Not always in the case of sports betting - although there are definitely math "taxes" like parlays and point buys and heavy chalk. Plus all the predatory "promotion" stuff they will throw out. Sharp bettors do exist though, and do make quite a bit of money. They're less than 1% though.
So, this would be done in AWS by having e.g. IAM roles that you can assume from your user account. Your user account is your identity, and the IAM role that you assume is what grants you permissions. You can then log something like “this action was performed by Admin assumed by TheBigDuck234”, because the original identity is also recorded.

There are some rough edges around the experience here if you really do want the best security posture, but you don’t have to go all the way. You can just create your one IAM user (just one per person) and then create multiple roles. When you log into the console, you authenticate as the user and then choose the account + role you want to use. I recommend creating a “read only” role. The purpose is to let people poke around in the console and debug problems without risking creating problems in production infrastructure—this is more of an operations than a security problem, though.
> and we(as the consumer) pay for it in higher ticket prices.

With an air transport pilot flying 700 hours and making $220k annually, with 300 flights and 150 people per flight, that's <$5 per seat. The flight crew's wages are a very small part of the cost of a ticket.
Ok well it seems my test for whether we really have AI yet (are there self-driving lawyers) remains unsatisfied.
For me lawyers work is significantly easier to automate with some proto-AI than is software development or driving a car. So although recent AI progress is highly impressive, I'm not retiring until it takes over the lawyers.
Legalising is fine, failing to regulate is not.

I strongly believe it is better to have something legal and well regulated than illegal and left to illegal operators.

This is true for a number of vices.

With legalisation should come strong regulation, including advertising bans.

The UK made this mistake when they strongly de-regulated gambling in the early 2000s, it seems the US did not learn from that when legalising.

If you think Tesla is leading and will solve the FSD problem first, the 1T market cap makes sense, and is possibly undervalued. If you hate Elon Musk because you disagree with his politics and dont drive a Tesla w/ FSD, you make comments like this on HN.

If the need for intervention is predictable, like a problem intersection that's difficult to avoid, they could conceivably assign an operator early, so they have time to engage and provide support immediately when required.

It would pretty neat if the Waymo itself could accurately predict the need for assistance in the near future as well. But I'm sure that requires pretty specific conditions.

The Ashley "Kill All Men" Williams drama was pretty bad. She had a relationship with a core Rust board member at the time so they added her on just because. Any discussion about her addition to the board was censored immediately, reddit mods removed and banned any topics and users mentioning her, etc.
> The LOCALIO protocol support allows the NFS client and server to reliably determine if they are on the same host. If they happen to be on the same host, the network RPC protocol for read/write/commit operations are bypassed. Due to bypassing the XDR and RPC for reads/writes/commits, there can be big performance gains to using the LOCALIO protocol.

> One of the intended scenarios where it can be common for having the NFS client and server on the same host is when running containerized workloads

What are the advantages to NFS [with localio] over OverlayFS/overlay2 and bind mounts across context boundaries for container filesystems?

Do the new faster direct read() and write() IO calls have different risks compared to disk io with network IO?

Are the file permissions the same with localio? How does that compare to subuids and subuids for rootless containers?

Article is correct. We should probably also ban government-run gambling (lotteries).

Or when there is an unmapped construction site, or when there is anything not mapped correctly.
I think the difference is that you're already in prepared for intervention mode at that time, with hands on the wheel, foot on the pedal, and already observing traffic.
Yes, always.

There is nothing unique about sports gambling here.
Do a thought process. Should you and your friends be able to go to a public library with a van full of copiers with each one of you take a book and run to the van to make a copy? And you are doing it 24/7.
Yeah. With a lot of assumptions, they can maybe work outside of financial shenanigans. But people often want to travel at the same time. They want to vary locations. If you always want to go to the same location multiple times per year and are pretty flexible about dates? Maybe?

