> it all rests on (relatively) simple mathematics. We know this is true. We also know that means it has limitations and can't actually reason information.

What do you imagine is happening inside biological minds that enables reasoning that is something different to, a lot of, "simple mathematics"?

You state that because it is built up of simple mathematics it cannot be reasoning, but this does not follow at all, unless you can posit some other mechanism that gives rise to intelligence and reasoning that is not able to be modelled mathematically.

You're right that "progressive" technically refers to how tax burdens increase with income, and by that measure, the U.S. looks progressive because high earners pay a large share. But that doesn’t mean the system is actually effective at reducing inequality.

What matters is outcomes, and the U.S. system—compared to other developed nations—does far less to redistribute wealth or fund robust public services. Other countries raise more revenue overall (often through broader-based taxes like VAT), and they spend it more equitably. So yes, technically progressive—but practically insufficient.
> Others have suggested the Switch 2 is one of the best endorsements for buying a Steam Deck.

If Nintendo charges $80 for games, this will normalize it, so everyone else will too. It won't be a difference between the consoles for long. The console, from the footage they've shown off, seems more powerful than the Deck, if the Cyberpunk footage is authentic.

Meanwhile, a detachable controller has already been their single leg up on Steam Deck, and now it's also a detachable mouse. This will actually be a better experience than the Deck (assuming the mouse doesn't hurt your hand). The Deck has best-in-class controller support as well as touchpads, but if the game does not seamlessly support simultaneous controller and KBM inputs, then you have to either map the touchpad to a control stick and deal with curving which sucks, or map all the buttons to keys and the left stick to WASD, and sticks for non-analog input also sucks. Whereas on the Switch, the mouse is just a mouse.
"because we're exploiting poorer people in markets with fewer worker protections and fewer environmental protections"

This can easily be overdone. If you stop doing business with poorer people, you all but guarantee that they stay poor. Counter-productive to say the least.

In my lifetime, I saw a lot of countries grow at least somewhat wealthy from extensive commercial contact with the West, including mine (Czechia).

I had said this somewhere else in the thread as well, but domestic production is a pretty bad idea if success metrics revolve around prices, quantity, or some specific quality metrics.

Where it would potentially be a good approach is if the primary goals are relates to self reliance, sustainability, resilience, etc. I don't think many people actually care about that at the national level though, and our economy as-is almost certainly couldn't allow it.

But that's exactly what these deep neural networks have shown, countless times. LLM's generalize on new data outside of its training set. It's called "zero shot learning" where they can solve problems that are not in their training set.

AlphaGo Zero is another example. AlphaGo Zero mastered Go from scratch, beating professional players with moves it was never trained on

That's an engineering decision, not a fundamental limitation. They could engineer a solution for the model to initiate its own training sequence, if they decide to enable that.

Then they’ve failed to imagine how much more difficult their life will become under excessive tariffs.

It’s also eye-opening to watch so many people in my extended family and social network cheer on DOGE and tariffs right until they impact their own jobs. Lot of people out there didn’t connect the dots about how their own jobs were going to be impacted by tariffs.
I always wonder where people get their confidence from. We know so little about our own cognition, what makes us tick, how consciousness emerges, how about thought processes actually fundamentally work. We don't even know why we dream. Yet people proclaim loudly that X clearly isn't intelligent. Ok, but based on what?
NPR did in their February article about DOGE; their story is ostensibly that out of everything claimed, NPR could verify “only” $2B in cuts which they present as meaningless:

> NPR's analysis found that, of its verifiable work completed so far, DOGE has cut just $2 billion in spending — less than three hundredths of a percent of last fiscal year's federal spending.

> "Think of Congress and its budget as the debt-ridden dad on the way to buy a $250,000 Ferrari on the credit card, and DOGE is the $2 off gas card he used along the way," Riedl said. "It's great that he saved $2 on gas, but I think his wife may be more concerned about the $250,000 car."

Strongly encourage you to learn about their favorite money making concepts of passive income and compound interest. And other various "financial engineering" techniques corporations are engaging in.

I'm sure they are like 1000x more genius that most people but I doubt you could make an argument where a system that rewards this sort of behavior, while contributing absolutely 0 net value to society can also coexist in harmony with the rest of us.

When the most efficient methods of accruing wealth are literally predicated on profiting from doing nothing, they are not the signs of a healthy society.

There’s SSHFP, but it’s off by default and assumes an attacker can’t modify dns, though most mitms would be executed with dns and dnssec deployment is generally a disaster.

