For me it was the opposite!

I wandered around the Louvre and didn't even think about the Mona Lisa being part of the exhibition. So I came from rooms, filled with huge paintings of old masters, into this small room, that was packed with visitors. I was astound and asked myself: "What is going on in here?", turned around and...THERE SHE WAS <gasp>!

Well placed beneath a sheet of the thickest armored glass I've ever seen! And she was so tiny! But: she smiled at me. And it was real! As, if this woman would be alive and you see her in a cafe two desks next to you!

I don't think she is so famous, because of this theft. She is famous, because she gives the viewer the impression of a real, alive person looking at you.
You're blinded by your ideology so that certain types of projects you categorize one way and other types you categorize another.

For example when LAX, which is government controlled by the city of Los Angeles, was expanding in the 1950s on up to today, all of the costs of expanding the airport were not controversial up to where it's now servicing 100,000 people daily.

You know what was controversial? Public transit there. Building an airport that can fly in and out 100,000 people was not expensive, was not complicated, was not some huge cost for the taxpayer.

Those adjectives were not assigned to that project.

However the idea of putting a train there, that is complicated, that is expensive and that is a huge cost to taxpayer because people have decided to use those adjectives there.

And that's the only reason.

Here's another example. Cincinnati built a 400 million dollar sports stadium on the tax dollars dime.

When it wasn't profitable they ended up having to sell off hospitals and raid their savings. https://www.huffpost.com/entry/ohio-county-stadium-debts-cin...

The stadium didn't get assigned the adjectives that say a 400 million park or housing project would have gotten, regardless of the fact that a 400 million dollar housing project would have far more predictable revenue and wouldn't lead to the city being forced to sell off hospitals.

No that would have gotten the adjectives complicated difficult expensive and all those other negative modifiers because of the underlying ideologies. Those adjectives are assigned to reflect the ideological commitments

The things that make walking tedious also make public transit tedious if you're walking from some station tucked in the back of the casino to where the actual casino and restaurants are. And if a station is outside, we're talking 110 degrees F at certain times of the year. The whole design of the Strip is oriented towards getting you into a casino and keeping you there.

The stated reason for delaying the fab construction is a lack of skilled labor in the USA, which does make sense - that's what happens when you hollow out domestic manufacturing in the name of increased corporate profits from outsourcing.

> "“There is an insufficient amount of skilled workers” with the expertise to build a chip factory, TSMC chairman Mark Liu complained during a call with analysts. The executive warned the company might have to fly in “experienced technicians from Taiwan to train the local skilled workers for a short period of time.”"

Thanks for the link to this app. I had not heard of this one and normally don't use navigation apps because I don't like distractions while I'm driving. I do run into situations where it would be great to have current traffic information so that I can avoid getting caught up in someone else's malfunction though. I usually ask a passenger to check traffic if it looks dicey down the road or just wing it if I'm driving alone.

I read through each of the pages and found the website to be easy to navigate and found descriptions of features to be pretty good. I did find a couple things on one page that I think could be clarified. Both are on the "AI Dashcam" page.

The text in one of the subheadings should be changed since there is a pretty common grammar error in one sentence.

Under the subheading "Forward Collision Warning" where the sentence reads - "When a vehicle that is driving in front of you breaks abruptly, a quick response may be required."

Change "breaks" to "brakes" and I think it makes more sense. English homonyms got you there. It's very common to see breaks used when the writer means brakes.

The other thing on this page is just something that reads funny to me.

Under the subheading "Advanced Driver Assistance notifications on Apple Watch." there is a sentence that really puts the whole app situation in context.

The second sentence is great - "First, install Magic Earth for Apple Watch and add a Magic Earth complication to your Watch face. "

I wonder whether "complication" should have been "application" or whether the developers actually see this app on an Apple Watch as a complication like I do.

Pretty funny stuff.

I sent a link to one of my kids who is currently traveling to see what they say about it. They are in the US and from other comments the app may not be available here on iOS today but they will check it out when it is available.
I remember in the mid '70s looking under the hood of my family's enormous station wagon and being greeted by a solid surface of hoses and valves, all dedicated to meeting the recently-boosted emissions standards. Open an internal-combustion hood now, and it's much, much simpler.
`INIT $RAT-OVERFLOW = CX::Warn` will produce a warning whenever a switch to Num happens.

