This is, I think, one of the deepest arts in user experience design. It comes up in games, but I find myself applying it all the time when designing a programming language too.

A human sitting at a machine and pushing buttons is expressing some sort of intention. When the machine can do exactly what they requested, easy, do that.

But what happens if their intentions don't seem to make sense given the current state of the system and/or their previously indicated intentions?

In the context of Tetris, it's them trying to rotate a piece when they've moved it too close to the wall to do that. In a programming language, it can be that they've defined a function that's declared to take a string and then they wrote a call that passes it a number.

Sometimes, you can make a pretty confident guess as to what they are trying to do and have the system either do that instead or at least use that assumption to explain why the system can't do what they requested.

But deciding when a guess is a safe bet for the system to make and when it will be wrong often enough to confuse users is really hard, especially as the complexity of the system and the diversity of the userbase scales up.

Same way it reduces the consumption of domestic goods? Seems like fair level?
Given the manufacturing is currently being done by people making much less than US minimum wage, I’d have to say retail!

People forget why manufacturing was moved out of the US. Manufacturing jobs sucked major ass. Then they sucked less ass, when unions started gaining power. Then the companies saw their employees had prosperity, said “fuck you”, and left.

We’ve crippled unions to such an absurd degree that the reality is that, if manufacturing came back, the quality of life for average Americans would go down significantly. It’s not 1955 - you’re out of your goddamn mind if you think a factory worker can maintain the quality of life now, let alone afford a suburban home on one income like in the past.
What kind of business is this, if US border is danger but Chinese is not?
A key difference between MCP and A2A that is apparent to me after building with MCP and now reading the material on A2A:

MCP is solving specific problems people have in practice today. LLMs need access to data that they weren't trained on, but that's really hard because there's a millions different ways you could RAG something. So MCP defines a standard by which LLMs can call APIs through clients. (and more).

A2A solves a marketing problem that Google is chasing with technology partners.

I think I can safely say which one will still be around in 6 months, and it's not the one whose contributors all work for the same company.
All for it.

We should be doing that right now.
Every country has optimized their own economy so it's incredibly cheap for us to import shoes, or it was. Now it is not, so sure we could try to make some cheap shoes here. But now we have to make cheap shoes, grow cheap citrus veggies, make cheap computer chips, make cheap needles etc etc.

How much capacity do you think the US has to manufacture these things? and what about the supplies?
Some of us are still building new products with XML RPC techniques.

WSDLs and XSDs done right are a godsend for transmitting your API spec to someone. I use .NET and can call xsd.exe to generate classes from the files in a few seconds. It "just works" if both sides follow all of the rules.

The APIs I work with would be cartoonish if we didn't have these tools. We're talking 10 megabytes of generated sources. It is 100x faster to generate these types and then tunnel through their properties via intellisense than it is to read through any of these vendors' documentation.
From before written history until a few generations ago, kids spent hours/day in adult-free, peer time making mistakes in everything from social interaction to physically risky play - and learning from those mistakes.

Today kids live entirely in adult curated, adult populated boxes. I'm not inclined to blame ipads for that.
VAT is applied to services too, at least here in Europe.

Now, if we were to split VAT in two: 1. tax on imports, 2. tax on whatever goods/services people in that country pay/buy, you could keep just the 2 and have free trade with other countries with zero tax. Or the opposite, do tax on imports and free trade inside your country.

The fact that VAT has always been like that (1 and 2 together), it doesn't mean it has to stay that way.

Not sure why we should care about how a country decides to apply taxation in their own country, especially if that country sets a more or less equal tax for everyone - that's understandable.

"All". Even if that's true, some time you might travel and be around women who aren't vaccinated, and you get an infection with something bearing the lovely name "genital warts". It has the long-term complications of "cancer of the cervix, vulva, vagina, penis, anus, mouth, tonsils, or throat". And you can give it to any other women you get with for the next few years, potentially giving them any of those relevant cancers.

So yes. It absolutely makes sense for a man to get it. For selfish reasons, you probably don't want penis cancer. For non-selfish ones, you don't want give other partners cervical cancer.
We're building something different, but there is some overlap. Aqua is built for max speed, while keeping accuracy high. To achieve that, inference runs in a datacenter (for now).

I've been using Gemini pro 2.5 over Claude 3.5 in cursor all week - some people have Gemini do a prd and tasks and Claude do the actual coding. I switch between them but have been pretty impressed with Gemini.

Gemini sometimes fucks up diffs or doesn't actually apply the edits - Claude is rock solid at that. They're both very good though - but 3.7 really likes refactoring unneeded shit and removing code sometimes.

> Just as a tax on consumption of up to 27% in Europe massively reduces Europe's consumption of US exports.

Uhm, it also reduces consumption of locally produced goods, not just something imported into Europe. Its like...a sales tax, the only reason it is treated differently from a sales tax at all is because of its more fair rebate system.

