Please stop following Google who is trying to turn the Web into an OS for their own ad-fueled, user-tracking profit.

If you want to make connected (or not) apps, there's already the Internet and OSes for that. And you don't have to make your interface worse by fighting with the browser about it ! (Especially important for games and other "deep" software.)

The whole point of the Web is to be an hyperlinked collection of documents, sometimes multimedia, with maybe a little bit of interactivity with some forms and scripts sprinkled on that.

(As an example to how incongruous the current situation is, imagine a parallel universe where it was Adobe rather than Google that got humongous, and it was the JavaScript in PDFs that was (ab)used instead to make apps.)

Am I the only one who remembers Opera? Granted it was much more niche than Firefox.
It is also going to be more reverts.

If you split 200 lines of code into 4 x 50 you are actually going to have 0.85 x 4 reverts or 3.4x reverts with this strategy.

But overall the whole data is terrible and infuriating because likely the changes are very different in the dataset depending on the loc.
Having briefly interacted with the founders of Google a couple of times, I'm pretty sure it's by design. I think that at some point, they recognized that Google must turn into a big, boring company that communicates in platitudes. There is no other way to do it when you have 150,000 employees, trillions of dollars at stake, and every regulatory agency in the world wants a piece of you. Even in the late 2000s, when Google was one tenth the size and was near-universally loved, the model of having frank fireside conversations with execs was already stretched thin.

They basically decided they want to reap the benefits of the company's success, but work on pet projects and not be the face of this anymore. Sundar was and is a perfect pick for a CEO - that is, if you accept that Google really couldn't outrun fate.
Oh I don't know, I could see it being useful it it's possible to hook up with rtk-query or react-query, to prevent duplicate requests from multiple instances of an app that might be running.

Though I guess this might just trigger all the requests on all that tabs anyway. I suppose you'd have to add architecture to start one instance of that app as the 'controller' and then a way to pass off controller responsibilities to other tabs... which sounds like basically "step 2: draw the rest of the owl"

Since I just noticed this is an extension rather than a library, I think it's probably more useful for automating interactions with a number of tabs of the same page (but puppeteer or something similar would probably be a better fit for this also)

Maybe I had a particularly bad experience, but what you describe is what I was expecting.

What I got was 5 months of hot potato juggling, inept delivery advisors (which I later discovered to be because they had no power and rigidly stuck to their what their portal says), confusion and countless hours spent handholding a very simple order. Only for it to collapse at the end because pricing changed (BECAUSE of delays when Tesla messed up the order).

Anyway ... joke company, and I'll not go near them again.
It's frustrating, every article just repeats "2MW capacity." Gravitricity hasn't announced this project themselves yet, hopefully when they do they give the actual storage capacity.

But I think 2MWh might be correct - in press elsewhere Gravitricity says 500t over 800m produces 1MWh. This is a deeper depth but not that much, and this is very much an experimental project so I think they might be sticking to 500-750t mass. They anticipate larger systems using multiple masses rather than a single larger one. Still, they've also announced a 4MWh project in the UK, so it's not like they see 2MWh as a limit.
That upplays the financial incentives and downplays the psychological incentives. Cops seize stuff not only to have the money or shiny stuff, but also for the rare trill of punishing "bad people". In their job it is extremely rare to get the "job accomplished" endorphins, they see too many "bad people" (either real criminals or perceived as so by the cop) go free. So they create scenarios in their head about how the person is a criminal and then get the immediate endorphins for punishing the "criminal", restoring cosmic balance to their world. It is the old "do action -> get endorphins" mechanism, and if allowed cops will continue doing it even if you remove the direct monetary incentive.
I live and ski in this area[0]. Have season's passes to Burke Mountain and even met Stenger and Quiros back when they were running the ski areas.

On the slopes, at my coworking space, and around the campfire in the Summer, the topic of how to make this little pocket of Northeast Vermont more economically viable is a topic that comes up often.

I'm starting to form an opinion that we shouldn't try to compete, at any level, with larger job centers. We lost a huge (per capita, it was never large in total dollar values) number of manufacturing jobs over the past 20 years. That's not coming back. Perhaps there's a niche for us, and other rural communities in creating a great place for people to live and work remotely. Funding co-working spaces and high speed internet is a lot easier than getting a manufacturer to move in given that we have a tiny labor market.

