I can get an AI to write 50k bad articles and publish them on my site, with the publish dates set back to before 2021.
Warranties are always presented in terms of years rather than TBW. When shopping you have to go to the manufacturers' websites and pull the data sheets for every single model. Two drives for the same price could both have 5 year warranties but have vastly different endurance ratings. It's similar to x-mile, y-year warranty system with cars but in this case you have to hunt down the x-mile piece yourself.

On top of that, newer versions can release within same product line but have much worse endurance ratings. For example, my old Corsair MP600 2TB drives from 2020 are rated for 3600 TBW. The newer MP600 Core XT and Elite models have 450 TBW and 1600 TBW respectively. My MP600 drives are currently at 1.5-2.0 PB written.
And if you include the smart tv board, you can then lower the purchase price of the TV and make it up on ads and subscriptions. The resulting price competition on smart TVs is what makes it hard to buy dumb TVs.
I'd disagree with that. Most people I know that use social media for marketing are just following the eyes, making as many people as possible aware that they exist and have done something. If you don't try to put your work out there nobody will know you've done it. If the economy of attention didn't lead far there would be no advertisements.

Where you getting this information that tasks and IEnumerator can’t be used for games? I’ve been using Unity for 10 years and tasks and Ienumerators are used as coroutines all the time. Recently worked on Hello Kitty Island Adventure and almost all game logic goes through an async coroutine library. Most memory worries are in graphics and object overhead, not coroutine stack allocations.
Rust's language-level support for pattern matching (including exhaustiveness checking) is very nice. Most languages with sum types have this feature. It's hard to imagine one without the other. I haven't used `std::variant` much, but I remember finding it unergonomic. Real-world C++ code uses `std::variant` way less often than Rust/functional code uses sum types. Probably, for that reason

UPDATE: also, some advantages coming from the interaction of enums with other Rust language features:

- Because Rust doesn't have a stable ABI, the compiler is free to agressively optimize the layout of enums. The size of an enum is often equal to (rather than greater than) the size of the largest variant, if the variant has some "impossible" bit values (like null pointers and non-UTF8 chars) that can be used for storing the tag.

- Because Rust traits can (and must) be implemented outside of the type definition, you can implement a trait directly for an enum and then use that enum as a polymorhpic "trait object". In C++, if you want to polymorphically use an `std::variant` as a subclass of something, you need to define an ackward wrapper class that inherits from the parent.

Google makes about 200bn per year in advertising revenue (see quarterly figures here: https://searchengineland.com/google-ad-revenue-q4-2023-43704...).

The world’s population is about 7.8bn, with about 60% of people being online (https://ourworldindata.org/internet).

If we assume that about 90% of people use Google, that’s about 4.2bn people using Google search.

200/4.2 = 48 USD per year per person.

So, 120 USD per year is more than the implicit cost of using Google, but it’s in the ballpark. I think the 48 figure would increase if you adjusted for people primarily accessing the internet through facebook, whatsapp, or youtube, which I would guess is quite common.

It goes even deeper. If OpenAI has 100M users, and they consume let's say 10K tokens per month on average, that means 1 trillion tokens are read by the user base, who then go out and act in the world, at the very least they will read the text. The impact of AI onto the world is huge because we flock to it by the millions.

Such a massive new source of text will surely influence how language is spoken and potentially support many activities, including scientific research. One of the consequences will be much wider circulation of information, as users only need to point it to the right direction and it will readily combine information across multiple fields. Recently updated AIs might be even more informed than domain specialists because nobody got time to read everything new, like LLMs, we still need most of our time for work.

> The iPod was the start of their other core competency, services + licensing, and the iTunes store.

Sure, but when it launched, and while it was developed, this was not even remotely considered a core competency of the company. Which was my point. That core competency did not exist when the iPod was being worked on (and presumably could have been canned). And that’s the same case here.

> An iPhone/iPad is a variation of a laptop at the end of the day.

That’s an extreme stretch. To the point where Apple itself disagrees with how they’re being segmented. If it was just a variation, you’d have seen a combination of product lines and features at this point.

Gameplay and narrative don't hook into that acquisitive gambler's streak nearly as well as "all the unlockable things".

I do agree with you, generally, that this is a bit of a cheap trick and far too ubiquitous. However, there is something to be said for giving the player "things to do" like unlocking content. It does add to the experience to have a sense of "this is why I'm still playing".
We maintain a list of around 1000 major publishers across the world and we crawl it every 15 minutes. For every other publisher (smaller blogs, etc..), they come through our global crawl.

The list itself isn’t particularly hard to maintain. What’s hard are the myriad of rules and configurations required to crawl and scrape each publisher. We built a model that extracts article data and it does a good job figuring out headlines, images, authors, and text.

