I'm late to the thread but would like to second this. The design choices the article criticizes aren't the consequence of mobile first design.

Actually websites looked like that in the late 2000's, before responsive design became ubiquitous.

> ” If you want to feel sad for art, drop in on a reddit post where somebody asks "What's the best X?" where X can be a book, movie, podcast, etc.”

I, in general, agree with your perspective, but this example does not follow in my opinion.

In particular if you add the expression “the best X of all tine”, then I certainly expected the opposite bias. People will ignore what was done in the past 20 years and go to classics.

And if the audience answering the question is people around 20 years old, then I would expect a lot of “I don’t know if all time, but my preferred is…” and then something recent. I.e., I expect humility in the answer and providing an answer from what they know. Which is not, IMO, an effect of marketing or commoditization, but just of the limited time they exist in the Earth.

Apple mainly does two things: Much larger caches ($$$ but they have the margins) and memory inside the CPU package (shorter and faster connections, but can't upgrade memory).

[Edit] + Buying up all state of the art production capacities so competition is one node behind.

There is no Apple secret sauce.

As long as the others don't want to go that route - and they seem not to be in need to cut into their margins (AMD shows how X3D helps with performance).

I think what is interesting especially for Intel/AMD is that Xiaomi drops legacy 32 bit ARM and translates apps to 64bit.

Dropping 16/32bits can reduce die size which can be used for larger caches for the same price.
Based on those videos, BP ironically has the least offer in terms of amenities while you wait for your car to charge. The other places at least seem to have tables with windows but I've seen those in gas stations like Royal Farms for many years.

I would like to see charging stations structured more like truckstops like the flying J. Park your car to charge, and visit an attached restaurant, a TV room, perhaps arcade or other amenities besides a couple tables and chairs by a window
>This is all marketing/commoditization at work, of course, and I'm not negative long-term.

I think it's more that the principles of competition in capitalism ultimately tend to lead to converging on one or a very few solutions. In some cases that's good. We want things that are cheap and highly abundant, especially in cases where it works for most the population. Having affordable groceries works very well (let's ignore recent trends of inflation).

But I don't think we always want converged solutions, I think there are many cases where as a society we want a lot of diversity, we want a wide selection to choose from, we want that sort of natural redundancy with some variance that occurs. It both helps make life interesting when it comes to things like the arts and in some cases I think having real choice of selection (not the illusion of choice where there are 10 options that are basically identical for all practical purposes) is very useful.

There are many cases when things dictated by the mass market aren't what I want/need. I still want an easily swappable battery in a flagship phone as a simple example and expandable memory in the form of SD slots but alas the market has spoken and I'm stuck with poor alternatives if I want those functions. Or on a more practical note, I'd love to select from various airlines, there's dozens and dozens of them but the fact is I often ride coach and they're all just as crappy and customer hostile as each other. It doesn't matter if you pay just a little more for a ticket, you're out of luck. The tendency for markets to converge on the same price points to remain competitive makes them also converge on the same or similar solutions and that tends to lead to a lack of choice.

Maybe consumers need to be willing to not always pay the lowest price for everything but I argue the issue isn't just there, it's systematic because the average consumer is also the average person producing the consumables and the way in which they get resources to consume which dictate to some degree what choices they have and so on and so forth. We seem to just be continuously converging on optimal solutions that don't fit everyone and are slowly fitting a handful of people in power more than anything else.
> Enterprise DDoS protection is their goddamn flagship product. The Cloudflare website just says “call us”. That’s all. And it’s because E&G deals aren’t made through a website.

What does this have to do with anything? Cloudflare understands their customers very well and if you need "Enterprise" functionality of course it's behind contact us - just like nearly any other "enterprise" tier with any solution.

> Read the 10-K before spouting off about what value creation a middleman provides, and how it captures that value as revenue.

The unwarranted hostility across your comment tells me you have personal issues with Cloudflare that are entering the discussion. That's fine, and you can use whatever you prefer/works for you.

