I don't feel that's a given. But even if they do, it needs to be enforced which feels much less likely.

Nice, but the terms were new to me. Would have helped to explain them first.
I believe the idea was "Very High Tarrifs" and the formula was some kid in MS Excel . They are definitely not reciprocal. They don't need to be, since the plan was to use the high tarrifs as negotiating tool to somehow reduce the US national debt
I’m not sure if it’s Covid or just entering my 30s, but both I and many of my friends have noticed a similar shift. We used to love the idea of traveling the world and meeting new people, and while we still do that to an extent, the excitement of backpacking around the globe and going to off-beat places isn't there anymore.

However, it doesn’t bother me. The idea of constant travel can feel a bit forced, because Western society emphasises it so much as a way to feel fulfilled. But, happiness and fulfillment exists in a thousand other things. Isaac Asimov, for example, spent most of his life in a New York apartment, writing articles, books, and letters. He loved it so much that the first thing he did after coming home from heart surgery was to rush towards his typewriter. He disliked being distracted from writing so much that he wasn't even willing to travel to Hollywood to get his novels adapted.

So, while travelling occasionally is enriching and helps me mentally, I am okay with the idea of just sitting at home and working on my projects, being excited about programming, writing, and learning.
Some do, sometimes. Steve Jobs used to read and respond to many emails.
The education is a hidden selector and got us here in the first place
Not sure if I understand you correctly. I just watched a Youtube video explaining the formular. The Youtube user checked all 160+ countries. All have been calculated with the formular. So there seems to be no Motivation in this sense. All have received the same broken treatment.
I'm not the author, but I do a similar driving pattern when I encounter traffic waves. Lane changes actually end up making little difference. Even when I leave a lot of space ahead of me as a buffer to close a gap, only the very most aggressive drivers tend to enter it for the purpose of gaining ground, because it doesn't help them much at all -- the cars at the leading end of that open gap are usually stopped. However, leaving these gaps does help increase fluidity for those drivers who need to change lanes in order to eg. exit the highway, which in turn reduces traffic.
<snark> In America, trying to nail the top criminal is failing </snark>

Snark aside, you are right. Bankruptcy protection is a really big factor.

There are many other factors about America that work.

1. An obsessive urge to be new and differentiate oneself from the past, be it music or cars or tech. There aren't other countries that commonly say "this is sooo last year".

2. An entrepreneurial mindset. Looking at the patents from the early 20th century, we discover people with little formal education who were creating products for the mass market as well as for industry. That said, I think that the

3. College profs and new grads who create products.

I feel that the information economy has skewed everything. The ease of creating apps (in contrast to a physical product), combined with ridiculous Silicon Valley VC money has narrowed the vision of what it means to do a startup. Perhaps I am wrong; maybe it is my HN bias.
How Do Lobsters Grow?
I hadn't heard about it but it seems just like management for Kubernetes not a layer on top to enable PaaS, although it has managed databases. Also it doesn't seem to be open source. Thanks for the pointer, though.
You can't subject people who were illiterate subsistence farmers who never left their home town 50 years ago to highly processed foreign propaganda and expect good outcomes.
You're wrong :-). I hate that stuff, and I'm technically not even in my 20s anymore!
> 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.

I've noticed more and more apartment rentals appearing on booking.com. I haven't used any of them but I wonder what the tradeoffs are. My impression is overall booking.com is more guest-friendly as their userbase has grown from people staying at hotels, who expect stuff like being able to cancel and complain about cleanliness.
Welcome, I hope you have a good time. You don't hear about Kazakhstan here every day, and rarely in a positive light.

If anyone else comes to Kazakhstan and wants to see "the real country", I'd humbly suggest looking outside the two largest cities because they're the only places that have seen any development over the past three decades. My city hasn't changed at all since the end of the 1980s, you look at the photographs from that era and the only difference you see are significantly increased numbers of cars. That's pretty typical.

If you ever wonder why some people have a nostalgia for the Soviet Union — that's why, all significant infrastructure was built back then and hasn't been touched since. The Chinese have been pouring some money into infrastructure for the past few years (mostly power plants and railroads), but the volume is incomparable with ye olde days since they are doing it across the globe and don't have infinite money.

Some of our "patriots" become aggressive when you mention this, so you might want to keep it in mind.

