A few words of clarity on Trump's so called "reciprocal" tarrifs.
"... the formula for determining the new rates turns out to have been based simply on the dollar value of goods the U.S. imports from a given country relative to how much it exports."

This article starts to hit on just what I have been thinking and feeling for many years. Democrats must adjust their platform to speak to a larger slice of the American electorate.

The Political Fight of the Century

"Attempts to cast him as a staunch proponent of American restraint or opponent of corporate greed do not reflect his pre-political career, never fit his first-term policies, and don’t describe his current ones."
The Trump Backers Who Have Buyer’s Remorse

So it looks like the First Scaling Law of AI (the bigger the model the “smarter”) still holds as order of magnitude increases in compute lead to linear improvements in model ability
GPT-3.5 Turbo scored 30% on GPQA, GPT-4 Turbo got 47%, now GPT-4.5 got 70%
But Reasoners add a steeper Scaling Law

One thing that the various Deep Research tools are demonstrating is that there is tremendous value in a RAG strategy that just consists of giving an advanced model a search engine and letting it look up whatever it feels is necessary in order to respond to a prompt.
