I want the people who work to make the things I use to earn more than $150 per month.

A sane tariff policy would be set up to penalize these very low wage exporters to give competitive advantage to exporters and local producers with higher wages but also to incentivize higher wages in a way that set rates make producers more profitable if they paid workers more (and likewise other human development and environmental etc issues)

Doesn't work. We opened trade to China in the '70s. They took advantage of us, stealing IP, manipulating currency, paying their people terrible wages, crapping all over the environment. We let their companies freely in the US, they very severely restricted US business ventures in China.

Detroit, a former shining city in the industrial heartland, is now a bandit infested ruin.

In the US, a person used to be able to graduate high school and get a job that could support owning a house with a yard, a non-working spouse, a car, and multiple children.

For me, coming from the Rust Belt, it's incredibly, painfully obvious that globalization's basically destroyed the US economy. I'm constantly amazed to meet well-meaning, intelligent people who don't seem to understand this fact.
Why wouldn't they use ISO 3166 directly which doesn't contained outdated countries?

But that's the point he tries to make. When you "teach" LLM with some knowledge, you teach it a set of patterns. It won't necessarily drop the code that infringes copyright. Say you load Gumroad code into Gemini Pro context and say something like: "Check this app. Analyze the implementation of feature XY... I need you to help me implement feature XY... but in Go". Then, you can recreate an entire platform that will look nothing like the original but will have the same features and open source it.

Trying to live in a relationship with a Christian philosophy only works if both parties in the relationship have the same mindset.

I’m still not sure if this identifies poor partners or a poor outlook.
It is a direct ancestor but I find that what most people picture when they hear Old English (and have no prior knowledge of it) is something closer to Middle English, which is somewhat redeable by modern English speakers, rather than something like `Oft Scyld Scefing sceaþena þreatum, monegum mægþum, meodosetla ofteah, egsode eorlas.` [0]

>I really appreciate you following up with a cordial tone, it's so nice to have a respectful conversation with a stranger on the internet in this day and age.

This feels sarcastic?, but I'll assume it isn't for the sake of the conversation and since that's easy to misinterpret over text

> In general, these jobs can mostly be performed without a college degree.

> Contrast that with service jobs that can broadly be performed with a college degree:

Are these not apple to oranges comparisons? "can mostly be performed without a college degree" and "service jobs that can broadly be performed with a college degree" seem like different buckets.

On top of that "can broadly be performed with a college degree" means nothing. You could describe people in comas as being able to "broadly perform a coma with a college degree". Especially when retail is being pulled up as one of the major buckets.

>So, on average, manufacturing and extraction jobs not requiring a college education pay 40% more than service jobs of the same requirements.

Yea again, this is disingenuous. You're now comparing "manufacturing and extraction jobs not requiring a college education" with "service jobs of the same requirements" but mere sentences ago you were bringing up data on manufacturing jobs that _did not_ need a college degree, and numbers on service jobs that _did_ need a college degree.

I know believe the numbers in this link aren't matching up with this conversation because they are logically inconsistent

Yes this was the case for Venezuela, they started taking flights again when the El Salvador news came out.

Refusing to repatriate citizens was part of the argument the Trump admin used to justify use of the Alien Enemies act.

If this holds up in court the strategy going forward is pretty obvious. Any country that refuses to repatriate criminals will get hit with the AEA. This will be very politically painful for any country as they rely heavily on remittances from undocumented immigrants in the US, and will quickly fold.
Show HN: OCR pipeline for ML training (tables, diagrams, math, multilingual)
Hi HN,

I’ve been working on an OCR pipeline specifically optimized for machine learning dataset preparation. It’s designed to process complex academic materials — including math formulas, tables, figures, and multilingual text — and output clean, structured formats like JSON and Markdown.

Some features:
• Multi-stage OCR combining DocLayout-YOLO, Google Vision, MathPix, and Gemini Pro Vision
• Extracts and understands diagrams, tables, LaTeX-style math, and multilingual text (Japanese/Korean/English)
• Highly tuned for ML training pipelines, including dataset generation and preprocessing for RAG or fine-tuning tasks

Sample outputs and real exam-based examples are included (EJU Biology, UTokyo Math, etc.)
Would love to hear any feedback or ideas for improvement.

If you can put any person 12 years and up in jail without a trial, and you don't care about accidentally hurting innocent ones I'm surprised it is 2.5 per 100,000 and not 0 per 100,000.

