> I'm willing to believe this administration is acting in good faith,

There's a difference between nonpartisanship and ignorance.
For many years every web page at CNN and all web email at AOL was hosted by AOLserver and coded in TCL. It was not a mess.
I think it's about reducing the impact of outside market forces on the US, and increasing its sovereignty in the long term, and potentially laying the groundwork for a white ethnostate that doesn't rely on immigration. The globalised world is going to be crippled by climate change, mass climate immigration, demographic instability and food security.

This avoids the demographic and, depending on your perspective cultural challenges that are coming for many countries in the future, and lets America march to its own beat. America is setting up to be a fortress and a world unto itself in an unstable world. While a lot of countries will be going through these issues in the future America is doing its hard yards now.

Still years of economic misfortune ahead in the meantime.
It's a tax on everyone. You eat, don't you? Wear clothes? Drive a car?

Rich people will pay more for their food too, but they can afford to - they are rich.
Firstly I think it's a little impolite to frame a opensource project trying to find a sustainable funding model as "weird", whatever your concerns this is still much better than closed source.

I don't think the number of people who want to FTP stuff is very high anymore, we are all storing our code in git and therefore want to deploy on a commit or tag. We probably care about SSL, maybe we need to build our code before it can be deployed and so on.
No one would consent.
The runtime values have tags that denote their runtime type. They are not of a single type. You are talking about static types.

You don't need to try and imagine why they're doing it, because Trump has said why for the last 30 years. He sees our trade deficit as as "the US being taken advantage of."
The purpose of the LLM would be to translate natural language into computer language, not to do the calculation itself.
Yup. As a founder who outsourced sales early, I have big regrets because it always ended up being me actually making the sales with my network and ability to understand the market.

So the regret comes from wasting a lot of money. Always do your own sales first.
> why should US citizens pay taxes to educate people who are apparently hostile to our fundamental values?

Because that's where Americans come from - the educated and acculturated sons and daughters of immigrants who came bearing all manner of prejudice.
Fake it till you make it.

Oracle did the same.
Artificial neural nets are pretty far from brains. We don’t use them because they are like brains, we use them because they can approximate arbitrary functions given sufficient data. In other words, they work.

For what it’s worth, people are also pretty bad at math compared to calculators. We are slow and error prone. That’s ok.

What I was (poorly) trying to say is that I don’t care if the neural net solves the problem if it can outsource it to a calculator. People do the same thing. What is important is reliably accomplishing the goal.
> demand will continue to shift to less externally-dependent goods, which has and will continue to reduce our liability.

The cure for this type of wishful thinking is nothing else but reality itself. Still, it’s not the premise that’s wrong here, but the argument that the US society is capable to make this type of shift. It just isn’t gonna happen.
I love the freedom in a side project to write a thing, then rewrite it, then decide on a new requirement and rewrite it again. No deadlines, no stress, just incrementally experimenting until I'm happy.

At work they rely on me to deliver in a reasonable time, and move on to the next task. Once something is working, it generally isn't changed too much, even to improve it (obviously if it's really important to improve it we make time for that, but that doesn't happen so often)

What an incredibly classic, braindead tragedy.
Money in this context is just a representation of value. You presume the money for foreign goods is leaving the USA when we import the goods, but that is actually not necessarily the case.

Make no mistake, these countries are getting something in return for the extra goods and services they give to us. It is not for free. One of the big things trade to China to make up this deficit is an investment in the US government (treasury notes) or assets. That is, they are taking the dollars they get and then parking it in the US as investment . The deficit is they're choosing us to invest in rather than themselves!

>The U.S. trade balance has been in a deficit position since the 1970s. This means that the
total value of imported goods has been greater than the total value of exported goods.
This means the U.S. is a “debtor” nation, running a merchandise trade deficit. However,
the merchandise trade deficit refers only to imports and exports of goods and services. It
shows that imports are greater than exports, hence the “deficit.” But, think about it for a
minute, why does the world keep giving us goods, without getting goods from us in
return? Is this a good deal or what? Well, clearly, this can’t be the whole story.

>What is happening is that the people from whom we buy goods abroad are taking our
dollars investing in the U.S. economy. They may buy U.S. government debt (securities
issued by the U.S. government to finance past federal budget deficits) or other assets in
the U.S. For example, they may invest in U.S. companies.

Pre-pandemic some cities/kantons here in Switzerland wanted to make public transportation free (we’re still recovering from running trains and transport essentially empty for a couple of years).

However the Swiss constitution says that people have to be charged a “reasonable” fee for public transportation. It was probably meant to make it so they can’t be overcharged. But it’s been also interpreted that there has to be a minimum charge - thus no free transport.

