We visited a manufacturing / assembly plats for industrial vehicles in Sweden during the autumn. Everything was spotless, bright, and almost silent. All the tools were neatly organised in overhead ergonomic hangers, reducing the stress on the workers. It looked like a great place to work, nor akin to an office than a dirty grimy workshop.

On the other hand, I visited a Canadian plant and the difference was stark. There was hardly any lighting, the floor was black with dirt, and the noise was unbearable. This was a small supplier about 10 years ago, so take it with a pinch of salt.

There is interesting effects from group dynamics and having a sense of purpose that can help people reintegrate into society. But the work environment has to be prioritised to make it easier on the workers. If the work place looks and acts like a prison camp, you are not going to get those benefits.

The point is that clean factories do exist, and manufacturing can be a good place to work. But it needs some work to make it so.
Seems like it could be explained by different types of work being offered to women vs. men. People hiring for service positions may favour women, and for technical positions may favour men. One of these types of position tends to involve more talking
A fair chunk of the energy spend goes to multinationals and ultimately sovereign wealth funds. The housing goes to rentiers: banks for the most part, but also landlords and other investment entities that are living nicely off the income without having to do very much - parasites in other words.
At this point he gives no fucks about what anyone thinks because the plan is to consolidate the oligarchic power to its maximum, russia style. Winning the hearts and minds is not and never was a part of his plan. And the sad thing is that they will probably succeed.

I have no idea why you Americans are so naive about someone who staged a putsch to give up power voluntarily now that he's got it. You will be a russia style full on kleptocracy by the time he's done with you. And then his heirs will lord over you for generations (unless one of them fucks something up). Godspeed.
> giving blunt responses (like China just did and put tariffs on everything)

It's incorrect to describe their response as "blunt". As someone who follows mainland Chinese media I can assure you that their policymakers have thoroughly prepared themselves for years. They even foresaw in 2021, after Biden took office, that Trump would become President again, unless he was assassinated. (Yes, they foresaw the assassination attempts as well; and no, they did not orchestrate these attempts -- if they did, Trump would be dead already.)

The Chinese have much more foresight than you seemingly give them credit for, unless I'm misinterpreting your words (in which case I apologise). On the other hand, European leaders have been extremely geopolitically infantile.
The funny part is that China yesterday imposed a 34% tariff on US imports.

The “reciprocal” formula does not even consider this. China can impose a 1000% tariff and the formula will not move :facepalm:
A fair few kings also got their heads chopped off due to getting too unpopular with the masses.

I don’t think can attribute the actions of Trump to intelligence or cunning.
Kokoro is missing a lot of relevant languages.
I feel the same way!

I also have a small startup, and making posts for social media is very hard for me. I use Canva too, but it takes so long, and I don’t enjoy doing it. I like it when people see my posts, but I don’t like the work of making them.

Your tool sounds really helpful. I like that it learns from your website and makes the pictures and words for you. That saves a lot of time!

I have some questions: What kind of people use it the most? Small shops? Coaches? Builders? And can I connect it to tools like Notion or Trello to plan my work better?

It’s so cool how you took something hard and turned it into something that helps people. I want to try MarketyAI soon!
Anyone know how this compares to caprover?
Any time one party focuses their attention on one thing, the other will generally greatly oppose it.

Republicans weren't the antivaxxers - that was largely hippie type democrats - prior to 2020, and weren't really even until the government mandates, just to give one example. Hell, it isn't even an idea but look what happened to Elon Musk. Liberals loved him until he started publicly sharing some conservative ideas, which made them waffle a bit, and now they absolutely loathe him.

This is going to sound like peak HN head-up-own-assery, but I've come to realize that 90% of the population has basically no capacity for nuance, at least politically.
The idea of "smooth space" being gone is kinda haunting. Everything's mapped, monetized, reviewed on TripAdvisor. There's very little true unknown left to stumble into
> Never change the original language of any text. Keep Korean in Korean, Japanese in Japanese, and English in English.

I love the double prompting to keep GPT from translating the text. I've definitely had this problem before, and spent ages trying to prompt it into not randomly translating the text.
If the shirt costs $10 in labor, and the pre-tariff wholesale price is also $10, how does the manufacturer make a profit? Surely the wholesale price would at least include some markup for profit? So like $10 labor + $3 markup (per employee-day) + $10 tariff ($23) contrasted with $15 labor + $3 markup + $4 tariff ($22), in your scenario.