El Salvador currently has the highest incarceration rate in the world, and its president now is serving second term which is not allowed by their constitution.
You're assuming bigot. This is where you're going wrong. It could be anyone for anything, even if the thing was fine to do 5 years ago - and maybe is fine again now - and it was done 15 years ago.

Precociously exclaiming "Well, personally I don't like horrible people!" isn't likely to be relevant above quite a young age.

I say the same to people who assume everyone going to an El Salvadorean jail is guilty. They're the same person as you, just in the other tribe.
I was reporting to a developer some research I'd read that said that about half of errors were logical (and, or, off by 1) and half misusing an API.

Some of this is "with age comes wisdom" but some of this is ageless. I travelled extensively for work before covid for over 20 years and thought I'd welcome it back post covid but I now find it a mixed blessing. Perhaps I'm half way down the ladder the OP has climbed off.
I'm not sure either of those are particularly progressive -- the current president seems to be a fan of tariffs, a form of planned economy popular in the 19th century (and condemned by most economists since, who favor free trade). And child brides are a common feature of many right-wing religious groups, argued on the grounds that that people (particularly female) traditionally married in their teen years.

Yeah it's not a technique intended for gridlock city traffic where you need cars to squeeze through a light and then pack together. It's very good for some other scenarios though. I think the sorts of people who put enough thought into driving to delete traffic waves are also aware enough to know when it's not appropriate to use that technique.
I remember a time when decreased murder rates was just a lie by the government. But we all know nobody's more trustworthy than the El Salvadorian regime, especially when it results in an influx of cash.

Timber is great as a building material, so long as we source it responsibly, with an eye towards sustainable harvest and minimal ecological impact. It can be done, it's just not as cheap as letting the timber companies do whatever they want.

IBM/red hat, google, apple are all receiving extremely well evidenced anti white and asian discrimination lawsuits. When a lunatic goes on a racist tirade about how she hates hiring white people online and doesn't want to work with them she's not fired from her job at EA, these instances of public unfairness stack up and have become evidence of an ongoing systemic issue over the past 10 years.

Discriminating against people on the basis of race or gender is unacceptable, that's the bottom line, going "do you think anyone will actually take you seriously" and accusing me of being an uber driver (?) is the theme type of language i'm talking about. Segregationists in the 60s and 70s constantly used this exact style of derision and appeal to marketability, spend some time just reading the writings of segregationists at the time and you will see yourself. Sorry but there's a simple objective truth here and you're on the wrong side of it, trying to call me racist while you're defending racist practices is just pointless, it looks like a fish floundering.

And it's actually really amazing how your post boils down to 'You're white so you deserve it, nobody will take whites seriously!' despite you not even knowing my race!
Cool project! The first feature put a smile on my face! “Built with rust so it’s fast” paraphrasing but yeah :)
Today while staring at my strawberry plant I started wondering if the soil had enough nitrogen for it. 10 queries, some fluff learning, and an in depth discussion about the stoichiometric steps required to convert the nitrogen consumed by a single strawberry plant got me to some workable measurement of fertilizer I could add. I think anyone bored of it is using it for too much, and too often.

> if the US imports $100 million worth of goods and services while exporting $50 million to a country, then the Trump Administration alleges that country levies a 50 percent tariff on the United States

The Trump Administration ignores the services and only looks at goods. So the base is already wrong.
No idea why there's almost no PaaS solution for Kubernetes. It would be a great platform with some add-ons. I know there's Porter but only on AWS and Azure if I understand correctly. Which is fine for many use cases I guess. Still I want to self-host for dev without huge cost.

There's also Korifi which implements the Cloud Foundry API on Kubernetes but it's still in progress and its future might be uncertain.
Is Simon on HN?
I'm not really happy about this either, there's a strong case to be made for tariffs to be limited to enemies, rivals and economic cheaters.

But on the other hand, the US's entire industrial base has fallen into complete ruin and needs to be rebuilt. Broad tariffs will help with that.

I see both sides of the issue, and I'm not really sure which is right. But the political leadership has made its choice; now the rest of us are along for the ride.

Personally I'm skeptical it will work out exactly as hoped, but I'm still decently optimistic it will put us in a better position than we had before.

One good thing is that everyone's now on notice: Taking advantage or over-relying on the US now has consequences. It's no longer an all-benefit, no-risk strategy.

Undoubtedly there will be short-term pain but that's the price of fixing the disastrous neoliberal trade policies that destroyed the Rust Belt.
Apparently he's been upset by the trade barrier imbalance since the 1980s.

