95+% of his tariffs will be walked back within a year.
I don't think you asked AI to try to find issues with your argument. I asked Claude and it gave me three reasons that this is not a proof. If you are going to use AI like this at least check your own work.

The great thing about LLMs is they will read your definitely incorrect things and try to help you find errors.
He's been talking about tariffs since before the election, so they likely were anticipating it.
3) It's a plan for him to (unconstitutionally without Congress) create such enormous Import Taxes on the American people that they replace the eeeevilll federal Income Tax. This situation will magically persist indefinitely as people continue to buy and produce in the same pattern as before for no reason.
My point is the opposite of this point of view. I believe generative AI is the most significant advance since hypertext and the overlay of inferred semantic relationships via pagerank etc. In fact the creation of hypertext and the toolchains around it led to this point at all - neural networks were understood at that point and transformer attention is just an innovation. It’s the collective human assembly of language and visual interconnected knowledge at a pan cultural and global scale that enabled the current state.

The abilities of LLM alone to do astounding natural language processing beyond the ability of anything prior by unthinkable Turing test passing miles. The fact it can reason abductively, which computing techniques to date have been unable to is amazing. The fact you can mix it with multimodal regimes - images, motion, virtually anything that can be semantically linked via language, is breathtaking. The fact it can be augmented with prior computing techniques - IR, optimization, deductive solvers, and literally everything we’ve achieved to date should give anyone knowledgeable of such things shivers for what the future holds.

But I would never hold that generative AI techniques are replacements for known optimal techniques. But the ensemble is probably the solution to nearly every challenge we face. When we hit the limits of LLMs today, I think, well, at least we already have grand master beating chess solvers and it’s irrelevant the LLM can’t directly. The LLM and other generative AI techniques in my mind are like gasses that fill through learned approximation the things we’ve not been able to solve directly, including the assembly of those solutions ad hoc. This is why since the first time BERT came along I knew agent based techniques were the future.

Right now we live at time like early hypertext with respect to AI. Toolchains suck, LLMs are basically geocities pages with “under construction” signs. We will go through an explosive exploration, some stunning insights that’ll change the basic nature of our shared reality (some wonderful some insidious), then if we aren’t careful - and we rarely are - enshitification at scale unseen before.

I have always found this response to the hungry judges study much more compelling than the study itself:

> […] I want to take a different approach in this blog. I think we should dismiss this finding, simply because it is impossible. When we interpret how impossibly large the effect size is, anyone with even a modest understanding of psychology should be able to conclude that it is impossible that this data pattern is caused by a psychological mechanism.

> If hunger had an effect on our mental resources of this magnitude, our society would fall into minor chaos every day at 11:45. Or at the very least, our society would have organized itself around this incredibly strong effect of mental depletion. Just like manufacturers take size differences between men and women into account when producing items such as golf clubs or watches, we would stop teaching in the time before lunch, doctors would not schedule surgery, and driving before lunch would be illegal.

Yes, not all 4a's were affected. Of two of mine, one was eligible, but the other was not.
Um, the "something" is the person reading the LLM's output. I'm afraid that you have completely missed the context and point of the discussion, which was not about LLMs understanding things--they understand nothing ("LLMs have no cognitive states"). But again, "because of how extremely well the statistical apparatus works", their outputs are useful to intelligent consumers who do have cognitive states--us.

oh wow!!
> Why is no one highlighting how this is repeating history 8 years ago?

Because it’s not? The tariffs which are currently in effect or soon to go into effect are so far out of line with anything in modern history that there is no comparison.

The reason everyone is panicking is because people expected more of the same as 8 years ago but instead we got something massively worse, without a hint of cohesive strategy, and that has gone into effect rapidly and on the whims of one person who can’t even appear to get on the same page as his advisors.

Everyone knows there’s some element of bluffing going on, but that’s also the problem; This administration knows their bluffs would be transparent this time so they decided to go extra big to make a point. This becomes a problem for all of the people and companies whose business was suddenly upended by out of control tariffs with little time to prepare (compared to the smaller tariffs everyone was preparing for)

They’re banking on the damage either not being directly noticed by their voter base, or being able to convince their voter base that the damage is actually a good thing. I’m already seeing people applaud these actions as if they were narrowly targeted at cheap Chinese goods on Amazon or fast fashion, without realizing how much of the inputs to our economy go through one of the countries with tariffs ranging from 25-145%.

Some people are determined to adopt contrarian positions and act like they’re above it all, but the people who have to deal with the consequences of this stuff (myself included) are taking a lot of damage from these supposedly no big deal negotiations. It’s not being handled well. Even if they were to disappear tomorrow, a lot of damage has been done and they’re hoping people like you will find a way to rationalize it away as not a big deal

> Sharing of data structures between CPU and GPU is nice too

How they did it? Hard to do because GPU hardware can convert data types on the fly, e.g. you can store bytes in VRAM, and convert them to 32-bit floats in [ 0 .. +1 ] in the shader. GPUs can do that for both inputs (loaded texture texels, loaded buffer elements, vertex attributes) and outputs (rendered pixels, stored UAV elements).
Having been involved in some big projects my first instinct is that someone had to make a decision fast. IIRC the PC was designed in an 18-month skunkworks project.

