I would act against China - because China is making political moves that I do not like. (they are supporting Russia in Ukraine, they are building up to invade Taiwan, they are supporting terror in the middle east...)

By acting against China that means I applaud moving manufacturing to Vietnam. I want to help Botswana grow - and I wish there were more countries in Africa I could name that seem to be on a good path (I cannot name the majority of countries in Africa, the ones I can are because they are in the news for bad things happening. I'm not even sure Botswana - I mostly know about them because last time I brought up Africa someone from there said their country was an exception).

Overall the world is better off with a lot of trade. Comparative advantage is real. There are things I can do that I don't want to become good at. However we also need to be aware that not everyone in the world is the friend of freedom and some must be cut off lest they grow. Nobody is perfect though, so you can't cut off everyone.

A business I work with has a factory in China that produces their devices. They absolutely do most of the assembly manually, as many of their sister factories do.

Robotics automation is a tradeoff to gain efficiency at the expense of flexibility, with a large upfront cost.
According to my perhaps naive interpretation of that, the "degree of surprise" would depend on at least three things:

1. the laws of nature (i.e. how accurately do the laws of physics permit measuring the system and how determined are future states based on current states)

2. one's present understanding of the laws of nature

3. one's ability to measure the state of a system accurately and compute the predictions in practice

It strikes me as odd to include 2 and 3 in a definition of "entropy."
That would be nice, if it turned into Red Hat.

It's absolutely (almost) correct! HTTP/0.9 does not require you to send back a status code or any headers. Some modern web servers even recognise a lone "GET /" to mean HTTP/0.9 and will respond accordingly.
If we're going to defy the invisible hand, we should at least do it to benefit people in a concrete way - health care, education, UBI. Doing it for "strategy" is equivalent to simply burning the money people would have otherwise saved by doing nothing.

Reading this without a side, all they're asking you is to prove what you said, which is that leftist student groups are being racist/violent/antisemitic in an organized way.

You haven't shown any evidence to support your notion that "both sides the same" in regards to left/liberals banding together to promote their hateful ways.

There is, however, widespread and constant organization on the right to enact hateful/racist/antisemitic rhetoric. One can just go to foxnews for that.

Your argument is weird and I think the majority of people wouldn't buy it.

Americans are cosplaying (voting their belief system, not what they'll do, the "revealed preference"), as they do as farmers [1] [2] [3] [4], as they do as "rural Americans" [5].

I think they should want to do something - it's just that torpedoing your ties with your closest allies and trade partners then lighting the stock market on fire is maybe not that thing. China spent decades building up their supply chains, infrastructure and manufacturing capacity and had support for this at state level.

If the US sees it as a threat and wants to do something it should maybe look to what China has done. Because tbh what Trump did re Tariffs is pretty close to "nothing" all things considered.

They won't though because as soon as you have someone saying "look, let's just put together a staged plan so that in, say, five years we'll produce X% more electronics domestically..." you'll have a Republican shrieking about "five year plans" and how the USA is becoming communist

Sorry, yes, you did miss the point. Specifically for the case of estimating volume, you just need enough points interior to the hypersphere to get good sampling statistics (which would become a problem in and of itself, by the way, at sufficient dimensionality). But estimating volume (or pi) is normally just used as a pedagogical example of rejection sampling, it’s not (usually) what people actually use the technique for. Typically its used to draw samples from one distribution, X, that is notionally hard to draw from, by instead drawing from Y. The sphere case is just an example (its actually easy to draw from a hypersphere without rejection sampling) - but if you did try to use rejection sampling specifically, it would take you a long time and lots of compute resources to generate those samples (in high dimensions)

This isn't just ego. This is an impending existential issue.

America needs to increase manufacturing capacity if it wants to maintain hegemony and possibly world peace.

China will soon have the ability to take Taiwan and Korea and Japan. If that happens it's game over for any American interests and perhaps democracy as a whole.

Wargames[0] paint a grim picture of an upcoming conflict between China and America over Taiwan with the US barely winning at a great cost including the loss of many ships, aircraft, and the depletion of missile stocks.

The Chinese have a naval production of 260 times that of America and account for an ungodly amount of global steel production so they'll be able to bounce back faster than the US can. With a lead time for producing American missiles measured in months and years it will be just a matter of time before they take the countries in the region that are critical to American manufacturing if they're so inclined.

Yeah, noticed that too—what's the core graphite.dev feature you're interested in? PR stacking, by chance?

If that's it, we actually support stacked PRs (currently in beta, via CLI and native integrations). My co-founder, Allis, used stacked PRs extensively at her previous company and loved it, so we've built it into our workflow too. It's definitely early-stage, but already quite useful.

Indeed the meaning of independent is more limited. But what wants to be implied by the media and posters here - the reason why the article leads with this, is to suggest these are groups that cannot be commanded by the president and his staff.

My only claim is that is false and misleading.
Subdomains were chosen historically because it was the sane way to run different infrastructure for each service. Nowadays, with the globally distributed frontends that Google's Cloud offers, path routing and subdomain routing are mostly equivalent. Subdomains are archaic, they are exposing the architecture (separate services) to users out of necessity. I don't think cookies were the motivation but it's probably a nice benefit.

You can't seriously be defending the treatment of Malinowski. The agents did not wear body cameras in direct violation of ATF policy. They conducted an early-morning no-knock raid for a search warrant when they knew Malinowski would be there (having cancelled an earlier one because he wasn't home). This wasn't an arrest warrant, it was a search warrant. They covered up the doorbell camera so if he had checked it he wouldn't see the half-dozen police vehicles outside.

They could have done the exact same thing in the middle of the day when nobody was home and everybody would be alive today.