A commenter down below called us "a third-world country", and while that's silly (pretty much only because we're "second world" by definition), it's only fair.
App stores are not global. I remember someone saying a certain D-Ticket app not being available in their country. I vaguely remember you can switch the country, but it's a hassle and can cause problems with other apps you have. Another barrier to keep in mind besides the payment method.
Somebody or bodies are backgrounding. Leaking, in other words. Plus, comments from diplomats of the affected economies.

I don't personally read very much "why" in this piece. It's much more "this is just what he wants to do and doesn't give a shit about the effect in the short term"

There are many "why" reasons. They're transactional as always. End British NHS and chlorine chicken issues. End Australian beef, steel and aluminium issues. End the rotten trade imbalance with Norfolk Island.
So true. Money has this weird way of making people seem smarter or more trustworthy than they actually are, especially if they talk the part
Really? Does she not say that explicitly?

"It is our duty to look after ourselves and then also to help look after our neighbour and life is a reciprocal business and people have got the entitlements too much in mind without the obligations, because there is no such thing as an entitlement unless someone has first met an obligation [...]"

She certainly puts the framing as individualistic, but I think she very much understood the obligations are a necessary part of the system.
The global economy is a complex system. Far more complex than software. All of the nerds will adjust their pocket protectors and spew their dubious word-salad (for or against), but the fact of the matter is that nobody truly knows what the nth-order effects will be until they happen.

AEI is just another church of Austrian economics--still burning incense for the ghost of Milton Friedman. If you told any of them, "Tariffs, or your mother dies in her sleep tonight.", they would reply in chorus, "Oh well, that's why I keep a picture to remember her by." If any of these people actually knew what they were talking about, they would be fabulously wealthy hedgies like Dalio or Simons, rather than "think-tank" shills.
To be clear, this is going to have to pass the house. Then, Trump will veto it. Then, the senate will need 16 Republican senators (30% of the party) to vote against it. And it's still a toss-up if Trump will even obey it or if he'll executively order customs to continue the Tariffs.

So unless Republicans suddenly grow a spine, which is unlikely given their current strategy is "hide the stock ticket on Fox news" and pretend glorious leader is a genius, this is a token effort that will do nothing.

And even if the tariffs are revoked, we've destroyed our reputation. You think countries will want to continue on like nothing happened after this? The only thing that might stop the impending collapse of the US economy as 180 nations divest from the empire we built is if we were to impeach and convict Trump immediately and set an example that this economic chaos will not be tolerated; that allies are not fair game to bully.

But, honestly, I think that ship has already sailed. It needed to happen immediately, not after a week of testing the waters.
It's coming from the people who buy the exported goods.

This would mean, of course, that the people who happen to work for an export-oriented factory become much more wealthy than most people in Lesotho. So you might reasonably wonder whether it's better to make twice as many workers half as wealthy. Labor advocates believe the answer is no: paying some people genuinely good wages both creates and encourages further development, while paying a larger number of people "good enough" wages encourages poor countries to race to the bottom competing for the lowest standard of "good enough".
They just signed the budget, it's not a secret. They're giving $2.5 trillion in tax cuts to the wealthiest Americans.

Is this more than constructive interference and beam forming?
An interesting distinction is between staying at a listing vs booking it. I booked an AirBnB in Texas for the eclipse last year. The booking was made months ahead of time. Minutes before I left for the airport, the host canceled with no communication and didn't respond to messages. I got a refund, but I wasn't able to leave a review because the stay hadn't begun.

I had only used AirBnB once or twice before and was leery of it, but after this experience I'm unlikely to use it again. The inability to review the host in such a situation is pretty much a dealbreaker. (Note that I want to review the host --- not the property, but the person who decided to cancel the booking at the last minute.)
Everyone just uses Gmail/Hotmail/iCloud/Proton which just don't have the port problem as carriers because you don't have any reason to port since there's no fees and no physical network, you can just accrue more and use mail forwarding with no problem.

Right, that's a requirement at ticket inspections. At least in theory, in practice in 99% it's not going to be checked.

For buying it, ID might be required at some sellers, but typically it's not.
I came across this article[1] the other day, after reading about the US sending people to a prison in El Salvador and wondering what we actually know about the place.