Research Dossier, J.D. Vance [pdf]
I think the taxes thing is mainly to appease the voting public. People want the profits of the bad things to pay for the good things. It makes the ugly pill possible to swallow.
It's a matter of opportunity costs as well. If you want to be able to do plumbing, wiring, framing... you likely don't also have the time to learn the potentially vast amount of knowledge required to adeptly navigate the legal system.

> Some people are really woried about making big mistakes that are expensive to clean when plumbing or wiring or lawyering.

Even worse, if you lawyer wrong (or wire wrong), you might not be able to clean it up - you just do your time or perhaps die.
I have not seen any evidence that AI output can reach quality levels of a human.

Any non-trivial code generated by it takes more time to debug than just writing it from scratch.

Its "art" is abominably bad and repetitive.

Text generated by AI reads like corporate ad copy written by several committees of committees.

"Lovecraftian nightmare" best describes its video output.

AI voice generation sounds like soulless ripoffs of famous voice actors (the Attenborough clone is the worst) with misplaced stresses and an off-putting cadence derived from being completely unable to understand the broader context of the work it is narrating.

Its explanations on things are inferior to the first paragraph of any wikipedia article on the query topic.

A child with a pirated copy of FL-Studio can make more interesting music.

The wall being erected by AI customer service agents between a problem and an actual human who might be able to solve it is frustrating and useless.

On top of all of that the answers it confidently gives (almost always with no sources) are often extremely wrong.

Is there a secret AI product everyone is using that is actually good?

Edit: AI is however extremely good at rapidly creating an endless stream of barely-passable content designed to distract very cheaply so I expect its use by marketing and social media firms to continue its meteoric rise.

You can simultanously believe that AI:

* Is both interesting and has loads of promise, so is worth working on in your own time

They aren't contradictory at all.
Not everyone should try to be Steve Jobs.

I had a boss who I’m now sure had aphantasia and his two best UI people would tell him something wouldn’t fit in backlog grooming, then we’d get to spend a week showing him all the different ways it doesn’t fit before he would shut the fuck up about it.

We already “figured it out” in our heads because we are equipped to do the job. We were already doing some pretty sophisticated typesetting to make more things fit on the screen than really did.

He was sure he knew where the problems were in the org and that they weren’t him.
It's not agile... it's Scrum and Jira.

I have been on multiple teams that switched from Scrum to Kanban and will never go back. I'm convinced the whole process of fitting things into two week sprints is a huge time drain, gets abused too easily, and doesn't justify itself if you have decent CI anyway.

Give a Scrum Master and a Product Owner a Jira install and you can do the most amazing tricks with disappearing thousand dollar bills.... :-)
Because the compiler ends up looking at all the functions anyway, only for the linker to discard them all.
The issue isn't `Fix linting issues`, the issue is a `Fix linting issues` commit for issues you introduced in the code you'll be pushing with that `Fix linting issues` commit. Nobody wants to see you pre-push dev history -- it's not at all interesting. So rebase and squash/fixup such commits, split/merge commits -- do what you have to to make the history you do push to the upstream useful.

Now, if you find linting issues in the upstream and fix those, then a `Fix linting issues` commit is perfectly fine.
Claude was not the best model for reasoning even vs 4o, and it's quite visible once you start giving it more complex logical puzzles. People seem to like it more mostly because the way it speaks is less forced and robotic, and it's better at creative writing usually, but if you need actual _intelligence_, GPT is still quite a bit ahead of everybody else.

Now I don't think that it's because OpenAI has some kind of secret sauce. It rather seems that it's mostly due to their first mover advantage and access to immense hardware resources thanks to their Microsoft partnership. Nevertheless, whatever the reason their models are superior, that superiority is quantifiable in money.
Microsoft's OpenAI models seems even worse. They run their own "safety" filter.

Using their models in a medical setting is impossible. It refuses to describe scientific photos and will not summarize HCP discussions (texts) that it misinterprets.

