> Sudanese gum accounted for 80 percent of the global gum trade. From 50,000 tons per annum in the 50’s and 60’s, Sudan’s gum exports declined to around 25,000 tons in the late 80’s. Since then, Sudanese exports have been at an average of 25,000 tons.

Seems weird world population and consumption increased by... a lot sinc ethe 60s but Sudans production halfedand still accounts for 80% of world demand? I guess there's substitutes, or some uses deprecated.

This website is fantastic! I love the layout!
In my country things like electricity and water supply are considered a right and a supplier has to go to court to get a supply shut off. Unfortunately we don't yet consider an internet connection in the same way, despite the government essentially requiring it these days.
I'm not entirely sure about safty in this case. Especially in a system that has to work in a wide range of real-world conditions...
I always find it interesting when Discord is always called a gaming chat platform (or sometimes video chat), when all but 3 servers, which I rarely use, are not about gaming, and only one ever uses video chat (our TTRPG group). Makes me wonder how vastly different the average Discord experience is from mine.

And as a tangent: I really wonder what I did to FT to get "Sorry, you have been blocked" for quite some time now.
I had to take a look at some examples, because my last Perl work was over 15 years ago. This is neat:

grammar Parser {
rule TOP { I <love> <lang> }
token love { '♥' | love }
token lang { < Raku Perl Rust Go Python Ruby > }
}

say Parser.parse: 'I ♥ Raku';
# OUTPUT: ｢I ♥ Raku｣ love => ｢♥｣ lang => ｢Raku｣

The same thing in other languages would require a lot more code, without a parser module. An LLM tells me that functional languages can handle this stuff well too, but that Raku code is just extremely simple to grasp
No I asked a sincere question.

Your brain is fried from being on twitter and seeing political hackery everywhere.
Hill I will die on: Terraform being less expressive than a real language is a feature, not a drawback.

CDK/Pulumi/Yoke is optimised for being easy to write, but code should be optimised to be easy to READ.

Sure, cdk/pulumi/yoke lets you write the most clever and succinct construction you can compose in your favourite language.. however, whoever comes across your clever code next will probably want to hit you, especially if it's not a dev from your immediate team, and especially if you have succumbed to blurring the lines between your idk code and your app code.

If they instead come across some bog-standard terraform that maybe has a bunch of copy-paste and is a bit more verbose... Who cares? Its function will be obvious, there is no mental overhead needed.

On the flipside Helm templating is an absolute abomination and i would probably take anything over needing to immerse myself in that filth, maybe Yoke is worth a look after all. But the REAL answer is a real config language, still.
There sort of are "burn after reading" voice messages. After they're played once, they're removed after 2 minutes.

The recipient can tap "Keep" to permanently save the audio. This returns to the sender the prone-to-misinterpretation warning, "So-and-so kept a message from you."

The "Keep" function is actually an important signal here to the user that breaks the expectation that disappearing messages are unassailable. The recipient can always make a copy.

After that exchange Zelensky got full, energetic and unified support of the whole Europe and full support of his own people across political spectrum. And he sacrificed nothing because trump was openly signalling for a month that support of USA is already lost. The only cause that was not advanced was USA's.

USA mostly lost defense market in Western countries. What's a Patriot battery good for if US is going to suddenly and surprisingly align with your enemy and stop selling you the rockets for it?

Trump's temper tantrum intentionally triggered by Vance coached by backseat billionaires who put him where he is gave Zelensky everything he could realistically hope for from this meeting.
There's been about 4 different CPAC/prominent conservative figures who have sieg heiled on stages in front of Trump supporters. The most prominent after Elon was likely Steve Bannon, who didn't even put his hand on his heart. He just straight sieg heiled and smirked at the amount of consequences he knows he isn't going to experience.
US embassies seem to use a pair of Met One BAM-1020 sensors,[1] which run about $40,000 apiece.[2]

But that's beside the point. The sensors have already been purchased, the sensors are still being maintained, and the sensors are even still recording data. All they did is stop publishing the data.

Judging how the US administration has turned against its historic allies, while pandering to authoritarian regimes, I'm pretty sure that it's by design, not reckless.
The regular forges have just as many obstacles. You have to register an account, figure out whether the button you need is 'Pull Request' or 'Merge Request', and what the exact flow is.

The only reason things appeared simple in the past is because of GitHub's monopoly. As soon as you want to get rid of that, life gets more complicated. That is just another tradeoff you have to make.
Pictures tell me that the language area is dominant in a single hemisphere, mostly the left side, with motoric stuff and thinking about words in the front (Broca's area) and hearing in the back (Wernicke's area).

So you may have to use the SLI bridge again just to make sense of what the other side is hearing.
Right, I still don't think that is true. The people voting for Voter ID are not struggling to get a new ID when their old one expires.

Yes, there is no "federal ID" (besides passports and passport cards), but if you've had an ID before, it is not difficult to get a new one in any US state.

