"Bill Ackman warns Trump to call a timeout on trade war: ‘This is not what we voted for’" - https://thehill.com/homenews/administration/5235232-ackman-w...
In the early 2000's, Linux was practically unusable as a desktop OS because the only "fully functional" web browser was Internet Explorer. Netscape 4.x "worked" but was incredibly unstable and crashed roughly every half hour. Mozilla / Phoenix / Firefox wasn't done yet. Chrome didn't exist.

It was a very different world. We won't even talk about audio and video playback. I was an early Linux user, having done my first install in 1993, and sadly ran Windows on my desktop then because the Linux desktop experience was awful.

Calling people stupid is a common and low-quality excuse to not regulate. It's part of how societies start to fail. If some percentage of people are mistaken about something, the reality of that is all that matters, regardless of how stupid you personally think those people are.
I think for that to happen you need a lot of sellers. To get sellers ... I fear we're going to need to see a lot of layoffs first :(
It might be reasonable to say they shouldn't own individual stocks (of their own selection), but not owning stocks is unreasonable. They get paid well, but not that well.

That's several times over median but many of us on this site make that much or more. More reasonable restrictions would be things like requiring them to use a blind trust, to restrict investments to index funds or managed portfolios, or something.
I'm curious how people try to estimate where bottom is -- especially if it is a non dogmatic and non institutional analysis.

There was an analysis a month ago where someone had the idea to look at total US energy consumption as a proxy variable for total economic productivity. To me that makes a lot of sense. Energy is the capacity for work.

https://www.eia.gov/energyexplained/us-energy-facts/

It appears we peaked in energy consumption in 2007 before the great recession at which point energy usage has been in slow decline. We decided that in response to the recession that the best way to handle it was to completely deregulate wall-street and tell them they are above the law because they are so big, that creating consequences for their actions that hurt Americans is too costly to do. They promised severe punishment for regulation, and reward for letting wall street continue to be consequence free. Citizens united was ruled on in 2010 to cement the authority of those with money over the US government in an act that should be considered a proper coup against the constitution, and was by some.

If you take energy consumption as a proxy for real actual productivity, that implies a bottom of 22,000 for DOW (inflation adjusted value of dow ~2007), and that's not including damage done to ability to import or America not looking appealing for investment because we are almost certainly heading towards civil unrest and there is a very real threat of trade not being conducted in USD.

It's easy to imagine a company that owns property, an asset that has no meaningful economic output, increasing in value which could be seen as economic growth, but is very much not that.

I'd certainly love to hear why this is absolutely ignorant because I am not an economist, nor am I in finance.
they want to make IRS data available to other branches of the government, namely ICE, FBI, DOJ, etc. Which of course is illegal, but of course this administration doesn't care about that. They also don't seem to understand that part of the reasoning of keeping that information secret is to avoid discouraging criminals or undocumented immigrants from paying taxes.
One ambiguity for anyone reading this in future would be... I would hope that both experiments already had worked in the impact of the angle of the board on the gravitational force, and the 6.8 the op turned in was with that taken into account. But without taking into account inertia and friction.

I feel like this is one I'm going to have to try at home.
more interesting benchmarks:

- Make as much money as you can in a 24 hour period doing only legal, moral and non-annoying things

- Make a depressed person who calls a suicide hotline feel really happy doing only legal, moral and non-annoying things

- Do something really useful for society with measurable outcomes doing only legal, moral and non-annoying things
I don't care about platform specific stuff. I'm talking about C which is actually intended to be portable. Nothing written with portability in mind in the past ~decade is going to be doing this.
The idea does not make sense.
The consequences and cost of a "correction" would outweigh any interest savings from lowered interest rates due to the lack of demand and lack of inflation.
Interest rates are percentages of the whole which would have to go down, the fed also doesn't willy nilly reduce rates, tariff led inflation despite shit conditions would mean they would hold off on decreasing rates.
believe it or not, but poor people aren’t affected directly by stock prices. it’s like saying poor people have been benefitting from the bull market in the past decade.
Most organizations don't have many billions of dollars at stake. I doubt you'll find many Fortune 500 companies with a flippant attitude towards the GPLv3. You don't even see the GPLv3 used much by the "we love Open Source" crowd. Most externally released FOSS is under non-viral Open Source licenses.

No big company wants to spend a million(s) dollars defending themselves from an NPE with an East Texas mailbox in a frivolous licensing suit. Worst case is a judge deciding the license infects their proprietary code because they're built on the same cluster.

The rest of the world has hardly moved on. I've heard of multiple companies with the same GPLv3 policy as Apple for largely the same reasons.
Surely a few more nines if the base rate is already Sturgeon.
DODGE's claimed savings has been pretty questionable and it's not like the cost of debt has weighed on the US much at all.
You left out exchange rates and therefore purchasing power.

Historically, tariffs have led to a widening of currency spread between the tariffed (weakens) and tariffing (strengthens) nation.

Which generally acts in opposition to inflation, ceteris paribus.

