Products no, I don't think that will happen. The market will be so small and manufacturers won't service that market due to cost. For services, maybe. I can see a bank or an ISP advertise with "No AI customer service, only real people" and especially elderly paying extra for that service.

One thing that I do wonder about is the value in adding AI and "Smartness", what if people don't use it? I know practically no one who uses their smart TV as anything but a monitor (and speakers). Everyone adds an AppleTV or a ChromeCast. My in-laws used Netflix on their Sony TV for a bit, but it was slow and two years ago Netflix stopped being supported on their TV and I gave them an old ChromeCast. Backed in AI could easily end up in the same situation. It's omni-present, but rarely used. That's a problem with the current logic behind innovation where little market research is done and companies are afraid to remove functionality as it may make them look less competitive (in the eyes of shareholders).

Someone point out that apparently Romanian online electronics retailers have a pretty nice selection of dumb TVs, at least they did a few years ago.

It’s probably my favorite of the AI features on Apple devices now.

My wife and I both have a habit of sending multiple small messages rather than a large one. Probably because we both used IRC extensively on the past and grew up on length-limited SMSes. The summaries are very very handy at letting me glance at my notification's and see if anything in her last x messages needs a reply now or whether it’s just “chat”.

I’ve found LLM summaries of stuff in general to be one of the handiest uses of it personally.

Is this really the case? Has this specific situation ever been ruled on by the Supreme Court? Burdick v. U.S. doesn't address "pre-pardons" or blanket pardons. Nixon was never prosecuted or tried.
JLR Gaydon is not in the metro area of Birmingham. It's in nice countryside and near a motorway which helps, but it's a fair commute out of Birmingham at rush hour to there. The nice surrounding towns/villages are expensive, and even the shitty ones aren't cheap (hello Banbury) as they're on the edge of commuter distance to London.

Derby I haven't lived in but know people who have. It's an old manufacturing town and hasn't much to offer graduates. Or anyone really. The Peak District is great, and if you can live out that way and commute in then do it. But again, you won't have similar people for local friends.
I didn’t say it was unenforceable, just pointing it there’s nothing special about which parties voted for it out by how much.

But also at the end of the day the executive branch has sole power to enforce it or not, and if the president doesn’t want to enforce it there’s really nothing Congress or the courts can do about it other than impeaching him, which realistically won’t happen. The two parties have captured the system of three-way checks and balances, and a cult of personality has captured the party with trifecta power. That’s the game, folks. We live in an autocracy now.
> WFH has also made things worse. These last 5 years (including one at home during COVID) have been the worst years of my life in terms of people.

As opposed to the device unexpectedly shutting down due to a degraded battery not being able to push enough energy to support the CPU? They didn't remove expected performance, they prevented crashes which are by definition 0 performance. All Li-ion batteries degrade over time. That's not removing a feature...

Lol I don't think there are that many, which area? But gas stations can be like normal businesses there and often have restaurants and sometimes even hotels. I accidentally stayed at a gas station hotel once by the airport, when my go to hotel was full and I didn't know and booked online, and only when I arrived did I realize it was a gas station.
Many people enter appointments without enough detail to say it is not going to be held at your current location. e.g for a planned vacation "3pm check for concert tickets", which will indeed stay at PST and show up on your phone at 6pm in New York.

That's a poor analogy, because allowlists and blocklists are not the same thing and do not have the same effects. The government only allowing a list of certain approved media outlets would be an obvious 1A infringement. The government blocking certain media outlets is not.
That's too bitter. Speaking as a westerner married into an East German family, what people seem to crave more than anything is stability, which the dead hand of The Party delivered. When I talk to them about the comforts and freedoms of their post-1990 life there's a long list of details but behind it there's a ground state of "Ostalgie", gentle yearning for a time when if tomorrow wouldn't bring especial wonders nor would it bring calamity. And crucially this would be true for everyone in your community: with far less latitude for personal decisions of consequence nobody was far ahead or behind.

It would be incorrect, but it's already incorrect as what they're doing isn't really a struggle, so I guess the net result is neutral?

