> Treasuries are considered safe during such crisis.

No. Not during such crisis. It's already visible in prices of traditional safe havens (those based on US credibility) that this crisis isn't like the others. They are dropping like flies. Only gold remains.
Personal context is tacit experience. Cultural context is aggregate.

Wittgenstein stated that the differences between personal and cultural language makes it impossible to agree on anything foundational to philosophy.

Godel did something similar to discrete structures by hacking self reference -- a kind of recursive self reference with no exit state.

I think pair programming with an LLM is interesting. You get to compare personal context with aggregate context. Plus, the external feedback helps me break out of excessive personal self reference.
Yeah, but it sounds like the tariff is a higher percent for single item shipments. That means that aliexpress would sell less to individuals and more to Amazon resellers.
It's hilarious reading the other comments. I'm on mobile but my first thought was how interesting and novel the site design was and how clearly communicated the problem they were trying to solve

Cool post! It's refreshing to read a blog that doesn't ask me to subscribe with popups etc and gets into technical weeds
Good. Time for this idea to die finally.
and you will probably get that very same one.

IT data destruction companies all remove the storage, and put the device back on ebay the same day.
Sure, but the industries of the future arguably are. At least for now.

It's not like money isn't being made in the US today.
Except that because the rule is clear, China will anticipate that doing this in another country will result in eventual increased tariffs. They will be able to see ahead that it's not worth making a big investment for that purpose. The optimal strategy changes to do more business with the US and/or build factories in the US.

Think of it this way. If someone gets hired after cheating on an interview, they'll presumably not be as good as expected. They'll get fired, and the company will launch another round of interviews -- this time watching vigilantly for off-screen cheating.

Maybe I'm saying that I reject the assumption that off-screen cheating is as effective as people think it is. (I really don't have any statistics for this, though -- does anyone?
I'm just making my own assumption that it's not having a hugely noticeable impact on the overall pool of hired coders.)

Either way, I can totally see why you'd be mad cheating exists. But maybe take some heart from the fact that employers don't like it either, and will be on the look-out for it? I mean, if you preemptively remove yourself from interviewing because "What's the point if there's cheaters out there" - it becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy.
adding sanctions to a smart contract address that cannot appeal itself was not a winning position in the US courts

and determing that a smart contract deployment was a "foreign asset" was also not a winning position in the US courts, as its not clear if it was deployed on a node outside of the US to begin with, or if the person that actually sent the deployment transaction was a non-US citizen

The Treasury with its new head just short circuited that challenge and stopped wasting taxpayer money on this

yeah, stick with prosecuting the actual crime instead of the laziest approach of calling everyone a criminal for using a sanctioned smart contract
Everyone has their own tipping point. Just as salary isn't the only reason to move job, taxes aren't the only reason to stay. But at some point, people move. And the US makes you pay tax overseas anyway, so you can't just move and re-domicile. You have to emigrate and gain citizenship elsewhere.

My gut is that Framework shipping a desktop with soldered RAM was simply a compromise of opportunity, given the LLM boom and interest in AMD Strix Halo. I can only guess, but I'm betting the Intel desktop will not have soldered parts. I'm further hopeful that if folks need to upgrade this specific device that there will be a healthy second hand market hungry for them like there is for used Nvidia GPU's.

But I do agree that the trend of soldered SoC-like will grow, seeing that less than 1 in 10 consumers ever upgrade a computer. Apple silicon has been out for four years and I don't really come across a lot of grumbling about their integrated components which gives me hope that it's a tenable option and we're worried about nothing.
It’s not a matter of evil or good, those are subjective naturally.

It’s a matter of harm.

For example, some conservatives in the state level are trying to allow insurance to not provide PrEP based on religious grounds. For context, PrEP is medicine that prevents HIV infection and is required to be covered at a low cost by insurance.

The result is more HIV or AIDS in gay male populations in those states. There’s no charitable way to interpret these conservative pushes.

I am a gay man. My friends are gay men. I cannot be friends with someone who is actively trying to harm me and my community. This is NOT subjective. This is objective fact - these policies harm me, and my friends. If you interpret that to mean “evil” then that is on you, and perhaps should spark some introspection.

The point is, me being friends with people who are voting in policies that literally, tangible, undeniably, harm me is pathetic and self-destructive.

