The US has, from a policy perspective, become far more protectionist in the past 7 years and this is only looking to continue. I would not expect a direct correlation between the US and European economies going forward and if the protectionism only gets worst I would expect the economies, GDPs and the like, to greatly diverge in favor of the US.
I am honestly curious, what do you run on your server that you can't connect to with Tailscale?
> this trend of "announce big numbers, get headlines, then walk them back quietly in the coming months" rather alarming

Then you’ve just started following jobs numbers. They’re incredibly volatile when first released because of the way they’re collected. When the economy is moving, they have a decided bias. That said, this report revised up November and December’s numbers. That suggests we’re undercounting again.
> Specifically, what actually happens, in economic terms, to profit?

In an economic sense, profit occurs when an enterprise produces goods & services more valuable than its input costs.

Such economic profit is always desirable- whether it’s made by a private corporation, state owned enterprise or government department.

An economically unprofitable enterprise is a burden to its customers, owners or both.
Seems like with av1, Google had to stop self-sabotaging (turning on va-api has worked for most users for more than half a decade) & kind of had to move (because av1 is too beastly to do on cpu). Sounds like va-api has been turned on for almost a month now, but I haven't confirmed. https://www.phoronix.com/news/Google-Chrome-Wayland-VA-API

Maybe I'm missing something, but from what I could dig up it sounds like Firefox only enables va-api on Intel. https://www.phoronix.com/news/Mozilla-Firefox-115
Sounds like the issue is not the chip market but slowing government subsidies.
Not to mention that before this there was a huge shortage of skilled construction workers in America which has had upward pressure on housing prices.

What if those people cycle out of BBB jobs in a few years and into residential construction?
My guess is that going IPV6 only for load balancers would make it break for enough people that AWS thinks it would reflect poorly on their service.
> People (tech people at least) have lost sight of the fact that writing should happen in "word processing software"

The fact? Should? In "word processing software"? Why shouldn't it happen in "text editing software"? Writing produces text, after all.

Kids in 2034 will walk into a room and wonder why it's still dark, surely the everloving BigBroAI should have watched them do it and adjusted the lights already. Then they realize it's because their Internet connection failed, and really get afraid of the dark.
Is there a reason you think this is more concerning than every person owning a telephoto multi-lens high fidelity digital camera and using it in public constantly?

I'm not saying that to belittle, I'm just wondering what you perceive the difference to actually be.
Damn that private sector for inventing things that create progress. Let's pretend it's actually stopping progress when it creates progress.
Scaling in this context means for me that features are decorrelated from the payload sent to the browser.

If they are, it's good news as more stuff gets built into the product, you have time to figure out how to continue forward and you have more resources to throw at this small problem.

If they aren't, well this is some pretty bad news since the more feature you add, the more complex the tooling is going to be to make it work, it becomes exponentially harder to maintain.

As bad as Htmx might look visually, it's going to be significantly easier to scale on a large platform since everything is decoupled apart from some common js bits you could add here and there.

On the opposite spectrum, we have a React SPA at work with a 65mb bundle which take 2GB of ram just to build, caching & splitting is obviously a nightmare. That's what happens when you have a lot of engineers working on a product and the bundle isn't decorrelated from the features.
Alternative to working with a big silicon valley giant. If you want to integrate/use YouTube you need to deal with whatever that company puts you up with. And as the article states, you don't want them to become grumpy at you; otherwise, they will turn you off even quicker. The only alternative I see is to develop a new YouTube, which seems unreasonable given how dominant Google is.

That's not rent seeking.
Good point. But it seems you have to go back to the Pharaohs to find a time when we (well, slaves anyway) did those things for reasons other than profit.
A secondary issue here is that these are largely low quality honeypots that are easily avoided by actual attackers (and are avoided by many in practice) and solely seem to exist to fuck up statistical measurements.

