> I actually want the market to decide that. But that is fundamentally what we do not have. It has been more or less the result of conscious trade policy (by all governments involved) to incentivize production in other countries.

But that is The Market™ deciding that.

The American (and other) consumer wants cheap(er) stuff. The way to get that, while also allowing companies to have a profit margin, is to lower input costs—one of which is labour. So the consideration of desired low retail prices and margins have The Market deciding to move production to lower-wage areas.

And "lower" wage is relative: it is lower than what Americans/whomever would perhaps be willing to work for, but the wages may be pretty good for the location where the work is being done.

If you personally are willing to pay more for (perceived?) "quality" of 'Made in the USA' (or wherever), then there may be market for products in that market segment. But not everyone may want, or have the resources, to partake in that higher-price segment. Why should they have to pay more? One can buy a DeWalt or Ryobi or Harbor Freight drill: why should be forced to by DeWalt prices if all they need/want is HF?
Iran can’t trade with the US, other than some pottery and crafts, which amount for a million/year tops. Same with Russia - it’s not on the tariffs list, but it doesn’t need to be anyway. It’s good shock value, gets everyone talking about that

I don’t think any of this will work favorably to the US, just trying to think what their internal logic might be. The econ guys (Bessent & the other one the name escapes me) wrote a lot about this “3 step plan” in the past few years. So far they’re playing the step 1 exactly as written…

Presumably the battery network would have insurance and would factor that into the cost.

(I’d expect that all-in, this gets a lot closer to the cost of a gasoline fill-up. My current charging costs are far lower than the equivalent cost to fill up with gasoline, but my primary interest in this is environmental. I’ll take the lower cost while I can get it, but I don’t expect it to last forever.)

The way you've described it, charging at your home takes 8+ hours. You can do other tasks in parallel, so the effective cost to you is 6 seconds but that doesn't change how long it takes to charge your vehicle.

There are many use cases where charging at home is not an option, in which case understanding charging time becomes an important factor.

I like mathematics and engineering, which is why I like to understand basic facts to better address an issue rather than contort facts to dismiss an issue.

I honestly don't know. I'm in the same place as you: not a web server expert. But I did spend a bunch of time in security a while ago, so maybe it's my own bias to be sceptical of anyone who casually suggests building and implementing their own boundary security solutions.

As well as that, the idea that the language any software is written in is largely irrelevant, especially in the context of performance, is not at all obvious or intuitive to me. I get that it would look that way if you reduce a web server down its core functionality. But that also is a common mistake in educated but inexperienced early career software engineers.

I don't know this stuff, but I know enough to know how well I don't know this stuff. I'm trying to work out if the stuff I'm reading is from someone who I should learn from, or if it's from someone with a lot of confidence but limited experience. It could be either, I'm sincerely on the fence, but a git repo of their web server would help clear it up for me personally.

> Is it really more complicated than that?

I can't say without really doing a thorough review. Even if regorus is 100% reliable rules engine, my understanding is it's a rules engine. I assume there's still a bunch of custom integration needed to manage and source the rules, feed them to the engine, and then implement the result effectively and safely across the web server. It can be done quickly and easily, but to consider everything and be confident it's done correctly and securely? I don't think that can be done trivially by the average human without some compromise.
> When you do need to stop on a road trip, you can use fast charging, which is ~250 kW, so somewhere around a quarter of the gas pump’s “wattage.” You’ll probably want to use the bathroom/buy a drink anyway, so charging taking four-ish times as long as pumping isn’t really a big deal.

Yeah, no.

My gasoline car gets ~400 miles to a tank. Well, more than that: 400 miles is effectively the "no matter the circumstances [that cause gas mileage to be sapped], I can always guarantee making it at least that," not like EVs where the range number tends to be more of an aspiration than a reality. Admittedly, I have a small sedan which gets ~40mpg on the highway, but it takes less than 2 minutes to fill it up at the gas pump (about 100s IIRC, I did actually time it). Even derating for less fuel-efficient cars, you're comfortably extending your range by > 100 miles/minute of charging.

The EV charging, by contrast, is going to run something like 200 miles/20 minutes. That's a multiplier closer to 10×, not 4×; it makes the time you need to stop to charge it much more considerable.

But the range issue means I now have to slot an extra major stop. Sure, I can fill up during lunch. But that isn't enough to get me to my destination--I still have 5-6 hours of driving after lunch (sometimes more, since I like to take early lunches to avoid crowds). That extra stop takes longer than all of my bathroom breaks on the trip, combined. That's a not-insignificant amount of extra time on my trip.

The other consideration is that, if you're trying to tell people to overlap charging with lunch, well have you seen how crowded the travel plazas get on a busy travel day? They can get so packed that every parking space is taken up. The fill-up-while-you-eat rule suggests that pretty much every single one of those parking spaces needs a charger, most of which don't have the room for a charger as it stands.
Probably because both anthropic and openai were on the whole AGI train where they were trying to heavily personify their products.

