It’s clearly both technical and political. But what you think Tim did nothing technical in his time at Apple and built up technical teams to make it into the powerhouse through luck? Tactics are fine but strategy is everything and Cook clearly is both tactically and strategically excellent.

Source: worked at Apple and at Google and we struggled at Google to build supply chains and get the same cost effectiveness. People talk about how Apple is overpriced and then ignore that the feature set/cost tradeoff is matched by only Samsung on mobile and even then they make a fraction of the money that Apple does.

Interestingly this is strikingly similar to how my mind would process something I find genuinely interesting.

Idk, if I look at major os software it looks to me like the west still holds a huge number of brilliant contributors.

I actually don't mind the coding part, but the information digging across the project is definitely by orders of magnitude slower if I do it on my own.

The layout isn't shifting, so it's not a layout shift.

And it's not unexpected, because it comes from a css transition.

Sure.

It's just that the spirit of Google's core web vitals has been to measure the properties of a web page that have the most impact on users. How quickly content appears on a page, how visually stable the content is, and how long it takes the page to respond to an interaction.

In the case of this page, I don't think it can be considered visually stable at all in the first second after it's loaded.

And yet, core web vitals cannot demonstrate this.

My finger tips literally becoming purple colored due to the insane heat of that aluminum's thing in the i9 era. still hurts.

Japan's cherry blossom truly are wonderful, but I'm not gonna lie, I've seen as beautiful elsewhere, especially in central Europe, Poland especially.

Agreed. Classic case of the “Thing vs Thing, Japan” meme

Hahaha! I'm from Japan, but I totally agree. Honestly, I often find other cultures even more charming in many ways.

The unfamiliar usually is, especially when you aren’t there to experience the less obvious negative aspects of a given culture.

Outside of Japan, Japanese culture often gets put on a pedestal but it of course isn’t without its own issues that aren’t apparent to outsiders viewing from a distance.

Except Place doesn’t have amazing vending machines and konbini like Place, Japan does :D

You are just reinforcing the meme perfectly, well done!

Zabkas are no match to the experience of Lawson, 7-11, etc.

Zabkas, e.g., have no toilet.

There's a much wider and fresher and better conserved food in japanese convenience stores. Zabkas are always understaffed and it shows.

They are just Japanese cherry blossom in Poland anyways.

Many trees of the same family are also stunning in bloom but the Japanese cherry blossom is celebrated not only for its beauty, but also for the fleeting nature of it.

I'm not sure how that translates as the tree is moved to a different climate where it doesn't belong.

Sendai/Tahika have extremely similar weather to large parts of central Europe.

I've been in Kyushu, in the south.

Japanese railways are indeed amazing, but it should be pointed out that peripheral routes are being dismissed everywhere in the country side, often isolating people and killing places.

Infrastructure is also dated in many places.

It's not a criticism to Japan, I think they are just facing the fact that many people move to the cities and the country is on a population decline as well.

They are facing this very masterfully.

Quality degrades fast with context length for all models.

If you want quality you still have to compact or start new contextes often.

Same thing I noticed.

My use cases are not code editing or authoring related, but when it comes to understanding a codebase and it's docs to help stakeholders write tasks or understand systems it has always outperformed american models at roughly half the price.