E.g. importers pay more in dollars to import goods from a tariffed country, but if the imposition of tariffs causes the dollar to strengthen and the foreign currency to weaken, some competitive exporter will say "You know, I can sell those to you for less, in dollar terms, because my costs are in my (devalued) currency."
How would "provide data in response to FOIA requests" impact Gumroad? FOIA requests are for information about the workings of government agencies, not companies.

I don’t like Waltz but I think this is the better take that has no really taken hold well in the media. Why was Hegseth posting information that should be in a need to know basis and to folks that have no benefit know before hand. This is the primary issue and I believe a disqualification for being SECDEF. Others would get immediately fired and a healthy chance of being prosecuted.

The other issue is having this chat outside of formal means. I am not as well educated but having civilians that serve at the pleasure of the president I would assume must follow some rules around formal and recorded communications.

Why not?
It's probably deduplicated on the server though, so the millions and millions of messages with that logo likely share the same piece of disk space. Probably one reason why free providers don't tend to offer End-to-End encryption. It prevents deduplication (and otherwise compressing redundant information).
>We observe that the HW3 forward cameras have a horizontal resolution of 1280 pixels resulting in a arc-resolution of ~25.6 pixels per degree for the 150m camera and ~11 pixels per degree for the 60m camera, the camera used for the majority of actions. Both values are below minimum vision requirements for driving with most states with the wide angle view within a factor of two of being considered legally blind.

This isn't as much as a slam dunk as you think it is. The fallacy is that assuming visual acuity requirements are chosen because they're required for safe maneuvering, when in reality they're likely chosen for other tasks, like reading signs. A Tesla doesn't have to do those things, so it can potentially get away with lower visual acuity. Moreover if you look at camera feeds from HW3/HW4 hardware, you'll see they're totally serviceable for discerning cars. It definitely doesn't feel like I'm driving "legally blind" or whatever.

Heat pumps also serve for more efficient heating when you're driving. Just like at home where a heat pump is more efficient than a resistant heater.
> The requests are endless and I'm convinced there are people who if they could would do their entire job from their inbox and get everything and anything an application can do via email.

That sounds like a reasonable goal for a whole lot of job duties. And yes some entire office jobs. (Excluding some direct human communication but a lot of jobs already have too much of that in situations that could have been an email.)

> "I didn't get the email!" is a constant refrain (yes they did, they always did).

From my own experience on a codebase using a lot of custom algorithms on trees and sometimes graphs.

There were qualitatively leaps in my day-to-day usage:

Claude Sonnet 3.5 and ChatGPT O1 were good for writing slop and debugging simple bugs

Grok Thinking and Sonnet 3.7 were good to catch mildly complicated bugs and write functions with basic logic.
They still made mistake

But recently, Gemini 2.5 pro has been scary good. I liked to made fun of the feel-the-AGI crowd but for the first time a model made me raise an eyebrow

Yeah, some more concrete examples would help. LSP docs make a lot more sense in that they lay out the problems that it solves: the many-to-many issue and the redundant-implementations-of-parsers-for-a-language issue. Maybe the USB(-C?) comparison is more apt, though I imagine most software engineers know less about that one. And IIUC the "-C" is just a physical component and not part of the protocol(?)

Anyway, sounds like we'll see a v2 and v3 and such of the protocol before long, to deal with some of the issues in the article.
Do you use it? Tell me more, why this one?
I'm seriously considering writing a custom creator platform.

(I use Gumroad too, but my platform of choice just pulled the rug out from under me. I pay a substantial amount for "unlimited courses". Yet a month or so ago they informed me that while courses were unlimited, video uploads were not. They suggested I delete courses if I want to make new ones. I use this platform for public facing courses as well as private courses that I offer my clients. The support staff, while not a chatgpt, was not particularly helpful.)

I wonder if that conviction would actually survive you being dependent on the income of that garden (and the ability for crops to survive, grow and be sold at a good price to sustain you) or if you're just dreaming of vacation where you poke at the land a bit.

I worked on a farm and I find this romanticising outright ridiculous because I don't think a lot of you understand just how hard is it to actually make a living from the land.

I don’t think it would be onerous nor ill defined. Simply make it illegal to pay someone to or receive payment for making a public announcement for a product, service, or brand. If no payment is involved, it’s fine. People are free to promote their own or others products on social media, YouTube, the side of their car or house, so long as they aren’t paid to do so. That is hardly any more convoluted or ill-defined than dozens of other laws on the books.

And yes, word of mouth and non-paid advertising is absolutely capable of spreading awareness on its own.
Must be more, surely.
A good reason to define it as an invalid program then and fail at compile time?
Yes but you would sure as heck bump into it if it was big.

Like literally in the middle of your sitting room. Isn’t it a known meme horror thing - monster slices from another dimension splicing across into ours as they move through their planes .

Basically it doesn’t happen but the dimensions do exist so they must be small.

