Sounds like a sage take (where do I study economics?), but why do people doubt the meaning is as straightforward as the messaging: during campaigning trump said he would rectify the unfair tariffs, and in the lead-up and since election he has talked lovingly about tariffs, with the goal being (as almost everything trump) domestic fortification through jobs, industry, and generating revenue from those who have abused the US largesse to enrich themselves - and now balk at a just correction.

I think there is a backdrop/larger picture (probably nuanced and multifaceted levers against all other parties negotiating), but the main I think is to shake up the global economic landscape to make it easier to improve it. Reset.

I see a lot of complex takes on here that require quite a lot of sophisticated theories...and while I enjoy the complexity and the perspectives (and - wish I had studied economics to really grok them), I think it's really just as simple as they say. And what they say they're doing makes sense.

Maybe the truth is no one really knows what will happen, and so it's a bold move but we'll see. But I believe they're doing what they think is right for America to strengthen the country, just as they say - not some 3 degree removed chess strategy, just simple.
But this isn't Meta operating in China. This is Chinese companies operating in the US.

It's not clear to me why it matters that Chinese companies advertise on Facebook, nor in what way this would give them leverage to force Facebook to commit the treason alleged by this article.

Without further evidence the story isn't really adding up.
Agreed, and the same goes for most strategic sectors: energy, agriculture, animal husbandry, semiconductors, communications, space, the infrastructure to support all these, education, etc.
Can we stop with MBA bashing?

I feel it degrades a whole group of people to a specific stereotype that might or might not be true.

How about lawyers, PhDs, political science majors, etc.

Let’s look at the humans and their character, not titles.

By the way, I have an MBA too and feel completely misjudged with statements like that.

>In remarks to a hearing convened by Sen. Josh Hawley (R-Mo.), Wynn-Williams alleged that Meta executives worked vigorously to “win favor” with leaders in Beijing to build an $18 billion business in China.

Has Hawley demonstrated similar interest about Elon's business dealings in China? Elon owes much of his net worth to the CCP's Shanghai factory.
This sounds sensible but that's not what happened. The government debt is not an issue. Trump is more concerned about the stock market, and the market sent him a clear message.
If an agent could wrap itself in an MCP server, would that make A2A redundant?
The market doesn't know anything, the people who are trading are trading on FOMO and sentiment, because valuation is completely unpredictable when the global economy is being dictated by one man.
If we're going full Mao, we'd be remiss if we didn't note that their plan for industry during the cultural revolution was "the proletariat will own small smelting operations next to their house". It checks out ideologically, workers controlling the means of production.. it just didn't work in reality.

Reminds me a lot of the thought process around having more manufacturing in the US by slapping tariffs around.
> So how do I answer my child when he asks "Why should I learn to do X if I can just ask an LLM and it will do it better than me"

1. You won’t always have an LLM. It’s the same reason I still have at least my wife’s phone number memorized.

2. So you can learn to do it better. See point 1.

I wasn’t allowed to use calculators in first and second grade when memorizing multiplication tables, even though a calculator could have finished the exercise faster than me. But I use that knowledge to this day, every day, and often I don’t have a calculator (my phone) handy.

System Rescue used to be Gentoo based and then switched to Arch. You can install both Arch and Gentoo with SR and obviously you can install Arch with a Gentoo install CD and vice versa.

SR also has some rather handy SAM database editing facilities. Mount Windows at /mnt and then enable and reset the Administrator password. Jolly handy for getting super duper user access on a Windows box.

Its been a while since I installed Gentoo but you can probably quite easily add more stuff to your Gentoo install CD. I don't know if Gentoo have added a script to do all the bind mounts but "arch-chroot /bin/bash" is very convenient. I used to forget about /sys.

Well, Since I am close to a Shoe Palace, I just walked in and talked to the sales man. He likes selling New Balance, and the price ranges from $34 to $167, and the $167 is a discount of 33%. I talked to him long enough that the assistant manager came over, and both of the really were ashamed at shoes made in Vietnam, and Cambodia, they got it, and I told them that

In my previous discussions here, many people have claimed that US is better than China specifically because there is rule of law and freedom of speech even if the overall quality of life is worse here.

Now, it seems there is no freedom of speech or rule of law and we are screwed on quality of life anyways.

Nothing prevents it. All they would have to do is loosen the DRM just enough to make just the GPLv3 stuff modifiable. It would be incredibly trivial for Apple to start shipping GPLv3 software, but they are stubborn.

It doesn't matter who coherent the output is - the students will paste it anyway, then fail the assignment (and you need to deal with grading it) and then complain to parents and school board that you're incompetent because you're failing the majority of the class.

Your post is based in a misguided idea that students actually care about some basic quality of their work.
There's lots of different kinds of art, some of it more commercially viable than others. Consider 3D designers selling print models, people like myself who are interested in restoring old cars or other endeavors that are artistically rewarding and aren't just painting or sculpting. Hell, people seem to do pretty well currently as content creators on YouTube.

