> busses, at least, obey the same traffic laws the cars have to obey, e.g. they cannot run red lights or drive against traffic on a one way street. Even not counting the suboptimal route, a bus will always be slower than a car, it's just physics.

Have you ever sat in traffic? I used to commute downtown Portland and driving took 1 hour during rush hour but taking the bus took 30 minutes AND I didn't have to park AND I got to read instead of curse at other drivers. Driving will always be faster when traffic is good but as we all know, traffic gets pretty bad in most places and would be much worse if it wasn't for alternative transit modes. Here is a good example of this working: https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=https:/...

Watch that video and then tell me driving is still faster because of physics

> But I see that your suggestion is actually to degrade the infrastructure to the point that you need to spend a lot of time to park. That's quite an "improvement"

Yes actually. I want wider sidewalks, bike paths, parklets, gardens, housing, and shops over automobile parking infrastructure for people who don't even live in my neighborhood.

Proprietary practices, trade secrets and transparent data don't gel so well with recycling. Beautiful charts and bold claims of future state however do. But don't take my word on it. Rachel Maddow use to work in the recycling industry. Hard to find the article these days but she lays out some truth about the recycling industry she worked in. Bottom line; It takes an enormous amount of resources and energy to recycle most things. At least this video tries to honor that truth a little.

> It's important to understand that App Review is not consistently nitpicky but rather randomly nitpicky.

This has been my experience as well. A long time ago, my company had an iOS communications app that we'd occasionally white-label for different clients (about 7, in total). The only changes to the apps were the color palette and the name/logo that appeared on the login page.

For whatever reason, we were never able to release the white label for the 4th client. All other versions sailed through review, with the occasional holdup because the terms of service web page linked in the app was part of a web site which, through its navigational elements, would allow one to sign up for our service online. This is against Apple terms if you don't also allow sign up in the app. We were usually able to get this resolved because it wasn't actually a sign-up form, but a form to request more information from our sales team.

For that 4th white label, that "sign-up page" became an issue we could never resolve. Our app was for enterprises, so a per-user purchase/sign-up in the app didn't make sense. We tried to move the terms of service and other required pages to their own web site with no links to anything on our company web page, but that was disallowed because it didn't link to our company web page. Apparently the only allowed solution was remove the request info page from our corporate web site.

In the end, we simply resubmitted as a new app and it was approved without issue.
But links often go there as well
Many times those managers are not responsible for the contractual obligation either. It's one of those comedy of errors type situations where no one single group is fully responsible but put all the decisions together and bad things result.
In this model there are already three different command lines to run the thing in three different modes. Deployment complexity of moving that decision one notch left to buildtime instead of startup time seems like it doesn’t increase the accidental complexity at all.

In fact now you can eliminate variation in how your three different processes are started up and health checked and monitored, so instead of code that knows how to operate three different things, you have code that knows how to start and operate an arbitrary thing, and you parameterize it with your three different containers.

Oh hey - that’s what kubernetes is for.

Maybe all this ‘complexity’ of tooling isn’t dumb after all.

Speaking of horrible web design, care to add a bit of contrast to your grey text on off-white page?
Thank you. "Reading the first part of the present paper, the Topological DL would instead move beyond the idea of "pairwise relation". -- interesting. It seems to make sense intuitively, given difficulties in GNNs, to look at a higher order representations -- which may lead to understanding the underlying graph properties too. But I had assumed that such higher orders of graph would be part of the GNN learning process, even representations that are not really "human mathematically understood yet".

That is also interesting me regarding Geometric Deep Learning, which got some hype and interest recently, and seemed like a good start for more formal representation of different deep learning models (finding connections and mathematical steps between the model zoo). Something more mathematically rigorous does seem needed to truly make informed engineering improvements and scientific understanding.

"silos as plumbing"
We should approach animal intelligence and communication with humility.

A lot of it is based on smell, body language, and signals we don't pay attention to. I don't think any animal has been shown to tell stories, but obviously they share information in other ways. Only a handful of individuals have demonstrated some kind of ability to understand a story (macaws and koko the gorilla).

For anybody interested in animal intelligence, that's the focus of my newsletter.
Kind of a strange question - what do you mean by "turn into movies"?

Like an AI will just take random novel X, and use technology to make a full-length feature film out of it, complete with sound effects, visual FX, music, etc...at the press of a button?

Or do you mean it will take a novel, figure out the plot, important events, salient points, etc... and make a feasible rough draft of a script or screenplay?

The latter will happen much earlier than the former - I would guess that numerous Hollywood studios are using that sort of tech already as a drafting tool or something along those lines.

There's also some sort of writer's strike happening at the moment in the face of this new tech, so I'm sure a lot of studio execs are chomping at the bits to be able to downsize their writing teams (for both TV and for Film) and still retain the same productive output.

