There is no grand geopolitical strategy here. Trump and his advisors really are this stupid and think that huge worldwide tariffs are a good idea. That they have kept 10% worldwide tariffs (also insane) shows they still think they are a good idea that will bring back manufacturing to the US. The damage to US soft power is irreversible unfortunately and the trust of former allies will never return. I suspect you’ll find as the empire declines people no longer aspire to send their kids - would you if they might be detained for weeks in inhumane conditions and deported for having opinions or a skin colour the regime doesn’t like?

Yes China is the current rival and thus was hit hardest, but they’ve already had to retract a lot of tariffs days after introduction simply because they had no idea what impact it would cause on borrowing costs.

Yes if Trump sees an opportunity to demand fealty from anyone with power or money he will take it, and enjoy it, but he genuinely thinks that is his due anyway.

You could say they have a plan in project 2025, but that’s more about destroying the US government and retaining power. If it were a functioning democracy he’d be removed after the damage he’s done.
The supreme court has ruled it's not a bribe if it's a gratuity after the fact.

I appreciate its a marketing video, but this is just a lie, no?

What is the actual supported input resolution of the display? How do virtual monitors work - are they just a composite screen that needs to fit in that max input resolution, or is there some virtual viewport that is being managed by the connected device?

There is so little information about these on the website, and the few reviews I can find are basically people who got them for free (youtube is seemingly full of these right now) and clearly don't use multi-monitor setups to any great extent.
"You will have higher prices because stuff you buy is more expensive."

Why? Why won't the supplier have lower income because they have no other alternative than to sell for the same USD amount as they did before?

Why is the supplier always the price setter? Can you always charge your customers anything you want to and they keep buying?

The customer is king, but not when FX is involved? How does that work?

"What do you think inflation is?"

It's a general rise in the entire price range. If the price of eggs goes up, but your wage didn't then that is a redistribution of scarce resources, not inflation.

That is, after all, how price competition works.
The British steel industry has been an industrial problem since the fifties, the tariffs were just the final nail in the coffin of this episode.

Interestingly the political opposition to nationalisation has been relatively quiet this time.
Well, the idea is basically the same as using AES-CBC. CBC is useless most of the time because of static rotations, but it makes cracking it more expensive.

With the enigma webfont idea you can even just select a random seed for each user/cache session. If you map the URLs based on e.g. SHA512 URLs via the Web Crypto API, there's no cheap way of finding that out without going full in cracking mode or full in OCR/tesseract mode.

And cracking everything first, wasting gigabytes of storage for each amount of rotations and seeds...well, you can try but at this point just ask the admin for the HTML or dataset instead of trying to scrape it, you know.

In regards to accessibility: that's sadly the compromise I am willing to do, if it's a technology that makes my specific projects human eyes only (Literally). I am done taking the costs for hundreds of idiots that are too damn stupid to clone my website from GitHub, letting alone violating every license in each of their jurisdictions. If 99% of traffic is bots, it's essentially DDoSing on purpose.

We have standards for data communication, it's just that none of these vibe coders gives a damn about building semantically correct HTML and parsers for RDF, microdata etc.
It feels like we just hired a recent graduate, who is an egotistical know-nothing, to manage our databases. And he just decided to migrate all of the DBs to the cloud in the middle of the day without testing it, or checking any metrics. Now he wants to fail some of them back and thinks that should be "a cinch" but doesn't actually understand how anything works under the hood.
Actual support is willingness to vote for it again and being ready to accept any excuse so that you don't have to vote for the other side.

This is a thing republicans and their voters are 100% ok with as long as it is not democrat picking people. They are a bit scared by possible inflation. But this is a wanted bonus for them.
I have the complete opposite opinion. The US has no cards to play in the EU and is screwed in the medium and long term.

The only reason the EU was tolerating those massive tech companies which contribute close to nothing in the EU was because the US was pulling its weight in EU defense.

Now that Trump openly sided with Putin, that's gone. Trump has no card to play in the EU anymore. He could even insult EU leaders publicly if he wanted to but pushing out Zelensky like he did was the only thing he could not afford to do.

Then on the investment side, the EU will now seen as a more stable and better environment than the US which changes policies every Tuesdays. The US will be experiencing a similar effect to brexit but longer and more severe.

