Well, one theory is that Trump wants individual companies to come to him and beg for exemptions to the tariffs. This would consolidate his power: Nobody would dare to do anything that would oppose him, for fear of having their "tariff exemption" revoked.

Another theory is that Trump has some complicated plan to reduce the US's debt; again, it involves using tariffs as a "stick" to push our allies into doing what we want. Summarized here:

You are free to disagree. The project took me way longer than I expected, and while it (building the whole thing) was fun, the experience barely helped deepen my knowledge of electronics or computers -- the videos themselves were already very educational. I wouldn't have done it if I had a better idea of what I was getting into, but anyone can make a different choice if they value their time and money differently.
Ever since the election, there's been a lot of talk about markets as good prediction engines, why did everyone seem to miss this one?

Just remember you didn't make gains until you sell those puts. If you made a lucky bet and won, sell!
It's a multitude of things.

- High interest rates trying to combat inflation.
- AI, tech's latest, greatest thing is looking like a flop, at least from hype perspective.
- Tariffs.

It will go back up after a quarter or three I suspect, once everyone has adjusted and everything has stabilized. It always does. Good time to buy soon if you have the scratch.
Yeah. There is something about carving out the image of your own mind and getting absorbed deep inside it. I will write from scratch much more than I need if it strikes me, break whatever rule I want, give names that only make sense to me. It is a sanctuary

Generally the BOM cost of most hardware is much smaller than the labor cost of assembly. That's why company shipped their semiconductors to low labor cost countries and re-imported finished goods.

That said, if the US does enter a depression then the cost of labor in the US will plummet as people compete for jobs which may? change that ratio in favor of manufacturing in the US. That is rumored to be the "big secret" behind these stupid moves but frankly the folks who believe that are not seeing what I'm seeing I guess.
Most ML is disjoint from the current NN trends, IMO. Compare Bishop's PRML to his Deep Learning textbook. First couple chapters are copy+paste preliminaries (probability, statistics, Gaussians, other maths background), and then they completely diverge. I'm not sure how useful classical ML is for understanding NNs.
The reason it is not a real market crash yet is the uncertainties around those tariffs, as they seem too absurd to be kept as announced.

And I believe this is a correct analysis, but I also think that Trump is over playing his hand and miscalculating the reactions of the world at large.

We are going to see a lot more chaos and weird moves during the coming weeks, but I am not optimist about the final outcome.
The political reasoning was that it's for commuters only. Tourism is not a big thing on federal level, so they don't want to subsidize tickets for tourists. Tourist areas sometimes have special tourist tickets for their guests.

> they need them for the tax cuts the GOP will legislate later this year.

They're also playing games where new time-limited tax cuts are counted as "costs" for their planned lifetime, but now, later, they're claiming renewing the same cuts costs nothing because they're already there. [0]

This is like a man with a mid-life crisis renting a fancy sports car saying "just one month is quite affordable", except next month he extends the lease, saying "this is fine, it's already in the budget so it doesn't cost us extra."

That matters because they're using this fake math to try to trigger special rules which let them pass budgets with fewer votes.

> The odd part is that Congress, at any time, can revoke these tariffs

Side note: Originally the law (IEEAP, 1977) [1] allowed Congress to revoke them with 50% of each house. But few years later the Supreme Court ruled that mechanism unconstitutional. This means it now requires a veto-proof supermajority of >66.6% in each house.

So yeah, with enough votes this could be done in a very short time-frame... but "enough" is such a big number that it requires most of the GOP to decide it doesn't want to destroy America after all.

No, boomers and NGO's who raided the coffers blew it and left us with $36 trillion in debt, along with $1.2 trillion on _just the interest payments_ - which is more than the US spends on Defense.

Now we can't build anything, and the other side is still holding out hope that eventually we'll be able to fix by just taxing more - despite the fact that Congress won't even vote to prevent themselves from insider trading...which means the middle class will continue to bear the downward pressure.
The claim was court cases and equity laws say any gender pay gap is the result of discrimination. Including different pay for different jobs. The article highlighted detailed consideration of value of work. The article did not support the claim. But it was informative. Thank you.

I agree with your point to a certain degree. I think we should be willing to try bad/risky ideas occasionally if just to remind ourselves why they are bad. However:

1. It can take years to make something and seconds to break it. These changes are so drastic and damaging that we may permanently set our economy back decades, especially when if other countries no longer trust us.

2. It puts a lot of faith in politicians to admit mistakes. The disastrous trade policies of the 1930s were never gotten rid of until after they led to WWII.
Pretty sure it's the unnamed guy that's doing the drinking in this scenario. No idea how you worked it out the other way.
It’s 6th (yesterday) and 7th (today) by rate.
The best (if not only) valid argument for tariffs is that they can be used to negotiate lower tariffs. Because tariffs only serve to reduce trade, which mathematically is suboptimal for economic output, and has been recognized as such by nearly every economist since David Ricardo.

