Headlines say Vegas is dead. What’s actually going on is more complicated – The Nevada Independent
Headlines say Vegas is dead. What’s actually going on is more complicated.
Tourism leaders say a boost in conventions and major events will revive the Strip, which could be headed toward its first major downturn since the pandemic.
August 31st, 2025 at 2:00 AM, EconomyGaming A couple watches the Bellagio Fountains on the Strip on Aug. 26, 2025. (Jeff Scheid / The Nevada Independent) For the past 25 years, Cleveland residents Esther and Tom McElhinney have regularly vacationed in Las Vegas. But the couple said the high prices and overall experience is getting worse every time. Tom McElhinney said the Strip’s elevated costs are driving them away.
“The food is expensive, hotels are expensive,” Tom McElhinney said standing between Harrah’s Las Vegas and The Linq. “There’s great stuff to do here. I just don’t want to have to pay $400 for every meal. There used to be bargains and going to buffets, but it seems like those are all disappearing.
“You used to be able to play $5 blackjack everywhere, but now everything is high,” Tom McElhinney continued. “The allure here is gone. Vegas is really pricing people out.”
Strip resort operators are facing the industry’s worst economic downturn since the Great Recession 15 years ago. Gaming revenue at Strip resorts has declined in four of the last seven months and is essentially flat compared to 2024. Despite optimism from casino CEOs, analysts expect the Strip to face ongoing challenges into the fall.
There are also fewer Las Vegas visitors. Through July, the Strip has drawn more than 22.6 million visitors, down by 2 million from a year ago, an 8 percent decline.
Labor Day weekend, normally one of the year’s busiest holidays, is expected to see a nearly 2 percent drop in visitation, according to the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority. The three-day weekend is expected to draw 320,000 visitors, down from 326,000 a year ago.
One challenge facing resort operators is the message on social media and other platforms is that Las Vegas is overpriced and no longer a value to the travel consumer.
Chicago visitor Patty Steiner said she usually comes every year to Las Vegas. But she’s not making plans to come back in 2026, as airline tickets and other expenses have gone up in cost.
“Everything is high. I just feel like it’s going to be a long road,” Steiner said. “The prices are outrageous. The food is crazy. I’m just very unhappy.”
Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority CEO Steve Hill said he doesn’t believe in that narrative. At a media briefing Friday, Hill defended Las Vegas as a value destination and said the market has options to suit all consumers.
“Don’t just believe what you read. Go and do a little bit of work,” Hill said. “Call a travel agent, call on the properties. See what the price of Las Vegas really is, rather than some general headline that, frankly, is not accurate.”

Make sure that both your phone and your watch are charged before performing the update, and that your internet connection is stable. Never interrupt the update process, or there could be problems later. The update process may take a few minutes to finish, and if it appears to be stuck, just wait for more minutes.
Galaxy Watch7 and Watch6 Manager Update (April 2025)
Today, Samsung has rolled out the Galaxy Watch7 Manager and the Galaxy Watch6 Manager update globally as they’re working on an update for both smartwatches. You can now download the update through Galaxy Wearable > Devices > Menu > Settings > About. If there is an update available for your device, you should see the update button as below: The download size for this update is 155 MB, depending on the smartwatch model. Once the update is downloaded, you’ll be able to experience the new version of the Galaxy Wearable app and its manager plugins for your watch. This is done to improve reliability and performance, ensuring that you will be able to interact with your smartwatch more efficiently.
After the update, the following versions will be used:
Galaxy Wearable: 2.2.61.24112961
Galaxy Watch6 Manager: 2.2.13.25033151
Galaxy Watch7 Manager: 2.2.15.25010651
This update is necessary to align with the One UI 7 design elements.
This was my very first photo with the #Pentax 17 on our summer trip. We were already in Italy, spending the night in a suburb of #Milan. As it was getting dark, we walked to a pizzeria. Across the street, I spotted this completely worn-out poster, with only the face of a woman still visible. I have no idea what or who it originally advertised. (Anyone from Milan recognize it?) It looked like an official #billboard, maybe even from the elections… Hopefully not the fascists, because I hate them. Otherwise, I find the decay of images and material absolutely fascinating.
La imagen es un meme dividido en dos partes. En la parte izquierda, se muestra a un hombre con una expresión seria, vestido con un traje oscuro y una camisa blanca, con el logo de "X" (anteriormente conocido como Twitter) en el centro. El texto en la parte superior dice: "USO ALGORITMOS, SOY RESTRICTIVO Y CENSURO MEDIOS QUE NO SIGAN MIS IDEAS." En la parte derecha, hay una imagen de un hombre con barba, mirando hacia arriba con una expresión relajada, vestido con una camiseta azul, con el logo de "Mastodon" en el centro. El texto en la parte inferior dice: "LA COSA ES TRANQUILA, RELAX, SIN ALGORITMOS Y PUEDES PUBLICAR SIN PROBLEMA." La imagen compara las políticas de algoritmos y censura de Twitter con la plataforma de Mastodon, sugiriendo que Mastodon es más abierta y sin restricciones.

