrates are declining. Formerly high reproduction rate places like India are now at replacement rate, and their birthrates are continuing to fall.
>The firmware developer is really the one causing most of the problems. If not for him, this would have handled amicably between EE and DEFCON.

Defcon stopped paying and talking. They would have brushed this all under a rug
If it was an open platform, then Apple couldn't charge any more than Steam which is on an open platform, because nobody would pay that much unless forced to.

Wait, Steam charges more?

Never mind.
>This is a clever idea but if it gets over the line I am very pessimistic about the supreme court allowing it.

You could've stopped at "I'm pessimistic about the Supreme Court". It's completely dysfunctional now.

We need a Supreme Court reform if we want to keep the nation.

> the result would be chaotic at best.

As it already was in the past (Bush vs. Gore), and as I can absolutely assure it will be in 2024 regardless of anything else going on.

>As mentioned in the article, getting congressional approval, and then letting that process go through the courts before enactment, might at least make the deployment reasonable, even if congressional approval may not be strictly required.

Out of the two major parties in the US, one is pushing for National Popular Vote, and the other is famous for sticking for states rights, which is what National Popular Vote Compact is all about (not having the Congress dictate it from the top).

Surely they would support it... right?
Since this camera scans 1D lines, rather than 2D frames, I don't think FPS is the right unit of measure. Perhaps 40,000 lines per second is correct?

Probably unconstitutional because five or six members of the Supreme Court don't like it. The actual justification will come later.

I can appreciate that concern and see it even with flagging / dead / killed posts and submissions.

I've had my own concerns about HN's moderation, both excesses and insufficiencies. When I've done occasional polls about what people's issues are about HN I'm very often pointed to comments which now show as flagged. I'd found a few which hadn't been flagged and forwarded those to dang, who (admittedly long after the fact) flagged them. As dang's said many time, moderators don't see everything, most moderation is by members, and mods step in relatively rarely.

Based on Whaly's 2021 analysis and looking at dang's own comment post history (via Algolia), HN nets roughly 4 million comments/year and 400k submissions, with about 150k active members. Over his ten years as moderator dang's averaged about 20 comments per day, though there's a great deal more moderation occurring (some automated, some member-based, some manual but not noted with comments, which tend to be reserved for established accounts).

My read is that HN mostly tends toward its stated goals and, frankly, good-netizen behaviour. It does have a pronounced status-quo bias, though it seems to be self-aware on this point. I've a few further concerns I'm still thinking through.

The problem with an overly-open archive is that this makes possible misconstrued assertions about what HN does or doesn't tolerate. An open-access archive and third-party apps which don't reflect moderation actions, say, a third-party app which explicitly only showed flagged, killed, and/or dead posts, comments, and users, would paint a distinctly different picture of HN, and one which would greatly harm the reputation of the site.

There are some ... possible ways around this. HN uses sequentially-numbered IDs for posts and comments (both are treated the same so far as I can tell). UserIDs seem to have an internal representation which is similar (I've seen, for example, names which change over time), but the internal representation doesn't seem to be publicly exposed. If you want to find my own content you'd do it with "UserID=dredmorbius" and not by some numeric identifier.

But the numeric content ID means that a determined scraper could walk (sequentially or randomly) through the entire database, pull out every post and comment, and then glue those back together. That's somewhat north of 40 million items presently.... (There are benefits to using sparse, random / arbitrary UUIDs for systems.)

I noticed that a hotel I stayed at reworded their door signs to say “cleaning not required,” which seemed to me a sensible way to reframe expectations.

Legal obligations aside, how would a provider of public accommodation figure out who to refuse the business to? Do they size up guests at checkin to see if they look hacker-ish?

Is that more fair than a bumbling effort at deterrence by advertising your existing security policy, of casting eyes in every room every day—a policy you apply uniformly to every member of the public who wants to rent a room?
Back reconstruction enters the chat
> Has the Congress ever responded by actually passing a law?

Yes. Despite appearances to the contrary (and the exceptionally lethargic behavior of the current (118th) congress), Congress does actually pass laws (and revisions to existing laws), often in response to deficiencies identified by courts and law enforcement in what is currently on the books. If you're interested in following this, the library of congress website [1] has half-way decent filtering.

> I know that it's not the court's responsibility to fix the rest of the system. But it feels disingenuous to say that the legislature could fix it when they know perfectly well that they won't.

Forget responsibility, it's not even within the court's purview - in order for a ruling to stand (much less set precedent), it must be based on the law as it exists (including past precedent); ignoring that might feel good to watch, and would certainly make life interesting for participants in one specific case... But in no way compensates for an inability to legislate on the part of actual, elected, legislators.

If you're frustrated, vote for congressfolk who get things done vs. blather on, don't wish for a magic judge.