An incongruity that I didn't notice at the time but realized a bit later is that the prison is called "The Center for Terrorism Confinement" and it has a capacity of 40,000 people. Why would El Salvador or any country need a terrorist detention facility that holds 40,000 people?

According to wikipedia, El Salvador has a population of about 6 million.

The United States famously kept people accused of terrorism charges at Guantanamo Bay, and 780 prisoners have been kept there over the last couple decades since GWB established the prison. There are currently 15.

Presumably there are a lot more people who would fit the description "domestic terrorist" being held in jails in mainland US, but certainly not 40,000 of them.

Presumably president Bukele's administration is using it as a detention facility for regular criminals as well, but it wouldn't be surprising if there's a lot of people there that shouldn't be in jail in the first place.

> All the US had to do was supply it's old weapons to Ukraine whilst replenishing it's stock (creating jobs in America) and things would have been fine.

Well, no, it's not fine, partly because we can't replenish our stocks fast enough. Ukraine is consuming nearly the entire planet's production capacity of Patriot missiles, eating enough of our ATACMS stockpile that it makes Combatant Commanders nervous, and more. To say nothing of the argument "supply Ukraine for as long as it takes, even if that means indefinitely" never made any sense; actions taken without a clear, achievable end goal in mind are just a waste of resources.

Hello! Thank you for your comment! Do you have any thoughts about why the capacity to invest in infrastructure in Kazakhstan seemingly decreased after the collapse of the Soviet Union?
Yes that is the one, and all shader languages also support compute as well, not only graphics.
Hah, I think I've mentioned Deleuze a few times on HN over the years.

The early internet definitely was a smooth space and the 90s cyberpunk mood really echoes a lot of Deleuze. Nick Land, the CCRU, and similar thinkers were very influenced by D&G. Great reading, if a bit sad now looking back.

I'm not sure how the Earth itself would be deterritorialized, though, as I feel like you'd need to undo basically everything from property rights to the Westphalian concept of a state. Seems unlikely to me, barring anarchy/apocalypse or some kind of AI god that confiscates all land and enforces a ban on property ownership. Perhaps if the northern European model of free range, open access to lands could be extended over more area.
AoE is not meant for people who are starting from zero. Pair it with some other

Yikes, there is a musician named Ferron who has been around forever, and her web site was formerly ferronweb.com. So I did a double take when I saw this. The musician's web site is ferronsongs.com now. Shadows on a Dime (from 1984) is a great album.
The markets, while often right after a while, can be a bit slow. I remember the weeks in February/March 2020. The writing about the upcoming global pandemic was on the wall, yet I had enough time to calmly sell all my stocks during the week before everything came crashing down.

Same slowness with the reaction to Deepseek recently.
It's not about the generation, it's about verification.

Changing my tests from the strings I was interested in to four or more letter common words _did_ improve the ability of reasoning LLMs to get the right answer, at the cost of the context exploding to thousands of tokens.

Unfortunately I can't tell you by how much because the couple of dozen tests I did after reading your post ate my $50 I keep in an account for these types of things.

The following question ate through 8k thinking tokens to get the right answer in Claude3.7 Sonnet Extended:

---

Given the following grammar:

<start> ::= <path>
<path> ::= Rome <path> | Paris <path> | London <path> | end_path <routes>
<routes> ::= <path> | end_route <company>
<company> ::= end_company | <path>

Is the following sentence valid:

Rome Paris Rome end_path Rome London end_path end_company

---

Incidentally it got the right answer no less than 4 times in the thinking token stream. I'd not seen this model act like this before.
Original author here. I've been reading this website for years. Imagine my shock when I saw my own article on the front page! I'm glad people are enjoying it.

Quick fact about the way the interactivity is done, all of the code for it is in this blogpost.js file: https://aaaa.sh/creatures/blogpost.js, which is only about 100 lines long. Each block has a list of scripts that it pulls from like so:

<div class="code-example" scripts="grid-sm 2d-vector-gfx-lib draw-grid full-algo-intro feather-canvas-edges"></div>

and then there's a set of script tags with those ids. I figured it was a nice solution!
Gotta have a hook. Look at how he did in the Upper Midwest in '24 vs. '20. That was through appealing to the manufacturing base. There are elements of that bloc that have wanted tariffs for decades.

