> The irony in telling Americans to build a 25 year plan to roll out photo ID when they don't even solve issues for your government.

They don't solve issue for us because we deliberate include the bigotry into the system.

We are bigoted regardless of voter ID.

But it does solve problems for other countries, like the actually leftist countries in Europe etc.

And it could solve problems for you.

Just because we are 3rd world hell-hole doesn't negate the effectiveness of voter-ID.

We choose to puncture our tyres, doesn't negate the effectiveness of wheels.
Isn't that what TikTok is, or Instagram real? Swipe up and it's something completely different.

Then again, the "algorithm"(TM) is geared to showing you what captures your attention in order to keep you watching and get those ad impressions out of you, so the videos end up being very same.

Also it's curious, a few days after that hurrican/flooding in a few months ago, a lot of the videos being shown were about houses being swept away in water. A few days ago a lot of the videos were of water falling off infinity pools and that collapsing skyscraper in Thailand (RIP).
I'm convinced Trump is 100% sincere in his belief that his economic ideas are brilliant and will lead the US to a golden age.

I think his (and much of the far right's) mind is characterized by:

- a deep incuriosity and unwillingness to learn about the world

- extreme overconfidence in his own judgment

- an understanding of the world as being pervasively zero-sum (shared with Putin); your loss = his win

- obsessive preoccupation with the dynamics of humiliation: he feels an extreme need to be perceived as strong and to humiliate his enemies, and he greatly fears being humiliated

I feel like these characteristics explain most of his policy. The idea of tariffs arises from his zero-sum mindset: the only way to gain is by making someone else lose. This is of course factually wrong, but he's too incurious to learn from history or economics. And, of course, he's massively overconfident, so the thought that someone else could know better does not occur to him. And once the ball is rolling, his fear of humiliation will ensure that he has to stay the course. His perceived enemies (which is everyone) have to come crawling to his throne, begging to have their tariffs reduced while praising his brilliant policies, and then he might consider it. So if that doesn't happen, his only options are (a) perpetually retaliating with ever-increasing tariffs, disregarding the consequences entirely; or (b) capitulating in the trade war (lowering or abolishing tariffs) while not admitting that it's a capitulation ("don't worry, my brilliant policy fixed the mass influx of fentanyl and illegal immigrants from Canada, so now we can drop the tariffs on Sri Lanka" or something similarly incoherent).
It's not an entertainment, it gives more info than just a single stat "estimated time".
It’s not for free. It’s in return for being under the US security umbrella, which costs the US about $800 billion a year

Of course that umbrella could soon be gone, so it would be a moot point

rsync is no SSH tool. I get how that sentence emerged, but it is still a turn off, mixing up terminology like that for convenience.
They overcomplicate by using 3-4 different (sub) license in one project:

in README:

Licenses
- The sample code is released under Apple Sample Code License.

- The data is released under CC-by-NC-ND.

- The models are released under Apple ML Research Model Terms of Use.

Acknowledgements

- We use and acknowledge contributions from multiple open-source projects in
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS."

then having in github license button "Copyright (C) 2025 Apple Inc. All Rights Reserved."

in repo file
LICENSE
LICENSE_MODEL

why making it so confusing and elaborate? Its so useless to even use by 3rd party devs for making apps and releasing on their platform. So then just make it one license with the most strict restrictions you can make AGPL and/or CC-by-NC-ND .
> these are all internal territories of Australia. Why they get separate tariffs is weird.

Probably because they had separate entries in a "list of countries" which they picked as a base for their list? I don't really think there was more thought put into that, especially not for the countries who "only" got the "baseline" tariff of 10%. Interestingly though, Russia seems to have been completely left out, while Ukraine gets 10%.
Note that various surveys report young women and young men diverging a lot more politically. Partly because women's rights have become so politicised.
> these companies not wanting to pay for creating their model and then just claiming fair use

Certainly model developers would prefer not to pay if given the option, but I also feel it's not untruthful to say that it hasn't actually been feasible to license content on the scale required.

Even just for training an object detection network as a side project, I struggled to find sufficient pre-training material outside of web-scraped datasets like ImageNet. I even contacted Getty and was told directly that they don't license images for machine learning.

