Yeah I was wondering if those models try to smooth those bumps.

Is that true? I have three kids now, two of them in high school, that are perhaps more AI-savvy than me (both good and bad). I think the article, and my limited professional view, is informed by SoftwareDev, IT infrastructure and Enterprise technology. I think a lot of younger people are happily plugging AI into their life.

I moved to Kagi when Chrome moved to end Manifest V2. I am aware of workarounds, but I have really been moving to de-google my life. Honestly, I have been happy with the results and I think it's good to have various competitors out there. I even use Orion Browser for most personal browsing, and it has been acceptable with a few bugs here and there.

Not sure why this really matters a ton if they announced a 100+ billion pentagon budget increase.


There have been multiple errors posted in this thread, and I don't know where those numbers are coming from since the budget is public record.

The '25 budget has not yet been approved, but the request is $8 billion more last year, not $100 billion.


You're right that Trump's original request for 2025, and what Congress has been working on was not bumping up to a trillion.

People are reacting to https://www.militarytimes.com/news/pentagon-congress/2025/04...

This would be for the 2026 budget.


Cos now that money can now go straight to more Starlink for the pentagon.


Silly question, but what will it take for the "1.0" release? Seems like a fairly mature product at this point!

They lost about 1.5x the value of Volkswagen today (so far). Crazy how (over)valued this company was/is.


Tesla has been the most heavily subsidized automaker in the US. Biden's historic investments in EV subsidies only increased that. It was leading the EV industry and it seemed impossible for it to fail even with the safety scandals that plagued it for nearly a decade

It's truly incredible that someone could fuck up such a favorable position


> most heavily subsidized automaker

The federal government literally purchased all of GM & Chrysler in 2009.


Tesla has also received $466,500,000 in bailouts. But bailouts are NOT the same thing as subsidies

The enterprise value of VW is 200B. Tesla is down ~100B today.


I was referring to market cap.


Publicly traded equity is only part of the value of a company though, especially when you are talking about a company that might have significant capital assets.


Do you have thoughts about Kagi/Orion browser? I've been using it for a bit now and I've been pleased with the ad blocking capabilities and the ability to have ublock origin on my iPhone and iPad. The browser definitely has scales but it's usable for me at this point.


Not open source.


Your comment was downvoted into oblivion, but it's a very valid point. There is a significant number of GNU/Linux users who value the freedoms granted by FLOSS licensing, so I believe Orion not being a FLOSS project is a valid argument against it - specifically in context of GNU/Linux (as a part of Free Software movement).

At least it certainly leaves me (personally) having second thoughts, even though I'm no purist and use proprietary software (but try prefer free software if I can).


macOS only


Linux is coming, but that still leaves Windows and Android (and iOS?) out.



I recently migrated to Orion in order to continue using Ublock Origin, and became a Kagi subscriber as well. Very pleased with the results so far, and I have yet to try the assistant but I'll give that a go today.


So this is just going to be ongoing drama the beginning of every month indefinitely? I’m not even sure what we are trying to extract from Canada at this point.


> I’m not even sure what we are trying to extract from Canada at this point.

Their energy, their focus, their attention. Your attention. All the time people spend in stress / outrage / fear / whatever in reaction to these events, that's time and energy not available to look at the news that get less coverage (which are usually the more important).

It also sucks all the air out of other internal political discussion - US trade relations take #1 priority and so everything else either gets forgotten or put on hold.

Easy way to set your opponents back when you have the upper hand like the US does.


“How can I decouple from the US as fast as possible?” is what this leads to.

Diplomacy is the art of saying “good dog” until you make it to the rock. The US will apply pressure for short term gain against allies while they move away long term.


Correct, that seems to be the intent behind these policies.


> Easy way to set your opponents back when you have the upper hand like the US does.

if the US had the upper hand it wouldn't have issued this partial climb-down

so much winning


Not sure how this is setting Canada back.

It's actually pushing us to improve our economic policies that we've been debating about for years because the country is mostly united.

Getting rid of interprovincial trade barriers is a net good for Canada as is increasing trade diversification.

The US definitely seems like the one set back so far...


It seems like they keep trying it and hoping the markets respond better.

But watching today, it seems like the markets aren't getting tricked anymore.


The markets(TM) tend to have a bit of a normalcy/nothing-ever-happens bias, and are overly-willing to discount the possibility of unusual/nonsensical things happening. So, to an extent, even when tariffs were announced, the markets did not entirely believe in them.

However, they are beginning to believe in them now.


I don’t know who needs to hear this in the executive branch, but markets do not like uncertainty.


Are you not entertained?


Not even in the abstract.


No. No, I'm not.

I'm several other things, but I'm not entertained.


[flagged]


Every time Trump mentions how the US “subsidizes” Canada I assume he is talking about the trade deficit? Maybe defense? I have no idea.


>The opposite of being bored is to be surprised

Eh, the opposite of being bored is being excited/engaged, and the opposite of being surprised is being predictable. I don't disagree that predictable is probably what we want for a lot of what we see around us (no one wants unpredictable traffic lights), I think we are lying to ourselves if for at least some subset of our work-life we want cool and shiny, so long as we are within the bounds of business objectives.
