I see what you are getting at but I have to disagree with alot of what you are saying.

> the US will find itself in the same position the UK is in now

The US and UK are totally different animals at the height of their "empire". The UK currently has little land and alot of it is devoid of minerals(sans coal). They achieved most of their might subjecting other countries and extracting resources from their colonies. Once the colonies and the rest of the world objected the British empire began to crumble as the colonies broke off from the UK.

Contrast that with the US which if it were to jettison its "colonies" (Puerto Rico, Samoa etc) you would see very little drop in GDP. The US has vast swaths of land which is excellent for farming, energy extraction and contains valuable minerals. It has widespread and diverse populations with wildly different ecologies and climates. In addition to a huge amount of resources it has a kings ransom of some of the best universities in the world(stanford, harvard, MIT, etc) and a highly educated society with living standards just below some small asian and european countries. The US also has a peerless military (we need hypersonic weapons however) and many aircraft carriers and nukes as well as world renown special forces groups. And lastly of the top largest 100 companies in the world, 65% are US based and this despite the US only having 4.2% of the worlds population, looking at GDP per country is almost comical as the US has 30T compared to the next largest economy China(19.5T), 3rd place is Germany at 4.9T.
Becoming a doctor in America requires studying 1 semester of statistics which can have been satisfied by a passing score on an AP statistics exam in high school, years before entering practices. The only thing you know about an MD is they got a C or better in biology and organic chemistry at some point, then tolerated years of abuse to get admitted to the guild. There is really no reason at all to believe that a typical MD knows how to interpret medical literature better or even as well as you can.

I am beginning to wonder if there is an actual plan behind these moves beyond creating uncertainty in trading partner's minds.

The stated goal of the administration is to 'reindustrialize' the US by manufacturing more of the goods consumed within the US itself. To get to that goal, tariff barriers are just one part of the story. For tariffs to be effective towards getting to the strategic goal, they need to be coupled with sound industrial policy and a long term execution framework. The three legs of the stool, so to say.

So far, there has been no mention of the other two legs. There is currently no serious bill proposed that aims to apply the required industrial policy and all of these tariffs being imposed under executive orders mean that instability in tariff rates and application is pretty much guaranteed. The very opposite of the stable, long term approach that is needed.

Without the other parts, there is a very high chance that the US will bear the brunt of the short term damage, but with none of the long term benefits.
The website and naming (and product space, sorta) remind me a lot of Parallel Universe. Any direct inspiration there, or shared personnel?
The directors getting paid doesn't make a charity for-profit - that's dependent on what they do with the remaining money after paying salaries. For-profit businesses distribute surplus (i.e. profit) to shareholders.

It's a common complaint that donations should not be used to pay salaries, but the important question should be how much leverage those paid staff can extract out your donation. Skilled people usually don't want to work for free, but they can magnify a donation by reaching more potential donors via advertising, more appealing shops, etc.
This time around he has made sure there are no advisors strong enough to stop him. That means he is far more dangerous now than he was in the first term. And not just in the area of the economy.
I'd much rather have "unlimited" bandwidth with restrictions and the current ambiguous enforcement than clearly defined limits and strict enforcement which penalizes all customers. The current model benefits considerably more people than the alternative.
Then you would just not tax those goods. We already do this with basic foodstuffs; this has nothing to do with tariffs.
I tested that prompt with multiple chatGPT models, Claude Sonnet 3.7 and Deepseek and all mentioned the red queen. Just saying.
In the UK, charity shops got savvy to this and now do their own 'mining'. Valuable items go to HQ to list on eBay for a lucrative price, the remaining dross goes onto the shop shelves.

There are some exceptions to this such as specialist charity bookshops which keep the stock locally, but do make sure to price match with the going rate online.

I sort of view that list as table stakes for a well rounded capable person.. Well barring the invasion bit. Then again, being familiar with guns and or other forms of self defense is valuable.

I think most farmers would be somewhat capable on most of that list. Equations for farm production. Programming tractor equipment. Setting bones. Giving and taking orders. Building houses and barns.

Building a single story building isn’t that difficult, but time consuming. Especially nowadays with YouTube videos and pre-planned plans.

> If it has an association with preventing cancers, not sure why they were so reluctant to immediately open up the patient pool.

Multiple reasons.

The first one is basic ethics. Similar on how you should do rolling upgrades of your SaaS software to catch errors before everything goes down, you got to do the same with vaccines. For there, go for the target group with the highest risk and highest potential of averting damage - and for the HPV vaccine, mid-20 women are the best such group: young enough that they might be lucky and not exposed yet, old enough to fall out of the scope of the usual ethics bureaucracy that (rightfully) comes with doing experimental research involving minors, and not so old that they definitely got exposed and making the effort moot. Then it got rolled out to teenage girls as it was proven safe, and eventually to men as well because we can be asymptomatic carriers (as we are for a lot of STDs).

Obviously if you got the speed of Covid vaccines in mind as a comparison, the HSV vaccine appears slow in rollout speed - but please do not forget, the Covid vaccines went through very speedy trials. We were extremely lucky it worked out the way it did.

The second one is availability. Again, unless it's Covid where everything went into full production power in a matter of months, production has to be ramped up carefully, matching rollout strategies - it doesn't make sense to have a mismatch into either direction.

And the third one is time. With Covid, it was easy to prove effectiveness: the people that got the shot got Covid at waaaay lower rates than the control population (and the risks of side effect were way less than the risk of severe Covid). But with something like HPV that can have years if not decades worth of time between exposure and symptoms, it becomes harder to reasonably judge effectiveness and safety.
The domestic bondholders would pay the inflation tax and are all wealthy enough to have savings, ie, they are also taxpayers. They're not getting out of this no matter what happens; they're going to lose out.