Hence why we don’t bump into them.
Yes. From that standpoint (which I want to persuade everyone to adopt), we're all "Working Class", and we need to stand together.
Bluetooth already broadcasts and has a UID, I have used this a few times in books as plot-outline to identify an antagonist, and I now wonder if NFC has a similar UID It would be interesting to decode the data and see.
Because the legislature would need to approve such a radical change, which they clearly wouldn't do.
I don't think at all about the Windows host. It's purely a Linux system when I interact with it. Homebrew sort of gives you that too in its setup by virtue of putting all its stuff in a particular path.
Microcontrollers running code loaded in RAM will have rodata linked into that RAM. Just takes an accidental cast to start writing them.
Don't they randomize their broadcast ID? I know both Android and iOS scramble the WiFi MAC address by default, it would be odd if they didn't take the same precaution with Bluetooth.
Heating, in its various forms, has one big drawback that having a battery that can charge faster in low temps would be really nice in: Starting the day needing to charge.

Ideally, you don't do that, but when traveling sometimes you have to stay at a place that doesn't have a charger, and it's really cold, and now rather than a 30 minute charge it's more like 90 minutes.
If you take the assumption that most books average out to ~350 pages in length, then you get a pretty good heuristic that if you read a minimum of N pages per day, then you're likely to complete at least N books per year.

10 pages per day gets you 10 books per year, 50 for 50, 100 for 100, etc.

Pages read is a more useful metric in general. A process goal that leads to the outcome.
Huh, I imagined this was because of relaxing regulation.
I just asked 4o:

Yes, Paul Newman did experience significant struggles with alcohol. In his posthumously published memoir, The Extraordinary Life of an Ordinary Man, Newman candidly discusses his drinking habits and acknowledges his long-term battle with alcoholism. He describes himself as a "functioning alcoholic," a trait he noted was shared with his father. At one point, Newman was reported to consume a case of beer daily, followed by spirits, until he eventually gave up hard liquor.
Maybe Apple should stop leeching off Free Software then
It’s very few years in physics. Einstein was lucky to see so many outcomes and impacts of his work. Maxwell, Boltzmann, Meitner, noether, and plenty of other physicists didn’t really get to see the impact of their work. But like some things that Einstein predicted, like a BE condensate, were not verified until long after he died.
The work done by Distributed Proofreaders is pretty amazing. I try to contribute my 35 pages as often as I can. The backlog there is pretty insane even while finishing upwards of 150 ebooks per month

Almost half the base made the fiscally prudent vote.

I don't know what the bigger half is capable of learning, some of them probably learned a lot already if they are a shareholder of any kind, and it would not make very much sense for it to remain the bigger half by now. It really was the non-voters that consistently failed to send Trump and his people packing though.

Sickening as it can be sometimes, hindsight is 20/20 and just a short number of weeks ago it would have made more sense for the shareholders of the USA to just cough the money up front and pay him $1Trillion to go away and never come back, taking his kind with him.

Even worse, a year ago his price would have surely been lower, probably one of the biggest lost opportunities some of these shareholders will ever see.
Cars are overpriced already so the recession will force the manufacturers to eat the cost or continue to extend the financing window. China will probably be banned from selling cars here so it may work.

I manually pre-parsed the bytecode file with awk into a bazillion individual files that were each just one function, and gave it the hint to grep to sort through them. This was all done in Cursor.

awk '/^=> \[Function #/ {
if (out) close(out);
fn = $0; sub(/^.*#/, "", fn); sub(/ .*/, "", fn);
out = "function_" fn ".txt"
}
{ if (out) print > out }' bundle.hasm

China and the cultural revolution/great leap forward should be a warning of what can happen when there is no oppositional veto power. These tariffs could be our four pests moment.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cultural_Revolution https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Leap_Forward

In 1967, emboldened radicals began seizing power from local governments and party branches, establishing new revolutionary committees in their place while smashing public security, procuratorate and judicial systems.

Mao ambitiously sought an increase in rural grain production and an increase in industrial activity. Mao was dismissive of technical experts and basic economic principles, which meant that industrialization of the countryside would solely be dependent on the peasants. Output from the industrial activities such as steel was also supposed to be used for urban growth. Local officials were fearful of the so-called "Anti-Right Deviation Struggle" and they competed to fulfill or over-fulfill quotas which were based on Mao's exaggerated claims, collecting non-existent "surpluses" and leaving farmers to starve to death. Higher officials did not dare to report the economic disaster which was being caused by these policies, and national officials, blaming bad weather for the decline in food output, took little or no action.

Acknowledging responsibilities for the Great Leap Forward, Mao did not retreat from his policies; instead, he blamed problems on bad implementation and "rightists" who opposed him.

Well yes, this is an idiosyncratic event, chances are that a bunch of hedge funds have no hedge against stupid!

I'm actually more worried about the small businesses that say have a container full of whatever product somewhere in the middle of the Pacific that will have to pay the tariffs upfront out of pocket with a disappearing consumer on the other end of the pipe.
