First of all, I entirely reject your premise.

Second of all, I want to really zero in on "we don't tolerate." I want to know who we is, and how they plan on stopping me from expressing my feelings. Because last I checked we even tolerate nazis in the town square in this country, because the alternative is even worse.

With the US seemingly entering a period of isolationist market settings, some portion of foreign investment is bound to be heading back out either to home markets or elsewhere international as those investors potentially deal with market altering policies such as tariffs etc that may make turning those investments back into products harder.

What I’m curious about is how this will affect smaller regional markets such as the ASX, if our investors who prefer American markets will return those dollars here or into larger Asian markets closer to the NYSE in volume.

Ask HN: Are you convinced enough by Elon Musk's vision to go to Mars now? Why?
More than a bit concerned that HN's sense is being taken advantage of by publications (and submitters) duplicating content, getting a bunch of upvotes (leading to split/dupe discussions later potentially), and devaluing original content and the HNers taking the time to submit sources. But ok, noted. thx
Yes with the pedantic caveat that those aren't similar in the sense that one is a common confusion and the other is correct.

The Nordic model is the sort of economy and political structure that the 19th century socialists explicitly reacted against and rejected. It's a representation of mainstream liberal democratic theory not of socialism.

On the other hand democracy was always understood to be representative because you can't make every decision by plebiscite.

It has to do with being accurate rather than being "pure".
The controls exist, but it is just one more "computer thing" to break for a non-techy audience.

I thought about wiring up a physical button which would send the "disable for N minutes command" before I realized I was playing with too much fire.
Sure, but I guess what i'm implying is that some companies and business tycoons will do everything in their hand to pay as little tax as possible, and I'm pretty sure Musk is one of those people.

And yes, most companies will try to minimize taxes (shareholder obligations and all that), but I do think some use much more aggressive tactics than others and will use every loophole and every accounting trick possible.
Not the OP, but my best guess is it’s an alignment problem, just like gun killing what the owner is not intending to. So the power of AI to make decisions that are out of alignment with society’s needs are the “something, something’s.” As in the above healthcare examples, it can be efficient at denying healthcare claims. The lack of good validation can obfuscate alignment with bad incentives.

Good that you agree slavery was abolished by a country with a monarch ... you skipped over the second point; the country most associated with industrial scale slavery in the world had no monarch.

It's a loose correlation you're making here, very much a "let's build this skyscraper with wet noodles instead of steel" approach.

The good ol' media talks about it happening in America so it must only happen in America fallacy. ISPs can be compelled to divulge data in most places around the world.
I'm seeing similar attitudes in my country and am disgusted by it. It mirrors and reinforces the isolationist attitudes that we are seeing in the US. We should be looking outwards in an effort to diversify our options and strengthen our ties to other countries, rather than looking inwards. (Yes, I realize the EU is a collection of countries. Yet there is more to the world than the EU.)

If Kagi is truly cool, by cool I am including opposition to current American policies, and you think they offer a good product, then you shouldn't fret about supporting them. If they aren't cool, then by all means look for alternatives.
This thread is specially about the USA so I didn’t feel the need to clarify that I’m obviously only talking about the USA.
> My point was more that you claimed to not understand and I was just providing an example where it does take longer than “15 seconds” to switch to Kagi.

It's an example, but it's not an example that proves the point.

> iOS/iPhone has the majority mobile market share in many countries including the United States. If you’re unaware, Google is currently being sued by the US government for establishing a monopoly over search engine placement including payments to Apple and Mozilla to keep Google as the default search engine. So, with that context, can you honestly say there’s no collusion between search providers and browser vendors?

Yes, easily.

The comment was talking about depth of collusion in making it significantly not seamless. But even with Google pushing a default, it's a trivial switch on Android.

On top of that, Google pushing their search engine onto Android phones has nothing to do with "browser vendors". It's a different topic.

So I say Android is not an example, and desktop is fine, leaving the only example of problems as Apple. Even if I think that's collusion, just Apple doing a thing is not collusion over the general market of browser makers. But I'm also skeptical that it's collusion. Apple always offers limited choices and bad customizability.

The actual issue is that Google pushes Chrome on its properties “this site renders better with Chrome download here” so it’s almost impossible for users to avoid it. Same issue with Edge. Once you switch off of Safari on macOS that’s the last you hear of it. If anything should be illegal it’s using your dominant position in one market to force users into a specific position in an adjacent one. MS got busted for it previously. Google under threat now. Apple has its own issues but it isn’t currently entirely owning a market. If Ape owned the phone market and the only App Store was Apple’s, I think the court would start ruling against Apple.

There’s also a clear conflict of interest having the advertising company own the user-agent.
I am using a vps and it is dead simple and cheap. If my projects actually gained traction , switching from vps to a more scalable infra is not a big challenge. The biggest challenge is to find PMV as fast and as efficient as possible.
If your car has crappy thermostat control, then how does that universally apply to other cars?

