The US is in no way dependent on Canadian oil, or any other country's oil. The US under republican administrations is a massive net exporter of oil, and if they buy yours, they do it by choice. The reason for the tariffs is that Canada has a very trade-protectionist foreign policy on everything from maple syrup to cars.

The "it's all about oil" crowd is as stuck in the 1990s as the "we're still in the cold war crowd." This is probably much more about rare earth minerals.

Why would that matter? Australia and Canada are doing reasonably well regardless of the overwhelming majority of their territories being empty "wasteland" (economically).

If anything relatively low population coupled with huge amounts of natural resources per capita is one of the best positions to be in.

By in and large their relinquished the more highly populated areas not the empty ones.
He'll name it after you, obviously.
With Russia and China reaching out to each other after many decades of nearly no contact and Trump reaching out to Russia after about a decade, it might as well be a sign of the very opposite.

This might genuinely be the birth of a true unipolar world order.

No idea if that's good or bad...

Why did EU countries always have some historical beef with Russia?
The thing is... That even if Zelensky did have the perfect dress code, perfect niceties, the whole thing was a setup with trying to pressure Zelensky into a bad deal. And if Zelensky was not to accept it the goal was to humiliate and embarrass him publically. So Vance and Trump would have gone for any other possible targets they can find, or alternatively invent some. So they kept provoking Zelensky whole time and even before when Trump called Zelensky a dictator, which is far more disrespectful than anything Zelensky has done. Even through that, it's crazy the patience Zelensky had.

The two sides of your thought are going head to head. "Gated corporate networks" don't benefit from software that "updates itself" (unless we're talking about pure SaaS). It's exactly where auto-updating is completely useless because any company with a functioning IT will go out of its way to not delegate the decisions of when to update or what features are forced in out to the developer and their product manager.

Auto-updates mostly ever practically happen for software used at home or SMB which might not have a functioning IT. If security is the concern why not use auto-updates only for security updates? Why am I gaining features I explicitly did not want, or losing the ones which were the reason I bought the software in the first place? Why does the dev think I am not capable of deciding for myself if or when to update? I have a solid theory of why and it involves an MBA-type person thinking anyone using <$300 software just can't think for themselves and if this line of thought cuts some costs or generates some revenue all the better.

The elephant in the room is that America doesnt want Russia to lose. Russia is basically America's dog, used to scare European countries in spending either 2% or soon maybe 5% of their GDP to america in order to be "protected". It's a racket and both the USA and Russia are colluding.

Two critical items who give away the total compromise of the administration.

During the conference Trump was asked when did he talk to Putin last time and said "a couple of days ago". No official communication was made about that. I am not referring to the initial call mentioned a few weeks ago.

A TASS reporter got into the Oval Office, and was kicked out when this was flagged by other members of the press. The normal accredited journalists can't easily get into the Oval Office, there is a much more rigorous process for that.

Somebody from the current US Administration, wanted this prearranged ambush, to be broadcast live to Russian audiences.

I agree with you, but that's not what's being discussed here. If it were to come to kinetic warfare, Russian wouldn't stand a chance against the US as evidenced in Ukraine.
I'm not clear on why Trump threatened that Zelensky was risking a world war.

It seems to me that Trump and Putin are effectively allies at this point so what exactly would trigger World War 3 in his mind.

Abolish land "ownership", and limit leases to 99 years. Existing ownership relations can be grandfathered in, but they will of course eventually disappear, in much the same way as how scientific revolutions eventually succeed: via the biological demise of the preceding hegemony.
It seems like Russia has managed to polarize US and manipulate one side completely to do their bidding. It's a strategy that they call ideological subversion. Russia has managed to split US in such a way that one side will always pick the opposite opinion from the other side and tie their egos and identities with it, effectively manipulating them into doing anything. For that side the most important thing becomes owning the other side, and not caring about anything else. It is very sad. US right is just victim to a very effective mass manipulation technique from a foreign actor specialized in this.
War is a negative sum game. Peace is a positive sum game.

The reality is China is now the top trading partner for most of the world. China is producing 50% of the world's steel. China has 200x the shipbuilding capacity of the United States, etc etc. Cooperation with China is positive sum for nearly the whole world, but China as the preeminent geopolitical power is incompatible with the unipolar moment where America led the world and decided the rules of the road, and could force dissenters to comply at gunpoint. China is far more relatively powerful than the USSR ever was, much less China+Russia+Iran+North Korea combined.

This is what we're seeing play out in microcosm in Ukraine, where Russia is to a large degree being backstopped by Chinese industrial and economic and diplomatic power. Hard choices are required, and there can be a lot of productive debate on the specifics of those choices. But much of "the west" seems stuck in the 1990s, where America can simply will the world it wants into existence by believing in it enough.