Unfortunately, Donald Trump doesn't agree with that. Or his handlers don't. Not that the distinction matters anymore. The diplomatic and trade relations that we are destroying right now can't just be fixed by electing a new President. This is the US's Suez Crisis...we are no longer a world leader.
1 and 2 have been constant for months now. In fact, rates have already started going down after inflation did.

So no, it's mostly the tariffs.
I wonder if the end result is always dysfunction.
They made me spend more money, which I wouldn't mind since I don't contribute to any of the subsidies public transport may have, but you can simply charge more, or consider it an investment since tourists bring new money in daily.

After I left the MFH industry I took a position at AWS. My thinking at the time was this was a safe "infrastructure" position where I could apply myself in relative safety just worrying about bits being pushed around the internet.

However, after taking a good hard look at my past career contributions, it was impossible for me to not apply the same moral framework to my involvement at AWS. And while it wasn't quite as direct harm in the way of my MFH optimization work, it still wasn't difficult for me to see that if I succeeded, while the bits would flow fast and the metrics would rise high, I wasn't doing good. I was, at best, furthering an exploitive system.

While I don't feel the same level of regret for my contributions to AWS, I don't feel good about my contributions either.

The current one-year graph is now in negative territory. And economists are saying there's a good chance we're headed for a global recession. The stagflation of the 70s is a real possibility, although employment news for March was good.

What do you mean by that? Do you mean in the context of that era?

IME people what games to be fun because every single genre has a multitude of conceits to make the game playable and technologically feasible. The ones that eschew (most of) those conceits like ARMA and flight simulators are very niche or like Dwarf Fortress and Factorio, complexity is the point (which requires its own conceits to be feasible).

People want to ride into battle and swing swords and conquer civilizations, not manage the intricacies of military campaign logistics and foraging operations and tax collection.

It depends on the nature of that particular good's production.

Some industries are incredibly supply-chain and labor-intensive.

Others are capital-intensive.

Others may be knowledge-intensive.

A country should seek to compete in industries it has the most core competencies in.

The democrats blew it by believing Americans were educated. Now they have ZERO POWER. They don't control the executive branch, they don't control the legislative branch, and they don't control the judicial branch. I'm not sure WTF you expect Democrats to do now. It's not like Americans don't have access to a plethora of history books informing them exactly how this will play out. Too bad they don't read.
It can be that easy, but you are gambling. If the market turns for whatever reason, then all your positions go near to zero.

In what crazy worldview would these be seen as good for America? Here's one.

Hypothetically, if you perceived that the root cause of some foreign policy problems you felt were important to solve was the gap in civil liberties between your country and powerful overseas countries, you could conclude that peace could be achieved by handicapping your own country so that it regresses to match the lower standards of the foreign nations that appear to have a problem with your country and its ideologies.

Regarding this detail, there has been only one pandemic recently and it has not been attributed to 'meat agriculture', though it may have involved wild meat.
The best possible rationalization with extremely favorable glasses is that Trump is forcing a return to US manufacturing. The best version of this would incorporate things like a scheduled increase over time to give companies time to migrate, amounts based off of things like differences in living conditions, along with minor things like congressional approval so it's actually legal at all.

However the vastly more likely reason is he's a complete fucking moron that treats all interactions as binary "winning" or "losing". A mindset that helped him bankrupt numberous companies, and now likely a country. So trade deficits are "losing" and he's retaliating with tariffs. This logic befitting a toddler completely fits everything he's demonstrated over the years.
Was there no native ARM linux you could have used? As I recall, you have used this emulated MIPs technique in many of your published projects, so it's good to prove that the hardware is working?

The problem with every third-party rationalisation is that they’re all just wild guesses.

The administration hasn’t explained their logic and haven’t made clear plans — that’s the real problem.

The difference between science and “traditional” beliefs is that the former is not just about convincing others through force, but explaining things to others such that they’ll convince themselves.

It’s also the difference between good political leadership and a ruthless dictator.

One needs only words, the other needs violence.

You'll be happy with either. Bishop's approach is historically more mathematical (cf his 2006 PRML text), and you see that in the preliminaries chapters of Deep Learning, but there's less of this as the book goes on.