My point is immediately jumping to the idea everyone's going to be pumping out shitty paintings and music that no one will want is lacking in imagination.
You don't actually think he's making these decisions himself do you? He has advisors for these things.
The T-bill strategy wasn't a secret. Why they walked it back could also be attributed to bringing trade partners to heel at a point of maximum leverage. Or a lack of resolve in leadership. Or messaging and opportunism.

Will it pay off? Who knows. If it does, it will go down as one of the greatest gambits in modern history. If not, perhaps the end of dollar hegemony? End of the Global American Empire? Or nothing at all?

I'm not an economist but I believe this is only the case so long as USD is the global reserve currency. If that ceases to be the case, the Fed has a lot less power to print money and inflate debt away. I believe this is the case Ray Dalio has been making for some time now:

He has asked to not reveal it and not likely to reveal it. I asked him about it because I think the press would be insane, but it's a niche B2B SaaS and he doesn't want the "made with AI" branding to hurt the image of the product from a customer perspective. Second concern is people trying to hack it in case the LLM took shortcuts on security.

But I can say that as a 20yr+ eng. and having worked with him on a prior startup, I'm super, super impressed how far he got by himself in under 4 months. Basically a full-blown industry specific CRM with Stripe integration, OCR from mobile web app, desktop web app, marketplace. He himself is concerned that it's the end of SaaS as he thinks anyone can build these things now, but I think there's still a bit of a chasm when it comes to some ancillary pieces like databases.
Lego is pure IP (both from LEGO itself, and then e.g. Disney or whoever is behind the theme of a given set). If you get sets designed in China and made at the same factories that make Lego bricks, they're like 1/3 the cost. If you get sets designed in not-China but obviously ripped off ("Star World" sets that are 1:1 copies of Star Wars legos), also in the same factories, it's like 1/10 the cost.

The manufacturing isn't easy, sure, but it's more or less a solved problem and not at all reflected in the cost.

So when GP says priced like Lego, they just mean that - priced based on something completely different from the cost of materials, manufacturing, etc.
None of this is meaningful. IQ as national population-level statistic is folkloric. China may well have a human capital advantage over the US; that's what you'd expect from a country with over 3x as many people. But it has nothing to do with biological differences between Americans and Chinese people.
Of course! That would save them even more money! Prisoners make $0.33 to $0.45. I saw a McDonald's sign during an uprising that said "Prison Labor = Slavery"
This is what the neo-liberal economic program has been doing all my life. "Free-trade" and globalization just mean that companies deploy lobbyists to DC and state houses to write legislation that picks winners and losers, erect barriers for some and tear them down for others, and concentrate wealth in the hands of a tiny few while spreading enough of it around to the professional managerial class and petit-bourgeoisie to keep the whole machine running. Blue-collar workers were put in direct competition with low wage workers overseas while white-collar workers were protected from foreign competition, unionization declined under constant attack, and middle-class wages stagnated while coastal and urban elites pulled away. Middle-class people were mollified, however, by rising living standards courtesy of cheap goods delivered by long supply chains connecting far-flung places with big box stores that landed right on the outskirts of their little towns, by the good graces of their hardworking counterparts toiling away in those far-flung places, and by large trade surpluses and easy money. And, it did have social consequences: the withering of small town life, the atomization of community, and the working-class revolts of the last 20 years as the machine started to sputter.

It's important to note that it doesn't have to be this way. This isn't the natural order of things. There IS no "natural order of things." This is a choice. You're free to like that choice if it suits you, but nobody is obliged to like it, and if you don't there is a tried-and-true program for forcing other choices: organize, unionize, and galvanize.
Which word will I pick next in this sentence? Is it deterministic? I probably wouldn’t respond the same way if I wrote this comment in a different mood, or at a different time of day.

What I say is clearly not deterministic for you. You don’t know which word will come next. You have a probability distribution but that’s it. Banana.

I caught a plane yesterday. I knew there would be a plane (since I booked it) and I knew where it would go. Well, except it wasn’t certain. The flight could have been delayed or cancelled. I guess I knew there would be a plane with 90% certainty. I knew the plane would actually fly to my destination with a 98% certainty or something. (There could have been a malfunction midair). But the probability I made it home on time rose significantly when I saw the flight listed, on time, at the airport.

Who I sat next to was far less certain - I ended up sitting next to a 30 year old electrician with a sore neck.

My point is that there is so much reasoning we do all the time that is probabilistic in nature. We don’t even think about it. Other people in this thread are even talking about chairs breaking when you sit on them - every time you sit on a chair there’s a probability calculation you do to decide if the chair is safe, and will support your weight. This is all automatic.

Simple “fuzzy logic” isn’t enough because so many probabilities change as a result of other events. (If the plane is listed on the departures board, the prediction goes up!). All this needs to be modelled by our brains to reason in the world. And we make these calculations constantly with our subconscious. When you walk down the street, you notice who looks dangerous, who is likely to try and interact with you, and all sorts of things.

