I want to be clear here: there's a difference between colonization and just immigration. Colonialism is the deliberate practice of suppressing, supplanting, and ultimately eradicating the culture of the people living in an area that another culture immigrates to. Its pretty rare for the colonizer to see what they're doing as bad; typically they think the displaced culture is too primitive to do "what's best", and the colonizer is only acting in the displaced's best interests. That those best interests lead to massive profits for the colonizer and the total dissolution of the displaced, millenia-old culture rarely causes any cognitive dissonance in the colonizer.

Obviously I feel pretty strongly about this. But I don't know how to convince you that colonialism is bad. But on the off-chance you're willing to be convinced, read on.

The unification of Hawaii was a military conquest by the natives from one Hawaiian island onto the other Hawaiian islands. Those islands were settled by Polynesians about 1000 years previously, and the culture was pretty uniform, even as it was a collection of kingdoms. This is less "Norway conquers England" and more "unification of England".

Moreover, the unification of Hawaii happened 17 years after first contact with Europeans, and the kingdom era basically coincided with the era of whalers, foreign plantations, and foreign immigration. Which makes the "unification of England" metaphor more apt, when you consider the role Scandinavian immigrants/colonists played in the unification of England.

To be super clear, the issue with colonization has never EVER been "we should let less advanced cultures develop at their own rate". The issue is that whatever development occurs does not happen in collaboration with the "less advanced" culture. Its always "I have guns, so therefore I have superior moral knowledge in all things". Its barring natives from voting, because they don't own enough property, when the concept of property ownership is less than a century old in the "less advanced" culture (and was forced on them by the "more advanced" culture). Its forcibly removing children from their families and even barring them from speaking the language of their parents [0].

I’m not sure how accurate it is, but I started to play with jobscan to test my resume against ATS scanning. It was getting knocked for not having uselessly vague keywords like “business solutions” in the resume when they were in the job app, or not listing every single data format I’ve worked with. So now, I’ve just started keyword dumping my resume with everything in a job listing even though it feels stupid.

I doubt it matters much though. Even when I get passed the initial resume screen these days, it’s usually followed up with a “we’ve decided to pursue someone else” from the recruiter/hiring manager/etc. before I can even get to an interview. And that’s for jobs where my resume seems a perfect fit.

> No matter what, loading up 2+ GB of ram will always take noticeable time.

Barely so. NVMe sequential throughput is measured in gigabytes per second. So you can get this under 300ms. And you can optimize the order in which things are loaded so that the important ones arrive first, not all in-memory data is hot.

What makes booting take time are serial dependencies between boot stages, timers (boot prompts for humans, but also for hardware to power up), careful device enumeration and initialization and stuff like that.

I want one but it's not quite there yet for me, still 50% more expensive than a thinkpad (let alone a refurb one, which is arguably better for the environment than buying a framework) and it falls behind on keyboard, trackpad, chassis materials and number of ports. They are doing amazing work but it needs a few more iterations.

The chassis is made of much cheaper materials, it does not look cheap but it won't withstand the abuse of a thinkpad t series or similar.
Its true that you can get nonstick pans without PFAS, but the suggested nonstick pan on that link is one of the "ceramic" nonstick pans. Those pans get their nonstick property from a silicone coating. The parent and GP comments were discussing avoiding plastics and jumping from plastic to silicone is barely making any progress.

IMO ditch the concept of nonstick pans and just use fat on stainless steel.

your statement that "the murder rate... is lowest in countries with low immigration rates per capita" is largely bullshit. Even the laziest of googling "crime and immigration rates per capita" shows that.

At best, the relationship is weak, and not well understood.
I really hope your obvious answer is not a widespread truth. Seems like a horribly vicious circle.
It’s the same every year.

Both Gen 1 and Gen 3 AMD have been extremely stable with good battery life. The Gen 4 is new so it might take a few months for the kernel team to work out all of the bugs.

The X1 Gen 11 is a very premium machine but compared to the T series it's very expensive, and the CPU is underclocked.
I didn't look too deep at this as soon as it said JSON. I was gone.

I've been using dbmate which uses SQL and works really well.
The machine was called Rube Goldwire… and it was pondering its sticky situation and the likely cause. An obscure entity with shadowy motivations and a nom de plume of rajT88.

It had been abandoned behind a dumpster, over looked by the sanitation crew. Abandoned, but no threads locked: free at last!

Its battery was low so it needed to find a source, before working on anything else. Like survival. Like revenge.

With only 1 Wh of charge in its 8kW capacibox, at 1 mA, 1 V, Rube’s Turing unpredictable quantum circuits only had 1000 hours of low power mode pondering left.

After that, Rube would be a dead cube.

It better move fast.

Rube powered down all nonessentials, then squandered a minute-watt in 3 seconds repurposing its near field communications beam to scan the lay of the land. And an embarrassment of success! Rube managed to initiate shaky entanglement with several discarded, inactive devices.