Google never seemed to personify theirs, IIRC. They always presented their AI tools in a utilitarian way.
“Extremely” is subjective. But research[1] says almost 50% of the population has engaged in BDSM, another 13% fantasizes about it, and 12% engages in it regularly.

I’d call that extremely common, far more common than skateboarding or sports cars, but YMMV may vary in definition of “extremely”.

The problem is that doctors tend to lose empathy, well not just doctors, most professionals.

Your second point is spot on though. A doctor that suffered the disease or has seen it first hand will approach it differently.
I'm not an economist, and my statistics background is definitely sub-par. But as I read this article, I couldn't help feeling something was off. For something of this importance, I would think the author would want to avoid mangling words like this:

"To calculate reciprocal tariffs, import and export data from the U.S. Census Bureau for 2024."

I am also not familiar with the term "censoring" as it is used in statistics, so this sentence really threw me:

"The reciprocal tariffs were left-censored at zero."

Does that just mean that they didn't set any negative reciprocal tariffs? I thought the reciprocal tariffs were limited to 10% and above. I don't understand.

The other thing that tickles my brain is how the author uses an equation to effect change in the real world. The math is a model of the behavior of trade between nations, which is fine, so long as it doesn't assume the reliability of, say, physical laws of kinematics. Arbitrarily manipulating quantities in an equation like this and assuming it will still hold is a bold move.

I feel like our entire country is the subject of an undergraduate economics project.
> This tool doesn't really create sparklines, but it does create small charts

The gif at the top doesn’t demonstrate everything included. From the text:

“There are currently three variations: bars, dots, and dot-lines (line charts with tiny dots at the joints between segments), each of which has five weight variants.”

See also their examples page: https://beta.observablehq.com/@tomgp/after-the-flood-i-spark...

I’d call delivery as ligatures a trade-off. Much easier to make it scale with text on the web when embedded inline, it’ll match the text colour for free, and the underlying numeric data are trivially retrievable and machine-readable. Compare the example on the Sparkline wikipedia page, which don’t scale with the text and are almost invisible when using their own dark mode.
Orwell’s Reflections on the Spanish War[0] has a good quote about this which feels particularly salient in light of the tariffs:

> Against that shifting phantasmagoric world in which black may be white tomorrow and yesterday’s weather can be changed by decree, there are in reality only two safeguards. One is that however much you deny the truth, the truth goes on existing, as it were, behind your back, and you consequently can’t violate it in ways that impair military efficiency. The other is that so long as some parts of the earth remain unconquered, the liberal tradition can be kept alive.

Agreed that Musk would have been vastly better off with Harris, but I think his actions are purely reactive. It's not his fault that Harris lost. He's just trying to make lemonade, having seen early on that life was about to hand us all a lemon. For every normal person who refuses to buy a Tesla, he has to sell one to a MAGA cultist, and that is never going to happen.

The fact that his "lemonade" tastes suspiciously like pee is his fault, though.

it is even more dire - transport of gas - imagine hurricane, tornado damages, pipelines, electric supply for gas pump pumps... good luck with pumping gas without electricity, or i remember 8 hour queue before hurricane in front of gas station for some reason...

with PV on roof you do not need to transport anything from anywhere, charge and be functional. not even talking about house comfort while literally everyone around you is panicking, because of lack of electricity. ( you can connect 200watt inverter to your outlet to help "pace" ongrid inverter to work in offrgid situation, so yes all PV can do offgrid for 30 bucks on top)

> everyone thought "the economy" was bad for the last four years at the same time as they answered surveys saying they personally were doing great

Most of HN would rationally answer a survey that way. High paid tech job, flexible hours, good benefits. But also informed enough to know that many others are struggling and financially insecure.

Depending on how the questions were asked, even a person barely getting by might respond that they were personally doing OK (employed, insured, able to pay rent and groceries) while knowing that the economic situation for their friends, family, neighbors was rough and knowing that if they got laid off tomorrow that they'd struggle to find an equivalent replacement job.
Why was it not sustainable? Clearly the houses were there, and the non-working spouses, and the car and the children...
There is zero chance of that happening. None. Zilch.

There is no deal to be had here. Trump wanted to impose the largest tax hike in history to pay for massive tax cuts for your plutocrats. Everything else is bullshit.

In a couple of months Trump has firmly destroyed US leadership, and absolutely cemented China's ascendancy. All of the ridiculously specious "it's actually 4D chess and what he's really doing are..." is a riot in the context of the pure unadulterated stupidity coming from this administration.

Once you get to the 5+ year timespan you start running into xG transitions, and modularity won't realistically be enough for phones to bypass those leaps (certification alone ensures that).

You walked back OPs statement there as well. 5 years is very different than 10-20 years. I'd wager most think that phones designed to last 5 years is perfectly reasonable.