> It is not embassies' role to provide this service

It is the job of an embassy to provide it's nation with travel advise and recommendations. If the host nation cannot be trusted to provide accurate information about air pollution, then the embassies must do it.

I'd agree that it's not the embassies job to inform the citizens of host nation with the data, but that's practically free, once you are already distributing the info to you own people.

What I don't understand is, if it's that useful, could some other embassies not just do the work? The US normally have fairly well staffed embassies, not just some dude in a suit, but surely the WHO could locate appropriate embassies in almost any nation.
Manus AI is presented as a "general AI agent," marking a new evolution in AI.

It's designed to bridge the gap between idea conception and execution, unlike other AI that stop at - idea generation.

Angular size of the earth should be about 2 degrees. That is about nothing compared to the beam width of a 15 dB antenna. So space noise is definitely a factor here. However they made it work, and could have used an antenna with much more gain (think voyager dish) if necessary. Probably the idea behind the experiment is to track rovers on the surface where the antenna is only roughly pointed at earth - without the complexity and energy budget coming with a rotator.
Apple should bring back the 12" MacBook and put the M-series processor in it. Miss that form factor a lot.
>what's interesting, is instead of discussing what i said prior to the link, you chose to instead try and make me feel bad for linking a video.

Others had already rebutted your assertion at least as well as I could, so I didn't feel the need to repeat what had already been offered.

However, given your initial rationale:

>>note: not clicking that because you disagree with me is really doing yourself a disservice.

was a poorly constructed straw man. Which I noted. It wasn't that I was rejecting you, I was clarifying that I (and likely many others) come to HN to discuss matters of interest to us.

If I wanted to watch videos, I'd go to youtube and the like. I came to HN instead.

I'd point out that you didn't make clear that you were "citing your sources" with the video link.

Now that I know the source ("Stephen Somebody or other" who managed to get himself booked on some low-information blab fest to make his important pronouncement), my initial response, "[s]o tell me what you think, don't link to some rando on youtube," was spot on.

All that said, linking to video sources is absolutely reasonable. In fact, I've referenced stuff from videos several times.

But each time, I made sure to explain the context of the video, the text of the quote and, most importantly, who was being quoted.

As I did here:

It's also worth pointing out that this pattern is kind of common. As here, these agents are often at the very top. Almost all Organisations of Interest will be compromised at the leadership level.

It's something most grass roots activists don't feel intuitively at all.

They look for spies among their own level but it's almost always going to be the organisers, the helpers, the ones with the van, the one that can print your posters, the one with a bit of spare cash, the dude who can set up your server and the friendly friend with time to help you personally that are the spies.

Logically it makes sense for a spy to be placed as high as possible to get more information, and yet activists look for spies among the rank and file. They look for odd people to label as the spy. They expel the outsider. They suspect the ones that don't fit in. But the spy is going to be a well adjusted normal insider that they already trust, almost always!

I find it so interesting. It happens again and again. It's probably the same pattern for any group that attracts any government attention.
The Mac almost fits in the palm of your hand, and runs, if not silently, practically so. It doesn't draw excessive power or generate noticeable heat.

You could just as well argue that changing direction or admitting you got things wrong requires more spine than blindly sticking to the same direction even in light of new information.

Whether that applies to Starmer is a matter of opinion I suppose
Maybe it is, maybe not, UNIX and Windows server software have been multithreaded / multi-process for decades, we want tons of threads and processes, not a single one.
The law is about making sure the UK government has access to your encrypted data if they want it. It doesn't only apply to big corporate solutions.
Yet standardization across manufacturers is a huge hurdle... Like every automaker has different battery designs, voltages, and cooling systems optimized for their vehicles. Plus, swapping stations require massive infrastructure investments and a steady supply of charged packs, which means even more logistics and costs.
The Studio also hits a sweet spot for home users like me that want tons of IO and no built in input devices.
This feels like a decent answer. A bit like allowing inssder trading, although that has many more problems XD

You are right about before 1990, but already in 1990 Windows 3.0 was released, which had a non-negligible amount of users, even if most Windows 3.0 users typically switched continuously between using Windows 3.0 and MS-DOS, because they continued to use various MS-DOS applications, e.g. Lotus 1-2-3, WordPerfect and so on.

In 1990, far away from USA, and where computers where relatively much more expensive, I have started to use a 80386DX-based PC/AT clone on which (besides MS-DOS), I have used two 386-specific operating systems, i.e. Windows 3.0 and SCO UNIX (a couple of years later I have also used on it other 386-specific OSes, e.g. IBM OS/2 2.0).

I agree that during its lifetime more 80386 users must have used MS-DOS than other operating systems, but already since 1990 there was a non-negligible number of users of 80386 in 32-bit mode, with Windows 3.0 and its successors.

Moreover, even many of the strictly MS-DOS users were using EMM386.SYS in order to access the memory above 1 MB within MS-DOS programs.

