>I think Google’s Zanzibar is also centralized but leverages extreme caching to get lower latencies?

That's correct. In a Zanzibar-like model, you have a global storage, but individual clusters in each datacenter/edge providing consistency-aware caching. This means p99 can be something like 25ms, but p95 or p50 is often FAR lower.

Yeah but "scanning people's eyeballs to build a database" is untrue.

Well if I don't like my job and I am only doing it in order to feed myself being nice to you when I am tired and want to go home and it's only 15:00 is work.

I get that some people are naturally nice and some others are not and find excuses not to be but all of cashiers in the supermarket I go to give you tired unconvincing robotic "Good morning/evening" and "Goodbye" and you can tell they are tired of it. Also they have to.

Would I be nice in a restaurant as a worker where people come to spend a special moment ?
Yes, and I expect to be paid accordingly as it is part of my work.
Serving people waiting in line in a fast food, will I be hostile ? No.
Would I care about conversational etiquette serving people waiting in a fast food ?
Hell no, I am not a smile delivery machine.

In the end it's all about stepping out of yourself and consider the reality the person in front of you is facing. Of course, if you've ever had to do a shitty job, that may help you.

>Public transportation systems all over the country currently have huge budget gaps because ridership keeps going down.

The pandemic basically destroyed ridership in a lot of places. Boston--both the subway and the commuter rail--have crept back up to "only" being about 30% below pre-pandemic levels (and has probably been impacted by some disruptive long-deferred maintenance as well). But one of the consequences is reduced schedules which makes public transit relatively less attractive.

It is not a barrier for learners. It is a barrier for people that just want to hack something together that works for one particular use-case.

Python is not popular because it is "easy" (far from it if you have to maintain it). But because it is easy to create executable code that does what you want, without having to have a background in coding.
No site is an island. Even if I keep my own website's implementation minimal I still end up interacting with the rest of the internet via web pages with less minimal markup.

However, if you also had a like-minded community of similarly minimal websites, a mechanism to minify websites, search engines that prioritized minimal (or minifiable) websites, and a social convention of avoiding linking to any website unless it was minimal (or minifiable) then you'd end up with something like the Gemini community.

In fact, I suspect something like that will supplant Gemini in practice. Browsers already have reader modes and some search engines allow you to block certain domains. I could easily imagine search engines or browsers providing greater end-user control over this sort of thing in the future.

It's even easier to not do the study if you are going to use bogus data anyway.
Add it to the pile. I think this is an important issue, but I don't understand why devs are compelled to create apps when the goal is just telegraphing information, and you only need to do that once. That's what books are for. I guess you'd have to count on there being a demographic that only wants to absorb information through apps.

Much of the content is (and ought to be) freely available information anyway, at least for boilerplate CBT-i (see e.g. https://insomniasos.net/). Obfuscating what is the size of a buzzfeed article behind payments and apps to make a buck is absurd.

Seeing a professional is one option, but ymmv. GPs don't seem to know much about this and reflexively prescribe pills because that's what people want and expect of them. Sleep specialists can be good, but the source material behind their approach can be limited and dated (like CBT-i itself). What I did is read a pile of research articles (maniacally at first), and books. It's not for everyone, but you'll find more useful information than in glorified advertisements in google searches.

Some regional Russian carriers were pretty bad, but Aeroflot was not.
The United States is also massive geographically and road policies and enforcement vary dramatically.

New York State, which similiar to the UK in regards to one massive metropolis, several large cities, and then lots of rural areas, has 5.8 deaths per 100k.

Mississippi, which even its big cities are completely car dominated has 26.2 deaths per 100k.

It comes down to a lot of things. When less of your population is driving, you're going to have less death. Big city streets are usually congested which slows vehicle speeds which in turns reduces deaths, and its politically difficult to slow cars down in a car dependent culture, as most people want to speed. I'll also point out that for a lot of the south and midwest, you drive to the bar and you drive away from the bar. They make bars with 50+ parking spots and then say "Don't drive drunk!".

This is a bit tangential to the author's point but it does seem to indicate that IPv6 is mostly pointless for human users for exactly this reason.