Bigger issues for getting any population growth is our perverse tax and housing regulations. Not going to go into them in depth here but we have a water protection act that adds 10-20% to any construction project near water and wetlands even if the area already has a lot of development. Besides making things more expensive, it also encourages sprawl since many communities are built near water but it's cheaper to build in the hills surrounding them away from wetlands. One of the only ways to make a real estate investment pay off up here is to buy a plot, subdivide into 3 acre lots, put in a road and electricity and sell housing lots. The hassle of dealing with Act 250 doesn't make it worth it to do the actual development and so you don't see it. The only developments in my area are either 40 years old or the aforementioned building lots.

We also have an aging and decrepit housing stock and the tax structure for capital gains strongly penalizes flipping houses which is an accelerator on updating housing inventory. Instead, housing investment, like many places, is solely in short term rental or buy and hold/rent.

Why are people using "learnings" as a word, when "lessons" already fits all its use cases? It's quite jarring.
I think you left out the sarcasm tag
“Refactoring at the org level” sounds like re-orgs and layoffs.

I think it’s unavoidable. You hire to grow, but growth changes you. You can’t layoff to un-grow and return to former self because they layoffs take a toll.
I like the Lightning but as a practical matter it's a little bit of a tough sell. Pickups are so terribly inefficient to begin with that it needs a boatload of battery just to have acceptable range. That's expensive, and also increases the time it takes to charge. I commend Ford for the ambition to make an electric version of their best selling vehicle, but I think that segment will be stronger when 200+ kWh batteries are affordable and flattish 350kW charge rates are the norm.

In support of your scepticism I have to say there is something I'm always missing in these discussions about the alleged function of the appendix. That thing that I'm missing is a straightforward description of what are the consequences of patients losing these functions after an appendectomy. Surely there is more than enough population over which to do a case-study observational analysis? So, where is it? What happens to the immunity or gut flora of people who have had their appendices removed? Anything?

I’m not sure Google leadership appreciate how fragile their search business is. The core product has slipped significantly in quality and is ripe for disruption.

> refurbished hardware (a random mix of old laptops in a large-scale deployment lol)

On the refurbished laptop market, I see large amounts of the same series of laptops, often Thinkpads, for example. I assume this is because companies will replace entire collections of hardware dated for their purposes. I don't think it is too far-fetched to connect this market to schools in individual districts.

> a laundry list of other "technology solutions" which would be, obviously, impossible for a school system to smoothly maintain or even deploy.

They're gonna make money due to inertia for a while, until suddenly they won't, and then there won't be anything left to use to salvage the situation. When that happens, there are going to be a whole lot of "Whatever happened to Google?" articles that are going to be easy to sum up as "a long history of shortsighted decisions by inept management finally added up to more than the older history of good, forward thinking decisions ever did."
I found Termination Shock to be his worst by far, in large part because it felt too contemporary. It felt awfully similar to a music album mandated by the studio to an artist that really didn't have anything to say, so he just skimmed trending news of the time, went down a shallow rabbit hole or two then wrote a half-hearted but verbose blog post and called it a novel. I didn't get any sense of passion from it.
The question remains. Waymo is not really a product and it's unclear when it will become one in a broadly-deployed way.
Nah, the brakes have definitely been thrown on over the last few years. The US has had back-and-forth with China and Canada, e.g. the huge tariff on that Embraer plane, export restrictions on computer chips, and I think the steel tariff dispute is still simmering away. The UK has pulled out of the EFTA and that's affected supply chains a lot. China has cut off the workarounds that allowed offshore ownership of stock in their companies, a whole lot of what was tolerated in Hong Kong is not being tolerated any more. And that's before you get into the Russia situation - cutting off SWIFT is pretty much unprecedented, and the oil price cap stuff is also new. Global trade is very much less free than a decade or two ago, and that trend is accelerating.
I sincerely hope they never earn a dime.
If you scroll down to the Stony Brook results, they compare it to more modern CPUs.

I've had access to one of these (interested in it for its massive amounts of IO bandwidth for the power budget), and its stunningly fast. And yes, it runs FreeBSD.
Considering they just gutted their AR team I wouldn’t hold my breath on this one. Too bad they couldn’t wait for Apple to launch the Vision Pro, because I bet they’d get a lot more excitement now that the press is out.

