I think that's the nuclear option, at least for China.
There is a lot of data to talk about that's why I linked the video directly in the other comment. Maybe check it out. For the GDP it may not look bad but compared to other countries and especially the US, the UK is going through what we call a "lost decade". Their GDP should be +25% higher than right now... That's just one (huge) metric talked about in the video.
Minor pet-peeve of mine, I really don't like the term "superforecaster". First time I encountered it was in association with some guy who was making predictions a year or two out.

Which to be fair it actually is kind of impressive if someone can make accurate predictions about the future that far head, but only because people are really bad at predicting the future.

Implicitly when I hear "superforecaster" I think they're someone that's really good at predicting the future, but deeper inspection often reveals that "the future" is constrained to the next 2 years. Beyond that they tend to be as bad as any other "futurist".
They do - the EU and UK have 'Digital Services Tax' which predominantly targets US social media giants..
We (Canada) literally signed the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement for trade in 2020... with Donald Trump. Trump this February said "Who would ever sign a thing like this?" and proceeded to make up the story about fentanyl coming from Canada as a pretense to ignore this deal. So there was certainly more than a pinky promise.

Additionally your senate just signed law to repeal the tariffs against Canada specifically so I don't know what other receipts or paperwork you'd like here. Not that I expect Trump to adhere to that of course, but I've never heard the perspective of "well these weren't signed agreements" for things that clearly were.
But the configuration is a whole new project in lua. Saying I’ve being using neovim for a while, have shot myself in the foot a couple of times
The US wasn't even in a crisis until 2025. We weren't in a stellar position (high deficits and debt, low unemployment but high underemployment). It was all recoverable before Trump started this trade war and doing things like cutting departments that actually brought in revenue.
The rich have most of their money in stocks, saying they can lower stocks to buy stocks doesn't make much sense
>Of course I'm sure some people would claim this is 4D chess or what not but.. sometimes the person doing something crazy is just crazy at the end of the day.

It is crazy and it does have some crazy logic. The US trade deficit is well pronounced only on material goods. If you add services, the deficit is much less, if any. The services are produced by the people and states mostly voting Democratic. So, Trump with his tariffs may succeed in causing the EU and others to retaliate against US services, thus damaging blue states and helping (well in his mind) the red states. Trump already did similar hit against blue states with SALT deduction for example, yet it was just a small preview.

The generator doesn't crawl and index your entire website. Instead, for llms.txt, it:

- analyzes your homepage to extract site information
- identifies and categorizes main navigation links
- creates a structured llms.txt file following the specification

This aligns with the llms.txt proposal.

For llms-full.txt, it fetches the content from the links on the homepage. It's a much more complete documentation of your site.

First, that only works for potential biases you already know about and can anticipate, or can spot in the output. If the result is an egregious ripoff or an artist you’ve never heard of, or is the likeness of a model or actor you’re not aware of, how would you know?

Second, it doesn’t create the kind of originality we want. It just limits the kind of unoriginality we are getting.
That's because there's an easy arbitrage. If the prices get out of line with each other, anyone can buy the cheap one, sell the expensive one, and get free money.

Countries can and have under the name of "digital services tax". Generally the rates are low and often only cover a subset of things. The US and tech giants have historically pushed back hard on them. This is a reasonably up to date link to the situation in Europe https://taxfoundation.org/data/all/eu/digital-tax-europe-202... Keep in mind many of those are proposed and not implemented.

The real threat to the US IMO is losing marketshare. The stock market has gotten beat up but most of the real pain for the average person is still off in the horizon. Anti-US sentiment is growing quickly, if we enter a full blown global recession/depression I think it could be a real catalyst for large sudden shifts away from US tech companies.
no, they just like tariff. Listen to trump: he thinks the trade deficit is the fiscal deficit if you listen to the words he actually says
It's different now, since at that time there were no weapons of total annihilation (and now there are quite some).

That's exactly why 'expansionist' regimes were ready to start some next war, being eager "to get some extra land" as a result of said war.

The current war is different: this is the war that started not out of appetite towards foreign lands, but, basically, out of primal fear, the fear concerning safety. The West was failing at self-reflection and was completely oblivious about their own actions being treated as crossing a real red line for Russia's safety.

You may scare a wandering bear away, but driving it into a corner is both stupid and fatal.
1. I don't think that is necessarily so. We can look at the universe we're given for some obvious fundamental physical and mathematical laws. As sure as gravity, bytes can be copied. It's just part of the universe we live in. Legislation in resistance to that requires these complex legal fictions. I don't think all legal fictions are bad; but those that tell a story that plainly contradicts fundamental laws of mathematics seem to always produce unjust outcomes.

2. Of course states can outright ban content, but the facade of protecting the poor artist gives enormous political cover. Saying, "You can't create that content because it is subversive and likely to convince people that the state is superfluous in the internet age" is just a much more honest (and politically impossible) approach - saying instead "you can't create that because it infringers on someone else's property" makes it sound like there's an attempt to serve justice.

