The fundamental problem is that tariffs are a tax on the citizens of the country that charges them. Retaliatory tariffs that are high enough or specific enough to shape immediate consumption decisions can move the needle (which is why you do see such responses happening). A universal 10% tariff can affect its target in the long term, but as a short term measure it does nothing but take money out of the pockets of local businesses.
What a blatantly misleading headline, this has to do with the whole Tornado cash prosecution if anyone has been paying attention.
I think it's not that bad, when you consider all goods ands services:

"For technical reasons, there is not one “absolute” figure for the average tariffs on EU-US trade, as this calculation can be done in a variety of ways which produce quite varied results. Nevertheless, considering the actual trade in goods between the EU and US, in practice the average tariff rate on both sides is approximately 1%. In 2023, the US collected approximately €7 billion of tariffs on EU exports, and the EU collected approximately €3 billion on US exports."

After multiple decades of using Windows almost exclusively, I have never seen a folder named like that in the root of any drive, which leads me to conclude that your problem was cause by malware rather than Windows.
> you can even chroot into foreign CPU architectures, which is a handy thing to have when you mount your phone's eMMC

This sounds very interesting! What's the scenario where you'd do this? Would you be, for example, emulating an ARM processor with qemu on an x86 computer and chrooting into Android on an eMMC?
Yesterday the indexes started up 3-4% and finished down at least as much. Risky move but congrats.
Jimmy Carter's peanut farm remembers.
The stock exchange and the tariffs are not the battleground.

Asia started dropping US treasury bills. 30 year bills reached a max in decades

Trump blinked.

Edit: this was front and center in Financial Times, WSJ three hours ago. Now suddenly pushed back, exchange rally being front page news. People don’t understand how close to financial apocalypse we have been. Somebody in the WH scared the shit out of Trump.
I remember how Jimmy Carter had to sell the family farm because it was viewed as a potential conflict of interest and how Mitt Romney's father, when making his run, when asked for a single year of tax returns made them all public, arguing that a single year could easily be manipulated to show anything, and that only by seeing the entirety of multiple years could an accurate evaluation be made.

OTOH, not so long ago, a colleague and I tried to guess the number of piano tuners in large cities, e.g. New York. I find your idea nice, but the execution could be more flexible, more puzzle-like. E.g., you could have units (like #passengers, #planes, #flights, time), and the user can create factors out of those.

But I'm afraid that it'll lose its appeal after a while. These problems seem same-y to me, more so than Wordle.
I hate --help.

First, I hate having to run the program. If I wanted to refresh myself on the shutdown command, running “shutdown --help” would make me extremely nervous!

There have been times where I’ve only had source code and wanted to read the documentation before taking the time to compile it or install dependencies or whatever. With a manpage I can just pipe it through mandoc.

Sometimes --help output is short, sometimes it’s 150 lines long and scrolls off my screen. So I hit up, end, |less, and I get nothing, because in some programs it goes to stderr instead of stdout. So I hit up, end, ^W, 2>&1 |less. Ugh.

And --help is not even close to a universal convention. In some programs --help will open HTML documentation in a browser (really!?). Often programs don’t print help at all, instead printing a generic “bad flag” error. Some will create a file named --help without asking! Some programs don’t use long options and relegate it to -h, or -?.

Manpages are a much more universal convention, thanks to Debian’s policy that all packaged programs have manuals. I don’t even use Debian, but I encounter manuals attributed to them all the time. I do my part by writing manpages for my own software and sometimes contributing new manpages to programs I encounter that don’t have one.
> There is no motivational quantum for attaining the second, or third, or fourth billion, much less the 200th.

That's probably correct. However, if you tax $100b at 40%, then the person has only $60b to invest in creating more wealth.

Fox News is entertainment masquerading as news.
With the, uh, stability of the president it's pretty much a certainty that this will change many times more before you'll get the laptop.

How the hell should a company operate in this kind of climate?
So Trump destroyed the hard-earned 80-year history of the United States for strength and stability for what exactly?

> This sounds like official Chinese propaganda

Go to any top-N American University, pick a random STEM faculty and count the number of Chinese (nationality) post-grads, post-docs and faculty. Alternatively, look at the trajectory of science publications coming out of Chinese universities vs the US. Underestimating China's brain-trust is doing oneself a disservice.
Very interesting.

I was thinking of scaling this up by adding Sunday too, but offline mornings might be even better... I'll look into adding a schedule in the router. I think it might be helpful to program the rule to start in the desired bedtime in the evening to make the pixel devices unexciting and incentivize reading old school books (the most efficient technology for getting me to sleep).