Something like a compulsory licensing scheme where you pay into a pot to train a model could potentially work. Mostly, I hope whatever we eventually get is feasible for open source groups, individual developers, universities, smaller companies, etc. rather than only being made with the few biggest companies in mind.

Show HN: Blogroll editor, with built-in email to RSS support
I developed an editor for blogrolls, you can try it out here: https://lighthouseapp.io/tools/blogroll-editor

The basic idea is that you can create a list of blogs and newsletters (via email to RSS) and then export it to an OPML file, which you or others can use to import the list in their favorite feed reader.

Recently I’ve seen it more and more that people publish blogrolls on their website/blog, but if I want to add them I have to do it one by one. OPML files are already used for exports of feed readers, but why not use them for sharing blogs too? That’s basically why I built it, to make sharing of blog lists easier.

I hope it’s valuable for you too. Any feedback or comments is very welcome of course!
Can't wait to see the detailed specs and pricing. I am looking for a small and light upgradable device to use as a laptop instead of an iPad/tablet that I can chuck into my bag.
I agree, losing reserve currency status would make American gdp / living standards to come way closer to Europe for the simple fact it won't be able to permanently increase its debt deficits.
However its far from clear losing reserve status is going to happen, sure some countries will try to diversify but others are probably too tight inside the American umbrella (for defense for example).

But yeah, surprises can happen so interesting times.
"models are released under Apple ML Research Model Terms of Use."
Yes this discriminates, but your example illustrates the exact reverse way to what I meant. Being subject to conscription is like a negative right/loss of rights - men are being forced to potentially put their lives on the line. Can you think of a female equivalent where females are ordered by the government to put themselves in harm's way?

In both cases it seems like the discrimination is not in favour of men. Apparently men ought not to get a say in "women's issues", but it is also right that men be forced to put their lives on the line.

If that is correct, it is the case that men have less rights.
I can't imagine any person having listened to Trump even once would in good faith claim he is a smart man
Show HN: Vibe coding creates a mess, but it can be solved faster
I've been using Cursor, Co-Pilot, ChatGPT, Claude and what not since quite some time now, and we are at a stage where we can just "vibe code" whole apps from idea to execution in a few prompts.

I tried this personally to create some side projects that solved little problems for me. But I always got stuck at a point where it just goes into an infinite loop of issues and can't solve the issue by itself.

Well I'm a developer, so it's easier for me to dive into the code and solve the problem myself, but that would take a hell lot of time to understand all the code AI wrote for me. If I keep wanna "vibing", I would just give it the screenshot of my current webpage view along with the console logs, and even network requests if its connected to some APIs

But even this took quite some manual effort and time, so I decided to solve this problem for myself when I created Composer Web (https://github.com/saketsarin/composer-web)

It solves that problem seamlessly by sending all your logs, reqs, and screenshot of your webpage altogether directly to your cursor chat, in just one-click and LESS THAN A SECOND.

I made this open source and it kinda blew up. So I'm looking for people to help me maintain this and build it further for more use cases like iOS Simulator logs, AWS Cloud Console logs and even extend the support to other open source IDEs like Cline, Aider, etc.

I'm also open to any feedback and suggestions you have for me. So feel free to comment here, or ping me on the discord given on the github repo

Hope it makes your vibe coding flow even easier and hassle-free :D
A government is a collection of politicians. Those people are power seekers by definition. Almost always, the increasing the size of the budget under their control increases their power.
I think it is already as narrow as you can put 2 seats side by side. But then indeed it becomes a tradeoff between size and efficiency. They went for maximum efficiency. And it is still 26cm shorter than a Model 3. So while not an compact car, not overly large either.
Other currencies are not always great: for example, being under sanctions Russia sold oil to India for Indian rupees; then it found out that you cannot simply take rupees abroad or exchange and you need to invest them locally [1].

But I also wonder what's wrong with other currencies and why they are not used more often.

But of course, current US move will greatly help recent Russian efforts in persuading other countries to switch the trade from US-controlled dollars.