::: spoiler 12 Key Findings 1. Age assurance can be done in Australia privately, efficiently and effectively: Age assurance can be done in Australia – our analysis of age assurance systems in the context of Australia demonstrates how they can be private, robust and effective. There is a plethora of choice available for providers of age-restricted goods, content, services, venues or spaces to select the most appropriate systems for their use case with reference to emerging international standards for age assurance. 2. No substantial technological limitations preventing its implementation to meet policy goals: Our evaluation did not reveal any substantial technological limitations that would prevent age assurance systems being used in response to age-related eligibility requirements established by policy makers. We identified careful, critical thinking by providers on the development and deployment of age assurance systems, considering efficacy, privacy, data and security concerns. Some systems were easier for initial implementation and use than others, but the systems of all technology providers with a technology readiness level (TRL) 7 or above were eventually capable of integration to a user journey. 3. Provider claims have been independently validated against the project’s evaluation criteria: We found that the practice statements provided by age assurance providers with a TRL of 7 or above fairly reflected the technological capabilities of their products, processes or services (to the extent applicable to the Trial’s evaluation criteria). Some of the practice statements provided have needed to be clarified or developed during the course of the Trial, but we observed that they offer a useful option for transparency of the capabilities of the available age assurance systems. Those with a TRL below 7 will need further analysis when their systems mature. 4. A wide range of approaches exist, but there is no one-size-fits-all solution for all contexts: We found a plethora of approaches that fit different use cases in different ways, but we did not find a single ubiquitous solution that would suit all use cases, nor did we find solutions that were guaranteed to be effective in all deployments. The range of possibilities across the Trial participants demonstrate a rich and rapidly evolving range of services which can be tailored and effective depending on each specified context of use. 5. We found a dynamic, innovative and evolving age assurance service sector: We found a vibrant, creative and innovative age assurance service sector with both technologically advanced and deployed solutions and a pipeline of new technologies transitioning from research to minimum viable product to testing and deployment stages indicating an evolving choice and future opportunities for developers. We found private-sector investment and opportunities for growth within the age assurance services sector. 6. We found robust, appropriate and secure data handling practices: We found robust understanding of and internal policy decisions regarding the handling of personal information by Trial participants. The privacy policies and practice statements collated for the Trial demonstrate a strong commitment to privacy by design principles, with consideration of what data was to be collected, stored, shared and then disposed of. Separating age assurance services from those of relying parties was useful as Trial participants providing age assurance services more clearly only used data for the necessary and consented purpose of providing an age assurance result. 7. Systems performed broadly consistently across demographic groups, including Indigenous populations: The systems under test performed broadly consistently across demographic groups assessed and despite an acknowledged deficit in training age analysis systems with data about Indigenous populations, we found no substantial difference in the outcomes for First Nations and Torres Strait Islander Peoples and other multi-cultural communities using the age assurance systems. We found some systems performed better than others, but overall variances across race did not deviate by more than recognised tolerances. 8. There is scope to enhance usability, risk management and system interoperability: We found opportunities for technological improvement including improving ease of use for the average person and enhancing the management of risk in age assurance systems. This could include through one-way blind access to verification of government documents, enabling connection to data holder services (like digital wallets) or improving the handling of a child’s digital footprint as examples. 9. Parental control tools can be effective but may constrain children’s digital participation and evolving autonomy: The Trial found that both parental control and consent systems can be done and can be effective, but they serve different purposes. Parental control systems are pre-configured and ongoing but may fail to adapt to the evolving capacities of children including potential risks to their digital privacy as they grow and mature, particularly through adolescence. Parental consent mechanisms prompt active engagement between children and their parents at key decision points, potentially supporting informed access. 10. Systems generally align with cybersecurity best practice, but vigilance is required: We found that the systems were generally secure and consistent with information security standards, with developers actively addressing known attack vectors including AI-generated spoofing and forgeries. However, the rapidly evolving threat environment means that these systems – while presently fairly robust – cannot be considered infallible. Ongoing monitoring and improvement will help maintain their effectiveness over time. Similarly, continued attention to privacy compliance will support long-term trust and accountability. 11. Unnecessary data retention may occur in apparent anticipation of future regulatory needs: We found some concerning evidence that in the absence of specific guidance, service providers were apparently over-anticipating the eventual needs of regulators about providing personal information for future investigations. Some providers were found to be building tools to enable regulators, law enforcement or Coroners to retrace the actions taken by individuals to verify their age which could lead to increased risk of privacy breaches due to unnecessary and disproportionate collection and retention of data. 12. Providers are aligning to emerging international standards around age assurance: The standards-based approach adopted by the Trial, including through the ISO/IEC 27566 Series [Note 1], the IEEE 2089.1 [Note 2] and the ISO/IEC 25000 [Note 3] series (the Product Quality Model) all provide a strong basis for the development of accreditation of conformity assessment and subsequent certification of individual age assurance providers in accordance with Australia’s standards and conformance infrastructure. :::