The status of the dollar is clearly questioned as well. Will the US remain the top economic power with those tech companies atrophied and a local recession? I'm not so sure.
And... Try having a stool, like a one-step folding stool under the feet while sitting. Drastically changes the experience for the better while sitting. There was a post on HN long time ago on it with research on it. It aligns more with how the body is designed to preform the other need for elimination, and my suspicion is it applies to the first category of elimination too.
The open-source Breezy GNOME is worth a try. It has head tracking and multi-monitor in beta with GNOME DE.

Great thanks for linking! I'm sleep deprived and was being lazy.

Awesome to read the support chat from nationwide saying it's explicitly supported. I figured as it works so well.

They're a very decent building society/bank if anyone is looking for a new one!
This little friction break usage is actually something which manufacture need to consider. They need to activate once in a while to stop rust and other problems.

What Difference Lists Are
This is certainly a possibility for city cars. In the Netherlands there are a lot more 45kph mini cars driving around now. They were a thing in the past with moped engines but with electric drive trains all these solutions become much more viable. With the low speeds crashes are also less dangerous so everything becomes lighter.

A similar thing is happening with electric bikes and scooters. This was all possible with gasoline but with the lower mechanical complexity this is really taking off.

This results in a wider range for bike like vehicles which replaces a lot of car trips.

The real hurdle to people getting rid of their mostly stationary cars (not everyday for work drivers) is that renting a car is a horrible experience and car shares are also bad mostly. But as the space for personal cars shrinks I suspect this will improve over time.
> Turns out their ML/AI method doesn't generalize so well.

I'd argue the opposite. AI typically generalizes very well. What it can't do well is specifics. It can't do the same thing over and over and follow every detail.

That's what's surprised me about so many of these startups. They're looking at it from the bottom-up, something ai is uniquely bad at.
A lot of ecosystem vibe seems to go to Lottie at the moment though.. does SVG cover a matching feature set? is there hope for a conversion tool?
The hint I want to give you is: unicode and ligatures :) they're awesome in the worst sense. Words can be ligatures, too, btw.
Native Americans had rich oral traditions that would have served the same purpose
Why educational inequality runs in families: Genetics more than environment
Yeah this series is consistently excellent. If you want positivity you want "cutesy robots" and anime stuff. Everbody wants lovable robots that work for us instead of the corp. (Twist your own brain to imagine that capitalism wouldn't ruin it guaranteed)
so how can you know it's actually possible?
"No problem"? It's not just that the prices are high; I can hardly get those guys to even answer the phone and give me a quote. I can get that board from China before I've gotten through to a local sales rep. Then when they do finally check their messages they want to fly out, meet me at my office, size up my operation and my budget, have a nice chat over dinner, and spend a few weeks pestering me with phone calls without ever getting down to business.
Ah another framework, will wait until it becomes unavoidable.
I’ve always wondered about using HDMI as a data exfiltration path. To the best of my knowledge, there are security tools monitoring for employees plugging in USB drives or connecting to Google drive, etc, but none which are watching the video output. You could easily hide the data transfer such that someone looking at the screen remotely wouldn’t notice the data transfer.
Your positive attitude and the talent is inspiring. Thank you very much!
- "The top factors ESA will consider in this first phase of the challenge are each proposer's business plan, technical credibility, and financial credibility."

The grand European strategy is... to task government bureaucrats to review startups' business plans?? This is going to so predictably lead to more of the same—the creation of companies optimized for writing proposals, and for pleasing bureaucrats.

- "ESA also isn't setting requirements on launcher performance, reusability, or..."

That they're still ambivalent whether they should pursue reusability or not shows how hopelessly unprepared they are.
Targeted tariffs don’t have an effect because products are reimported from china via other countries like Mexico.
> Unkey's landing page is a nice example.

That landing page is a nauseatingly laggy experience on a very powerful M1 Pro laptop. And slow to load, all for some fancy lines? I'd take a product that focuses on substance over style as dev. Don't get me wrong, style is important and I like pretty things, but here it seems the tradeoff is not well done.
Aside: I still object to the use of “engineering” for a practice that doesn’t understand why what it does works. This is more similar to the “skilled masons” era of construction than “structural engineering” - “we know from experience this has worked in the past”.
Cycling to work is nice. But if you are young, sitting all day in a warm office.
Think of blue collar workers that are hungry, exhausted and also people getting older.
Its fucking annoying to wait for the bus that does not show up, the stupid beeps whenever the doors open and the slow movement in general.
Lucky i am at home in half an hour, laws now require you to commute to work in up to 1.5hrs if you cant afford a car or should use public transportation.
Electric bikes are no solution, the minerals and energy must be produced to transport people like me.
I will buy a motor driven classic Vespa, fuel consumption is 2l for 80 mls and i am at home without dispruption and waiting.
Plus i got a new nice hobby to maintain it.
No new vehicle was produced, no rare earth was needed.
Fuel is produced every day for the plastics of the EV and for many other things like pharmacy and so on.
No new bike needed to be shipped from china where all that stuff is made.
Sure you are right with vegan biking, but not all folks can do it.
> Most people today are driven by self interest and self preservation, not morality. Anything you see publicly resembling morality is virtue signaling for the sake of optics.

