Well the MacBook air is the cut down budget product. The Framework can't compare to the MacBook Pro. The mini led screen, the battery life, the performance, the speakers. I wish it did because I much prefer Linux to MacOS

why do they always choose the Air and not a laptop that also has active cooling like the Framework.

I want framework to succeed because i like the idea of modularity but c'mon, go against a MacBook Pro at least.

I suspect it was really a matter of how VC sold itself in a ZIRP environment. They were "the yield guys" in an environment where there was no yield.

They could have advertised themselves as "we're making big long term investments in serious innovation that will maybe pay out in the distant future" and they probably could have raised money that way in an environment where money was basically free, but not as much. So instead we got "we're making the world a better place through paxos algorithms for consensus protocols."
I mean, everything is dialect-specific, and there is a lot of variation between dialects around /æ/ in particular (trap-bath, bad-lad, Mary-marry-merry, and the whole mess of /æ/-raising/tensing - is ban-back an example that's always split?).

But I'd still say it'd be interesting to record your voice and check the actual timings even if you can't consciously hear the length. Assuming you can actually practice running speech while thinking about it, of course.

Just use metals then. Aluminum is good. If you want cheaper and easily castable/molded like plastic then die cast zinc is great.
You bring up another interesting point that I hadn't realized. The internet doesn't allow us to recognize the "liars" as easily. In the village example you gave, you have a person's face to go off of. On the internet, I could see 100 different "people", but it could be all the same face and I just don't know it.

There's a bunch of variations of that, but I think you get the point. Our natural abilities to filter things appropriately is drastically hindered and subverted in the current forms of delivery on the internet.

> They also often receive highly-supervised training from a trusted source. Later, they get formal training on top of that.

Languages as they are spoken have many quirks and patterns that are different than how most parents believe the language works, and those quirks are readily adopted by infants even though few parents if any would consciously teach them. A great phonetic example is "choo choo chrain": we often pronounce words very differently from how we think we're pronouncing them. There are also plenty of grammatical facets that are similar—cases where there's a stark difference the real rule and the rule as formally taught or where a rule is picked up that the parent doesn't even know exists (such as the order of adjectives).

As for the formal training, schools don't generally teach any natural dialect of spoken English (at least in the US), they teach a formal written dialect of English that differs in many respects from the language that we pick up as infants. This dialect is the source of many of the misunderstandings mentioned above, and yet children will learn natural language as spoken regardless of the attempts of well-meaning teachers to correct them.

To me this all suggests that supervised learning for the natural spoken language is unnecessary. Children assimilate their native language from the way it is spoken around them. The main purpose of the formal instruction is to teach children to speak a special dialect in formal settings that will mark them as educated precisely because it is distinct from the one that they'd have picked up naturally.

This is true. Devs are looking for frameworks. See CrewAI who refuses to allow users to disable some pretty aggressive telemetry, yet they have a huge number of GH stars.

I thought one of the underlying reasons for ZIRP was a massive public underinvestment. Basically the supply of government debt was so restricted and the demand for it was so high that people were willing in many cases to pay the government to take their money.

I also have a Framework 13, and I agree that Apple’s ARM laptops have amazing performance per watt. The reason I have a Framework 13 instead of an ARM Mac is user-serviceability and cost savings. There is 32GB of RAM in my Framework, and at any time I could choose to upgrade to 64GB whenever necessary. However, because RAM in ARM Macs is integrated into the system and is not a separate user-replaceable component, I must purchase the maximum amount of RAM I could afford upfront, which is prohibitively expensive for me. I also do not like how storage is built-in instead of available as NVMe M.2 modules. I miss the days of my 2006 MacBook and my 2013 Mac Pro, which were both easy to upgrade. It’s this lack of upgradability in recent Macs that led me to switch to PCs despite my preference for macOS over Windows and desktop Linux.

With that said, if a company offered me the choice between a PC or a Mac, I’d pick the Mac every time. It’s different when someone else is paying ;).
Also big companies not paying court fees in the state they have a ton of assets in is not going to be a thing either.

The AI slop problem is bad enough on TikTok/YouTube today. I shudder at the future of user-generated video platforms. I also wonder if the low barrier to create these videos will outpace the storage and processing capacity of the free platforms.
I think this is right, but optionality is valuable.

I'm curious if a $500 mini PC plus a bottomed out mb air would suffice (maybe not! Having all your stuff on your laptop can be useful)

For all that, I haven't considered a Mac mini even though I'm probably an ideal user. It doesn't help that it's on the m2 instead of m3, though. (Or m4, which is in iPads?)

I probably should

It's the MO to extract profits from private, non-profit kindergartens here in Norway. Non-profit kindergartens get subsidies from the state, so it's lucrative to have that status.

The owners of the kindergarten hire the daily manager. They hire out the building itself to the kindergarten, as well as HR, accounting services etc. The prices are not 1000% market rate but certainly not competitive. By controlling the daily manager they make sure the kindergarten doesn't try to find better deals.

Thus the kindergartens make no profit, yet the owners can extract a decent profit regardless.

Pretty sure this idea was imported, and not something unique here.

Account recovery is actually extremely tricky as it's very time consuming to verify that user is who he says he is. Hackers are really good at social engineering and with AI even video checks are not realiable.

The only way to make it robust is to bring it to physical life with real ID and photo/face check - that will cut out on 99.99% of abuse and impersonation attempts. The problem is that it is extremely expensive and frankly can't be funded from ad revenues.
That is going to create a large barrier to entry for people. It will also mean a whole different type of upgrade to get new versions they are used to, so if they manage to get it setup, they will be unlikely to get new releases.

If you can package it into a standard app that would probably be much better for users.