I assume that someone had to meet a deadline, they were probably responsible for half a dozen other more important features, and there was a bleary-eyed team meeting where Chet asked “Any idea better than Dave’s house thing?” A bunch of people disagreed, no one had a markedly better idea than house thing, and it was memorialized with no one in the room remotely comprehending it would affect billions of PCs for the next 40 years.
Genuinely curious what your take is on Biden's competency during his presidency.
They were also seen as a safety win [1][2]. Horses and horse drawn carts were a lot more dangerous than most people here probably think they were.

From the second link:

> It is easy to imagine that a hundred years ago, when cars were first
appearing on our roads, they replaced previously peaceful, gentle and safe
forms of travel. In fact, motor vehicles were welcomed as the answer to a
desperate state of affairs. In 1900 it was calculated that in England and
Wales there were around 100,000 horse drawn public passenger vehicles,
half a million trade vehicles and about half a million private carriages.
Towns in England had to cope with over 100 million tons of horse droppings
a year (much of it was dumped at night in the slums) and countless gallons
of urine. Men wore spats and women favoured outdoor ankle-length coats
not out of a sense of fashion but because of the splash of liquified
manure; and it was so noisy that straw had to be put down outside
hospitals to muffle the clatter of horses’ hooves. Worst of all, with
horses and carriages locked in immovable traffic jams, transport was
grinding to a halt in London and other cities.

> Moreover, horse-drawn transport was not safe. Road traffic deaths
from horse-drawn vehicles in England and Wales between 1901 and 1905 were
about 2,500 a year. This works out as about 70 road traffic deaths per
million population per year which is close to the annual rate of 80 to 100
deaths per million for road traffic accidents in the 1980s and 1990s,
although we must not forget that many people who died from injuries
sustained in road accidents in 1900 would probably have survived today
thanks to our A&E departments.

> Motor vehicles were welcomed because they were faster, safer,
unlikely to swerve or bolt, better able brake in an emergency, and took up
less room: a single large lorry could pull a load that would take several
teams of horses and wagons – and do so without producing any dung. By
World War One industry had become dependent on lorries, traffic cruised
freely down Oxford Street and Piccadilly, specialists parked their
expensive cars ouside their houses in Harley and Wimpole Street, and the
lives of general practitioners were transformed. By using even the
cheapest of cars doctors no longer had to wake the stable lad and harness
the horse to attend a night call. Instead it was ‘one pull of the handle
and they were off’. Further, general practitioners could visit nearly
twice as many patients in a day than they could in the days of the horse
and trap.

A big thanks to FFmpeg (audio, video), libvips (images) and Pandoc (documents) for maintaining such excellent libraries for so many years. VERT relies on them to provide you with your conversions.
I call this intuitive eating.

You're hungry and you feel like carrot sticks with, say, a honey-soy-sauce-tahini based dip, maybe some beetroot hummus <- that's intuitive eating. OR whatever wholesome foods one may prefer at any given time.

You're hungry and you feel like a chocolate bat <- somethings probably misaligned.

Regarding satiation, I tend not to agree with the idea that we're all different. There's eight billion of us, we must have something in common. Having said that, different people are going to find different ratios of the macronutrients more or less satisfying at different times, both proximal and through the human lifecycle.
I feel like GrapheneOS shot itself in the foot, being exclusive to Pixel phones. Pixel phones were great, in the past, but now they're mediocre offerings for their price range and the removal of the 3.5mm jack pushed many of the more techy users away — GrapheneOS's target audience.

Not sure if I'd use GrapheneOS even if it was available on other devices though. Really not a fan of the hostile attitude towards rooting when it's needed for basic functionality like backups — actual, reliable backups for every app, unlike those provided by the built-in solution.
> the policy

The evidence is "incoherent" because the hypothesis is wrong. A policy for America isn't there.

In contrast, everything becomes exceptionally coherent if you instead ask what the policy is for Trump's personal goals: punishing disagreement, amassing wealth, rewarding apparatchiks, and always being in a room full of flattery.

