Trump announces 90-day pause on 'reciprocal' tariffs with exception of China
> They'll just buy shoes from another country, import them in secret, repackage them, and sell them as American made Nike.

Who will?

The Trump administration? Why would they be selling counterfeit Nike shoes?

Nike themselves? Why would they buy shoes from someone else? And if you mean they'd just keep manufacturing them elsewhere...they'd still have to pay the tariffs when they hit customs, so they'd still be $$$$. Unless you're proposing that Nike is going to start an industrial-scale smuggling operation...? Or that the Trump administration is going to provide some kind of sooper sekrit tariff waiver just for them, so they can pretend to be selling Made in the USA Nikes? And that's only talking about Nike. What about all the other manufacturers of consumer—and industrial—goods?

None of that passes the smell test. Nike's not going to take a loss to pretend their foreign-manufactured shoes, which now cost them much more, are actually being cheaply made in the USA just to prop up Trump. And Trump is, to all appearances, 100% all-in on these tariffs: he would rather have them and utterly wreck the US (and global) economy than have things cost the same because no one is actually paying the tariffs just to "prove" that his bonkers excuse for an ideology actually works.

No; if Trump gets a third term, it will be, purely and simply, because he has managed to utterly destroy the machinery of democracy so that a free and fair election in the US is a wistful memory.
Realtime in this context probably just refers to the end user experience — multiple people connecting over web sockets to the same backend and seeing the same thing in “real time”.
It's kind of funny to see this being called a technique. It has been something I've done so many times to impressive results. To me, it's just something you can do, among a million other things, if you know enough about Linux.

I believe a third party of Amazon has been leaking information for quite some time. Every summer the porch pirates and their boss are in my neck of the woods and they will park right in front of my place if my order is over $400. They know when the order is expected to arrive here. The pirates are quite brazen and fearless given everyone here is armed and a percentage of people here utilize constitutional carry, stand your ground and castle doctrine which are all fully embraced by the governor and local Sheriff.

If anything, this ought to feel even worse for candidates - now I have to worry if Pindrop Security gave my Linkedin profile picture a 0.009 deepfake score.
The Executive Branch, of which Trump is granted oversight in our Constitution, is responsible for the enforcement of our laws.

Our courts have established that the Executive branch can't decide which laws to enforce, but can prioritize which laws to enforce.

Amazon Cancels Some Inventory Orders from China After Tariffs
The truly luxury Nikes, the ones that cost way more than $100 - $150 are not priced to maximize revenue, however. The evidence is their pricing on secondary markets, which often price them at multiples of the retail price.
I agree with you, but I hope schools also take the opportunity to reflect on what they teach and how. I used to think I hated writing, but it turns out I just hated English class. (I got a STEM degree because I hated English class so much, so maybe I have my high school English teacher to thank for it.)

Torturing students with five paragraph essays, which is what “learning” looks like for most American kids, is not that great and isn’t actually teaching critical thinking which is most valuable. I don’t know any other form of writing that is like that.

Reading “themes” into books that your teacher is convinced are there. Looking for 3 quotes to support your thesis (which must come in the intro paragraph, but not before the “hook” which must be exciting and grab the reader’s attention!).
>50 years from new the career of a "coder" will evoke the same historical quaintness as does "switchboard operator" or "wainwright."

And what happens to those coders? For that matter--what happens to all the other jobs at risk of being replaced by AI? Where are all the high paying jobs these disenfranchised laborers will flock to when their previous careers are made obsolete?

We live in a highly specialized society that requires people take out large loans to learn the skills necessary for their careers. You take away their ability to provide their labor, and it now seriously threatens millions of workers from obtaining the same quality of life they once had.

I seriously oppose such a future, and if that makes me a Luddite, so be it.
This feature exists, on systems that use mandoc as the default manpage formatter and viewer (such as OpenBSD).

In HTML output, definitions for flags, environment variables, and other such things are converted to hyperlinks, and hyperlinks can point directly to them. https://man.openbsd.org/ssh#D

In terminal output, this same capability is used to create a ctags file, which is supported by less(1). On OpenBSD, I can type “man ssh”, then :tD to jump to the tag named “D”.

