Amazon drives me absolutely nuts. I clicked on the link for Polya's 'How to Solve It' and it took me to a page with a $69.99 paperback and a link to a $10 e-textbook. I click the textbook link and now the paperback link is to an identical looking $16.45 book, the only difference I can tell is that it is the "reprint" edition (aren't they all reprints given the original was published in 1945?). The reviews and most information other than weight and size are the same. Which do I choose? Will I regret not having whatever was worth $53.54 in the original link. There doesn't seem to be anyway to know if I am buying some fly-by-night poorly printed edition for $16.45 or getting a good deal because they all seem to be the same product. I've seen so much garbage on Amazon lately, I just don't trust anything, not even the books.

> I'm not so keen on forcing successful businesses to ruin themselves

I don't really have a problem with that if they can't play nicely with others. Businesses come and go. But ultimately companies need some incentive to not fuck over the consumer, and "forcing successful businesses to ruin themselves" strikes me as a better option than fines at this point.
Yeah, the cybertruck is like a new dress shown in a fashion show. Perhaps a little too avant-garde for regular folks to wear/drive, but it pushes the envelope of what is considered normal and opens the way for others to try other innovative designs and materials. Sooner or later, the idea first showcased in Paris trickles down to H&M.

Even run-of-the-mill sedans and SUVs are looking more futuristic these days, and I like the trend. :)

> it's going to be very competitive on the used market once a million units are on the road

If a million units are on the road.

An unconventional design must dominate the market, and quickly so. Otherwise it just slowly settles into the position of a niche product that's expensive to fix.

It's cool to be the first mover that inspires a whole new generation of automotive design, like I said above, but being cool is not necessarily profitable.
Same with capacitance. So what? That’s the beauty of SI: just add a prefix.
Notion doesn’t really shine when it’s used as a markdown alternative or an editor, though their editing experience IS excellent (though admittedly, for simple cases, no app can really beat the simplicity of Markdown).

The things you can do with dynamic content (database) really make it more than a wiki. People can, and do, plan their whole life in it. Project management, SEO-indexable pages, lots of surprisingly cool stuff. I used to use it quite frequently, though my ADHD causes me gravitate a bit more heavily towards organizational mechanisms like it to cope.

Using it to make impromptu priority lists that will do a lot of the reorganization for me as I slot new content in is really nice. It’s a bit of overhead but it’s often worth it for anything nontrivial. I keep a backlog in it and use it for scratch work and rough design docs (final copy goes in our actual deployed-from-markdown docs).
bruh! with 100 mln elements in the dataset it is basically printing out previously known problems during testing.
> They seem to have done the minimal technical compliance with the order.

Not at all. Both the district court as well as the 9th circuit who affirmed the district court’s judgment explicitly stated that only the anti-steering guideline needs to be scrapped, that Apple is still entitled to their commission because it serves as payment for their IP and that Apple would be entitled to include an auditing provision in their developer agreement.

In fact, the courts noted how cumbersome this auditing process and after the fact collection of the commission would be.

In other words, this is not only fully sanctioned by the courts, but the expected outcome.

> But at the same time they put in as much friction as they could, including reframing the charge to developer as a lead commission

There was no reframing. It was always defined as such. Or to be more specific, the developer agreement always designated Apple as an agent to the developer, akin to a literary agent, and explicitly defined the commission as a payment for those agent services and Apple’s IP.

The commission has also never legally been tied to IAP or payment through the App Store, but rather directly tied to sales in general.

All the big parties that are now acting “shocked” that Apple would do this, such as Epic and Spotify, etc, have well paid legal departments that explained all of the above to the people in charge, so none of this is a surprise to any of them.

They just bank on you not knowing so you’ll be a willing pawn in their push to make their profits go up.

> Of course epic is going to challenge the spirit of the implementation but this definitely makes it murkier - can you still claim a monopoly if developers can technically allow purchase outside and have a choice?

There’s nothing to challenge. The courts have spoken and SCOTUS declined to hear the case.