Scraping rules are very self-manageable if you're planning on crawling just a few publishers. But jt gets exponentially more difficult to crawl hundreds.
I think it's because all the financial systems for 95% of daily life are not tied to your identity in the same way as in the US.

There is no long trail of credit and debt that will chase you, requiring validation and checks at every step in your life. So getting someone's identity doesn't change much. getting anything from a phone subscription to student loans, to getting jobs is basically equal no matter what. They aren't allowed to block you except in rare situations. They aren't allowed to request a lot of the information you would need in the US.

And if your identity get's stolen in Europe the systems in place are way more flexible and reversible. So if a theft is found, it's effects are reasonably easy to undo.

Ever noticed how identity theft in the US is never directly stolen items or money? It's all about getting access to systems (credit / accounts / banking).

> add .await after every function call, and then remove it again wherever the compiler complains

Should be something Rust (and JS runtimes!) should somehow check/complain. It's just too easy to forget to await on a function returning a Future/Promise. Rust at least will complain if the returning types don't match some expected value and hint a helpful "help: consider `await`ing on the `Future`". Typescript, well tslint, has "no-floating-promises" which is also helpful.

I thought I'd run the numbers on this for a Solterra in my area. Assume 35 MPG for reference since that's my car's EPA highway mileage, so 20 miles of gas is 0.571 gallons. At $2.85/gallon that costs $1.63.

EA's charging here is priced at $0.44 per minute, so with that budget you can charge for 3.70 minutes.

Assume it spends that whole time at 80 kW. This is probably optimistic, it will take time to ramp up to that. But we'll forget about that, and assume the car starts from near empty because the Solterra's charging curve is trash and will begin throttling the speed down when it's about 35% charged.

3.7 minutes at 80 kW gives us 4.93 kW of charge. EPA rates the vehicle at 3.23 miles/kW, so for the equivalent price of 20 miles of gas we've added... drumroll

15.9 miles of charge.

With other vehicles or in an area with different gas/charging pricing, your mileage my vary. And if you look at a straight ICE competitor of the same size as the Solterra as the MPG reference it will be worse than 35 MPG (requiring more gas and giving you a higher charging budget), so basing this on my smaller car did limit that. But regardless, fuel price isn't necessarily a huge advantage for a rental EV.

If I were talking price for L2 charging at home in my garage then I'm sure the EV would be way cheaper, but that's now how anyone will be using a rental.

SM platforms like Twitter and Facebook are Time Squares. People ignore most of the posts, stare at something for 2 seconds if it catches their attention in some way (bait usually), and point to what really interests them (retweet,…). And sometimes you stumble on an active discussion (in the analogy, it would be like pointing a camera to those involved and showing them on the big screen with speakers blaring)

Then you have forums which are like lecture halls, IRC like apps (Discord, Slack) which feels more like classroom (without the teacher) and finally, the direct conversations in Whatsapp, Messenger and Telegram.

I agree that most recipes are terrible. And a lot of them aren't even sensible. As in, if you'd follow them, you'd not really get a usable product out of it. Maybe an overcooked mush, a runny sauce, or just slightly flavored water instead of a broth.

But other than that, I think recipes, especially online, tend to be way too simplistic. The biggest crime is that they use way too few spices. Not the amount, but the diversity. Especially for sauces and marinades. I get that creators have to appeal to a broad audience without specialized ingredients available, but please at least mention them if they would optionally enhance the flavor.

And recipes tend to not mention optional cooking techniques that would make the finished product better if employed. Things like deglazing a pan, blanching vegetables in preparation, specific ways to cut vegetables into appropriate chunks, etc. Recipes aren't really meant to teach you those techniques of course, but sometimes it really makes sense to employ them at the right time. It would be nice if the recipe would at least mention what you can do to improve the quality.
> This a good article with some fascinating history.

Indeed. I don’t think it’s all correct, though. On Visicalc, it says “The grid cells couldn’t be styled with borders for presentation purposes, the values couldn’t be formatted, and the tables couldn’t even be printed”

I think I even the first version had (limited, of course) formatting support.

http://www.bricklin.com/history/refcard3.htm says the “/F” command allowed setting justification and setting the number format to, for example, dollars and cents.

It is for version 1.35, but I think even the first version shipped supported at least showing dollars and cents.
The article mentions that incorrectly as well. Or is that what GP is?

Apple is an electronics company. The iPhone was a "small" change from an iPod. The Apple watch is not really a watch. It is essentially a mini iPhone with a wrist strap. Now a car on the other hand, you can't just attach wheels to an iPhone or Mac and call it a car. There's an entire set of rules and regulations they've never dealt with. There's an entire industry of suppliers they've never dealt with. Apple is not a car company. Perhaps they thought doing some sort of EV was close enough to their competencies to make it work. In the end, they probably figured out they had to be a car company to make it work and they very much don't want to be a car company.
