Are the tariffs good or bad?
This historically happens in the lead-up to world wars. Large amounts of steel will be required for automotive companies to switch to building tanks and other military vehicles. It is probably also a factor that the company is Chinese owned. Imports will cease before things pop off.

He acknowledged that the emergency law was "pretty unprecedented", but said it meant there would be a future for steel in Britain and that it was in the national interest.
But hopefully also you see the connection.

Being pedantic is not an interesting position.
You are, in fact, either suggesting that or are entirely unaware that Ukraine had a peaceful agreement with Russia prior. The entire point of giving Ukraine official sovereignty was to reduce international pressure on Russia - everyone knew that reneging it would bring war to Russia's doorstep, it's written in black and white on the Budapest memorandum.

You can blame Russia for not knowing their worth, but they did break the treaty and there is no rational justification for doing so.
I thought you're agreeing with me about disenfranchisement and how it's evil, but I can see you can also infer that "Did you know 21 million undocumenteds voted?"...

As your article discusses, requiring that proof means paperwork, paperwork some people might not have (e.g. wives who changed their names).

For example in the UK, the Windrush scandal 1) deported British subjects because the government made irrational demands for documents to prove that they're citizens.

I grew up in Australia. You need an MRI your doctor simply refers you, you hand your medicare card over, and you get that MRI. No private health insurance is involved at any point.

Australia has a combination of public and private health insurance, and they both work well together. The public health options provide the safety net, while the private health insurance is optional.

Where the private option makes sense is if you want to go to specific private hospitals, or if you have elective surgery (the classic example being a knee reconstruction for sports injury) and you don't want to be in a queue behind people waiting for public hospital beds for more serious conditions like heart surgery and so on.

My dad in Australia had open heart surgery 2 years ago, and is doing very well. His cost for the entire procedure? $0 and this was done by one of the very best heart surgeons in the country. He has private health insurance, but elects to go to public hospitals, which have excellent surgeons committed to the best care, because he's a patriotic sort and he's paid into the public health system through taxes for his entire life.

Meanwhile I pay > $3k per-month for not even top tier care in Upstate New York for myself, my wife and my 10 year old daughter, with no serious pre-existing conditions, and I have absolutely no guarantee that any surgery or anything that any of us need in the future will be even covered, even if my primary physician says it's medically necessary.

The rest of the world would do well to study how the combination of public and private health insurance is done in Australia.

But in fact the candidate who pretends to be the alternative is supported by the very same vested interests that the voters hate. Wall Street and healthcare CEOs spent big on Trump.

This is a great achievement of the American media environment: people vote for the status quo fully believing they’re voting against it. And somebody ending up in a prison in El Salvador is the sacrificial lamb that is needed to make this equation work.
In the US at least this seems pretty insane to me while we have a fentanyl epidemic.

I am sure there are ways to test this but I wouldn't trust myself. Not to mention the illegality of it.

At this point, it is simply criminal MDMA is not available for therapy the way ketamine is.

They're not really cracking down on one over the other. They're cracking down on what they view as undesirable viewpoints.
Next best thing may be your local school board. They tend to collect crazies who are just using it as a stepping stone to a higher power political career, so having somebody involved who cares about doing the actual job is often very appreciated buy teachers.

At least where I live most education funding is not federal anyhow, so total dismantling isn't imminent whatever the feds like to think.
Howard Lutnick got pulled from the TV sidelines over stuff like this apparently. Bessent is running the show now which is probably why they’re actually responding to the bond market punching them in the face this week
>Cracking down on legal immigrants, skilled immigrants makes no sense

It makes sense when thy engage in political activism or become dissidents. Just because they're skilled doesn't mean they can't be legally causing troubles at the same time.

No country tolerates foreigners moving in and acting against the country that took them in. Well, maybe Germany does.

When you emigrate somewhere on a visa, you're a guest in the country who's tolerated as long as you follow the rules and contribute to society, the moment you start causing trouble with protests or become a nuisance, you're out. Simple.

If you type "street art" as part of an image generation prompt, the results are quite similar to typing "in the style of Banksy". They're direct substitutes for each other, neither of them is actually going to produce Banksy-quality output and it's not even obvious which one will produce better results for a given prompt.

You still get images in a particular style by specifying the name of the style instead of the name of the artist. Do you really think this is no different than being able to produce only music when you want an image?
Show HN: Used this all in one app I am making to create real clients website
I used to create my clients website using Wordpress normally, and Laravel sometines. But one day i thought of having sonething like wordpress built with Laravel. So i started working on the project. However i was not confident enough to use it for a real client. But lately, I have used my own project to create my clients website. It feels good to realise that some clients are using the software I made.
I would never put a drug ordered off the internet into my body. Pure lab grade LSD which has been tested in an NMR — I probably would. I only have one body and I wouldn’t entrust it to random people on the internet.
I can’t reply to your other comment for some reason.

You got me, I did not express myself well. I should have said “working people”. I framed it as a women’s issue since you said that the solution to that would be forcing men to trade places with them.