This document presents the official report of the Age Assurance Technology Trial, offering a comprehensive overview of its findings, methodologies and key observations.
so much fluff in their findings. makes me think, they didnt research shit. this is gonna be terribly implemented.
their attempt wont be the end of the free web. but people will leave because they dont want their data breached by yet another bad actor. its just making the web more dangerous instead of safer.
no one has the tech and security to handle this. its waaaay too early. the breaches are going to substantial and continuous.
They've been trying to do it for ages, and they're forever a tad closer. The software stack is where the challenge lies, not the hardware. Still today, you can buy AMD hardware that on paper is better than Nvidia's, yet you can't squeeze out similar performances matching shittier Nvidia cards. Even still, rocm, the 'cuda' for AMD, can't even compete with even vulkan (an open source agnostic backend). So I doubt china will deliver that fast.
Software like wgpu makes it much easier to close the gap between various GPUs. New compute languages that are backend-agnostic are appearing, in the same vein as taichi-lang, that make it significantly easier to make high-performance gpu kernels deployable anywhere.
The compute groundwork for crossplatform tensor calculations is already here. Inference is already doable on any device. Training is not far behind. As a side-effect of this, processing on the GPU in every capacity, like physics, novel rendering techniques, or whatever else the imagination can muster, is now within grasp of "average" programmers.
If you have always been intimidated by GPU programming, I urge you to take another look now. The landscape is radically different. The software moat everyone talks about with NVIDIA is smoke-and-mirrors. Cuda is old news, though I am speaking to the actual code landscape here, not the common mental consensus.
What we lack now is cheap video cards that have high memory. I believe the current cards are overpriced by about 10 - 100x what they should be, because this profit situation is extremely temporary. Just as pens were once thousands of dollars, these compute devices will be collapsing in price.
I welcome China building cheaper video cards. Hopefully we will all benefit from it before any robot wars break out.
Weird article IMO??? Forget the startups, unless they are backed by very major players they don't stand a chance. They have their competences, but I seriously doubt competing with Nvidia on making AI chips is among them. The players to watch are Huawei, Baidu, Tencent and the likes. Who have already been working on this for a while, and have actual working and useful products.
While Huawei is the leader, Chinese companies don’t want to rely entirely on the company.
I don't understand how that statement is supposed to make much sense? When Chinese companies were happy using Nvidia and being dependent on Nvidia. Why wouldn't they be equally happy using Huawei if it's the best option after the government has forbidden them from using Nvidia? It may be true, but there is zero explanation why it is.
To the ones that think China can just use AMD instead, they really can't, AMD is under the same restrictions Nvidia is, and AFAIK AMD has not designed a chip to sell to China within those restrictions.