But now you see that the low wage manufacturer has a third option, $10 labor + $1 markup + 10 tariff ($21), which would maintain their competitive advantage and in this scenario only cut their daily per employee profit by $2, as opposed to the $5 hit they would suffer by raising their employee wages to $15 day from $10.
> Who would stop that abduction from happening with force? What if the men doing that are police officers? What if they go after your family the day after?

Now you understand why the Black Panthers arose: the black community realized that it needed to arm itself to protect against the oppressive power of the state. It could be argued that modern infringements on the Second Amendment are largely a reaction of the government in response to a minority community resisting law enforcement tyranny.

I can't even count how many times I've read anti-2A arguments on HN...people laughed at the idea that people should need to arm themselves against their own government. Well......now everyone can see how quickly state power can turn malevolent, and why the Right to Bear Arms matters.
Zonos and Fish Audio are two other new options.
Are you saying Trump has to be popular to stay in power?
I disagree on Russia. If that tariff madness goes on for more than a few months Russia is dead. Russia's economy is already completely unsustainable and on the brink. Brent is currently traded at 66USD and if oil prices fall a bit more and stay there that's it for Russia.

It will be fascinating to see what is going to happen with that purely mercenary army recruited from the poor when the money is worth nothing any more.
Sorry, what benefit are we supposed to derive from the GPTslop wall-of-text?
Choosing the Right Implementation between ArrayList and LinkedList
Actually, even there there would be caveats. E.g. maybe Russia would benefit from climate change? Maybe the cost benefit curve with my time discounting and likely tech advancement means its not worth doing anything about now?
It would be handy if this could work in markdown, but there’s no standard, I imagine it’s possible somehow dependent on the markdown parser.
> Switching everyone to BEVs would require a massive investment in infrastructure.

God forbid? Why is this phrased like a bad thing. We should be investing in infrastructure. Any country with a modicum of common sense invests in the basic functioning of that country going forward?
That is why it is very common for vacations (of people who stays at Four Seasons) to start or end a business trips: I am already there, might as well get my family to join and try some new foods.
The answer is boring — massive corruption: the country has been making very good money by selling oil and gas to the West (along with some other things like uranium and coal), but most of it goes to vanity projects like building out Astana (hiring famous - and thus expensive - architects from around the world) and buying luxury real estate for the ruling elite in places like London and Dubai.

There's also the brain drain: since 1991, there's been a massive emigration to Russia of all places, which has slowed down a bit since 2022, but it's still going on — we have a negative migration balance with them. That in itself is quite telling.
calls for 3 months out only make sense once the stock price is decimated, and there's no certainty that prices will recover given the bumbling antics of this administration.
1930's Gulags, in other words. The productivity of the unwilling and unskilled workforce, as well as the quality of their output, has been horrendous. The only thing the camps were good at were rapidly reducing the numbers of "undesirables".
Maybe. I’m 35 now and any time I participate in any kind of catered tourism
it turns my stomach. Maybe I was just spoiled on it by reading ‘A Supposedly Fun Thing I’ll Never Do Again’. Maybe I’ve worked too many service jobs. But regardless, I just can’t put out of my mind how little business I have being there other than that I have some cash to burn. Paying for hospitality is about as appealing as paying for sex. In my mind if I don’t have a single friend who can host me in a city, I just don’t have a reason to go.

Then again I already live in a beautiful place and I’ve always been great at being a tourist in my own city. Ask me again in 10 years and maybe I’ll have your outlook.
Native American genocide - the same thing happened everywhere, for all of history, except we at least gave them reservations instead of killing literally everyone.
The transatlantic slave trade - one country among many involved.
Chattel slavery - also the country that fought itself to end it.

I could easily go on.

You're looking at the world with very..uh, anti red white and blue glasses.
Sorry, I'm not sure I understand your point. Are you complaining because it has a leading -f instead of a different spelling?
I’m wondering the same thing. Docker Container Registry maybe?
Maybe just explain what it is instead of avoiding my point?

Those who defend Israeli colonialism actually increase anti-semitism in the world and no amount of intentional conflation of Judaism and Zionism will erase that. Maybe you'll realize that one day.
European streets? My American city isn't even that old - much of the infrastructure is mid 90s - but modern vehicles just barely fit in the parking lots throughout it. It's common to see some asshole parking their pickup horizontally.
There's a similar idea about energy transitions: ostensibly human kind has transitioned from wood to coal to petrol to nuclear etc. Given time we'll have transitioned to renewables for all our energy needs...

