Why 90 days ? Don’t the tariffs take effect now - although with the flip-flopping who even knows anymore

> Worst case, writing a shim for an exact MCP capable server is a) probably not a big deal, and b) will probably be on GitHub this week or so.

That sounds exactly like the kind of thing I would outsource to an LLM. I think people over think the need for protocols here. Most AIs are already pretty good at figuring out how to plumb relatively simple things together if they have some sort of documented interface. What the interface is doesn't really matter that much. I've had good results just letting it work off openapi descriptions. Or generating those from server source code. It's not that hard.

In any case, MCP is basically glorified remote procedure calls for LLMs. And then Google adds a bit of probably necessary complexity on top of that (auth sounds important if we're connecting with third party systems). Long lived tasks and out of band data exchange sounds like it could be useful.

For me the big picture and takeaway is that a future of AIs using tools, some of which may be other AIs using tools communicating with each other asynchronously is going to be a thing. Probably rather soon. Like this year.

That puts pressure on people to expose capabilities of their SAAS services in an easily digestible form to external agents. That's going to generate a lot of short term demand from various companies. Most of whom are not really up to speed with any of this. Great times to be a consultant but beware the complexity that design by committee generates.
As far as I can tell, it's an "I am not done talking yet" thing in many contexts. That's why people employing it usually drop the uptalk for their last sentence in a string of sentences (unless it's an actual question).

I reckon it took off because of telephones.
Also china has 125% tarriff but the reason that they couldn't originally give 10% to Vietnam was trans-shipment of Chinese goods.

If it wasn't happening before, it certainly will be now.

What's actually wrong with them.
I've always had the impression that Ukraine's tech sector is primarily focused on outsourcing or outstaffing for Western companies, so they typically don't own what they build (and it's very custom, boring enterprise stuff anyway).

Russia, on the other hand, has traditionally focused more on building its own products and brands, both for its domestic market (Yandex, VK) and the global market (Karsperky, ABBYY, JetBrains). When a technology they create for themselves turns out to be pretty good, it often spills over to the West and gains global popularity - examples being ClickHouse (originally to support metrics collection at Yandex), nginx (originally a reverse proxy at Rambler), etc. I have a hard time remembering something similar coming out of Ukraine?..

I may be wrong, it's just my impression of it (reading Ukrainian/Russian job postings etc.)
If the country gets rich from tariffs why stop them?
I believe that's the Neumann U87 microphones that are standard at NPR. You can get a similar sound if you don't mind spending $3600 on a microphone.

No way Trump is thinking like that. More he is thinking about more general complaints that dependence on China has hollowed US manufacturing. Fears that BYD will put Detroit and Tesla out of business, 'real economy' stuff. Trump is more worried that China will beat us in artificial stupidity than artificial intelligence.
It's funny, people like you will say a study is too small and focused to be worthwhile.

But then we have the case of Alaska, an entire state receiving a yearly stipend(basic income). And the same type of people will say well it's too broad you can't possibly pinpoint any direct effects. https://www.ktoo.org/2015/02/20/alaska-tops-gallups-index-we...

Science is not made for perfection and many studies are _not possible_ it doesn't mean there's nothing useful to gain from it for policy makers. It's also simpler to study smaller groups than effects on entire countries.

> Who in their right mind wants that?

Those living in poverty. Speaking from personal experience.

> UBI just means signing your soul away to the state, who then can mandate your lifestyle completely including health procedures and even military conscription.

The state can already do this without UBI.

Not saying UBI is flawless though.
For Golang and Haskell I found o1 Pro and Gemini 2.5 are much better at generating code that works first try than Claude. Gemini 2.5 in particular can generate thousands and thousands of lines of code that correctly use types and functions that were generated earlier in the context, with minimal errors.
I'm actually appreciating this discourse, thank you.

For what it's worth, being an immigrant to the UK, I've watched kind of from the sidelines as similar events unfolded here around brexit. I tried very hard to have sympathy for the views of brexit voters. The problem I have, and I have the same problem with MAGA, is despite having real grievances, is the overall narrative is just lie after lie. The MAGA administration lied to the whole world about "trade deficits", completely ignoring services. Maybe the story rings true for a particular voter, but it is a misrepresentation of the whole truth, or more bluntly, is a lie.

I understand very well that certain people have not felt the benefit of deindustrialisation. I do get it.

You say this:

> The original person I was responding to was asking why this happened (presumably because it seemed irrationally stupid, as I think it does to most people here), and what I'm pushing for is an understanding of the point of view which explains it. If you understand the concerns of MAGA and the strategic concerns of the US Military the tariffs make sense.

No. I just don't agree. They make sense if Europe wasn't consuming billions of USD a year of US services, and the US wasn't growing increasingly wealthier than Europe each year.

Trump is pandering to his base. That makes sense. But the tariffs are just a means to that end, and trying to ratonalise the tariffs in other terms, I just don't agree with.

In any case, I have learned stuff from this conversation. I'm not even saying I am definitely correct, there is a chance I'm wrong and you're correct, and I will keep an open mind about that. Thank you.
I trust a functioning government over free market human participants. People always overweight their own ability to succeed, when the stats tell a different story.

