This is assuming America is even capable of producing what it needs to generate jobs or investment. There’s no point in taxing coffee from Africa; America doesn’t produce competing coffee! There’s no point in tariffing specialized electronics from China that Apple needs; US literally doesn’t have the capacity to produce these and the investment to do so will be inefficient as American labor is better put to service and knowledge sector work to produce more Apple product designs (just one example).

This is just going to make the American economy more inefficient, less able to compete internationally, and devalue American interests globally, which means America will have less clout to privilege their citizens with.
It does not introduce, but maybe the combination of both does (see Searle points in freedom and neurobiology). You also need to prove that the future is determined, simply assuming so is an error.

>If you're clever you add a manual review stage in the pipeline and have the db engineers approve the generated migration script before deployment is completed automatically.

This is how I've set it up at my current employer. It works well. We modeled it after the Terraform Plan/Apply steps, and double check that the script generated by the "apply" step matches the script generated by the "plan" step, since these can occur at significant temporal distances, and fail it if not, just so that we can be sure what we've read and approved matches what gets executed.
I think this is a good option. I also have no problem with experts being put in charge of people. Truthfully I think the bigger issue is that there's not more ways for growth. But at this point I'd settle for just ways to grow in the technical side without needing to move to management (being a group lead or having people under you is something I'd consider different when your main job is still doing technical work)
Can a model even know that it used a hint? Or would it only say so if it was trained to say what parts of the context it used when asked? Because then it's statistically probable to say so?
see the edit. boils down to the ability to generalize, LLMs can't generalize. I'm not the only one who holds this view either. Francois Chollet, a former intelligence researcher at Google also shares this view.

I’m not the same person, but I’ll go past just insinuating.

Almost no country has broad tariffs at the level that our “reciprocal” tariffs are being applied at.

Can you find any example in the top 15 of our trading partners that have tariffs that meet or exceed our “reciprocal” tariffs?
And thus you have the $500 billion investment from Apple to build here.
There is this group-think on HN today that services are intentionally left out as part of the US trade balance. That confusion likely comes from tax and corporate structures. Ie all those profits are locked into sub-corps, so Apple-Cayman Islands or Google-Ireland (corporate tax havens) which is why they don't show up on the balance sheet as "trade" into the US (typically those sub-corps buy financial assets with those profits). Read the first chapters of Trade Wars are Class Wars for more depth.
Part of why it is less offensive is it's not actually hijacking our scrolling: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43572887

> there is very little manufacture

The US has a ton of manufacturing, but few manufacturing jobs, because they automated a lot of the aspects of production. This was one the biggest concerns by Andrew Yang when running for president, lack of good jobs because of automation takeover.

iOS Safari only allows push notifications for web apps added to the Home Screen, (as PWAs sometimes do), and that hasn't changed with the new Declarative Web Push. Most developers aren't familiar with this, and neither are users, and so it's very, very hard to educate users on how to allow you to push notifications.

Here's how it works.

First, users have to figure out how to add your web app to the home screen. There's no "Install" button that you can put in your web UI; users just have to know how. You can, of course, explain how, in your web page, but it's quite tricky. I'll explain it below; it takes like eight or nine steps.

First, the user has to click the Share button, the box with an arrow on it under the URL bar. On iPad, it's in the URL bar. It doesn't have the word "Share" on it, so if you use the word "Share" to describe it, users will get confused.

Also, the Share button may not be visible on the screen if the user has scrolled at all, because Safari collapses Safari's bar by default, but you can bring it back by scrolling back up to the top of the screen, or asking users to set up push notifications on a special page of your site that's too short to scroll.

Once they've clicked that, they need to find the "Add to Home Screen" button. On iPhone, "Add to Home Screen" is not visible by default either. The Share sheet is only half the height of the screen, and you have to scroll it to reveal more sharing options. One of the sharing options is "Add to Home Screen."

Once they've clicked that, they have the option to rename your app to whatever they want. You can control the default, but you can't prevent them from giving it a cute nickname, which they may forget later. Then, they can click the Add button.

