A thing I find interesting is how company cultures affect their success over time. An example is how Google famously has a bias for inaction.

The combination of lack of pressure on individuals to generate business results (OKRs) and being consensus driven which broke down at scale means doing nothing is the path of least resistance.

The search monopoly is also so entrenched that making product changes are more likely to be neutral to negative (see AI overviews) than be helpful. So why bother?

THIS IS HOW REPUBLICANS WILL CRIMINALIZE EVERYTHING RELATED TO ABORTION

Louisiana now classifies abortion pills as controlled substances.

Google search over the years:

1998-2016: Decent quality web search.

2016-2024: Mediocre web search dominated by SEO garbage and sponsored links.

2024-___: Whatever this is.

San Francisco should convert all slip lanes into public plazas with planters, trees, seating, tables, and murals.

Doing this would instantly make streets safer and increase public space for people to gather, connect, and build community.

Slip lanes can be opened to people fast!

NEW: RFK Jr. is being quasi-normalized in the political media coverage of his campaign. The depth of his battiness is not being fully conveyed. I took a deep dive into one of his many conspiracy theories to show just how far he's removed from reality.

👏🏻Via Kyle Griffin:

The administration is canceling $7.7 billion in student loans for another 160,000 borrowers through a combination of existing programs.

With the latest action, the admin says it has canceled $167 billion in student debt for nearly 5 million Americans.

Let me get this right: The average price of a new car is $47,000+ — a used car is $26,000 — and a monthly Muni pass for a senior costs $40 (single fares cost $1.25) and is free for seniors with <$101,000 in income, but public transportation has “the high price”? Give me a break.

Reference "How S.F. transit should work — without the need to drive everywhere all the time" (Letters to the Editor, SChronicle.com, May 21): Driving everywhere may not be essential for all seniors, but considering the high price of public transportation, it may be the only means for some of us to get around in San Francisco. Here is what a 91-year-old would like to see in city transportation: I want to drive streets without swerving around jaywalkers and those who step off curbs without looking both ways because their heads are buried in smartphones. I want to drive streets without being blocked by double-parked trucks and other vehicles. I want to drive streets without being blocked by buses stopping in driving lanes instead of pulling over to the curb for passengers.
I want to drive streets where bicyclists stop at red lights and stop signs instead of zooming through, causing drivers to slam on their brakes. Whenever I drive, I want to see black-top pavement with white or yellow lane markings showing me the safe way to go — not a myriad of signage and multi-colored pavements. I want to see driverless vehicles become a thing of the past. Our city streets are rapidly being turned over to pedestrians, bicyclists, buses and special interests instead of being the purpose they were built and for which our tax dollars were spent.

The simplest tasks on iPadOS are either incredibly difficult and time-consuming, or they’re so unintuitive that even a 25-year Apple veteran can't figure them out. Frankly, neither reflects well on iPadOS.

The most notable features in this announcement are the addition of a Copilot key to the keyboard and Recall which is an implementation of “Stuff I’ve Seen” which has been a desire of Bill Gates for years.

That said, the narrative and storytelling are much better than Google I/O.

Finally, some good news. https://medicine.wustl.edu/news/repeat-covid-19-vaccinations-elicit-antibodies-that-neutralize-variants-other-viruses/

From the article: "The findings suggest that periodic re-vaccination for COVID-19, far from hindering the body’s ability to recognize and respond to new variants, may instead cause people to gradually build up a stock of broadly neutralizing antibodies that protect them from emerging SARS-CoV-2 variants and some other coronavirus species as well, even ones that have not yet emerged to infect humans."

I've been studying algorithms for collaborative text editing recently. The best way for me to understand something complex is to implement it myself, so I made my own simple text editing CRDT. It comes with an interactive demo to show what goes on "under the hood":

https://madebyevan.com/algos/crdt-text-buffer/

The code is small enough to understand (only 500 lines including comments). But the internals use optimized block-based storage similar to Yjs (a popular CRDT text library), so it should be pretty realistic.

Protected bike lanes, transit-only lanes, and car-free streets help people shift trips away from cars, reducing car traffic and demand for parking, among other benefits (e.g. roadway safety, climate action).

We need leaders who prioritize data-proven solutions to these problems.

@LukeBornheimer@sfba.social avatar

If SFMTA wants people to shift trips, it needs to install best-practice designs — like curbside protected bike lanes with protected intersections and traffic diverters — rather than half-measures like the Valencia Street center bikeway and transit-only lanes that lack separation.

Southern Florida once again has "EXTREME" Heat Risk today 5/18/24.

Extreme - This level of rare and/or long-duration extreme heat with little to no overnight relief affects anyone without effective cooling and/or adequate hydration. Impacts likely in most health systems, heat-sensitive industries and infrastructure.

https://www.wpc.ncep.noaa.gov/heatrisk/ #FLwx #heatwave

ai6yr,

@researchbuzz I'm seriously wondering if it will be Texas or Florida hit by a massive wet bulb event that results in a huge loss of life, likely after a hurricane/wind event followed by extreme heat and humidity. With Houston hit this week by a storm, but no heat, and Florida hit by heat, but still with power, we're basically playing roulette now, IMHO.

The ChatGPT macOS app is a clear mark of the triumph of Apple approach with SwiftUI: a fully native Mac app based on the iOS ChatGPT app code base with Mac specific features (the Menu Bar item, the system-wide launcher with screen-capture support…).

No other Desktop platform has this advantage of developers being able to deploy fully native apps based on their mobile counterpart.