That's a fair argument.

As far as I know, no existing transit card in Apple wallet is fully secure in this regard. All of them (value-based ones like Calypso/Mifare/FeliCa/TUnion) have at least a couple of sectors/files/blocks/records readable without mutual authentication (be it for balance or S/N access), which could enable user tracking. FeliCa has constant NFCID2/IDM/PMM values. And CEMV and EMV ones (at least, MC & Visa) expose D-PAN through "magstripe data" tag or through ICC certificate data (9f46) via DDA (although Visa does not publish the key for Mobile in transit mode).

On the other hand, all of the Wallet-compatible "Access Card" implementations I've seen are pretty locked down. For MFDES, "list app", "list keys", "list file", "get virtual UID" and other commands are blocked, and no files are readable unless an authentication with the common/privacy key is made.

Returning back to the original argument: in my opinion, doing the tracking via UID, vs having to add proper reading & parsing logic for each card standard & particular implementation, is a much more involved process, so lack of UID randomization can't be fully disregarded as a security issue, even if there are other ways of achieving tracking.

IMO this is partly the reason why China (+ JP) are the only exceptions for Apple, and Google does not allow manual UID configuration via any of the official Android APIs (although some partners do so for their OEM wallets so that they could support some legacy card types). This way, they at least encourage their partners to avoid failure at the first step.

Oh so true. Which helps to explain the number of levels of management in UK cultural institutions, because in London there are enough of these people who want a (poorly paid) role that it's better to have 3 layers of management when 1 would do.

Ask HN: Are You Guessing Your Marketing Decisions or Backing Them with Research?
Hey HN,

I recently came across a common pain point in marketing—making decisions based on assumptions instead of real data. It’s easy to fall into the trap of guessing what works, but there’s a better way: marketing research.

Marketing research helps you understand what works and why for your campaigns and strategies. It’s different from market research, which focuses on demographics and trends. Instead, marketing research dives into user behavior, campaign performance, and insights that help you grow smarter.

Here are some key takeaways I’ve found helpful:

Stop Guessing and Use Analytics: Tools like PostHog, Amplitude, and Mixpanel can reveal user behavior through heatmaps, session recordings, and conversion funnels. These tools make it easier to spot what’s working and what isn’t.

A/B Test Everything: Whether it’s tweaking your landing page or shortening a signup form, always test your changes to see what performs better. It’s the best way to make data-backed decisions.

Focus Your Resources: Instead of wasting money on platforms that don’t convert, track post-signup behavior. For example, if users from LinkedIn are more engaged, allocate more budget there.

Iterate on New Features: Launch new features with a small audience first (using tools like feature flags). Measure how they interact before rolling it out to everyone.

One example I love: If your website’s engagement drops, use heatmaps and session recordings to figure out if users are ignoring a call-to-action or struggling with navigation. Marketing research helps you fix problems instead of guessing what went wrong.

It’s all about learning from the data, making informed decisions, and optimizing every step.

If this resonates, I’d love for you to check out my video where I go into more detail with practical scenarios: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NJetJVLNWnk

What’s your approach to making smarter marketing decisions? Would love to hear how others are using analytics in their workflows!

Economists say China needs to move to a consumer economy. The export model has run out of steam. But turning to a consumer economy is diametrically opposed to the communist party. Just like the soviets, their model works for a while but the inability to switch gears or relinquish any amount of control will be their doom.
Let's make simple calculations. In California, near the start of the 20th century there were more than 34 million native Americans living in what was their land. Now there are in California 300-700.000 native Americans.

They were exterminated and replaced by a very small European population. Like sterilising a Petri dish and letting bacteria grow, the opportunities that population experienced were the biggest any population in the world ever had. Just look at a graph of the population growth of US OR California in the last century and compare it to others.

Now there is in California a population of near 40 million people.

