I think Tcl as it was back then especially would have been a terrible DOM manipulation choice. I love the language but the hacks frameworks like openacs used to use to imitate basic stuff like a list of database records are among the ugliest upvar/up level hacks I've seen.

But that being said it's an incredibly adaptable language and I have zero doubt it could have been adapted to make DOM manipulation ergonomic.

So honest question: A bunch of people who currently own stock are deciding they'd rather have cash instead -- that much is obvious.

But what exactly are they doing with the cash?

Don't want to hold onto it, everyone says devaluation and inflation is coming.

I can't speak for every platform but when I was working with frequent photo posts, most in-camera or post-editing metadata was stripped out on instagram and facebook. Some smaller sites like Gab didn't seem to mess with it as much, but the bulk did. I wouldn't be surprised if all of the other big ones did, too.

It was incredibly disheartening to have no recourse to attribute my own work, other than to smear some gross watermark on it. The automatic removal of that metadata, along with AI image generation, are some of the reasons why I gave up on the hobby entirely.

It's incredibly hard and stressful to derive any sort of pleasure or interest from something when the second it's exposed to the internet, any sense of humanity you tried to attach to it is stripped away, burned, and commercialized for the monetary benefit of some ethereal financier. It's the sound of an invisible vacuum cleaner, whisking away any sense of joy or life you wanted to share with the world for common love; the death of sharing. For-pay hugs.

One thing to note when comparing imports to spending. Import numbers are based on the commercial invoice value (i.e., how much it cost to produce) while spending is based on the sale price. So it's an...apples and oranges comparison. But I agree with the broader point that a lot of what we eat is produced here (especially meat).

US manufacturing output is at an all-time high. It doesn't feel that way because there aren't as many jobs involved. I understand you're not actually arguing this, just speculating, but, "we need to boost manufacturing capability" isn't a convincing argument.

In the presentation they said eventually kernels can share SIMT (PTX) and TileIR but not at launch. It seems pretty mysterious why they don't just emit PTX, I would guess they are either taking the opportunity to clean things up for ML tensorcore workloads or there is some HW specific features coming that they only want to enable through TileIR.
WAI. Trump is crashing the T-note yield to refinance $9T (which is how much US debt is going to mature in 2025) at a lower rate. That, for those of us who know arithmetic, is approximately one quarter of all US debt. It seems to be working.

> What makes you think anyone is operating other than according to law?

The fact that they are not complying with the law.
The belief of Trump and his allies is that the last 40 years of free trade has been extremely favorable to college educated "elites" and extremely unfavorable to the working class. They see foreign trade as having hollowed out American manufacturing, and therefore they see the shutting down foreign trade as a way to reverse this decline. While they are aware that doing so will hurt college educated professionals, they don't care because they feel those people have had it too good for too long.
If I had $1000 in cash, and inflation hits 10%, the purchasing power is equivalent to (1000 / 1.1 = ~$909) in 2026.

If I had the same $1000 in stock, and it lost 11% of its value in 2 days, I might worry about it being worth close to $0 by the end of the month.
Inflation only happens if the US starts paying down the debt -- locking up the tariff money in interest payments. Otherwise, there's fundamentally no increase in the supply of money. I'm guessing there still will be inflation for consumers, especially seeing as most don't have the funds to invest in bonds.

I support putting tariffs on foreign nations (a) to the degree a nation 'undercuts' America by exploiting foreign workers, and (b) providing the tariffs be gradually introduced so as not to cause mayhem.

Those two stipulations would preserve America's reputation as a good global citizen, and would promote better conditions in the USA and the world.

The Trump tariffs meet neither of those stipulations.

In the long run it could lead to more fair trade deals.

Today’s episode of Newshour at the BBC World Service had a conversation between a BBC journalist and a German CDU politician where they talked about how the tariffs on cars from Germany entering America has historically been lower than the tariffs on cars from America entering Germany. The CDU politician was telling the BBC that he hoped maybe a resolution for all of this would be both America and Europe lowering their tariffs to zero.

That was the hope of that politician in the long run though. In the short run the politician was in a sad mood because he felt things economically are going to be bad for everybody.

