>Why would you bury your navigation on your (hypothetical) marketing site in the footer on mobile?

I've been on some sites where the hamburger menu was atrocious and/or unhelpful.

When I encounter this, I will often just scroll to the bottom, where a lot of templates will put the "sitemap" stuff, usually with more descriptive text, so I can then find what I'm looking for.

It's not ideal, but people design mobile sites as if they're applying for a graphic designer job. Mobile design has become "smoosh it till it fits," and it just doesn't work well. It's a small screen, operated by a meatsack with a single giant thumb, who is probably driving 127 mph through a suburban neighborhood. It's a lot more than just "flow the three columns into one" kind of problem.
The first sale doctrine that libraries rely on doesn't exist for digital media, so how would you propose build a "morally acceptable" digital library?

* You can't do it by just buying ebooks because those don't come with distribution rights. This is essentially what zlib does, albeit with ebooks "donated" by others.

* You can't do it with interlibrary loan for the same reason.

* You can't do it by buying a distribution license because some of the largest publishers simply don't sell those.

* You can't do it by purchasing physical books and scanning them into digital equivalents ala controlled digital lending. Internet archive tried that.

The current situation today requires either paying perpetual, recurring licensing fees on every single ebook or piracy. If all we have is the former, libraries will never be able to stock anything beyond a small collection of topical books, as is already the case at most local libraries.

I agree, but aside from it being seen as "cool", what drives some engineers to go microservice first architecture is having experienced the inability of an organization to acknowledge that they actually do need to re-write a monolith as two or more services or undergo a general re-architecting of the monolith. Getting buy-in from the business is extremely difficult as clearly communicating the actual effort and impact that re-architecting the monolith would require is nearly impossible. This is usually due to poor separation of domains via lack of modules within the monolith, spaghetti code, circular or other strange dependency trees, tables with relationships or data that should never have existed in those tables, and a whole other set of other bizarre issues that were due to lack of planning and general discipline by engineers along the way.

If you have a microservice first architecture, the perception is, it's easier to describe effort to re-write an individual service or split it into two services as there is a clearly delineated body of work. Bizarre service-to-service dependencies may still exist and a poorly implemented microservice architecture is still a potential challenge.

Point being, organizations incentivize bad economic decisions on the part of engineers through the inability to recognize that rework is a necessary aspect of developing software and by constantly eschewing rework in favor of feature delivery it sends a strong message to the engineer about what to prioritize.

I don't follow your point. "Dark" is obviously a much broader word that can mean many different things. It is less precise than "deceptive" and here it's being used metaphorically while "deceptive" is straightforward and literal (albeit less poetic).

Surely you would agree that someone encountering the term out of context would have a much harder time guessing what "dark patterns" means versus "deceptive patterns"?

Spot prices don't directly reflect capacity. EC2 Spot used to be a real spot market, with actual real auctions where higher bids displaced lower bids.

But it was changed a while ago, so prices are now set algorithmically based on predicted demand/supply.

We run stateless calculations on EC2 across regions, and we definitely see that instances are harder to come by. Especially instances with GPUs. And for many instance types, the price advantage of EC2 Spot compared to committed spending is not significant anymore.

I don't really see how progressive enhancement works if every element is a hypermedia control. Without JS/HTMX you just have a page that does nothing:

<div hx-get="/example">Get Some HTML</div>

This will never do anything without HTMX because the semantic of that markup is wrong. You'd really have to write everything in a vanilla HTML approach to begin with, and never make use of the idea of adding hypermedia to other elements.
> Spot instances are underpriced, as most tenants underestimate their tolerance for preemption or overestimate its likelihood.

> In reality, instance preemption is rare in most instance families

I have often seen the following:

1. The demand for spot instances increases for a period of time.

2. Supply is inelastic so prices quickly rise to the full bid amounts.

3. Most users are unwilling to go hours without any spot instances running, so they use very high bids.

You either have to tolerate hours of "down time" every few months, or pay exorbitant prices during once in a while.

On multiple occasions, I've seen the spot instances priced significantly higher than on-demand.

EDIT: Apparently AWS changed the Spot pricing a few years ago though. My anecdotes are 5 years old.
I have always been a huge proponent of Waymo and obviously Tesla doesn't have something comparable to them now.

But if you look at videos of recorded Tesla autopilot drives on Youtube you will see a huge amount of success in terms of getting people to their destination without crashing or killing anyone. And there is constant gradual improvement.