Comparing Oranges to Potatoes. People involved in gambling are not stupid. They are either 1. Not quite smart or mathematically smart, so they don't understand the odds or 2. Addicted to gambling in the same way someone is addicted to Tobacco. Of course, there is 3. Having a little fun with a little money; but this is not the audience that's making money for gaming.
Sort of. It's how you bankrupt poor people addicted to the vice while not meaningfully affecting the well-off.
I’m Wiktor Walc, the CTO of Tiugo Technologies, which acquired ButterCMS in 2022. I completely understand the frustration and impact this may have had on your operations, and I wanted to personally apologize for how we handled the recent domain transfer and the communication surrounding it.

What Happened:

Domain transfers typically go smoothly, especially since we made sure to keep DNS records and the underlying infrastructure completely intact to minimize any risk. Unfortunately, this time, things didn’t go as planned.

An additional verification email sent by Amazon in August was mistakenly flagged by Gmail as a phishing attempt and placed in the spam folder, so it went unnoticed. As a result, we failed to verify the domain on time, and it was temporarily suspended. The moment we received the suspension notice from AWS, we immediately resolved the issue and restored the domain.

Missteps in Communication:

We recognize that there was a delay in communication after the domain issue had already been resolved, which was due to a breakdown in our internal processes. This misstep caused frustration, and we are committed to improving our communication practices moving forward. This happened because the team was not yet fully integrated into our communication processes. A few days after resolving the issue, we posted an explanation on our status page, which can be found here: https://status.buttercms.com/

Moving Forward:

This incident has been a valuable learning experience for us, and we are taking concrete steps to prevent similar occurrences in the future. Our improvements include:

- Faster responses on social media to keep you informed

- Real-time updates on the status page to ensure transparency

- Resolve outdated code examples to provide better support

We are also making long-term improvements to ButterCMS to ensure stability and security. A dedicated DevOps team has been assigned, and we’ve scaled up our engineering resources. Currently, we are planning the roadmap for the upcoming year and would greatly appreciate any suggestions or feature requests you may have.

Once again, I do apologize for the inconvenience this incident caused, and I truly appreciate your patience and understanding.

If you have any questions or feedback, please don’t hesitate to reach out.
Like a fool I purchased the FSD feature on a new Tesla in March 2019. All this time later, it still does absolutely nothing in my country. It’s actively dangerous to use because it can’t even recognize speed limits and will happily drive at 120 km/h in a 100 km/h zone.

I’m going to get rid of the car soon. This feature cost 7,500 euros but its resale value is essentially zero because everyone knows it’s a complete joke.

Obviously my next car won’t be from this scam company. Worst purchase I ever made.
Walking through the UK really does not lead to a good view of sports betting. The store fronts do not look like places that a happy person would go to.
Running red lights and stop signs is unsafe. I’ve experienced it and there are many videos demonstrating it including very recently.

It’s amazing. It’s better than adaptive cruise control, but it has a long way to go because it’s often enough unsafe.

> Aren't TfL given privileged access to be able to retrieve back the FPAN

Yes they are.

> Why do you think RID2 wouldn't be able to ask a server to check this at inspection time?

I don’t. But RID2 is brand new, and they only finished the complete rollout last year. I don’t know why you expect TfL to immediately start supporting railcards, and it doesn’t change the fact that for the majority of the time that TfL has supported contactless, it’s not been possible for them to validate railcard association with their original RID.

Nothing you’ve said in anyway support your original assertion that TfL’s contactless system was deliberately designed to not support railcards, and certainly doesn’t support your implied assertion that TfL doesn’t support railcards on contactless for nefarious purposes, as opposed to simply not having the technology developed.

Yeah why would any company have to test the efficacy of their product before making claims about its efficacy?

Snark aside, this is literally a quote from their marketing: "what this robot lawyer can do is astonishingly similar—if not more—to what human lawyers do."