I've read chapters from both. Much overlaps, but sometimes one book or the other explains a concept better or provides different perspectives or details.
This is exactly it. Rick Santorum was beating this drum decades ago (given that Accuweather is based in Pennsylvania)
I'm not sure what's being complained about here. Most PCs (still) come with Windows, so "first use" will have occurred before you obtained the computer. A motherboard bought separately usually comes unlocked so you can remove the Microsoft certificate if you don't want to trust it anymore. If you're saying that unlocked parts bought individually should not come with any certificates trusted out of the box, I don't necessarily disagree, but this would be a regression in security and convenience for the average user, so it's unlikely to be adopted.
So you want to replace a USB PHY with a serial to Ethernet converter and an Ethernet PHY.

The reality is that the simple protocols like SPI and I2C just are not good enough. They aren't fast, the single-ended signal scheme makes them very sensitive to noise, and there is no error correction. These protocols make sense and work extremely well for their intended purpose: connecting ICs on a PCB. If you expose an unterminated port to the outside world, all bets are off.

These protocols and variations thereof are still in heavy use in modern PCs. But they're internal busses, as the protocols intend.

I haven't looked closely at the USB spec, but I imagine the main problem with bit-banging is simply the speed required. You have to have dedicated hardware because no microcontroller is fast enough to toggle the pins while also running the software stack to decode the protocol and manage error correction.

You can run into this exact problem bit-banging I2C. With a 20MHz CPU, the maximum clock speed you can get is about 250KHz. Just a bit more than half the typical maximum rate of 400KHz. You can absolutely forget about the 1MHz version.

PHYs exist for one very good reason: it is vastly cheaper to offload comms protocols to hardware. Without that, you have to over-spec your CPU by quite a lot to get enough resources to manually manage communication. This is why every modern microcontroller contains hardware for I2C, SPI, serial, etc.

In summary, the simple serial protocols like SPI and I2C and UART are just absolutely terrible choices for external peripherals. They can't operate at reasonable speeds, they can't tolerate long cables, they can't tolerate noise. The nature and design of these protocols (excepting RS232 which is not UART) means that they cannot be used this way. There's no change to the spec you could make to support this without reinventing USB.
> Nobody is talking about ceding land, we're talking about re-establishing a nation in the historic homeland of the Jewish people

You're saying the same thing with different words. In order to "re-establish" that nation, they had to take over control of Palestine, against the will of the people who actually lived there.

> no Zionist demanded land or induced anyone to cede their land prior to 1947 anyway

That's not true at all. The entire point of Zionism was to take over political control of Palestine and found a Jewish state there. The mainstream Zionist movement wanted all of Palestine, and the radical right wing of Zionism (the "Revisionists," who eventually became Likud, Netanyahu's party) even wanted what is now Jordan.

> all Zionist land acquisition was through voluntary purchases and legal land transfers

That's formally correct before 1947, but the goal was to take over all of Palestine. The leadership of the Jewish Agency (the Zionist quasi-government in British-run Palestine until early 1948) knew that ultimately, it would come down to war with the Arabs, and they prepared for it. They were also very interested in forced "population transfer" (which today would be called "ethnic cleansing"), which they hoped the major powers would agree to.

Even the land purchases were extremely predatory. Imagine the worst aspects of gentrification, but at the scale of a country and enacted for explicitly racist reasons. The Zionists bought up land from landlords who didn't even live in Palestine, and then forcibly removed the Palestinian farmers who lived on the land.

Even so, they never purchased more than about 6% of Palestine, before they forcibly took most of the rest in 1947-48.

> So are you arguing that the Jews are not a people that merit self determination?

First, the obvious question, as I've said, is "where?" Is easy and relatively harmless to say in the abstract that "this group of people is a nation and deserves self-determination." But when you start laying claims to other people's lands, that becomes a problem.

I don't really want to get into who is "a people," but I'll just point out that what you're saying implies that American Jews are just Israelis who happen to live abroad. I think that's incredibly wrong. Jews belong to many different nationalities.
I can’t speak with authority, but I imagine the steelman involves something like

- US needs manufacturing capability to maintain defense capability and boost long term growth.

- tariffs result in pushing some manufacturing (and associated skill set) back to the U.S.
Developing countries should be deprived of antibiotics, or affordable antibiotics? cui bono? That's too convenient for big pharma companies.
Trump take bribes with companies and countries for exemptions to tariffs. Trump informs insiders of upcoming market manipulations so they can exploit the falls and rises. Inflation rises in the us as companies have fewer competitors and another justification for price increases. Income inequality increases just like the last guy that said lets make america great again.

Which NGOs?

> Now we can't build anything

Yeah, this isn't due to the debt. Most infrastructure projects in the US are disasters (usually due to layers of outsourcing, tons of consultants, corruption, lack of competence) that cost multiple times their equivalents elsewhere in developed countries.

It's exactly like in healthcare - the US spends more to get less than similarly developed countries. The amounts available to spend aren't the issue here, the terrible use is.
