Where are you going to build them?
The US doesn't have sufficient supply of manufacturing skills to do this. Maybe Framework could, but there isn't capacity for most manufacturing of products to move to US assembly. You also can't underestimate the difficulty of that training, it's not just training the workers doing the final assembly, it's the entire org chart being built around manufacturing. China and Taiwan (for consumer electronics) have decades of recent experience in doing this and have highly optimised processes, the US has never had these skills at the volume that Asia does currently, and the last time it was remotely close was decades ago.

If the US decided that the 20-year priority was to be great at manufacturing then sure, it could probably get back to being world-class at this, but there's a reason why countries typically progress out of being manufacturing economies into being service economies – it's just a worse business to be in.

I was in Mexico City recently, and boy did I hate rummaging around for cash to make payments. True, many places accept credit cards, but that seems like an unnecessary tax on the merchant (credit cards charge nearly 3% in fees).

A system like Pix (or UPI from India) would be a godsend for Mexico. However, any such system should have support for tourists (non-residents visiting the country briefly).
Show HN: Audio2anki – Use Whisper to turn YouTube vids into listening practice
This is a hopefully somewhat straightforward Python script I wrote which chains a few tools together to generate Anki flashcards for listening practice. I figured it may be helpful for anyone else currently trying to square the circle of how to practice listening with spaced repetition in a way that is as scalable as reading or writing.
Podman uses Dockerfiles too.

Dockerfiles is the language for specifying a set of instructions for building container images.

I've built a number of systems that run a database and a separate search index (Elasticsearch, Solr, Xapian). The hardest part by far is keeping the search index in sync with the database. I gave a talk about this a while ago: https://simonwillison.net/2017/Aug/16/denormalized-query-eng...

Using the search engine built into PostgreSQL, MySQL or SQLite makes this problem SO MUCH less difficult.

Noticed it uses HTML5 canvas to render data by default. To screen readers, am I correct in understanding that this is equally accessible as when people share screenshots of text?

There is an SVG option that looks identical but it doesn't say when you're supposed to use that, or why canvas exists (and is the default) if SVG would work equally well. Then again, setting an example chart to use SVG rendering (I was looking at the basic scatter plot functionality, since I use that most often), I can't seem to tab or otherwise navigate through the data points, so it may just be impossible to get the data read out to you like "first data point, year 2006 students 25 939" (if the axes were labeled "year" and "students", for example; they're not labeled in the example but it could still read out the positions of the points)
Yeah, instead we should just print money and hang that debt around our kids and grandkids necks, all while further deindustrializing. That's a bold strategy breadwinner, let's see how it plays out for your grandkids in the long term. "Wealth" isn't the only metric of a strength of a nation, especially when you can just literally print money. You kinda _have to_ also make stuff. Selling $1 Chinese chotchkes for $5 is not a long term viable economic model for a superpower.

#2 is basically the whole justification for the military industrial complex. Why do you think so many tax dollars go to the big ominous "military spending" bucket? It's not going into some black whole, it props up hundreds of thousands of manufacturing and R&D jobs. Even then, it doesn't justify blanket tariffs on entire countries, it would justify tariffs on specific industries that are seen as strategic, which is not what's happening.

Tariffs are good. If you have a nice mall, and you allow street vendors to walk through it selling junk, eventually the mall becomes trashy and there's no benefit to paying the rent for a proper storefront.
"Not clear" doesn't mean "won't be done", and the headline misstates reality (all of the staff aren't actually being terminated) which makes me doubt the objectivity of the entire piece.

A simple consolidation of program offices doesn't seem like the worst idea in the world and it (along with other relatively benign scenarios) fit with what's been observed.
Also, if most countries continue to trade freely with each other but there are import/export taxes on just the U.S., the U.S. becomes an unattractive place for any products with international supply chains or that are amortized across an international market, both in terms of manufacture and sales.

There was a good post here the other day on bicycle manufacturing that pointed out that, while cheap, high volume, low-end products may indeed be practical to manufacture in the U.S. primarily for the U.S. market, it may not make sense to manufacture many high-end products behind trade barriers. Such products have low margins and need free access to the world market to make sense to build. Those that are currently manufactured outside the U.S. will likely stay outside the U.S. while those made in the U.S. may have to consider moving. Some will likely just no longer make sense to import into the U.S., leaving a void in that market, and some won't make sense to build at all.

Breaking the world market up into regions, as the U.S. is currently attempting, reduces the world's ability to make specialized, low-volume products.

> There are two arguments in favor of free trade

You missed the single most common argument in favor of free trade:

1. Everyone has more stuff than otherwise.

Under free trade, total world production is higher.
Humans have five distinct "visual cortexes" in the brain that process input from the eyes. There's two layers to the system and they provide outputs to various parts of the brain. Your blink and flinch response is highly sensitive to some of these outputs.

Birds have two. One feeds the other. Their field of view for binocular vision is often not large. They completely lack the power to "fill in" details of occluded objects the way that we can. Which is the true power of our vision outside of pure pattern recognition used to find sources of food.
Maybe, but I doubt it. Transformer models got all that investment because small transformers work and large transformers work better than small transformer models. We can extend the line and predict what happens when the model is scaled.

Small Cyc doesn't do anything useful. Large Cyc doesn't do anything useful. Why should we make huge Cyc? If we extend the line out, all evidence predicts that it'll still be useless.

I remember most banks having it when it first came out, I used it a couple of times to pay friends but few people knew about it.

It was pretty simple and worked well, especially compared to having to give bank account details.