Since it's so much easier to hide behind a new unique address, compared to IPv4, that any service such as Cloudflare would need to be extremely aggressive in blocking to meet their internal metrics and customer advertised minimum thresholds.

So much so that it actually costs more to use IPv6 then sticking with IPv4.

I imagine the scenario described by the author would become more and more common as time goes on as more of the world's internet users becomes harder to distinguish.
>One of the interesting lessons of the past few years is that supply chain lead times are a thing and policy doesn't just happen because central planning says it should.

I would say exactly the opposite, the vaccines were made quite quickly and there weren't major supply issues.

The Defense Production Act (er... central planning as you put it) was used to say what was going to happen when with money to back it up and... things happened quickly.

DPA wasn't invoked to build you new cars or supply you toilet paper so... those things had their supply issues.

The US actually can do logistics very well, especially when there's somebody willing to foot the bill for big asks. The lack of corruption and general merit-based placement here compared to so many other places combined with a large degree of vertical integration means that we can accomplish quite a lot and is one of the underappreciated cornerstones of our ability to make war (and why nobody wants to fight us).

We are decimating (and then some) Russia's military by giving away second tier equipment to Ukraine, and the amount we're giving away is basically an afterthought. A one-time superpower is scraping the bottom of the barrel for equipment fighting against largely NATO supplied spare equipment.
> Along with (hopefully) that french startup (Mistral) founded by the LLaMA guys, the EU is putting together the pieces they need to keep up with AI and maintain their ability to leverage their control mechanisms upon the FAANGS.

These nodes are generations old and basically only in use in German cars with their abysmal 'software'. The only touching point these processors will ever have with AI is as an API endpoint to Google Voice or Siri.

Moreover, Mistral was widely seen as a joke and testimony to the catastrophic state European tech is in.

Europe is done. I have no idea why they rushed to regulate anything. In the end the U.S. startups will tell us what to do. Europe is a joke.

Yes, because this is about relative cultural norms. At what point did I claim otherwise?

Unlike everyone disagreeing with me, I'm not the one claiming my values and expectations are in some way universal or superior (though I can see how I might be read that way giving I'm defending our shared culture in this area, which can appear that I'm in some way advocating for its superiority, something I assure you I'm not intending to do).

It was the original commenter, complaining about "weird" Americans, who seems to think their values are the "normal" ones, when as you've just illustrated, normal is meaningless when talking about social and cultural conventions.

Do Germans have different expectations? Of course. And Russians have theirs. And the Australians have theirs. And the Canadians have theirs. None are right or wrong or "weird", they just are.
If there are no windfall profits during boom times, are you equally onboard with subsidies during lean times?

If the banks are doing something predatory then that behavior should be stopped. Not being able to define it and then seizing an arbitrary portion of the profits isn’t going to stop it in the future. Hell, since profit is after expense, they can increase CEO salaries to reduce it and be taxed less!

Plus if the “crime” here is fleecing depositors with interest rate spreads, they should make them pay that arbitrary percentage to each depositor based on their pro rata share over the coarse of the year.

Otherwise you’re taking some pensioners’ low savings account interest and giving it to away to someone else entirely.

I use Mercurial on a volunteer project and it gives me problem after problem including repository corruptions and it's extremely slow for the same things git does before I can blink. I often wish it never existed so our team was never tempted to try it over industry standard git. Everything integrates with git, git is optimized every day by devs all over the world, every issue you can have with git is on stackoverflow, and it's essentially bug-free, meanwhile mercurial is some niche thing with embarrassing bugs written in python.

It's especially vexing that mercurial throws a fit if you try to do anything like pull with changes in your repository while git does the sensible thing and just works.

Show HN: Radix Themes – A beautiful, open-source React component library
Hi HN! I'm Vlad, a designer and engineer on the Radix team (https://radix-ui.com). We just launched Radix Themes, an open source component library for building modern, accessible React apps.

Radix Themes is built on top of Radix Primitives (https://radix-ui.com/primitives), which companies like Vercel, CodeSandbox, and Supabase, among others, already use to power their interfaces.

Our goal is to help you focus on your product and build it faster instead of re-inventing common designs and working on the UI components over and over.

Under the hood, Radix Themes is built with TypeScript, React and vanilla CSS. All design tokens are CSS variables that you can tweak, overwrite, or use to build your own custom components with any styling solution that you like.