I’m running my Plex server on my NAS with Docker, and have taken classes at work on Podman from Red Hat. For something I would want to use everyday on my laptop, I couldn’t be bothered to use Docker.

Right, but are its labels of the state actually incorrect? I don't know well enough how to check.
Revolution against what? Should we act NOW to take out all the plausibly psychotic plutocrats, well before they can arm themselves?

Or do we wait until they actually create an army of armed drones? Of course, by then it'd be too late.

Or do we choose a time frame that's in-between, trusting that the politicians and the courts and the police departments will pass and enforce laws to protect us before the plutos can amass power via fully automated factories -- laws that will never actually come to pass, since plutocrat-interests-and-their-minions already own the current system?

Nah. We frogs will boil LONG before revolution is a viable option.

Ask HN: Where to find neglected niche market opportunities?
Hi, everyone. I am a new indie hacker trying to build my own businesses.

I follow some developers build in public in Twitter and pay attention to new products in product hunt. But I find many people just develop products which are fashion (like new AI tools) and attract others developers (like build in public). If the product doesn't aim to developers, building in public has little use.

I want to be more closer to customers and neglected niche market, instead of being close to technique and developers. Do you have any suggestions where to find them? Thanks so much

My recomendation is to start with a turtle, like in Logo. I think that Python has a similar module.

With my daughter, we started with a turtle that was a custom cotrol in Clasic Visual Basic 6. Later some mixed graphical programs were I wrote most of the graphic code as a library, and she wrote small part to draw nice things.

Later some simple programs in VB6, later C, Python and other languages. She is currently programing mostly in C#.

(She also programed in redstone or whatever is call the script language in minecraft.)
One key thing not mentioned is OS support. I own an M2 MBA for personal use, and have an M2 MBP at work, specifically because they feature macOS. I realise that is not to everyone's taste, but it is mine, it's where I'm productive, and what I enjoy using. This is a spec-point worth something to me as a result. For those who prefer Linux, that may be a spec point worth something too!

I love many things about the Framework laptops, and hope Apple learns from them on those things, but ultimately I'm still on Macs because that spec point is worth so much to me.

I randomly stumbled across this impressive, home brew graphics subsystem for C64 today. The goal seems to be pushing the boundaries of what would have been possible with period-correct, through-hole 74LS parts (no FPGA or ASIC) toward advanced arcade-level graphics hardware.

Mine is significantly better than that, I don't mind saying it doesn't last as long as my (I think M3 Max) MBP, but it's not that bad. I use Arch rather than Ubuntu, and I think have 'tlp' or something installed as generally recommended (for any laptop), but haven't otherwise done anything special. I haven't even updated the firmware/BIOS, which I think is supposed to offer a battery life improvement.
Unfortunately people tend to underestimate their own provocations by orders of magnitude. Even when we get full out flamewars the instigator inevitably says things like 'but I was only mildly teasing' or what have you. In any case, what matters is effects, not intent, and that's what we have to moderate by (https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&sor...). The effects of snark, flamebait, and so on are predictable, so commenters are responsible for avoiding them.

I recently wrote an Ask HN post[1] about obtaining my trademarked X & YouTube handles (neither is registered by a user/both are being “protected” from being registered by the respective platforms).

Since 2022 I’ve worked with legal/support teams and successfully climes my trademarked handle/username from:

Meta (IG & Threads)
Microsoft (GitHub)
Reddit
TikTok
Amazon (Twitch)
Kick

Similarly, no user had registered my trademarked name on those platforms either, but I couldn’t register it because they were all “protecting” the name/brand from being registered.

Of note, Meta’s legal team was the most responsive and transferred me the accounts within 24 hours of sending my Trademark Notice, following a couple back and forth email confirmations.

Unlike every other platform a Discord user did in fact register my trademark and is holding himself out as “CEO of {trademark}” with the “TM” trademark emoji following the trademark. After authenticating me as the owner of the trademark Discord’s legal team concluded they could not determine who the actual owner was and informed me I would have to sue the user and give them a copy of the Court Order. Really bizarre they would throw their user under the bus, not consider I could also name them a defendant, and that Discord was confused as to the owner of the trademark meets the legal burden of proving trademark infringement (likelihood of confusion standard).

I detailed my frustration in the post of not being able to actually speak to a human at X or YouTube, which would no doubt immediately resolve my requests like every other platform. I even noted in a comment the likelihood I’d have to file lawsuits to actually speak to a human which I believe would result in an immediate resolution/settlement.

Perhaps I will sue X, YouTube and discord, but I really shouldn’t have too and these companies should pay damages when a customer can show no human support was ever given.

As a senior developer of 30+ years experience, I agree and was going to post the same thing.

If code is difficult to understand, I consider that to be a bug. And if, for some reason, the section of code actually is difficult to implement, I would at least want a pretty good comment explaining the context around it and the reasons for the approach taken.

Not only will this help improve the code, but if it is a senior developer, it will help them to understand where they've become blind to a particular complexity. It is great feedback to have someone explain that they don't understand code that seems 'fine' to you.
That's a good insight. The likely consequence will be that security services on both sides increasingly target open source projects as a zone of conflict, both by trying to inject security vulnerabilities that they can exploit when used by the other side and by trying to detect vulnerabilities prior to use on their side. The maintainers and code committers on major open source projects will be targeted for recruitment as intelligence assets.

Looks like an app that is labeled TikTok US would suffice. And this app would recommend videos from TikTok (or any other service). And this would show ads too.
This reviewer seems really bitter about what Apple can manage with hardware where framework can't quite meet. The processor comparison seems woefully out of touch, among other points.
Close, but it's actually run with two large groups: one that gets the real shot, and one that gets a fake shot. You then compare the two groups, rather than comparing with the population.