When they click it, the sheet disappears. As far as the user can see, nothing useful has happened. But something has happened. There's a new app icon on their home screen. Not their first home screen, of course… it's probably their last home screen or something. There's no way for users to know which screen it's on. Or, they can search their iPhone for your app, if they can remember what it's called.

Anyway, once your web app has been added to the home screen, you have to tell your users to re-launch your app from that home-screen app launcher. It boots up slowly, slower than Safari, because it's running a whole separate process from Safari. (Also, JS in general just runs slower in home-screen web apps; only Safari is allowed to do JIT just-in-time compilation of JS.)

Finally, once they launch your app from your home screen, you can request permission to push. They have to click a button in your web UI (any click is fine), and then you can pop-up an iOS push permission request. If the user says no, you've missed your only chance; users have to go find your app in iOS Settings to turn on push.

Once users agree to push notifications in your home-screen web app, finally, finally, you can now send push notifications.
One thing I think I’ve found is: reasoning models get more confident and that makes it harder to dislodge a wrong idea.

It feels like I only have 5% of the control, and then it goes into a self-chat where it thinks it’s right and builds on it’s misunderstanding. So 95% of the outcome is driven by rambling, not my input.

Windsurf seems to do a good job of regularly injecting guidance so it sticks to what I’ve said. But I’ve had some extremely annoying interactions with confident-but-wrong “reasoning” models.
This is an interesting paper, it postulates that the ability of an LLM to perform tasks correlates mostly to the number of layers it has, and that reasoning creates virtual layers in the context space. https://arxiv.org/abs/2412.02975
In this framework, what kinds of assets are you allowed to own the title towards, and what forms of income and revenue are you allowed to have? are there other forms of wealth - like non-financial/social - that you weigh?
The case for the local guy is not calculated correctly for EU VAT, leading to the misunderstanding. The cost of the input increases proportionate to VAT, with the VAT refund cancelling this out exactly.

Let's assume as you did that the actual input has the same real cost to manufacture (ignoring e.g. local labor cost differences, fuel cost differences, government incentives, etc.), and that your example therefore needs exactly 80 USD worth of real, untaxed input in both cases.

The US producer buys this for 80 USD out of pocket as there's no VAT to pay, adds 20 USD profit and sells it for 100 USD. An importer adds 20% VAT, making it 120 USD.

The local producer has to pay VAT so their price for the same thing is 96 USD out of pocket. They get 16 USD VAT back from the government next time they file VAT (irrespective of what they sell), i.e. the "relief" undoes the VAT entirely. They add 20 USD profit making the price 100 USD, add 20% VAT, and what do you know, same 120 USD price tag.

In both cases the final consumer price is 120 USD, and after VAT is cleared the input seller gets 80 USD, the producer itself gets 20 USD profit and the government at the point of consumer sale gets 20 USD VAT.

If the local guy exports the goods to the US the VAT is refunded, making both prices 100 USD. Input seller earns the same, profits remain 20 USD, but no VAT is earned.

This is also why all companies only discuss prices excluding VAT, as the VAT is purely symbolical if it's not a consumer sale.
The indication of a decline of demand is the decline in the number of sales we've seen over the last few quarters.

If you don't believe in God, actually you NEED to buy this, or buy into some other methaphysical eternalism that is as hard to prove as truly random events. The universe either started randomly or it was created, and the existence either existed eternally or it was created (both prospects are also problematic in some level, but at least it is something better than thinking you can not have a position on this and also assume that determinism is trivially true).

No dude, I have things to do and your little software is a tiny roadblock in my day. I dont want to become a fellow expert in your niche, do the thing and get out of my way.

Building UI for work and for consumers is completely different. I’ve done both, user attitudes are veeeery different. Building an ecommerce page is also very different to building an engagement trap for users to sit in.

Problems start when engineers/designers/producters don’t understand their users and their goals. Or when the user is not also the customer (this is the worst)
There's no point in Africa taxing imports from us under that logic?

