Without going line by line, I will say that you make all valid points and are correct.

But you are ignoring key trade competitiveness issues due to the way VAT and US tax system is structured. EU system incentivizes trade exports by making sure they leave the country tax free. US does not.

The disadvantage is not the VAT itself but lack of equivalent tax relief. The real fix is to tax policy but Trump’s only way to fix it right now is via executive action using tariffs. It’s sort of a blunt instrument but it can be effective for what he is trying to achieve.

If anyone wants to try this model on a Mac (it looks like they used something like DeepSeek-R1-Distill-Llama-8B) my new llm-mlx plugin can run it like this:

brew install llm # or pipx install llm or uv tool install llm
llm install llm-mlx
llm mlx download-model mlx-community/DeepSeek-R1-Distill-Llama-8B
llm -m mlx-community/DeepSeek-R1-Distill-Llama-8B 'poem about an otter'

It's pretty performant - I got 22 tokens/second running that just now: https://gist.github.com/simonw/dada46d027602d6e46ba9e4f48477...
> As for missing, the video I linked debunks that. 3 pointers are replacing long 2 pointers which also had a low percentage.

I'd much rather watch NBA players miss 3's than watch a 23 minute YouTube video of someone talking about missing 3's. ;-) But the NBA FG% in 2025 is 46.5%, while it was 49.1% in 1985, so I'm skeptical that 3 pointers are simply replacing long 2 pointers with equal percentages. Obviously the % would go down the farther you get from the basket.

> And in turn, the game has become less crowded and more spread out, leading to a higher percentage on dunks and layups

Crowding is not necessarily bad. A contested shot is interesting; an uncontested shot, not so much. Even uncontested dunks are less interesting than contested dunks.

This is hilarious. The US and Trump can continue down this path and force the EU to the table, and there’s precisely 0 anything anyone can do about it. No need to bother with any international bodies.
> Doesn’t that get back to if you got rid of marketing and let both the government negotiate drug prices (which it legally can’t do now) you could reduce prices and not spend less on research?

"Negotiate drug prices" is a monopsony buying from a monopoly. It's like divide by zero, there's no pricing mechanism there. This drug is already developed so if the government makes up a lowball price they have no real choice, but if the government offers them less then they cut research for new drugs because now it has a poor ROI. It's effectively price controls and government officials using a ouija board to make up drug prices when what you actually want is some kind of market to determine how much it's worth to people in order to supply that much incentive for developing drugs like that.

And a lot of countries do use price controls because then they still get the drug as long as the US market is picking up the tab to fund the R&D. But that doesn't work if everybody does it, so now the problem is the tragedy of the commons. The US is being cheated into shouldering the burden for the whole world, but if they stop without everyone else starting to pay their share then the research funding collapses, so what do you want to do?
Fair. I wanted to compare the German and UK thresholds more generally (the German threshold seems very low to me even for labour-only sole traders). But I would agree with you that trade in goods across borders would very likely cross the UK threshold very quickly.

Sorry, it felt to me like you're trying to troll.

Those behaviours are extremely likely intentionally added. I can't prove it, but the responses read like they are from a propaganda text book. Not the nuanced new fashioned kind of propaganda from social media, but classic blunt and authoritarian style.

You really notice it from the answers. The output token come really fast, at least 3 times faster than in any other case. The answers seem quite unrelated to the questions, and also the tone doesn't match the rest of the conversation.

To me it's unthinkable this was not intentionally and specifically trained like that. But I'm not an expert who can prove it, so I can only offer my opinion.
I don't watch basketball, so I am speculating, but isn't this a case where defence hasn't yet adapted to the new attacking strategies? Wouldn't you expect that in a few years teams will be better at defending against 3s, reducing their expected value and therefore swinging the pendulum back towards more 2s?

The Nash equilibrium should be that the expected values of 2s and 3s are equal. If you're off, you would expect a trend toward that equilibrium, possibly with some overcorrection.

It's worse than that - it's a bunch of separate video clips spliced together to give the appearance that it's a playthrough of the entire game, but which couldn't actually play out that way in a single game. Not just because the RNG doesn't match up, but also because the character is gaining items and levels between the splices which they never actually earned through gameplay.
My company has had a backlog thousands of developer-hours long for years. Maybe eventually somebody will get fired because we're not needed, but the LLM would have to actually 10x our productivity for us to get through the backlog in a year.
My first job interview after college. It was a pair programming session but I would not touch the keyboard. I would dictate and the interviewer would type. I had to implement a dynamic array in java using TDD in one hour. From time to time I would break protocol and jump into implementation before the tests. Overall it went good. I finish the job. The interviewer however assesed that he was afraid I would not actually use TDD on the job, he was spot on. I did not get the job.
You misunderstand.

It is crazy. It is completely reckless. I’m not saying it’s ok or that I agree. I’m simply pointing out that this is a clear and obvious negotiation tactic. It’s a pattern that Trump and Musk have both followed over and over in their career.

I’m saying, if you don’t want the cuts, DON’T FALL FOR IT. DON’T LET THEM ANCHOR HERE. Congress has the power of the purse, not DOGE. These 50% cuts will be as real as self driving Teslas.

