Industrialization, obviously. China made more money, and faster.

All such questions are easily answered once you take a look at the per-capita budget each country has for the required expenditures.
There's no shortage of industrial and traffic accident videos coming out of China, very often showcasing horrendous working conditions and absolutely depraved levels of apathy from onlookers, which is to say that China isn't very good at suppressing videos that make them look bad. But in all of these videos, China looks 1000x more clean than India. Am I to believe that the Chinese government cares more about suppressing videos that show litter on the streets than a video of a woman slowly running over a child, putting her car in reverse and running over them again, all while people walk by and pretend they don't see it happen?
In eastern Europe in 80-90s produced small trucks with analog diesel engines, but as I know most enterprises already scraped and most lucky now producing WW or Renault by license.
The is a disconnect between the people who do actual work on the ground in the world and the internet.

People in the real world report things - people on the internet read 3 out of 4 of the words in the headline and screech hysterically and run around spouting prophecies about the end of the world.

I am a person on the internet.
If you have sweets in front of you and some cognitive dissonance in your head about how you both want and don't want them at the same time, this CPU time could be spent on more interesting things.

If you understand you don't want them given a broader context, then it requires no self-dispcipline - you just don't want them.

But if you can't untangle your contradiction, i.e. if self-discipline is required, why would you want to spare any thought on that?

I understand your point about this resisting temptation being a skill, a muscle that you train, that you want to master and that feels empowering. I'm just pointing out that when truly mastered it is 100% effortless - and when it is 100% effortless it means you either can't have it or understand that you don't want to (which is the same as simply not wanting to).

Otherwise it's a cognitive dissonance, a distraction.
Huh. Interesting but I think it's coincidence TBH.

The all-in-one Archimedes were the 3xxx series: A3000, 3010, 3020.

That would have been a far more obvious and better fit.

The Pi 400 is based on the Pi 4, so 4000 would have fit, but the A4000 was a classic 3-box design with a SoC:

a wonderful thing to do in that case is to either ask, or present your concern as a concern. An expression of uncertainty and fear. Not as a statement, or counterclaim, or by trying to propose a solution to the problem you've invented.

The figurative "you", in this case
I did history GCSE as well in the mid 90s, and from what I can recall it was only 20th century history. I'm also pretty sure that the curriculum was split into several modules and the school got to pick something like 3 out of N modules to focus on.
While I can understand your cynicism, and I know the reality of loopholes, it would make it much harder.

Also, consider the more "puppets" needed, they less stable the system becomes, and the more likely a "puppet" exposes the system (as whistleblowers in the mafia).

In any case, the thinking can't be "it's too hard, we can't do anything anyhow" because then society is really f-ed and the rich get what they want: hopelessness and conformity.

Again, there are examples of northern & Scandinavian countries that did this with great results. It's just a matter of pushing through.
No command ever says to love everyone equally.

We are to fill our hearts with love, so that even if we have to protect the oppressed, we are not to be filled with hate or rage or take any pleasure in vanquishing the aggressor.

We are to treat people according to what the society needs, for God's Will is peace and happiness for all human beings.
My parents were Irish,English so I'm always caught in the middle.
It's obvious that many English people are inclined to ignore the opium trade or the famine and think about bits of history that make them feel good. I'd just mention that almost nobody is without skeletons in their national closet of one kind of another - probably less bad.

I am 50 and my understanding has changed over time. Like every teenager I wanted to be proud of who I was but fortunately being a mongrel creates a note of discord in one's head - who to be proud of?

The need to feel proud is a driver of all sorts of shit. We shouldn't feel ever more than a little proud or proud of what we personally have done but I'm not even sure of that. It's always a simplification. One should not have to call on history to respect oneself.

Irish people made use of the Empire too and went to the colonies to seek their fortunes. My dad was one. I was born in one and saw the recent Irish immigrants behaviour - they were a mixed bag like everyone else. Most were sort of ok and one or two were atrocious but not more or less than anyone else.

As a gross over-simplification, I think history is about people conquering other people and building larger and larger groups which become kingdoms then nations then empires or federations or unions. I get this feeling that it's mathematical. Whoever can organise on a large scale will absorb whoever is smaller.

