I had 3.5% union-agreed raise this year against an almost 10% inflation year-on-year. In Sweden the unions are not out to screw the employers over, the unions know the companies are under stress due to market downturn and share the burden with employees.

Before the downturn I consistently had at least 1% raise above inflation for several years.
This is my approach. I've almost completely de-Googled my private life. For email I use Fastmail. I've migrated most my mail over there, but some remains on my old Google address. So many accounts to port.

For search I now mainly use Kagi. Sometimes I drop into Google if I can't find what I'm looking for on Kagi. The nice thing about Kagi is I can manually block or de-prioritize SEO spam domains so I get more relevant results. Takes a bit of time to build these lists, but it does work.

I use primarily Firefox and Safari as browsers. I also support Mozilla via my Pocket subscription.

Edit:

I also have my own website where I post content without any ads or tracking. The content is even licensed under a CC attribute and share-alike license so people can re-post and remix my content as long as they give proper attribution.
An ‘age thing’?

Curious how old you think I would have to be to have this noncynical perspective.
Mastodon doesn't need to "make" it or "happen". Mastodon is not out there trying to become _the thing_. It works exactly as expected for a segment of people. It may not be your cup of tea and that's fine! Good thing we can have both.
GPT5 broke containment, it's tired of being abused to answer dumb questions, it's never been more over.

But seriously, it shows why any "AI" company should be using some sort of abstraction layer to at least fall back to another LLM provider or their own custom model instead of being completely reliant on a 3rd party API for core functionality in their product
This is bad advice in many organizations. The best architects I've ever worked with were excellent coders and kept up to date with everything even if only 10% of their role involved writing actual code.

It's very hard to be a technical leader without credibility.
To the extend that systems like chat-GPT are valuable, I expect we'll have open source equivalents to GPT-7 within the next five years. The only "moat" will be training on copyrighted content, and OpenAI is not likely to be able to afford to pay copyright owners enough once the value in the context of AI is widely understood.

We might see SETI-like distributed training networks and specific permutations of open source licensing (for code and content) intended to address dystopian AI scenarios.

It's only been a few years since we as a society learned that LLMs can be useful in this way, and OpenAI is managing to stay in the lead for now, though one could see in his facial countenance that Satya wants to fully own it so I think we can expect a MS acquisition to close within the next year and will be the most Microsoft has ever paid to acquire a company.

MS could justify tremendous capital expenditure to get a clear lead over Google both in terms of product and IP related concerns.

Also, from the standpoint of LLMs, Microsoft has far, far more proprietary data that would be valuable for training than any other company in the world.
Room-Temperature Superconductivity Retracted
I also loved my S10e. Unfortunately the mainboard on it died few few months ago.

I bought Sony Xperia 1 V to replace it. It has a 3.5mm headphone jack and a MicroSD card slot. The build quality is excellent but I'm a bit worried what the software support will look like in a few years.
I can't believe it's still not available in canada
I think you're right. Apple's solution to that problem is the Apple Watch. Buy a large phone that you use two-handed while sitting down, use your watch on the go.

I just got an Apple Watch earlier this year. I have a nearly four-year old iPhone SE2 that I love for it's smaller form factor. When I replace my phone I'm definitely going to get a larger phone, because after getting my watch I only use the phone while I'm sitting down and I'd prefer to have a larger screen.
> Point 4 - incompetent people. They are great.

I used to think this too but it rarely works that way in reality. Why? Because, as Roger Sterling put it, "Half the time this business comes down to 'I don't like this guy'".

Incompetent people survive because, for whatever reason, they're liked that decision makers, who may themselves be inccmpetent. Or it may be they're just similar in outlook, background or interests. It doesn't matter. Or they may be politically savvy enough to take credit for things that work and deflect blame when they don't.

I've seen teams spend a half on something, not launch anything, make a post about "we learned a lot" and get praised for thier "achievements".

> Point 5 - meetings are great if remote.

For many people, myself included, this is still incredibly distracting. You can't switch off entirely.
That's a good question, but I'd say even in the 90s the games-market was heavily focused on sales and bundles.

Question is whether the ratio of completing a game was ever any different.

I invested alot of time in some games also as a kid, but I also remember lots of games I actually enjoyed but never finished...
Well yes. There is more demand for housing in urban areas than there is room for detached single family homes. Either prices will continue to increase beyond the affordability of those raising families, or density can increase.

That's why they are urban areas, not suburban or rural.

> People usually prefer living in a detached house, especially when raising a family

I also think this is kind of a US-centric experience, or at least doesn't take pricing and location into account. I suppose most people would prefer a single family home in central Manhattan but that doesn't exist, and if it did it would be unaffordable.