How are the governments and economies in the happiest countries structured, for example.
He has a long record of advocating for tariffs. He thinks they're a good idea.
The false dichotomy is that you need big government to have a society that does not go hungry.

Like when an LLM does a tiny coding error that isn't too noticeable though.
Perhaps, but they have actual arguments for their claim, and you have just hypotheses. Scientific studies like those are the best approximation we can have to a full rollout. So perhaps results won't be exactly the same with a full rollout, but at least they have already taken out the "people will just behave nonsensically / be worse off" hypotheses
I've seen relatively little discussion about these lawsuits, but I do think there is a pretty good chance that SCOTUS will rule these tariffs unconstitutional. (It's certainly more likely than Congress rescinding the powers they've ceded to the presidency.)

Constitutionally, the power to set tariffs resides with the Legislative branch, not the Executive branch. Congress has delegated some authority to set tariffs under certain conditions (namely, emergencies and matters related to national security). But the Court is clear that one branch cannot delegate all of its powers to another. The Court is pretty deferential to the Executive branch, especially in matters of national security. But no matter how much you squint, it's hard to see how setting broad based tariffs on all goods from every foreign countries qualifies under the Emergency Economic Powers Act.
God damn it, Google. Make a desktop version of these things.

I'm personally most worried about increases in general income levels being soaked up by real estate holders. It's what we've seen happen in the SF bay area rents in response to tech fortunes. I don't see UBI actually increasing welfare much without a tax on land value to make landholding less profitable and redirecting the value of land into the UBI fund.
ORMs have the problem that they are only useful for projects with some complexity but not too much.

It’s overkill for small projects and not expressive enough if you’re doing really complicated stuff. Even if you do have a good use case for an ORM currently as your requirements grow it gets harder to hack stuff on that you need.
Ask HN: Do you use any tools to manage your professional network?
I've built a large professional network, but I don't have a good way to manage my network or search across my network for finding the right person for the right question or opportunity. I only think of the top 5% I regularly talk to anyways. My ideal tool would be chatGPT for my network, but I haven't seen a good version of that.

lol the state(aka society's strong arm) will always have an immense say in your life even if you are so oblivious to it. Government exists to redistribute money, might as well distribute it to the poor and do it universally.

This study didn't say, we gave 1200 to people and then dictated their lives like a dictator.
Is anyone sure this is not stock manipulation? Honest question.
I assume because of Peter Navarro (and of course Ron Vara).
Nice, that's very interesting and a commendable achievement!

If that is the case I would really like to see some internals of how the physics engine has been implemented in their pattern. I'm not asking for the rapier port source code, but it is hard to think in terms of a new advertised programming paradgim when there's no working examples.

For example I am very curious to see how a constraint solve is implemented in a SQL-like fashion. You would need various math operations and an efficient matrix representation off the top of my head, and I can't think of how that maps to a SQL-like interface.
What are you going to do on your phone in the Uber vs on your phone on your couch when you get home vs your phone on Bart? If you have an important in-person meeting to get to then by all means pay the surcharge but let's be real about how some of us are spending those "saved" minutes.

Trump's obsession with tariffs dates back to 1988 when he lost an auction for the piano from the movie Casablanca to a Japanese buyer. Afterwards, he started complaining about how all these other countries are ripping America off, and here we are.
Governments all over the world generally want more surveillance, not less. Brazil in particular will never use it: anonymity is literally unconstitutional in Brazil.

There was a fun period where the brazilian government mandated the use of free and open source software in its computers. I remember lots of people who complained about the quality of OpenOffice. Microsoft managed to put an end to that at some point. After former president Dilma's impeachment, I think.
No we do not. None of those are UBI and are not universally distributed.
Well the study at least answers your second point, it shows that people are enjoying their work more, and that they change jobs more often (ie take more risks) and stay as employed as before

and #3 at least as already been well modelled economically, UBI replaces many other welfare programs, so we can definitely afford it
Author here. That's the answer.

Or at least it used to be the answer when I still cared about analytics. Nowadays, friends send me a message when they find my stuff on social media, but I long stopped caring about karma points. This isn't me humblebragging, but just getting older.

The longer answer is that I got curious about Cloudflare workers when they got announced. I wanted to run some Rust on the edge! Turns out I never got around to doing anything useful with it and later was too busy to move the site back to GH pages. Also, Cloudflare workers is free for 100k requests, which gave me some headroom. (Although I lately get closer to that ceiling during good, "non-frontpage" days, because of all the extra bot traffic and my RSS feed...)

But of course, the HN crowd just saw that the site was down and assumed incompetence. ;) I bury this comment here in the hope that only the people who care to hear the real story will find it. You're one of them because you did your own research. This already sets you apart from the rest.
SAT is NP-complete and planning is PSPACE-complete so it really doesn't matter how much you "scale" your hardware, those are not problems you can solve by scaling, ever.

It seems like you are not framing NP-completeness properly. An NP complete problem is simply worst case hard. Such a problem can have many solvable instances. With some distributions of randomly selected SAT problem, most instances can be quickly solvable. SAT solving contests often involve hand-constructed SATs translated from other domains and the entrants similarly add methods for these "special cases". So NP-completeness isn't a barrier to SAT-solvers scaling by itself.
> Trump is old enough to remember the high inflation 1970s well so he won't make that mistake.

