Well done sir
On the contrary, I think he got everyone's attention and they're coming to the bargaining table willing to make a good deal for the US. It's exactly the tactics espoused in Art of the Deal.

I think there are two things at play here.

1) Narrow the gap between the wealthy and the rest: attempt to reduce the US public sector, backtrack on globalization, and enact policies to benefit the median American, not the mean American [1].

2) Prepare the US for possible conflict with China (maybe over Taiwan) and avoid supply chain disruption that would make Covid look mild.

I think both of these things are sensible positions to take.

When you look at it through this lens, it starts to have some logic to it. Again we can debate the merits and drawbacks of this strategy, but I think it's what is behind everything. Things like his stance on Panama start to fit into the picture when you look at it this way.

It is not the actions of someone stupid or insane.

and on the flipside, the Chinese government routinely uses this same route for espionage and theft of American academia and STEM research.

that is a silly argument. If you put up a billboard on someone else’s property without permission that would be illegal. If you drop a pamphlet on the ground in your own yard that is perfectly legal.

In your perfect billboard free world, would you also ban signs outside of a business saying what is on sale? what about signs outside a private residence?

What kinds of property would be allowed to display what kinds of sign?

I could see telling government agencies they cant rent billboard space out on the side of the road, but if someone puts a billboard on their roof or the edge of their property I think it would be gross to stop them.
They've created a business model any metropolitan community can duplicate for practically nothing, and the first community that does so will share their notes with the rest of us.

People should be asking themselves if their service is a quango waiting to happen, because most of them definitely are.
I think GP remark was just a funny take on 'think of the children!'

You're taking it to the extreme whereas a 10% cost basis of a physical good sold to consumers isn't really that far off. If Dewalt claims one of their tools is worth "$200", yet it regularly sells for $100 still with enough margin for domestic distribution, "free shipping", no fault returns, branding/engineering cost of their domestic employees, etc, how much do you think they actually pay the Chinese factory? That's going to be the number written on a cargo manifest even without any shenanigans.
What did you think of that book?
A bit off-topic, but I wonder when Cursor is going to see a massive price increase. I've tried Aider (granted, this was when GPT4 prices were still much higher) and spent $10 in one hour easily. Now I use cursor a LOT (100h focussed programming time per month) and mostly stay within my $20 monthly fee. I think they must be losing money on customers like me.
Is the CEO working at 4 companies in a transparent manner, approved by the boards of their companies? Then I don't see any problem.

If you want to work at 4 companies and your 4 managers don't have a problem with it, then go for it. Real problem arises when one lie about it and does it stealthily. Lying shouldn't be allowed, neither for CEOs nor for worker bees.

This man's absurdity never ceases to amaze me. How can his supporters appreciate all this - constant - chaos?

Moreover, from the outside (European here), it looks like the US president can literally do whatever he wants without being subject to regulations or facing any consequences - pretty much like a dictatorship. No discussion, no parliament, no opposition taken into account. Crazy.
> not any less scientific

In theory, no. In practice, yes. One doesn't even need to make a subtle case about all the ways it's gone wrong. Just say "Reproducibility Crisis".
Not sure they even need that. Today Trump tweeted "now is a great time to buy" before announcing a tariff pause 1h later.
> Regarding #1-- is it possible you have a drinking problem?

You don't have to be an alcoholic (I don't even drink) to agree that with OP that #1 is an arbitrary reduction of freedom. Especially when walking around with a gun is totally fine. Which one has a larger potential of killing somebody?

(And before you make some other ridiculous insinuation, we're talking here about walking, not driving.)
We joined the ParseMania.com waiting list yesterday and got early access. Honestly, it’s already making a real difference.

We’ve been using it to extract our employees’ receipts like gas and meals and now the data flows straight into our ERP. No more manual entry. No more back and forth.

It handles scanned documents, PDFs, even data from websites and turns it into clean structured data. Still in private beta but if you’ve got a real use case, I’d recommend getting on their list.
So if you cozy up to the mad king, he'll tell you what he plans to do with appropriate notice. This is the least American tyrannical bullshit I've ever seen in this country, and nobody should be condoning it.

The most important thing that can be done for the prosperity of America right now is to put an end to the senseless fraud and nonsensical policy promoted by the snake oil salesman of the MAGA movement.
>Or is there a fringe number of folks that think otherwise?

