Let me say from the start that I only saw Framework laptops in pictures and I still have my old Lenovo X60 Tablet.

I hate Framework laptops' design. They went to the extreme of repairability but only as a marketing tool, while the products are still e-waste trash.

I looked at Framework 13 laptop as a replacement for my X60 Tablet. Let me do a comparison between them:

- FW13 battery swap needs dissasembly. Can't do it while on a train/bus/airplane.
- X60 battery is removed by 2 spring latches on the back

- FW13 has 2 internal expansion ports (M.2, I think), both permanently occupied by storage and wifi
- X60 has 2 internal expansion ports (miniPCIe): one is occupied by wifi, one is for WWAN (optional). Storage is in a separate SATA bay.

- FW13 has no external expansion slots, except if you count USB as expansion
- X60 has 1 external expansion (PCMCIA/Cardbus type 2) - far more robust than USB-C, and the metal case provides cooling

- FW13 has 4 USB-C ports, one is permanently occupied by the power cable
- X60 has 3 USB-A ports (far more robust than USB-C), while charging is a separate barrel plug (also far more robust than USB-C)

- FW13 has no video output, except as a USB adapter
- X60 has VGA-out directly from the GPU

- FW13 has no audio outputs, except as USB sound card
- X60 has preamplified headphone-out and mic-in (also has internal microphone)

- FW13 has video camera
- X60 does not

- FW13 has stereo speakers
- X60 has a single mono speaker

- FW13 has no ethernet, except as a USB adapter
- X60 has gigabit ethernet

Other things X60T has, but FW13 doesn't:
- Touchscreen with pen, some models work with finger too, some don't
- great keyboard and also some extra hardware buttons such as volume, instead of key combinations
- Fingerprint reader
- SD card slot
- Firewire
- IR port, fax/modem (not much use these days)
- An attachable dock (not wired like current USB docks) that can house a CD/DVD drive, or another HDD/SDD, or extra battery and has another 2 USB ports, RS232 and parallel port.
- There's also an external battery module that directly connects to the docking port.

Please note that the X60 is ~15 years old. This wasn't a performance comparison.

So, yes, framework laptops are repaireable, but they're so crippled, there isn't much left in them to repair.
The tariff’s aren’t entirely based on the trade deficit. Vietnam artificially keeps its currency undervalued to boost exports.

Trade with other nations?

These are exports to the US, which is 25% of the world’s GDP.

Who is going to replace that demand?

You think Vietnam, where 30% of GDP are US exports, is going to be hurt less than the US where Vietnam makes up 3.9% of imports?
There is nothing that can be done beyond what they are doing?

You can receive their public keys out-of-band through an https-authenticated connection. Which means their approach to "the initial trust problem" is _not_ "trust on first use".

> The Chinese car tariff in particular feels like German automotive lobbying

That’s interesting because German car makers actually lobbied _against_ those tariffs fearing retaliatory tariffs.

They do way less then that. They just form a final list of locks and download that at the build time. Of course you have to also "recursively" go though all your dep tree and add submodules for each of subdependencies (recommend to add them in the main repo). Then you will have do waste infinite amount of time setting include dirs or something. If you have two libs that require a specific version of a shared lib, no dep manager would help you. Using submodules is questionable practice though. Useful for simple stuff, like 10 deps in total in the final project.
While the GUI is somewhat helpful, at the end of the day it's not the key piece, and it could easily be rebuilt.
To be fair, I've rarely seen a group fighting itself more than the progressive left. If tribalism truly exists, it exists mostly on the right.
Why do wealthy Americans only live as long as poor people in Western Europe?
but it's not easy to come by large amounts of Philippine pesos in Russia, cause no-one wants to hold significant amount of foreign currency they can't use for anything else. In some cases it may even be legally problematic.

That's why international trade uses "strong" currencies, which are very liquid: you can generally get USD/EUR and then trade them for anything else with a limited spread. Good luck converting Hungarian forints to Lao kips.

Being cut off from USD is why news of Russia resorting to barter[0][1] have occurred in the news since they got cut off from the US trading system

Don't forget that you first have to build the factories and somehow resuscitate the knowledge that died a few generations ago. A factory isn't just a big warehouse full of low skilled people, you need machines we don't have anymore, processes we lost, &c.
I am very glad to hear the positive tone of discourse happening under your thread. I've been arguing for regulation for the software "engineering" "profession" for over a decade now, and am usually met with dramatic recoil.