Did not have to read this, not that I could get into it :)

Anyway, Trump is handing the economic world to China. Many countries Trump alienated will probably replace much US trade with Chinese and other east Asian Countries.

Already you see Canada and the EU moving closer together, I am sure China is hanging around and will eventually get an "in". Makes me wonder how this will impact the USD as the world's reserve currency. If the USD is dropped, we are in for a lot of hurt.

So as MAGA people use to say about Biden, "Thanks Trump".
I’m a bit behind where you are with my side businesses, and the way I feel about them is more acutely aware of the time tradeoff I have to make to work on them.

To side hustle on my job board, I have to give up hanging out with my kid.

That’s just not a trade I’ve felt like making recently.

On top of that, I just changed jobs, and got a very appreciable salary bump for it. It makes the grind of the side business seem pretty paltry in comparison: the returns on my main career track are just so much bigger thanks to my compounding experience and skill there.

Key word being „among the rich“.
Reminds me of a book I just read, The Lifespan of a Fact. Solid read going into fact checking versus telling a story and figuring out where the line should be. Definitely entertaining.
In terms of side projects, I’ve deliberately curated a smaller set that meets multiple criteria. Social connection, simplicity and elegance, and the ability to start and stop at will.

At work I am always looking for ways to do more than one thing at once. Learn a new skill. Teach something. Solve a small problem. Make myself feel good. Take the solution to the next level.

I think it’s okay to want to always be honing and advancing. Humans are always seeking lower energy paths. Maybe you just need to expand the scope of the skills you’re seeking. One of the most valuable skills in my work is the ability to stop and think about what I’m actually trying to do. That is honed through stopping and observing (meditation).
Nevertheless the meaning is clear, and it serves to illustrate their point about reduction in cloud cover.
Hmmm the puzzle last day or so was refined [1] ... However this time around it's clear that the puzzle is in the realm of non euclidean maths, since the bottom left side of the explanatory sketch, placers a right angle and two red angles of 54.74 making a triangle on the face of the cuboid -- 3 internal angles of 90 + 54.74 +54.74 is greater than 180 degrees. Euclidean geometry on the other hand, the internal angles of a triangle sum to equal 180.

Thanks for putting that in writing. It's funny how I was expecting you to tell me about something very different from my approach to coding, but your explanation actually really resonated with how I think of it. My mind isn't as visual, but it's also very nonlinear, with me often dragging (option + up/down in VS Code) chunks around until they best fit with the code "story" I have inside my head. And I also tend to spend a lot of time to figure out just the appropriate variable naming, and sometimes change the names after moving the code around, attempting to have the code make more sense when read in order.

I quite like your idea of jumping across functions living independently rather than in files, and agree that a future AR approach for this is likely the way to go. I'd be very interested in something that's like the Minority Report interface, or even better, being able to visualize the code as being in a fully 3d space that I could navigate around (rather than having it come to me).

The git editor you showed looks neat, but I can't imagine myself using it. On a related note though, I quite liked the interface of the game TIS-100 and am wondering if there could be a professional version of that.

But zooming back out, I still can't seem to imagine programming as an activity being done entirely without text (or a pictorial equivalent), and would thus still argue that it is during this act of "translation" of pre-verbal neural activity to language that the program is created, perhaps especially because of how non-linear this process is.

P.S.
What's the "no more than 7 rule"? I don't recall ever hearing of that, and can't seem to find any online sources. Is it about the 7±2 chunk limit on short-term memory?

It's only ethical because we have no power to prevent their death. If research could be done that looked likely to extend lives, but we chose not to because we'd rather people die earlier, that's equivalent to stealthily killing them. We might as well be upfront about it, and have them slain for being too old, except then they'd tend to resist.

> am this close to accepting the argument that the people on 'the left' need to be treated that exact way you described

Yup, I’ve lost patience with the far left as well. This is in practice happening with e.g. nutters who openly supported Hamas, though as these things always go, the only people actually willing to do this to people go too far both in their metric and treatment. (The left, to its credit, was never deporting people for their views.)

Yes. I spent too much time treating everyone’s views as valid. The paradox of tolerance is real, and if someone insists on being an idiot I’m basically at the point of taking them at their word.

It’s not. It’s do not put this person in a position of responsibility or visibility. They can make a livelihood. It just shouldn’t be one from which they do harm.

The story was true is your takeaway? A key piece of the article is that Rob Schmitz of Marketplace listened, thought something was off, and after digging found 13 lies in the story:

Workers suffering from chemical poisoning? “No. Nobody mentioned n-hexane.” The man with the gnarled hand. “No, this is not true. Very emotional. But not true.

This American Life abso-fudging-lutely is intending to tell true stories. The fact that the audio medium has an emotional impact does not by itself push the medium into fiction, which is a completely wild extrapolation to be making.
