>I've been wondering for a long time now, at what point will so much innovation have already happened since the 90s-00s that there won't be enough actually useful features to tack on to the next release of X thing except ones that solve problems we didn't have?

I think we've passed that point a while ago. 4K is a smidgen beyond what most eyes can resolve, the smartphone has not seen the revolutions the early years did for a long time (since iPhone X I guess?), VR did not bring the Metaverse, NFT's flopped. I suppose the cloud was a shift in how we do things though.

Before I read your last paragraph I thought you were going to comment on how AI was not the revolution that was promised. There's some use cases and it's amazing that the tech works as well as it does, but I just don't see the mass adoption in the numbers or around me at all.

I used to be wide-eyed and excited for tech. I was an early adopter of all manner of gadgets from the Palm Pilot to the iPad, but the phenomenon described in the article as well as enshittification and the constant hype trains have disillusioned me. I buy a phone because it does everything I need to do life admin and it takes nice pictures, but like the article describes I wish it wasn't a data mine and an attention draining rectangle. I feel like there's more people at work trying to drain my brain and my wallet than building cool tech.

Back when not everything was connected to everything else by default all the time, the avenues for stealing my attention just weren't there and selling me a gadget had to be done on its merits. Maybe that's why innovation in the sense of utility is down and out.

Why is this correct? Youtube is a private company. It's very much allowed to charge $200 per month while playing tons of ads for you. Youtube sets the price and its policy, not the users.
XML is great for documents.

If your data is essentially a long piece of text, with annotations associated with certain parts of that text, this is where XML shines.

When you try to use XML to represent something like an ecommerce order, financial transaction, instant message and so on, this is where you start to see problems. Trying to shove some extremely convoluted representation of text ranges and their attributes into JSON is just as bad.

A good "rule of thumb" would be "does this document still make sense if all the tags are stripped, and only the text nodes remain?" If yes, choose XML, if not, choose JSON.

XSL:FO is dead for all practical purposes.

XSLT was not popular for its original intended application - which is to say, serving XML data from web servers and translating it to HTML (or XSL:FO, or ...) on the client as needed. However, it was used plenty for XML processing outside of that particular niche.

New projects these days rarely have to process complicated XML to begin with. But when you do, I'd say XSLT (or perhaps better yet, XQuery) is a very useful tool to have in your toolbox.

I'm a jazz bassist, 61, and first saw a Real Book 43 years ago.

There were, and are, always a few hard-liners who look down on reading tunes from a book, on the bandstand. They're not necessarily the oldest, or best players, or have the best reasons. Whatever. Most of the gigs that I've played, fake books were accepted. There are similar debates in most musical styles.

Roughly 20 years ago, I decided to stop bringing fake books to gigs. I quickly discovered that I didn't need them. For one thing, the "local repertoire" wasn't vast. For another, it exercised my ability to pick up tunes by ear. I see more of what's around me, and interact more with the band and audience, because the music stand isn't there. Today, I have a bunch of stuff on an Android tablet that I keep in my bag just in case, but rarely bring it out. The tablet also contains stuff for bands that use written arrangements, such as a 19-piece jazz ensemble.

I personally think the inaccuracies are immaterial. Most players will never encounter a situation where the ur-text is important. The players I've known who mostly learned by ear don't play 100% accurate changes.

I'm not a full time pro, but am often called as a sub, so I've observed many levels of bands. I've formed the opinion that the fake books do in fact detract from performances. I hate "dead air" between tunes while the players flip through their books (or thumb through their phones) to choose what tune to play next. It's a little bit cringe when a good player who should know a beginner tune, reads it. Flipping through the books may be just a habit. Plus, dependence on the books limits the repertoire in weird ways. Real Book has practically become its own genre. Remember, the "contemporary" tunes in the RB are 50+ years old.

The problem is that gigs and jam sessions are no longer frequent enough to afford players a chance of learning tunes by ear. The books aren't going away. Bandleaders can figure out how to deliver a better performance. Send out a set list in advance. Let people listen to the tunes that they're unfamiliar with. If needed, they can transcribe them. I do that a lot when asked for a popular tune that doesn't have available sheet music, such as most country-western.

Empirically, a lot of early ventures into any area tend to blow up.

The first people to try are, almost by definition, the risk takers.

That is not to say they all blow up, or even that the ones that blow up do so because of this particular venture. Just high risk taking is correlated with both blowing up and trying the new thing first.

They may blow up from some completely unrelated risky venture.

Elon bought Twitter for $44B, with a combination of his own money, money raised from investors, and $12B worth of debt secured by his Tesla shares.

Since that time Twitter's valuation continued to drop, and by late 2024 several investors (like Fidelity) had marked the company's overall value down to as little as $9B.

Now with the recent stock market turmoil and Tesla's massive share price drop, his Twitter loan is in danger of getting margin called, and that would spell disaster for Tesla, Twitter and his own finances.

Separately Elon also started xAI, which received $6B of funding at a $40B valuation, and is in talks to raise more.

So now he is doing some financial engineering to "sell" Twitter (X) to xAI. This means (1) whoever owns shares in Twitter can mark up their books again and (2) he can raise more funding for the combined entity and use that to pay off the Twitter loan.
> We have the EU to thank for USB-C

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USB-C

> The design for the USB-C connector was initially developed in 2012 by Intel, HP Inc., Microsoft, and the USB Implementers Forum. The Type-C Specification 1.0 was published by the USB Implementers Forum (USB-IF) on August 11, 2014.[1] In July 2016, it was adopted by the IEC as "IEC 62680-1-3".

