> the history of the domestication of the tomato" that Google essentially forced on recipe sites for SEO competitive reasons

That may help with SEO, but another reason is copyright law.

Recipes can't be copyrighted, but stories can. Here is how ChatGPT explained it to me:

> Recipes themselves, particularly the list of ingredients and steps, generally can't be copyrighted because they're considered functional instructions. However, the unique way a recipe is presented—such as personal stories, anecdotes, or detailed explanations—can be copyrighted. By adding this extra content, bloggers and recipe creators can make their work distinctive and protectable under copyright law, which also encourages people to stay on their page longer (a bonus for ad revenue).

> In many cases, though, bloggers also do this to build a connection with readers, share cooking tips, or explain why a recipe is special to them. So while copyright plays a role, storytelling has other motivations, too.

For many people outages are infrequent enough and short enough that an EV could be their main solution for getting through them. Maybe a couple outages a year, usually at most a few hours, with maybe every few years one that lasts 12-24 hours.

Today I tried finding a rather popular product I used recently, which I had forgotten the name. I had to search THREE TIMES before finding it:

First search (“products that do X”) got me a bunch of those comparisons sites, none of them containing the one I was trying to find

Second search (“ycombinator startup that does X”) got me a page of spam, but at least I found the product name

Third search (company name) got me an ENTIRE PAGE of ads and SEO optimized pages before the actual link to the actual product

I saw products in my search today and reverted back to my main concern on how AI is going to get paid for —> varying levels of advertisement, product placement etc.

We are currently in the growth phase of VC funded products where everything is almost free or highly subsidized (save chats sub) - i am not looking forward to when quality drops and revenue is the driving function.

We all have to pay for these models somehow - either VC lose their equity stakes and it goes to zero (some will) or ads will fill in where subs don’t. Political ads in AI is going to wreak havoc or undermine the remainder of the product.

Windows Vista begs to differ. https://archive.org/details/UXGuide

> Provide icons for all ribbon controls except drop-down lists, check boxes, and radio buttons. Most commands will require both
32x32 and 16x16 pixel icons (only 16x16 pixel icons are used by the Quick Access Toolbar). Galleries typically use 16x16, 48x48, or
64x48 pixel icons.

> Be sure to test your windows in 96 dpi (100 percent) at 800x600 pixels, 120 dpi (125 percent) at 1024x768 pixels, and 144 dpi
(150 percent) at 1200x900 pixels. Check for layout problems, such as clipping of controls, text, and windows, and stretching of
icons and bitmaps.

> Icons are pictorial representations of objects, important not only for aesthetic reasons as part of the visual
identity of a program, but also for utilitarian reasons as shorthand for conveying meaning that users perceive
almost instantaneously. Windows Vista® introduces a new style of iconography that brings a higher level of detail
and sophistication to Windows.

> Icons have a maximum size of 256x256 pixels, making them suitable for high-dpi (dots per inch) displays. These high-
resolution icons allow for high visual quality in list views with large icons.

> In the smaller sizes, the same icon may change from perspective to straight-on. At the size of 16x16 pixels and
smaller, render icons straight-on (front-facing). For larger icons, use perspective.

> Icon files require 8-bit and 4-bit palette versions as well, to support the default setting in a remote desktop. These
files can be created through a batch process, but they should be reviewed, as some will require retouching for better readability.

Nice icons were destroyed after high-DPI support, for some unknown-to-me reason.

To nitpick, properly being able to do these kinds of stability calculations are a considerably newer invention. E.g. the famous Vasa ship capsized in 1628 because at that time ships were still designed based on rules-of-thumb and the experience/intuition of the builders, with no stability calculations done.

About 15 years ago I was working at Te Papa, the national museum here in NZ and we had an exhibition on 'Monet and the Impressionists'.

I created a flash app where you could upload a photo and then paint an impressionist style painting from it. You could either auto generate or use your mouse to paint sections of the photo.