Maybe you’re okay with being pathetic and self-destructive. Or, more likely, there exists no policies like this for you or any demographics you belong to.
Extraordinary claims with no way to verify, typical for WSJ. Now the question is which group benefits from policies aimed to combat this? Follow the money to see who misleads you …
The problem with OpenFoodFacts is that it just has nutrition label info for packaged goods.

So, very little nutrient info beyond calories and protein. No info about micronutrients. No info about minerals, vitamins, amino acids, fatty acids.

It's useless for nutrition tracking since if you're eating packaged food, then you already have that information yourself.

It doesn't answer basic questions like "I ate 100g of extra firm tofu, how did it move me towards my daily mineral/vitamin targets?"
The lagging frames just give extra time to strategize ;)
That’s the best part! People don’t care and won’t check! They’ll just pay money!

Most of the data being close enough to be better than nothing and not actively harmful + a disclaimer and the author is absolved of all responsibility!

Even better, this will now be used in all sorts of other apps, analyses, and for training other LLMs! And I expect all those will also prominently include an “all of this was genereated by an LLM” disclamers. For sure.
It's an ad for a search engine.
I'll believe it when I see a bill pass the House. But this adminstration loves to make bold claims about what it's going to accomplish without gathering the necessary votes in the House, where it could most certainly push a bill through. News articles don't count.
> Final nutritional data is generated by providing a reasoning model with a large corpus of grounding data. The LLM is tasked with creating complete nutritional values, explicitly explaining the rationale behind each value it generates. Outputs undergo rigorous validation steps, including cross-checking with advanced auditing models such as OpenAI’s o1-pro, which has proven especially proficient at performing high-quality random audits. In practice, o1-pro frequently provided clearer and more substantive insights than manual audits alone.

This is not a dataset. This is an insult to the very idea of data. This is the most anti-scientific post I have ever seen voted to the top of HN. Truth about the world is not derived from three LLMs stacked on top of each other in a trenchcoat.

> For instance, globalization and offshoring of production has made goods cheaper for consumers, but what about the former domestic producers who could not compete

That misses the point on so many levels. First of all consider that this is a domestic problem too. What about all the businesses abandoning California for Texas because wages are so much lower to achieve an equivalent cost of living?

Cheaper goods produced elsewhere is not necessarily a security concern for the economy. Silicon produced only in Taiwan is a security concern for the US, for example, but rubber production isn't even though the US cannot produce natural rubber.

Finally, and most importantly, price depreciation of goods due to global options frees up American businesses and employees to seek more lucrative ventures as the market demands that would other not exist due to opportunity costs.
The "idealogical rationale" is not coherent or even consistent with the papers that the administration cited:

From one economist who was cited in the rationale:

> It is not clear what the government note is referencing or not from our work ... But I believe our work suggests a much higher value should be used for the elasticity of import prices to tariffs than what the government note uses. ... The government note uses a value of 0.25 for ‘the elasticity of import prices with respect to tariffs’, denoted with the Greek letter phi. But our estimates found a value of 0.943 — very close to 1 — for this elasticity.

From another:

> this is where the discrepancies between our work and the table that President Trump showed arises ... our results suggest that the EU should not be tariffed, and yet they set high tariffs against them. Finally, our range of optimal tariffs is substantially lower than the ones the Administration just announced.

But it does provide a convenient fig-leaf rationalization for the class of over-confident economically illiterate folks to cling to, so it seems to have succeeded.

Sounds like a good initiative, but not one that should be under the ownership of a for-profit company with a massive stake in the race.
Honestly with POTUS and his family releasing NFT's I'm not sure whether you're joking.

If you believe in these tariffs then the major problem is how he enacted them. Businesses want certainty. It takes years to build factories. The next president could just wipe away these tariffs instantly. Hell, even the current one could. That does not give these companies the certainty they need to commit years of effort to building factories. If the goal is to spur domestic manufacturing then, at a minimum, he would get the tariffs enacted via a new law so they're more likely to stick for the long term.
What better jobs do you anticipate will be created?
I'm speaking about the collectives, not the individuals. There are always deranged individuals and some of them, many of them, manage to get in power. But the ideological collectives all have pretty much the same core goals. Needs met, population happy.