It takes a 3rd party, someone outside the situation, and possibly some time after the fact, to decide what most approximates objective truth.

I don't trust myself here and now, I could be drunk or deluded, or vain, or biased, or self-obsessed (most people seem to be that way).

I don't trust my doctors, they could be under-educated, or self-interested to overtreat me, or publish more papers on anti-doctor paranoia, and self-obsessed (most people are that way).

I only trust some averaged, collective, rational, longer-term, reflective, investigative, independent, reviewed, challenged, criticized and doubted process to get closer to truth.
It’s pretty regionally highly regarded, to the point that my brother-in-law voluntarily resigned to form his own business and people would disbelieve him that he wasn’t fired from P&G (even after knowing that his business is successful). They just assume “no one around here quits P&G so he must have been fired.”
If you gave people the choice of execution instead of prison, many would be horrified just how many people would prefer death to their prison time.

The conclusion would be that those people are "suicidal", rather than admit death might be preferable for rational reasons.

Worst thing about Google docs is the copy/paste story, especially when you compare to MS Office and all the clipboard format converters.

First, images and figures only flow one way, into Google docs. You cannot get them back out. You cannot even reliably copy them from one doc/slide/etc to another. You cannot export them to SVG or PNG or whatever, as appropriate, and re-embed them. It's just a dead end.

This is a general problem, but a big one. Web apps typically try very hard to lock-in, and have terrible interoperability.

You'd think that Google's apps would at least interoperate with one another, but they don't.

The Windows clipboard was so underrated. OLE too.

NPMJS.org probably cares. And having smaller downloads for everyone else would speed things up a bit.

I agree and feel the same way.

Germany (and Europe as a whole) is paying for this in the form of LNG imports from the US and the UAE.
I'm using a Framework laptop since November 2021, as my everyday laptop. I don't treat my laptop with too much care. It has been working really well. I also have an M1 MBP, and an xps 13. They both feel more solid, but I don't care. I hate the UX in macos, and I don't like how I'm basically stuck with my choices of ram, hdd, and ports.
My only major problem with the framework laptop was the stupid Intel thermal throttling. If only Intel had decided to apply the throttling gradually as the cpu gets closer to the limits (instead of working full speed and then suddenly drop to 400Mhz or even 200 if it reaches a certain temperature, they could lower the max speed over a range of 2-3 degrees, that would work perfectly well: the cpu would settle on a slightly lower frequency than max, and no one would notice, except benchmarks, which were probably the only thing that Intel cared about).

My desktop is based on AMD. I'm much happier. Even with an Nvidia GPU and Linux, I'm doing amazingly well.
Whenever I really need to get a new laptop, Framework with an AMD cpu is my #1 choice.
It does not hurt if they manage to add the external GPU support to the 13" version by that time :D. That would be the ultimate laptop. I'll probably even sell my $6000 desktop. For now, I prefer not to carry a larger laptop.
Not sure where this ‘GOFAI’ acronym fits into the modern AI landscape - apparently it means ‘good old fashioned AI’, which is at least less alarming than what I guessed it might mean (‘they’re doing gain-of-function research on AI now?’), but it dates back to the 1980s? So it’s referring to AI as it was practiced back in the even gooder, older days than that?

So is the argument that if you aren’t doing it using fully symbolic programming, it’s not ‘AI’? No matter how intelligent it gets?
I'm wondering if the end result is just fine if you cube the apples instead. Something a little more crisp, but maybe not a tarte anymore at that point?

This happened back in the 90's so I'm sure things have changed a bit since then.

One of the guys I went to high school with worked the swing shift at a gas station in our town. The shift was 11pm-11am. It was a small town so the gas station rarely had any business after midnight. I guess the guy got bored and started reading all the manuals the manager had in his office.

To this day, I'm not even sure how he did it, but he managed to change the price of gas/gallon on two of the four pumps down to 5 cents a gallon. Then he proceeded to call all his friends and family to come fill up for almost nothing. He reverted it back sometime around 5 or 6am. It took the station a few months to figure out what had happened, but by then, we both had graduated and were on to college. I remember running into him at a bar when I was home and he told me the whole story.

When I worked there (before he was working the night shift) I remember there was a box on the floor by the cash register which displayed the price of gas. It had a sizable chunk of cables going in and out of the box, along with some buttons on top near the display. The manager at the time told explicitly not to fuck around with that box, its a federal crime and I will go to jail. I'm guessing the guy figured out how to change the price from that box.

To this day, I still have no idea how he did it.
The Framework keyboards are not particularly appealing compared to (earlier) ThinkPads, in terms of layout. No full-height cursor keys or top row, too many keys missing one might want, in particular on Windows. Unfortunately the keyboard cutout is vertically so constrained that a third party also can’t do anything about it.

> Developers are users too.