`INIT $RAT-OVERFLOW = Exception` will throw an exception whenever a switch to Num would happen.

If you want to define your own behaviour, you can. For instance:

class ZeroOrInf {
method UPGRADE-RAT(Int $nu, Int $de) {
$nu > $de ?? Inf !! 0
}
}
INIT $*RAT-OVERFLOW = ZeroOrInf

would either convert the value to `Inf`if too large, or to `0` if too small.
What's pretty interesting about ACOUP is that when contrasting Tolkien's Middle Earth with George Martin's Game of Thrones, from a realism perspective... it's Middle Earth that ends up winning.

If you peruse the many articles of this blog on both works of fiction, you'll realize the author (a scholar on medieval history) thinks Lord of the Rings is more realistic (in scope, military logistics, scale of the armies and even tactics) than Game of Thrones. This was surprising to me, because GRRM "sells" Game of Thrones as a fantastic [1] but "more realistic" [2] take on the Middle Ages. ACOUP takes him to task, because almost every "realistic" detail in GoT is, according to him, wrong. This also includes the purported cruelty of nobles towards the populace, GRRM's take on religion, etc.

Let me delve on that last point: ACOUP asserts that GoT's take on religion is wrong. In GoT -- especially in the TV show, but also in the books -- the take on religion of many major players is cynical. While some characters are fanatics or really believe, others are skeptical. Most of the Lannisters seem skeptical of any gods. Cersei goes so far as to blow out the Sept (cathedral), an act that in the real Middle Ages would see her hanged, burned or beheaded, and would lose her the support of her army. ACOUP makes the point that the nobility and kings of the Middle Ages really believed in their religion and gods!

[1] after all, it's a fantasy work with dragons and zombies. Then again, LotR has orcs, elves, ghosts and wizards and it manages to be more realistic!

[2] George Martin: "I wanted my books to be strongly grounded in history and to show what medieval society was like, and I was also reacting to a lot of fantasy fiction. Most stories depict what I call the ‘Disneyland Middle Ages’—there are princes and princesses and knights in shining armor, but they didn’t want to show what those societies meant and how they functioned."

All those are regional monopolies by law or by fact. You cannot move land, so land prices will always be regional. Energy and water networks are local monopolies, usually owned by the municipality or a local company monopoly. With electricity, you might have some choice, that is, you rent the power line from the local monopoly and buy the electricity from one of several companies. However, the choice is limited to companies serving your area, and the exact rules and companies strongly differ between European nations.

One of the depots used by DHL when they "can't find" my building (even though the place predates the formation of the Soviet Union, let alone its collapse) is about a mile away and I don't have a car. This is fine unless it rains, but it's not even conveniently on my way to anything interesting.
Local is too small to actually deal with these behemoths. Look at what happens when these large companies play municipalities off each other to get factories and facilities built in their jurisdiction.
I admit that I talk to it in English the most (as it's my native tongue) but I had read here that it has gotten noticeably worse in other languages, even making grammar mistakes in linguistically-close-to-english-and-sufficently-present-in-training-data western european languages like German or French.

DeepL: German Unicorn Is Trying to Take on Google Translate and ChatGPT
Isn't the problem more fundamental than that?

A vector embedding is choosing a single meaning for my search terms - and if that single meaning is wrong - because I'm not the average person - then I'll struggle to get relevant results.

I guess you can use context to do the mapping - but the rarer the thing I'm trying to find, the less likely this will work?

Note this happens both ends - in parsing both the query and parsing and indexing the original web page.

I suppose if it misinterprets query and page you might get a hit, but then the result you want might be page 700.

There is nothing more annoying than using a search term that you know should be pretty defining and finding the engine deciding to substitute it for a much more common search term.

It's a bit like the Google equivalent of MS clippy - you appear be searching for ......

You’ll never be able to build 68 miles of subway in a place like Los Vegas given the cost structure that exists in America today. The next 1.5 mile phase of the second avenue subway in NYC is going to be $7.7 billion. DC desperately needs more downtown subway capacity to accommodate the new suburban lines it has built. It won’t happen. I think you can count the active subway expansion projects in this country on one hand.