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USB_Implementers_Forum

> USB Implementers Forum, Inc. (USB-IF) is a nonprofit organization created to promote and maintain USB (Universal Serial Bus), a set of specifications and transmission procedures for a type of cable connection that has since become used widely for electronic equipment. Its main activities are currently the promotion and marketing of USB, Wireless USB, USB On-The-Go, and the maintenance of standards and specifications for the related devices, as well as a compliance program.

> The USB-IF was initiated in 1995[1] by the group of companies that was developing USB, which was made available first during 1996. The founding companies of USB-IF were Compaq, Digital Equipment Corporation, IBM, Intel, Microsoft, NEC and Nortel. Notable current members include HP, NEC, Microsoft, Apple Inc., Intel, and Agere Systems.

We have mega corporations to thank for USB-C. Notably none of these companies are European. None.

> This if course doesn't not mean there are zero deab people still receiving checks. With any system this size some fraud will exist, the question is how much, and how much does it cost to chase down.

Right, it's an optimization problem. You fight the fraud to the point that it optimizes loss. If it costs $1 million to stop $10 million of fraud, you do it. If it costs $1 billion to stop $10 million of fraud, you let that fraud happen.

XQuery is the best of both worlds - you get almost all the benefits of XSLT like e.g. the ability to define your own functions, but with non-XML-based syntax that is a superset of XPath.

Basically the only thing it's missing in XQuery vs XSLT is template rules and their application; but IMO simple ones are just as easy to write explicitly, and complex rulesets are hard to reason about and maintain anyway.

Yeah these fantasies where musk would somehow go bankrupt by tanking Tesla and overpaying for Twitter were also wild

He’s literally the richest person the earth has ever known. He’s never going to suffer financially. He has countless levers of power he can pull.

The same fantasy applies to any past or current president ever spending a day in jail. He literally commands the most powerful military apparatus the world has ever seen. Even a sliver of that capability and influence ensures nobody will ever dare to try and slap some cuffs on him

I think that in almost all western countries, a life spent entirely on hoarding wealth for the sake of wealth, is considered a sad life. Especially if you don't even have any loved ones to share your wealth with.

I think the same it true for most of Latin america, where many of my friends and colleagues are from. And when I was in Nepal they thought that, if anything, western people are way too much focused on gathering wealth.

Islam specifically rejects hoarding wealth, so I think that pretty much takes out most of the middle east and northern africa.

So I'm curious which other cultures you are referring to. Perhaps specifically Indian and Chinese culture?

Well it's because that's what companies optimize for.

Companies will never let their employees get away with working less if they can help it. This isn't even a secret, yet so many people do not even question it.

They get away with this because it's pushing one tiny change at a time, and there is never pushback because on the other end it's individuals applying for jobs over long periods of time so nobody notices the constant pushing in the same direction. Companies are constantly optimizing in the same direction, and they all apply similar strategies to each other because they are competing. Not to mention how they hold people hostages because they also provide health insurance.

These next few years will be interesting. Will engineers finally assert themselves or will they not notice and/or not question when companies yet again expand the role and responsibilities without equal increase in pay? I won't hold my breath.

A lot depends on how exactly you pursue wealth. You could say that Donald Trump and Elon Musk have both striven to "pursue wealth" in their business careers, but nonetheless they did so in very different ways. And plenty of people will likely find Donald's approach somewhat "crass" compared to Elon's.
Not quite. Apple could have removed the port entirely as a form of malicious compliance. They would have been in compliance with EU regulations without putting USB-C on their phones.

A second option would have been to make lightning a data only port that would not charge phones.

In either case, the reactions to “in order to comply with EU regulations, wired charging capability has been removed from iPhones sold in the EU” would have been hilarious.
You're looking at AI slop because somebody made something up and had the machine riff along with it. You can very well have the LLM generate you a bunch of cases "proving" that it's illegal to have a pet cat or that in France everybody is legally required to smoke.

In fact trademark lawyers would prefer you to believe that if you're spending $1 on like, making the trademarked product rather than giving them the dollar to "defend" your trademark that's a false economy because magically a court will tear up your trademark because you were supposed to spend all that money on lawyers. If they can argue they really believed this was true (e.g. they read nonsense hallucinated into existence by AI) they're not even lying to you, it's just super convenient that they falsely believed something which directly benefited them...
Breathalyzers are standard over here, and pretty much never an issue. We have tolerances defined in the law (few digits get substracted by default from the measured number), then depending on the alcohol level, if you're above the legal limit, you get fined and/or lose a licence (depends on the alcohol level, is it a normal car, or driving a truck/bus, young driver, etc.). If you disagree with the measured result, the police can drive you to a nearby doctor/emergency room, and they do a blood test, but since it's more accurate with less assumed error tolerances subtracted, it's usually not worth it (unless you're just above the "losing your licence" limit, and hopefully your metabolism is faster at burning alcohol than the doctors charts assume.

Everyone else in the car can be drinking while you're driving and blowing in the breathalyzer, and it's not an issue.

I trust a device with proper calibrated sensors much more than an officer that has to fill out his quota or wants to fine me for some other stupid reason.
Which is still not the same as open aliance USA is doing. And EU countries are members of NATO. And did followed commitment to the war USA wanted. It is USA who is threatening annexation of multiple countries now, it is USA who supports Putin and openly praises dictators.

Ukraine was stupid to give up nukes, they should never trust promises about help in case of attack. They should keep the atomic bombs, but it is too late for that.
Attributes are way shorter to write.

That said, these days most Microsoft XML dialects are actually XAML-based, and in XAML attributes are basically syntactic sugar - you can write:

<Foo Bar="123">

or

<Foo>
<Foo.Bar>123</Foo.Bar>
</Foo>

(the dot in the syntax makes it possible for the XAML parser to distinguish nested elements that represent properties from nested elements that represent child objects)