While EMM386.SYS does not count as a complete operating system, it was a program using 80386 in its 32-bit mode that was an essential part of MS-DOS after 1990, because already by 1990 most 80386 PCs had more than 1 MB of memory, with 2 MB typical for the cheapest and 4 MB typical for the more expensive.

I have to say that their monetisation so far has been excellent, at least from my point of view.

I don't believe they have paywalled any core features, only paywalled a few new features that are cosmetic only. If you don't pay for Discord Nitro or anything, you can still chat, call, join and use servers. The biggest advantage of Nitro is actually shared with everyone on your favorite server, and by 'boosting' the server you give features to everyone on it. I like that.

Is there any way that they could have monetised it better? I see it as pretty creative and user-friendly, given there's not many avenues to monetise a free service such as a chat.
However to be more accurate that is from a time and age, where how management was going, maybe there wouldn't be an Apple today.

Apple stopped selling their 64GiB base model yesterday, I believe, and all of their phones are high-end.

In the real world, plenty of people use 64 or even 32GiB phones every day. I've even seen people use 16GiB phones with SD cards. If you have a family member that sends lots of images and video, you can easily fill your phone with messages without the occasional purge.

As for clogging up the phone: I find that the more media there is on my phone, the slower file pickers become over time. The files themselves can be tiny hyper-compressed JPEGs, but the thousands of entries in the cache table and kilobyte previews while scrolling still have an impact. It doesn't need to be about storage alone.

Imagine a Chinese company sued a Westoid nation over some national security feature.

Except that rape and murder are separate offenses and both would be charged, not one or the other.
I mean, these companies have enough issues with branding and explaining the differences between AI products, even those they provide (GPT-4, o1, o3-mini, etc. - do most openAI users know the differences between them or what they each specialise at?).

I guess they will take any opportunity to follow the leader here if they worry that they're at risk of similar branding issues here too.
Have you tried querying for specific misconducts and let the LLM focus at one at a time? E.g. Find whether murders were planned or carried out, can you find any signs or plans of bomb-making, can you list all messages related to fire and arson, were any mass manipulation campaigns planned, etc, ...

I have the feeling that would probably be more effective, not sure though.
I live in a WhatsApp country and nobody I know uses disappearing messages. I don't think people even know about the feature.

You can make a new instruction (or repurpose an existing one) that accesses physical memory bypassing the page walk, which would be faster. You can also make instructions that bypasses some checks (like privilege checks) and squeeze some tiny performance. Note this would introduce security issues though, so you could only use it on trusted software.
It’s the year of Linux on the laptop! That would be a serious opportunity.
Probably. We’re looking at three roundtrips here: one to fetch the HTML, one for the JS, and at least one for the packfiles (and that’s if you can do that in parallel). If the latency is high, the result can be... not great. HTTP/2 should help with this a bit, but it’s better to not have this problem at all IMO.

Of course, there’s also the argument that if you’re self-hosting a repo, you’re more likely to care about users that have disabled JS (which is a good idea, tbh).
Who is this made for? Who needs a personal computer this powerful? Not trying to be funny - it's a genuine question.

This belief has got to be the biggest propaganda victory for the Trump administrations.

It was noticeable in the first term how weak he was on this topic, but apparently losing a nonsensical trade war to them and saying mildly racist things at rallies made him tough on them? More stupidly, did he just say he was tough on China enough that people believed him?

Now that he's losing nonsensical trade wars with US allies and giving the green light to seizing territory from neighbouring countries it just highlights in neon how good he was and is for China, but it's silence (at best!) from the media.
Exactly. Sub-species Apple fanboy.
Both organizations have had reputations for being honeypots as early as 2016. There have been a number of instances of federal agents becoming embedded in the organizational structures of groups like this (see e.g. the Malheur Wildlife Standoff and the plot to assassinate Gretchen Whitmer). Groups of this scale tend to fall into one of three categories: 1) They are honeypots set up by policing and / or intelligence agencies, 2) they start off as legitimate (though potentially not-yet radicalized) organizations that are compromised by a member turning informant when the radicalization begins to alarm them, or 3) they start off as radical organizations and are compromised after a federal agency threatens the leadership with jail time or influences them into becoming informants. It's quite common for the FBI to frame this as "helping to keep people safe"; leaders in groups like this are frequently easy to manipulate with flattery.

To be fully transparent, I do have a partner but she doesn’t earn as much as me, she earns less than 2k€/month.

You are right to make the point that I couldn’t afford this lifestyle if I were alone without a family. Though I’d have very few interest in owning a 120m2 family house in this case, I’d probably live in a way cheaper apartment. I think being alone in the French countryside would be pretty boring, unless you are lucky enough to be near your friends and family.

Also, my point was absolutely not to compare European vs American lifestyle, saying which is better or going into the details, I just wanted to stress that comparing comfort of life by comparing revenue is not possible. It’s way more complex than "European earns less but don’t have to pay for healthcare".
Or, or they don’t want to go against countries like China anymore