> This is naive. As ever, if it’s free, that means you’re part of the product.

Again, unwarranted hostility. Cloudflare goes into depth explaining why they offer their free tier and relatively inexpensive plans until "Enterprise". In short, free is where they roll out changes in the architecture first to test them. This is fair. Additionally, because they get a lot of traffic with the free and inexpensive plans they are able to provide a better experience to all users across plans due to the significant amounts of traffic they are able to capture and analyze.

Comparing their approach with social media platforms grabbing eyeballs to attract advertising revenue is disingenuous at best.

> The clearest confirmation of this, however, is still Cloudflare going to all the time and trouble to wrangle together an industry collective - the so-called “bandwidth alliance” - for the express purpose of driving down settlement-based peering fees.

What is wrong with this? I've built networks, bought transit, done peering, etc. Cloudflare has excellent points with their "no egress charges" and bandwidth alliance. The obscene egress bandwidth markup from other providers is absurd. They clearly take advantage of people without the experience of peering, buying transit, etc who end up believing "that's just what bandwidth costs".

> They are not altruists.

I never said they were. Please show me a large and publicly traded company that is.

If you can tolerate the crazy politics and French, I grew up and live in Montreal central-ish neighborhoods, and have a very independent teen in high school who takes public transport or bikes to go just about everywhere in the city.

It's not always efficient, but teens have time (saving a few minutes by using a car would make me waste a ton of time).

Personally I have a car, but I bike most of the time to go downtown because it's 15-20 mins away and there are those new bike paths that are clean in winter too (and much faster/fun than driving).
Yeah, if one wants a more realist overview of Siberian environmentalism, they should rather read Borodin's The Third Truth.

Not out of vanity (ok, a little) but because I think the idea has importance that has not been fully explored. The article's Bayesian perspective may be the whole story but somehow I don't think so. Unlike the article's author, my work left me feeling model architecture was the most important thing (behind training data) whereas they seem to feel it is ancillary.

Can Virtual Reality Protect Users from Keystroke Inference Attacks?
I agree. I usually don’t respond with generated text. But in this instance I wanted to try to see if GPT-4 could sniff out the book that was being searched for. As of the dangers in GPT responses, it is easy to be mislead. I vetted the response (existence of author, books), but not in depth of what was actually asked for. And for that reason I failed to catch the error that you pointed out. But thank you for doing so, will definitely be more critical to GPT responses in the future. And also not post generated content that is clearly wrong.

I wonder what is going on here, market wise. Microsoft displays one anti-consumer move after another. Classic monopolist behaviour.

Meanwhile, people literally prefer buying a new PC, tolerate the ads, tolerate the disrespect for their preferences, take the risk of cloud providers closing accounts and taking their life history with it.

The PC market seems ready for a shake up. I wish BEOS started today.
That is because performance isn't the only metric. Things like cost make a big difference as they would need to make it decently priced for silicon board partners to buy. Just the amount of L2 cache in the M1 is 3x-6x as compared to the X3 core which adds cost to the chip.

The M1/M2 is an amazing chip, however you need to consider that these chips are in different price brackets hence the performance discrepancy.
> Service workers are like adding extra threads when running JS in your browser. People use them in client-side web app code to get around the single-threadedmess of JavaScript. [...]

Aren't you just describing workers in general here (without the "service" part)?

To me "Service Workers" is a worker purposed especially for proxyfying requests made by the client, on the client, and act upon it (example: by returning a version cached by the js). The main use-case I've seen is implementing an offline mode.

When you just want to unlock multi-threading capabilities in JavaScript, you just rely on "WebWorkers" another worker mechanism without the proxy part, I've never seen those referred as "Service Workers".

With that written, I don't get what Service Workers have to do being on the server-side though :/

> California, with a population 4x that of Seoul

The Seoul Capital Region is 26 million people crammed in a 4,500 square mile metropolitan area.

