It's about financial risk calculation. They aren't willing to take a bath on a flop. They're doing these things because it's financially less risky.
I really don't think this is a likely outcome in the 'several quarters' timeframe. The world just spent 2.5 decades going onto Google. There are so many small business owners out there who hate technology... so many old people who took years just to learn how to Google... so many ingrained behaviors of just Googling things... outside of the vocal tech crowd I think it's exceedingly unlikely that users stop using Google en masse.
I'd nominate Ugandan president Yoweri Museveni. As authoritarian "president for life" since 1986, he's demonstrated some savvy statecrafting amid Africa's resource wars and ethnic violence, making the country a point of stability and economic growth on the continent.

(Of course, he's got plenty of negatives on the record too. But I think in the game of "Great Man History", he's already left a big legacy.)

I do agree with a lot of what is said here. There are however a few things that I think will hinder Google on the long-run:

- The last time I checked (3-4 months ago) Gemini embedding models are probably the least reliable / contextually aware out there
- A significant chunk of the market will want the ability to use locally hosted models / manage their own which Google currently has no play for
- API documentation. Across the big managed models they are likely the least well documented model.
- Allowing for more system vs. user prompts
What did I claim? Read what i wrote. The video says EXACTLY what I stated.
I agree with the vast majority of what you say.

I will poke at one part:

"Patient primary expectation is always to have a doctor they can trust. "

I don't believe this was the expectation here - trust was not even mentioned. Only credentials were.

I don't disagree it should be the expectation, but it's definitely not in the US and i don't think you'll get there without changing how people think.

Even when it is, trust here seems to be often equated to "how impressive/popular a doctor they are", rather than "how effective a doctor they are" or something sane. At least in the US, the doctors patients trust the most are the ones with the most credentials, awards, etc. It's a popularity contest instead of a baseline competency contest.

If you listen to lots of people in the US talk about choosing and trusting doctors, it's about what school they went to, or what awards they've won, or who else they've treated. Not always, but lots of times. This is not a new thing.

For example - my parents (in their 80's), all of their friends, and heck everyone i've ever met in their community is the same way, and have been for at least 50 years. They don't actually trust doctors who didn't go to harvard, etc.

I think that has to change as well.

I’ve had no problem rendering far more complex graphics than a pie chart, with SVG, without sending a single byte of JS to clients (not just the SVGs, a variety of fairly interactive content!). I realize that’s fairly niche, and it’s a bit of a personal special interest. But I can say with certainty that it’s possible, because I have done it.

Sure, I have used JS (TS) for building these projects, but that’s immaterial because it never ships to clients.

As for pie chart “primitives”, I’m not asking you to take my word for it but I also can say with relatively high confidence that SVG as a technology is capable of the kinds of composition needed for that. It probably won’t match the ergonomics of a few CSS variables, but it could come close if you’re willing to overlook the verbosity of XML syntax.

Not that I’m saying you or anyone should do that! My original response wasn’t intended to persuade you or anyone that SVG is a better choice of technology for this purpose. Only to clarify that there is no inherent requirement to run client side JS to render SVG charts. That’s probably not super interesting in its own right, it’s only a clarifying statement of fact.
I'm not unsympathetic, but I don't think a "European who studied at OSU for a semester" really knows what they are talking about.

I don't want to come across as judgey, gate-keeping what is in good taste or what should make you "feel bad." The human element is just a very crucial part, at least for me. Art is a way of humans beings connectig with each other. That can be high-brow stuff, but that can also be, like, pulpy action movies or cheesy romance novels. Someone might be expressing deep beautiful ideas that change my life forever, or they might think that it was totally sick to have a car jump over a chasm and through a big loud explosion. In both cases, I'm engaging with another human being, at least at some level, at that means something.

But if I see something that I think is cool and interesting, and then I discover that it was mostly the result of a few AI prompts, then I just don't care about it anymore. I don't "feel bad" that I thought it interesting, rather, I just completely lose interest.

I do fear that it will be increasingly difficult to tell what is generated by AI and what is created by humans. Just examining myself, I think that would mean I would retreat from mainstream pop-culture stuff, and it would be with sadness. It's a bleak future to imagine. It seems reminiscent of the "versificator" in George Orwell's 1984.
Greens seem to deceive in the same way as green-washing except with greener deceptions (whereas green-washing is capitalists pretending to be green).