Admiral Rickover, the father of the nuclear navy and one of the greatest engineers of the last century, purposefully "over" hired. He was a major critic of private nuclear venture because business concerns being above engineering concerns leads to cost cutting pressure and disaster.

We've seen the endgame of the private enterprise model in Boeing. Do we really want our nuclear arsenal and expertise subject to that style of operations?

Nuclear disasters aren't an oops situation. They have the potential for centuries to a millennia of consequences.

Institutional knowledge can be lost or not passed down. Training/onboarding/mentorship/morale/stress/culture are all things which matter and throwing the chaos monkey into that when there is the potential for CENTURIES of disaster is unconscionable.

This is playing with fire, and you are justifying playing with fire. OK, but there's a difference between playing with fire in a fertilizer factory, and playing with fire around a campfire. Playing around a campfire is a learning experience. Playing around in a fertilizer factory you might instantly vaporize and take a portion of your city with you. You might fire all your product devs, but would you fire all your DBAs?!

People are being chosen for positions based solely on loyalty and not expertise. That should scare the living daylights out of you, especially when there is no one with veto power over decisions that any sane person would veto.

Switch to loose tea (if you drink tea), with porcelain tea kettles to brew, and metal strainers into porcelain mugs. The tea bags are made with plastics.

While you're switching back to porcelain, glass, and metal, avoid things made in China if you can. Their porcelain and glass is high in lead (often poisonously so).

Eliminate any black or charcoal colored plastics that you can. When you get to-go containers for food, transfer it to a dish (porcelain) or bowl (porcelain or glass) immediately when you get home before putting it in the refrigerator.

Never microwave with plastic wrap (a.k.a. cling film). We use paper towels if it must be covered, or another plate if it's liquid.

No plastic utensils, no "paper" plates (paper plates are mixed with plastic to make them hold up better) and have their own forever chemicals in them.

Get a pour-over kit (ceramic or porcelain, glass, and metal). We still use paper filters, but make sure they're actually paper.

No polyester clothing, or at least more than 65% or 70% cotton.
I'm super happy that these types of deep research applications are being released because it seems like such an obvious use case for LLMs.

I ran Perplexity through some of my test queries for these.

One query that it choked hard on was, "List the college majors of all of the Fortune 100 CEOs"

OpenAI and Gemini both handle this somewhat gracefully producing a table of results (though it takes a few follow ups to get a correct list). Perplexity just kind of rambles generally about the topic.

There are other examples I can give of similar failures.

Seems like generally it's good at summarizing a single question (Who are the current Fortune 100 CEOs) but as soon as you need to then look up a second list of data and marry the results it kind of falls apart.

You think it is inappropriate to live in a fire prone area.

Your arbitrary line of appropriateness is wrong.

My arbitrary line of appropriateness is right.

It is inappropriate to live anywhere where there is a fire, earthquake, blizzard, sink hole, volcano, heat wave, tornado, and hurricane risk but also where there is not ample local (as in constrained to a single independent self-governing body) water, energy, and food resources.

Only those parts are truly less risky parts.
> In .NET and Java it costs at least 100x as much time to throw an exceptions as to return an error code.

The conjecture is that if checks are always executed while exceptions are free when not thrown.

That said, predicted branches are also fairly free so arguing about this in the abstract is pointless.
From the article:

> The argument for isolating the units from each other is that it is easier to spot a potential bug. (...) In my opinion, this does not pay out because of the huge amount of false positive test cases you get and the time you need to fix them. Also, if you know the code base a little you should have an idea where the problem is. If not, this is your chance to get to know the code base a little better.

This is at best specious reasoning, and to me reflects that the blogger completely misses the point of having tests.

To start off, there is no such thing as a false positive test. Your tests track invariants, specially those which other components depend on. The whole point of having these tests is to have a way to automatically check for them each and every single time we touch the code, so that the tests warn us that a change we are doing will cause the application to fail.

If you somehow decide to change your code so that a few invariants break, these are not "false positives". This is your tests working as expected and warning you that you must pay attention to what you are doing so that you do to not introduce regressions.

It's also completely mind-boggling and absurd to argue that "knowing the code" is any argument to avoid tracking invariants. The whole point of automated test suites is that you do not want the app to fail because you missed any detail or corner case or failure mode. Knowing the code does not prevent bugs or errors or regressions.

I'm perplexed by the way we have people write long articles on unit tests when they don't really seem to understand what they are supposed to achieve.

It might replace juniors in the short term.

But by the time it can replace (not merely assist) senior engineers, anyone who has a job in front of a computer, about 80% of workers, will have their job automated by AI and we'll need an alternative (or big changes to) to capitalism. Otherwise, this particular economic system will experience massive collapse.
Yeah but these are tarriffs. Negotiate, if you want to get them away - but Trump has shown that his own word (the "beautiful" trade deal he signed during his first term) is worth absolutely nothing.
Dunno man, the times I’ve used AI to help me code, it got the solution wrong. I spent more time backtracking and fixing things than if I’d done it by hand in the first place. So it actually made me 20% less productive.