> Do you respect foreigners to treat your country as a battle ground for their ideologies? I assume yes only when their ideologies match yours, but what about when they don't?

I respect a good, fair match. I suspect you do too. A good opponent, who puts their money where their mouth is, is someone who pushes you to do the same.

This is also why I framed my question the way I did. I didn’t say which country was a terrorist, I gave it the option of being someone who argued for a position you agreed with. (For example, they could well be protesting in front of the Chinese embassy, being Uighur, or Tibetan.) Should this option only be open to American citizens?

> Capitulation against who? What results did their so called fight give?

Capitulating to whomever is in power.

Contrast the ease of saying stuff online, vs people who physically show up to protests, or say things that are risky and have consequences.

I respect people who actually put themselves at risk. They can be entirely wrong, their cause riddled with flaws. But then I didn’t find it in me to show up and engage in debate.

I guess, to each their due.
It would be karmically appropriate, but I'd guess nobody has an actual interest in doing so. Export restrictions are also easier to circumvent than import restrictions by routing through third countries. Unless, of course, you apply the export tariff to everyone, which again nobody has an interest in doing.
>bootloader relocking

My OnePlus3 (2017-ish?) can do that.

It's not even a feature, but standard android bootloader will do this much. Vendors deliberately remove such features, if not disable phone unlocking outright[0].

Honestly I wouldn’t personally, I’d use a really good components library like https://mantine.dev/ (no affiliation, just a fan) and make your site look similar to your competitors. That’s what people seeing your pitch will expect IMO. Depending who you’re pitching to they might not use a terminal very often.
I wish that ruamel.yaml had better documentation. I've had to dive into the code so many times to find out how to do something.
Dude, no. Aging is literally a series of bursts in realization of priorities of your life. Checks and balances of all the things you always wanted to do, the person you wanted to be, and never will.

No need to go that far. 1970s would suffice.

Also easy to interpret generously as hyperbole.

Especially if you know how easy it can be to accidentally do something that works fine in other browsers but makes Safari kill the tab.

Doesn't actually brick the device but a fairly hard failure in the browser.
The same Gumroad whose founder and CEO is working for DOGE? Hard pass.
Dead reckoning is also inaccurate due to unknown winds. Even if you take off with the best available forecast, it’s often wrong by 5mph+. After three hours your position is off by 15 miles. That’s not remotely good enough for most aviation purposes.

Operating large language model (LLM) agents in real-time production is a challenging balancing act. These systems can deliver remarkable results, but they also come with high costs and unpredictable behaviors. In fact, deploying LLMs “is like hiring a brilliant but unpredictable intern”, capable of amazing work but also quietly running up huge bills . This guide dives deep into pragmatic best practices to keep LLM-powered agents efficient, reliable, and ready for production scale. We will explore strategies for (1) cost optimization, (2) hallucination mitigation, (3) leveraging smaller models, (4) efficient fine-tuning, and (5) robust prompt engineering — all critical for building responsive AI agents that serve users in real-time.
Heck yea.

I expect lower tariffs in India to cause harm while also forcing economic activity.
Since everything is terrorism now maybe you can stop doing terrorism with your comment and delete it.
USA is not anti authoritarian. It is pro-authoritarian and consistently so.

Conservatives are dismantling environmental protection, but it has nothing tondo with freedom or being anto authoritarian. They just dont care about consequences as long as their donors can earn more money in the short term.

Yet also, US seems to be crumbling and rhe source of instability. They may succeed in exporting their dysfunction to Europe, but it did not happened yet.
I’m curious as to what people think about Audiobooks?