I think that expert systems - even with some fuzzy logic - are a bad approach because systems never capture all of this reasoning. It’s everywhere all the time. I’m typing on my phone. What is the chance I miss a letter? What is the chance autocorrect fixes each mistake I make? And so on, constantly and forever. Examples are everywhere.

Nope. Not even close. He's all about power, and the appearance of strength. It's no coincidence that he looks up to Putin.

I think you are overestimating some of these fields resistance to automation. I'm actively working on automating HVAC and Lawn care. It's gonna take at least 3 years to see AI impact there, maybe its 20...but the road to automation is somewhat clear and progress is happening.
Almost certainly blocked by NDA; that is her inviting Congress to issue a subpoena so she has legal cover.
If it's a round thing it might well disappear. Even with full understanding that things don't cease to exist when they leave your field of view, "where do things end up if I drop them" is a pretty big field to experiment with. Youtube is full of videos of adults doing the same, just from more extreme heights or other unusual scenarios (since as adults we have a solid grasp of the simpler scenarios)

I honestly don't think this was their overall goal (it doesn't logically make sense, given tax receipts dip during recessions and governments often take on even more debt,) but I do think that is why they blinked.

The Supreme Court, in a 5-4 shadow docket decision, just enabled the Trump administration to deport people under the Alien Enemies Act -- a law that requires a declared war or an "invasion or predatory incursion...by a foreign nation or government." So I wouldn't get too excited about the idea that they're going to make a big stand on tariffs.

> I wonder if a typical children 3d pen, or the likes - ie. dispensing quickly curing plastic thread, etc. - can be used to quickly hand-draw touch-accessible picture/graph on any surface really (or even in 3d as it is intended)

Yes, there are a number of ways to make accessible graphics and this is one of them, although I don't see educators using it as often. Here's a study I read about blind people using a 3D pen to make drawings themselves (you can get it on SciHub if you're curious): https://doi.org/10.1177/0145482X20954759

> A cheap 3d printer can probably be used when more complicated picture and/or several copies of it have to be done

Actually educators of blind folks are making great use of 3D printing for tactile models. This site has a lot of great links if you're interested in the topic:
https://printdisability.org/about-us/accessible-graphics/3d-...

> running 3d pen as the printing head instead of the standard thermoplastic head would allow to increase the speed while decreasing precision

I doubt very much that this would work. 3D printing pens may have a wider nozzle, but they extrude more slowly and I'd imagine they also have much lower thermal output than a 3D printer because 3D pen users must frequently pause to reposition or make decisions. Essentially a 3D pen is just a very cheap, cut-down 3D printer hotend. However, you can always put a wider nozzle into an ordinary printer, and you can print on paper if you're really constrained by speed and don't want to lay down a base plate.
A corporate NDA doesn't block someone from cooperating with legal proceedings or submitting evidence to a hearing.
I don't think that Trump himself is competent, but I'm not be so sure about the people around him. The effort it took to put him above the law was at least a decade in the making, so clearly someone knows what they're doing.

I don't think it's a coincidence, for instance, that Steve Banon's strategy of "flooding the zone" looks exactly as the type of chaos currently coming from the White House.
We are not different. The world is. I guarantee you those people had the exact same hopes and dreams we have now.
I usually dismiss conspiracy theories, but if this were a dump and pump, it would be surprisingly clever. 3 hours before he announced easing tariffs, Trump tweeted that it's a good time to buy stocks. If he gave someone insider information, they could use that tweet as a cover.
The US government has already been rounding people up who haven’t committed a crime. Most notably a student from Columbia college. This is a real danger.
Don't you need UEFI boot for GPT booting >2 TB drives? That always seemed like the most practical advantage of UEFI+GPT to me.
These complex 4D chess strategies never really pan out. Maybe someone in the administration thinks that was the goal but not Trump.

During the campaign Trump said he wanted 10 percent tariffs on the world and 60 percent tariffs on China. After all the noise we are now at… 10 percent tariffs with the world and 125 percent tariffs on China (pending negotiation with China).
This is not achievable.

There isn't enough rewritable microcode to do this even as a super slow hack.

And even if all of the microcode were rewritable, ucode is kind of a fallback pathway on modern x86 cores with the fast path being hardwired decode for x86 instructions.

And even if that weren't the case the microcode decode and jump is itself hardwired for x86 instruction formats.

And even if that weren't the case the microops are very non-RISC being 2 address, etc.
barely related to your point but “I can align and maximize ANY laser” is such an incredibly specific flex, I love it
How would it work?

Say an American multinational like Microsoft provides some SaaS. They have a division in Europe where their developers help make their products. They have offices, customer support, servers, etc. in Europe. Do they pay a partial tariff based on what fraction of the development of their software happened in the US? What if they sell the rights to the European version of their software to their European division?