In fact what happened is those energy sources kept being piled on top of one another. Today we consume more wood coal and fossils than ever before. [1]

The UK games industry has a class problem
And for a computer like the one here, even having hot-plug is an unnecessary luxury.
> I hate "artificially low" why artificial? What makes something artificial and what makes it real?

When people have cheap access to money, they spend it. When they spend it in such a manner that it outpaces the ability of the supply side to, well, supply, the result is inflation. And that's what we saw in '21 and '22. You had someone handing out PPP loans like candy and forgiving them outright, you had stimmy checks (that weren't backed by anything real, but that's another story), you had people sitting around looking for stuff to pass lockdown with, etc.

So at that point, by definition, we're lower than the "natural" interest rate. This showed that a lot of businesses in the tech industry couldn't survive without dirt-cheap money to give them ever-increasing amounts of runway. You can't just hyper scale like Uber when borrowers expect the rate of return dictated by the now-higher "natural" interest rate.

> No data backing this up.

Besides decades of economic, social, environmental, and political events and trends, you're right. Wanna have a bottle of water from Flint, MI? I can pull one out of the cellar. 2015, a fine year.

> OC talking about media calling them 'flyover country' as if it matters / is somehow out of bounds conduct at all.

1) that's not indicative of the stuff you were charging
2) yeah, it is out-of-bounds conduct. It's an a-hole move to belittle poorer regions in your country, whether explicitly or in more tacit ways. If you do it long enough, you get where we are now. Anyone happy about that?
I cannot confirm that. When I was younger I liked traveling to far countries like the US, Australia, New Zealand (living in Europe) To the US I would no longer travel for political reasons, and generally I try not to fly anymore when not necessary to visit relatives. So I travel by Interrail (called Eurail for those outside of Europe) and even there often with a focus on slower trains. At 60 it was the first occasion I got a senior citizen reduction in my life. Even that was a new experience :) And slower trains allow many kinds of new experiences, from the co-passengers and from the places they stop at.
I have always despised travel, possibly as a result of being moved around a lot as a child.

I do not care for a single facet of it. Not the planning, or the reservations, of the attaining of paperwork. Packing or parking. Checking maps to see where my terminal might be. Pre-flight fondling by total strangers. Getting on a plane. Being on a plane. Getting off of a plane. Trying to find my way to wherever it is I am supposed to go, which I know in theory but must now execute. I also have a mild handicap which can make navigating some situations more difficult than it would otherwise be for someone normal. Seeing just kind of torture the word "breakfast" has undergone to appear in the hotel at morning.

Then there is the thing itself, whatever it is you are supposed to be seeing. Chances are, you won't even be able to get close to it. Apparently, you get to look at the Mona Lisa from something of a distance, and now less than a minute. Oooh. Then you should get a laminated card that says "Some photons bounced off of the Mona Lisa and were absorbed by my retina" so you can tell everyone.

And you're trapped wherever it is until your ticket home is valid.

Even if someone else is paying for it, I just have zero interest. Unfortunately, some friends have gotten into cruises and traveling, which leads to frequent exhortation that I, too, should travel, no matter how much I demur. Being pushed for travel was also an irritant at a previous job.

They say, "Well, think of all of the strange foods and new restaurants!" I spend more time at the international markets than most and, honestly, this city has plenty of restaurants I have yet to try, so if that were a motivating factor, I hardly need a plane ticket and itinerary to partake.

The furthest I have gone is about three hundred miles to take a close friend (he had a very terrible year of one disaster after another occur to him) to a concert to cheer him up.
I tried putting a few of GP's multilingual paragraphs into google translate on detect mode, and it got everything into English perfectly! Interestingly, it declares a single language as having been detected, which varies perhaps based on majority input language.
This exact situation is there in Java, using compiler args, after lambda functions were introduced. Older compilers would not be able to handle it, and the newer compilers would not break backward compatibility.
I don't define punk, punk is the absence of definition.
There is a clear pattern to the madness. First make up something unsubstantiated by fact. Two declare it a crisis that requires acting without congress and circumventing existing laws. Three destroy something that will take generations to repair, if it can be repaired. Four repeat with something else so quickly that people forget the last few things destroyed.
Dollar stores are the stores that sell the absolute cheapest versions of products. Usually low to very low quality, but when you're tight on money, it's where you go. If we enter a recession or depression, those type of cheap stores are going to get a lot more shoppers as folks try to tighten their belts.
Must feel good to be great again.
I don't think the positions have reversed as much as you're thinking. Trump began this round of trade wars with a series of indefensible attacks on free trade with Canada, which is clearly good for American workers and has never been unpopular in the US. If Trump had done everything else he's doing here, but used a sensible formula and avoided pointlessly antagonizing Canada, you would see significant crossover support from the left.
I don't, but, I mean, when someone comes and takes some of your money, then it means you had a fixed term on owning that amount, which just came to an end.

