Google telephones most businesses in the world multiple times per year to confirm opening hours and ask what their hours will be at Christmas/other holidays.

Let that sink in. They have an actual human put actual minutes into speaking with every single business in their database. Think how much that alone must cost.

And they put all that money in simply so users can be a little more certain that the opening hours shown are correct.

Anyway, very nice and informative article, thanks !
As you say it's very context dependent. Trello makes sense as an SPA because the user stares at the same page all day (the board view), for long stretches at a time, and often requires interaction like dragging cards around. For Google Maps the user spends some time finding the right location, and does a lot of panning. The HR solution my company uses… there the user goes to very distinct pages (time off, goal setting, etc.) and interacts with it by filling in forms. That probably shouldn't be an SPA (but is).

It's considered a bad move to use SPAs because product managers tend to err on writing an app when they should be writing a site; the reverse rarely happens these days.

Xi Jinping has already enacted likely unpopular economic policies that were failing without the US starting its economic cold war. He's already enacted purges and other violent measures to centralize power as I understand it.

What degree of economic damage would fundamentally destabilize China politically such that Xi is deposed?

If stupid me is thinking about such vulnerabilities/risks, would foreign businessmen bet on Chinese factories, or move them to the newer/cheaper labor markets I've been hearing about for the last 10 years like Vietnam and Malaysia?

And Jinping is 70, do you think he's lasting to 80? When he croaks, due to his elimination of what semblance of political power handover / elections that used to exist in China, it will be a bloodbath.
It's or course true that if you exclude all dangerous human driver scenarios, you're left with something unrealistically safe.

But it's not entirely an apples to apples comparison. People who want to drive recklessly will not switch on self driving. Self driving cars are pretty new simply because it's a new technology, how will they compare against a banged up 30 yo car when they are themselves 30 yo? They may in fact fare worse, because there is more reliance on fragile components like cameras or lidar. How will they deal with the things like dodgy brakes or the one gear that doesn't work? These are things humans can mostly adapt to.

The other point, not raised by GP, is that often self driving only works on fairly safe roads anyway, whereas humans drive everywhere, skewing the stats.

But I guess broadly I agree, it is possible that on average, self driving is already safer, simply because it eliminates the variance. Best driver is better than self driving, but average - not.

That’s not how a turbo button works, it doesn’t make the pc “go faster” [1] :)

Either you had a 486@66Mhz, or you set your multiplier to 2x instead of just pressing the turbo button.

[1] I mean, you could by default power your pc with turbo in “slow mode”, and activate it for hyperspeed, but you’re still using a 66Mhz CPU that is being normally slowed down

> People casually asserting that software is equivalent to humanity will be a non-negligible thing to consider, as irritating and poorly-founded as it seems.

> If the reproduction isn't pixel-perfect, but merely obvious and overwhelming, how do you refute that philosophically to people who refuse a distinction between 50GB and a human life?

Software equivalence to humanity is a very philosophical question that many sci-fi writers have approached. But our primary issue related to this technology does not depend on anyone making a determination there.

The challenge is that losses to livelihood from this technology are going to come from far broader impacts than copyright alone. Copyright disputes are just the first things to get everyone's attention.

Let's say we err on the side of protection of copyright, and all training data must be fully licensed, in addition to users being responsible for ensuring outputs did not accidentally reproduce something similar to a copyrighted work, even if it was part of the licensed training dataset. Great! This fixes the problem of lost value for the owners of copyrights. Companies will face a slight delay and slightly increased costs as they license content; however, in the end, model capabilities will be the same and continue to increase.

The number of jobs that actually cannot be performed without humans will continue to dwindle — livelihoods will be lost at essentially the same scale despite upholding copyrights.

The only way we can handle a technology capable of reducing most need for human labor is by focusing on planning and executing a smooth transition toward an economy with more people than jobs — aiming for minimal human suffering during this process.

A mass loss of human jobs does not need to mean a mass loss of livelihood if our society is prepared to transition to a universal basic income. After all, human life is far more than just a job. We have the opportunity for much more fulfilling lives if we plan this transition well. We must understand that this is a far larger issue than copyright - copyright disputes are just one of the first symptoms of this disruptive process.

That's an oversimplified way to understand nonviolent resistance movements that's insufficient to explain their success.

In every case where they have been successful, a radical movement with the will to violence at their flank is what brings the other party to the negotiation table. The plausible threat of a mutually destructive protest movement with unconditional demands makes the measured compromise of the peaceful group seem acceptable by comparison.

Look at the environmental movement for what happens without this. Decades of nonviolent protest and resistance, but without a plausibly violent fringe there is no reason for anyone to capitulate to its demands, and so no one has.
They can. My friend got his whole deck proxied online for about $50

Problem is that it’s worthless to anyone but him.

The cards are expensive but they also hold some relative value (can be resold) and only real cards are legal in tournaments.

That said, for casual games, proxies are growing in popularity and I always say they’re a moral imperative. Only problem is some people use proxies that use non-standard art or borders, which can really hamper the game (or in one case, be incredibly cringe and awful to play against).

The problem will not be so severe if the problem was not both ways, nimbys and developers.