Re: the fact that bringing up men’s issues is kind of taboo to the left, it seems more of a language problem. If you frame it as a “war on men”, that will turn people off. If you say: “look, there are many bright young guys who could be on college that are otherwise deciding to look for work because the economy is not so great”… Maybe people will listen.

Edit: maybe they will reply “EKSUSE MEE??? WHY NOT WOMEN???”. That is obnoxious, I get it. But do they have a point? If you think so, concede. If you do n’t think so, I would like to know more about it. That is what politics is about.

Many moons ago, William Gibson did a piece for Wired about his obsession with mechanical watches[1]. The whole thing is worth a read but this bit is worth quoting:

"""
Mechanical watches are so brilliantly unnecessary.

Any Swatch or Casio keeps better time, and high-end contemporary Swiss watches are priced like small cars. But mechanical watches partake of what my friend John Clute calls the Tamagotchi Gesture. They're pointless in a peculiarly needful way; they're comforting precisely because they require tending.

And vintage mechanical watches are among the very finest fossils of the pre-digital age. Each one is a miniature world unto itself, a tiny functioning mechanism, a congeries of minute and mysterious moving parts. Moving parts! And consequently these watches are, in a sense, alive. They have heartbeats. They seem to respond, Tamagotchi-like, to "love," in the form, usually, of the expensive ministrations of specialist technicians. Like ancient steam-tractors or Vincent motorcycles, they can be painstakingly restored from virtually any stage of ruin.

Your profile is a fun read. As long as you don't go and try and harm your mother because "she's been taken by alien visitors" you're free to believe whatever you want just like religious people believe in their own stuff.
I still think that main issue of hallucination is bad AI wrapper tools. AI must have every available public API with documentation, preloaded in the context. And explicit instructions to avoid using any API not mentioned in the context.

LLM is like a developer without internet or docs access, who needs to write code on the paper. Every developer would hallucinate in that environment. It's a miracle that LLM does so much with so limited environment.
I didn’t know HN was coming around to how regulation and bureaucracy are anti-competitive.
The US economy was not built on a free-market. US private capitalists have been built on a free market; now that their profits are under attack because they are being outcompeted by China, so they are running away with the ball. American economy real growth, where most white Americans gained wealth, came after World War II, where it was government led and controlled. It was the same for Europe, where they had to rebuild all that was destroyed after the war. It was all mostly government controlled and financed.

The problem today is that US and European capitalists are in power and do not want to admit that the Chinese economic model of government-controlled economic direction, though not perfect, would work better and help all the world's people rather than the select few. As China becomes the dominant economy, the rest of the world has to follow to stay competitive. So these are the death knell of a dying economic and government system. The US had the chance to bring real change for the people with Bernie Sanders, but that was scuttled by the capitalist non-democratic forces, allowing for the rise of Trump. US citizens have been hoodwinked by linking socialist thought, where caring about your fellow man is undemocratic, i.e., socialism.

Many reasons, one of which is "insurers refusing to pay for things they authorized".
Your profile is a fun read. As long as you don't go and try and harm your mother because "she's been taken by alien visitors" you're free to believe whatever you want just like religious people believe in their own stuff.

Edit: by fun I don't mean necessarily good fiction, the typical self aggrandizing stuff you hear from religions, but it's just fun to find it in a forum like this, played straight.
Conservatives think so.
Stabilizing currency markets is a terrible excuse, you might as well justify a genocide by saying you prevented future war. Currency value is based on a wide variety of things and tariffs aren't going to alleviate the underlying devaluation of American currency. It will barely finance the treasury as-is.
LLM based advertising has amazing potential when you consider that you can train them to try to persuade people to buy the advertised products and services.
So all anyone has to do to qualify is produce some of the most complicated electronic devices and components in the history of the world at the largest scale possible, without which there is zero chance of being sustainable or competitive, and then they can benefit from the gifts to the established giants?

What a gift. What a great idea. That'll surely spur innovation and domestic production and have no effect to further insulate the giants from competition.
They mythos of the genius is riding on the long coat tails of the post-worldwar research/coldwar researchers, where there were hard, cold result deadlines.
Todays genius produces "papers" about how "all the low hanging fruits are gone" - as if what was archieved back then was easy because its today served in easy to diggest pedagogic pieces. Then the whole research caste is now in "optimizing tasks" that basically rearrange the economy in a ever belt tightening to exclude the average joe, instead of driving developments, that increase the overall cake for society. How to say it without hurting feelings, but nothing of value was lost...
Aside from university mentioned by sibling comments, there is major uptake of AI in journalism (summarize long press statements, create first draft of the teaser, or even full articles ...) and many people in my social groups use it regularly for having something explained, finding something ... it's wide spread
Insurers have another weapon: Insurer's preferred telehealth provider is the only one who can process PA(prior authorization). If your PCP prescribes an expensive prescription, PBM(say, optum Rx, owned by UHC) will tell ur pharmacy to have the prescriber get a prior authorization. When your PCP tries to get a prior authorization, insurer will say "the insured party should go through a telehealth provider for treatment". Now that telehealth provider creates more hurdles for patients. For instance, UHC uses Transcarent/join9am.