If Tesla can get another 2-3% improvement, they may actually be able to launch a robotaxi service. The trick will probably be that you need to have a driver's license and sit in the front seat at first. But after X months they will probably allow sitting in the back, especially for certain vetted trip regions.
First, you should never trust the client.

I wonder if part of the issue is that FDA approval implies Medicare coverage, which is expensive. And so as a pragmatic matter the FDA slows approval for financial reasons. I don't know if it works at all like this, but the thought did come to mind.

I was wondering if this could be a contributing factor. There is almost unlimited demand for training models - and a lot of value to derived from doing so - and it seems like a perfect workload for spot.
It’s analogous to the idea that there are no original thoughts (which is quickly obviously false).

To the parent’s question: on some kind of margin I think it would lead to more derivative work, but the net effect would still be novel creative output by a human. (I read the original idea as using the model as inspiration as much as a producer.)

> Why complicate browsers even more?

To simplify it for normal people. My family all use browser extensions to block ads/tracking and shore up security because I set it all up for them. My non-technical friends don't. They understand video game mods because adding mods is fun. But the idea of modding other kinds of programs makes no sense to them, because those are for getting work done, not for tinkering with.

So in order for it take off, it needs to be presented as just a native feature of the web. In people's heads, the logic should go like: "My email software lets me forward emails. My calendar software lets me invite people to calendar events. My contact software lets me merge duplicate contacts. My web browser lets me annotate web pages with other people. What a strange world it would be if things didn't work like that?"

A state government inhibiting that choice for minors, which is a well-established practice for all sorts of things. Alcohol consumption, tobacco, driving a car, voting in elections, gambling, and ability to enter into certain types of contracts, to name a few.
Prime combinatorics - I think every programmer independently discovers the technique. You can also determine if a shorter word can be made from a longer word, e.g. "cat" from "catch", by looking for modulo results.

And the technique of Prime Combinatorics for an "alphabet" can be used to solve Poker hands, Blackjack hands, Match 3 puzzle games, slot machine reel positions, and a slew of other similar problems where you would ordinarily have to build a very complex logic table/switch-case/if-then-else decision tree.

I hold no hatred for TikTok, but I don’t get your argument at all.

You’re comparing TikTok and HN in terms of entertainment value.

Parent comment is highlighting that there are more factors to consider if you want to seriously compare the two.

Wanting TikTok gone is not like wanting HN gone, unless you believe that the only thing that matters about TikTok is its entertainment value.

The entertainment value is what makes it a valuable strategic asset to the PRC. But judging it only on that entertainment value is the kind of logic that leads to acceptance of bills like the EARN IT act.

The underlying details matter, not just the entertainment value or supposed safety claims.

eBay’s Fast Billion-Scale Vector Similarity Engine
Porsche/Bugatti ‘partnership’ was actually a large investment venture and major restructuring of the company into multiple subsidaries with a complex ownership and hierarchy. I’ll be convinced it’s valuable when something of value comes out of that venture.

On the contrary, I am not bringing their internal mindset and intentions into question at all, as I do posses some non-public details on how the company operates internally. Afterall, I mentioned in a few places, I sincerely root for that company.

However, relying on a fastest EV badge for 10 years and making some sales is not nearly enough for company of that size to take on another hit and wait project. And public data they release year after year consisting of promises and plans, but ‘keeping’ success stories, achievements and breakthroughts for themselves is enough to know it’s not a good sign.

Investors will wait for their ROI only for so long.
I've had access in SF for the past few months and have been really impressed! The Waymo rides I've taken have been confident + a bit conservative (e.g. driving at the speed limit when traffic is flowing more quickly), but overall the team's done a great job with the experience. It's free for now so I've been using it regularly during commuting/rush hour and casual drives. Some quick thoughts:

Advantages over Uber/Lyft:

- Privacy - having the car to yourself is nice!
- Safety - My friends who are women have almost universally said they feel uncomfortable taking Ubers/Lyfts at night and would prefer the Waymo
- Ride matching happens almost instantly
- Estimated pickup times are consistently accurate
- Trunk is open for use and the car will prompt you to grab your items and open the trunk at the end of a ride
- Extra legroom in backseat because there's no driver
- No driver/car confusion - you can set your initials to be displayed on top of the car at pickup

Parity with Uber/Lyft:

- Drives surprisingly confidently/well - can handle complex urban traffic, pedestrians, cyclists without doing anything obviously "dumb"
- First-class native app experience
- Rides are priced upfront
- Rides can be multi-stop