2024 paper (40 pages) by Stephen Miran, current chair of the Council of Economic Advisers, which has influenced tariff policy, https://www.hudsonbaycapital.com/documents/FG/hudsonbay/rese...

The root of the economic imbalances lies in persistent dollar overvaluation that prevents the balancing of international trade, and this overvaluation is driven by inelastic demand for reserve assets. As global GDP grows, it becomes increasingly burdensome for the United States to finance the provision of reserve assets and the defense umbrella, as the manufacturing and tradeable sectors bear the brunt of the costs... Tariffs provide revenue, and if offset by currency adjustments, present minimal inflationary or otherwise adverse side effects.. Finally, I discuss a variety of financial market consequences of these policy tools, and possible sequencing.

blog review/opinion, https://simplicius76.substack.com/p/trumps-liberation-day-an...

> One of the core tenets of the document is the deliberate devaluation of the US dollar in order to make US exports favorable again.. a country which holds the world’s reserve currency faces a significant dilemma.. to keep its currency as reserve status—and reap all the geopolitical benefits this creates—the country must hamstring its own economic output by running a huge trade deficit, which means the country imports far more than it exports, which hurts—or in the case of the US, kills—domestic manufacturing.

>... if a French person buys a $50K Ford truck and imports it to France, that’s $50K USD that leaves France and goes back to the US, lowering France’s dollar holdings. If an American buys a $50K French Peugeot to import it to the US, he sends his $50K USD to France, which increases its dollar holdings.. to maintain the dollar’s reserve status.. US dollars are constantly flooding the world.. running a massive trade deficit where imports of foreign goods (outflow of USD) far outweigh exports of domestic goods (inflow of USD).
Oh, interesting, what do you get when you specify that the letters need to be reversed, too? (That was what I meant and the original prompt explicitly stated that requirement. I forgot to include it in the summary of my 'test' here.)
I feel this in a side project way but also in a hobby project way.

Blissful Zen is a great way to put it.

Story: My mother had 2 of her 3 dogs die on the same day. We buried them in the backyard as we have many little friends before them. This was the first time I dug the graves (my dad had always beared that -- but he passed away last year).

The grave soil was very clay rich. I had recently seen a video on how to reclaim natural clay. It was very rewarding to turn the natural clay into workable clay.

But the real challenge -- how to fire it? I saw guys using charcoal and bricks in their driveway but that can't get hot enough.

So the real Zen has been building an electric kiln from scratch. It is a simple-ish problem with a whole lot of simplish steps. Perfect to keep my mind occupied when it needs to be. I have also learned an amazing amount (about clay, pottery, kilns, Arduino/ESP32, thermocouples, resistance wire, refractory cement, insulation, electrical code, weird soldering techniques, and many more).

First fire will be tomorrow.
On the bright side, this may be a good opportunity to convert 401(K) or IRA funds into a ROTH account.
I feel like you could support hot-plug, discovery, and bit errors with a protocol orders of magnitude simpler than USB, something you could bitbang on an ATTiny45. (And without Neywiny's list: 'bit ordering, half-duplex, the 4 modes, chip select to first clock setup times, bits per word, "strobing" nCS between words.' Those incompatibilities are mostly just people taking shortcuts.) And, unless you're talking about USB-C PD, which isn't involved here, the power-supply question isn't really related to the software complexity; it's just a question of making the power and ground traces on the USB-A plug (and the corresponding parts of other connectors) longer than the data traces so they make contact first.

You couldn't make it quite as simple as (a given flavor of) SPI, but something close to I²C should be feasible.
this resonates.

"consumption-to-creation ratio" are words i've never put to that positive feeling of choosing to code over watching another TV show or the negative feeling of the alternative choice.

If you want someone talking intellectually about the global trade situation, Oren Cass’ interview with Jon Stewart was pretty good.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vgEQeLR-M0g

But I do think that a logical assessment undervalues the notion that this is an emotional/intuitive. I don’t think Oren Cass’ very interesting intellectualization of the problem will actually help you predict what Trump will do.

But in the emotional piece - He’s talked endlessly about how America is getting screwed, and his tariff calculation was based pretty directly on trade deficit calculations.