Cross-Entropy and KL Divergence
Hate to say it, but perhaps it is Putin. Not a perfect parallel but he seems to be playing Trump skillfully.
It seems like every new language community and generation of developers needs to re-learn a set of the same lessons (why declarative instead of imperative config is the way to go, why functional is superior to imperative, why immutable is superior to mutable, why TDD (or just unit testing) is important, why hexagonal design is the best organization of logic, why static typing is important, why Nix is the only valid global package manager, etc. etc. etc.) and I suspect it's because these problems all share the same attributes:

1) the inferior solution seems easier at first (but won't be in the long run)

2) the people blithely picking the inferior solution have not yet encountered enough of the thorny nastiness that the initially-harder option completely prevents

the end result being that all the "greybeards" have settled on the "initially harder" solutions for things because they all learned the hard way that it just causes less headaches in the long run
> Europe to be able to make business again freely.

I mean… Europe isn’t particularly well-known for being particularly business friendly. There’s a lot of good there for sure but there’s also a lot of barriers. And I say this as a Canadian who is also disappointed by the overall business environment at home.
Well if Trump wants it to not seem back-handed to create a scheme to force companies to come to him to negotiate, he should be open about it then
For a long time there have been spammers scraping in search of email addresses to spam. There are all kinds of scraper bots with unknown purpose. It's the aggregate of all of them hitting your server, potentially several at the same time.

When I worked at Wikimedia (so ending ~4 years ago) we had several incidents of bots getting lost in a maze of links within our source repository browser (Phabricator) which could account for > 50% of the load on some pretty powerful Phabricator servers (Something like 96 cores, 512GB RAM). This happened despite having those URLs excluded via robots.txt and implementing some rudimentary request throttling. The scrapers were using lots of different IPs simultaneously and they did not seem to respect any kind of sane rate limits. If googlebot and one or two other scrapers hit at the same time it was enough to cause an outage or at least seriously degrade performance.

Eventually we got better at rate limiting and put more URLs behind authentication but it wasn't an ideal situation and would have been quite difficult to deal with had we been much more resource-constrained or less technically capable.
The manual (https://www.gnus.org/manual.html) starts with:

>Meanwhile... making money from online ads isn't trivial. When the advertising model works well (eg search/adwords), it is a money faucet. But... it can be very hard to get that money faucet going.

It's funny how the vibe of HN along with real world 's political spectrum have shifted together.

We can now discuss Ads on HN while still being number 1 and number 2 post. Extremism still exists, but it is retreating.
Especially when unions are involved. We have a flexible schema for many parameters (e.g., X accepts an object or an array of them, and one object has some properties that could be an enum or a detailed shape), and both Zod and Valibot produce incomprehensible and useless error messages that don’t explain what’s wrong. We had to roll our own.
Facebook has been setting some pretty terrible precedents in terms of how far malicious behavior can go unchecked. And once again, nothing meaningful will happen: no real consequences, no structural change.

At worst(/best), they'll walk away with a slap on the wrist (a fine of hundreds of millions, if proven guilty), which is just the cost of doing business at that scale.
I guess for a change Americans will experience what Indians have been subjected to since forever.

Just about anything useful and high quality has been tariffed out of existence in India. It is done in the name of protecting our industry while they catch up with rest of the world.

Exactly backwards has happened. The cars we get here are so bad they are sometimes called tin cans on wheels. Without competitors from across the world Indian auto makers have absolutely no motivation to build world class cars. And it shows on the road.
You're completely moving the goalposts. And I don't find it interesting at all (I mean, I find the general subject interesting and have delved into it for decades but I don't find this sort of casual question based on no such research, trying to connect it to the wrong thing [Cyc] at all interesting) ... would he have been able to create a convincing facsimile?

You could learn to manage your blood sugar.

I liked the book "the glucose revolution" which describes how blood sugar affects you, and some hacks to manage it.

If your blood sugar spikes, it will eventually crash, making you tired, irritable, think unclearly and have strong cravings.

If you manage your blood sugar to even it out, you'll have even energy levels, clear thinking and won't be hungry.

there were a few easy ways to do this. Walking 10 minutes after eating. Switching the order of food in a meal to start out with fiber, add protein and fat and eat carbs towards the end. not eating carbs alone. lots of other things.

EDIT: random summary:

Google App Engine used to do this to environment variables defined in YAML. IIRC it would convert the string "true" to "Yes", which was a fun surprise when deploying Java And NodeJS apps.
I'm guessing the long term vision is phones and cars will receive broadcast television because traditional TVs are usually pretty stationary objects?

The Apple Music app on macos is one of the most horrible UI things I can think of.

Search: You must scroll to the top of the playlists, it's not in the toolbar and always clickable. ALSO: the switch between local/downloaded and all Apple Music is on the Other side of the Screen. It's pseudo-browse ( the back button is inline with the content, and there isn't a Forward button).

I haven't been able to find a way to not show the default view that takes up half the screen. It has an image of the album cover and some flat-ux "buttons" and a checkmark icon, plus a (...) and a 1/4 of the screen just empty.
And kudos to you for following up with your own exploration. It's so often the case that the most interesting stuff is hidden in what other people are wrong about.