The idea to build Radix Themes emerged while working on our own design system at WorkOS (https://workos.com), which is the company behind Radix. There was hundreds of design details and edge cases that we had to take care of, so it still didn't feel like a solved problem.

We also were obsessed with getting the developer experience right. For every component we asked ourselves—what is the right API? What are the right props and parts? What should, and more importantly, shouldn’t be a part of this component? What API would make the code easy to understand and maintain, and what would put you into a messy situation that could bite when you don’t expect it?

With this approach, we used our own, battle-tested components that serve our paying users to kickstart Radix Themes.

I hope that you find Radix Themes useful. Right now, there’s 45 components, hundreds of carefully crafted variants, a few simple and powerful primitives for layout, and an extensive token system.

I would love to hear your feedback on our work and learn about your experiences with building UIs.

That only works though if you approach the problem from both angles. Often attempts to create legal alternatives are accompanied by decreases in enforcement action against the illegal options (sometimes intentionally, sometimes as a natural consequence of the fact that you can no longer treat all possession as illegal).

I actually like that idea.
Sure, but then you get a piece of shit that randomly shuts your USB ports off every few minutes. Why anyone spends money on their products is beyond me.
no. because one of the key aspects of it is that every client can interpret the content in whatever way the user prefers. Also the restrictions.

Gemini is _incredible_ for accessibility, because there's no disconnect between what's displayed and what a blind person can consume, and it's not complicated by layout things or developers who failed to account for the fact that maybe you need huge fonts.

Also, the moment you use normal HTML someone is going to stick an image in it. Now, i 100% support this idea. I've never embraced Gemini because the idea that the web is better with NO images is just absurd to me. I don't care how good of a writer, no textual description of something you've seen will come close to conveying what a photo can, and if you're trying to describe abstract art you're doomed to failure.
A modern 68-mile subway system under Vegas would cost probably $100 billion. LA just expanded its subway system for $1 billion a mile. In comparison, the Boring Company did the 1.7-mile Las Vegas Convention center tunnel for a $47 million fixed price.

It is cheaper to maintain one train, than the equivalent number of cars.

Simply put, there is no way a Tesla car would run 30+ years without having to replace batteries and motors several times.

If an average Tesla car would run for, say, 1 mile per minute, and kept it for 12 hours a day (nothing unusual for an average train line), that would average to over +500,000 miles in less than two years. These cars would definitely need to be fully rebuilt or replaced, and I'm not even counting interior wear and tear.

I'd imagine it's a continuous process of adjustment, so, unless you liked the song explicitly, or never skipped it, or gave it five stars, it might be wanting to self-calibrate by trying to figure out how much you like it (there are Who songs I don't care much about). It might inject such songs into your stream for tracking changes in your taste - 1991 me would love Enigma and Dead or Alive much more than 2023 me.

I've come to the personal conclusion that the issue with compiled languages and machine learning is that the API surface is so big and the operations themselves are very self-contained.

I find that I am not typically writing complex "language-level" logic that would be expressible in any type of language and would benefit from the performance of compilation. I am guessing APIs and quickly testing ideas in totally unrelated colab notebooks. My productivity goes up when I can quickly answer questions like "how does this transpose impact the shape of the output" or "how do I find the mean of this tensor along only these dimensions."

Compiled languages, and especially Rust, really require you to go in with a plan. I find most of the machine learning code I write is inspired by rapidly playing with ideas.
It's amazing how often the wheel gets re-invented because people don't realize there's a spare tire.
Yeah, I've been thinking a bit about that kind of problem too.

My hunch is you could do it with a much more complex setup involving OpenAI functions - by trying different things (like "list just input elements with their names and associated labels") in a loop with the LLM where it gets to keep asking follow-up questions of the DOM until it finds the right combination.
Why can't you learn the next tool?

Everyone in a tech field has to retain the ability to learn new things over time. AI might not take our jobs but it will likely change them. I guess it sucks if you have a fear of learning. Admittedly, at first learning a new thing can be kind of uncomfortable, like getting into a cold swimming pool. But once you get over the initial shock and start moving around, it's not so bad.