3. Can you say more about this?
Lookup VUSXX. It is a vanguard short term treasury fund. That's where I put my cash. It is currently paying 4.24% that is state tax free (I live in Oregon).

Unfortunately it is hard to predict if that rate will stay high enough. Previously I had 'cash' in iBonds which for a while paid 8-9% early in the pandemic when inflation was high. If none of the above pays well enough I look into treasuries, or CDs.

I think we might also find that who is rich and powerful can easily get flipped upside down over night. Being rich is not actually all that hard when law enforcement exists to uphold private property rights. But without rule of law, everything is quite literally up for grabs and might will make right. I hope our business leaders are mulling this fact over and considering whether they have either the force of personality or the physical strength to keep what they currently have in a new regime.

> It's because no one in the US would work gruelling hours for such little pay!

There are entire towns in the US where nearly everyone is unemployed since the manufacturing dried up.

I would happily pay a few more dollars more per sneaker if it meant those people could have a job, and it meant my purchase went toward making someone's life here better.

> levelling' will mean the US getting poorer

It was never about being rich (maybe in a silicon valley bubble it is) but these people need jobs not only to live but for personal fulfillment. The fact that you are contributing positively to society.

Not everyone wants to collect welfare or unemployment and do nothing for the rest of their life. It causes serious mental health issues and why the 'opioid epidemic' has ravaged these small former-manufacturing towns.

People are hungry for work because they want to be part of society.

Lower absolute taxes
So the tariffs were calculated based on dividing goods trade deficit by overall goods trade.

If you run that formula for Canada and Mexico, the number would be LOWER than the tariffs already imposed.

So they had to leave Canada and Mexico off to keep things looking consistent.

> I'm sure some people would claim this is 4D chess

There is some regular 2D chess going on here, but it's not being played by anyone in the US admin. Putin wants to weaken NATO so he can continue expanding. America is a linchpin holding together much of the European alliances and not coincidentally the candidate he helped get elected twice is destroying the US's global standing and weakening the US dollar.

The rebuilding going on in Europe, the increase in European military spending, and the talk about nuclear weapons in Europe is a direct consequence. I don't know if Putin just expected Europe to run around incompetently like the Keystone Cops, but it kind of feels like they're acting quickly and competently without the US.

At any rate, all of this is bringing us much closer to a WWI or WWII style global military conflict.
Yup, that's AI for you. People will talk about vibe coding being crap and stuff and the challenge now is whether your fundamentals are good enough.

Before AI, we'd give template code with the tech stack we're using and expect them to just modify the code. With AI, we let people be more creative and push for things they want to use, as long as they can keep the train on the tracks.

Not everyone gets everything done, but it's a good way to benchmark candidates against each other - someone who gets a third of it done might be worth it if they're taking 1/4 the salary compared to someone who does everything on time.
Coding Is Over. Now What?
I concur RE: «::». For deep levels of nesting, the level of noise that «::» causes becomes excessive.

When Rust was in its infancy, I maintained a local fork for a while where I modified the parser to use the Ada syntax («'», a single apostrophe) for the same purpose. So

std::collections::hash_map::HashMap::entry

became

std'collections'hash_map'HashMap'entry

But I am not convinced that using «.» for two distinct purposes – 1) as a name qualifier, and 2) as a method/data element accessor – is a good idea, for maintaining the semantic clarity is important, i.e. is «e» in «a.b.c.d.e»

1) A method call; or

2) An accessor for a deeply nested data structure.

It is not easy to say whilst just glancing upon the code.
Hey thank you for posting this comment. It’s a very interesting perspective!

I wonder if a factor is that many of these older folks don’t have grandchildren to the extent older folks of previous generations did.

I don’t know what effect that could have but I know it’s a feeling that troubles many baby boomers. They thought their children would have children by now and in many cases that’s not happening. It can lead to a great deal of sadness.

In the end, countries are nuanced enough to understand American political dynamics. They see Orbans, they see Le Pens, they see Trump, and they know what is behind it. I am quite sure that Ukraine did not expect anything else from the Trump faction of the Republican party. His victory was not unlikely and he is a simple creature. If different factions win, they will be eager to work with America again, with less trust and reliance.

Realistically, it is for the best if countries are resilient to US failure. It will make Americans generationally poorer, but the world will be better off for it.
Beyond that--most non-technical people associate "web search" or search engines with Google. There's nothing else to them, even those old enough to remember the 90s/2000s before dominance was established.
You're totally missing the point, but ok.
I feel as if alternative solutions are costly and can price out small businesses from messaging customers.