Ask HN: What do you do while waiting for the LLM?
As vibe coding is becoming more mainstream, for better or worse, I started to wonder—what do you do during the wait time? Personally, X and HN.
As promised, here's the code. I decided to call it Synchrotron. Not ready for use yet but there is design/planning in the readme and a suite of passing tests showing that the approach can work. https://github.com/evelant/synchrotron
It doesn't matter what causes inflation. It's always a sign that there's more money than is needed for current and anticipated levels of economic activity. And the correct course of action is always to raise the rates to reduce the pace that the money is printed at.

At least if you care about avoiding hyperinflation.
People will starting fighting against more houses being built to protect their wealth even more than now. You'll be earning like $25/hr at the factory and all the single-family houses are 300k+ with significant interest. Assuming they never have a huge healthcare bill which also shows no signs of becoming affordable, if the factory jobs even offer decent benefits but my guess is they will all be high deductible plans.
Who is pushing to raise the wages and power of labor? It sure isn’t the party that is pushing tariffs and the return of factories.
I see no evidence of your claim. A total of 4 senators of the President’s party voted symbolically on a non-binding resolution against his Canada tariffs. The Speaker of the House, who also belongs to the President’s party, won’t even bring it up for a vote. There has been no motion from the legislative branch to undo the President’s direct subversion of the power of the purse by effectively eliminating the staff required to disburse Congressionally-approved funds.
You will need to sacrifice something. If the regulations become more restrictive, one of the following needs to change:

- cost (laptops getting more expensive)
- quality (laptops getting less powerful / smaller)
- time (manufacturers have a long grace period before they need to implement the regulations, to allow technology to catch up)
I wonder how long it takes until this trade war moves to the digital stage. It wouldn't be surprising to see that software license fees start increasing if this tit-for-tat continues for much longer
Strange - an unusual amount of comments flagged. Hacker News is becoming more like Reddit by the day it seems.
It is like that indeed. It should be apparent to anyone who has listened to Trump that he is indeed a conplete asshole. There shouldn’t be any need to go into details.

Likewise, it should be apparent to anyone with a cursory understanding of economics that tariffs are bad for the economy, and imposing mindless tariffs on the entire world is really bad for the economy. “Crash the economy to address the national debt” is a bad plan.
I just want the consumer grade robot dog so I can program it to chase the roomba around.
I can share a similar approach I'm finding beneficial. I add "Be direct and brutally honest in your feedback. Identify assumptions and cognitive biases to correct for." (I also add a compendium of cognitive biases and examples to the knowledge I give the LLM.
> the United States needs to manage its massive national debt,

> The present uncertainty around tariffs and a potential crisis could create conditions that pressure interest rates downward before those Treasury securities mature, by influencing Federal Reserve policy.

> What are the flaws in this thinking?

Flaw #1:

Massive treasury rollovers isn't new.

22% of all Treasuries have a duration of 1 year or less.

The only new thing is that rates have gone up.

Uncertainty is a short term solution to a long term problem.

Flaw #2:

Economic uncertainty and supply side shocks risks a recession.

Recessions usually increase national debt.

Flaw #3:

The right answer to reducing national debt is to ensure incomes exceed outgoings.

The current administration is so focused on extending trillion dollar tax cuts, no amount of tariffs or government efficiency is going to lower the national debt.

Flaw #4:

Treasuries only really go down during a recession.

Recessions are bad, not good.

If you think finding a tech job is hard now, or that your RSUs are hurting, wait until you see a serious recession.
Social Media Engagement in Early 2025
A laborer in a subsidized, low-productivity industry is one less worker available for a high-tech, high-productivity sector. With a finite workforce, misallocating labor like this inevitably hampers innovation and economic growth. The U.S. should focus on being a powerhouse of technology and innovation, not divert resources to low-value tasks like picking olives from trees.
oh, that would make sense, yes. AFAIK Turkey was also used a lot to accidentally ship goods to Russia.

>It explains why they singled out Reunion from France, it has a separate ccTLD

It also has a separate country abbreviation (RE). You know, like you'd see on an address. The thing that tells you where something, like a good imported in to the United States, is coming from.

This is is why it has a separate ccTLD by the way.