If about 30 million people count as a fringe number, yes.
> Instead, economic trust in the US--built up over decades--is being actively firebombed into the dirt by the new Republican regime.

I think that's an important thing to reiterate.

This isn't Trump. This isn't MAGA. This is the entire Republican Party apparatus that is allowing this to continue. The Republicans of the Nixon, Regan, Bush eras are long gone.
> Americans need to get over their view of “Asia” as being about making shoes.

The vast majority of us were over that decades ago. Please catch up for the sake of all humanity.
Theres discussion distinguishing hard real-time (what you describe), firm real-time (infrequent deadline misses are problematic but managable), and soft real-time (missing deadlines aren't a big deal). Node does a pretty hood job with soft real-time.
Kinda? I’m starting to regret using auth as an example! Dan recommended Sam’s talk to you. He explains that with better examples and more clarity than me.
It's easy to assume everyone thinks the same way. It's hard to comprehend just how different other lifestyles might be, so it's just easier hand wave it all away. It might not even be intentional or consciously being done.
The tariffs are a really huge problem. That said, you're right that the uncertainty is an even larger problem. I don't think that the administration could do a better job of harming the US, US interests, and the world if it tried.
Can do the work the next day to reinforce.

As I said there are countries without homework and they seem to do ok. So it’s not mandatory by any means.
I think you're spot on. I'm not generally a fan of Rolex, but I really like this. Feels like the first release to live up to their brand in a while. I think you're right about the hexagons too, I didn't care for them at first but they have already grown on me.
Who said you were selling something?

My point is that the entire approach is architecturally far more complex than is suitable for the vast majority of projects. You have influence and people will make real world decisions to choose unnecessary complexity because of this article.

Why do 150 lines when 10 lines of PHP is functionally equivalent to the user? The user doesn't care about your execution model. They just want some information or to submit a form. Adopting an RSC-like technology makes development more complicated and take longer.

If you're building Figma or something then sure, go nuts with the complicated things. The tradeoff probably makes sense.

For the other 99% of us, this model just gets in the way.
The administration has signaled that they expect to negotiate acceptable balance-of-trade deals with the US's Asian allies over the next few weeks. If that happens, I can see businesses being certain enough to make investments. Until then I'm bracing for a recession too.
Most politics chatter is in-group therapy sessions. For SC libs under a Republican administration the analysis becomes: did the majority push the Republican button? And the analysis ends there.

For this therapeutic session there is no room for looking beyond the absolute surface of the issue, like you did.

But unfortunately these narratives don’t just get trotted out among apolitical libs. The political scientist Rachel Bitecofer had a social media meltdown when Trump won. And again the analysis was “who pushed the Republican button”.
The independent IGs installed after all Nixon's criming might be in a good position to check up on that.

But he illegally (without required notice period and specific reason provided to Congress) fired them right at the beginning of his term.
Making money laundering of fraud money easy finding the fraudsters becomes nearly impossible.

It’s still prosecuted just without result.
You are on the right path.

I think the latest GenAI/LLM bubble shows that tech (this hype kind of tech) doesn't want us to learn, to think or reason. It doesn't want to be seen as a mere tool anymore, it wants to drive under the appearance that it can reason on its own. We're in the process where tech just wants us to adapt to it.
Actually incredibly good benchmark site, thanks for sharing!
Doesn't make much sense, if you're insider trading you profit more if you move one stock a lotlotlot vs all the stocks merely a lot.
The statute of limitations for many crimes exceed the term of any executive, so this is quite risky to rely on. You could just be prosecuted by the next guy for crimes done under the previous guy.
If this is actually true that's kinda insane. They seem trivial to honeypot for the police though (and then follow the trail to the leak).
AI accelerates American disruption by democratizing software creation and deployment. However, we must proactively address the societal implications, from job displacement to concentration of power. Tech leaders should engage policymakers to craft smart regulations that promote responsible innovation while mitigating risks. Collaboration is key to shaping AI's transformative impact.
It brought a large number of countries to the negotiating table, and shows he’s willing to execute on threats of keeping tariffs high for an individual country.

Now is the ripe time, 90 days, to make a deal with the US and offer the best terms.

The whole point of Trump is to leverage uncertainty, make an unrealistically high water mark, then go down from there (to a point thats still very favorable)

This rationale can explain many actions he’s taken. Is it reckless? Risky? For sure. Does it work? It has in the past, let’s hope it does for the global financial system, for everyone’s sake.
Well, putting the idea of malvertising aside, I don't think this would even prevent it. An app 'layer' would be separate from the OS. Though they wouldn't be able to taint the OS, so that's a plus.