It’s the law of the land and honestly, spelled out in a crystal clear plain language way in the judgments. None of this should be surprise to anyone.
I don't really like that because it's obviously a troll question. Its wording and a large number of significant digits clearly demands the acceleration of gravity to be reverse-engineered, so it can't be a real question even by a chance. One thing to consider if it's indeed real: how much water is in that well?

I don't think medical care is particularly well modeled as a market: it's not clear that a small town hospital really can have any competition, or that someone in an active medical emergency has any meaningful choice about which hospital they get sent to. Similarly for specialty treatment.

This was a powerful read. I’m so sorry that the author’s family is going through all this.

I found that the quote the author put at the end of his essay was very memorable.

“Stand at the brink of the abyss of despair, and when you see that you cannot bear it anymore, draw back a little and have a cup of tea.”
Ah yes, the Grenadier - BMW engine and modeled after a Defender. Certainly a paragon of reliability right here.
We gave up on iCloud for file sync, it’s broken on dozens of devices trying to “optimize” storage even when asked not to. Imagine having 4Tb (size doesn’t matter) mostly empty hard drives and not being “allowed” to keep a file copy offline, because iCloud knows better…

Now Apple is asking all file sync products like Dropbox to do the same, see Fileprovider API, breaking those as well. Really annoying

Great writeup and interesting experiments. I can’t help but wonder what would happen in you instead made a rectified linear attention. Is that even possible?
If you want your writing to still be readable on a computer from the 2060s or 2160s, it’s important that your notes can be read on a computer from the 1960s.
You still need some way to keep out the poor and underprivileged who are not good for business. Overtly stating they are not welcome doesn't fly anymore, but rejecting anyone who isn't in a position to be able to casually engross themselves in the sciences for several years for no reason other than personal enjoyment is a decent proxy.
i'm typing on that very same computer. it was a free replacement for my 2015 MBP, which had a battery problem that became a warranty/recall of some sort and they didn't have the parts to repair it.

my 'F' key is broken but still mostly works, the touch bar randomly doesn't work right (i think that's software though), and the battery is mostly shot. other than that, and the fact that i can no longer upgrade to the latest OS, this thing is quite adequate.
Now if we just move Americans from trucks to bicycles…
I'm not sure that comparison demeans Delorean's.

Both have a sort-of futuristic look, in a non-conventional way. Both (as cars) appeal to a tiny niche of (non overlapping) users.

Most of the current appeal of a Delorean, indeed probably the only reason it even still exists, is because of BTTF. It's cool in a weird way not a practical way. It's all styling (and doors) - as a car it's, well, not great.

Cybertruck is also really all about the styling. As a truck it's not special. It may turn out to be produced in small numbers. It'll likely be desirable as a collectors piece in the future.

Obviously with styling this distinctive it's not going to appeal to everyone. Most likely think it's ugly.

So comparing it to a Delorean I think is fair (although obviously their heritage - one company bombed , the other is changing the world - is obviously not the comparison being made.

> need for unlimited growth and profit will never align with healthcare

You’re extending concepts from one part of finance to another without context. Leveraged buyouts, the OG behemoth of PE, are not necessarily based on unlimited growth or profits. They’re one of the few models where steady-state (or even declining) profits sing.

(Not arguing for PE ownership of hospitals, by the way. I think they should be cooperatives.)
My little boy has loved them since ~12 months. He doesn’t get the concepts, of course, but they are [1] so well written with the infant, and the adult reader, in mind. And one day he will get the concepts earlier than I ever did.

His first word was “ball”.

[1] well, most of them
I made peace with the touch bar after I found out it could be customized, and I removed most of the default functions and put in a couple that I like having handy, including the ability to lock the screen at a touch.
I was just thinking about this. They're going for gold, but I think there's an easy solution that incrementally improves on the current situation without all the effort.

Right now you can download a webpage on most web browsers. It saves the html file and an associated folder. It would be cool if the web browsers placed that file and associated folder into a zip folder with a special file extension, and then the browser could read it on a double click as if you opened the html file.