Je länger ich Friedrich Merz mit seiner Union an der Regierung zuschaue, desto mehr bin an diese massive Blockade und Zerstörungswut der FDP in der alten Ampel erinnert, die dort noch von den Grünen oft eingedämmt werden konnte.
Hier ist diese Zerstörungswut aber an der Regierung und bereitet den fruchtbarsten Boden für die Faschisten vor, die unsere Demokratie, unseren Wohlstand, unseren Frieden und unsere Gesellschaft in das absolute Chaos führen werden.
Und uns in eine russische Sklavengesellschaft treiben. So wie die Russen es mit der Ukraine vorhaben.
Aber vielleicht ist das Klima ja schneller und macht uns vorher den Garaus. Die Chancen dazu stehen im hochprozentigen Bereich.

Non capisco le persone che, in auto, scavalcano i dossi a meno di 20 km/h ("altrimenti si rovina l'assetto 😱"), poi sgasano a 70 e inchiodano prima del dosso successivo.
Io vado a 40 fissi, dossi o non dossi, e me ne fotto.
Mi piacerebbe affiancarli e dire loro, con sufficienza: "IO posso permettermi di rifare l'assetto una volta al mese¹", tanto per non dire "anche se hai il BMW rimani straccione dentro".
¹ non è vero, e non ho mai fatto l'assetto, frega niente.
o come quelli che in rettilineo ti stanno incollati dietro con i loro macchinoni e appena c'è una curva rimangono indietro, perché non sanno affrontarla bene, poi appena la strada torna dritta ti si riattaccano di nuovo.

The image shows a computer screen with multiple windows open, likely on a Linux operating system. The main window in the foreground is a text editor displaying a Python script named "rainbow-2025-09-18-12-58-49.py," which is running a program to control a Sense HAT. The script includes functions for handling the Sense HAT, such as "hat.SenseHAT()" and "def scale_sticky(value)." The script also contains a loop that continuously updates the LED matrix with a rainbow pattern.
In the background, there is a terminal window showing the output of the script, with colorful text indicating the LED matrix's state.