I don't agree with the idea of installing extra apps, especially to paying customers, but that's a separate discussion.
I mean it's all right there out in the open. He fired anyone who could hold him accountable and now he is openly manipulating the markets.
Doesn't matter if it is, he would just pardon himself.

Edit: On second thought, he wouldn't even have to, since he already has immunity anyways.
Illiteracy is common.
Of course they were bonkers. You still had to know when the bottom was and when he was going to announce the reversal. Many people assumed he would keep it up for at least a week before pulling back. If he had the market would have pulled back even more. It's easy to time the market when you're from the future.
I'm well aware--not saying it's a good idea to invest in China, but many investors are trying it now thanks to the success of companies like DeepSeek. I have a feeling many of them will be eating large losses in the not-so-distant future.
Trump has now shown his hand. Even with the tariffs on China remaining, it’s clear that Trump will back down on any extreme positions he takes. So, expect the china tariffs to be backed off soon too (once he gets some concession that he can brandish as a win).

In 3 months, sell your positions, let him play his stupid games and re-buy once he backs down, because he will. Or just hold and ride it out.

10% sounds like where we’ll default to in the long-term because that was the ‘base rate’ for everybody anyway. He just wants to rattle his sabre, especially with China.

It’s quite pathetic, really, but weirdly I feel slightly more calm about the situation now that I realise he hasn’t got the bottle to follow through.
Trump didn't back down until after the 30 year auction went well, which doesn't support your hypothesis.
Like I said, on a scale we've never seen before.
like what, for example?
What makes you think this?

Separate, possibly unrelated question: what was trump’s goal when he created and rug pulled the Trump coin?
It was in the FT but they reported it as rumour.
Fair point. It's reasonable to conclude that a lot of the impetus is coming from Trump himself. On the other hand, the Biden admin quietly kept Trump's first-term China tariffs, even though they reversed many other Trump policies. So that suggests some involvement of the wider foreign policy establishment that's continuous over changing administrations
Lol. The best they can propose for 200 is "not throttling"
Yep. He flip flops like a dying fish. There is no way to predict what idea he's going to have 90 days from now.
> Google Search made intuition and deep understanding and encyclopedic knowledge MORE important, not less.

Not to mention discernment and info literacy when you do need to go to the web to search for things. AI content slop has put everybody who built these skills on the back foot again, of course.
I don't. I'm saying all prior bets are off, though I do think US is going to be in the center of the nexus of pain, even if China is also hurt.
> Americans need to get over their view of “Asia” as being about making shoes.

I blame Peter Zeihan for this kind of thinking. His views are immensely popular in the very powerful and influential circles. And he constantly derides China's capabilities. Since 2014 he's been saying it's going to collapse any day now. He still says it.
SPX E-mini futures calls near the money doubled in the space of 1h. Everyone Trump tipped off potentially doubled their money with zero risk
Why would a company go through the trouble of building a factory when the next administration could just reverse the decision four years from now? Building factories will take years
You need liquidity when recessions come. Less liquid assets go for lower than usual since cash is king during those times.

But nobody can predict recessions.
The alternative you mention is more likely, given all we know. On the other hand, why not both.
If Trump is hoping to push the 10 year treasury rate down so he can roll the 9 trillion coming due in June, he is in for a wakeup. China is selling their holdings and driving the rates up. He is going to actually have to have a grownup negotiation with them rather than going scorched earth.
It's partially an educational problem. I'm old enough to have been taught an idealized version of U.S. history in school. We learned things like how George Washington chopped down his father's cherry tree, but when his father asked him if he had done it, he "could not tell a lie." There was Honest Abe, who, as a child, walked 5 miles to return 2 cents that had been given to him as change in error.

Now, maybe this stuff wasn't all historically true, but in a sense it was better than true. It set an expectation for an ideal President. Serious dishonesty was taught as being disqualifying for the office of President, and honesty was taught as the deepest American value. Even if, in reality, prior Presidents hadn't always been honest, it created a tendency for voters to strongly prefer honest appearing candidates. Nixon's resignation was maybe the strongest affirmation of this principle that ever happened. I think it was with Clinton that this broke, and people started not to care too much about honesty and exclusively focus on their own perceived interests. Certainly the media environment, economic conditions, and the decline of mainline Protestantism had something to do with it too.
Are you people?
Okay, but “cancel culture” included people losing their livelihoods.