That being said, I am in Australia now which has a similar system and I'd say 95% of my friends just give me the bank details instead of saying 'just use PayId with my phone number'.

> Most VPCs (also AWS) don’t currently support "true" IPv6 scaleout behavior.

Thats a shame.

> if IPs were truly immutable and unique per workload, attribution becomes trivial

I would like to see that. IPAM for multi-tenant workloads always felt like a kludge. You need the network to understand how to route to a workloads, but the network when running on ipv4 has many more workloads than addresses. If you assign immutable addresses per workload (or say it takes you a month to chew through your ipv6 address space) it makes it so the network natively knows how to route to workloads without the need to kludge with IP reassignments.

I have had to deal with IP address pools being exhausted due to high pod churn in EC2 a number of times and it is always a pain.
My main concern is that de-globalizing trade will remove a large barrier for real kinetic war. Bombing your economic partner is generally a dumb move, and that has been pretty nice for humanity in the last ~50 years.
Depends largely on what you need to grow your company, in terms of the supply chain and whatnot. I suppose there are indirect costs as well, in terms of the stuff you need to buy and how those things have been influenced by these stellar economic choices made by the geniuses that be.

I would say wait for things to level-out before pursuing capital. Everything has gone to shit for the time being.

I don't understand the willingness of the masses to willingly give governments complete access to all of their transaction data. At least in the U.S. bank transactions are feebly masked by institutions. I have no doubt the government gets bank transaction data, but with Pix, it's just making it even easier to monitor what you're doing. Is it that the transparency makes it feel good? No middleman selling it or giving the facade of private transactions?

I do not see how this is better than cryptocurrency, which, while not fully anonymous aside from Monero, is at least decentralized.
This will be how he gets rid of political enemies.

If you think that's hyperbole, ask yourself whether you really, truly believed back in January that people were going to be seized off the street and deported to a movie-villain super prison in El Salvador, and taht the administration would admit it deported people in error and then shrug and say it had no way of retrieving them.

Tariffs don't do anything to prevent street vendors from selling junk; there is plenty of domestically-made junk to be sold. They only serve to hinder outside vendors from competing against that junk with either cheaper junk or better not-junk (Framework in this case being the latter).

The administration's record to date with respect to USAID, CDC, NIH, and Dept of Ed, suggests a vanishingly low probability of any "relatively benign scenarios".

Based on past actions I think the appropriate Bayesian prior for pretty much all such public health efforts is now "they've intentionally broken it" until proven otherwise. I'm happy to update my prior if evidence to the contrary comes to light.

I will use search as part of any research based learning so long as it remains a functional option. So long as there's some chance of the AI giving incorrect data where precision is necessitated to learn the fact, I will remain leary and manually search those specific areas later on. At the very least.

Operator words still do work in google, albeit less so than in the past - they still do the job.

I see the AI as being there to do the major leg work. But the devil's in the details and we can't simply take their word that something is fact without scrutinizing the data.

You can do that in git. `git mv` stores a hint in the commit that a file has been moved.

This seems like a really cool project.

Some observations...

First I'd get some legal advice for how to convert this idea / product into a thing that you own and have a stake in, but that's distinct from you. This means you'd be able to collect money and attribute that money to the product, you'd be able to sell it to someone else and walk away from it, etc. This legal construct is important; probably not _necessary_ but very useful.

You seem to have a reasonable community contributing to and using the project; that's your most valuable asset. Make up a brief roadmap of where you'd like to take the project in six and eighteen months, share that with the community. Think about how some projects, like Elastic.co, grew based on community feedback and how ultimately perhaps those companies felt they needed to change the company in ways that many in the original community disagreed with. There are lots of sides to that coin, and you as the founder need to think about how you'd want to develop the product.

Lastly, once you've got a clear accounting mechanism of how to track money from it and costs of it, you should just .... start asking people for money. "How much is a support contract worth for this?" "How much is it worth to you to focus on developing this feature instead of that?" Obviously -- be very cautious if people are offering money in exchange for fractional ownership of "the thing" but even that may be palatable... but make sure you've had someone representing your interests read the contract...
LOL these are all garbage suggestions. What we really want is no new changes to the UX, but rather a focus on performance and tightening down system services to ensure less CPU and RAM utilization in addition to bug fixing.

> What's even worse, since BankID is private, there's no individual right to get it

Nothing stops people from making it a right.

Brazilians have that right. Everyone can get a free checking account with transfers and Pix at every bank. They still try to sell us "service packages" but the idea of paying a fractional reserve bank any amount of money is just stupid if not abusive. They should be paying us for the privilege of having our money deposited into their reserves, not the other way around.
>> I've been getting the same thing at my company. Honestly no idea what is driving it other than hype.

This particular hype is the easiest one thus far for an MBA to understand because employing it is the closest thing to a Ford assembly line[0] the software industry has made available yet.

Since the majority of management training centers on early 20th century manufacturing concepts, people taught same believe "increasing production output" is a resource problem, not an understanding problem. Hence the allure of "generative AI can cut delivery times without increasing labor costs."

Kind of a tangent but I have some friends that are kurdish and that's how they transfer money to and fro the US and skirting whatever limits/regulations exist.

I don't think that's a big part of it, although it may be included.

In general, the models lean towards being Yes-Men on just about every topic, including things without official sources. I think this is a byproduct of them being trained to be friendly and agreeable. Nobody wants a product that's rude or contrarian, and this puts a huge finger on the scale. I imagine an a model unfiltered for safety and attitude and political correctness would have less of this bias (but perhaps more of other biases)
