Google has entered the rot phase of the big corp cycle.
Also guessing this is cross platform and runs in the browser :)
The author notes that Google does seem to be leaning in to the sector where they really make a lot of sense, hotels. I'm going to Delhi for work next week and how I picked a hotel was going to maps, zooming out from the venue a bit, and letting hotel pins appear.

> I don't know whether the business owner lived there

This is almost always the reason. Either they're a mobile business or their data source picked up the business owner's address rather than the business address from the local government DB.
I'm pretty sure you could use AI these days, to replicate the accuracy of Google Anything.

And there isn't a paid review staff, people who filter maybe, but Google doesn't review anything.

I think it is the other way around.
Programming languages adopted the characters that are available on US Intl.
> perhaps dramatically improved

The only thing which has "dramatically improved" is the reshufling of GUI elements and the passive agressive warnings covering half of the screen which you cannot dismiss.
I agree, the world still doesn't really care about science. And yet everyone's living lives that are all the more better because of science.

It's a human problem, we only care about what happens to us or our tribe and most of our focus is not very forward looking. We're better than other animals as evolution favoured us looking just a little more forward than other animals, but now we have to escape the timekeeping of our meaty flesh and think "if we dump money into science then this generation will get some cool stuff and the next will get a shit tonne of cool stuff".
In practice, I type those characters on their own much more often than I type them for French characters, so having to press more keys for the French ones makes more sense than the other way around.

There's also the fact that I have to type those characters in places where I don't have fancy entry systems (drive unlock passwords, rescue environments), while I don't type French in those places, so it also makes more sense for muscle memory.
In Berlin, Google Maps shows bike share and scooter clusters on the same layer as public transport. Searching for a bus or tram stop with all that noise is punishing. Also the icons for the bus and bike are very similar at the default zoom level. You have to zoom in constantly to differentiate and inevitably it's a marker for Donkey Republic or nextbike, instead of the bus. They don't even mark actual docking stations. It's just sidewalk areas. I assume those companies had access to a bulk map update API and just claimed spots all over the city. The result is a mess.
Yeah but to be fair, it's a bit gnarly to get set up and it can't do interactive graphs.

Don't get me wrong, I love org babel but there are some advantages of the browser based approach.
One option is to completely ban openai’s crawler ip addresses. They steal content without credit anyway - as most ai companies do - so there’s no benefit in allowing them access.
> If you carefully, tediously work by hand some calculations such as addition, multiplication, or division (but not, say, square roots, exponentials, or sines, since there are no generally known methods for computing those by hand), you may be able to replicate some specific results of the computer without needing to learn anything new.

Adding 0.1 and 0.2 to get 0.3 is hardly advanced mathematics.

> Otherwise, the results will appear to manifest as just some inaccuracy incurred after every operation, just the same as with binary floating point.

Perhaps, but it will be a comprehensible inaccuracy. Running out of decimal places is a well-known and understood phenomenon, and something already experienced with regular calculators.
My experience with Ubiquiti has only been positive. Granted the largest deployment I have made with their AP's is from 2010 (60+ Aps + Cisco backend + PacketFence). A lot could have changed especially with vendor lock-in that the article points out. At my current work place we use 10 AP's with a mix of Cisco and HP gear for Core and Access layers and everything works ok.

Lack of street names and even house numbers in gmaps is the worst. OSM is getting better and better though I primarily use it for navigation, with gmaps to search for poi.

IMHO having an SQL language server they does only parsing, ie. validates only syntax, is a bit like a Java language server that does parsing only — ie. does not check whether e.g. a given variable/method actually exists or whether types match.

The schema is so integral to SQL — since it defines precisely the valid names and types — that a language server that isn't aware of this is of limited use in practice.
Are you talking about Germany? Google never stopped creating new images in Germany, they've just decided they would put the new images online (which they already did).
This is the equivalent of saying rsync + a VPS plus some scripts is an equivalent for Dropbox, IMO.

See the start of my original comment for why I don't want to use neovim (Im not spending hours configuring plugins and choosing between three subtly different LSP and treesitter plugins, then choosing a client and server for each). Setting that up involves (first changing editors), learning the details of my editors scripting language, the details of tree sitter, and coming up with a unique set of bindings that don't conflict with neovim's - no thanks.
The other way to get streetview is to turn it on as a layer on top of the map. You do that by hovering over the square on the bottom left. The most used layer is probably satellite imagery, but I occasionally use traffic and altitude lines as well.

compressing the empty lattice it is an idea he came up with.
Given the current situation, this is wishful thinking/a long way off. Nvidia is considerably better at letting people get the job done on consumer grade GPUs than AMD.
The issue of real journalism having to compete with sensationalist tabloids and clickbait is nothing new though. There was a time before all the blind rage turned against big tech when we actually found it problematic how much political influence media moguls like Murdoch, Berlusconi or Springer had accumulated.

Google and Facebook have syphoned off a lot of advertising income from these big publishers and they are leveraging their political clout to make politicians pass laws that have nothing to do with journalism and everything to do with serving the special interests of a few powerful publishers.