Example: a report on the cost-benefit of using bicycles, that comes out with a fantastic positive number for introducing a cycle lane. Except the number depends on a monetary estimate of the benefits to society for health improvements. I'm sure the health improvements exist, and it wouldn't surprise me that the health benefits to society were well estimated. The problem is that by cherry-picking benefits you can simply ignore all monetary benefits of cars (no benefits for cars were mentioned as I recall).

I've seen it in other articles which talk sacharrinely about the benefit of some green tech. But ignoring real costs and certainly not being balanced. The ultra-idealistic greenies are not helping their cause when rubbish is repeated.

Sorry, I didn't ask my question well.

Your answer seems to speak to the idea of "we need this in order for our offices to be able to function, what's the most cost effective way acquire it. I can't imagine _any_ office that would need such a thing. It seems to be purely decorative in nature. And the (quality of the) monitor (which isn't part of that cost) is the majority of the decorative part.

I was asking more from the individual perspective; why someone would spend $500 + subscription on something like this, when it should be relatively trivial to just run software that does something like it yourself. Given that it doesn't come with the display, picking a nice display and hooking it up seems like the majority of the work involved.

The law only permits the bond proceeds to be spent on designated routes. To accommodate this, the French fantasy plan needed long spurs across the San Joaquin Valley. This would have required more guideways overall, more parcel acquisitions, more waterway crossings, and generally higher costs. It would also have tripled the travel time between Fresno and other major cities, which would have sunk popular support for the project since millions of people would have correctly perceived it as serving only SF and LA.
> It currently dwarfs the number incarcerated by the Soviet Union during the 1930s

That was certainly false if you look at the late 40s (not by much, only 2x or so though..)

However if you actually think (since you post nonsensical “statistics” that’s unlikely) about it the mortality rates in soviet concentration camps were massive, especially in the 1930s or during the war which significantly decreased the incarceration rate.

Can’t have a huge prison population if you just murder or starve everyone to death..
That's fair. Let's replace 'Christianity' with 'the Catholic Church', since what you say undoubtedly applies to Protestantism, and in a less obvious way to Eastern Orthodoxy. And remember, I'm saying 'timeless if true'; the 'true' part is assumed for the purpose of this argument.
People value not having to install anything, for various reasons.
It's only hyperbole because you have a car-centric point of view. From an objective point of view, there are A LOT of problems with cars.

It's not hyperbolic to say that cars kill people on the scale of tobacco and alcohol. It's literally true. Again, the primary cause of death for a lot of demographics in the US is driving. You would, literally, have a lower mortality if you walked to work and smoked a Capri methanol on the way.

We just don't view driving in this way because, unlike tobacco, it is a necessary evil. As soon as you dismantle the assumption that it's necessary the rest falls into place.

There is a direct link between car-centric infrastructure and most things that are killing you and making your life worse. The fact you choose to ignore it does not mean it doesn't exist. And, to be fair, ignoring it is good practice. If I had to come to terms with my own mortality before every commute I'd probably kill myself. Ignorance is bliss.

If you simply look at the places world-wide associated with higher quality of life you'll notice a common denominator. More greenery, more walking, fresher food, more public transit, and less cars. It's not a coincidence, it's pretty obvious when you sit down and put the pieces together.
Ask HN: How do you monetize personal code if it's not an "app"?
Hey HN,

I’ve been thinking a lot about this lately and wanted to ask — how do you monetize your personal code if it doesn’t really fit into a classic product or SaaS model?

For example:

* I have a trained ML model that solves a niche task really well — but turning it into a full-blown app seems like overkill.

* I’ve written a CLI tool that processes log files better than anything else I’ve found, but it’s too specialized to justify making a company out of it.

* I built a few small functions in different languages (Python, Go, Rust) that do neat things — data cleanup, API scraping, PDF generation — but none of them are “products” by themselves.

I’m exploring ways to package and expose this kind of work: maybe as paid APIs, small function services, or even “pocket FaaS” instances others can plug into.