So if we want to have a reasonable future, we must learn to organise on a large scale with negotiation and rules/laws so that someone can't absorb us by doing it the violent way.
It is a relative small company which is catering the DIY market. To build any substantial user base with industrial applications, I guess their way is to continue to be open and enable people to build DIY stuff and a tiny fraction of these will one day build products with ESP chips inside.
When the Finder's error exceeds 50%
Michael Bloomberg already tried the "hey, I'm like that guy but without the wrong think" xerox strategy and it didn't go well. Mark Cuban has toyed with it too but keeps getting cold feet, maybe due to lack of confidence or maybe due to analysis that shows being Them-Lite rarely works.

Trump's reality tv show is not a major part of what got him elected but if someone wants to fund and convince Mark Cuban to try a doppelganger campaign, a fool and his money are soon parted. Cuban seems to know better than to try with his own fortune.
By western (de-facto) standards the vast majority of Indians will still be considered under poverty.
Nikon aren't doing much better on letting third-party lenses into the ecosystem, sadly - speaking as someone with three Nikon DSLRs and Sigma glass I'm very happy with.
I'm still surprised What3Words isn't more popular outside of the UK.
In Poland Allegro takes the most dominant role. It started as a simple auctions site 26 years ago and now it's a big e-commerce platform with additional classifieds, price comparison engine and consumer credit, tickets marketplace services. In last years they enter Czechia, Slovakia, Hungary - mostly by acquisition of existing sites and services.
The last attempt of slice out what Allegro managed to grab by the largest IT company have failed. Comarch which exists since '93 and has branches in 32 countries couldn't withstand Allegro dominance at home and their wszystko.pl service closed after only 7 months.

So amazon is not that much popular here - the force of habit for buying on Allegro works against Bezos' company. They enter too late, offered not much at the start and often products descriptions were poorly machine translated. There was even a picture that ran for a while around our part of the Internet where some Nigerian economy book title due to this translation mishap become really offensive.

When qtest was released, I was there in the IRC channel and one of the first to play.

I remember connecting to someone's machine and just destroying everyone. Afterward I got a message from someone congratulating me, but being incredulous about my ping time being 26ms.

I happened to be on the first floor in the first dorm on campus to get wired internet access, and they had an OC3 dedicated to it. Two months earlier there were 16 of us splitting that line, with public IP addresses. (Going back to dial-up after leaving the dorm was.. difficult).

So I told him, yeah I kinda have a ridiculous internet connection here at school. He was like, "no, you don't understand - it is my machine. I am playing on the server and your ping time is lower than mine!"
Intel Setting the Stage
Well, if this is not mentioned at all during history classes, at least it prevents them from being taught that "British brought prosperity and development to all of its colonies, making the world better for everyone" and "they should be thankful that we went there and did all those things, how nice of us, and how rude of them not to thank us again and again!".
If you’re trying to monetize, realize that a feature is not a product.

The product is the network. The restricted window is a feature. I can already achieve this with screen time and leechblock.

But no quibbles if it’s just hobby project.
You believe that what you believe is true (you have to by definition). But is it? What is truth? That's the whole point of propaganda in shaping public opinion.

It can also be very subtle because what you are told may be "true" but may not be the whole truth and may not give a comprehensive account of all the facts at play. I think that's broadly what separates propaganda in Western countries (where outright lies are difficult to sustain) vs propaganda in dictatorships.

In Europe the reactions to apparent changes in US policy are overblown, the "Russian threat" is overblown. Both are for a reason. But it seems that people have been so "prepared" that governments can announce doubling defence budgets (with what money?), conscription, the EU stepping into defence and almost no-one blinks.
The article mentions the UK Government Risk Register, which I've always thought was pretty interesting. They publish it each year (I think) as a PDF and it's very easy to access and read.

If Cuban ran against Kamala he wouldn’t even have to campaign.
It's a bit like making a rave with headphones instead of soundsystem.

> There is no way that's true in my research group.