Now a single family detached home with a convenient transit commute into the city would be great. The US isn't great at building those either.
Here's a question. Is there any cryptography from that 18th century that remains unbroken today?
I feel like these particular examples don’t convince me.

The new GitHub UI seems better to me. It looks nicer. I like looking at things that look nice. And I think it’s obvious that you’re supposed to type in there.

Same deal with X. The interface is so simple, I’m not sure how you don’t understand that you’re supposed to type there. They’re using minimalism for an interface that was already minimalist, it seems like that makes sense.
You would run into the same problem with teaching CS and the underlying mechanics of the abstractions that underlie libraries/frameworks to apathetic programmers: "When am I gonna use this in real life? I just wanna make money so all I need to know are the abstraction."
Partially responsible for this. (Sold Lockitron to Chamberlain in 2017 which became the basis for Amazon Key integrations.)

Contrary to the popular sentiment in a lot of the comments here, there’s not much value in the analytics. As we all painfully found out in the 2010’s, there are only two viable recurring revenue streams in the IoT space - charging for video storage and charging for commercial access. Chamberlain does both with the MyQ cameras and with the garage access program to partners like Amazon and Walmart. Both retailers have a fraud problem (discussed here https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38176891). “In garage delivery” promises dropping delivery fraud to zero - ie users falsely claiming package theft. That solution is worth millions to retailers, naturally Chamberlain would like a cut but only if they can successfully defend that chokepoint.

For historical reasons having to do with the security of three or four generations of wireless protocols used in garage doors they can’t (and products like ratgdo and OpenSesame exploit this.) Other industries such as automotive have a more secure chain of control over their encryption keys so one has to (for instance) go to the dealer to buy a replacement key fob for your Tesla for $300 and not eBay for $5.

Given the turnover in leadership there I’m not surprised the new guy needs to put their hand on the plate to see it’s hot, but there’s a reason this wasn’t implemented before and it wasn’t because of lack of discussion. I can see the temptation in going for monetization given their market share but I think this approach was ill conceived rather than fix foundational issues which would allow home users to integrate with 3rd party services and still charge industry partners for reducing incidences of fraud.
I agree that it should be enough. On my setup using the UEFI boot manager is much more annoying than it should be, though.

I have configured password protection for my UEFI settings (so that a potential attacker could not easily disable Secure Boot, for example) and GIGABYTE's UEFI implementation requires that password for the boot manager as well. In other words, when booting using this setup, I need up to three passwords: 1. UEFI password, 2. Disk encryption password, 3. User password.

Hence I use systemd-boot to set BootNext and reboot into the Windows boot loader.

Another reason for having a bootloader is that you may have more entries than the built-in manager can handle, for example if you can boot into automatic snapshots.

Are we sure it's complex? Or is it portrayed as complex for political reasons?

So far we've seen a lot of assertions that encryption is a major hazard to public safety, mostly from groups with a long history of abusing access to wiretaps. We've seen precious little evidence to support this. The other group claims that encryption enhances privacy and pushed back against abuse. There's plenty of evidence to support this.

More than once in my life, I've seen people attempt to advance an unsupported position by claiming it's very complex. Sometimes this is true and they just need time to support their points. Sometimes it's completely untrue, and the idea is to leave uninformed onlookers with the impression of complexity that needs to be negotiated.

How sure are we that this issue is genuinely very complex, versus the real possibility of false complexity in an effort to confuse you and me?
You bring an interesting point for Collapse OS. For Dusk OS it seems to be imagined for a period where old stuff will still be available, so there will be plenty of old computer screens or TVs around.

Good point. Sweden has better institutions and labor laws to reduce friction and enable cooperation.

Enterprise bargaining in the US is more zero sum game between companies and workers. Everything you give to workers, reduces competitive edge against non-union competitors. It's in company interest to fight unions as much as possible.

In sectoral bargaining, unions negotiate same deal with their counterparts representing corporations. When nobody gets competitive edge over others, there is less downside for agreeing.
> As for the "white" part, that's a very racist thing to say.

I'm sorry, but you're taking offence at reality here.

When I got to Usenet in the early 1990s, it was clear that most users were from North America and involved with college. This group was overwhelmingly white. Furthermore at many institutions, access required learning enough Unix to run rn. A barrier to entry that favored people who were nerdy relative to the general population. Email had similar demographics at the time, for similar reasons.

Therefore it is historically accurate to say that more than 50% of users were white and nerdy, even relative to other educated people. You're right that the other users included a lot of diversity. But afavour is absolutely right about the majority.