You don't need to write pacemaker firmware to produce severely negative outcomes through ineptitude or indifference. I know of a frontend developer whose UX mistake in a financial mobile app triggered a vulnerable customer to end their life. I've heard stories of people ending up in the hospital because of unmet, unvoiced requirements for tasks delegated to junior developers.

It's a strange world we live in where the "profession" with the most (usually unrealized) potential has no oversight.

Bob Martin said it best: We either regulate ourselves or we will find ourselves regulated.
Using AI with Wiki content will eventually be seen as bad as vandalizing Wikis. The Wikimedia commons has over 100 million files, and most of them will not be seen by humans but instead be just scraped by AI bots which drains donors funds and wastes bandwidth and puts stresses on cpu and hard drive resources. If I ran Wikimedia I would enforce a strict human generated content and human access only policy to protect the project.
No, I think that's just a republican boogie-man.

I think democrats started out with good intentions, helping enfranchise black voters a part of the civil rights act .... but somehow they have made it their morality point and refuse to accept that it is no longer fit for purpose.

They should made no voter-ID a temporary measure and created proper voter-IS systems in the meanwhile.
You are right that you don't take part in tribalism, because you first have a value structure and then you looked critically at the political landscape and found where you have the largest overlap.

But tribalism is absolutely an issue in the modern age with huge swathes of population falling into social media echo chambers. People first find their tribe, and then they define their own personality by the views of that tribe, not the other way around.

Just look at all the people spewing "own the libs" or "maga fucktards". A significant portion of the population doesn't vote based on rational analysis, but by being part of a crowd. They don't even care or know what they vote for, as long as they are sticking it to people they perceive as enemies.

I think this is basically the terminal/minimum of the modern social network algo optimization. Everything is maximally polarized, nobody is willing to engage in good faith discussion with people who hold different views. Everyone has a known enemy and known allies and they can be fed what they like to hear and thus continue being addicted.

I don't know how to get out of this :(
I don't, but we have a functioning citizen registration system; every voting eligible citizen gets sent a voting card when elections come up. That can only work if you're registered and have a known address. "Illegal aliens" don't have that, so they can't vote. Foreign nationals that are registered / stay here legally also don't get voting rights so they simply don't get the voting card mailed to them.

But also because of that registration, getting a kind of ID involves making an appointment at the county house, filling in a form and handing over a recent portrait photo. It's a bit of a hassle but nothing extreme.

Because it needs to be that long to have a low air resistance. There are two determining factors for air resistance. First, the cross section A, which determines the amount of air to be moved and second the drag coefficient c, which describes how well the air flows around an object. This gets lower the more "round" a shape is, but the sphere isn't actually the best one, you want the form of a falling raindrop. For that the shape needs to be quite a bit longer than it is wide. So if your car is e.g. 2m across, it needs to be something like 4m long to approach best efficiency. See also the empty "tails" attached to some racing cars for drag reduction.

This is basically the Kim Jong-Un approach to foreign policy:

Kim: threaten a nuclear war, see if people will pay you to stop

Trump: threaten to crash the world economy, see if other countries will pay to stop you

He doesn't care that this will shrink the global economy, or even, at least in the short term, the US economy. If other countries submit in order to negotiate tariffs down then he has his "win" politically, if not then he has someone to blame.
I think that is (used to be) higher risk: Internal events could make the peso lose its value, but the dollar was pretty stable?

(Probably it'd be a pretty big fishing company, exporting to a far away nation like that. Not a single person in a small boat)

Edit: I suppose riffraff's sibling answer is better
That sounds fair. No ID means no way to check if she had already voted or even has the right to vote.
Services are ignored by Trump for precisely the reason you mention. The big question is: What will other countries do, like Germany, who tend to export goods to the U.S. but import services. Right now, those are the countries who would rather prevent this thing from escalating, but if escalation it must be and they run out of ammunition within the scope of tariffs on goods, where will they go next?
I wonder why those drivers are out of tree in the first place? They’re GPL-2.0, so I wonder what the motivation might be for Intel to keep them out of mainline Linux.
There are also centrist doctrines. Even explicit ones like the radical centrism.

A major problem is trying to project a hugely multifaceted phenomenon like political outlook into one, or even few, dimensions. And then even discretizing the one dimension. And then categorizing (other) people's thinking or ideologies into these.

