These conversations pop up every now and again on HN. I was getting frustrated with Google Maps a few years ago, when I read one of these articles on here about how Apple Maps is better than Google Maps. I decided to give it a try (and fully uninstalled GMaps so that I would be forced to use it.)

I live around Austin, TX, so there could be variations in my experience, but generally for common use cases, Apple Maps is on par.
Where I find it excels above Google Maps is on navigation and directions, hands down. When my wife puts on Gmaps navigation on her phone I put on Apple Maps on mine. (we have same phone and network). If there ever is a mistake, slow update, mispronunciation, etc. it is always on Google Maps side. This has cost us a lot of time, until we finally switched over to rely on Apple Maps for navigation. The search and interface are also about the same, but I prefer the Apple Maps a bit more, but that is more personal preference.

Where it underperforms is in the search and reviews avenue, as it primarily relies on yelp reviews rather than native reviews, which can be hit or miss. I don't really miss it, but if it do, I just search google for the place to read their reviews. Also, Some place results lack correct details in Apple Maps (rare)--I think since many places have to update the info themselves, this might drive the issue. Example would be updated menu links or hours for holidays.

Many of the other posts on this thread point out the differences along other use cases, where Google Maps excels, but for daily, average use, I am happy to use Apple Maps as daily driver.
It's determined by your WAN provider. Centurylink and google, (AFAIK) leverage PPPoE connections, and the network traffic there seems to be limited around 600mb/s.

I replaced the connection with a cable drop, which I get 1.2gb/s down on.

Solving the last mile facilities based isp problem in detached houses in the USA and Canada is a hard one. In most places with aerial Telecom and power infrastructure, you will have three things coming to a house. Electricity, obviously. And then whatever is the local phone company, and the local incumbent cable TV company.

If you're unlucky enough to live in a place where the phone company is operating old degraded DSL on copper phone lines, and doesn't care to overbuild it with single mode fiber for GPON, and the cable TV company is also something similarly large and slightly evil like Comcast, you're almost out of luck. This is a political and regulatory problem that allows the local franchise agreement for the phone company and cable tv company to be renewed in perpetuity without demanding solid metrics for improvement of service.

If you are very fortunate, there will be an entirely single mode fiber-based third-party provider which competes with the previous two mentioned things. Doing what's called and "overbuild" as a new entrant for this is very capital intensive and requires a lot of physical outside plant cabling work and infrastructure at layer 1 in the OSI model. It also requires appropriate cooperation from whichever local entity owns and controls the wood utility poles (again, a political problem).
AlphaZero is not supervised, in the sense that it learned from known correct actions (earlier versions of AlphGo did learn from online games). So although it needed human supervision, sure, it didn’t need us to provide correct answers.

The authors point does somewhat stand that you don’t have the problem of reward engineering in board games so they are a dead end from that point of view - they skirt around the core problem instead of tackling it.
We need DNSSEC for eSNI/ECH to be possible.
You do joins when you traverse schema type paths in EdgeQL, it's just that the actual joins are implicit (well, compared to SQL):

SELECT User {
email,
preferences: {
name,
value
}
} FILTER .id = '...'

E.g. in the above example we'd join the underlying User and Preferences tables for you.

You can also do cross joins and all other funky stuff.
Even though Apple Maps is improving rapidly, Google Maps usually gives me slightly better results.

But, I use Apple Maps almost always because of two things: privacy, and because of my Apple Watch.

If I need Google Maps then I run it from Safari on my iPhone.

Send me an email at hello @ peteshadbolt.co.uk and I can share the LIRC configuration as well as an Ansible role to install LIRC etc.
this is a great question!

going to disappoint in saying that you can't read most online documentation cover to cover. i don't know of any that works that way. (unless it's the guide or tutorial part.)

you can use the online documentation as reference though. presumably a book or a guide has already told you about the packages/interfaces/functions/etc. you are looking for.

i have to say that go is one of the best documented language out there. "go doc" should be all one needs if we were all serious about documenting go code/libraries.

> I've read very similar arguments to justify using hydroxychloroquine without a good RCT last year

The big RCTs for Hydroxychrloriquine used almost toxic doses in very late treatment stages, when there's no viral replication.

These were studies that were designed to fail in order to discredit early treatments. The corruption of medical sciences has happened many times before (e.g. tobacco industry, asbestos, Vioxx, opioids...)

HCQ is only effective in the early viral replication stage, (the first few days after symptoms).

For example, in a peer-reviewed study of 29K patients for early treatment, it showed a 73% reduction in death.

https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S156757692...

If you only include early treatment studies, you do see that HCQ definitely helps.

https://hcqmeta.com/#fig_fpearly

https://hcqmeta.com/#exc

That said, the results for HCQ compared to Ivermectin are less consistent, it only works early stages, it has no anti-inflammatory effect, the improvements are smaller, and there are more adverse effects. The risk/benefit there is smaller, but it's still much better than the current approach which is take paracetamol until you're sick enough to go the hospital. There are zero RCTs for paracetamol.