They just seem so expensive to me, and the concept still feels like cheating to me.
Modus themes are so rad - they look bleak at first, but after a while they grow on you. Then you try some other theme and notice how terrible it is to look at due to lack of contrast. I am convinced now that most theme makers have not the slightest idea what they are doing. Modus and PragmataPro font are two things which spoiled themes and fonts for me.

But, Prot also has other incredible packages - I am a user of denote, his notetaking package. Then there are ef-themes, for those who like themes with more color. There are gems there, but really, one should try modus for a while first.
I really miss Macromedia Flash. There wasn't a single tech like Flash and SWF format which flourished with so many indie games and animated movies available without any extra downloads (other than Flash Player). Barier to entry was so low.

Now, take SVG, it has potential to do everything what SWF could. But there is no editor like Flash and scene/object based coding solution like ActionScript. And each browser has own quirks so only simple SVG is guaranteed to be displayed everywhere.

For this specific license, be extra-sure that you understand the license before deploying.
What about Tata Motors? They own jaguar & Range Rover as well? They have zero good cars? Perhaps Chinese EV will enter into India.
I was thinking more that these kind of lax laws allowed the rich to get richer, and influence politics in ways which enabled or accelerated the fall. But it it a complicated picture of course, and the further back in the chain of causality we go the harder it it to say anything for real.
Apart from what happened after war, some of them did as they got lot of slave labor during holocaust.

Yes the 20th century was insane.

But we had the GFC in 2008. Millions of people lost their homes, lost their job, lost their savings.

1990's were pretty stable.
For entire classes of applications, you can treat Linux as a black box. Things like syscalls, /proc & /sys, are all incredibly stable. So that's what Go does with its syscall package; it completely sidesteps libc, ld.so, and whenever it can, it just produces static builds - at least on Linux.

They tried to get away with it on OpenBSD, macOS, etc and got their hand chewed off.
OpenCL no one cares about.

CUDA yes, it is already being used in commercial visualisation products like OctaneRender, one of the most important tools in the VFX industry.

NVidia also has plenty of customers on OptiX.

GLSL is dead end, Khronos is on the record they aren't going to develop it further, even for Vulkan, HLSL and now slang, are the way forward.

HLSL due to its use in the games industry, slang due to being developed by NVIDIA and given to Khronos as GLSL replacement.
Waay better.
Poor Palestinians for defending themselves and their home land - maybe they should just sit and take it like the native populations in America, Canada, Australia, South Africa did.

Shelomo Dov Goitein admits that the Jews lived best when they lived with Muslims (and under their protection). This "knew their place" is not true, go talk to Syrian Jews (there's an interview with one on youtube) on what it was like before the brits made israel.

Who gave the british the right to declare who has the right to live in land they stole? The whole thing is insane when you think about it.
He's not the only one speaking genocidal statements.

What's the solution now though? Let them literally employ mass starvation (another one of their well documented war crimes) while the world watches?
Oh, I agree with all that, I had sort of ignored the middle post in this chain.
More likely they bought Trump’s crypto coin to increase Trump’s wealth.
The Palestinians did not start war over land - they were occupied and their home land stolen.

I think there’s a huge amount of inefficiency all the way through the software stack due to decades of cheap energy and rapidly improving hardware. I would expect with hardware and energy constraints that we will need to look for deeper optimisations in software.
The 145% tariff is so absurd I wouldn't be surprised to see cheap chips glued to the item to exploit the exceptions.

provided they continue to go through with the investment

I recall the Foxconn Wisconsin situation, and I have no doubt Apple et al are well aware of it. String out a pretense of building factories in the US for the next three and a half years? Easy peasy. President Trump will soon get bored of this game anyway and move on to the next one; he already looks like he's bored of it and it didn't bring him universal acclaim and admiration.
And can we stop calling every stupid little hobby project "beautiful" while we're at it? The word has no meaning any more.
Thanks for sharing your expertise on this topic. As someone with limited knowledge in this area, I appreciate your contributions.

I'm curious if you could evaluate an AI response from Perplexity. I asked it to analyze your comment (https://www.perplexity.ai/search/summarize-https-govinfo-lib...) and would value your expert assessment of its accuracy and quality. Perhaps a grade score with brief comments on what stood out?

I feel current AI benchmarks don't capture the data to really gauge how reliable AI tools are for topics requiring some advanced/expert domain knowledge of. Your role is, "expert in the middle" to provide commentary on what it gets right or wrong. Everything sounds right and looks right when I don't know what is what ya know?