I've heard the advice don't touch the phone/email first thing in the morning so many times, but I can never stick to it, but if my "habit" is enforced at the network layer, I think it is doable ;)

UPDATE: Apparently iOS has a built in automation tool Shortcuts app, which allowed me to schedule this, see https://imgur.com/a/TsQJak3 I added similar rulesets to the router. Watch out world, Ivan's productivity is going to skyrocket!
Bold to launch this before the roll out their own reasoning models / deep research. Seems like table stakes if you want to capture power users but maybe that's just my workflow.
Too late for everyone who spent massively on flying in stock ahead of the tariff deadline. Too late for those forced to sell financial assets in order to pay margin calls. Too late for those working on projects involving foreign manufacturers which have now been cancelled due to tariff uncertainty. Too late for those who lost sales while they figured out pricing. Too early for the people fundraising to build US manufacturing capabilities. What a mess.
Wanna bet? I will give you 5-to-1 odds that there will be elections in 2026, 2028. I win, I pay you $1000 - you win you pay me $200.

> The issue is that they are fundamentally a compromise.

Which is no doubt why most newer applications I see these days have trended towards carrying relations as far as they can go, only mapping with objects at the points where it is absolutely necessary.

> It's also rarely practical to take on the project of making a slightly different set of compromise

I suppose that is the other benefit of delaying mapping until necessary. What needs to be mapped will be more limited in scope and can be identified as such. You don't have to build a huge framework that can handle all conceivable cases. You can reduce it to only what you need, which is usually not going to be much, and can determine what tradeoffs best suit in that. In this type of situation it is likely that using a ORM library is going to be a bigger waste of time, honestly.
From the president of the united states? Especially knowing that controlling tariffs and such are easily argued to be in his core powers, in the current setting, what authority would they possibly have to do something on this?
Thailand is a good example. They have about $40b (USD) in balance of trade going the wrong way. Their initial ideas were simply to import more american petroleum, vehicles and aircraft. This likely could have accounted for more than half the difference and significantly reduced their tariff rate by just changing suppliers of already imported products.

The US news is pretty useless here. It's more nuanced than they would like to admit. Foreign sources of news are the most instructive as they're actually covering the options realistically.
I agree. But as I get older, I wonder if the will exists or can yet exist. I’ve seen pockets, at a distance.

And the horror movie moral trope of trauma unaddressed or unidentified begets trauma is all too true, and even if the will exists outside of those pockets the people can be ill equipped to deliver that education without help.

And any effort to install some kind of help is regularly short-circuited by various measures—intentionally or otherwise.

Edit: I don’t mean to imply hopelessness. I mean, I still pull myself in here to comment. But it is the reality for some.
>Don’t just take a wiped phone: If you are especially worried about your data, you may think about wiping your phone or computer entirely before a trip and restoring from a backup later. However, a nearly blank device can create its own problems.

Wipe your phone. If more people do this before travelling to the U.S. it'll quickly become less "suspicious". This is a privacy issue. I don't have anything to hide, but I also don't like the idea of having the contents of my phone backed up and saved for 15 years. It's just like how there's nothing under my pants that is of interest to the authorities. I just prefer wearing pants.

Another good tip for travelling to the U.S. is to fly, rather than drive, and to do a TSA pre-check at your point of departure. That way, if the Americans get too paranoid, you're not trapped on foreign soil and subject to their whims. You can just cancel your flight and go home.

Better yet, don't travel to the U.S. right now unless you absolutely have to. It's not a good time to vacation there. Your country may have travel advisories in effect for the U.S. (mine does). Listen to them.

Trump is unpredictable. He made a new free trade agreement with Canada and Mexico in his previous term, but has put tariffs on some Canadian goods this time round. That isn't going to reassure investors.

A FTA with the USA would come at a significant price — the UK would be pressured to accept low-quality American agricultural produce, and lower many other standards from their current European level. If it does this, that reduces the global value of British exports.
He was doing similar stuff during his first term. It's just more blatant now.

One thing that LLMs seem to be missing, even after ingesting the whole web, is the super-basic knowledge that every human learns before the age of 3. Most of that stuff in not written anywhere, because it's totally obvious to anyone who can read. A knowledge base like Cyc can be useful to fill these gaps, because it was made for an AI with zero base knowledge and explicitly specifies even the most obvious concepts.

Trump's whole schtick was that #1 - - get countries to negotiate.

Except China. The USA gets 25% of it's bandages from there, and that's no way to prepare to defend Taiwan.

The market is huge. Absolutely someone was considering it. Whether they had time to put plans in motion is a separate matter altogether.
The media outlets are part of the problem. Lots of sanewashing and "both sides". Many of them also love "CEO says a thing" articles where they act as stenographers. You see that with a certain car company's wild promises.
Regarding #2 through #7: they are all true and important. I'm aware of different efforts over the years to address some of them, but they are all definitely active problems.

