Yeah 1) He won the popular vote. His support actually increased the 2nd time around, and 2) He should be in a tiny jail cell right now, what was Biden doing for 4 years?

This isn’t going away even if he leaves office in 4 years (which is looking unlikely).
You wouldn't get an answer from a tiger. Sorry, my lack of empathy for you is making me woefully obtuse.
I did not expect this because of all the big tech companies, Apple has been the most antagonistic to Trump. I actually thought the FTC was going to come down hard on Apple this administration has a measure of revenge. Is Trump doing Apple a solid here hoping they return the favor?
I asked the google and it appears a big chunk of Chinese imports are agricultural products. Farmers not having a market to sell their products into isn't such a good thing for any administration so they seem to have a bunch of leverage on this point alone.

Compared to the population at large, how does their definition do? Compared to philosophers and neuroscientists, it is lacking, no doubt. But that's the top 1% of the population in being able to define intelligence. So where does this view of intelligence rank compared on a more global sense? It seems better than those who just go with a "I know it when I see it" gut check (especially given how often that gut check is now letting newer models pass as long as they don't know it is an AI model). Or the "humans, because humans are clearly better" view that assigns mythical status to the human brain. Is it in the top 5%? Top 2%?

For a group to come up with a good enough definition that still ranks among the top and which is suited for the specific tasks at hand, seems like a show of intelligence. It isn't perfect, but to what extent is that avoiding premature optimization? Once the definition has issues, it'll be refined more. No need to waste time refining it if we never build tools that hit the limits of the current definition.

Yeah, it's important to frame it in terms of idiolects and dialects—any given speaker has an idiolect, and that idiolect is worth describing and documenting uncritically. But that speaker also benefits from speaking a shared dialect with other speakers, and it's valuable for that speaker to be on the same page with other speakers of their dialect about definitions.

I think what OP is getting at is that it's not the role of linguistics to assign a value judgement to a given usage—there are merely benefits that speakers can derive from better understanding the dialects that they use in daily life.
I mostly don't use Numbers for very much because it's not easy to share and collaborate. Everyone has Excel. Everyone has Sheets. That said, I routinely use it as a first step in converting CSV and other text based delimited data. Open or paste into Numbers and it almost always does a perfect job of determining columns when Sheets and Excel choke.
Apple CEO Tim Cook made a personal $1 million "donation" to the Trump inauguration in January 2025:

The whole signal thing is an excellent example and I know several people who voted for Trump who agree that was a boneheaded move (having a signal chat at all let alone accidentally adding a journalist to it).

What evidence do you have that DOGE (which is just USDS that everybody loved during the Obama administration) has bypassed any vetting for its employees?
My home in the US Northeast was renovated a few years back and we went from gas heating, cooking, and water heating to all electric (heat pumps for HVAC and water; induction for cooking). As part of the renovation, we added insulation and performed air sealing. Our bill has gone up significantly in the winter, despite the home being better insulated.

That said, I've heard gas costs have also increased recently, so I'd likely be seeing higher costs if we hadn't converted.
It seems there’s a lot of money to be made if you are willing to navigate eu business rules to build European copies of American technology companies.

There’s a lot of people who would simply want to move away from azure, Google, etc. even though Europe can sometimes be draconian and highly segmented.
Why pretend any more? You go full mask off and half the country still cheers you. Trump could get on stage, say "there will be no more elections and I am now king" and half the country will be okay with it while the other half puts their hands in their pocket and feigns helplessness.

I keep hearing people say short term gain, but no one wants to put a time on short term, nor do they want to do the math on how long it would take for their their plans to come to actual fruition using tariffs.

FWIW, that is 100% a retconned explanation. No one anywhere was talking about this theory until the last week.

It's clear that Trump demanded tariffs, tried to do it once early, and got cold feet. What happened with Lutnick et. al. is Court Politics. They saw an opening to improve their own status by selling a creative lie that would allow Trump to do what he wants. So he bought the lie and picked new favorites.

But it remains a lie. No one serious thinks that this is a good idea.

Also: refinance the debt?! First, no, that's not how federal bonds work. They're a contract and you pay the interest it says on the note. But even if you had a magic money pool around to do buybacks or whatever... most of the outstanding debt is in 30 year notes at like 3%! How low do you think they're going to get the Fed to go?