Disadvantages (today) vs Uber/Lyft:

- Driving is conservative - nothing above the speed limit
- Driving is sometimes a little bit jerky (e.g. at stop signs, while inching on a right turn at a red light)
- Routes can sometimes be odd / longer (usually within 25% of the most direct route)
- Rarely (<5% rides), car will stop for pickup somewhere odd (middle of lane when there's an available curb, right turn lane)
- No driver if you leave something behind (there's a support form online, but I left my phone once and a good samaritan happened to call using the emergency number)
- Pickup times can be longer today than Uber/Lyft as they roll out more cars

Honestly, if they fix the occasional indirect routing and eventually are able to let the cars flow at the same speed as traffic, I'd pick the Waymo almost every time.
If you're looking for recommendations, one option is the XC40 Recharge, which comes in at 175".

But I agree they are getting so unnecessarily long. Not just in the car length, but also in the wheelbase. The Ioniq 5 (compact SUV / hatchback) has a longer wheel base (118") and thus worse turning radius than a Toyota 4Runner SUV (110"). Makes it a nightmare for city driving & parking.
Except it’s not a broad overview of the subject, it’s little factoids that equate bad behavior with other bad behavior, except there are many substantial difference which are neglected in the conversation.

It is a relevant question to wonder what prompted the concerns and bills… is it national security of is it economics? That’s not what’s being questioned, and even then there’s no good basis to know so it’s hard to go anywhere other than conspiracy theory.

I actually fully buy that both are plausible and likely, but I have no basis for the economics other than Meta’s lobbying. But the whataboutism always shifts away the conversation from the moment at hand by dismissing it all as something that meta/google do. We can at face value look at the risks of TikTok doing it and understand that they’re maybe legitimate national security concerns. By broadening, we end up just ignoring this completely.

I have noticed the copy cats. The concern from congress has been what can the CCP know via TikTok; not what can TikTok know as an independent entity. I personally do see the control of information and the knowledge of attention being a national security risk, which is unfortunate as I think they have the better product.

But the decision to build an architectural icon didn't end problems - it started new ones. The most bizarre was with the U.S. Navy. In 1998, it refused to let Caltrans onto Yerba Buena Island to finish its engineering work. The Navy's issue was whether the Bridge would overshadow the one-time home of Admiral Chester Nimitz, a hero of World War II.

"We had to come up with a design where we wouldn't cast a shadow down onto that particular property," Ney explained, with the Nimitz home in the background and directly next to the new span. "We had to make sure that the bridge snugged up close enough to the existing one so that we weren't coming over the top of Admiral Nimitz' house."

Market dominance would still allow for it to be profitable.

Surely the government has an interest in financially incentivising this development. Especially given a decrease in road wear and tear, lower climate impact and surely any number of other benefits.
I always considered them mostly synthetic, with some external human-like features. That would change things for me, but I think probably the most interesting you said was the final sentences.

My question to you then would be: how would you know for sure that a transistor/digital ”being” is actually suffering, and not just mimicking human suffering in order to fulfill whatever internal cost-minimizing process it follows? And by the way what does it even mean to suffer, concretely and unambiguously? For example, a breakup or a job loss causes people to suffer, but certainly we are not going to prohibit them.

And what if we make them unable to feel pain, would it then be acceptable…?
I stumbled upon this gem randomly.

The problem: where are you getting literally any of this from? You’ve hopped up like 4 chains of unfounded assumptions.
Yup, I very much liked the broader approach of solving the general problem, but this actually seems to be doing better.

The general problem has insane amounts of edge cases, and is basically trying to do a pole-vault-height high jump; if you succeed, you own the world (or at least can automatically drive anywhere on it), but until then, you and your customers have lots of problems.

Meanwhile, the approach of map-everything-down-to-the-centimeter and keep it updating is making real practical progress. The question is whether it'll ever get out of cities? While storage is constantly getting cheaper, but is it feasible to map and update the maps sufficiently for a cross-country trip?

Still, there's an awful lot of city territory that can be covered with genuinely useful service.
If you received the stocks from someone who died and devised them to you, your basis will be the fair market value at the time of death and you will not owe taxes.

Or you can, by using marketing, exactly the strategy auto manufacturers in the USA used to push SUVs, SUVs that conveniently skirted emissions regulations which smaller cars were required to fulfill.

Interesting how your definition of dystopian is exactly what marketing/PR has been invented to do, to change the minds of people about what are their "needs".