Yes, I know it's limited. But dead simple. The format could evolve and get more bells and whistles over time.

Others mentioned epub. I do wish more sites offered epub downloads alongside or instead of pdf. Maybe browsers can do this, and maybe it'd be better than the simpler solution I suggested, but there are pros and cons to weigh here.
I guess I am a publisher - I make PDF files all the time with my scanner (or ios notes scanner function)

I also love to get .pdf manuals of all the things I buy. I do not want to crawl through someone's website with chat popups and other engagement techniques to find out how to use or fix what I already purchased. Some of them are 40 years old, but as readable as new ones.

I also have lots of things like financial documents I've received that are identical and readable even 20 or more years later.

Although it isn't the cool-thing-of-the-day, I think pdf has its place.

It might be like phone/laptop users vs server users. Most people with a phone or laptop want the new best hot updated thing immediately. The server folks want nothing to change, ever.
no, the disagreement is about whether the fact that Israel exercised some control over Gaza strip after it withdrew can count as "military control over Gaza strip"
In plan English, it's plainly absurd. If I own 10% of the stock of a company, nobody would say I have control over this company
But even if these arguments had any merit before Oct 7th, it's clear after that they make no sense. You can't claim with a straight face that Israel had military control over Gaza strip. It plainly did not, which is why Hamas was able to build a tunnel network and succesfully execute these attacks. And if it didn't have military control, that means it wasnt an occupation by definition of what an occupation is.
I admit it annoys me more than it should. It's harder to read, but easier to write. So it's easily interpreted that the author cares more about their convenience than about others. I don't like this attitude.
try your email with https://search.0t.rocks/ I checked mine and it did pop the Naz.API leak showing the first and last character of your password. Mine was leaked from Netflix
I think that describes most PDF readers. I suspect the GP means something more specific.
Nothing nonsensical about developers wanting better treatment or a better deal from a company asking for 30% of their gross margin.

Insofar that Walmart extracts margin out of its small suppliers, we don't see a lot of third parties sitting on the sidelines telling suppliers trying to negotiate better contracts that they need to shut up, pay up and that the third parties are "on Walmarts side".

To the extent that small suppliers wish to negotiate better contracts or apply pressure to a behemoth company for a better deal, I say 'have at it'.
Rather disappointed by the writers tone. It appears the food must be great cause exclusivity isn't alone worth the $130,000 initiation fee. But to compare the food to Olive Garden because it caters to the rich and powerful is a cheap shot.

Ken Thompson, Brian Kernighan, Bjarne Stroustrup, and Rob Pike used[1] sam.

Linus Torvalds used a variant of MicroEmacs that is non-extensible and has non-standard keybindings.

Bryan Cantrill used Vim without syntax highlighting.

What this tells me is that what matters is what you write and whether you finish it, not what you write it in.

[1] Past tense because things might have changed.
Completely different. But I think the other ones you mention are great too,
The problem is not putting bits onto the screen, that's all SDL does. It does not integrate at all with the host platform, to an even greater extent that chrome based crapware.

1. That's an opinion, not a fact, and most "declarative" UI frameworks have poor performance and can't do anything not explicitly models by the declarative framework. The fact that people want to just draw a UI doesn't mean that the resulting UI is either good, or works correctly, and the idea that it's "easier" simply implies lower understanding of what is being done and that you aren't considering any of the edge cases you still need to handle.

2. Not sure what to say here, as I don't know your point? it seems more about the type system of your language and not at all related to the ui toolkit

3. This is BS. html, css, and the DOM all have a very clear model for how and what a UI is, claiming it isn't means that you haven't apparently spent much time working in any other system. Much like I keep meeting people who say that they don't have an accent, everyone else does.

4. Application development is conceptually complicated unless your application is not doing anything interesting. I'm also curious what makes a browser ui more "simple" than say Cocoa?