I remember Sunnyvale downtown projects were abandoned you can explain it but the reality is they (developers and city) did not meet their commitments and it leaves a bad taste. I saw aggressive campaigning myself in front of Cupertino library which was in line with reports of aggression and manhandling that the opposition to Valco talked about. And I supported the NIMBYs even though I was a renter because the opposition was just so ham handed.

So when citizens feel overpowered, in mega cities they don't have much choice but in mini cities they can have a say, and they do revolt and get called nimbys. If we had double the nimbys maybe the construction corporates will try a better faith negotiation with them. No?

Interesting.

In the European countries in familiar with, there would be a prefix digit (usually 0) to show a call was not local. (And a different prefix to make an international call, usually 00.)

So if you live in London and have a landline phone, you can call Westminster Council by dialing 7641 6000. Outside London you'd need to dial 020 7641 6000.

The 0 isn't really part of the number, so from abroad you typically dial 0044 20 7641 6000 (but the international prefix varies, so it's written +44 20 7641 6000.)
> For example, if the shifter of a modern bike breaks after some years of use, a replacement part will probably no longer be available.

In this case, a web app is hardly going to help me when I’m camping with no internet connection. But a native app with good offline support is exactly what I would want.

And while web apps have plenty of practical benefits, those are mostly from the perspective of the developer. As a user, once an app is downloaded, good native apps are preferable just about every time.
You are assuming a small sensible change. The actuall changes could easily make that time to already have occured, and to occur multiple times in the future for example.

In this context (driving in central Europe) I've found Apple Maps to choose the conventional route more often. The trip may be slightly longer but more enjoyable, for the exact reasons you mentioned. Google Maps indeed seems to be weighted towards stressful shortcuts.
Absolutely. But the coveted big number, an ever-accumulating ledger balance, is a different kind of valuable number than the small number, which generally represents a distance to the origin of the number cult. Lower is better because it’s closer to the source.

Elon Musk has the biggest big numbers of them all. But that doesn’t mean he could acquire every kind of valuable small number that exists. He can definitely buy a low-numbered NFT, and he can probably buy an early Picasso (though there aren’t many not in museums). But he can’t buy himself a low Erdős number for example.

This is what traditionally separates the nouveaux riches from old money: the first are interested in the big numbers, the latter in the small ones. (“My great great grandfather was the second Earl of Somethingdom.”)
You can exclude targeting people on Google Maps ads when they're near their home. If the hotels want to pay for more impressions and not target their ads appropriately, Google is happy to take their money.

This is really more the hotel marketing team's fault than Google's.
Yeah, I hear you. I try to avoid pulling NPM packages that I don’t know so I’m not really interested in containing software for security purposes.

Of course, there’s also the question of dependencies. If I’m working on a project that I trust that pulls in hundreds of NPM dependencies, I implicitly trust that the project deemed those dependencies safe to pull in. It would be impossible to always operate on the assumption that you’re potentially pulling in hundreds of malicious packages so the chain of trust has to take over at some point.

However, I imagine you were more or less referring to singular projects that you don’t fully trust and like to experiment with in which case I agree with you and would probably use a VM without any kind of file sharing tbh.

Going by the response headers, it seems that most if not all of the HTML served by docs.mux.com consists of cacheable static files. As the OP article mentions, using React for static generation is one of the big use cases for RSC and Next.

Which templating technology would you recommend for the use case instead? Keep in mind that generating HTML from OpenAPI specs can become complex and will require plenty of maps, filters, recursion and indexing into the data in the course of transforming it into HTML.
Sure, epub.

This is the first I’ve heard of a “kill ring” thing, and it sounds wonderful. Pasting in Vim is generally a PITA because I always cut some word, then delete something to make room for it, which is itself another cut, and then I have to remember what register the thing I want is in now, and how to get at it. Double quote and then 9? I can’t even remember and I’ve been using Vim every day for a decade now.

It wasn't even the first as, Tru64 and HP-UX Vaults had the first container like capabilities in late 1990's, followed by Solaris Zones, BSD jails.

Perhaps in a decade we can efficiently do this with an ILLM (insanely large language model) with eidetic memory, trained on the web and all our other media.

Road noise is mostly white noise when indoors, and reduced to nearly inaudible by good windows. The really disruptive noise is caused by increased density - the apartment above with a subwoofer or an exercise routine that involves dropping weights, kids running up and down the hall shrieking, stuff like that. Landlords are supposed to address issues like that, but getting them to handle noise issues can be very frustrating. Living in a detached house is incredibly quiet compared to dense apartment accomodations.

Named exchanges are before my time, but my understanding is that the names were kind of sort of arbitrary; they'd try to assign the exchanges meaningful names, but that's not always possible, especially when trying to also balance other numbering priorities. In the 1950s, AT&T put together a list of recommended names for exchanges, you can see on wikipedia [1],

More disturbing to me is how loud it gets when you're actually on the airplane.
The plane itself is very loud, that can't be helped I guess, but the crew seemingly has to shout irrelevant things at you every five minutes through that awful megaphone style onboard speaker system.
For the millionth time some safety instructions, then welcome this, goodbye that, please buy perfume, please buy lottery cards, please reserve a shuttle taxi, and so on.

All very loud, and combined with a sound quality that reminds me of a 20 bucks portable radio makes for a miserable experience.