Another problem is assuming that there is some universal "optimal" or even good policy. Instead there can be even fundamentally contradicting interests or goals between e.g., dare I say, classes which can lead to well informed

I'm not claiming you don't appreciate these, but the conclusions to me seem to require such problematic assumptions. The intent is likely something like trying to simplify complex phenomena into something manageable (i.e. an ideology), but these tend to be very leaky abstractions.
Possibly, but the thing I have repeatedly heard is "Trump is doing this because he promised it on the campaign trail". The things might be bad (e.g. some pardon didn't sound great) but I wouldn't describe him as not fulfilling anything. He seems to have made some very specific promises, and has kept at least some of them.

Maybe there's a website that keeps track somewhere.
A possible retaliation by the EU could be to not enforce US intellectual property rights in the EU anymore. Or we could start taxing cloud companies, who, until now, have not paid taxes in the EU for profits that they generate in the EU.
Similar with Kingdom Come: Deliverance, especially with the combat that requires you to try and point at a certain limb.

so - I annoy my cousins at times by flipping their phone cases just so they get confused when they pick their phone up.

Although I love the idea of a minimal UI, as someone with (a lot of) experience flipping phone cases, it just doesn't work. The cases are almost always built extremely intolerant of changes. When you flip them, the sides usually trigger either the volume or the power buttons because the spaces don't align. I've even had a Oneplus phone automatically go into recovery mode because of my shenanigans.

Upvoted regardless because I'd love a tolerant phone case for this application.

TLDR; interesting application of minimal displays - physically not convenient.
There have been rapid recent advances in robotics, both classical industrial robotics (advanced by rapid iteration with digital twins and simulation environments like Omniverse), and humanoid robotics (pushed forwards by Boston Dynamics, Figure and a lot of other recent entrants). So if we really do achieve AGI that would take over white collar jobs, manufacturing jobs will likely too be taken over very soon thereafter.
Even more radical: in Australia you turn up at one of many polling stations with no ID whatsoever and vote.

It works because voting in Australia is compulsory. They must have your name on their list, they cross if off it and hand over the ballot paper. The checks and balances you might expect and done after the event, making it fairly secure.

Only of those checks is you did vote, and a fine follows if you didn't.
I wonder which nations are truly "antifragile" to similar takeovers?

The U.S. seems especially vulnerable with its limiting two-party bias, among other factors.

I'd argue that the level of education of the general populace in (still) functioning democratic countries might be the prime mitigation factor.

Based on this, if I were placing bets on prediction markets, I'd wager that e.g. Finland would be among the last to succumb.

Arguing with leftists all the time is the sure sign that you're a leftist.

People trade in USD because the US is the largest of large economies. Everyone trading in USD understands already that the US can manipulate its own currency. But they take a low-risk bet that it probably would have far less incentive or inclination to do so than an authoritarian state like China or a small economy like Argentina. Capital flows to the US because the dollar has been "safe"... it inflates, but predictably slower. The Chinese regime is more than capable of opening the illusion of free markets and making 50-year promises not to interfere with free trade and capital, tempting foreign investment, only to break those promises with an iron fist.

Regardless of the response from China, America is showing that it is irrationally willing to cede its incredible advantage for no decipherable reason beyond that some logarithmic curve of population idiocy has crossed the already absurd hockey stick of its own national wealth. It's a realtime lesson in the ancient rule dating back to the fertile crescent, that civilizations destroy themselves from within before they're conquered from without.
Easily swappable components also increase resources consumption. We don't necessary want or need to be able to fix all the parts of our laptops or cars (or shoes!) at home, but we definitely want and need a local professional to be able to do so for a reasonable cost.
Optimal aerodynamic efficiency on a 4 wheel car still requires a narrower rear, with a corresponding shorter rear axle to make the rear wheels roll in the slipstream of the front wheels.
This can be seen on two of the most aerodynamic cars of all time, the GM EV1 and Mercedes EQXX.
There is no American hegemony in this current day and age. Probably dead like 15 years ago.

Say what you well regarding Trump, he understands this.

Trump is a smart man to spot problems, but he surely didn't know how to do it in a way that doesn't lead to self harm. He crazes for a bombastic firework that demands for all and any attention.

The US version of capitalistic economy has driven its internal inequality to the point the political system can no longer sustain it, while in the meantime, doesn't have an established social safe net, as major European countries have. So the populace elected Trump to root it up.