Google Photos was pretty great. But yeah, Google is a utility company to me at this point. Search, Maps, GSuite, Chromecast, YouTube: it'd be nice if they could keep the things we use running and charge a reasonable price. Why is the Chromecast with Google TV still using such underpowered hardware?!
Try it again, this time keep in mind that your previous record was focusing for 3 seconds. I try to convince myself an effort is precisely as pathetic as it sounds.

Aim to make it all the way to 6 seconds. Tell yourself this is a major accomplishment for you - a 100% improvement.

Then you need to take a break, have something to eat. Stretch your muscles, do some shadow boxing and see how far you can make it beyond 12 seconds.

Scream inside your head, YES I'VE MADE IT!

The other thought processes deserve to be mocked like this.
>1. change the width of the window. you will see the layout of the page change at least 10 times.

I didn't see that, it reflowed immediately for me.

>2. scroll down. you will see the layout of the page change at least 4 times.

I didn't notice anything.

>3. the single most important part of the page, the NAVIGATION, is hidden inside a drop down. so every single navigation for every page forever takes a click, mouse down and click again. instead of just clicking a link like the old style.

OK, but dropdown menus have been common for ages, I remember messing with Superfish back in the JQuery days, and the menu options seem to load on hover for me.

>4. fixed elements on the top AND side.

Yes, and? The point of that is to keep common navigation elements within easy reach of the mouse, rather than requiring the user to have to scroll up to the top of the document. It makes navigation easier.

I can see we're going to have to agree to disagree about this, since you're clearly emotional about it, I won't press the issue. I personally didn't find this site to be a "painfully obvious over engineered piece of shit" nor did I find navigation to be at all difficult.

Thanks, I will change that in the article. I appreciate your feedback
I'm not sure that the density of the material itself really matters much; having the weight take up less space doesn't really reduce the overall power of the system very much (the weight is probably not occupying a very large portion of the shaft's height). That said, lead is also dirt-cheap and is more than 11x denser than water.

Gravity batteries are cool. They don't make a lot of economic sense by themselves, but they do if the vertical height already exists and doesn't need to be constructed.

Given the assumption that someone accumulates about 507k by 65, 4% of that is roughly 20k per year, which, without having other assets like a home, would prove to be very difficult to live anywhere in the US on.
> are not ready yet with infrastructure for electric cars

The same infrastructure they need for everything else in their life. I bet they have way better access to electricity than they do hydrogen. Or even gasoline, frankly. Solar panels are cheap.
Probably system or driver issue resulting in lending/grabbing the maximum amount for no reason. Performance-wise, 4 GB dedicated video card gets no benefit from those extra gigabytes in RAM buffer anyway.

Do Quadro cards support some kind of “fat and slow” compatibility mode for software that demands giant memory size on a professional card to fit all the data there, and can wait to get the results? Maybe there's some switch you've toggled to enable “20 GB VRAM” mode?

I think they're saying Pixel is leading everyone in still image quality.

Pixel is assuredly NOT leading in video recording quality though. And the overall package still matters: for example X% superiority in still photos didn't make up for Pixel 6 having a very small photo buffer / a slow camera startup speed. Didn't make up for lens cracking issues in Pixel 7. iPhone just works.

User asked these questions (https://github.com/rustdesk/rustdesk/discussions/6444#discus...):

"why this certificat is in root store.
why this certificat have a validity of 10 years and only use SHA-1.
why this certificat is different from the DLL one."

RustDesk's answer:

"Frankly, as for 1,2, we do not know either, we are not expert in this field, maybe because it is test cert.
As for 3, dll is OV cert, but the driversigning requires EV cert, we do not have EV cert, so we use test cert as a workaround.
Someone in HN does not believe we do not have EV, but we really have not. :(
But now I think it is time for us to get one."

Slightly off topic, here is the best local llama.cpp wrapper I've run into:

https://github.com/Mozilla-Ocho/llamafile

You can download any .gguf model (not just the ones in their examples) and run it locally (as long as you have the ram for it). I was running 7B models with ease on an old FX8350 and now 13B models on a 5600X (32GB RAM on both machines).

This wrapper spins up a local web server that runs a simple web frontend to use immediately with no code, but also exposes an OpenAI compatible API for dev work and alt frontends (like SillyTavern).

Does it actually take 150k employees to produce Google's output? They grew by like 30k employees since 2021 but I'm not seeing correspondingly more or better products.
On the contrary, it's not one-size-fits-all.

It doesn't support everything other backends need (like certain quantization schemes). If it somehow does, then its not universally compatible and that's just going to create more confusion.
