President Trump limits tariffs on most countries to 10% for next 90 days
It's also worth considering that certain industries (fisheries and agriculture for instance) are subsidised. It's in our national interest to maintain production capacity, so profits are the least of our concerns. Both the UK and the EU's agricultural sectors are heavily subsidised mainly for this reason. It's cheaper to import than to produce locally, especially with our environmental standards and targets, but we need to keep producing. More so in the current geopolitical climate.

And whilst nobody wants to risk being starved to submission, it's also equally important to promote more profitable sectors, and tax accordingly, so that we can support our more strategic sectors. I wouldn't say we're doing a good job at that for what its worth.

I worked in the retail; it is the shittiest job I ever had. I was given an abnormal schedule: two days closing, one day opening, one mid shift (and I should work either Saturday or Sunday). The churn is really high: people leave even if they find a better yet shitty job. Which jobs do you want to create in US? Retail jobs or manufacturing jobs?
>We need to anticipate a future where China is equal to America on a per capita basis,

This is a nice way to put it.

Anticipate a world within your life time where China is the dominant economic, technological, military and cultural super power.

Anticipate jealousy, anticipate fear, but know that as Americans who have been top dog for decades there is nothing wrong with not being the best.

Additionally anticipate a changing world view less focused on the view that freedom and democracy as the only possible way to lead and anticipate that despite the fact that China is a communist country and centrally controlled they don't want conflict and they don't want total war.

China and the US are not perfect. The US needs to accept this fact and it needs to accept that another is about to take it's place as the top dog.
It was a terrible idea then and it remains a terrible idea now.
The vaccine hesitant, to my knowledge, still gave their kids the MMR. They have just been sceptical of newer vaccines, e.g. for Covid or the flue. That’s probably a long-term problem. But it isn’t creating pockets of measles- and polio-afflicted kids.

I get where you're coming from, I really do, but I also think that perspective effectively means that you should never migrate -- ever. To anywhere, at all. I take the stance that gentrification is inevitable, unfortunately, but it can be guided and managed (and I say this as someone who's been gentrified out of an area I'd really love to live in for the rest of my life). Just like you can't control the weather, you also can't control migration patterns but you can manage them.

It's because the folks in the back-end of things like what he represents in terms of wealth consolidation and fewer lookie-loos to peek inside to see what's truly going on.

This brings back memories - I owned a large web hosting company and we had thousands of machines. When hardware issues came up, or machines wouldn't boot, using this method was our first line of defense - we'd boot the machine from a burned copy of "Recovery Is Possible" which was an all-in-one Linux distro for recovery, then mount the partitions and chroot in to figure out what is going on - or use rsync to migrate data off as needed.

Just looked and it looks like "Recovery Is Possible" hasn't been updated in a dozen years which dates my story, but I fondly remember overnight phone calls from panicked new sysadmins and telling them to be calm and "RIP it and get chrooted in" and then waking up to help them troubleshoot.
Trump thinks he can replace income taxes with tariffs: https://www.cnn.com/2025/02/20/economy/trump-abolish-irs/ind...

Framework Computers: Tariff-driven price changes for US customers
MAGA is just hate doctrine, rooted in propaganda not a functional worldview. And the hate is primarily reserved for the educated professional class - not even the truly wealthy elites.
Couldn't have said it better myself.

The biology of the human brain will not change as a result of these LLMs. We are imperfect and will tend to take the easiest route in most cases. Having an "all powerful" tool that can offload the important work of figuring out tough problems seems like it will lead to a society less capable in solving complex problems.
just because someone doesn't think and plan just like you do, doesn't mean they will not succeed
Trump has talked about his tariff idea since the 80s, and talked to Oprah about it way back when we lived in a completely different world. I'm not sure his 80s era plan is based on 2025 dynamics that somehow filtered up to him in his first months of office.
> sales taxes are something people innately understand if they have spent any time in the US

The way they are done in the US is maddening. You go to the counter and find the price is higher than the tag price by some random amount. It seems to vary wherever you go and depend on what you buy.

A tariff might actually be better.
That doesn't matter. The loophole is known, possibly even desirable, the point is to save face.

Just like text results from AI, when images like this get better, the more and more subtle yet absolute wrongness is going to be a nightmare to deal with.

Imagine a ask AI to show me a sewer cap that's less than a foot wide (or whatever, I dunno, watch TMNT right now). And it does, just by showing a sewer cap that looks photorealistic and a ruler, that has markings from one end to the other that only go up to 8 inches. That doesn't mean sewer caps come in that size, it just means you can produce a rendered image to fit what you asked for.

I’m not a fan of Trump but my steelman argument for this is: policing public markets is a public good because efficient capital markets are the bedrock of a capitalist society.

It’s hard to make the same case for crypto, which (despite the insistences of its participants) more or less exists in isolation from the rest of the market. The industry feels it is over-regulated. Makes sense that a more lassiez-faire leader would take a more hands-off approach to it.