If America and the EU had started dumping 10% of GDP into the military 5 or 15 years ago things would likely look very different now, but we didn't and no one wants to do that now either because it would be incredibly painful for millions of people who in a democracy could vote out the leaders who enacted that policy. Hard choices are required, but we're getting mainly empty rhetoric and wishcasting, by those who wish things were otherwise. I also wish things were otherwise - but that and $5 will get me a cup of Starbucks coffee.

Noticing patterns is "tinfoil hat" territory while ignoring oddly specific and contemporary strategic infrastructure leaks is just "rational thinking."

I'll try to be more reasonable and assume it's pure coincidence that incompetence consistently aligns with foreign interests. Much more plausible.

Not really. The entire Tibet Autonomous Region has less than 4 million people living in it. Xinjiang is 26 million which is of course a lot but still insignificant compared to China's total population (and almost half the people living there are ethnically Chinese anyway).

Those regions might be politically important to China but demographically and economically (besides any potential natural resources) they hardly matter.

Han make up 91% of the population of China, in the USSR Russians were barely above 50%.

I mean China is a nation state that engages in some imperialism. The USSR was an empire first and foremost.

For me the metaphor is DRAM and swap. To hold data in DRAM you have to pay the occasional refresh cycle, or else it may fade away. You swap your thoughts to paper (or disk) to get rid of that nagging feeling that you're about to forget something that could be important. This frees up brain cycles (and memory) to focus on the next thing.

Two days or years later you may skim your past thoughts, and there is some chance that it connects back to whatever is in your working memory right now. Then you can swap it all back in, and you have a chance to make a really non-trivial connection between related topics. Or you may notice that you are going in shallow circles around the same topic every few months, and now you can either put the topic to rest, or swap all instances back in and give them some serious thought and connection.
Show HN: I built an app to convert ChatGPT Deep Research to PDFs with footnotes
Whilst ChatGPT Deep Research is very useful for generating in-depth reports, it's time consuming to copy, reformat the text (thousands of words) and clean referenced hyperlinks for use in a professional context. Out of frustration, I built deep research docs to help save time by automating the reformatting, cleaning links, footnote references, and conversion to shareable PDF format.

Hopefully this helps you save time to focus on meaningful work.

>You have to let them find out by themselves that living in squalor off side hustles is a bad alternative to finding a stable job, behaving, and then prospering.

Ahh yes, find out from their rich people run media with their rich people run government to get jobs run by rich people run businesses who aren't actually givng out jobs to the poor due to how their system works.

Yes, it's clearly the poor people's fault for being too stupid to want more money. Jim Crow would be shaking your hand right now.

>I'm saying all these things because I am from a poor community.

I come from a poor community too. If my grandparents didn't get "handouts" as you call them from food drives and food stamps, there's a good chance their 3 kids wouldn't have been healthy. Which of course means I wouldn't be born. My parents and aunt/uncle would barely have a chance to rise up amidts the need to buy food and pay rent to stay alive, and I'd likely be deleted with no opportunity because people like you insist on pulling yourselves up by their bootstraps instead of helping a community out so that the rising tides raises all ships.

Stop listening to rich people propoganda gaslighing you. They benefit from keeping people poor.
Buses are usually the cheaper inferior option. While bus service doesn't inherently suck, buses are usually chosen because of cost not because they want to run a good service. This results in cost cutting of every portion of a bus network until the experience suffers. Dedicated lanes are not provided so buses get stuck in traffic. Bus stops without rain shelters or even a bench (versus full stations). Operating budgets get cut and then the interval between buses goes to 30 min. Service after 10 p.m. gets cut. The bus networks that don't suck are usually called "shuttles" and are underwritten by tourism districts, airports, and theme park operators.

It was a made-up name for the example, since a. I don't remember the exact year; and b. I'm not sure it was San Jose -- it was some city in the bay area, but maybe not San Jose. Chuck Reed was mayor from 2007 to 2015, and I don't see him on Quora, so probably it was some other city.
A buddy of mine just acquired one of these machines (actually a beta version of a new product that will hopefully enter the market soon), and I've been helping him along the way as we try to get some good records out of it.

It's not easy! It's not like plugging in a printer. There are so many variables to consider (materials, temperatures, pressures, angles, sharpnesses, volumes, phase), magical anti-static solution formulas, airflow, isolation, line control. The margin of error can be as low as 100 microns, and if you screw up, you might break a $200 diamond shank which have to be specially manufactured and imported.

And that's before you even get to the actual audio quality!

Ignore this nonsense fad of "Vibe coding". There is no thought about software maintenance which is what will really test those with no "coding" knowledge.

The article contains a reference to a much more impressive task where a user automatically decompiled a binary exe game into Python. But I read their original post and here is what that user said.

> Several critics seemed to assume I claimed Claude had "decompiled" the executable in the traditional sense. In reality, as I described in our conversation, it analyzed visible strings and inferred functionality - which is still impressive but different from true decompilation.

So I’m not sure that the implications are as big as the article author is claiming. It seems Claude is good at de-minifying JavaScript but that is a long way away from decompiling highly optimized binary code.