I am contributing to a project by a SpacetimeDB community member to get Rapier running within Unity. Instead of trying to get Unity PhyX running on the server, we just use a deterministic Rust physics engine on both client and server. It is a mostly complete drop in replacement as it stands and is deterministic (Unity's PhyX is not). We'll keep improving it!

Vaccines aren't 100% effective.

I'm not sure what the effectiveness of the hpv vaccine is, but if it was 95% effective (totally made up number, i dont know what the real one is), then there is a 1 in 20 chance it wont work for someone. If both of you have the vaccine then the chance of both failing would go down to 1 in 400.

That seems worthwhile to me, given there is basically no downside.

(I guess this doesn't account for the affects of herd immunity)
I'd liken him more to some rich kid trying to show off some made-up street cred by going over the top on everything.

The cost of an annuity that pays your basic, fundamental living expenses: Food, shelter, water, etc. can be thought of as a debt that all
people are born with. In the US, you can obtain a room in an apartment, basic food, internet access, and transportation (minimal versions of all of these), for something like $15,000/year.

such a lifetime annuity would cost the average 18 year old on the order of 200-300 thousand dollars. This means that an 18 year old starts with about the same level of implicit debt, that a doctor who has just finished medical school has explicit debt, except that student debt doesn't scale with inflation.

A key feature of a society which values social mobility is reducing the debt burden of its children. I don't think the answer on basic income is cut and dry, and I do think its important for people to sustain themselves via their own efforts, but since you likely wouldn't increase the debt burden of a teenager, and you also didn't select the debt burden of the average teenager. You should at least consider the possibility that you would actually choose to reduce, by some amount, the debt burden of the average teenager.
General advice, index funds are the place to start unless you have special expertise. But as you get older you need to move into increasingly conservative investments. When you are 80 you will not live long enough to recover your losses from a market crash... so money markets, CDs, bonds, etc.

Us Americans have been taught exceptionalism all our lives. The people consider themselves to have built and to live in the freest and generally most superlative country that ever was.

We were pretty "soft" (dislike the term) on the land borders and on immigration. Fairly easy to enter, to claim asylum, to live and work on different sides, and so on.

I don't have an answer for the question of if we should be making our border security as intense as it can be elsewhere, but I don't love the story of just doing as other countries do. We're exceptional, right?

I don't think this is a great comment I'm writing, but it's how I feel about things right now.
Maybe there should be a universal basic job. jobs can be rated by how much value is created- it can’t be moving rocks from one location then back again. maybe that’s too hard to calculate. weekly, if you create enough value, you’ve earned your basic income. This might be 2 days of road work. you get 40k for this. take responsibility and up your skills with the remaining time. I don’t think it’s ever a good idea to give money out just for being- i understand there are sales taxes etc. I hate the idea of creating jobs, it has always felt wrong. If the jobs fulfill a valuable and timely need, sure. But i’d rather kill jobs, i say, if you can automate your job with no loss in value, you should be paid at least double that for the rest of your days. If we focus on creating value, we’ll all benefit. it’s just a matter of measuring value i suppose.
things like teaching a valuable skill should be of enormous value- as an example. call me crazy.

Immigration is a double edge sword. Sure, it brings highly educated people on the top end, but also less educated at the bottom curve.

and on balance it changes demographics dramatically, that also shapes US policy in the future. It will be harder for USA to continue to be bloody warmongering machine with Military industrial complex dictating the policy and bombing countries and blowing up civilians around the world.

> We need to anticipate a future where China is equal to America on a per capita basis, but four times bigger. Is that a world where “Designed by Apple in California, Made in China” still makes sense? What will be America’s competitive edge in that scenario?

The likely answer lies in the fact that this would mean China & America are both high-income countries. There are likely to be other countries looking to be "the next China" to ascend the income ladder. As is now, rich countries will outsource work to those poorer countries.

This doesn't have to be zero sum.
God, the boto3 python docs are _insanity_. The lack of type hints, having a single method for getting a client that could be for 100 different services…

On top of that, which is absolutely true, saying "listen to the person above me" (instead of something along the lines of "guys/to anyone reading this, listen to...") while replying directly to someone makes it seem like you're exhorting them--that you're advising them to look for some other reply that runs counter to their point, instead of addressing the general HN crowd. "I thought that'd help me, but..." also seems to counter their point further instead of agreeing with it.

Trump thinks of himself as a powerful, insightful deal-maker. He pathologically needs to feel like he is doing something and his comfort zone for what kinds of things to do is "stuff that feels like business deals".

He knows very little about government and policy, but tariffs and dollars and percentages feels familiar to him. He's got a lever, and he can't resist yanking on it to show that he's in charge.

Whether yanking on the lever actually benefits the country or him is entirely besides the point. He's a narcissist and narcissists can't let go.