I only have the one screen shot of it now https://imgur.com/a/5g40UEr

If I recall correctly I I'd take the position of the mouse, plus a rough direction it was traveling in, and then apply a few random brush strokes which would have a gradient applied from the start to the end of the stroke which was sampled from the underlying photo. The strokes length would be limited if it detected any edges on the photo near to the starting point.

In the end it was only a couple of hundred lines of ActionScript but it all came together to achieve quite a neat effect.
Very much so - I worked at a place that tried to make all testers easily transferable between teams because apparently testing is testing. Except they didn't go so far as to do it for the team that tested some ancient Fortran application running on obscure hardware because it turns out that testers can be specialised.

As a slight aside, if anyone is interested in the topic the 'standard' introductory text is apparently 'Principles of Yacht Design' by Larsson and Eliasson. In particular, including a chapter on stability calculations. You can find an older edition freely available on archive.org.
“The web” is, by definition, a collection of things that are loosely connected and accessible (searchable, etc). While the current internet is still “a web”, it’s mostly a web of 2-3 massive properties, entirely operated by the same 2-3 companies, completely devoided of public apis (and sometimes even web accessible content). The fact that sometimes they have an html version makes them “websites”, I guess, but not really a “web of nodes” the same way it used to be

Another common phenomenon these days is that lots of businesses don’t even bother having a web presence - it’s all instagram, WhatsApp and tiktok accounts, mostly only accessible via apps (or worse, chat platforms like discord)

Would ChatGPT when live interacting with a user even have to respect robots.txt? I would think the robots.txt only applies to automatic crawling. When directed by a user, one could argue that ChatGPT is basically the user agent the user is using to view the web. If you wanted to write a browser extension that shows the reading time for all search results on google, would you respect robots.txt when prefetching all pages from the results? I probably wouldn’t, because that’s not really automated crawling to me.

> This was back in 2014, when a Google search result looked very very different than it does now. We were gaining traction and we wanted more. We saw the possibilities and it was a red-hot inspiration. Our dreams of being like the travel bloggers we looked up to seemed possible.

I’m impressed they even managed to become successful travel bloggers in 2014+.

SEO and being a travel blogger were both well trodden paths already.

I remember some friends saying they wanted to become travel bloggers ~2013 and I laughed because of the degree of saturation. Was already difficult to get an edge and a niche.

And in my experience, Google was well on its path of deranking blogs in favour of more corporate content in 2014.

I think it would bifrucate the obvious spam from the obvious real posters and make your job easier, even if there's more apps to go through. Lot of the worst is that vague middle land of "is this qualified? but it also kind of looks like AI because job applications expect a very specific format of resume".

So you'd win out that way. But I also don't sympathize too much as the "unqualifies just pressing apply" was a natural endstate of years of bad job requirement postings.
>Any smallish 1-2 hour meeting with a couple of people on it can easily cost thousands if you work out people’s hourly wage.

> kick existing owners in the teeth to fix this crisis

You're assuming a definition of "crisis". 2/3 of households own their own homes, and a big chunk of those that don't aren't looking to buy in any circumstances. As much as we hear about the high cost of housing, it's only an issue for an extremely vocal minority. That's not to say I don't view it as a problem (clearly it is) but I'm skeptical it's going to win any political battles.
Great. Housing should not be an investment and chasing ever-increasing property values as a society is obviously unsustainable. If you own a house as your primary residence, then its market value shouldn't really matter, because the value has no impact on your quality of life.
Thinking about SEO too hard sucks, but having a site that nobody can find (even when they already know about it and are specifically trying to find it again!) sucks even more.

That's not really surprising, considering that's exactly how interest rate increases are supposed to work. They crowd out a bit of business investment and a lot of housing investment [1]. This in turn cools the economy by curtailing construction.

Unfortunately, housing in most areas was screwed to begin with. This was not nearly the case with prior inflation bouts that required rate increases. The Fed was left with two bad choices. It did what it had to do.

If the economy was Windows XP, housing would be its networking stack - its most exploitable sector. This is largely because of local governance and regulatory capture [2]. Housing has been artificially undersupplied for 5 decades under a variety of pretexts, such as architectural integrity. It has effectively turned the sector into a pyramid scheme that captures the wages of renters.