We have messed up the terms.

We already have AGI, artificial general intelligence. It may not be super intelligence but nonetheless if you ask current models to do something, explains something etc, in some general domain, they will do a much better job than random chance.

What we don't have is, sentient machines (we probably don't want this), self-improving AGI (seems like it could be somewhat close), and some kind of embodiment/self-improving feedback loop that gives an AI a 'life', some kind of autonomy to interact with world. Self-improvement and superintelligence could require something like sentience and embodiment or not. But these are all separate issues.

yes, you can edit the migrations. The steps are for adding a new column, for example:

1/ Add a new column to the declarative file

2/ Generate a new migration: `supabase db diff -f my_new_migration`

3/ Review/edit the generated migration

> someone may ask you to split a floor in half

Yes, I've seen it done plenty times. It's especially common with old houses which might have 4-5m high ceilings around here and people do introduce new floors in between.

Similarly, with pillars being carrying structures, it is feasible to go and turn 3 floors which are 4m high each into 4 floors ~3m high.

But while that's a way to interpret my "original ask" (and all of your examples like hidden floors and such), my intent was clear — in software, you literally go and introduce a whole new thing between the two things that were tighly coupled. Like actual structures above a certain floor.

If your implication was followed in software (i.e. try to predict the future and introduce hidden floors, service floors and such) — and it sometimes is — we really end up with worse, more complex software that has technical debt built in from the start. IOW, that's exactly not the way to build software.

Again, this does not discount the complexity of civil engineering — it is freaking hard! But my point is that it is DIFFERENT and that same approaches do not necessarily work.
You are right, but the choice to attempt a historically accurate reproduction is also subject to interpretation.

It simply can never be perfect. Down to the acoustics of the venue, there will always be aspects of a performance that are lost to time and can never be reproduced. And how can we even know, since no recordings exist (and if they did, that recording would introduce its own artifacts).

How many people dance to a boureé today? Can any performance of one really be be accurate outside the context of dance? Sitting politely in a huge recital hall is no at all accurate

And even then, the music falls on modern ears. We hear and understand music completely differently than ancient people did. Can we even consider anything to be accurate, since Art is experienced?

I love renaissance music, and listen to as many recordings as I can where the performer uses a vihuela, theorbo, lute, etc. It's a totally nerdy pursuit. But it’s only “accurate” to a point

The bottom line for me is that Art is subjective. Do it in the way that satisfies your urge to create. As soon as it leaves your body, it belongs to the rest of us to interpret and experience. There are no right or wrong ways to express yourself.
Good thing we're deporting so many people then.
The root cause is the IEEPA (1977) which was vaguely worded to supposedly shrink executive authority under TWEA (1917) which allowed essentially unlimited executive authority "emergencies" to be declared for an unspecified amount of time. IEEPA was used to block TikTok, which still may get blocked, and used to set these arbitrary tariffs. IEEPA needs to be fully abolished. (And we also need to bring back the Tillman Act (1907) and get an amendment to overturn CU.)
> Decades of USA taking it in the can trade wise appears to be over, for now.

Except that the US hasn't been. Global trade has made the nation wealthier than ever. People who aren't wealthy have been taking it in the can, of course, but that's not because of global trade and these changes aren't going to fix that.

All that's going to happen is that if you aren't already very wealthy, you're going to get poorer.
The evidence is tell me how many tech companies, especially startups, have a large ratio of over 40s? If age discrimination were better enforced, the OP might have a very different (and more fair) market to try your experiment. Until that happens, the OPs observation that they are under compensated vs. other workers of a similar skill set would be where I'd put my money.
This is just partially a solution, because this assumes cognition as a whole is computable.

I think you fail to account for just how little a salary needs to be increased for it to be interesting to switch jobs for the people who are making the lowest wages. In Europe, people compare wages with single digit differences per hour when deciding for switches in jobs and careers.