If you're curious about the case for Ivermectin, this is a good video to start with:

I’ve read that it costs them $2 to store a single TB a month. Which makes sense. $4 -> $10 is a reasonable markup. I store 80 TB for $20. They lose money on me.
I don't agree with this article but it is not perplexing at all. Dead ends exist. The universe is highly, highly limited and everything eventually has a dead end. The question is, are we there yet?

For certain things yes, for other things no. But to assume there is never a dead end and that everything can be overcome through incremental development and research is patently a false assumption. There are many examples of dead ends within research and development.

Thus in short his proposal is likely wrong, but it is not a perplexing proposal. Nor is his proposal guaranteed to be wrong and there is a possibility he may be right. For example Elon predicted self driving will be a finished problem in a year. Guess what?

I actually sort of dislike this whole "perplexing" attitude that some people have. It's like yeah his opinion seems wrong or his opinion is not the norm, but there's no need to treat it as if it's "perplexing." It's like you observing animal behavior in a lab and your so "perplexed" on how someone can have a differing opinion.

People can have differing opinions and sometimes these opinions can be right and overturn an existing paradigm.

Instead of saying you find someone perplexing or strange, just say you disagree. It's more civil and it respects the underdogs of the past who fought against overwhelming odds to change entire schools of thought and bring our knowledge closer to answering the ultimate question.

So perplexing how some people are so rude nowadays. See what I did there?
Sauna at my gym ranges around 200 F +/- about 10 degrees, according to the thermometer on the wall, so getting close to 100 C. I sit in it about 20 minutes after a workout. Yes I am sweating buckets by the end. It feels good though.

> The problem is people irrationally believe that a 'vaccine is unsafe' but at the same time 'some other drug is safe' and might therefore take the drug.

It's wild to see people grasping at random anti-parasitics as some sort of miracle cure when (if you're over the age of the 12 and in the US) you can literally walk into any pharmacy and get a real miracle cure for free.

The baseline reaction I'm seeing from commenters is appalling. This drug has been shown to NOT be particularly dangerous in clinical trials, while having a biochemical effect on amyloid protein buildup, which has strong correlations with degenerative brain diseases. It's another tool in the arsenal. There's no evidence that it cures one of the worst diseases around, but that shouldn't be the requirement for whether the public (only after having it prescribed by a medical doctor, mind you), has access to a drug.

How can you be pro-Marijuana and then not trust doctors to have another tool in their arsenal? The FDA should exist to prevent fraud and monitor quality, and nothing else. In this case, it would be highly reasonable to restrict the claims of the drug based on the study. But to ban it? What gives you or them the right to protect people from themselves?
I really respect this build, the only thing that I don’t like is the power consumption at idle of ~50 Watt. I understand that this is probably due to the used NICs but still.

It might almost be interesting to setup a second router (a Pi4 might do) for regular casual internet usage + VRRP and only turn on this beast when more bandwidth is required.

The 25Gbit machine would be the VRRP master and the Pi4 the slave.
Need a lot more power then that to handle 2x 1GB/s connections.
I mostly rely on audio turn by turn walking directions (in London) and was surprised how bad Google Maps was. For example, it would give directions like “head south on High Street” as if I know which way south is?

Apple Maps isn’t perfect but I can just about rely on audio for navigating (and the occasional glance for everything else)
But the whole point is the among children bit.
IME, there are far more anxiety issues with “kids today” than there were before turn of century. IMO, this is not a mysterious phenomenon - kids take adults seriously, and adults have been involving kids in political awareness to a degree that is evidently unhealthy. Talking about how the world will end because of climate change, the end of democracy, COVID will kill everyone who goes outside. Adults hear this and either bin the talk as hyperbole or the testimony of certifiable wingnuts, but kids tend to internalize this stuff, hearing hyperbole as serious prediction. We wonder why kids are full of anxiety - try sheltering kids more from the kind of BS that circulates on infotainment news channels. There’s time enough for kids to become world weary and wise; help them to enjoy carefree living while they’re children and you might get more confident and less anxious kids out of it.
Interesting. I think my dad having his own interests and hobbies (cars, woodworking, etc) that he was conspicuously excited about, could teach and share with me in limited ways, etc. was a big part of the person I became and of my relationship with him.

If he had given up those passions to just interact with me 24x7 I think I would have felt a little suffocated.

Upstream on cable like that will be sub 50 Mbps because they're very intentionally only using a small number of rf channels on the coax for upstream. This is why in my opinion docsis3 is putting lipstick on a pig and is only a short term stop gap solution. The better end state is proper SM fiber to each house.
My only regret is that we can’t have more.
> I expect Linux audio to converge

That's what alsa, JACK, and pulse said. That's what they all said, except perhaps OSS, because nothing proceeded it.
True but at least they are kind of partnering with different companies and keeping additional ecosystems alive. Like using DDG for example.