5. Sandboxing is a part of the OS, not the UI framework. All applications on iOS are sandboxed, that vast majority on macOS are.

Application development is hard, and it's not because of the UI framework you're using. The overwhelming amount of any actual application is the application logic, not the UI.

Chrome based apps are all abysmal because to make an actual application using a browser engine, you need to reimplement, in html+JS, a huge amount of work the host OS would otherwise just provide for you.

If all you want is a webpage, just make a webpage, don't force everyone to download a 600Mb copy of chrome.
This is not a new algorithm. The same algorithm is described in Figure 4 (Theorem 3.1) of https://arxiv.org/pdf/2310.01655.pdf

> Basically, there’s an argument that iOS devices should be more like traditional PCs (including the Mac), on ethical or moral grounds. The “it’s my device, I should decide and control what software runs on it” argument. I get it. But I also get that most consumers’ Windows PCs, and many Macs,2 are riddled with bad software (privacy invasive, resource hogging, and all sorts of anti-user shenanigans you’d never think of) that App Store policies forbid. App Store review is far from perfect — I mean come on, that should go without saying — but it is undeniable that adversarial software is not a problem for any typical users on iOS.

This totally ignores that it's not a problem on Android either, a mobile platform that has enabled sideloading from the start and has a much larger marketshare than Apple.

There's some malware yes and some users are tricked into installing it but it's not widespread. And Android has a really great and safe FOSS ecosystem in F-Droid.
It's likely going to be recent devices. Older devices Android was tightly coupled to kernel version, didn't have a good hardware abstraction layer for drivers, etc. Basically android has been working on restructing itself under the hood over the years to be more maintainable. Further, older devices will be on LTS kernels which will already be outside their support window, so there's a ton work to be done updating the device tree to upgrade to a newer LTS kernel.

Short windows made sense simply because it was a lot of work to maintain old devices. Now that there's a more solid separation of concerns, longer support windows make sense.

The real power of HTMX and Web Components is that Web Components self-initialize when they get attached to the DOM, so they are easy to AJAX in. This was always a PITA in the jQuery world since you would have to hunt down the new interactive elements and run a library's init function on them.
I should have said "sorta human readable and easy to create" for HTML.

It's all about the apps.

Microsoft tried doing this with Windows phone, but they couldn't get traction among developers, which made their OS unattractive to end users, which made it unattractive to developers, which made it unattractive ...

Users don't just want a phone, they want a phone that can run all their apps. Developers only publish their apps to the App Store and Google Play, if you want to run the apps that your users want, you need to interface with one of those. This is even harder than the "Linux on the desktop" problem. If you have a good web browser, good support for .exe files (via Wine) and apps that can support most of the file formats users need (notably Microsoft Office files), you have a desktop OS that can replace Windows for most users, no cooperation from Microsoft or third-party developers necessary. You can't do that on mobile, even if you design a perfect iOS or Android emulator, users still won't be able to download any apps unless you get access to a store.
Fine tuning is training. Just done on smaller and higher quality dataset.

"Even with its shortcomings Conner wants to buy a Cybertruck but believes that Tesla oversold what the vehicle would be capable of, and for that reason, he believes it's probably Tesla's first dud."

This is not the first skeptical review of Tesla I have seen where the reviewer "still wants one" despite identifying various flaws.

If that is Tesla's usual customer, then it probably matters little whether Tesla delivers what it promises, as long as it delivers _something_.

These do not sound like discerning customers.
That argument is flawed.

A well-run healthcare system keeps people out of the healthcare system. Eg. every $1 spent in preventive care avoids $10 (not actual numbers) in other costs down the road through surgeries and other services.

Most PE-owned companies do well. Do a paper search for median employment N years afterwards [1], net indebtedness 5+ years post, et cetera.

The problem is outcomes are negatively correlated with transaction size, so the more noticeable a deal the more likely it goes wrong. (There are also a few pirates in suits who go shockingly unpunished. But judging the cohort by them would be like judging tech by Chamath.)