If you lay off people to send the stock price up, you are the enemy. If you do it to "protect American manufacturing", you're a hero.

Well, to a very niche part of the voting public, but it's enough.
The original has great documentation if you want to train your own model.

The original Python package (TTS) is abandoned, but a fork that works with the latest python is just a “pip install coqui-tts” away
I think that is just sane washing. Original idea was that tariffs are good and America is being ripped off whenever it buy stuff. The rest are mutually exclusive rationalizations by Trump loyalists trying to make it sound reasonable.

There are multiple of these explanations and none od them is consistent with actual decisions.

MMS uses SMTP "with minor differences"? I've never heard that.

Linux containers are also fairly secure, even though that isn’t their explicit purpose. Container escape bugs are CVEs and are fixed immediately.

Novel Logic-Enhanced LLM for Improved Symbolic Reasoning
I’m experimenting with a novel approach that integrates symbolic logic directly into a transformer’s attention mechanism. By using a custom spaCy-based logic parser, I generate a “logic mask” that guides the self-attention layers to focus on logical constructs. In preliminary tests with a fine-tuned LLaMA 3 8B model, this method has shown promising improvements on symbolic reasoning tasks (e.g., achieving around 62% on the FOLIO dataset). I’m eager to hear thoughts and suggestions from the community on further refining this approach. Also please note I don’t have a PhD nor masters in machine learning. Happy to take any criticism good or bad. :)

When you're younger, travel feels like expansion, like leveling up your soul. But over time, especially when you build a life with real depth and connection, the appeal of fleeting experiences starts to fade. You’re not just collecting memories anymore - you're living them.
The FAT12 File Truncation Bug
The article has both, but then we could also look at percentage change in a time span longer than a day or shorter. Those lists are arbitrary but Trump has added to this list two days in a row.

You can sit in a fancy spa or a luxury hotel anywhere and they share a lot of intentional similarities to cater to the same audience of jetsetting luxury travelers. What does a plane ticket add to the experience over a staycation at the local intercontinental?

Résumé/CV: Upon request

Email: hackernewsjob@outlook.com

I am interested in switching from my current role as a QA Tester to a job as a junior Web Developer.

My day-to-day covers:

1. Performing unit and E2E tests.

2. Having intimate knowledge of in-house products made for client services (xyz as a service)

3. Reviewing and approving code changes (JS, TS, Rust, Python, C#, and HCL)

4. Filing bug reports during tests

5. Effective communication with: devs, clients, and end users on an ongoing basis

6. Attend and prese at: stand ups, demos, sprints, etc.

I have worked in QA for 3 years, and more broadly in IT for 14 years. In that time I have done everything from building networks in rugged environments, to help desk, to enterprise patch management, to cybersecurity, to ITAM.
Reads like an extended humble brag. Not much substance here.

Haha yeah, this feels way too real. There's definitely a point where the idea of "discovering yourself" through 4 a.m. bus rides and questionable hostels loses its charm, and a comfy robe, ocean view, and zero responsibilities start sounding like peak enlightenment.
i don't think Trump cares about US national debt.
In my case I haven't soured on travel but I have gotten busier.

I’ve narrowed down where I like to live and do that, after having seen what other developed nations have to offer. (There are parts of the developing world I could enjoy but I don’t see myself prioritizing them when I get back into the extended travel circuit.)

I can slum it purely for the social aspect, and then pamper myself at a Four Seasons tier place on the weekend - subsidized largely by credit card rewards points. Nice places are inherently not nearly as social as nice hostels. But I can also fly a paramour in, du jour.

As long as my health stays great my 30s have been a god-tier version of my 20s and I can see my 40s going that way as well. My 20s was mired by chasing rites of passages and learning I didn't like or want that. Doing the power couple thing with a fellow corporate climber, moving in, etc. Classically, I’m fine with the most aimless anti-intellectual and visually attractive partners as soon as I had the option. “Wife changing money” is what they colloquially say.

Film festivals, music festivals, retreats, the “socialite circuit”, living other places for a couple of months… the allure of that hasn't gone away, for me. In the mean time, life is just speeding by working and saving again, staying entertained in my chosen city, until I actually do something entrepreneurial again.
This isn't to protect EU citizen, this is because American amd Israeli companies have a technology to sell and individual politicans were promised payouts.