Well, congratulations for you, but there's a real crisis of legitimacy in some fields. Especially once they've been filtered through the pop-sci press release filter, which only makes things less accurate and more extravagant claims.

Social science and psychology have big reproduction crises and seemingly no recent usable results at all. Nutritional science seems to be compromised by the food industry. Economics blatantly has different "schools" which give different answers depending on politics. "Business science" seems barely worthy of the name of science at all.

The risk is that mistrust from those spills over into scientifically settled but politically controversial areas.

Claude actually animated the nightfall, unprompted.

I don't think it's fair to say Mistral didn't implement flocking. The force is just very weak.

EDIT: I guess I confused flocking with herding, fair enough.
I'm aware that he has his detractors. I'm not a Coogan apologist! I'm just saying that the book covers the Malthusian angle well enough and it cites sources. The genocide angle is controversial to some but 90% of the book is straightforward fact.
The thin-skinned fool is likely crying to his orange puppet about imposing tariffs on Korean cars.

Except the methodology biases the response: phone-only vs. in-person for example.

You should read up on Göedel's and Turing's work on the limits of formal systems and computability.

You are basically presuming that P=NP.
The typical problem is that the organisation simply does not have the competence at the correct level to actually order the correct thing from the medium-sized IT company.

In the past, the organisation has probably tried (maybe even several times) to replace the Excel mess with an IT system, only to receive something that costs them a lot of money and solves the wrong problem..
From TFA:

> The ESP32 series of chips support open-source NimBLE and Bluedroid as Bluetooth host stacks.

The undocumented commands in question (which implement the debug interface) are about to become documented, and Espressif was both transparent in their publication, and pledged for more transparency moving forward.

How much more do you want?
I don’t think you quite understand the full range of assets. Corporate entities are assets. Twitter was an asset that cost Elon $44 billion
They didn't think that Trump lost fairly, but what they think doesn't matter. The law takes it's course.
Good for them that the internet is big.

I don’t share this thread’s ideas about making it accessible for everyone. I think people are too fixated on scale and inclusion.

It’s absolutely fine to work for three evening hours in a fixed timezone. Every timezone has enough people to not meet every one of them in a lifetime.

If someone wants this in their timezone, they can just llm-php it into existence. Or ask OP about sharing source codes.

Rubbish, Hyundai and Kia and far ahead of Tesla in terms of overall package.

If all you value is 0-60, then that's on you.

But sit in both cars and the quality speaks volumes.

You can tell where Tesla keep cutting costs, whereas Hyundai (yes Hyundai!) make quality.
That's just not true. Even the New York Times had Trump projected to win on election day '24, before any state had finished polling.
Yes, but our GitOps repository heavily utilizes Kustomize and Flux, allowing us to reuse a significant amount of code across multiple deployment stages and clusters, which has proven to be very effective.

We have worked with Terraform modules before, but they quickly became difficult to manage.

Additionally, deployments to ECS are typically handled by invoking the AWS API within a GitHub Action, without continuous reconciliation or drift detection.
Lots of countries have settled on a local marketplace before FB arrived. E.g. in New Zealand, https://www.trademe.co.nz/ is too big to be displaced.

First mover advantage, nimbleness, and filters appropriate to regional differences (e.g. in Switzerland, translating easily between the different langages and filtering by canton) make such website stay ahead of the FB juggernaut.
HP did the same when migrating away from the PA RISC architecture.

IIRC as part of their testing they set it up so it would ingest, recompile and output code for the same architecture, and found that it could produce speed improvements due to context awareness.
Famines, blockades & sanctions on basic goods were the WMD of the colonial age. All the latecomer nations raced to get out from under this boot and become empires - and became the same sort of monster or worser.

The Dangers of an IDE
Excellent comment. The only thing I can add is the obligatory "why stop there?", Poincaré true to form gives a beautiful description of the symmetries of flat spacetime, but we know that spacetime is only locally flat, the measurement symmetries at large scale are carried by the (unfortunately named) Killing fields[0].

Or nginx. In both cases it’s probably more expensive than an ALB but you have better integration with the app side, plus traffic mesh benefits if you’re using istio. The caveat is that you are managing your own public-facing nodes.