My local public library uses email to text to send messages about overdue books. While they don't develop their catalog system, I believe that using things like Twilio is costly, and I hope their upstream catalog provider isn't unduly burdened by this. I contract for a small company and we switched to email notifications exclusively since SMS was too expensive.

Maybe this says something about how SMS is the wrong platform to be using, but it looks like business WhatsApp messaging costs money too. I've never recieved spam over email to text.
Perhaps you'd like to give an example, maybe for the UK since all the information will be in English.
> The belief of Trump and his allies

Trump and his allies are all college educated elites.
Not only “in a sense,” but also directly — many of the parent or grandparent LPs to US venture firms are foreign wealth funds, and US tech companies are (by way of our capital markets) held as an investment by many foreign nations (e.g. Norway’s sovereign wealth funds).

So we enrich foreign nations through our technology companies and capital markets. This is to the detriment of our domestic laborers, but it’s a great deal for our top ~30% “laptop class” that earn disproportionately well and have their savings stored in those same markets.
Another one bites the dust.

MMS and email use the same protocol with minor differences under the hood.

Since the FCC abdicated their regulatory power over texting during the first Trump administration under Ajit Pai, T-Mobile, AT&T & Verizon Wireless formed a cartel called The Campaign Registry which has run amok extorting data and cash out of businesses just to be allowed to go through a slow approval process.

Nominally, this was to reduce spam texts, but the vast majority of spam texts are internal to the Mobile Network Operators these days.
Not just the spammers, but the companies that still use it to send page outs to their employee's personal phones rather than using a service like Pager Duty or other, more appropriate means. Won't somebody at AT&T think of these poor souls?
When he started with a limited set of tariffs on Canada/Mexico/China it sort of made sense as a bullying move. The administration at least had the bandwidth to conduct three sets of negotiations.

But it’s essentially impossible to negotiate 180 deals simultaneously. No way does Tunisia get even five minutes to pitch a deal - the simultaneous imposition of tariffs effectively DDOS’d the negotiation team.
Exactly. Europe thinks it may join Ukraine in a war against Russia to actually win that war.

My point is that this is quite a reason why a nuke war may occur.

And if U.S. turns back away from Europe - Europe might 'sober up' and not seek the prolongation of a conflict. Non-nuke wars end somehow. One side usually loses, without such a loss - there would be no end for the war and more and more people would die. A bitter ending is better than endless bitterness.

It's somehow LESS helpful than just having a pointer to which part of the text to revisit.

It basically just restates the question/problem. Even worse than that is that it's an essentially STATIC note for each question yet it appears to be REAL-TIME GENERATED each time. I guess that could just be for appearances but it's just dumb all the way around really.
> * bring back manufacturing jobs - even if we reshore some manufacturing, it'll be at the cost of many more other jobs and that manufacturing will be highly automated. No capital appetite exists to do this. No CEO wants to do this. We don't have the infrastructure or supply chains for this.

Often yes but sometimes they both go down. However bonds don't decline as fast. The actual strategy I follow is stock/bond/short-term. The short term is like a buffer currently invested in short term treasury fund. Think of it like a game. If stocks are low then sell bonds and when that is also low then use the short term investment to live on to wait out the market recovery. Also if you are retired like me you would tighten expenses when drawing from the short term during a downturn.

I don't know the machinations at the level of Trump, the billionaires, and the GOP senators and representatives. Depending on what's going on, those in congress will never do their job.

OR, if they just believed in Trump's influence on votes in "free and fair elections", they might eventually hit a breaking point. Because if they let this happen unchecked, they will be voted out, 100%. (Not to mention everyone they know will have lost money, many more jobless, hungry, etc.)

Being complicit in triggering a great depression while being an elected official cannot be good for your career long-term.
The problem is that the tariffs can be undone by the next president. I think that would discourage any investment in industry here. Even if this works, I feel like there is now a political commitment to undoing the tariffs.
Brexit was pretty bad for the UK proportional to the size of their population/economy, and is still causing problems even though the initial dislocation is over. If you think it's a lesser crisis, you could just say that. I haven't done the numbers to make an exact comparison, but they both have the qualities of being being abrupt, severe, and self-inflicted.
Let’s axiomatically presume that vertical integration (of your supply chain, manufacturing, software development, labor force, etc.) is the key to “innovation” in the abstract. You can see this starting to happen with BYD, the Chinese electric car company, for example.

With the above in mind, let’s say your goal as a country is to develop your industries so you can achieve broad vertical integration.

Soft economic assets (financial markets, legal structures, software, pharma, IP, etc.) are easier to bootstrap once you have hard economic assets assets (commodities, energy, manufacturing, transportation, logistics, etc.). If you lose your hard economic assets and only have soft ones, you are at a strategic disadvantage because your opponent (in this case China), can bootstrap their soft assets relatively quickly. By comparison, it will take you much longer to get your hard assets back (through the mythical process of “reshoring/reindustrialization”).