I’ve ran honeypots, I still run some - it’s not hard to do properly. There’s hundreds of thousands of ones clogging up search results on Shodan, etc, though that are absolute rubbish
I wouldn't even get hung up on the website part. Pretty much any business traveler is making money when they're traveling and may even be doing business-y things like going to a conference or meeting with customers. Some countries require a special business visa for that but many/most don't and mostly don't give you a long precise list of what you can and can't do.
This article (and all others like it) always ignore the fact that mobile exists. Nowadays "front end" isn't just HTML pages being rended on some browser but also entire iOS and Android apps and maybe several others. Those APIs you think are an overhead are actually necessary regardless, and after that it's your server rendered HTML that instead becomes an additional burden to maintain. A SPA with dedicated front end engineers using the same APIs as the mobile ones is the most sensible approach for most apps.
These are great! Here are my personal curations / additions of go-to color links (general color theory stuff):

You have no right to not be filmed in public, in the US at least. Someone can already film you with their phone, what makes this any different?
I would be far more concerned with the proliferation of Ring doorbells and cloud connected security cameras and systems.

I actually wonder if some kind of post processing could be used to remove people from videos/pictures but that would require some kind of registry which causes its own problems
The Crichton Split of course was about coming up short in the budget department. So the storytelling was limited to interactions among 4 characters rather than 7. Those arcs were split every other episode. I think they did a stellar job despite those constraints but no doubt the production took a hit.

But the most telling thing IMO about Farscape was the dedication of the fans that actually pushed and got their conclusion in the Peacekeeper Wars. Contrast that with BSG where we basically got no resolution.
There is no ambiguity here.
I voluntarily join a club. I get benefits from the club and I have responsibilities to the club.

Of course I can eschew those responsibilities and then the club can deny me the benefits or kick me out.
Maybe it's gamified exercise for them? Chase the Paranoid, on the App Store for $1.99. Kinda like Pokémon but with real people.

It uses cloud facial recognition and emotion analysis to identify people who will likely run away at the sight of a Vision Pro, and lays out a perfect AR intercept course for the wearer. Eventually it builds up a database of runaway targets and will notify you if one is detected nearby. If you catch them faster than the last wearer did, you get on the leaderboard.

Rant ahead:

So, as it must be me not knowing, can you tell me why Word won't let me change table column size ~50% of the time (for the same table from the same source). Half the time autofit works (yay!), half the time it won't let me resize columns, neither by typing the number, nor dragging the invisible off-page divider (Microsoft should just make the transparency of off-page content 50%??), nor changing to draft view and dragging the actual dividers ... wtf is going on there? If I paste it into OneNote first then it fits ... sometimes, if I drag a column wider first (which it already rendered 5x the width OneNote did) then it will let me narrow it afterwards, what's that feature called AutoNoNarrowColumnRenderedIncorrectlyFiveTimes ExpectedWidth?? I'll just search the settings to turn that off ... oh wait!

These are the times I long for markdown, or 'reveal codes' ... MS Word has a lot of problems they could probably have fixed if they hadn't put so much effort into preventing interoperability. These sorts of issues were around 20 years ago when I stopped using Word, and 5 years ago when I restarted. Same asinine poorly implemented numbering and styles that are unintuitive, opaque, and ungainly ... and don't get me started on search! Multi-highlights? Sorry best I can do is "find next" with no find previous, no regex, ... you can do find in AutoText though, right, right? ... and all the AutoText and AutoCorrect gets saved in a single sensible format that's easily modified? ... Word changes the format of all windows when you open a new one too, just in case you thought the suck was restricted to within the window chrome ... and doesn't have always-on-top, and doesn't open windows in their last position, and ...

Doesn't suck ...???!

Whilst you're here, any ideas why OneNote eliminates footnotes so you can't cut-paste between Word and OneNote? I'm sure it's not flawed and I'm just holding it wrong, right ...?
Apple to show its GenAI efforts 'later this year'
> Walled gardens keep attention-span-harvesting profits on the inside.

A few different counters:

1. Steam is on an "open" platform and charges the same 30% for the marketplace access value as the rest of the industry, whether open or appliance/console, including Apple. So it is memetic but incorrect to argue that Apple being "walled garden" is causing Apple to take more from devs than other places devs can market their wares.

2. Apple's "ingredient labeling" telling users what personal data is being harvested and resold has changed a variety of apps' practices so the data is not, in fact, exfiltrating. In general, big tech is mad about this labeling, and wants out of it, since "profits" associated with secret resale of personal data are being prevented .. not kept inside. For what happens elsewhere, one need look no further than the $5B settlement from Chrome "Incognito" mode:

- https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2023/12/google-agrees-to...