This sounds great! Can you share the code?
For me it's more that hopefully I don't need to worry about being hugged or randomly hit by a driveby DDOS. If my service were popular to have a high sustained load, that would be great, but it's more just having some decent capacity to avoid spikes that $20/mo/team member just seems like a decent deal.

The bigger plus is the temp environments, that free up a lot of developer time in my experience; they solve a lot of boring, time-heavy communication problems. A pull request can just spin up a temp environment which a designer can eyeball at the same time as the code is being reviewed. Means less rework.
It depends on the configuration.

One can set pm.max-requests=1 and have the process respawn per request.

And the main point still stands: If a request manages to crash a php-fpm child process, other requests are unaffected and another process is spawned to replace the crashed one.
End-to-end implies traffic between individuals. So for instance WhatsApp can't read your messages but the end recipient can. That said, my bank did try to reassure me they had end-to-end encryption for my web access. It's not the same thing.

Think about it from the websites perspective. If you visit their website and leave without "converting" in any sense then why are they serving you? It's like do you get annoyed when servers leave a bill on your way out of the restaurant? Content sites are just trying to reacclimate people to recognizing that they just provided value. Ads are worth less than ever so they need to a relationship to milk. Emails are cheap.

"If “the rule of seven” — that a customer needs to interact seven times before buying — is marketing 101, why does the site demand a newsletter conversion before a new user has even finished reading one article?"

This seems to really misunderstand things - if the customer has hit your website because they came to one of your SEO-optimized blog articles, there is a very solid chance they're not going to stumble upon your site again. The point of the newsletter conversion is to give you a chance to get those seven interactions.
I guess it depends where the retreat is held. And how long the commute is to get there.

Taking my house as an example - I'm ~1 hour from the city center (assuming no major delays). If the retreat ended up downtown, I'd hate that. If it was on the far side of the city, I'd want to stay overnight. But, if the retreat was at the corporate office, I'd love it - as that's one mile down the road and I can walk.
Because most content has people speaking way too slow and it is boring, leads to distraction and hurts comprehension. It costs significant effort to concentrate on something that is too slow, which can easily be avoided by speeding it up. It's not about consuming more, it's about matching my comprehension speed and avoiding distraction.

The statement only observed a bad thing. It did not advocate or even hint at some other bad thing as a proposed solution.

Putting words into someone else's mouth is worse even than whatever they might have said if they had actually said it.

It's an actual wrondoing that you did vs a fabricated wrongdoing you accused someone else of doing.
to be fair to your boss, you can't actually make me click on your link or read your newsletter. Delivering it is the only thing that you actually have control over, and you're probably delivering to one of those gmail purgatory folders anyways.
You could make the argument that if you read the content for free, but cannot even be bothered to be asked for your email (you don't have to provide it!), then there is probably not much lost either for the site or for you if you never visit the site again.

Huh? Have you just ignored the last decade of news? China is mostly certainly genocidal. They've put Uyghurs in concentration camps and sterilized them. The question, is why are you apologizing for them and pretending this didn't happen?
You’re business owner. But there is whole cohort of middle managers, that need to justify their existence walking in the office and watching over the shoulders as well as asking project status reports. Corporate world also needs to build offices or architectural monuments stating, they are very profitable and can afford that. See it’s lots about egos and not always about economics.
I don’t want to use unsolicited synchronous interfaces ever. For any reason.
> If “the rule of seven” — that a customer needs to interact seven times before buying — is marketing 101, why does the site demand a newsletter conversion before a new user has even finished reading one article?

This has happened because Google, Facebook, Youtube and other walled gardens have locked up the online audience. If you clicked on a site, chances are you discovering it via one of the above. And chances are, you'll never see that site again if you close the tab. So that's the 'rule of 7' out the window right there.

If the popup converts even one person, that's better than it not being there at all.

"Yeah, but it's so annoying, I'll never subscribe via these tactics!" Congratulations, you are part of the rare few that know how the sausage is made. You probably also know that these modals aren't there for UX designers to praise or Substack to quake in their boots. They're there to convert.
I didn't know him personally, so I wish I could say I had some firsthand experience. Rumor-wise, there was every story you can imagine. The guy loved the spotlight and was personally bankrolling something that was simultaneously a VC fund and an urban revitalization project, so obviously opinions went all over the board. In the end, he was a Burning Man kind of guy with huge amounts of money, vision and risk tolerance. Put that way, maybe it's not a shock that after the Downtown project collapsed he built a tiny little Bioshock-y dystopia for his clique, and blasted himself stupid with whip-its until he died. And maybe there's a better parallel universe somewhere in which the project succeeded and the right people came around him, and in that timeline's 2023, every billionaire there is cribbing notes about how to recreate what he did in their own city. Neither story is all that inconsistent from what I saw from my very, very distant vantage point as a lowly tech guy at the fringes of the whole thing.
Do they lobby much? I vaguely remember a bunch of silliness about trying to figure out the Queen’s preferences around Brexit based on the brooch she was wearing or something like that…

True, but the hot pixels you see in the CCD isn't from bit flips. Rather the CCD is properly doing its job of collecting electrons. It's just that spurious electrons are being produced by the cosmic rays' ionization trail (as opposed to photoelectron in normal operation).