This blue sky thread is just an incredible example of motivated reasoning.
Mailed you
Why do you think the White House aren’t simply saying that, then, rather than claiming it’s about reciprocal tariffs and trade barriers?
You can’t isolate these things, the Fed’s charter is to try and reduce inflation for consumers not regulate the bond market for the US debt, but their interest rates and repo actions move the bond market.
Yes, we've started from scratch. A detailed explanation for our reasoning can be found here:

I'm not sure how you could look at 2024 and not see a historically terrible campaign by the Democrats. They had to force the presumptive nominee to drop out because his brain was dripping out his ears. That alone would do it!

Well, "booming job market" is certainly a precondition you won't see any more of, these days. Welcome to America's century of humiliation, you should get comfortable as we're going to be here for a while.

American video games used to be that, all brown, and Japanese games tended to be more saturated and colorful. To some extent this is still be true but I've noticed a willingness now to break out of the bleak color grading.

I did something similar (local storage events) in time of jQuery to sync shopping cart between tabs. Very simple solution, but, IIRC, it didn't work with IE.
Can totally happen when the people in charge are economically illiterate and surrounded by sycophants or crooks (I'm not sure which Mugabe was), demanding a wealth transfer that can't be funded by the actual economy.

Inflation can also happen when production goes down, not just when money supply goes up.

Now I don't claim to be an expert at economics, I'm just a software nerd like most here and may be wrong so take with a pinch of salt, but the things I've heard that are associated with stagflation include de-globalisation and supply chain shocks (e.g. a trade war with major partners), tariffs, and shrinking labor force (aging population not helped by a combination of low immigration and aggressive deportation).
Another important difference is reproducibility. With the same program code, you are getting the same program. With the same natural-language specification, you will presumably get a different thing each time you run it through the "interpreter". There is a middle ground, in the sense that a program has implementation details that aren't externally observable. Still, making the observable behavior 100% deterministic by mere natural-language description doesn't seem a realistic prospect.
Does it need to result in compatible code if run by 2 different LLM's? No one complains that Dropbox and Google Drive are incompatible. It would be nice if they were but it hasn't stopped either of them from having lots of use.
"How do you slog through something you truly hate?" - I don't.

When signals that a role is not aligned with my needs start cropping up, I begin searching for a new role passively, and as the situation develops I speed up my search.

"I felt like a complete failure because I didn't put in 100% and I felt like I let my mentor down" - to thine own self be true. I have failed to put in 100% at some jobs, and sometimes i regret it more than others. I have narratives that legitimize my laziness or lack of commitment based on some previous slight from the company, or a missed promise on their part, but I hold myself accountable.

"How do you overcome something like that and push on? It does not always seem like a sure thing"
Resilience is a wildly varying trait of folks, and depends on your emotional and mental state. "First world problems" are a great example, one when is socialized at a certain comfort level, missing that causes distress. Some working conditions are truly untenable, in which case do what you have to do, but otherwise do the best with the situation you're given.

OpenAI should have called Wide Research (but it's not as catchy). In all my tests in things I have some expertise it seems to provide a wide range of information but it never goes really deep. It lacks understanding of what is more valuable and what not.

IMHO, US intervention in Iraq, Libya, Ukraine or Syria increased human rights abuses as long as you include violent death in the definition of "human rights abuse".

> I don't see anyone mentioning that the United States needs to manage its massive national debt, currently in the trillions, by issuing Treasury securities. These securities mature at varying intervals and require continuous "rolling" or refinancing to pay off old debt with new borrowing.

No one is mentioning this because no one cares, least of all the guy who just signed massive tariffs.

What you're describing is the end result of 30-ish years of Republicans implementing "Read my lips: no new taxes" and this country refusing to have to a mature conversation about revenues. Also, over that period, wages remained stagnant, meaning more people look to the government for assistance, which then costs money in the form of deficit spending. The numerous expensive wars didn't help, either.

There's no good fix to this other than some serious revenue raising through taxes on people who can afford it. Of course, those people are of the opinion that they're entitled to net worths that measure as a significant portion of a trillion dollars, and will simply push the costs onto consumers in order to maintain share prices since that's what most of the net worth sits in.

You have to break those people of that idea. Talk of interest rates, Treasury securities, Federal Reserve policy, it's all just noise. The money going in must be a larger portion of the money going out, and significantly burdening the average American with more tax debt isn't going to solve the problem before causing social upheaval.