3. If the argument is "attention span harvesting" means "ads" that package and sell users to advertisers, and that that is what Apple is gate keeping, on the contrary, the adtech ecosystem profits are not being kept "on the inside":

- https://support.google.com/google-ads/answer/10384955?hl=en

4. Coincidentally, Juno (what this HN post is about) is a one-time purchase. Nothing about attention-span harvesting from the garden or wall. It's app makers who are choosing the user-hostile attention-span harvesting, which causes them to be misaligned with users and Apple.
It reads like this article's unstated premise is that it's about what you should do in situations where you aren't in control, are being paid to do the things, and working with other people in the same situation. But why write articles about what we're forced to do for money? That situation is always borked and we wouldn't be there unless we were being paid. Who wants to think about and do work during non-work free time? Yuck.

Lets see some articles about what human people, not people hired to do corporate person's bidding, should do. In this context the case for SPA is even more diffuse. In fact, all the arguments about synching frontend and backend don't even makes sense: that kind of thing is cargo culting.

Human persons when operating of their own free will working on their own projects should definitely not start with SPAs. They shouldn't even start with javascript dependent frameworks. Just put an HTML file in a directory.

I am lazy and a sucker for basic luxury. I tried, and I realize I could be living a lot cheaper. But I highly doubt I can live cheaper anywhere else at the same standard :)

However I recommend anyone to find their place and lifestyle and look as far as possible!
I don’t consider myself a typical “entrepreneur” and I don’t think others generally would, either.

The thing is, I have businesses that just made obvious sense. They aren’t in the glorious technology sphere, and I’m not trying to grow them aggressively. They were all formed based on a need I had, usually because having a business that did “X” was cheaper than paying one to do it. Now, collectively they make me very comfortable.

In my experience it’s not about “big” or exciting decisions to create a business, it is about efficiency with money and time.
Nothing innately "wrong" but I can see it fueling resentment among working class Japanese towards these foreign, exclusively-wealthy digital nomads.

Indeed, there was also for one a pandemic (exogenous shock) which most certainly changes ideas of productivity and measuring economies. I am not aware of economists that are using more advanced AI in their analysis -- does anyone know of cutting-edge economists who are using much more modern tools for inspecting economies?
Sorry, this is too ambitious and overstated. A thesis about a four decade long, all reaching economics phenomenon needs much more research and evidence to be taken with any seriousness.
Just because you can come up with an unlimited number of ideas, does not imply that all ideas are of the same value. I can think of an unlimited number of numbers with > 10,000 digits, but almost certainly, none that I think of will be special(lets say, prime). But, those special numbers (or ideas) are out there, lurking.

I think your line of thinking discounts how absolutely novel and groundbreaking even the idea was. It's an example of someone seeing something about reality that basically the rest of the population of the world managed to miss. I think that's pretty special - even if there was no realistic plan to implement the idea.
What in the world would a waiter or a doorman be using this for while on the job? Also, you are already being filmed at the restaurant, or the theater entrance. If you enter someone's property they don't need your permission to film you.
That may have a positive effect, like being tarpit for bad players (that should be more than "legal" vulnerability scanners). If that slows down them enough with attractive enough false positives it may protect a bit the real exposed ones.
They're welcome to film me pointing and laughing at them for appearing in public.
Profit doesnt pay for salary. Salaries are an expense to the company. Profit is whats left over after all of that and is what the company can give back to the shareholders through dividends and stock buybacks.

I would guess that in a profitless world there would be something different than a 401k for retirement. Humans can exist without profits.
all the youtube apps suck. I can't tell you how many times I've accidentally clicked on another video while watching the one I actually am trying to watch. If you aren't full screen they fill up half the space with giant links to other videos and there's no confirmation or option for confirmation. I'm not sure anyone who works on them actually uses them in real life situations.
I think the roadmap could be as follows:

1. A standard appears to communicate that you don't want to be filmed (let's say QR code)
2. Some consumer-friendly company follows to implement it
3. EU publishes a directive in Europe for devices to respect this requirement (with some exceptions for security surveillance, etc)
4. Eventually even some of USA companies follow on with this practise
The factory isn't like factorio factories, it is more like rimworld where the monsters go and do the tasks they are fit for and ferry items to where they belong.