That is not a "mindset", this is real growth that they could experience and the rest of the world could not.

you’ve got kids and can’t enjoy the nightlife and culture anyway

Having kids while living in the centre of a large city is great, as there is so much culture that is aimed at parents and children. When my kid was small we went to museums and concerts and events all the time that were aimed at kids. There were also several different parks, playgrounds, pools and similar activities to choose from all within easy access. Plus once the kids get slightly older they can use public transport to get around and you don't have to drive them anywhere near as much as if you live in the suburbs.
> Sure, but then why is electioneering banned by polling places? Or why is voter intimidation illegal?

Because those things are not just speech - they're implicit or explicit physical threats.

America runs most of the world's social media platforms and expects other countries to be happy with that, but then panics the moment another country dares to offer them the same thing? I don't know which scenario is worse, the one where this is just an excuse for an America First trade war or the one where the US genuinely believes that controlling a social platform means you control the countries that use it.
The only thing that's missing is moving most of nested logic into `let` assignments.

> and since China has even less connection to your home country, you'd rather accept their influence than the US's—which is probably fair

the best oppressor is the one who's far.

That's why the US dominion over Europe seems better than the ones before, the USA are on the other side of an Ocean.

In my case, China influence is not an influence, I've studied China, I come from a long tradition of socialism and in particular "the Chinese way to socialism", I see them as a field of study but I think their way it's the new way of the World, capitalism the way it is implemented right now, especially in the US, it's not working anymore for the 99% (it's a meme, I know, but it's a fitting metaphor) and yet I don't buy their propaganda, because I despise propaganda, wherever it comes from.

OTOH the interest of China in me is minimal at best, they have bigger fishes to fry, while the declination of the various American social networks in each different western country (including mine) have a strong interest to sell me something, so they can make more money through ads. I am very much a good target for them and that bothers me much more.

> The current situation is the USA effectively banning TikTok in the USA to ensure national security.

And yet the POTUS himself promised to relieve the ban.

He didn't like tik tok, until he did.

And I know, you know, we all know, but don't say it, it's a move to piss of the democrats and the previous administration "with me, things will change" regardless if tik tok really is or it is not a threat to national security.

What does that say about the US actual political situation?

And what does China reaction says?
> and then hand it over to

Most certainly not. It was never done that way. If you want to get such a page done well, designers and engineers have to work back and forth with some coordination.

In fact, the question about "how much time" it takes can't have a definitive answer unless you ask the people who made it. And if you do, that answer will probably only be valid for that page, not for "these kinds of pages".

The thing is most of the time is spent in two places:

1. Precisely that "back and forth" between design and development, where things can go from "this has to be done this way and it has to work perfectly" on one side and "that can't be done" on the other side, to "let's both compromise and find a way to make it work". Depending on where the team is in that spectrum, it will take more or less time.

2. Revisions. This can include pure technical revisions of how well it works -and the effort taken to actually make it work right-. But also any revision from anyone involved: writers, designers, managers, etc. The more people involved, the more revisions. And usually the more changes and adjustments needed.

As for money, well, this is a large bank's "data intelligence" subsidiary. They work with "countries, corporations and investors". And their work is precisely this. They analyse data and produce digestible reports as their main business. So they probably have the money to have a large enough team and this counts as marketing/advertising anyway.

---

But if you're asking from a merely technical standpoint... I would say it's mostly custom-made. Some of it, particularly the graphs, can probably use some libraries to some extent. Like the "Life events" graph, where the graph itself is from visx [0], but it is then wrapped to coordinate it with the rest of the "Life events" elements which are clearly custom built. The first graphs (GDP/profit/income and sentiment over time) are visx/XYCharts too, but are simpler and didn't require much customization.

Besides that, the page uses a bunch of libraries for most of the work underneath. Besides visx, it uses D3, twgl, various motion/animation libraries, and a few more utilities. If you're thinking about a "design tool" like a sort of Photoshop or something off the shelf... No, most probably not in this case. Maybe, since this is something they do regularly and if they are smart, they will have some in-house tools to help with particular effects/components, but that's about it.

Maybe it’s intentional, maybe it’s just the technical reality, it’s a bit early to call. We on a tech site ought to know what a shitshow split brain scenarios can be.
