> Yes, but not all failure modes, only the ones in scope for the goals of the system. From the outside you can't tell what the goals are.

Is basic availability not a goal of a blog?

Phrased differently: given two systems, one that fails if a theoretically possible, but otherwise "unpredictable" number requests arrive. And one without that failure mode. Which is better?

> From the outside you can't tell what the goals are.

I either don't agree, not even a tiny bit, or I don't understand. Can you explain this differently?

> This is the core of engineering.

I'd say the core of engineering is making something that works. If you didn't anticipate something that most engineers would say is predictable, and that predictable thing instead of degrading service, completely takes the whole thing down, such that it doesn't work... that's a problem, no?

I disagree. Trump has been threatening tariffs since 2016. Each step he gets closer to significant tariffs. This time he stepped back after they seemed real.

Now businesses know he really, super means it this time, so they get another reprieve. But next time it would be hard to claim Trump didn’t warn them.
t weekend was looking into setting up a personal networking solution- and looked hard at TailScale and their competitors. I do not like- that Tailscale has chosen to only allow SSO sign-in - as that forces one to have a Microsoft,Github[MS], Google, or Apple account- and I presume that leaves one at the mercy of those companies for the free option.

Not really sure why you left out the tens of thousands of people who were almost immediately laid off when companies and their suppliers idled factories?

In the automotive sector alone - GM, Ford, and Stellantis all flipped the master breaker to "off" on a number of plants and sent everyone packing.

That hire-back will not be instant. People are going to miss payments for rent/mortgage, car loans, utility bills, etc.

Let's not forget that many companies hit the brakes, hard, on exporting goods to the US - so there's going to be the shipping equivalent of those traffic "waves" because two hours ago someone on the highway panic-braked

Per ratio closer to about 1 to 1.5 percent. It differs a bit per country due to deduction rules and additional tariffs. If you leave those out and only look at regular tariffs it is 1.39%.
Did he even declare an emergency for the latest near world-wide tariffs? Are they even pretending anymore? If so I missed it.

Huh, I didn't realize pipewire had builtin support for this! I've been using a different piece of software called Easy Effects[1] on my framework laptop.

To equalize my laptop, I ended up buying a umik-1, and using REW to calculate all the filter coefficients (you can import REW's filter export right into Easy Effects). It's a subtle difference at first, but it's much cleaner (I also usually have a compressor and loudness effect enabled, as the framework speakers are pretty quiet).

I think there is a very big difference between Stewart and Tucker.

You might not agree with Stewart's principles, but he has them and will fight his own party over it. Tucker flew over to Russia to kiss Putin's behind and even Putin made fun of how bad it was. He then tried to show how awesome it was in Russia and made it obvious that he hasn't been in a grocery store in ages.

A side effect of this that I've started to notice on a few of my repositories are fake accounts trying to bolster their perceived credibility when they are very obviously (terrible) AI accounts - down to their profile READMEs (on GitHub) that have obvious LLM output, pointing to links that don't exist, etc. and in some cases even LinkedIn profiles that are completely fabricated.

I just had a PR opened that was a two character change, in Javascript, changing `if (!warned)` to `if (!== warned)`. They assured me, in an H1 no less, that they had tested everything and that it was fixing some problem, but didn't say what.

What the hell is happening, and what are we supposed to collectively do about this? Or is this just some new norm we'll have to adapt to?

The idea would be that different parts of the supply chain would build factories in the US to avoid tariffs. Money collected on tariffs would be redistributed in the form of tax cuts.

The end goal would be 0% corporate and income taxes, funded with high tariffs. Over time the US re-industrializes.

> I said that learning visual reasoning from video is probably not enough

Fair enough; you did indeed say that.

> if you claim it is enough, you have to reconcile that with failures in Sora, Veo 2, etc.

This is flawed reasoning, though. The current state of video generating AI and the completeness of the training set does not reliably prove that the network used to perform the generation is incapable of physical modeling and/or object permanence. Those things are ultimately (the modeling of) relations between past and present tokens, so the transformer architecture does fit.

It might just be a matter of compute/network size (modeling four dimensional physical relations in high resolution is pretty hard, yo). If you look at the scaling results from the early Sora blogs, the natural increase of physical accuracy with more compute is visible: https://openai.com/index/video-generation-models-as-world-si...

It also might be a matter of fine-tuning training on (and optimizing for) four dimensional/physical accuracy rather than on "does this generated frame look like the actual frame?"
Can confirm. As an API user, "overloaded" errors have been happening pretty often lately.

I bought ocean fish roe from my local Euro store. “Product of Belarus” which is of course landlocked.

Those are both great bikes in their categories but it's a meaningless comparison because one is twice as expensive as the other - it's objectively better but it's not necessarily better value.