My thermostat just works. I don’t live in an extreme climate, so layering isn’t a thing. The car has a button specifically for defogging your windshield, so that is treated separately from climate control. You can hit max if you want drastic temperature change, but it’s a heat pump so thermostat is the only way to go really.

> I have yet to see a reasoned justification of how this benefits thr USA beyond the awfully short term trite "saves money

The optimistic explanation I’ve heard from the more enlightened MAGAs is that this is an attempt to “toughen Europe up”: get them to spend more on their defense and run ops without the US so that the US can focus on preparing for the war with China while Europe handles Russia.

I think this is cope since Trump has also been acting belligerent towards Japan and Taiwan, but that’s the steelman.
I think it would not be unreasonable to suggest this is the beginning of the end for the USA's participation in NATO.

Europe was not included in negotiations with USA/Russia concerning NATO or Ukraine. Trump is willing to sell out the entire continent and Ukraine for whatever Putin is offering. This is the state of America under this Administration and their version of "Making America Great Again".
Audits are routine. There have been many media reports of late pointing out past audits of US Government accounts. They are commonplace in Canada, the UK, and AU also.

These "sorts of audits" are not routine for a reason - they're a disorganised clown show with ulterior motives to core out government functioning from the inside.
> Keep throwing more "tools" at it and hope to start building stuff on top of it

Yes and it's working? People ARE CURRENTLY building things.

They are NOT currently whinning that LLM is not smart enough so they must sit and wait for the next model to be able to code any problem, (again RELIABLY) on demand.

> People are trying to get these things to do complex multi-step reasoning tasks, including making changes to their codebase (?!), automating behaviors as "agents" that need to predictably and secure function...

You understand that all these are powered by tools calling underneath? The planning and orchestration of tasks follows a structure, to be fed into tools. This is why a plain model cannot do shit, people have to make products with the right tools on top to make a llm behave the way they want, and not just chit chat endlessly.

The abitrary execution approach, if it ever works, is by building tools and MCP servers for code execution. Because obviously it's not the LLM server who executes code.

You clearly have never thought about how to actually build any of these things.

> ...writing API boilerplate

Tool/function calling can be anything, it's you who decided that you can only use it for API boilerplate. Does the word "function" always mean boilerplate in progranming?

No. Because it's bad science, and bad engineering. He's mistaken about scale, about logistics, about individual movations, legal structure, about closed and open cycle economies in energy, food and air.

I've quit Reddit off and on over the years, and one of my fears the first time was missing out on news or helpful tips from small professional/hobby subreddits. I ended up building a tool that would email me the top 3 posts from a list of subreddits every day, and that was all I needed to quit without feeling like I was missing out. My tool eventually broke after Reddit's api change, but now I use one called redditletter¹ which does the same thing.

Frankly there isn’t much money in surveillance - with the “Google” and the four colors gone I doubt the “Chrome” brand is going to be worth much. “Blackrock Private Equity LLC Chrome” just does not have the ring.

What does it mean to sell Chromium? Chromium code is Copyright The Chromium Authors. It contains a substantial amount of code not written by Google, which isn't Google's to sell.

I suppose Google could sell the rights to their parts of the codebase, possibly the rights to future Googler contributions, admin rights to the repo, domains, trademarks, CI, hardware labs, and maybe some other things I'm forgetting... but in terms of the tech being developed and shipped, there isn't really anything substantive to sell.
My biggest 'wtf' moment was riding in back to back uber rides with a Model Y and then a Kia EV6.

First time riding in both. The road noise in the Y made it feel really cheap. Rough ride. Generally cheap feel.

The Kia was much smoother, quieter, obviously more premium materials.

It's really simple, Tesla people will tell you the car is built around a computer while other manufacturers stick a computer in their car. They're correct, and that's not a compliment for the Tesla because the ergonomics as well as the fit and finish were clearly an afterthought.

I could see this adaptive UI / reactive intent UX become valuable for a couple use cases:
1. Tutorial modes for complicated UX that gradually introduces the user to new features as they "progress" through the website.
2. Warning users that their inputs could lead to unforeseen consequences. Think "you forgot to attach the file you talked about in the email" warning that Gmail already does.

It's an interview though. Most people just watch youtube videos and "copy and paste" the answer.

In a way it's the format of the interview that's the problem. Similar to leet code style interviews a lot of the times we're not checking for what we need.
You need video evidence otherwise it’s useless. Even with that sueing a billionaire is impossible so good luck.

> The problem is unforced errors on the part of both Apple and Mozilla creating awful web browsers that aren't worth using.

This feels like quite an exaggeration. I’ve used Chromium-derived browsers only sparingly in the past decade, with Safari and Firefox instead getting the bulk of my usage depending on the platform.

Generally if something doesn’t work under those browsers, the top two causes are unnecessary user agent sniffing with the site working fine once I pretend to be Chrome or the dev simply not testing against anything but Chrome. It’s been vanishingly rare that the browsers themselves were the cause of an issue.