Biden kept Trump’s first term tariffs, so there is no guarantee they will go away.

And many other countries, e.g. Canada, won’t just make up with the US after Trump is gone.
Over the period since the 1960s, look at education, medicine, housing, not food.

For food prices, look at the most recent 5-year timescale, where price increases are reported to be on the order of 30% for American consumers. [1]

Can someone explain how tariffs aren’t both a tax and inflation, all rolled in to one? These are two of the most toxic words in politics and yet those most allergic to them are relatively quiet.

Those aren't the release notes for the native python thing being announced. CuTile has not been publicly released yet. Based on what the devs are saying on Twitter it probably won't be released before the SciPy 2025 conference in July.

>This is maybe more striking when comparing against C which was already very old and battle tested in 1989 when it was standardized. If you pick any of these languages you're accepting an unknowable amount of churn.

C has plenty of issues too, even though it is very old, battle tested and standardized.

(How about all the UB in C, for example?)

That is why people are looking for C alternatives in the first place.

>It better be worth it.

It better be worth it for C too (and for C3; pun unintended but evaluated).
I only know Sierra because they published Half-life. P&C adventure games were already dying in 1998.
Those statements are marketing and/or propaganda, and their logic don't match up to the actions that were taken:

- Both countries with trade surpluses and deficits were all tariffed -- therefore this is not about re-balancing trade.

- Inputs required for on-shoring were all tariffed -- therefore this isn't about bringing manufacturing on-shore.

- Both geopolitical rivals and allies were all tariffed -- therefore this isn't about defence. (Russia was specifically excluded!)

- Only "goods" were factored into the calculation, services were not, despite being the major US export, making this very unfair to countries that export goods and import services -- therefore this isn't about trade policy becoming more fair.

Etc...

Just yesterday I was debating the supposed benefits of the tariffs with a conservative friend of mine, and it was the same problem: They couldn't draw an arrow between "enact sweeping tariffs" and "... profit".

Every country for the history of the world that has enacted sweeping tariffs has suffered for it, every time.

Protectionism like this causes domestic industries to become inefficient because they don't have to compete on a level playing field against foreign products.

-- The Trump administration's answer to this is simply: "No it won't!", without any stated reason.

Blanket tariffs reduces the efficiency of on-shore businesses, because they are penalised for buying from more efficient foreign sources of inputs that can't be made locally. Here on HN people mentioned coffee, chocolate, olive oil, avocados, and other food products that require specific climates. Similar logic applies to many other inputs, such as industrial robots (Germany), lithography machines (Netherlands), rare earths (China), etc, etc...

-- The Trump administration's answer to this is simply: "No it won't!", without any stated reason.

The people behind this keep drawing a couple of circles and waving their hands while proclaiming that drawing the rest of the owl is easy.

Okay. Show me a drawing of the rest of the fucking owl.

One of America's largest trading partners (6th largest import market) so there's that.

Furthermore, India is also working on announcing a Bilateral Trade Agreement with the US before the QUAD Summit in October (https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-04-03/trump-pil...)

Other large countries also have delegations in the midst of negotiations already - like SK (https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-04-03/south-kor...).

The EU has also started negotiating (https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-04-04/eu-begins...)

And Canada and Mexico remain under NAFTA/USMCA.

Tl;dr - most of America's largest trading partners are in the midst of negotiations or exempt.

This isn't accurate.

He, being a guy quite literally facing prison time if he didn't win, promised untold riches for all Americans if he won. An era of prosperity. That everything would be nothing but greatness from a newly respected super power.

I mean...anyone with any reason knew it was outrageous nonsense, of the worst sort of political puffery. Basically a cliche of the worst political nonsense.

He and his supplicants started the "okay, maybe things will be bad for a while" weeks after his inauguration when it was blatantly obvious that it was all ridiculous lies. His supplicants are now talking about how Americans should feel empowered going without goods and luxuries.

That's the thing about liars. It's like with DOGE starting by getting the cult all excited about the imaginary $5000 cheque they would all get from all those easy savings, but after a few months, when it is blatantly obvious that the deficit has gone up (and thus far there have been exactly 0 cases of fraud found), there'll be a different tune. Same thing about his team of cybercriminal misfits who claim they're going to super rewrite everything -- anyone who has worked in this field long enough have had to endure incompetent clowns like that, and six months in we'll hear a list of "why the code they inherited was the worst code in the world, and..."
There's a common abuse of language that the ancestor comment uses, where we also use the names of colors for the wavelength of the pure light that we perceive them as; perhaps they could have been more specific about that. Hence because of this abuse of terminology we have words like infrared and ultraviolet to refer to spectra beyond human color perception, but are so called for their relation to the particular pure wavelengths that we perceive as red and violet.
Meh, they're just complaining because it's cool to whine about AirBNB online these days, US based AirBNB has had this feature for quite awhile now.
Hahaha--no. Such a devious long-term plan wouldn't be taxing specific US military bases or populations of penguins, for starters.