They could have waited until daylight and knocked on the door with their warrant and walked right in.

They could have worn body cameras as ATF policy and common sense demands.

"Arms trafficking" is a funny way to say "buying guns legally and reselling them at gun shows" but let's say every single thing said about him is 100% true. If you think someone is a gun runner why wouldn't you take their house when they're not home to get all the evidence without having to worry about what they're doing? Why wouldn't you arrest him at the airport, where he almost certainly isn't armed, and police presence won't raise any alarms?
Huh, I hadn't thought of the multiple party review process. My so works for a law firm and when I hear about the issues with passing documents around, I often think of `git` or SharePoint/OneDrive with versioning. However, it seems like a lot more of a complicated process.

Nice write-up.
A great analyst once taught me the response question: "yes, and so what?" What's so magic about manufacturing as opposed to all the higher value work of the US economy? Have people not noticed that the average American is still richer than the average Chinese person by a long way, and (yes, painfully) more so than the average European?

If you're going to talk wars, then .. US military manufacturing is still the world leader yet again. Plus the nukes.
> Not every house has enough space for battery storage.

Then it becomes a building/complex/neighborhood community building problem in some cases. The shift to a properly distributed scale is that it can be bottom-up rather than top down. Also, some large scale projects may still be needed, it isn't an either/or, a mixture of provides flexibility in the long term. But you certainly need to worry about planning fewer large scale projects if you are expecting a market full of small ones.

> And management of millions of small batteries is harder than management of thousands of bigger batteries. Millions of small batteries are also vastly more expensive than thousands of bigger battery projects.

The cost is more distributed rather than being only one or two infrastructure companies in a region. The management is more distributed with more entities involved. Top-down control is harder, but in some ways that is as much a feature as a bug. Local batteries can prioritize local needs, that's a feature versus "just do what your central provider wishes". Grid-wise needs become a larger market with more players, which also means more competition and more interesting prices.
I think the collapse of the American Empire is no more preventible than the collapse of the British, Spanish, or Roman empires. The issues with the US being the reserve currency has been known for a while now (and was even predicted by Keynes before the Bretton-Woods summit):

Any discussion of "bringing back manufacturing" that doesn't mention government spending or social programs to educate and upskill the population is not genuine. The current leadership are fools and ideologs who will only hasten the decline, which might actually be better globally if it lowers emissions. Time will tell I guess.
Sure, I bet if you found a physically threatening note at your work with pictures from someone following you near your home, you'd be cool with it. Totally normal and non-criminal behaivor.

build.rs is a useful escape hatch for if you need to do something more complicated, but the nice thing about cargo is that for the most part the defaults work. Generally build.rs only comes in if you have to deal with C, C++ or some other external ecosystem. A pure rust crate basically never needs to touch it, across multiple platforms and build configurations.
Inputs are cheaper (and thus have lower tariffs in an absolute sense) than outputs. I think the author underestimates the ability of the market to adapt to incentives.

They're still correct though that there are plenty of good reasons why we don't do manufacturing in the US right now, and tariffs do absolutely nothing to change that reality, they just artificially make the alternative worse at significant expense to consumers.

Posthammer: Pervasive Browser-Based Rowhammer Attacks
Rowhammer is back in the browser!

At #USENIXSecurity25, we present Posthammer, the first pervasive browser-based Rowhammer attack using non-uniform Rowhammer patterns in JavaScript.

The key ideas:

• Refresh postponement delays DRAM refreshes to make hammering more effective.

• Lanes craft non-uniform Rowhammer patterns from minimal eviction sets.

The result? 61% of DDR4 devices can be compromised from JavaScript!

Trade Wars and Treasuries or How I Learned to Start Worrying and Watch the Bonds
Like OP, I work in manufacturing (after 15 years in startup land). I'm not as experienced as him, but I work in manufacturing that makes similar products on both sides of the US/Mexico border.

Let me add some thoughts:

1) Capacity, not cost, is the main driver for nearshoring. All things being equal, a manufacturer would rather produce a product in the US than overseas. The cost of modern products is mostly parts & material, not labor. When you add logistcs expenses, the theoretical cost advantage of overseas vs local is not that great. Remember:the people on the other side of the border are capitalists too! They want to keep most of the surplus of nearshoring to themselves! The problem is that there simply is no capacity, both in facilities and especially in people.

2) What matters even more than capacity is the first derivative of capacity. In other words: how quickly can I spin up a new factory if I win a big deal? How quickly can I spin one down if the client goes away? How long will it take me to get a permit to connect my new factory to the highway? In the US, these costs and timelines are massive. Real estate, permitting, hiring. There is an order of magnitude difference here, in cost and time.

3) The labor problems are real. I don't want to disparage the american workers I work with, because they are amazing. Truly fantastic craftsmen. But they are hard to find. You'd be surprised how many people show up who can't read or can't read a tape measure. How hard it is to find people that want to work 8 hours a day, 5 days a week. By contrast, in our overseas facility we have qualified workers literally showing up at our gate every day asking for work.

In other words, the root cause problems with american manufacturing are—-surprise surprise!--the same problems as with other parts of the US that are in decay:

- Disfunctional local government, especially around permitting, construction, housing and transit

- Disfunctional education & healthcare systems.

- A lack of strategic investment in infrastructure (rail, highways)

- A social safety net that is totally out of whack, with a high cost burden for employers & employees, with little to no immediate quality-of-life benefits for the working population

Tariffs solve exactly zero of those probems!
This is an interesting read though I’m not an economist but even pick up that the author is wrong about some of these points. Still, I don’t think the author is an economist either. And a little harsh on US workers - but I know there are people really struggling in the US who need work and bring their problems with them.