Yes the fact that too much money stays with Google and Facebook rather than funding serious journalism is a problem. But these laws are not supposed to fix that and they are not fixing it. It's just corruption.
I hate that the patent system went from engineers patenting a working, proven idea to business a-holes patenting an "idea" then sitting on their butts waiting for an engineer somewhere to prove the idea so that they can raise their hand and say "I have the patent on that".

The modern patent system is despicable.
That is not a major issue by itself, just something to get used to.
However, it becomes an issue if you have to use multiple designs.

For example: Dell ships all their laptops with ANSI-layouts, but Logitech does not ship ANSI-layouts to Europe at all.

I ended up buying my Logitech keyboard on Ebay in the US, because I wanted my layouts to be identical.
Randomly filter a subset of responses to OpenAI through the smallest, barely functional LLM one can find, naturally.
I missed this comment, sorry for the late reply. A warranty system guarantees for free repairs or replacements but doesn't guarantee for a reliable product.

Plus choosing a $1000 for a 10-year warranty would be a very bad deal, since $500 guarantees you 5-year product, additional working time or ability to sell and repurchase of an improved version of a product. Minus could be inflation or less reliable product in the future.
> Since it's illegal in the US for undocumented people to get federal guaranteed home loans

No one made a claim about federally guaranteed home loans except you, and you can’t transfer a claim from home loans in general to federally guaranteed home loans, because the latter are only about half of the former. And actually the claim wasn’t even about home loans to start with, but about home ownership.
I'd argue that Ukraine, prior to the 2022 invasion, was an immense threat to the Russian government. Ukraine was a "brother nation" that had kicked out their dictator in 2014, in a revolution known locally as Maidan, and had since seen economic growth and lower inequality.

Unless Ukraine is suppressed by Russia* the Russian people may start to look at Ukraine as a role model for how to get rid of their own dictator.

*Still a possibility, the war is almost a stalemate right now.
the most questionable part of the attitude you describe is the construction of a self-image based on external validation instead of intrinsic authenticity. i'm sure even kafka had an ego and enjoyed the attention he got through his writing and maybe even had some literary heros but i would guess that the level of his infatuation was significantly lower than that of many people having grown up with social media. it just messes with one's personality if it is the result of reinforcement learning based on likes.
That would be a hilariously bad idea for them. Their business is based on fair use. The only way to enforce restrictions against scraping is through copyright law because obviously you can run the spidering code from any jurisdiction you want, so any law that says “thou shall not scrape” is toothless unless it acts through copyright. Any workable restrictions against using scraped data would also make ChatGPT illegal too.
I prefer the US international layout (with the standing return key) and it happens to be that the Dutch layout is just US international with a '€' sign printed on the '2' key as well. So I think I'm lucky in that regard.
There’s little to no incentive. The issue we cant seem to be able to prevent openai from stealing content.
The software vendor documentation, for sure.

But the book writer who wrote a detailed, expert book on how to deal with the software ("Photoshop for Dummies"?). OpenAI might be seen as a competitor.

A government would be easier to say all their data isn't allowed to be crawled, so they can sue later or just say no later on when they figure something classified was in there, or simply when they change their mind.

I believe the default response should be 'no, we'll look into it' for anyone, and then carefully let legal take a look at it (gonna be expensive). For the software vendor, too. Although their crown jewels are likely the source code to their product(s).
They could in theory combat it by comparing results with a second crawler that uses a different User Agent.
You really can’t conceive that this stuff might be useful information to someone who isn’t exactly you?

Ask HN: How does wi-fi and Bluetooth scanning feature work in Android?
How does wi-fi and Bluetooth scanning work and how does it consume battery? Does it always consume battery in the background or does it only work when there is an application that requests the scan. Google maps demand you have this feature on, but does keeping it on increase battery consumption significantly?
Twitter Delays Ad-Revenue Payouts for Blue Subscribers
Nice project. However it makes writing in some languages merely possible but not easy. For example Portuguese uses a lot of ã and õ, which are only available via dead keys. If I have to use dead keys anyway, then I'd rather use a Compose key, aptly mapped on the otherwise-useless Insert key.

Besides, Romanian language is not fully supported, lacking ț and ă, and Polish too, lacking ą and ę.
Probably just preference from experience, but whenever I see people trying to force ANSI layout with other char sets, or adding missing keys such as £ it just looks awful.

Though not as bad as UK Mac.
Just came to say that this is a very nicely set up C project, understandable structure and simple Makefile, very beginner friendly, congrats :)
I hope you meant to write something like "stumbled upon" ... otherwise you might want to reassess your noise detection.
One thing I don't quite get is why the proposal here is so insistent on triple quoted strings only. Shouldn't a \n formatted string also be considered valid? Its practically just a string after all.