I wouldn't say its good for anyone, but it is probably worse for many of our trading partners so they would, in theory, make moves to negotiate with the US to skirt the tariffs. I don't think it will ultimately have been worth it in the end but time will tell.
I think less 4d chess and more Erlich Bachman school of negotiation. Bullying people in inferior bargaining positions has somehow worked thus far.

My best understanding of the administration's psyche is that they're determined to have more manufacturing happen in the US - regardless of the economic impact.

It still doesn't make sense though - there's a reason sneaker makers like to have kids in places like Vietnam make shoes for a few cents per hour. It's because no one in the US would work gruelling hours for such little pay!

POTUS wants to 'level the field' but I'm not convinced it's dawned on him that as leader of one of the wealthiest nations on Earth, 'levelling' will mean the US getting poorer.
But they were supposed to eat other people’s faces. You know THOSE people.
I think that those in command are also waiting for the next President to undo all that but it is going to have a tremendous effect for a decade or more. Hopefully for the US they won't go in a similar crisis like the UK is going through...

Cutting off countries like Japan or Taiwan like that when we know their geopolitical situation with China and how critical their economy is to the US is quite crazy.

Good. Silicon Valley collectively sold their souls to Saudi Arabia, and put their full weight behind Trump because that’s what Saudi Arabia wanted, and now they are gonna get what they deserve. I hope their wealth is destroyed to the point of needing to care about Social Security and Medicare.
Sure, pay more for shoes, and have a chance at going back to a world where small towns are prosperous and thriving, people can buy homes in their 20s, quality isn't constantly declining, people aren't constantly stressed over losing their jobs because the last quarter's results 'failed to meet expectations', and families can get by with one wage-earner. All this human happiness and thriving destroyed by globalization, so creatures like Phil Knight can get very very rich.

So again, I've no idea whether the tariffs will work, and on paper I'm quite a bit poorer than I was a week ago, but the current regime must be smashed.
That's not my thinking but it aligns with his practice, especially considering his buddy's interesting hand gestures. Caucasian people are set to become a minority in a lot of their traditional countries pretty soon, and race is potentially going to become extremely heated imo to the point of constant brazen violence.

The only positive outcome I can think of is that T and co are trying to scare trading partners into lowering their tariffs in response. Assuming that happens to some degree, T will revert his and then take credit. Then the market will return as well, and we all head off into the sunset.

Likely why it is happening so early in the admin, so we can all forget about it by the end.
If the U.S. killed and imprisoned people at the rate of El Salvador, without due process and essentially at the word of mouth of random people in the community, you’d be running to the hills. Crazy that this far into Trumps disaster and people still want right wing fascist dictatorship. You might get what you want, god help us all.
It's amusing that people don't understand what Trump and his team are doing and to watch Canadians and Europeans running like headless chickens. Not all change can happen gradually - often (like in Orthopedy) things need to be broken to grow healthy again!

Real estate, bonds, foreign stocks, oil. There's a billion options out there. Or they can just sit and wait. Losing for a bit of inflation is better than losing 20-30% in a recession.
I think that's the belief of his voters in the Upper Midwest, but not necessarily Trump himself. He's the college-educated elite. He's playing them like a fiddle. He knows that they will absorb the damage from this, not the elites, who are far more connected than they are college educated.

> virtually guaranteed!

I feel like you might be confused about the statement. One platform gives 58% odds, the other gives 64% odds. This is obviously high, but also very far from virtually guaranteed. In 100 trials, we’d expect recession in ~60 events. There is no secret math hidden here, it’s just that.
One of the authors here. It's a somewhat nuanced answer. In principle, I think a classical controller would have been fine here and if you read the paper (might be in one of the other papers) we do benchmark a bunch of them. But what's really nice about RL is what it does to the workflow. We can add a sensor, drop a sensor, change the dynamics of the system, and have a functional controller the next day. It trades compute for control engineer time.
On a secondary small point, the dynamics of the cruise control cars are an unpleasant switched system and there's a lot of partial observability, we never fully sense the traffic state, we didn't even have direct measurements of the distance to the car in front, and the individual car control decisions are coupled to macroscopic effects on the system i.e. since all the cars have the same policy their decisions actually affect the traffic flow. So, it's not a trivial control design problem at all.
Manufacturing is not a good argument. Manufacturing output is at all time highs.