🚨🪖🇫🇷 La premessa è d'obbligo: no allarmismi. Non esistono attualmente indicatori che anticipino l'imminenza di una guerra che coinvolga Parigi o altre importanti capitali europee. Ma l'iniziativa del governo francese merita senza dubbio di essere analizzata con attenzione. In una lettera datata 18 luglio 2025, il Ministero della Salute transalpino ha infatti chiesto con discrezione agli ospedali del Paese di prepararsi a fronteggiare un "impegno militare di grande entità" in Europa, con piena prontezza richiesta entro marzo 2026. Vediamo i dettagli insieme. Ps: mi ripeto, no allarmismi immotivati. Leggere questo pezzo con curiosità e interesse, non con apprensione.
2/n 🚨🪖🇫🇷 La direttiva in questione, rivelata da Le Canard Enchaîné, è stata inviata alle Agenzie Regionali di Sanità con l'obiettivo di delineare come il sistema dovrebbe reagire nel caso in cui la Francia diventasse base logistica di retrovia in un conflitto su larga scala. Cosa si intende di preciso? Si parla di fatto di una zona situata dietro la linea del fronte, sicura, pronta a fungere da punto di supporto, evacuazione, cura dei feriti, rifornimenti e preparazione di truppe.
3/n 🚨🪖🇫🇷 3/n La richiesta espressa nel documento è chiara: essere pronti ad accogliere in breve tempo un gran numero di militari feriti - che siano francesi e alleati - e di farlo per settimane, persino mesi. Per garantire una gestione dell'afflusso di pazienti ottimale, il ministero francese chiede che vengano istituiti centri medici di smistamento nei pressi di porti e aeroporti, così da stabilizzare i pazienti e rimandarli rapidamente nei rispettivi Paesi di appartenenza. Per ottenere la massima efficienza, il personale medico francese dovrebbe ricevere anche un'adeguata formazione, da intendersi nella forma di un addestramento sulle "condizioni del tempo di guerra". Il riferimento è alla potenziale scarsità di forniture, ai picchi improvvisi di domanda e alla logistica perturbata, ma anche all'insieme di condizioni mediche che i camici bianchi potrebbero essere chiamati ad affrontare con frequenza, dai disturbi post-traumatici alla riabilitazione per lesioni complesse.
4/n 🚨🪖🇫🇷 Le ipotesi di pianificazione sono impegnative. In base alle indicazioni riportate da Le Canard Enchaîné, gli ospedali francesi dovrebbero essere in grado di assorbire tra 10.000 e 50.000 feriti in un arco di 10-180 giorni, a seconda dell'evoluzione della crisi. Di nuovo: non significa che tali numeri siano attesi, ma che i pianificatori vogliono che il sistema sia in grado di reggere se queste stime dovessero presentarsi. Per farlo, ai direttori sanitari viene chiesto di programmare fin da adesso: liberare rapidamente posti letto, provare le procedure di accoglienza e triage, identificare quali reparti possano convertirsi alla traumatologia, e mappare i percorsi di evacuazione dal letto di degenza fino alla rampa d'imbarco degli aerei.
5/n 🚨🪖🇫🇷 La lettera tocca anche un aspetto spesso sottovalutato, ma fondamentale: il fattore umano di un'operazione prolungata. Le turnazioni dovranno infatti dimostarsi in grado di resistere a mesi di estrema pressione, prevedendo anche supporto psicologico per team che vivrebbero costantemente sotto stress. Lo scenario prevederebbe inoltre la requisizione del personale medico civile, mobilitabile verso il Servizio di sanità delle Forze Armate, e l'organizzazione di strutture mediche temporanee in prossimità dei principali punti d'ingresso del territorio nazionale.
6/n 🚨🪖🇫🇷 Interpellata sulla fuga di notizie, la ministra della Salute, Catherine Vautrin, non ha smentito l'esistenza della direttiva, ma l'ha inquadrata nell'ambito di una normale pianificazione: "Gli ospedali si preparano sempre - alle epidemie, ai picchi di carico. È normale che un Paese anticipi le crisi e le loro conseguenze". La notizia si inserisce però in un più ampio impulso - francese ed europeo - mirato alla preparazione delle società continentali dinanzi al rischio di una guerra o, più in generale, di uno scenario di crisi. Xavier de Giacomoni, editorialista di politica internazionale per La Chaîne Info, ricorda a tal proposito come a partire dall'inizio dell'invasione russa dell'Ucraina, la Francia abbia "avviato un censimento di tutte le capacità di cura e ospedalizzazione disponibili nel Paese. Ora ci si sta preparando a ciò che potrebbe avvenire in seguito". Attualmente il servizio sanitario delle forze armate francesi gode di una reputazione di eccellenza a livello internazionale.

Dr. Bruce Miller & I were on the Nocturnists #podcast a while back. Dr. Emily Silverman has put together a wonderful & informative series of conversations covering aspects of medical care that aren't often discussed; for ex., shame, uncertainty, race. About the podcast w/me & Bruce, she writes: "[Finding the Right Words] serves as a dialogue btw. patient & doctor, literary critic & neuroscientist. A great example of narrative medicine in action."

@Coco Lowres Ich übe hier mal das Postkartieren: Mein Koffer hat die ÖBB in meiner Gesellschaft erreicht. Schön hier. Toller Strand, wenn auch ziemlich voll. Nur noch Sitze, keine Liegen mehr frei.
@Coco Lowres Der Koffer grüßt zurück (wenn ich ihn richtig verstanden habe). Der Liebsten hat's am Reiseziel zu viel Kunst, daher findet die Reise mit dem auch in solchen Sachen sehr kompatiblen Freund Peter statt.
@Sophie Hassfurther Das Daumendrücken hat geholfen: Wir sitzen im geplanten dritten Zug von dreien, die 10 Minuten Umstiegszeit haben locker gereicht, der ICE zuvor kam pünktlich an. Geht doch. 🙂
Leone XIV: agli Agostiniani, “l’unità sia l’oggetto irrinunciabile dei vostri sforzi”