California is 40 million spread across 156,000 square miles.

It makes sense that CA gets more funding for roads and highways given that the population is much less dense.

Even when you factor in Metropolitan areas in CA, the distances are much larger - the Bay Area has the same population and area as the state of Massachusetts (9,000 square miles and 9 million people), yet I don't see subway connecting Boston to Worcester or Springfield.

That's functionally the same ask that a lot of Public transit supporters (which I am btw) are pushing for, and it doesn't make sense. The area is way too large for a system like the Boston T or the NYC Subway to be created, and the Bay's current setup of local subways (Muni/VTA) mixed with commuter rails (BART/Caltrain/ACE) makes more sense given the size.
you can measure -5°c though
I'm on the same boat.

To me the worst part is that their behavior hasn't really changed as I became an adult, and in fact the have gotten worse. I'm not affected anymore due to stronger and more mature boundaries, but my siblings still are. And damn if it those boundaries are not isolating as hell.

Another very isolating factor is societal response to having a less than ideal relationship with ones parents. Some people really change their opinion on you after knowing you're not close with your folks.

One of Apple's actual secret sauces is they can make their big caches fast. Typically latency increases with cache size so it's a tradeoff. Apple trades off less here. And it's not some "only fast because tsmc" it's just really solid engineering at both the architectural and physical design level.
"smart guy" fallacy is strong in tech sector and especially with Musk.

The fallacy is that psychometric intelligence is all that you need to "be smart". The intelligence does not change lot and degrades little when we get older, so if Musk is intelligent, he should continue behaving intelligently.

Executive functions (the higher-level cognitive skills you use to control and coordinate your other cognitive abilities and behaviors, like attentional control, cognitive inhibition, inhibitory control) are just as important. These things can degrade with age, mental issues, motivation, drug use,..

Hi Jeff, great article!

Fast & efficient cpu cores, perhaps slightly memory bandwidth limited, sounds like a great compile/build machine.

Any chance of doing a Linux kernel compile, and time that? Bonus points for 2nd, 3rd etc run with much of the stuff in RAM.

Curious minds would like to know.
It’s not just you. The fact that they keep adding new modules with new names is a big part of the problem, it shows they don’t have a cohesive plan.
The memory is still owned by the electron process, so ASLR is not involved here. Also in case of OOB, you still land into the electron process.

VIRT is not a good measure of actual memory usage because it includes shared pages like file cache and libraries, RES is better.

Or maybe everything will just be 64 bit from now onward, idk.

Casual users don't care about ChatGPT or any other smart chat app because they are used to Google Search or classical search bar type web search for decades now.

If chat apps take over, I think they will first taker over desktop computers because on mobile it is easier to type a few keywords in the web search bar and get 5 or 6 relevant web results than it is to chat with a chat bot for like 5 minutes.

Informational quires are most likely to be more useful in chat apps than in the classical web search but navigational and transactional quires are here to stay on Google or whatever search engine comes about.

One of the first (among many dramatically) critical issues is:

> Companies, from Big Tech down to smaller platforms and messaging apps, will need to comply with a long list of new requirements, starting with age verification for their users. (Wikipedia, the eighth-most-visited website in the UK, has said it won’t be able to comply with the rule because it violates the Wikimedia Foundation’s principles on collecting data about its users.)

How would one verify age without checking personal identity.

(And who would use a service which involves identification.)
Every time I read such lucid explanations of math like this I'm filled with resentment for the math instruction I received in junior high and high school in the U.S. There's a real sense of 'play' that these explanations evoke and that make thinking about numbers and their relationships genuinely fun and interesting. That sense of play was entirely absent from my early math education. It was all "These are the rules. Memorize them for the quiz tomorrow."

I can't help feeling like my math upbringing was akin to a child being raised by parents who speak their own made-up language. Integrating with the rest of the normal-language-speaking world is anxiety inducing and filled with challenges that may never be completely overcome.
