You just started to notice it


Sounds awesome, is there a video of it I could watch somewhere?

Edit: for those who didn't know, like me, apple's maps are available at https://maps.apple.com. You can see this yourself. The effect is unvelievably smooth compared to what Google maps have


Oh cool, I didn't know they added their Street View equivalent to the web version. The animated transitions are much better than Google's.

It does look smooth but for me the killer feature on google maps is still the ability to go back in time.

They seem to be significantly slower though

It's very cool but I don't understand why they've decided to basically not do it in the US and UK.

Meanwhile they have nearly full coverage of the rest of western Europe, plus a huge amount of Canada and Mexico.

This was launched in 2019. A few years ago I remember speculating that they were holding it back with the cool 3D effects to do a big push alongside Vision Pro, but that's come and gone with no significant change to Look Around.

California isn't doing bad, but outside of that they're averaging about 0.5 locations per state.

They haven't been to Nashville but they sent someone to drive to Rainbow Lake, Alberta? What gives?


Does it appear only if you visit the website on mobile? I don't see any street view option when I visit that site on a PC.

You have to zoom in the map and click on the binoculars in the bottom left corner!

I believe so, I can't test now but I don't see it on desktop either.

Forgive me for copy-pasting.

Oh that’s right, I always forget they have it on the web.

Don't complain about tangential annoyances, I know, I know... but how the hell am I supposed to judge the difference between the images in the post if you disabled zoom and the images are incredibly small? And when I open them in a new tab they automatically download?

On the plus side, I like the informal writing of the post. You can be serious about business and still be human

Edit: firefox reader mode works wonders on this article


I think it's a welcome breath of fresh air considering how much AI slop is on HN lately

Yeesh struck a nerve for some folks. I agree too much AI slop and am also tired of it.

I didnt like this because the title looks clickbaity and the actual website content is not compelling. The landing page as far asi can tell doesnt show any glass painting. Maybe i didnt dig deep enough.


If not for the "not x but y" I wouldn't be able to tell. Very sneaky

This tells me everything about recent cloudflare outages

I shit you not, this is an AI generated comment. All recent comments from this profile are AI generated. This is so ironic

I store both, to serve processed HTML faster, and to be able to rebuild it just in case. Is this ok?

I wouldn't trust myself to always remember to sanitize it, and in a company with more than one person, it becomes impossible to ensure it is properly handled.

I wonder how they prompted these users to change their usernames. Was it just a "we need your username for our business, so comply" notice?