So the main gameplay loop there is you have tasks you want done, you go out and search for and catch monsters that can do those tasks and then build out more and more. You don't have to do a lot of focused thinking like in those factory design games, such games takes too much effort to be as popular as palworld.

How is that weird? They are trying to pull in people to spend more money in the Japanese economy.
actually I recently visited with some cantankerous, illiterate and poor people in California and many were definitely filming things aggressively with phones, and posting the videos too.. the quality of the video as far as focus and lighting are often really good. The content is often the most ridiculous and/or ugly personal confrontations.. strange days

But it collapsed for reasons that can't be reversed or maneuvered around. For all the talk about the more esoteric reasons for journalism's problems like partisan polarization or Big Tech— which aren't wrong but are mostly higher-order correction terms— the fundamental problem is much more simple: most journalism was paid for by things other than reader revenue. Classified ads, movie showtimes, and a whole bunch of other revenue streams were actually what propped up newspapers; these were all obliterated by the Internet and they won't ever return.

At no point in history has journalism ever survived on subscription revenue alone, there was merely an anomalous period where it didn't need to because there were enough sources of supplemental revenue. But now that period is over, and so we have to think about a business model that can survive given the reality of "subscription revenue is not enough and can never be enough".
This 100%. You also have to keep in mind that taking photos in public spaces is protected under the first amendment in the US. Yes, the first amendment has become a bit unpopular lately but even then, fighting this battle is going to be extremely difficult.

What I do wonder is how private space owners will deal with AR/VR.

Wouldn't this be more of a Ship of Theseus scenario than outright extinction?
While the author explains that the front and backend are coupled, I think they overstate the coupling of client/API but don’t account for the numerous and disparate factors that motivated the popularity of SPAs to begin with. It’s perhaps out of scope of a comment to go into those details, but anyone who’s built and had to evolve large business applications on the web in the early 2000s is familiar with the headaches of the traditional server side techniques [sweats in server-side includes, ASP.NET form state, unnecessary db calls loading whole pages when only part has changed, etc.]. Not even getting into other benefits (API reuse and the flexibility to support multiple clients and use cases simultaneously).

In my opinion, the two major problems are tooling (which I think is more of an issue with browsers and the deficiencies of JS) and people using SPAs as an all purpose solution (does your blog or marketing homepage really need to be a SPA, really?). The former has seen steady improvements, but at any rate I’ll eat the cost of because it’s worth it for some of the larger systems I have to build and maintain. The former, well I dunno what to tell you, the cargo cult has been a fixture in this industry for a long time. I don’t think wearing a “you’re a bad person if you develop SPAs” helps (not accusing OP of this, but remarking on a general attitude) but in fact furthers the problem by pressing devs into binary thinking rather than evaluating and making decisions on their own.

So I’m with you: I won’t be shamed for having written SPAs and I’ll continue to do so as needed
Well, with regard to profit-making, yeah, tech promised and delivered — short term profit anyway.
What about an enterprise in economic balance, making nearly zero profit because it shared surplus revenue with the workers, even after all of the interest payments on the loans given out by the investors (can’t forget the investors, of course)?
> But what even happens to profit?

It gets invested into companies that doesn't make profit yet. Where did you think investment capital comes from? So profits is the company paying it forward, the company lived off investments at the start and later pay that forward in the form of profits to build new companies via investments.

> It’s redistributed to various yacht companies and the like.

Only a tiny part of profits goes to luxury consumption, rich people generally don't consume a lot relative to how much they have, otherwise they wouldn't continue to get richer.
I think youtube ads are terrible and frequent because youtube decided they have no competition and if people want to watch videos, they'll either put up with that shit or pay for premium which is what youtube actually wants.
Sure, we’ve been doing things wrong for thousands of years. Doesnt mean we cant correct that.
But your front end is still coupled to the structure of that JSON, which is often fine, but it is coupling