The question is really do the bondholders directly eat the losses (20% foreigners) or US consumers and their tax base eats them (potentially ~0% foreigners although inflation is so complicated in practice it is hard to tell). It'd be pretty easy to handle the situation by a standard default and probably better for the voting base. The risk of the politicians breaking that way is obviously present.

It is risk, it doesn't even have to be likely. It is just the question of "will the bondholder get all the money they're promised?" and the answer can obviously be no. The US can't afford to repay their bonds, purposefully triggering vast inflation would be quite damaging to the US political class and there is a chance they decide not to. It isn't a negligible chance.
Now we are really interested in why they do this—probably for backward compatibility with a 20‑year‑old implementation. It’s not messy, just particular.

These often repeated notions about Jazelle make little sense.

J2ME code for Jazelle based feature phones (with appropriate VMs) was noticeably faster than otherwise, to the point Android raw Java performance did not catch up for a really long time. If you have loads of RAM to JIT later then . . . good, but that didn’t arrive for years after the fact.
I use Insight Timer. The daily streak feature helped me finally make it a habit, after half assing it for many years.

When starting it can be helpful to use guided meditations. There's a bunch in that app (mostly free), and on YouTube of course.

I like Shinzen Young's videos and audiobooks, he takes a very grounded, "technical" approach to this stuff.

My main "lessons learned":

- Do it every day, even if just a few minutes. Makes a huge difference.

- Make awareness broad. This takes practice, it's like a muscle. I made the mistake of making it narrow like a laser, which is much harder, less stable, and less useful! i.e. learn to hold 2, then 3 objects in mind "at the same time". e.g. the breath, and the birds outside, and the "sense of space" of the room.

The classic meditation object is the breath. In my case, that brought up a lot of emotional pain. It's fine to use other objects in that case (though eventually you can learn to integrate / heal the emotions too), e.g. focus on sounds or anything "grounding".

So if I read a personal narrative presented by a source that I can reasonably assume to have a particular political agenda, I can be fairly certain it is presented as a cynical stratagem to manipulate my opinion, rather than any sort of objective presentation of the situation that is actionable. Got it.

Explains why so much “sob story” anecdata gets presented by the two/several ends of the political spectrum. Studies like this say that they work to change opinion, rather than simply validate existing opinions. I can see it being effective in moving people from believing something is impossible to considering it as possible/plausible but not much past that. Nor can I understand how such a study as this can determine a change of opinion is “durable”.

Wonder if this posited “result” holds true across all ages, genders, educational attainment, country of origin, etc.? I’d assume more influential folks would be older and thus less likely to be moved by a single narrative, since they can put the single personal narrative in the context of the hundreds of narratives they’ve heard and lived through in their longer lives.

Yours is a great problem to have if one wants to find a solution.

I tried to work the ics format and Google Calendar but I hate it. All of it is a bad joke.

You should be able to read the text file. If a program is required the format failed.

My idea was that anything that has entries with time stamps should be data enough to import.

Agenda software should get out of the way or not have a say in it. Excuses do not apply. If people want transaction or order history, email or rss feeds, anything! the agenda should take whatever and deal with it.

My work schedule is very simple but all my shifts span across midnight. This was quite hilarious in Google Calendar.

https://support.google.com/calendar/thread/737128/events-spa...

There should really be such nice file formats and api that everyone can just use it for everything. Say, the many stages of a track and trace code can update and somewhat line up with an order history, payments and projects, weather reports etc etc

There seem to be a lot of fun hard puzzles in the space... Besides great time zone technology non of them seem solved.

By lack of good ideas I just use a 3d array now with weeks filled with days that may contain an array of events. Each event type has a number. I know what the numbers mean. In the software they are replaced with icons.

The file names start with the year and have a comma for each day. The legenda [embarrassingly] lives elsewhere.

They can fit in a normal month calendar view or in a timeline placed side by side with similar files made for others.

But then events that span new years eve don't work. haha

Thanks for the write up. Much to think about.
Enhanced reasoning models will repurpose human motivations
Human value systems aren’t fixed. They bend, stretch, and transform as the world around us shifts — driven by the tools we wield, the challenges we face, and the societies we build. What we treasure today isn’t what our ancestors held dear, and it won’t be what our descendants prioritize.

The rise of advanced AI will lead to a re-evaluation of our societal structures, our economic models, and even our understanding of purpose and fulfillment. If traditional forms of work become less central to human identity, we will redefine what we strive for.
It's still wrong, and I don't know how I could explain it more completely:

-ENTRYPOINT service ssh restart && bash
+ENTRYPOINT ["service", "ssh", "restart", "&&", "bash"]

You should read and understand the documentation for the containerfile format before continuing. This isn't some quirk because i'm using &&, you are breaking almost every dockerfile that doesn't use the array syntax for ENTRYPOINT.

You also have to consider the longevity of your strategy. Trump might not care about the value function, but over the longer term the EU could make a bet that the US does and will, one way or another, return to leadership that does. And indeed, they seem to craft tariffs to cause that to happen faster.

Directly running wasm/Java bytecode in hardware is just a bad idea unless you somehow have tons of loopless code that'll only be run once; both are stack-based with an unbounded stack size, so each op would have multiple memory loads/stores.

That’s how I feel about present day humanity with regards to computer tech. I was born around the time of the 8086; my parents never really became fluent with computers.

If you knew you could get by forever without a job, that's very different from having a 3-year period where you can get by without a job. Especially when it comes to people coming of age. Think about the average 18 year old: if they could just 'get by' for a long time, it'd be awfully tempting.