Outside somewhere like New York, a cheap low capacity system that goes more places is better than a high capacity subway that doesn’t go anywhere.

> $10k steel randonneur bikes

Where is this a thing? I’m fairly familiar with retro-grouch bike brands, and their products cost less than half of that. Today when carbon frames, Rohloff hubs, or Pinion gearboxes are all the rage, and those are very expensive parts that push up the cost of a bike by thousands, retro-grouch steel bikes often seem cheap in comparison. One exception is when the frame is custom-made in a Western country instead of outsourced to Taiwan like most brands, but that still shouldn’t reach $10K.
Language is culture, and if the sapir-whorf hypothesis holds, different languages are literally different methods of thinking.

To me, GraphQL is a great base model for what logs should be.

The producer declares all possible data.

The consumer requests the specific data it wants, at runtime.

Because fundamentally, there's a mismatch of knowledge. Log consumers won't inherently know everything that can be in logs. Ergo, modern API-style ecosystem models are probably better approaches.

>In recent years, the web has gotten very hostile to the lowly web scraper. It's a result of the natural progression of web technologies away from statically rendered pages to dynamic apps built with frameworks like React and CSS-in-JS.

Dunno, a lot of the time it actually makes scraping easier because the content that's not in the original source tends to be served up as structured data via XHR- JSON usually- you just need to take a look at the data you're interested in and if it's not in 'view-source', it's coming from somewhere else.

Browser based scraping makes sense when that data is heavily mangled or obfuscated, laden with captchas and other anti-scraping methods. Or if you're interested in if text is hidden, what position it's on the page etc.
Just to give a sense of how bad 1.2 million people over two years is: the NYC subway system carries significantly more people than that per day.
Ask HN: Best book/resource on modern UI/UX
I am joining a new company, one primarily focused on UI/UX. My role will be on the backend and around infrastructure but since this is a core thing for them, I want to know more.

In particular, what is the best book/resource you would recommend for learning about modern UI/UX: principles, design methodology, practical tips?

It's important that it's not some foundational text from Bell Labs written in the 60s, although obviously nice if it mentioned a bit of history, but rather something focused on modern stuff, especially mobile apps. How is it actually done today.

Which technologies should I have at least cursory knowledge of, which tools are widely used, which are hip, and which are on the COBOL path? What is the modern approach to measuring and improving user experience?

Houses are where the average person gets to be a leveraged investor. If I invest in an index fund and it goes up 10%, I've made 10%. If I invest in a house and it goes up 10%, but I invested with 5% down, I have tripled my money.

But the reverse is also true. People are hugely sensitive to house prices falling, because they are leveraged. If I owned my home outright (no mortgage) and the value fell 10%, I wouldn't be happy. But if I had a mortgage with 5% down, all my equity got wiped out, and I'm now 5% underwater.

ROP is clearly just using the Tolkien universe as wrapping paper. No one seems very serious about the lore anymore (or much of anything, really). The barest of efforts will still drive massive revenue so why bother trying very hard?

You will find those that trip over themselves to defend ROP (and new Star Trek, et. al.). This is the target audience. I am not sure what convinced this audience that the new content is good - Part of me suspects it's mostly Stockholm syndrome. Those without the courage to adopt a more stoic attitude towards life.

I feel like if more people would quit consuming pointless shit all the time, we might wind up with better pointless shit. As it stands, anything will generate some amount of revenue when you launch it on Netflix. This is really bad game theory for high quality content producers and the risk/reward tradeoff they have to negotiate with publishers.

"We need 2 years to run the traps on lore" and "casting will be an on-going and convoluted process" == you are kicked out of the Netflix green light meeting without any additional courtesy.

Is Hurd there? I mean, you obviously don't frame 'success' with an open source system in financial terms, but I would argue that developing a critical development mass is pretty important. Without that, the project will wither and die.

Open source is sort of an "attention economy", so the currency isn't dollars, but developer interest.

Fooling around with something for the joy of learning is a motivator, but I don't know that it's enough to sustain a project, long term.

And Hurd very much is a 'product' in the economic sense, whether it's open source, not for profit, or whatever.