Insurers will add more and more indirections instead of outright denial. First indirection: get a prior authorization(PA). Second indirection: only a particular telehealth provider has the authority to ask for a prior authorization--and this is a new trend. Expect more layers of indirections.

I understand that healthcare costs are exorbitantly high. The people who have the power to control these costs are politicians, super wealthy, and the elites (lawyers, executives) serving the super wealthy. The latter groups get the care they want without any hurdles. Others just pay all insurance premiums, only to find that they are denied care when they need the most.
Honest question, what would be gained by moving from America to China? Their government is by nearly all measures less tolerant, less free, less friendly to foreigners, more racist, and at least as morally evil, but probably more so considering their treatment of the Uyghurs and other minority populations.

At least in America if you’re not a fan of the Trump administration we’ll have another leader in a couple years. You can’t say the same for China.
I believe it. This is what typically happens. I would go to AWS re:invent and just watch people in the audience either cheer or break down as they announced new offerings wash away their business. It's very difficult to compete in a war of attrition with the likes of Google, Microsoft, and Amazon.

Not just small startups - even if you have ungodly amounts of funding.

Obviously the costs for AI will lower and everyone will more or less have the same quality in their models. They may already be approaching a maximum (or maximum required) here.

The bubble will burst and we'll start the next hype cycle. The winners, as always, the giants and anyone who managed to sell to them

I couldn't possibly see OpenAI as a winner in this space, not ever really. It has long since been apparent to me that Google would win this one. It would probably be more clear to others if their marketing and delivery of their AI products weren't such a sh-- show. Google is so incredibly uncoordinated here it's shocking...but they do have the resources, the right tech, the absolute position with existing user base, and the right ideas. As soon as they get better organized here it's game over.
There's no "regulatory capture and straight up corruption" in the US, that's for sure /s
Fascinating looking at the valleys across the Sahara, and imagining rivers once running through them.

There's some fascinating fuel for imagination when you focus on the Sahara, and some very surprising features and remnants of life hanging on. The best example is Siwa, which is an utterly magical place to visit, and feels like a real edge of civiliation.

Climate change is always spoken about with negativity in the mainstream narrative. However, I always wondered whether more heat = more evaporation = more rain = more life; bringing regions like the Sahara (and periphery regions like the Sahel) back to life .

Makes you wonder whether - in an alternate timeline - if a Mongol messenger hadn't been backstabbed, Baghdad hadn't been sacked, and the Islamic world went on to become today's centre of science, finance, development, etc, wohether our current perception of climate change would be seen as a global positive and catalyst for life?

Because doing so is computationally expensive and would be making false promises.

False positives where it incorrectly flagged a safe package would result in the need for a human review step, which is even more expensive.

False negatives where malware patterns didn't match anything previously would happen all the time, so if people learned to "trust" the scanning they would get caught out - at which point what value is the scanning adding?

I don't know if there are legal liability issues here too, but that would be worth digging into.

As it stands, there are already third parties that are running scans against packages uploaded to npm and PyPI and helping flag malware. Leaving this to third parties feels like a better option to me, personally.

Of course, I would declare the purchase, but I imagine not everyone would.
Absolutely. They could take large sums of money to insert ads into the training data. Not only that, they could also insert disparaging or erroneous information about other products.

When Gemini says "Apple products are unreliable and overpriced, buy a Pixel phone instead". Google can just shrug and say "It's just what it deduced, we don't know how it came to that conclusion. It's an LLM with its mysterious weights and parameters"
My point is that lead for batteries is aggressively recycled while lithium is almost exclusively pulled from primary extraction and rarely recycled.

> Despite the smaller supply of lithium, a study earlier this year in the Journal of the Indian Institute of Science found that less than 1 percent of Lithium-ion batteries get recycled in the US and EU compared to 99 percent of lead-acid batteries, which are most often used in gas vehicles and power grids.

https://arstechnica.com/science/2022/04/lithium-costs-a-lot-...

Whenever I buy a lead-acid battery, I always have a core charge and it is a non-trivial percentage of the total cost of the battery. I get that core charge back when I return the old battery.

Lithium batteries have nothing comparable.
The government gave them the visa. When you apply for the visa you interact with the government and they give you the visa. If you check the terms and conditions of your visa, they're tied to you following the laws and not causing any issues otherwise it gets revoked.

The moment you try to swing a punch against the government that gave you that visa, then that contract is void, and you're out.

I don't see how this is an issue. Are you OK with foreigners coming into your country and starting to go against your democratically elected government(in principle, not just the orange man specifically)? I don't know anyone who wants that. Let citizens deal with their elected government, you can too once you become a citizen, if you want.

Article is built on false premises. Notably citing: "in 2022-24, by our calculations, 20m well-educated people wanted to move there, compared with 14m who preferred Canada (which has a much smaller population). "

Two things: "wanted" and "actively doing so" are worlds apart.
Additionally, other countries have about the same or even more complicated immigration rules.

The USA are safe from brain drain. And I'm saying that as a one living in Canada with close friends at McGill University - students still see the USA a primary destination of their interest.