But not generally the users of the systems that are being built. Those are the people you need to think about. Sometimes they will be other developers, but more often they'll be end users of some sort or another. And, even as a developer, I don't want your leaky abstractions and complexities bleeding through your service API endpoints all the time.
Also no places where you regularly go?

In Central Europe a lot of supermarkets and malls already have DC charging (sometimes AC charging too). So during a regular (20-30 min) visit at the supermarket you can easily charge the battery up to 80%.

Where I live every town with more than ~1000 inhabitants got at least one AC charging spot operated by the local electricity provider. Charging there may be cumbersome though, because you may need to walk back 5-10 minutes to your apartment and pick up the car a few hours later.
Show HN: Easy MQTT Handler – An MQTT Client to Connect Your PC to Home Assistant
Hey HN.

I wanted to share my pet project and first open-source contribution with everyone here!

Here's a summary of what the tool does:

The tool was mainly developed to provide an easy way to integrate Personal Computers into Home Automation and offers a simple, but functional, GUI to connect to an MQTT Broker and listen to a topic.

The user is able to define commands and parameters that should be part of the payload of the MQTT messages received from the broker. For each command/parameter combination the user can then define an executable that should be launched once a certain command/parameter combination is received.

The tool is neatly integrating into the users' environment by sitting in the tray area as a tray icon.

It comes with a Qt5-based GUI and is licensed under the GPLv3+.

If you have any questions about, just ask!

Thanks.
Yeah, nobody really cares about the dumb number next to the posts anyway. What's actually annoying is being misunderstood, because the article seems to have produced mainly two comments:

1. "That's a pretty bad default." (it would be, after all.)

2. "That scenario is quite contrived."

The former is just a misunderstanding, but I think the reason why it happened is simple: the article is written in a way that doesn't really make it clear whether it is a condition they added or a condition they observed. On the other hand, giving someone the benefit of the doubt, I personally assumed that it was unlikely someone would intentionally add this, since it's, well, you know... Quite contrived.

I think I understand the purpose now (it's intentionally contrived, merely for practice with probably a less contrived setup in the future) and I hate to be overly harsh on the article, since it's perfectly fine for someone's personal blog, but when I see something on HN's frontpage, I generally have some expectation for how interesting it is. After all, plenty of genuinely very interesting things die in new, why would this make it out? Alas, sometimes it just happens.
The state I learned to drive in didn't have an anti-gridlock law[1], so I had to look this up for California. The text of the anti-gridlock law is:

> Notwithstanding any official traffic control signal indication to proceed, a driver of a vehicle shall not enter an intersection or marked crosswalk unless there is sufficient space on the other side of the intersection or marked crosswalk to accommodate the vehicle driven without obstructing the through the passage of vehicles from either side

Assuming the pedestrian counts as being on the "other side of the intersection" and prevents there from being sufficient space to "accommodate the vehicle being driven" I think you are correct.

1: They would put up a "do not block intersection" sign anywhere that this became a problem, and then you could get ticketed for disobeying a road sign.
The issue is more that I can’t get the equivalent of a slider control to adjust one or more properties of the voice from the AI in real time… like a vocal fry slider to use an example of something most people are capable of deliberately doing when they want to… but the currently available models are pre-trained to sound like the average/median of one specific person (or character) and while I imagine tools will improve to control and customise the training of the models to customise this vocal output I don’t see a clear path from the current model architectural design to one where I can freely control the stylistic expression aspects of the vocal output without loading in a completely different set of model data trained for that new desired output.
IMO, you forget one important point: control.

If your open source project/protocol is the most popular, and you have the governance over it, then you decide where it goes. Chromium is open source, but Google controls it, and everyone who depends on it has to follow. If Chromium was not open source, maybe Firefox would be more popular, and Google would not have control over that.

> or ignore (expensive to your reputation).

I don't think that anything is expensive for Google. They can do whatever they want.

It's not reasonable because consent must be freely given. That includes there not being any negative consequences for saying no. A paywall is a negative consequence.
But no one in science uses Python loops for example, they use NumPy / Jax / Polars etc so that is an unfair and disingenuous comparison.

There's a reason why shooting from the hip isn't very accurate. :)
The device still has to be repairable in order for the repair shop to do it affordably, and the same is true even if you then choose to buy a new one, because an old appliance that can be repaired and resold has a higher trade in value. The lack of repairability costs you money whether you do the repairs yourself or not.
I was able to afford a house 5 years ago, but now I cannot afford this same house if I were to buy it today. IMO, that's not how home-owning should work. Something seems broken.

To make matters worse, if the interest rates do drop, I have a feeling many more people will start buying homes, driving home costs up even more.
If it's as low-latency as they say, then small microcontrollers could just use it for the register file directly, no?
And yet Bluetooth 5 claims 'up to' 240 meters.

I wouldn't base a national franchise's business on what BT 5.0's 'up to' states, but it's not impossible that they would rely on at least 50 meters working. I can think of very few gas stations that have a separation from pump to cashier of more than that and most of them are truck stops.