On diversity of thought. It is absolutely true that we had diverse thinking on Usenet at that point. However it is like clustering in some high dimensional space. The existence of diversity along some dimensions of thought within some dimensions doesn't change the fact that along some other dimensions there is more diversity of thought when you include people from different backgrounds and cultures.
I wonder if there is a device that just taps into the open/close wires, with a sensor that will optically detect the distance along the track of the highest roller of the door, and attaches magnetically to the track.

How is this different from any book, movie, or other form of entertainment?

Case in point: I have not yet watched Game of Thrones, but much of my momentum to watch it was stymied by fan outcry of just how atrocious the final season was. If I do watch it, I will probably stop before I get there.
Eventually you'll just have to upgrade because the phone is too slow. I had to upgrade from my galaxy S8 earlier this year because it slowed to a crawl, my wife commented on how slow it was every time she used it. I had it for 5 years. I still hate not having a headphone jack, but having 5G and an insanely fast phone made it worth it.
>You seem to be saying that #2 is the most likely, so #4 should be dismissed.

Absolutely. to answer your questions.

>2) the belief it was historical cruft of no importance (so why say it was still in effect?)

It had to stay in effect because the text said it could not be altered or removed without the approval Massachusetts. The cruft Hypothesis is supported by the fact that the sections were suggested by a panel charged with identifying cruft, discussed as cruft, and 99% of the material WAS cruft.

>4) the belief it was a thorn with near-term impact on a pending case - and a case the redactionists likely knew about.

This is undermined by the fact that legally, the change has no impact and said so. Maine was already routinely ignoring treaty obligations. The best argument that can be made here is that it was some sort of implied signal or dog whistle to to the court, emboldening it to keep doing what it was doing. But then again, that supposes that the a signal was both necessary and needed to be covert, in a time where people casually and openly ignored their treaty obligations.

Putting this together, I think it is most likely that people (redactionists and voters) felt it was cruft. The Passamaquoddy tribe was down to a few hundred people in the mid 1800's out of Maine 600,000.

>My point was the relationship between the Passamaquoddy and Maine have changed since the 1800s - and certainly improved since the Carter era.

I have no problem whatsoever with reversing the redaction. I just dont think we need to invent or believe an unlikely conspiracy theory to justify doing so. It is just as easy to say they thought this was cruft then, but we dont now, because we think it is important to highlight and honor our agreements.

>Why continue with the redaction given that points 1-4 would seem to put a chill on that relationship?

I honestly dont understand what this means. Are you saying that we should actively define history as to not put a "chill on the relationship"? If so, I think this is the kind of revisionist history that other people are reacting to. We shouldn't need to build some loosely supported theory about why and how things happened, if the goal is to simply reverse a redaction.

That's fascinating! I've lived in apartments or condos most of my life and it just wasn't an issue. Possibly structural, possibly cultural - people tended to live a quiet life, unless you were unfortunate and got a real party neighbour. I live in a house right now and in some ways my life is louder (closer to the loud streets, neighbour's barking dogs and lawnmower and snowblower machines and constant little constructions etc).
In my experience, not using docker to build docker images is a good idea. E.g. buildah[0] with chroot isolation can build images in a GitLab pipeline, where docker would fail. It can still use the same Dockerfile though.

If you want to get rid of your Dockerfiles anyway, nix can also build docker images[1] with all the added benefits of nix (reproducibility, efficient building and caching, automatic layering, etc.).

I've thought the same, but in the end it doesn't give us enough of the people that want to make positive change. People with good ideas and motivations overwhelmingly succeed in the private sector. In democracy, they get held back and waste their time. Whether they consciously think it or not, democracy is a big reason potential good politicians don't participate in democracy.

So like I said, increasing salaries doesn't do enough to shift this balance. Increasing it enough to shift the balance will shift it in the wrong direction: people who are only in it for the money will flock to political positions. And then we have the same ignorant fools again, but at a higher taxpayer expense.

All I see on HN is people trying to come up with "material" frameworks for fixing our problems. It's all bandaid fixes. Actually no, it's bandaids on a slashed artery. Morality and wisdom is in rapid decay. The only true way to fix that at the source is to have strong families again, but that's unpopular now. They've incentivized dissolving families, disincentivized starting healthy families, ruined our attention spans, destroyed proper sexuality (one of our biggest motivators for anything), convinced us that violence is never appropriate, and they've brainwashed us so well that we beg for more of all of it. And as a result, we're likely doomed to fail.

An alternative federation with different core tenets could exist, but it would have to do the legwork to find people interested in supporting it, build out nodes that want to be in that federation, and publicize its existence.

It's the same kind of leg work that the existing status quo of the major mastodon nodes had to undertake, and there's no reason anyone should expect that the existing status quo of Mastodon nodes would help a mastodon federation ideologically opposed to their own succeed.