Turning off weapons we're providing to others would be devastating for the domestic defense industry, right up there with the shot to our own foot that kicking Russia off the SWIFT system was. Trump may be okay with aggravating our allies, but killing faith in our defense industry is an unforced error I don't see him likely to make.

Now, if the UK were to turn against us militarily (yet again), it'd be a different story. But in lieu of that, the reputation of American industry is likely to be the incentive that keeps them functioning.
Moon size is completely relative of course. Ganymede is larger than Mercury.

Show HN: Instantly Extract Color Palettes from Any Website
Hey HN!

I built https://colorize.design, a free tool that extracts color palettes from any website in seconds. Just enter a URL, and it analyzes the site's visuals and code to generate curated color palettes.

Why I Made This

As a designer, I often come across beautifully designed websites and want to quickly grab their color schemes. Inspecting elements or using browser extensions felt tedious, so I built a tool to automate the process.

How It Works

Screenshot Analysis: Extracts dominant colors from the site’s homepage.

Favicon Extraction: Pulls key colors from the site's logo.

Code Parsing: Scans HTML, CSS, and JS files to find color declarations.

Smart Grouping: Uses a nearest-color algorithm to remove duplicates and improve usability.

Editing & Exporting: Lets users refine palettes and download them in multiple formats (CSS, SCSS, design tools, etc.).

It’s powered by Puppeteer for web scraping, ColorThief for image analysis, and custom regex to extract code-based colors. The biggest challenge was handling messy websites—redirects, popups, cookie banners, and huge stylesheets all made this trickier than expected!

What’s Next

I’m working on:
A Chrome extension for one-click extraction.
Enhanced API features for developers.

Would love to hear your thoughts! What would make this more useful for you? Let me know what you think.
> doesn't it base64 it and save it with all the other yaml configs

It does! It's mountable in the filesystem though. In this case, the data key is the filename, and its un-base64'd data, the file contents.

> Even that seems a bit dirty though

As I mentioned in the previous comment, "Perhaps not the most elegant solution" :D

It's been maintenance-free for years though, and since its introduction there were 0 rollout-related 502s.
Show HN: Bookmarklet to save NotebookLM audio into a personal podcast
I've been listening to lots of audio overviews on Google's NotebookLM lately (having a baby strapped to you forces new media consumption habits..!) & got annoyed they weren't in my podcast app with all my other podcast-y content.

So I made a bookmarklet which works to upload the audio then converts it to MP3 and adds it to a private personal RSS feed which you can add to any podcast app with a click or by pasting the URL.

The bookmarklet's javascript obviously, the backend uses Python in Cloud Run for conversion then Laravel with Livewire for the UX, hosted on GCP, and Paddle for subs (but is free to try)

Would love any feedback.

I prefer to set these kind of constraints on my device and for the hours that work for me. This way I can even pick different hours on different days or not pick hours at all and constrain the time, or do something else. Also, social media platforms are already pretty good for async communication.

I think the demo gif isn't very good, because it doesn't illustrate what this tool can be actually useful for. Or do I just lack imagination?
Actually resizing PVC depends on the CSI drive. Some support easy resizing, some require the volume to be detached. You can double check your CSI driver and might just need to patch your storage class.

Agreed running databases without operators that can handle replication, master promotion backups and PIT restore is super scary. Most of the modern operators support all of these operations.

Well sure, but if that is the attitude they're not going to bother hiring good pollsters. Pollsters are going to do what, come back and explain that the Devil himself is outpolling your campaign. Now what? They were already catastrophising as hard as they could and the entire English speaking world knows how the US Dems feel about Trump. A majority (although admittedly a slim one) of voters just don't believe them.

Good pollsters would have been a waste of money in that environment and I'm sure the Harris campaign was judiciously watching their budget.
Very clearly written article - didn't feel like they were trying to sell you their viewpoint - just laid down the facts concisely.
A lot of publicly available websdr's have a limited frequency range due to the hardware used, or political reasons, I wound up buying a limesdr myself because nobody nearby has the ranges I want.