There are two silver linings to all this:

1. The evisceration of American soft power will really diminish the direct and indirect harm the US intentionally and unintentionally causes. Just look at China, South Korea and Japan deciding to respond to tariffs together [1]. That is an absolutely astonishing event given fairly recent history. Future retellings of history will correct portray the US as the actual Evil Empire; and

2. All of these actions are doing a ton to break the myth of meritocracy. The people involved in this, at the highest levels, are clearly demonstrating just what complete and utter morons they are. This is why fascism flames out: valuing loyalty above all else results in an administration of sycophantic morons.

This is going to do untold economic harm in the interim but ironically it's accelerating the rise of China as a global power, despite the fact that this administration are China hawks and see these tariffs as a means reducing China's power, which it won't.

>The trade deficit with a given country is not determined only by tariffs and non-tariff trade barriers, but also by international capital flows, supply chains, comparative advantage, geography, etc.

All of those other things, minus geography are influenced by the terrifs. Terrifs make economic incentives to invest in America, for America to gain comparative advantages, etc.
This is what i was thinking of yesterday after folks on HN pointed me to the "official formula" from the govt. I could not understand why the "elasticity" parameters were chosen in such a manner as to cancel out. Now it seems it was chosen deliberately to give "room for maneuvering" when the concerned countries inevitably come to the negotiating table; never mind that the formula itself is not economically sound. It also explains why Trump and his Team keep saying the "economic hardships" will be short-term and will get better soon.
You’re comparing a new project to nginx. Obviously nginx will be faster maybe not across the board but generally it probably is. As a project matures it will optimize surely! nginx has 21 years of development under its belt.
They can, yes. But this is likely harder than you think. Suppose Trump puts a bunch of tariffs on cheap Chinese tires so that American tires are price competitive again (no idea if this happened, this is a hypothetical). If the next president removes those tariffs it would look like fucking over the tire manufacturers in whichever swing state they live in.

Perhaps a bit tangential on the subject, but in the same spirit - does anyone know of an open source self-hostable alternative to runpod/vast for managing your GPUs? Our small team has some bare metal servers and I'd like to try something light to manage / reserve instances w/ the convenience of a webui and a place where the team can see at a glance who is using what, and eventually some notes on how long each deployment is likely to take (self filled ofc).

It is even worse than that as Martinique is a “territory governed by France” in much the same way that Hawai’i is a territory governed by the USA.

Martinique is a region and department of France—and administrative subdivision of the same type as those in the French mainland, differing only in that the the top two levels of subdivision (region and department) are coextensive rather than nested in Martinique and the other overseas region/departments.

Sustainable forestry is possible, and using wood harvested from such forests in buildings is very climate friendly. It’s one of the best ways to capture carbon for a long time. But of course it requires regulation by effective government, which USA no longer has.
My thoughts on AI come from a place far beyond the noise of the crowd. If you had even a glimpse of what I see, you'd find the whole subject terribly dull.
no, this is not emotional government

it's just incompetence

real estate allows a lot of bullshit from a leader like this because they're not going to go in and give orders to the structural engineers or the electricians that can actually cause huge problems, the only thing a bullshit artist is going to influence are the outward appearances which are easy and you can't do so wrong that the building falls over. the thin facade can really just be whatever and you can always screw over a new set of suppliers or go bankrupt again and keep going

now the lifelong real estate scammer is taking that facade bullshit attitude which basically couldn't go wrong and directing towards the very impactful machinery of the global economy expecting the same kind of bluster to be the same kind of effective

it's not emotional reactions it's just stupidity, people who didn't understand things voted for the guy that puts on a much better show

and didn't vote for the people who put on a terrible show, displayed zero hutzpah, and have the attitude of "i know better than you" and "i told you so" and make no effort to hide it

3 things:

- Situation on the SWE hiring market. It's way harder to find a job.

- I personally know people from SW dev agencies that are all saying its very hard to find an opportunity (project) to work on.

- In fact, I'm 99% convinced that we're in a recession, even though its not official. Companies are cutting costs left and right. And think about it this way. When a company invests in a software, it's an investment for them, which will eventually pay for itself in a few years. But if the company is struggling to just stay alive, investments are the first thing they cut.

I don’t see how tariffs magically create wealth for foreign exporters that translates into higher wages. Let’s say I can buy a $10 shirt from Lesotho with zero tariff. Now a 50% tariff gets imposed. I can either eat the tariff and pay $15, in which case Lesotho still gets their $10, or Lesotho can eat the tariff to keep their exports competitive, in which case Lesotho now makes $5.

The part about giving a competitive advantage to local producers is true, though…