And low paid workers in the service sector aren't low skilled and costly to get going. They're intelligent and honest, and would be fine workers in manufacturing if given the opportunity. They're working in the service sector because those jobs couldn't be off-shored.
> Political elites tend to be highly coherent

Coherence might not the word you're looking for. The policies of political parties and groups are born out of historical circumstances and the diverse coalitions they represent. Political elites are "coherent" in the sense that you can expect them to consistently follow the party line, and thus infer all of their views just by knowing one of their views.

The party line, i.e. platform of the Democratic and Republican parties, or any other large political party in the world, is, by itself, nothing coherent though. Many of their policies and claims do not make any more sense besides each other than they would make against each other. Realignments on issues are pretty common across the world. What is left-wing in one part of the world at one point of time might be rightist across space and time.
> learned there are still plenty of people that were unhappy the south lost the civil war and want to remedy that

Did you peel that back to the next layer? Did they want to reintroduce slavery? Or did they want independence from a distant government?

I knew folks in the South who thought some of the craziest racist things and probably would've been OK with slavery (I did hear them promote segregation).

At the same time, the vast majority folks I knew who defended the Civil War or wanted secession didn't want slavery or segregation, but local (and often less) government. Did they misunderstand the role of slavery in the Southern secession? Usually. Does that change their _current intent_? No.

The latter group (which was much larger) should be engaged with on the issue of local government and secession, especially in the context of folks in Blue States who've been rattling about secession under Trump.
> 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.

That government assistance is also being threatened (often by adding work requirements to it), and those odd jobs can also go away or become much more scarce if the economy goes over the edge.

Finally, the cost of everything will go up, which will hit those that are scraping by with odd jobs and government assistance the hardest.

I hope it doesn’t happen, but when you assert things are as bad as they can get, that just doesn’t match the situation you described. They can get worse.
It's kind of the opposite problem as well; huge well-funded companies bringing down open source project websites. See Xe's journey here: https://xeiaso.net/blog/2025/anubis/

One may posit "maybe these projects should cache stuff so page loads aren't actually expensive" but these things are best-effort and not the core focus of these projects. You install some Git forge or Trac or something and it's Good Enough for your contributors to get work done. But you have to block the LLM bots because they ignore robots.txt and naively ask for the same expensive-to-render page over and over again.

The commercial impact is also not to be understated. I remember when I worked for a startup with a cloud service. It got talked about here, and suddenly every free-for-open-source CI provider IP range was signing up for free trials in a tight loop. These mechanical users had to be blocked. It made me sad, but we wanted people to use our product, not mine crypto ;)

> There will be more of a hit as we transition to domestic manufacturing, but it will generate jobs, investment, and keep money in our economy.

That's not how it works. It protects inefficient companies, reduces competition, and lets them pocket more of consumers money. I'm sure they will 'share' it with their labor force.

The US is and has been fully employed without it, so it can't really add jobs. The US has plenty of investment, and it will cut foreign investment - many of those factories are owned by foreign companies. It shifts the workforce to less productive work which will hurt the economy as well.

It will keep money out of our economy too. Economics doesn't work by keeping money in your pocket.

> There will be more of a hit ... but it will generate jobs, investment, and keep money in our economy.

Have you heard of 'trickle-down economics'? That was the theory that if we cut taxes on the wealthy, they will spend/invest more and it will 'trickle down' to everyone else. Guess what happened? Only the first step - the certain one - ever happened. The magical future never did.

It's the same here. It's just a hit for the benefit of a few; that's it. No economist thinks protectionism boosts the economy.

> In addition, other countries could simply loosen their restrictions and tariffs.

The DARVO idea that others are somehow blocking US investment - which dominates the world - has no foundation. Poor countries, of course, don't want their entire economy controlled by some trader on Wall Street.
There definitely are. I don't see anything touching most of the telemetry here, cortana, etc.

This looks like a basic default apps store uninstall and not much else.
Remember those five other times when Republicans partnered with companies and individuals to build factories here in the US only for it to never occur? Like the Foxconn factories in Wisconsin?