Why do you think it's profitable? It makes for a decent chunk of Alphabet's income, but they don't break down costs so we have no way of knowing exactly how much it costs to store and seemlessly deliver zettabytes of video.
>If I had to guess, I think it might be related to people’s experience in school/college.

I am not so sure on that. But I have seen similar throughout my years. More and more I am coming to the conclusion this is one of those "some people are wired a certain way, others are not". I have seen plenty of highly "educated" folks lacking terribly in skillsets. I have seen the same for those with no education.

As an instructor as well, it skews similar with the students I have seen. Some just have a "fire" and work through issues, others will just give up at the first sign of issue (I am talking "I couldnt figure out key based auth, so i did nothing".

I have tried to get folks to take personal ownership in products and deliverables, to varying degrees of success. In the past I was ardently against "silos" of responsibility but ultimately this led to some taking no ownership stake in any products. So we have had to transition to "assigning" primary, secondary, tertiary responsibility to services/products. This helped a little bit but also led to some then just bringing in personal excuses.

Ultimately I have come to the conclusion that folks have varying capacity for load/projects and how much they are simultaneously work/support. As well as varying capacity to be able to work indepedantly vs need more guidance/check-ins on stuff. I try and cater to whats needed to get the most out of them and understand not everyone is a rockstar that can just take a challenge and come back with solutions. Even still, it can be tricky managing that withing intra-team dynamics.
After such a long and storied history in electronics, Philips should be embarrassed to let itself turn into just a healthcare company -- and one with these kind of quality problems.

Philips doesn't make foam (or much of anything anymore). What do you bet this was caused by outsourcing cheap materials (foam + adhesives + whatever plastics are in there) that decompose when placed together. And, as just designer and brander of the device (you know they don't manufacture these, either), they didn't do much testing or chemical compatibility work?

And this is a medical device.

Apologies - read the ‘Ruby monolith’ up top and then glossed over the code without noticing the language mismatch. Mondays, am I right?

I don’t understand how bundling three sets of functionality into one binary reduces build time or artifact size.

Surely the binary containing all the web and pubsub and scheduled tasks is strictly bigger than the binary for just the web would be, and takes longer to build and test that the binary for just the web?
The algorithm that YouTube uses to suggest videos to me is really good.

Whatever mechanism is used to select the ads to show me seems like a stubborn practical joke - it is appalling. And I'd love to know why it likes to show me ads for commercial products (such as accountancy software) when I watch on my Apple TV but completely different nonsense on my other Apple devices.
I think this is a very pragmatic and common sense approach to getting the most out of a monolith.

Whether there is 1 binary or N binaries I think really depends on context of the code, and is more of an implementation detail than something vital.

I evaluated Bullet Train last year when building an MVP for a client. Ended up using Jump Start Rails instead. Main reasons:

1. The hybrid approach to iOS and Android apps with JSR were better than what BT had to offer

2. There was a lot less to learn about the mental model of how JSR was built via Bullet Train. It was basically pay, pull down, configure, and get going with JSR. BT has things like SuperScaffolding, an abstraction layer on CanCanCan, etc. I didn't want to have to ramp up on those to decide whether they were better than the alternatives.

YMMV of course. JSR is a paid app and IIRC BT was at the time too... but looks like maybe not anymore?

> some sorta coordination between state actors

There's no smoky backroom where Biden and Macron and Sunak and Scholz sit in high-back leather chairs with glasses of whisky scheming about how to counter each threat to their power (with their super-secret puppeteers present only as a grim silhouette in the shadows, or maybe as an unexpected call at a climactic moment).

The only coordination that exists at the level of these superpowers is systemic, caused and communicated purely by a commonality of incentives and threats, not by words.

Every government wants power. One obvious means to achieve that is to retain an ability to surveil their populace. They grew accustomed to growth of this ability as communication shifted from whispered conversations to physical letters to telegrams to analog telephones to unencrypted Internet communication; now the ability of ordinary citizens to trivially encrypt their communication is a major setback to that expectation.

The timing of it is merely coincidental, or at most coordinated by the cross-border technological developments.