"Stuff taken away" is "stuff taken away", no matter what angle we take.
So, europe trying to switch away from windows is not a problem ?
Excellent article, thanks. At the risk of missing the forest for the trees, I wonder how much simpler things would have been if you had been slightly flexible on the 8-pin requirement. It seems as though having just a few more pins would have reduced the complexity of the project significantly while only marginally increasing the time it takes to solder.
Jeez I lookex that one up and learned something new.
Because the organization of your struct is exactly how the memory have to be organized and that might be important for you. The compiler doesn't know your intended usage so it can't rework the structure at its will.

For example, you might take the block of memory and data and send it to another system that will decode it. Or you can take the block of memory and store it in a file or in a hardware device where it means something in this specific order.
Step 1: manufacture a crisis

Step 2: become an emergency dictator "for the duration of the crisis"

Step 3: make sure the crisis never goes away, but it's not so bad that people would revolt

It's basically dictatorship 101. In this case the US happens to be the center of global economy, so a crisis in the US also causes a crisis elsewhere, but that's an irrelevant side effect. The only question is whether Americans will realize what's going on before it's too late.
After The Cat passed, I found a book under her bed entitled "Electronics for Cats". I wonder what she had been plotting.
> To lay out my own biases

> - I voted for Trump

What will it take for you to regret doing so?
The Rust Belt's just one part of the story, not the whole US economy. Globalization actually created tons of wealth for the USA, but that money hasn't been spread around fairly. It's all piled up in coastal cities and with rich folks while factory towns got left behind.
Cutting off global trade wouldn't fix anything - it would tank the overall economy while only helping a few powerful players pulling the strings. The real problem isn't trade deals; it's that the USA never properly invested the profits back into the communities that got hit hardest.
It would be no challenge at all then. And no fun. There are plenty much faster chips with USB built-in

Hell, allwinner v3s is hand solderable and has built in RAM and will happily boot Linux natively

Rp2350 would also be an excellent choice. It has a very good QSPI ram interface with cache built-in and usb support.
I mean, harmonically rich as in, run a spectrum analyzer and see all the harmonics. Not harmonically rich, like hard-to-analyze complex scales and chords.
How is it not related?

Because Python is “strong typed” vs “weak typed” for Tcl?

$ tclsh8.6
% expr 1 + 2
3
% expr 3 + “hey there”
invalid bareword “hey”
in expression “1 + hey there”;
should be “$hey” or “{hey}” or “hey(…)” or …

vs.

$ python3.11
>>> 1 + 2
3
>>> 1 + “hey there”
Traceback (most recent call last):
File “<stdin>”, line 1, in <module>
TypeError: unsupported operand type(s) for +: ‘int’ and ‘str’

I don’t really see a difference. Both checked types at runtime. Clearly Tcl can check types at runtime, even though it represents everything as a string. Whether all commands do so is another story. But, not all functions in Python check types before trying to do things that don’t make sense, either. So…
It’s very hard to do tags in the physical world. You need to stick different colored post-its to things and do a full table scan (with your eyes) any time you want to process all docs of one tag. Or you cluster things together depending on similar colors.

Hierarchy is easy in the physical world.

But what is crazy is since the dawn of computing we can store data however we want and project it however we want…and yet we still use hierarchy for file storage…like we still just have a filing cabinet of manilla folders.
> People aren’t able to save because their money is spent on housing and energy

----

> Housing and energy could both be dirt cheap and the money would still go to rich people.

----

So the working class is being forced to give the wealthy all of their money. On prices set by the wealthy and coupled with policies encouraged by the wealth. And if the wealthy just stopped being so greedy and took a small hit, everything would be fine. And the wealthy aren't the problem?
I’m completely with you on the forced but. Sometimes it feels like there’s a massive societal push to travel. Yet overall discoveresque time spending is looked down upon. Sorry, nowadays I learn more about the world in my tiny garden than traveling again to see the same patterns over and over. Yet people don’t seem to be excited about my gardening stories and pictures :D