So to claim that they “exclaimed that the work was not as good as a human” is inaccurate.
If a tenant is able to file a case that costs his corporate, PE owned landlord $25k to litigate, that's a win in my book. That's the same landlord who increased the rent 20% per year for the last 5 years because "the Market", well, Blackstone, welcome to the "market" where each eviction now costs you a collateral amount for ruining a hard working persons life. Imagine that, if there were a consequence to greed?
The vast majority of Quest users would never have invested in a high spec PC and Valve Index (which was like $1000 at the time), set it up with sensors and fiddled about with software to get it work. Mobile-quality gaming (Beat Saber) and professional applications are completely different markets and for the most part Quest just commoditized VR for people without the money or the means.

And you can literally use it with a PC via wifi or a cable.
The article isn't clear, but it sounds like the cars were already being tracked, only now also "unauthorized" people could track them (when before, only Kia and car dealers could track your car).

Why is it okay for Kia/manufacturers to spy on our cars, and only a problem when others do it? This attitude is pervasive in reporting on hacks like these - the initial spying by corporations is always given a pass (or rather, it is implied that's not even "tracking", as the title implies the tracking happened only after the hack).
Well, you can't necessarily trust open source for business software.

The more deeply your business depends on something, the more careful you need to be when selecting the source for that something. (And the db is often very deeply depended on.)

You want to see why their long-term incentives align with your own needs.

But a revenue stream is just one way to do this, and not a perfect one. (Case in point: Oracle.)

In my experience, SQL Server isn't bad though. I know a couple commercial products that started with SQL Server in the late '90s and remain happy with it now. The cost hasn't been a problem and they like the support and evolution of the product. They find they can adopt newer versions and features when they need to without too much pain/cost/time.

(Not that I don't think Postgres is generally a better green-field pick, though, and even more so porting away from Oracle.)
Ah yes, gambling. The haven for smart people. /s
The problem is that, as it stands today, FSD requires constant human attention to catch its eventual mistakes. Humans are notoriously bad at that, and the promises of FSD make drivers even more oblivious to their surroundings, ultimately worsening this issue.

Here’s my guess:

I think it’s a question of agency. If you’re an adult that makes their own choices (crime, bad financial decisions, etc.), then you know what the consequences are.

If you’re an unborn child, you’re don’t have agency.

For some there’s probably deeper religious belief in good things (birth) being the work of God and bad things (crime, vice, death) being the work of Satan.

To your point there are plenty of competing religious teachings that could lead some to be pro-choice, pro-welfare and anti-death penalty.

For some reason everyone connects to it over the network now.

As someone who was a relatively-early adopter of it on real servers and hand-managed VMs (i.e. we also controlled the hardware and host OS for the VMs) for a higher traffic site than most of the ones that think they need auto-scaling cloud shit from day one will ever reach, and was/is very enthusiastic about redis, I have exactly no idea why this is a popular way to use it. Cargo-culting and marketing (how else are you gonna sell it as a service?) are all I can figure as the motivations.

Connecting to it over a network is a handy feature for, like, ancillary things that need to connect to it remotely (maybe for reporting or something?) but as the main or only way of using it? Yeah I don’t get it, you’ve just wiped out a ton of its benefits.
State lotteries also run games like Keno, which run every 5-15 minutes. They have also started to run apps which have instant-play games, which are roughly equivalent to turning your phone into a slot machine. Keno and instant-play games still feel like chance, though, and the apps often have warnings and usage limits that the sports betting sites don't have.
The sad thing is that there are a lot of things AR glasses could be useful for in my everyday life, but it all assumes that those glasses are working for me and me alone. I'd never use a product that was going to spy on everything I see and do. I'd never use a product that would fill my vision with ads either.
With all due respect, absolutely not? If a book puts out a line of +200 and you've determined there is a certain percentage chance of winning, your expectation easily can be positive. The "gambling is a tax for those bad at math" is a misconstrued quote that usually applies to completely negative expectation games, such as scratcher tickets, in which the more you play you will always lose in the long run. There are very precise mathematical terms for these things, and strictly, you are wrong.

You can extend this to things like poker as well - is that a tax on people bad at math? Of course not, that'd be a stupid argument, because it's not a purely negative expectation game.