This relies on the mdoc(7) language’s semantics, so unfortunately it won’t work for manpages using the older man(7) macros. But nearly all BSD manpages are written in mdoc(7), and a significant minority of manpages from packages.
This doesnt make sense. When money moves out of stocks, it has to go somewhere. Typically, it moves to less-risky assets, like bonds. That makes their prices go up, and yields down.

Likewise, why would the tariff strategy be to drive down bond prices? Lower prices means receiving less for their issuance/paying more interest...

Youve got it all backwards friend

You can do exactly the same in the UK. I am, and I do.
Board membership is more like volunteer work, they meet for a few hours once a month to rubberstamp the CEO's strategy. It's oversight rather than 'work'.
It's about power to affect change in an organization. The more power you have the better systems you can establish and sustain. Unions should be brought up constantly in these threads about AI mandates and "leadership" directions.

Unions might not be the best solution, or the most practical. I'm all ears for better ways to fight back against bogus leadership. How else can software developers advocate for their interests in an environment where their power is sharply declining (non performance based layoffs, "performance" based layoffs, reduction in junior hiring, reduction in in-office perks, reduction in total comp, etc)?
Prompt it to talk like an NPR announcer.
No, because if you read your SICP you will come across the aphorism that "programs must be written for people to read, and only incidentally for machines to execute."

Now tell that to your compiler, which turns instructions in a relatively high-level language into machine-language programs that no human will ever read.

AI is just the next logical stage in the same evolutionary journey. Your programs will be easier to read than they were, because they will be written in English. Your code, on the other hand, will matter as much as your compiler's x86 or ARM output does now: not at all, except in vanishingly-rare circumstances.
Department stores. I think the strategy was different. Big box focus on driving down prices by working with the cheapest suppliers they can get away with. IIUC Sears in particular was more vertically-integrated, and focused more on in-house brands that cost only a bit less than name brands, but were of high-enough quality that they became brand names themselves.

Would love someone with knowledge of this to chime in.
> I know many "programmers" who can neither configure a SME/Enterprise firewall or switch

This is a very weird baseline to use for qualifying a programmer. Firewall configuration is completely irrelevant for most programmers and has been for decades. It is objectively not a programming task, it's just something that might get foisted upon a programmer if there is nobody else to do it.
IANAL, but at the Federal level I'd say "yes".

States can do their own thing, using their own laws & resources, +/- the risk of annoying Trump.
It may be possible that with enough data from the two categories (copied from ChatGPT and not), your keystroke dynamics will differ. This is an open question that my co-founder and I are running experiments on currently.

So, I would say that while I wouldn't fully dispute your claim that attributing authorship from text alone is impossible, it isn't yet totally clear one way or the other (to us, at least -- would welcome any outside research).

Long-term -- and that's long-term in AI years ;) -- gaze tracking and other biometric tracking will undoubtedly be necessary. At some point in the near future, many people will be wearing agents inside earbuds that are not obvious to the people around them. That will add another layer of complexity that we're aware of. Fundamentally, it's more about creating evidence than creating proof.

We want to give writers and students the means to create something more detailed than they would get from a chatbot out-of-the-box, so that mimicking the whole act of writing becomes more complicated.

> a big part of the tariff strategy

You mean, a big part of one of the inconsistent explanations people are desperately theorizing, because they're too afraid of the simple answer... that there isn't any strategy at all?

[Edit: Or, to be more precise, no strategy which is both (A) sane and (B) designed for America rather than for specific individuals.]

> chaos in an effort to drive down the price of the 10-year bond

I assume this means "the US government will benefit by being able to borrow money more cheaply than before because so many people can't trust stocks". That explanation rests on a big fat false assumption that trust in the particular debtor issuing the bonds remains unchanged as more people want to lend them money.

Instead, economic trust in the US--built up over decades--is being actively firebombed into the dirt by the new Republican regime. This means the US government can easily end up in a far worse position than before, because creditors will demand higher interest-payments to offset the "holy shit your country might implode first" risk they're taking on.

Or, y'know, they'll take their money out of US stocks and then buy the bonds of some other government entirely...
One great reason is that you need an account on X to read the thread. I deleted my account many months ago, along with many, many other people.
Power of the purchasing power was a luxury of the US being the most desirable source of stability, creating a high demand for US securities and money. If trust in the US goes down, then so does purchasing power.