He's already done it; he pioneered the strategy of sending out covid lockdown checks.

You were the beneficiary of a bullshit short term policy that has wrecked the global and national economies and think that means it was a good thing to replicate?

Your fun time was extremely damaging to people everywhere but of course, we can pretend "it was necessary because COVID" which we then knew and now it's undeniable, was an absolute farce of hygiene theater.

Nothing to do with UBI; the gov of the country you live in can do that period. Really no clue what it has to do with UBI.
Yeah ok, but HTML won the heart of the modern user.
..Any country can solve it, just incentivise families. Simple things like ensuring young people have access to affordable housing and daycare. If I was at the start of my career ladder in a major urban area now, having a family would be close to the bottom of my priority list. Its not rocket science.

Citation needed. Authoritarians always love to go dismiss anyone who doesn't just take anything they're given.
I feel as though this study is only addressing the bottom percentile of questions about UBI, the kind of complaints from people who think "those lazy poors shouldn't be given money". I think most people are able to understand that, yes, people's lives improve when you give them more money. My real questions are macroeconomic. Does UBI create a Keynesian stimulus effect on the economy, or is it primarily inflationary? What is the saving on means testing benefits? How does tax law need to be adjusted to ensure proper dispersal of funds?

Edit: I should emphasis that these questions come from a place of genuine curiosity, rather than simply throwing things up to get in the way of a policy being implemented. I believe larger trials are required to gather better data, with a view towards expanding the pool of recipients.
uhhhhh if you want bitcoin and etherium to moon the best thing you could do for the crypto-community would be to present it as a tangible threat to your country's political and financial elite due to existing outside the confines of their regulatory powers.
> Or arts funding in the USSR and other soviet bloc countries.

This is pretty good example why UBI is dangerous. Those funded artists were very happy to suck it up and go along with the regime. The censorship was in place, but self-censorship was even stronger.

Meanwhile a lot of art existed outside of the system with people working some shitty jobs and doing arts in free time.
As a European I have no idea what that means. How and why that kind of decision can be taken?
Adapting the capabilities of existing SAAS software for use by agentic AIs. This is not a small market. Anybody with any kind of software that does anything mildly valuable is going to look at ways to get in on the action via protocols like this.

Exactly. If I plan to visit a country where green shirts are illegal, I'm not going to pack my green shirts into a secret hidden luggage compartment, smug in the knowledge that I'm so clever. I'm going to either not visit or not bring my green shirts.

Same for this. Whether we like it or not, some stuff on your phone are now considered contraband at the US border. Either don't bring them or don't visit.
Based upon Retirement savings rate in the US, I am sure many people decided retiring while Trump is in office is a non-starter now.

But I am sure a lot of people are being forced or will be forced to retire and maybe get a part-time "Mc-Job".

This is only half correct.

It is true that some/many Rolex AD’s will allocate the most desirable watches to customers with an existing purchase history, and that some customers therefore buy less desirable models in order to earn goodwill with the AD.

However, it is not the case that the most desirable watches are necessarily (or even on average) the most expensive models. For instance, it is generally the steel models that are the most desirable and command the highest markup from MSRP on the secondary market. The Submariner, the Daytona, the GMT-Master II: almost all of Rolex’s most iconic, most in-demand, most "flippable" watches are the full steel versions, which are the cheapest versions of those model families.

To give a concrete example, it is generally considered easier to get a full-gold GMT (~$43k) or a two-tone (half steel, half gold) GMT (~$18k) at an Authorized Dealer than it is to get the full steel version ($11k).

MAGA really has gotten people to believe all the VAT BS. VAT is basically a sales tax for all products. It does not typically advantage import or domestic products.

If Trump wants to implement a 10% sales tax on everything purchased in the US that would not be considered a tariff and no one would retaliate.
Oh, this is a great idea. I'd love to try it and maybe I could add this feature to the current one! Thank you.

Redistribute policies only work in countries with high social trust. There's a strong correlation between social trust and wealth inequality.

Well, they voted for Trump but I'm not sure the random tariff generator was mentioned as part of the platform.
Just like the US has had small and targeted tariffs on the EU for a long time (such as pickup trucks).

US wont end up in the situation that UK finds itself in because the land it occupies is some of the most productive land on earth and at a similar scale as china. The incredible wealth of america, is that its a land mass that in the old world would be supporting 500m-1.5b people, but is divided only amount 350m.

The city at the center of the Missouri and Mississippi if it were in europe would be a major civilization. In the US its saint louis. The US, CA, and AU have an option few countries do -- at any point they want nominal gdp growth all they have to do is open the door.

I agree with you though that china's incredibly impressive.

I'm coming to the conclusion that the tariffs are a distraction. The 10% across the board appears more like a tax hike without calling it one while the focus on China is just the same old trade war from the first term with louder chest-beating.
Except he can't. They're abusing a legal loophole that probably can be easily defeated in court if anyone interested can actually locate their balls to do it