I see such a huge outpouring of energy being spent right now trying to develop mutually-incompatible 4D chess explanations for Trump taking a dump onto the chessboard, borne from different flavors of denial.

For some, it's because the first rule of Cult Club is that the cult-leader can't be fallible. For others, it's because they don't want to believe that stupidity sometimes wins.

> If I were going to disrupt AirBNB, I'd offer hosts a better percentage with the requirement that the experience is standardized and high-quality.

This is an interesting idea, but it puts the quality level way above what I want to pay for. Hotels are anti-septic and cold. I like staying in an apartment that feels like someone actually lives there. I don't mind a few dust-bunnies under the couch, nor a little dirt behind the toilet. It's even better when the kitchen is fully stocked, including a selection of non-perishable food (think cooking oil, salt, pepper, maybe a bag of ground coffee and a box of pasta.) Sure, the sheets and towels should be freshly laundered, but beyond that, I don't want much.

AirBNB allowed me to pay less to get a more human-feeling space. Hotels are like McDonalds, they are designed for the regular customer who wants to get that Hilton-feeling, regardless of if they are in Wichita or Cairo. I want to feel like I'm in Cairo, and if that means that I'm in a mud brick house with a single bathroom, no A/C, and no daily housekeeping that's great! AirBNB opened those worlds to us as travelers, in a way that hotel chains never did.
Machine Learning Systems
I don't think it has anything to do with being right wing -- Rand despised and was despised by much of the right wing -- but more to do with her traditionalist method of doing philosophy. I'd even call it Russian-influenced. I think Rand approached her philosophy from a literary perspective, and viewed her philosophy as a grand treatise that addressed every important aspect... an entire philosophical system. The overbearing rigidity and confidence sprung from this. It is very 19th-century in feel.

It is very different from a modern, more scientific approach, where we would view the system as a work in progress which would be refined over time. It would have been better for Rand to say about (for instance) free will, "it may function this way" or "we can make at least these statements about it", but I think Rand was not constitutionally able to couch her beliefs with qualifiers. It hurt her philosophical arguments, while at the same time perhaps made her a more interesting author.

I'm not an Objectivist, despite being sympathetic, because Rand created it and wouldn't agree that I was one. The reason is because I would tweak her philosophy. I'd incorporate some Bayesian probabilistic arguments into her metaphysics and epistemology, which she would despise. I'd modify her ethics with findings from game theory. I'd fold insights from cellular automata and chaos theory into her philosophy of consciousness. The broad swaths would be mostly the same, but it would no longer by Ayn Rand's Objectivism (tm).
IMO, the most important UX features for anchor links is that you should be able to send them to other people (and save them via bookmarks).

Say that you find yourself needing to check the "Control code table" section of the Wikipedia ASCII article from time to time (for some reason). Being able to bookmark that specific section[1] is much more convenient than having to always start from the top of the page[2] and then scroll down (or click some on some anchor link) to get where you actually want to go.

This thirty-five website doesn't seem to offer that functionality because it doesn't use #anchor-name URLs.

Insane that they allow that. Maybe it's an option the host can set on the listing?

Booking, as far as I know, straight up doesn't allow hosts to cancel. Recently, a host sent me a message begging me to cancel my booking because they really couldn't be there to receive me.
Developing countries should absolutely get the standard set of antibiotics.

Formulas for "antibiotics of last resort" (I would consider a newly designed one in this category) should not be sent to Pharma companies of these countries, rather, the antibiotics should be pre-dosed and mailed over from a country who can maintain the integrity of the formula in a limited fashion to keep their effectiveness high so they can continue to serve patients years into the future.

It sucks, but we've watched antibiotics be abused so badly that babies are born into hospitals where they catch resistant infections nearly right after childbirth. I blame the antibiotics-for-every-cough medical practices common in some countries (I've seen this happen myself!)

Interesting, I didn't know that! I didn't know him until the 90s, and didn't meet him in person until his CodeCon presentation.

What I was trying to express—perhaps poorly—is that maybe floating-point support would have been more effort than the entire Integer BASIC. (Incidentally, as I understand it, nobody has found a bug in Apple Integer BASIC yet, which makes it a nontrivial achievement from my point of view.)