> the 10 year bond price started going up as stocks were trading down,

Correct me if I'm wrong, but the abnormal thing happening was that treasury yields were going up, which meant that prices were going down (due to lack of buyers, as you said), right?

You said "Dynamic IP addresses typically also have a forced disconnect at a regular interval.", which is false in pretty much every DHCP scenario I have ever seen.

A change in an IP lease should result in no downtime whatsoever, because addressing is not the same as routing. A routing change would have exactly the same effect on a static IP.

I then pointed out that an overlay network means you don't have to worry about that anyway.

I think you need to reread whatever comments you think you are responding to, as there is clearly something out of sync with your replies.

> and that we've largely normalized this.

This (along with healthcare) are examples for the "both parties are the same" refrain.

Neither side wants or advocates for the status quo (for US citizens to lose their rights at the border) but neither side is doing anything about it. They could easily eliminate the "constitution-free zone" exemption at borders and airports, but from what I can see, no lawmakers are talking about it.
No idea, never owned or used crypto. I guess for large amounts the reference point should be total transaction cost using Wise and/or some version of Norbert's gambit if your currency pair is a popular one and dual-listed securities/ETFs are readily available.

> There seems to be a fundamental mismatch between how sane people think about sandboxing, and how linux manages namespaces.

What bothers me most about sandboxing with linux namespaces is that edge cases keep turning up that allow them to trick the kernel into granting more privileges than it should.

I wonder if Landlock can/will bring something more like FreeBSD jails to the table. (I haven't made time to read about it in detail yet.)
> Most of the stuff the UK is struggling with (transport, healthcare, energy) are "state capacity" issues.

Oh, boy, let me tell you, the 'State capacity' of the United States, when it comes to doing things that aren't making war on its own, or other people, was both rotten to begin with, and won't survive another four years of this regime.

Dysfunctional as the UK is, it's government is not stuck at a triple point of learned helpelessness, intentional sabotage and paralysis (the US is currently, among other things, doing its best to bring cured diseases back), and a deeply negative-sum culture.

I've heard that the United States was a magical land of milk and honey in this respect, back when 'competent bureaucracy' wasn't a swear word in it, but I understand that ended ~45 years ago. (With a few surviving holdouts, like the Fed)
They will be more expensive to make in the US and will likely sell less shoes as a result. This will be the case for most things that are cheaper to make overseas. Or with things that are difficult to grow here at scale.

Mediant32: An Alternative to FP32 and BF16 for Error-Aware Compute
Just sharing some notes I compiled while building Mediant32, an alternative to fixed-point and floating-point for error-aware fraction computations.
I was experimenting with continued fractions, the Stern-Brocot tree, and the field of rationals for my programming language.
My overarching goal was to find out if I could efficiently represent floats using integer fractions.
Along the way, I compiled these notes to share all the algorithms I found for working with powers, inverses, square roots and logarithms (all without converting to floating point)
I call it Mediant32 and the number system features:
1. Integer-only inference. (Zero floating point ops)
2. Error aware training and inference. (You can accumulate errors as you go)
3. Built-in quantization for individual matrix elements. (You're working with fractions so you can choose numerators and denominators that align with your goals)

Yes; the president in the US is in charge of the federal prosecuting agency, and has, in practice*, unlimited power to direct non-prosecution.

(And, separately, also has plenary power to pardon federal crimes).

*Late edit: there was an historic case study of this power balance, just a few weeks ago. When Trump directed the DoJ to suspend the criminal prosecution of NYC mayor Eric Adams, in order to corruptly use the continuing threat of prosecution as a cudgel to extort policy concessions from his office, no federal prosecutor had any ability to resist that order. At least seven resigned[0] rather than obey it. The illustration being: whatever laws might say and whatever ethical norms exist—a federal prosecutor, as an employee of the executive branch under the POTUS, has no practical ability to contradict what the POTUS directs them to do.

But still, the money that's going straight into working class people's pockets is probably better for the UK in the long run. Don't worry, it will get taxed over and over and over and over again as they pay each other for things.

Velocity is one of those critically important concepts that often gets left out of these discussions because it's hard to understand if you haven't formally studied economics because it's all about second order effects. But it's a big part of understanding why, historically speaking, maximizing corporate profits doesn't seem to correlate all that well with overall prosperity trends.