Note that you are making a casual claim (that junk food lowers intelligence in children) but the paper you cite provides no evidence of causation, only a statistical association between diet and intelligence scores. Further, this association could be caused by the well known fact that parents who are more focused on their child’s well being are not only more likely to provide a diet more in line with health recommendations (less junk) but also more likely to invest in their child’s educational outcomes.
Re "UK electricity prices are set by the highest priced generator which is normally gas"

Worldwide, electricity prices are set by the highest priced generator at the given moment of needed generation -- it's the dispatch curve. And generally, the generators that are the fastest to spin up to meet that incremental load are natural gas fired generators.

As to the GP's point, my intuition (happy to be proven wrong) is more that natural gas, and therefore electricity, is cheaper in the US, simply because it's more abundant in the US.
I am from the future, and the answer is yes, this happened.
> Those aren't guaranteed.

Yeah, if we lived in that world, Trump would have been removed from office during his first term for all the crimes.

It's worth noting that impeaching and removing Trump from office now would actually take fewer votes than the business of overriding the import taxes he's trying to impose with "Canadian fentanyl is scary" emergency powers.

As a big bonus, voting to remove him entirely leaves everyone far safer. He's gonna have a guaranteed tantrum of scorched-earth revenge no matter what you do, but this way he won't have official power to do it with.
Literally all that's on Fox News is lies upon lies in service of the GOP. I do not hold the other channels in my heart, but there are degrees of misleadingness and partisanship.
I haven't used ChatGPT in a while. I used to run into a problem that sounds similar. If you're talking about:

1. Rules that get prefixed in front of your prompt as part of the real prompt ChatGPT gets. Like what they do with the system prompt.

And

2. Some content makes your prompt too big for the context windows where the rules get cut off.

Then, it might help to measure the tokens in the overall prompt, have a max number, and warn if it goes over it. I had a custom, chat app that used their API's with this feature built in.

Another possibility is, when this is detected, it asks you if you want to use one with a larger, context window. Those cost more. So, it would be presented as an option. My app let me select any of their models to do that manually.

The stock market got almost down to reasonable values based on price to earning ratios.

The difference is what the bias tends towards. Jon Stewart made this point a decade ago, and I don't think anything has changed. Fox New is biased in partisan way – specifically protecting and advocating towards the goals of a political party.

NYT, CNN, etc are biased towards other things first (conflict, spectacle, consensus) and while the majority of their staff likely have a liberal bias, they are not actively partisan.

> While real UK manufacture successes (cars, aircraft, satellites, generators, all sorts of high-tech stuff) get completely ignored

Here is my take on this:

For those things, you probably need a lot of technical training and/or advanced degrees.

For fishing you just need to be more or less healthy and be able to follow instructions.

Most people are more or less healthy and are able to follow instructions. A small subset of those has advanced technical training and/or advanced degrees.

Therefore, fishing becomes important because a lot more people can do it, and those people vote.
Or money laundering services for laundering the money of their customers.
Pretty sure you could engineer France leaving the EU by just tweaking fishing quotas, farming subsidy, naming on sparkling wine or removing (as you mention) strasbourg. They will start a riot and then when you don't give in, they'll be gone.

I'm not saying it's what happened to the UK, but we asked for what we needed, got turned down and then left.
If "my control" is another way to say "my will", the issue becomes:

My control is controlled by something outside of my control

Which is technically true, but looks silly. It implies an insatiable desire for power, because no amount of control is satisfying so long as there remains something external. To rephrase again,

There is something outside of my control

Or even more simply,

There is something

So interacting with anything (even in a dream!) brings up this issue due to the thing being an obstacle. The complaint is really "things exist". Oh no!

> When I was working in engineering in the early aughts, we mocked the Chinese as being able only to copy American technology. Today, China is competitive with or ahead of America in key technology areas, including nuclear power, AI, EVs, and batteries.

I wrote this not long after (10y ago) and I think this view is still unpopular now as it was then (for reasons beyond me):

I fully expect Baidu and other tech giants on the Chinese shores to try and push the boundaries of technology. Silicon Valley (and the US) in general has always been the hot-bed of innovation. But with enormous increase in wealth in China (and to an extent in India), I can see these companies being more and more ambitious. Not long ago Andrew Ng of Coursera and Stanford AI Lab fame joined Baidu to further their rival to the 'Google Brain' project.

Xiaomi has long been positioning itself as a company with design chops of Apple, engineering chops of Google, and e-commerce chops of Amazon, all rolled into one-- and I can see where they are coming from. If they manage to pull it off, I guess that's when we'd start seeing the proverbial "Death of Silicon Valley" as in, it loosing its strange monopoly and strangle hold on tech world in terms of both talent and innovation.