Here's the thing. I used to be an extreme introvert by all standards, and preferred being alone. Social interaction was extremely tiring. Now I'm comfortable both with people and alone.

However, the real question is why it was tiring. It was tiring because I wasn't comfortable, it wasn't second nature. It took extra effort, just like all other the things we do that we aren't good at doing. When it eventually became easier and took less effort, it naturally also became less tiring.

I wish we could just stop with the stupid binary introvert/extrovert terminology. It's on the same pseudo-scientific level as saying people are left-brained or right-brained, people aren't that binary or simple.

If I, 10 years ago, had just said to myself "I'm an introvert, social interactions aren't my thing and they make me tired" I'd likely be significantly less happy than I'm now.
This is the worst possible example of why right-to-repair is a good idea. Even Apple does not repair AirPods, because they’re not engineered to be serviceable.

I know you’re just trolling, but for the benefit of the reader: https://www.businessinsider.com/eric-adams-defund-the-police...

> In an interview with New York Magazine published Tuesday, Adams said the "defund the police" movement is led not by people of color in the Big Apple, but rather by young white professionals.

Adams is absolutely correct. He ran on a common-sense approach to policing, and won every non-white constituency in NYC. Maya Wiley supported defunding and her base was affluent white professionals: https://nypost.com/2021/07/04/nyc-mayor-race-shows-its-well-...

> But despite her leftish credentials, Wiley won only 22 percent of first-choice votes. She carried no assembly districts in Manhattan or The Bronx and none with large black percentages.

Calling criticism of defunding the police “racist” is an classic example of how left-wing white people (and non-whites platformed mainly by white people, whether in the media or academic) invoke the moral authority of purporting to speak people of color to push their own agendas.

Can you explain to me the context in which an unenforceable right has meaning?

I think by any definition, a right without a remedy is meaningless. If you have a right to expression but the state taxes printing presses so excessively that only the rich can print, what good is that right?

If you have the right to an attorney but cannot afford one or the cops won't let that attorney talk to you, what good is that right? If you go to trual and they say, "it's fine, your attorney is here, representing you" and you've never seen that person before in your life, that's what we call a kangaroo court.

Many would agree that you have a right to rebel if someone tries to enslave you. How did that work out for Nat Turner? These rights matter in an idealistic way? Was that Nat Turner's goal? To get 21st century people really thinking? Or did he want a family he could keep with him, his own home, his own food?

We are used to telling ourselves over and over the stories of people who believed in their rights, fought and won them. We conspicuously ignore the stories of people who believed in their rights, fought and lost and then were not just denied their rights but made into villains.

And don't even get me started on Operation Paper Clip, U.S. intelligence supported Nazi rat lines and Nuremberg.

Perhaps if you believe there is some philosophical cosmic central plexus where your case will be adjudicated after death you can believe in capital R "Rights". I do not. And so in my opinion, all rights depend on the right to enforce them.

You are correct. Check out Directpointe for insight into the ClearOS’s founders earlier ventures. They used ClarkConnect on a few of their customers tech stacks as well.
It doesn't need to be transported, but it's interesting to consider how it could be. When you make hydrogen you can get several bites at the apple: storing that hydrogen near the point of generation, transporting the hydrogen in a pipeline, and storing it again at the end of the pipeline. This is what's done with natural gas, and it allows pipelines to be sized for average rather than peak loads, even in the face of unsteady supply and demand. The cost of making the hydrogen is amortized over all three use cases. Compare this to electricity, where batteries and energy conversion would be needed at both ends of a transmission line.

Probably the appalling upfront profit motive driving it. Yeah, I think thats probably it.
Myers-Briggs obviously doesn't represent some fundamental truth about how personalities vary, but I'm willing to bet that no matter how you ask people questions about themselves there will be useful conclusions to draw. Certainly some people are more sociable than others, some more detail-oriented than others, and vary on any other traits you care to name. Given that they are all probably hopelessly correlated with each other, and with whatever variables are actually controlling things underneath, it would be difficult to come up with a test that didn't say something.

On a far more speculative note, I bet most of the complex parts of the brain don't vary much between people, or at least don't play into personality much. That's not backed up by anything though, just an idle thought.
Without any stakes in the game, Intellij IDEA does a pretty good job at integrating the application being written with the db schemas it uses.

When prices truly reflect the effects of large amounts of renewables on the grid, nuclear will be screwed. That's because prices will usually be very low (or even negative), and occasionally spike. This is an environment that is quite hostile to expensive baseload sources. Fossil fuels would beat nuclear for exploiting those spikes, even with insanely high CO2 taxes ($1000/ton, say).