Curious if anyone here has tried something similar — or if you’ve seen creative ways to turn technical tools or utilities into sustainable side income.

Thanks in advance for sharing ideas or examples!

I think the subject matter does evolve, its applications, and the ways that it's taught.

The earliest book on algebra, written by Al-Khwarizmi, was arguably unreadable by anybody but a philosopher. It contained no numerals, just a wall of text. Symbolic equations were invented later. The abstraction of algebra (groups, etc.) even later. Today, kids learn basic algebra in middle school.

The earliest calculus was greatly improved by newer notation. Also, a formal basis for calculus emerged later on.

The teaching of math is a matter of long running debate, since it is regarded as being a widespread failure. Every generation wants to try and crack this problem. Calculus might stay the same, but with varying emphasis on things like problems, proofs, etc.

I would argue that math -- including symbolic math -- is changing again thanks to widespread computation.

Just some scattered thoughts.

Yes, I like trains and wish we had better transit. I'm responding to the claim streetcars were "torn up for cars", which was not really the case (and frequently subject to a conspiracy theory).
Pretty much every EV does regenerative baking, because it (greatly) extends range. Even hybrids have done this since the very earliest mass-market models (the 1997 Prius has it). EV brakes see a lot less wear and tear than ICE brakes.

I have shifted the majority of my search for products to ChatGPT. In the past my starting point would have been Amazon or Google. It’s just so much easier to describe what I’m looking for and ask for recommendations that fit my parameters. If I could buy directly from the ChatGPT, I probably would. It’s just as much or more high intent as search.

Websocket is not ment to be sent as streams (TCP equvalent), but as datagrams aka packets (UDP equivalents). Correct me if I am wrong, but websockets api in Javascript libraray for browsers is pretty poor and does not have ability to handle backpressure and I am sure it can not handle all possible errors (assertions about delivery). If you want to use websockets as TCP streams including seasson handling, great care should be taken as this is not natively availabe in neither rfc6455 and in browser.

Previously (~2-3 years ago), it was impossible to narrow `unknown` to a fully typed object. Recently-ish, they added the ability for `"foo" in obj` to type-refine `object` to `object & {"foo": unknown}`, which lets you further narrow foo down to something more specific.

You are correct. I misjudged.I thought I had read the article early, it must have been just after the edits.
If Google is able to ignore the pressure to bring in revenue from AI and is able to outcompete the others at automating AI research itself, I think they will win the war. It seems that they certainly have an advantage, with limited pressure from outside investors, their own hardware stack, a constant flow of cash through the other lines of business, and a head start against most of the other giant tech companies.

The subject matter may not have changed very much, but pedagogical techniques certainly have. A modern textbook is generally much easier to actually read and learn from than a 100-year-old textbook.

Not with 0DTE options at this scale at multiple strikes. highly improbable. This wasn't the only trade. It was a sweep of hidden trades across different strikes on SPY and QQQ. Occam's Razor says this is insider trading. This has never happened before to this degree. The cool thing is that all of the historical data is transparent and cannot be removed from the ledger, and we can ask and know who made the trades it will just take a few weeks.

And looking at the options flow, it was billions across all the unusual 0DTE trades.

I don’t fully understand how this is a paradox. I guess it’s based on the fact that there are „super nodes“ in human social networks, where one person has many friends, while most others don’t? Or is there anything more to it?
Sorry, I was unclear.

Using a library like zod requires you to trust that Zod will correctly validate the type. Instead, I much prefer to have schema validation code that typescript proves will work correctly. I want the build-type checks that my runtime validation is correct.

Typia generates runtime code that typescript can check correctly validates a given schema https://typia.io/docs/validators/assert/ . I've never actually used it, but this is closer to the realm I prefer.

Celluloid film from 1939 is good, but not that good.

I mean it's perfectly watchable on a 1080p display, but in 4K it's nowhere near the kind of 4K quality you get with modern digital cameras with modern lenses. Sure you can watch it its 4K scan (heck, they scanned it in 8K), but most of those pixels above 1080p are just showing you film grain and blur. Which is nice in terms of looking like it would with a real projector! But it's not "4K quality" in terms of resolvable detail.
