Think of steel as flour for the manufacturing economy. A tariff is like a flour tax: the mill might add 1,000 jobs, but factories using flour cut around 75,000. That’s what happens when you tax an input instead of solving the real problem.

Someone told me my posts “sound like AI.”
So I built an AI detector in Java with Quarkus + LangChain4j.
It turns out detection is harder — and more fascinating — than you’d think.

His people obviously briefed him well, and this is the first thing they said after the meeting. If you can make national statements like this without deviating for a second from the local message, you really know what you're doing. bsky.app/profile/zohr...
Working people have been left behind in New York. In the wealthiest city in the world, one in five can't afford $2.90 for the train or bus. As I told Trump today— it’s time to put those people right back at the heart of our politics.

If you don't trust Google then you probably shouldn't use Gmail, but the claim it's training AI on your emails and attachments has *no real source that i have been able to find whatsoever*
And they said on the record that it doesn't matter whether you have the smart settings on or not, they don't.

Small thing, but I like that European electrical codes aren’t so prescriptive about where outlets are placed. In this bedroom in the US, you’d need one duplex outlet per wall, inevitably placing one (and only one) on the wall of the bed, but behind the bed frame rather than next to it

It's too easy to be distracted by the economic story of the day. The more important story is of our system fraying: The rule of law is decaying, Bribery spreading, crony capitalism normalized. It won’t show up in next quarter’s data, but when our kids try to build their lives.