I don’t get the outrage. Trump did this with Mexico. He imposed tariffs and then immediately eased them when Mexico started negotiating. It worked. Wouldn’t a rational market understand his behavior by now (not agree with it, but understand it). Especially since his stated goal has been “impose tariffs to spur renegotiation of trade terms”. Why would a rational market actor be acting like Trump isn’t doing what he’s said he’s doing?
Brain washing masquerading as entertainment masquerading as news.
Being able to do basic math in your head is valuable just in terms of basic practicality (quickly calculating a tip or splitting a bill, doubling a recipe, reasoning about a budget...), but this is a poor analogy anyway because 3x2 is still 3x2 regardless of how you get there whereas creative work produced by software is worthless.

Also nearly 100% tariffs on one of the biggest trading partners is unlikely to hold for very long. There's probably a lot of options because of that.

Indeed. But the path he chose since 2016 is a bit suboptimal for making money. Don’t you think? Or do you think the long con was to become president for this week?

I’m not trying to ascribe moral character either. Power, status, fame, etc are just so much more compelling.

Quoting Wikipedia's source, Forbes estimated her donations were $120 million to date in 2012. However, she co-founded her own charity in 2005, of which she is the president, and I suspect most of it has been donated in that direction.

Personally, I'm always dubious of the rich and famous genuinely finding unmet cases for charitable organisations. Especially when they've made a fortune outsourcing being morally dubious to others - she can save children because others are paying her to be allowed to sell low quality merchandise almost certainly made in exploitative conditions.

She's not alone, there's many more e.g. Messi donating lots to children's cause through his own charitable organisation after gladly being a global ambassador for unhealthy snacks targeted at children.
Aren't you optimistic!
The only aggregate alternative to holding T-bills is to hold dollar bank accounts. At which point the bank holds the T-bills instead or the Fed does as balancing assets to the account liability.

It could all be refinanced to three month bills without any issue at all.

Ultimately balance sheets have to balance. In a floating exchange rate system there is no aggregate out.
> Although a big critique I have of Globalism is that the gains from trade are not evenly dispersed automatically so countries like the US really need to raise the top tax rate and increase (or at least not lower) redistribution otherwise you get high income equality.

I agree with that critique, though it may be a problem with this specific version of Globalism, not globalism itself.

But do you think there is more equitable distribution with mercantilism or protectionism? Why would that be? In those systems government officials choose who gets the benefits; you can't get them for yourself. Also, they tend to oppress less powerful countries - globalism's astounding record of raising people from poverty all over the world is absolutely unmatched. People take for granted the relative prosperity in China, India, Brazil, ... - nothing like it ever happened before.

> if the USA had continued to practices mercantilism post-WW2 then we wouldn't have complaints about the lack of manufacturing.

You assume this mercantilist government can effectively manage manufacturing, and that it wouldn't deteriorate, having no competition. Industry without competition tends to do that. Basically, enshittification is doing that intentionally.

With only 5% of the population the US would not have nearly enough manufacturing capacity to meet modern needs.

Finally, keeping people in manufacturing (how? by force?) would prevent them from taking the newer, higher productivity jobs that followed.

The US was much less wealthy - order of magnitude at least - in the 1950s (or whatever golden age people think of). You don't want to go back to that economy.

> The industrial plants in China would've never been built by US investment because that's literally handing money away to another country.

If it was handing away money, then why would someone invest in it? They invest because the investment generates returns, in this case massive returns that changed hundreds of millions of lives and provided wealth that was used to buy and invest in yet more things.
>What seems most likely to me in the future is that the US will find itself in the same position the UK is in now.

Not quite. USA is big enough to be able to be self sufficient if they keep mexico and Canada tightly bound via NAFTA or military might. UK have no option but to trade. UK was rarely able to feed and fuel itself after the industrial revolution.
We have nine months of expenses in cash outside of retirement accounts and working up to 12 by the end of next year. But besides that, I’m not changing anything about our investment plans or our travel plans.

I have been in the job market since 1996 and had to find a job both last year and the year before. I’m on my 10th job. None of the fundamentals ever change:

Live below your means so you can take a job that pays less than you are making, keep an emergency fund, keep an updated resume and career document. Also keep an active network and always be interview ready.

Also play the political game at your job and be sure to be in profit centers not cost centers. Market yourself both internally and externally.
Trump posted on social media this morning that it was a great time to buy. A couple of days ago, he said people should be buying low and that it was a great time to get rich.

I’m convinced this was his plan all along, and his friends were all in it.
No their population decline is felt already, they don't have enough people to fill the factories right now and too many highly educated people. This is mostly about people in non stem related fields and non elite universities. If you're a young chinese with a so-so degree you're basically fucked. The UN estimations are fully off for all countries in the world (look at the actual fertility rates published by countries). If you look at UN you'll see like 1.7 fertility rate for colombia, in reality it's 1.0. All countries are kinda demographically fucked, the US is the one that's doing the best. They have been forging their demographic numbers for years already as well. I'm not saying it looks rosy for the US but it's not great for china either unless you believe in some kinda rapid rise in robotisation in the next 10 years.