It is absurd, it is ridiculous, but deep down it is logical. Weird and dangerous time ahead.

AI theorized to have dropped a − sign in Trump tariff calculation
Obviously speculation, but—very interested to hear if HN thinks this might actually be the case, especially given the technical angle.

(The calculation also seems to be based purely on goods trade and excluding service industry, which includes the entire tech sector except hardware.)
"Pick up the basketball and slam-dunk it". The killer use-case we've been waiting on for so long :)
It's even worse, they literally got their formula from a llm model (probably Grok?) => https://bsky.app/profile/dansinker.com/post/3llunnyfeoj2v

"To calculate reciprocal tariffs, import and export data from the U.S. Census Bureau for 2024. Parameter values for ε and φ were selected. The price elasticity of import demand, ε, was set at 4.

Recent evidence suggests the elasticity is near 2 in the long run (Boehm et al., 2023), but estimates of the elasticity vary. To be conservative, studies that find higher elasticities near 3-4 were drawn on. The elasticity of import prices with respect to tariffs, φ, is 0.25."[0]

Because you can easily and cheaply convert USD to any other currency, and because it is the usual currency for international trade you can use it to pay someone else.

Suppose a British company imports tea from Sri Lanka and Kenya, blends and packages it, and exports it to retail chains in multiple countries. If all the buyers pay in the same currency used to pay the suppliers the British company does not have to convert more to GBP than required to meet its costs (and profits!) so loses less on converting currency at all. The usual currency used for this is USD.

So rather than:

customers currencies -> GBP -> suppliers currencies

we have customers currencies -> USD -> suppliers currencies.

Edit: I have not explained very well in the bit immediately above. The point is that the British company will not need to convert the currency at all as they will be paid in USD and will pay in USD. In most countries you get better rates converting to USD, and its easier to hedge this way. Even more so if there is a longer supply chain as then you get

A's currency -> B's currency -> C's currency to D's currency

vs

A's currency -> USD -> D's currency.

There are a few wrinkles on this in that customers may already have USD accounts, and suppliers might keep some money in USD, but obviously customers will be paid by their customers in their own currency, and will pay their staff and most other costs in their own currency.
One feature could be that it automatically fetches the papers that it refers to and also feeds them through the llm. And maybe apply that recursively. This could give the AI a better overview of the related literature.
This is their explicit platform. Trump's presidential campaign officially ran on the basis of "Agenda 47", which clearly sets out their goals and aims. It includes dismantling the basic structures of democracy (in the form of heavy expansion of executive powers), and reducing access to healthcare for women and LGBTQ people. We have already seen evidence of the above, as well as events like the new administration arresting protestors without due process.

I think your point is that Project 2025 is not Trump's explicit platform, which is correct (although this doesn't affect my statement which was about his explicit platform). However, if it looks, walks, and talks like a duck, we also need to be willing to call it a duck. Project 2025 goes significantly above and beyond Agenda 47, the group behind it explicitly endorse Trump, and many of Project 2025's authors are involved in the Trump administration. Being an "independent thinker" does not mean accepting what both sides say at face value, it means looking at people's behaviour and drawing judgements based on that.
I sometimes grin and say "it's a secret ballot" and how they react to that can be revealing.

In conclusion, Google selected 178 relatively easy issues out of their 80K BUG database and found out Gemini 1.5 was kind of good when dealing with machine-detected bugs.

> They will now build another factory in the us to be able to avoid tariffs and keep selling their goods at competitive prices

They won't be competitive prices though; they'll have to charge more because of the capital costs in setting up a whole new factory and supply chains, increased labour costs, and having to pay tariffs on importing parts.

I imagine that not being able to export cars from this factory due to reciprocal tarrifs will also drive up prices, due to things like lost flexibility, redundancy, and economies of scale.

> If trade stops occurring in US Dollar

If I understand Trump correctly he wants a weaker U.S dollar to make American exports more attractive. I'm not sure though he wants it to become THAT weak that its on longer the reserve currency.
However, simply abandoning the Dollar will prove quite difficult for many countries because there is no clear alternative (the Euro perhaps but it has a tiny market share currently) and also I'm certain Trump will threaten to remove American military support from anyone who dumps the Dollar - so Europe will probably stay, Australia, Canada, Saudi and quite a few more.
Supply chains still originate outside US.