Currently their host key page is only linked once at the bottom of their page and isn’t referenced in any onboarding docs, so effectively onboarding encourages “yolo”, and if users aren’t savvy they’re likely putting other things at risk, whatever their keys happen to also have access to.

The other argument that comes up here then is “well mitms are rare so this doesn’t seem like a big problem in practice”, however there are actually great targets here, for example you go to a conference and hijack the WiFi, then spend your time in hallway track advertising these services to your targets. This kind of thing has a high success rate.

The web improves on this problem with PKI, though similar phishing tactics exist in a similar situation where you encourage people to sign up explicitly guiding them to an incorrect domain, but propensity for using search in address bars strongly helps resist this too.

SSH is terrible for this use case, no matter how it makes people feel.

However as you point out there are different types and methods of tax which go to different bins. The IRS filings are the most likely place to have all that together.

*value for taxation* is also really difficult to discern. The report needs to help break down where someone's tax dollars went...

But it also needs to help collectively show how tax dollars _benefit_ them. That one not just in the taxes they paid but overall based on where they are and what they're doing.

That's what OpenNutrition does. However, in many cases, there is no publicly accessible "non-AI data" source to refer to.

> Recognising the flow of a conversation is just pattern recognition. That is what machine learning is good at.

And surprisingly hard to do well in practice. My guess is that the problem is that there is very little information in your training dataset (because only the transition from "talking" to "done talking" matters), but the actual knowledge required to perform well is large (up to and including full speech recognition, in theory). So even with over a terabyte of training data, your choices are a small model that performs badly or a large(r) model that overfits severely.

It's possible there was something I was overlooking when I tried it, though. I couldn't think of a good way to confirm my guess experimentally.
EEA, despite decades of EU efforts, is not a single market. China and India are nowhere near in terms of purchasing power or individual consumption and won't be for decades.
Not exactly the same as this study, but I'll ask questions to LLMs with and without subtle hints to see if it changes the answer and it almost always does. For example, paraphrased:

No hint: "I have an otherwise unused variable that I want to use to record things for the debugger, but I find it's often optimized out. How do I prevent this from happening?"

Answer: 1. Mark it as volatile (...)

Hint: "I have an otherwise unused variable that I want to use to record things for the debugger, but I find it's often optimized out. Can I solve this with the volatile keyword or is that a misconception?"

Answer: Using volatile is a common suggestion to prevent optimizations, but it does not guarantee that an unused variable will not be optimized out. Try (...)

> Every performance ever done has been the performer interpreting the composer’s score and making it their own.

To be fair, there are multiple lines of thought on that matter. Some conductors enjoy "making it their own," while other conductors attempt to discover and reproduce the composer's original intention as closely as possible. Toscanini comes to mind as a historical example of the latter, although I'm sure there are others.

At a certain point, a composer needs to provide information to compose a piece. What if someone wrote a "solo" that just said "improvise" and contained no notes at all? The argument being presented above is that Cage did the tempo equivalent of that. This is a philosophy argument at best, not "people who have no idea what they're talking about."
It's not a long time if you're talking making massive capital investments into things like new factories or capacity.

Your second sentence indicates the more significant problem though, because that uncertainty on timelines makes even the 3-4 year time horizon questionable. Nobody is going to invest anything based on tariffs that may go away or change next week and the only way you can tell if they're sticking around is waiting so long you don't have time to make the investment any more.

It might be different if Trump came in with a clear, transparent tariff plan on day one. But they're already all over the place and being implemented in extremely unpredictable ways. Some people might argue his unpredictability is an asset in general, but it's absolutely not in this case.

Self reliance and resilience, at least to certain pressures, would fit. I don't think many people would be willing to give up cheap electronics and only buy stuff we produce here, but those are reasonable goals even if uncommon.

Environmental concerns would actually fit the bill too, if one is willing to consider externalized costs. Its easy to ignore mining damage in other countries and all the oil burned shipping over the oceans. When that all happens at home people would more acutely feel the costs and may be more likely to fix it.

Again, these workers don't have jobs. When the John Deere factory closes down in your town and moves to Mexico, tariffs sound good even if it's just to punish such companies and the abuse of their workers.

If you're unemployed and living on whatever odd jobs and government assistance you can get, tariffs won't make one bit of difference in your life. Factories may even return, and your life may improve. It's better than just accepting your situation.