Yes, fines sometimes appear levied selectively. Where do you draw the line though? Would you consider the tens of billions Volkswagen had to spent in the US to settle their emissions scandal as "tariffs"?
More businesses will be incentivised to locate in the US, to avoid tariffs, but they'll still be incentivised to hire from outside the US due to cheaper labour (there's no tariff on wages).
That's the part where "unprecedented wealth inequality" comes in. By most metrics, 2024 was an excellent year and the US was far ahead other developed countries [0] in growth, labor market, consumer spending, net household wealth, and much more; the fundamentals were solid and no figures could point to a major economic downturn at that point, certainly not in a predictable manner. In 2025 the 90th percentile accounts for over half all consumer spending, the median household hasn't reaped the same benefits high-income, high-spending ones have. There is no indication this will change, and may get worse with the current and proposed policies.

omg do you think elon started playing simcity recently, trying out all these ridiculous things, and now he's advising donald to do same in the real world, because he's convinced it'll work based on the simcity experience?
Many people who voted for tribe X voted for tribe Y a few years back. Have these people irredeemably changed in your eyes? Are they stupid for doing so? Is it possible for stupid, easily believing people to choose tribe X again? Does it make their stupidity disappear?

Does choosing a correct tribe increase intelligence and reduce gullibility?

One increasing view we hear today is of the "uneducated ignorant malleable masses". Should we think of our fellow tribe members this way?

The question being asked by people in tribes are "what to do with stupid/evil people" and history shows examples of tribes attempts to answer that.
If he isn't a smart man, he can't be US president TWICE. Or being book smart is irrelevant. He didn't talk the way the political class prefers for sure, but it doesn't matter.

I judge things by outcomes, even Trump doesn't lack any credentials.
I've been pondering the same thought recently but applied to analog cameras. Analog cameras have evolved over time, approximately according to the following:

- fully mechanical

- mechanical shutter with light meter

- electronic control of shutter, mechanical advance

- fully electronic shutter and advance

Broadly, what I'm finding after digging in to restoring some cameras is that most of the cameras from the first stage can still be fixed and made to perform close to when they were new. The second still work, but the light meter can die (simpler light meters may be repairable, later ones not so much). The third and fourth stages - once they die, there's no repairing them. And when you look at digital cameras, there'll be very, very few of these that last long into the future.

This bears out the 'Lindy Effect' mentioned in the article.

Florida is the US of the US.
So how about a decentralized currency that no one controls? Preferably digital. If only we had the technology ;-)
I'm sorry, but the US has an abysmal human rights record.

It has a per capita incarceration rate lower only than Rwanda, Turkmenistan, Cuba and El Salvador (which is a prison subcontractor _for_ the US).

It has started more wars than any other country since the second World War.

It is the only country to have used a nuclear weapon in anger.

It has a death penalty.

It supports numerous regimes with abysmal human rights records, Israel, Egypt and Saudi spring to mind, but that's just `head(3)`.

It has bombed it's own population, shot its own students, had racial segregation in living memory.

Given its scale and reach, I'd suggest that the US is, in fact, the world's greatest human rights abuser.

I'm struggling to think of a country with a worse record.
The US are never going into a direct war with China, and China is never going into a direct war with the US. This is M.A.D in action.

At most we might see a proxy war over Taiwan (i.e. the US supporting and arming Taiwan, with sanctions against the PRC). The risk would then be a widespread disruption of global trade, at which point the US would not want to be dependent on the Chinese economy or factories in any way.
I guess I got the answer then.
It looks like were're going to have AIs helping us play Minecraft soon. It seems like they did have to nudge it in the right direction though so it could discover how to mine diamonds.

The fishermen will get paid in pesos but the company will be paid in dollars. And the company will probably put their dollars in a bank outside the Philippines, which only accepts dollars, euros or swiss francs.

If the fishermen could be paid in dollars, they would probably prefer that.

And the fact that they'd prefer that to being paid in Rubles or Renminbi is the underlying guarantor of American economic power... which, if it goes away and was replaced by Chinese power in the south china sea, would be catastrophic for the fishermen as well.
So... I need an email address to signup to an email service?
In the gallery https://leanrada.com/notes/css-only-lqip/gallery/ there's a good example of what I mean - the bottom right image or 4th from the end. A completely different image in comparison to the gradient.

As for the minimalism, I understand what you mean. But I understood the "minimal" part in regard to implementation, not usage. If we only mean usage, we can say the same about a lot of libs, that they are minimal. Yeah, it's minimal for the end user, but under the hood it is not as minimal. It's not anything bad, it's just how I interpreted the title.