Indeed you can skip most of the unnecessary additional mount requirements with systemd-nspawn. If /dev/sde1 (your root partition) is mounted to /tmp/rescue just run:

systemd-nspawn --directory /tmp/rescue --boot -- --unit rescue.target

mdoc(7), which is the primary macro set used on BSD systems, is a 90s language (as opposed to a 70s language) with useful semantics that support both hyperlinking and featureful search, both on the web and in the terminal.

For example, here’s a search for “C functions beginning with ‘str’ and with return type size_t”: https://man.openbsd.org/?query=Ft%3Dsize_t+-a+Fn~^str&apropo...

On OpenBSD you can do the same from a terminal:

$ apropos -s 3 Ft=size_t -a Nm~^str

But the biggest value of manpages to me is somewhat independent of the underlying format: its quality as documentation. BSD systems have a strong tradition of cohesive usability, including good manpages. A lot of the manpage alternatives I see advertised in Linux circles (such as tldr pages or bro pages) are of little use to me, because OpenBSD manuals are thoughtfully written, clear, concise, complete, and have useful examples. The difference is very noticeable when I try reading manpages for programs I’ve installed from packages, which are often incredibly sparse or incredibly verbose, and lack examples in both cases.

The nifty features that come from the modern language and tooling used by BSD manpages are really just symptomatic of the overall care that BSD communities put into their documentation generally. I wish it were more widespread in the free software world.
Experimenting with ML-Driven Escape Room Games
The first caption of the cat picture may be a bit misleading for those who are not sure of how this works: "The best a traditional LLM can do when asked to give it a detective hat and monocle."
The role of the traditional LLM in creating a picture is quite minimal (if there is any LLMs used), it might just tweak a bit the prompt for the diffusion model. It was definitely not the LLM that created the picture:

Yes, you heard that right — I open-sourced a YC company.
It was mostly out of sheer desperation. Landing a job as a recent grad these days feels harder than escaping Alcatraz.

I came across a YC company called SpurTest on the Lightcone podcast. They were working on AI-driven QA testing using natural language, and I found it fascinating.

So, I decided to build an open-source version — Neutrino.

I created an AI web agent from scratch using step prompting in a Playwright browser. It simulates how a human would interact with a website to generate end-to-end tests, all driven by natural language.

It’s been a super fun project so far. This is just v1 — still rough in some areas, but fully working.

Right now, I'm experimenting with efficient step-mark prompting technique to make it smarter and faster. I'm also considering fine-tuning Qwen 2.5 VL 7B for reduced cost and better performance down the line.

I think teachers also need to reconsider how they are measuring mastery in the subject. LLMs exist. There is no putting the cat back into the bag. If your 1980s way to measure a student's mastery of a subject can be fooled by an LLM, then how effective is that measurement in 2020+? Maybe we need to stop using essays as a way to tell if the student has learned the material.

Don't ask me what the solution is. Maybe your product does it. If I knew, I'd be making a fortune selling it to universities.
Yes, a small majority agreed.

OpenSSH 10.0 Released to Better Fend Off Attacks by Quantum Computers
If it's a highly interactive chart that's displaying data small enough to easily be transmitted to and manipulated by the client, I agree that server components might not provide much benefit.

The main use cases where server components provide a large benefit are:

1) Web sites with a very large number of components, but where any one page or session will use a very small (and unpredictable) subset of those components. These are things like social media feeds, where there could be many thousands of types of feed items, but most people will see just a handful of them. This is a tricky problem for code-splitting.

2) Components which require a lot of code to perform a render relative to the size of the rendered output. This is stuff like Markdown renderers and syntax highlighting. This benefit becomes even more obvious if the rendered output is mostly static but does contain some islands of interactivity.

I think you actually _should_ assume that he's acting rationally, just that his motivations aren't aligned with what you think they should be. Trump has a mafia mentality, and the purpose of the tariffs has absolutely nothing to do with policy and everything to do with control. He wants to have a guillotine hanging over the head of every country and corporation that he can use at will, so that every CEO has to come to him and bend the knee, so he can grant them an exemption on a case by case basis in return for personal loyalty to _him_.

There is a reason that the power to tax resides in congress, and it's specifically to prevent that. They've just abdicated their role and here we are with a king instead of a president.

Bad analogy. Fortified food provide nutrients to supplement what you get from other foods. One can simply choose to buy white bread that's fortified, or whole foods that have those nutrients naturally.

You can't avoid water for too long though. Ingesting whatever is in the water supply is mandatory. I can't avoid flouride in my water any more than I can avoid Nitrogen when I breathe. I have no choice in the matter. It's the lack of choice that many object to, not the health effects of flouride per se.

Personally, if given the choice, I'd probably still take flouride. Having it in the water is convenient. Mandatory, but convenient.
Yes discretionary (non) prosecution is what opened the door to legalization. Very few lawmakers would run on that issue 20 years ago. But as prosecutors in some areas stopped bringing cases for possession, it became more normalized and full legalization became more acceptable as it was de-facto what was happening anyway. And, it's a new thing to tax which is always going to get attention.