The right's problem with universities is the same as the left's problem with churches:

1. They are institutions of "indoctrination" by the other side. Faculty are something like 98% registered democrats and many subjects ("X studies") have an explicitly left-leaning bent.

2. They have tax advantages and other significant government subsidies.

3. They exercise significant amounts of ideological control over the narrative for their groups of people.

4. They are exclusionary of people outside the club.

Add to that the fact that universities are getting increasingly expensive and real life outcomes for college-educated people are getting worse. The perceived costs used to come with significant benefits, but the costs are getting higher and the benefits are reducing, so there is less tolerance for giving them favored status.

I can't even imagine what the rationale would be for doing this:

>The US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Agency is poised to eliminate most websites tied to its research division under plans for the cancellation of a cloud web services contract, a move that could snarl operations at several labs.

If Bloomberg is correct, it seems that the contract was cancelled prior to developing (and testing and announcing to the public etc.) any replacement.

>A contract for the services across NOAA’s Office of Oceanic and Atmospheric Research — known as NOAA Research — has been targeted for “early termination,” according to internal documents seen by Bloomberg News. As a result, almost all external websites reliant on Amazon, Google and WordPress services are poised to vanish early Saturday morning in Washington, wiping the bulk of the unit’s work, which includes climate and environmental science research, from public view.

Many Americans rely upon NOAA Research communications, both businesses and individual citizens. This worries me, not because I think that Trump is a fascist or because of my political views, but rather, because it suggests a lack of competent government leadership. NOAA Research is still doing its work, but we won't be able to access it anymore? I'm not a Bloomberg subscriber, so what I quoted was all I could read about it. I hope there's more info, e.g. about what the replacement delivery system to the public, will be...

The author's explanation seems perfectly correct to me. Where does he "misunderstand block scoping vs lexical scoping"? By the Wikipedia definition:

One of the most enjoyable musical experiences I had recently was on a choir exchange in Europe. We were at a concert afterparty with choirs from two other countries, exchanging drunken folk songs.

If you were evaluating the impact that a road has, and you looked at all the vehicles that passed over it every day, most of the vehicles you see would be in other industries — retail, industrial, commercial, domestic — very few of them are professional bitumen pourers who make roads. So clearly bitumen pouring only affects a low percentage of the city.
It was 5-6 years ago when I looked, so it might be closer now. Panels definitely are getting much cheaper, but even back then most of the cost was labor to install it and semi-skilled labor has gotten much more expensive in the mean time. My average electric bill is probably <$150 because I use gas in the winter, so even saving 100% there’s a long payoff time.

At least in the parents posters mind that less farm exports leads to less water usage. Hence bankrupt farmers solves things like aquifers going empty and lakes draining leavings environmental disasters.

People commit crimes because they believe it's morally right all the time. That doesn't mean it's not a crime, and the fact that Swartz committed multiple series crimes has never been disputed. It's simply a question of whether you think it was a justifiable crime or not.

So if you don't think Swartz's crimes were justified, you're just talking about two people who both committed crimes. You don't need to be arguing in bad faith to think that they're comparable even if their motives were different.

It was a rational and logical thing to do, assuming Russia wants prosperity. Sadly, it turns out people with power in Russia don't really care about that for regular people.

So... I think it was a good thing after all. It could've worked out, and bring us peace. A moonshot with great payoff but some chance of failing is often a risk worth taking, HN should know that :)
> Manufacturing isn't returning to the US due to these tariffs.

Even if it did, who cares? It wouldn't make anything less expensive or better and unemployment was already basically as close to zero as it will ever get. If wages go up that would just increase inflation more.

And Chinese companies may soon have to evolve too should they want to remain competitive. Being at the behest of a single country is a weakness.

You said it right, science fiction. Honestly is exactly the tenor I would expect from the AI hype: this text is completely bereft of any rigour while being dressed up in scientific language. There's no evidence, nothing to support their conclusions, no explanation based on data or facts or supporting evidence. It's purely vibes based. Their promise is unironically "the CEOs of AI companies say AGI is 3 years away"! But it's somehow presented as this self important study! Laughable.

But it's par on course. Write prompts for LLMs to compete? It's prompt engineering. Tell LLMs to explain their "reasoning" (lol)? It's Deep Research Chain Of Thought. Etc.