> I think it's at least as plausible that this is part of the magic that makes it good. HN is sufficiently "on the margin" that they don't have to do things like placate advertisers with their moderation policies. The mods like dang, tomhow and pg mostly care about HN as users rather than owners.

I agreed, and would say its stronger than that. Running HN well is great for Y Combinators reputation, and its focused on a relevant audience. I am sure that has to be very good for them.

Absolutely. It happens a lot.

You’re comparing against a car that is difficult to use on UK roads due to its length and (to a lesser extent) width. Perhaps in the US it’s not that big, but here it is.
>Even if a professional can fix it, that expertise to be able to use those tools worth "a few thousand dollars" costs a lot too, likely pushing the price high enough that its worth thinking about buying a new device instead.

This is generally a problem in taxation than the devices. Consider I want to have an electrician fix my broken wallsocket:

>Billed for 100€/hour

>Out of which expenses for moving using a workcar, calculating by officially recognized tax administration car wear value 0,59€/km for 5km both ways, so ~6€, 94€ remains

>VAT is 25,5%, leaving you with ~70€

>Paying for mandatory employer's portion of pension 17,5%, leaving us with ~57,75€

Now the employee gets 57,75€, out of which following are deducted:

>Income tax for average electrician: 26%, ~15€

>Employee's part of mandatory pension: 7,15%, ~ 4,1€

>Municipal taxes: ~8% depending on municipality ~ 4,6€

So 57,75€ - 23,7€ = ~34€

There are also various single or partial percent taxes that slightly affect the outcome, and companies often want some sort of profit instead of directly giving 100% to the single employee.
No, the foreigners pay the tariffs. Then that foreign money gets spent on childcare and other things Americans need and want.

How many times does Trump need to explain this to you?
It depends on who is spending. If American consumers or the American government borrow to consume, what you say is right.

But it was US monetary policy for decades now that the deficit doesn't really matter, because the world trusts the US and loans the money back.
My interpretation: "No one really knows what will happen but it could work to bring some production back to our country, let's give it a try, if it doesn't we try something else."
Saying either the world is perfect or not perfect is a false dichotomy?

I’m sure that encompasses all possible outcomes, so clearly it’s not false.
> Show me how much UBI saves police departments, social welfare services, the health-care system, etc

Sure, people can do that, but remember that it's impossible to measure wealth without distributional concerns. Whenever you ask "will this make us richer", there's an implied wealth distribution in the question, since what's valuable depends on who has money.
I think it is a mistake to approach this policy as if it is about other states. One sign that it is not is that it seems to be based on a crude, almost simplistic calculation, something like trade deficit divided by exports, with a ten percent blanket tariff on states with trade surplus or no trade.

Applying the same policy against everyone indicates it's not about them, it's about the usian 'us'. Another way to look at it might be as sanctions, but instead of applying them on another state, applying them at home. And sanctions are usually a means to influence oligarchs and industrialists in a state, which probably means this is a policy directed at those groups in the US.

Why would you want to hurt US industrialists and oligarchs? Because then you can ease their pain in exchange for their loyalty. This is the logic behind castles in Europe. It's a place where the king decides the taxes, taxing illoyal barons or whatever more than loyal ones, and if they militantly disagree, shut the door and have them expend their resources on a hopefully futile siege and then be weakened anyway. Similar policy was common in colonial settings too, if the colony was uppity, tax them harshly.

The world is changing fast anyway, the liberalist hegemony wasn't going to extend far into the future for many reasons, like climate change and the general rise of autocracy worldwide. Having guarantees of loyalty and stability from the state apparatus at home when the world order inevitably crumbles while burning some bridges that would likely fall apart anyway, instead of wasting resources keeping up a charade defending some 'status quo', has a kind of logic too it.
> The value of a country's money is backed by a combination of how much they produce and how much foreign currency and assets from other countries they hold (euros, dollars, gold) they have on reserve.

I think the simplest way to think about it is simply supply and demand. Currently there is constant high demand for USD due to its reserve status as you said (supply is also growing btw , deficits, printing of money etc). If demand goes down, there will be too much supply so the Dollar will naturally weaken against other currencies.
As far as I know the fact that one USD equals 0.95 Euros (or whatever) is simple market forces of supply and demand.