This wasn’t just a marketing term nor just criticism.

Both have the outcome of muzzling speech that one doesn’t like.

Neither are okay.
Art of the deal. Thank you President Trump!
Ah, there's the rub. Even with a smoking gun there's no political will to do anything about it.

> are completely insane

More likely detached from reality, laser focused on personal gain, and punishing perceived enemies.
The joke/point/suggestion the person you're replying to is making, is that the US has lost that title.
What a shit show...
Not even masquerading. They came out and stated publicly that they're an entertainment company.
I assume it was part of the deal he made to get elected: Take the US out of the game internationally, and you can be in charge of whatever's left over. Nothing else adequately describes his actions.
I'd say you should brace yourself for rides like this for the next 45 months.

> With LLMs instantly see "how it's done" for my exact problem case which makes me learn way faster.

No, you see a plausible set of tokens that appear similar to how it's done, and as a beginner, you're not able to tell the difference between a good example and something that is subtly wrong.

So you learn something, but it's wrong. You internalize it. Later, it comes back to bite you. But OpenAI keeps the money for the tokens. You pay whether the LLM is right or not. Sam likes that.
I already had to go through so many hoops to sign up for a teams account for 5 separate accounts for myself, I wonder if this will be any better or not. At least if one account starts getting dumb or somehow runs out of context, I can just switch, but if something goes wrong and your $200 account exponentially loses context, then you are stuck waiting. Anyone have any idea of the actual differences?
What's with all the typos in this article? They don't have any editors?

They're not going out of their way to annoy us, they try to be efficient with the finite resources a home server has. Netflix is going out of their way to make it smooth no matter what you do, even if they have to pool a bit of their own resources for it.
Derivatives had huge moves based on these announcements. Out-of-the money SPX E-mini puts went up 10x after tariffs were announced. Near-the-money E-mini calls doubled after today's announcements. These are zero-risk insider strategies.
The reality is that countries like spain have come out and said they need to move closer to China as USA is not a stable trading partner, within 24hrs of this Trump has back tracked, I'm sure MAGA will say this is all part of the mega master plan but at least to me its more the realisation this was turning into a car crash and he still has a window to somehow in trumps mind blame it all on the chinese
Yup, people have this romanticized 1950s view of a "factory" full of tools that they last saw in high school metal shop, employing middle-to-working-class people to run those tools making widgets by hand, and that simply isn't what a factory is in 2025. It's more often than not one poorly paid dude emptying out trays from a fully-robotic line.
> it’s clear that Trump will back down on any extreme positions he takes.

That has always been the case with him. That's literally his negotiation tactic.

Hard to say that's the exact compromise he'd want, as you say he's unpredictable.
/can/ is doing some heavy lifting here. Management is just as capable of forcing tools that look good in 15 minute demos but suck for power users on developers.
I care?? Much of my family works in trades, have their own small businesses with employees and are very much subject to tariffs for their supplies. They did not vote for any of this.
Regardless of naming, they don't have a model competitive with o1 Pro for coding (or with Gemini 2.5, for that matter). As someone who pays $200/month for GPT Pro I definitely wouldn't pay the same for Claude (and am considering cancelling GPT Pro if they don't deliver something better than Gemini 2.5 soon).

401k is just trickle down economics. Shrink the wealth gap and then this argument holds water.

As it is it lets the billionaires hold us hostage and the wealth gap will continue growing.
Evidently Congress gave the presidency emergency powers to do what he wants with tariffs, all he has to do is declare an emergency. Just one more example of how Congress is completely broken.
I hope you're joking. This applies "efficient enough" is 100% effective and tooth decay is the only reason for dentists. The vast majority of my dental visits have been unrelated to cavities, and the studies I've seen quote 25% efficacy, which I'd hope you'd agree isn't "no effect!"
We are in for this ride, at indefinite intervals, for the next 3.75 years. Well, unless congress grows a collective sack (unlikely) or President Trump comes to his senses on macro economics (past experience suggests this is impossible).

> How are businesses supposed to plan anything in this environment?

They cannot. This is how you can tell Trump was never a real businessman, but rather a TV host and a celebutante. I'd venture nearly all major American business, public and private, depend on stability in the American government. Trump's actions make it painfully clear he is not, and never was, really part of the "business" or "deal making" world.