Other than that, this isn't a bad proposal. Generally for single-file scripts, figuring out the imports isn't too difficult but you do have the occasionally weirdly named pypi package vs installed import package.
You need to uncheck `Ignore generic cosmetic filters` in uBO.
"Guessing the next token" is an interface, not an implementation. A transformer is a universal function approximator and is capable of learning the function "give the right answer" through this interface.

(Also, if you do beam search, it's not "the next token" but "the next tokens".)
I use US layout with Caps Lock mapped to toggle to my "native" layout. This way I can easily code without RSI-inducing combinations to get the frequently used {}[]\, and just tap caps when I'm writing emails without needing to retrain my muscle memory of where åäö are located.

On Windows there's also a setting to get each app to remember the selected keyboard layout (Set-WinLanguageBarOption -UseLegacySwitchMode) so I don't even need to switch most times.
Performance is adequate, security is up to the dev.
You won't start anything. I dare you. Haha.
You can't learn Clojure and you know it.
There’s some of everything into everything. The point is ratios and trajectory.
Doesnt exist on MacOS, so ill just try Eurkey layout now instead.

But anyway thanks for the tip, i never thought about just remapping the umlauts to the US layout, i am always switching between US/german until now.

This seems like a game changer, since the german layout is a huge pain to begin with, and the only thing i need from it anyway is umlauts and ß.
Amazing, runs great on iPhone even on the super resolution setting.
I understand the ads and everything else, I don't not enjoy it but I understand.

What I really don't get is the product is hiding a lot of stuff for no reason. Whenever I zoom in my neighbourhood: it doesn't display all the streets, some shops are missing even at maximum zoom, search is removing some results that should match my query, etc...

I have slowly lost trust in the products (except for navigation), it's still my main source but I usually double check with google search or apple map.
I saw this a couple of days ago somewhere and I think it belongs in the discussion between lazy-seqs and transducers: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waterbed_theory

You can't hide from complexity. It will lurk somewhere anyway.

The article complains about 'clutter' - but have you seen a traditional printed map like [1] ? Personally I find them beautiful, but it's a rather Jackson-Pollock-esque beauty.

One of the changes brought about by the digital mapping revolution was to allow much less visually complex maps.

> more modifiers and utilize the thumb for way more than the spacebar.

This is true of keyboards like the Moonlander, or the Planck (which is even smaller than OP's keyboard).

But, OP's keyboard has a big spacebar.

I reckon there are two families of "small keyboards": those with a big-spacebar, and those with multiple thumbkeys.

With the big spacebar, I feel vindicated to see the replies linked to say "I don't need F-keys because I don't use them frequently".

Whereas with the Planck, the Planck is as small as it is (as stated on the video on olkb.com) in order to minimize hand movement/stretching from home row.

Google Maps design is becoming less detailed over the years. It's really apparent when compared to OSM.
It is necessary to search for a lot of things in Google maps as they are otherwise not visible.
You can't really navigate off Google maps without turn-by-turn navigation.
I wonder whether this is a strategic drive from Google to make maps more like search to enable advertising or whether they truly think this is the superior user interface.

What is your take on that?
Last night I was cooking my dinner and I saw a horse fly die a horrible death. It flew through the burning gas, burned it's wings off, landed on the hot cook top and just lied there dying. I quickly dispatched it because it was the most humane thing I could imagine doing.

It reminded me how harsh the world can be and reading your comment resonated quite well with me after what I had witnessed. Are we the fly heading for the flame?

I think we like to think we're just going to be ok, we'll just be lucky, after all, it's just progress? We've not yet encountered doom...right? However, things really do go badly and it's a shame we don't actually think things through a little bit more before going full steam ahead into a situation where we might lose our wings and wind up on that hot plate. I do understand that it might mean we never end up like that fly as well...

I am quite neutral about AI progress but I do think your question is an important one, and I've yet to hear a compelling counter argument to the issue you've described. I guess the plan is we try improvise once Pandora's box has been smashed wide open?

All aboard, full steam ahead for progress at all costs captain!!!

If Process X Channel created this video themselves I don’t think this video is what you saw in WhatsApp years ago. Process X uploaded the video 4 days ago.
If I grab a copy of Adobe Photoshop (yeah, I know it runs in on a remote computer nowadays called 'the cloud') and I use it not to create the creative content its meant to be used for (manipulating cat pics, obviously) but to run it through IDA or Ghidra, or to study and use it to create a competitor (GIMP or make GIMP more like Photoshop) then even though I don't use it for its primary purpose; it is still copyright infringement.

Same with this crawling by bots (Google, Bing, Meta, OpenAI; doesn't matter). Jurisprudence on Google News and Google Cache seems to show citing is OK, if done in moderation. Remember: just because you can access (download) something on the internet (WWW or otherwise) does not mean you're allowed to watch, use, save it. That argument was lost during the battles of copyright infringement in the years of 2000s.

OpenAI isn't even citing in moderation. Its making a derivative work without citing (hence obscuring) it does.

The bottom line is this: ML which doesn't cite sources should be regarded as hostile: a blackbox, and a copyright infringement paradise.
