Probably not going to happen in the house. The 4 Senate Republicans that voted that way are known breakaways/Trump haters:
Republican Sens. Susan Collins (Maine), Mitch McConnell (Ky.) Lisa Murkowski (Alaska) and Rand Paul (Ky.) joined Democrats in voting for the measure, which passed 51-48.

Not particularly, just frequent posters I’m familiar with.
I plan to get more involved once I get some personal stuff straight.
Heh, I’m an EE dropout kinda in machine learning stuff now. Good luck, chemical engineering seems tough (but cool).
But yeah, on Lemmy the idea is to post in communities that fit your niches, rather than trying to follow people directly like Mastadon, Twitter or whatever. Those are a bit slim but growing (for instance, there are some active science-focused communities/servers).
You can generally toggle LLM “grounding” features, aka inserting web searches into their context.
Modern LLMs have a information “cutoff” of a few months ago, at the latest, so the base models will have zero awareness of this formula.
TBH it’s probably human written.
I used to write small articles for a tech news outlet on the side (HardOCP), and the entire site went under well before the AI boom because no one can compete with conveyer belts of of thoughtless SEO garbage, especially when Google promotes it.
Point being, this was a problem well before the rise of LLMs.
In this case, it’s as simple as “type it into ChatGPT, like the Reddit users did” :/
That they didn’t try to replicate it.
How about the outlet checks and finds out?
I did, and I couldn’t get low-temperature Gemini or a local LLM to replicate it, and not all the tariffs seem to be based on the trade deficit ratio, though some suspiciously are.
Sorry, but this is a button of mine, outlets that ask stupidly easy to verify questions but dont even try. No, just cite people on Reddit and Twitter…
I’m all for “it’s benefitting the billionaires,” and that’s what tariffs do, but most of the ultra-wealthy’s money is tied up in the market, too. It’s more that this is a regressive tax to fund cuts to progressive taxes, fucking shit up is not the intent.
Some of the administration’s actions really are them drinking their own Kool-aid. Like, what they’ve done to the HHS is objectively detrimental to the ultra-wealthy old guys too. There’s some arguments to be had around tariffs, but implementing them Iike this is more on the kool-aid side.
This gold from wallstreetbets:
Soooo is the tariffs charged to the United States really a ratio of the trade imbalance?? For example Vietnam imported roughly 14.6 billion in goods from the United States, and we imported around 146 billion, so thus they have decided tariffs are 90% to the United States…thus we are putting a tariff on them of half of that…which means we are literally tariffing the goods we either a)need more or b) get more efficiently at a higher rate? That may be the absolute dumbest way to create a tariff policy I could imagine if that is the case…which it looks to be.

They’ll try to spin it in tomorrows finance news, so it may be sharp but not as sharp as it should be.
Most headlines I see are going with 10%, which is a big understatement.
It’s because they’re run by billionaires. Even liberal, big outlets harp on cultural issues to redirect focus.
Bingo.
It’s true in many roundabout ways, but the math adds up to “break for billionaires.”
Like, it’s full of nepotism and revenge, too. The Taiwan tax sucks. And take the discrete tax on automobiles and auto parts: I’ll give you one guess on who that benefits.
The tiny scale artists still have to buy supplies. And eat, and pay rent.
Don’t forget, this is a regressive tax, and small craft workers tend to be poor.
Their prices will go up as much. It may even be worse for them, in aggregate, even if selling more of their stuff.
Probably fucking subsidized instead, though I didn’t see specifics about fossil fuels
I’m not sure that’s any better, as traders and news have a whole night to digest it now. It might’ve seemed less bad with just an hour (before the next controversy consumes the cycle).
They paused elections, and Zelensky has some extraordinary wartime authority. He could try to consolidate power after the war, but he certainly won’t.
They aren’t really a dictatorship, of course, I’m just trying to illustrate that dictators can and have chosen to give up power… And it’s unfortunate that more don’t.
True! Models not trained on a specific language are generally bad at that language.
However, there are some exceptions, like a Japanese tune of Qwen 32B which dramatically enhances it Japanese, but the training has to be pretty extensive.
And even that aside… the effect is still there. The point it to illustrate that LLMs are sort of “language independent” internally, like you said.
It’s a metaphor.
They’re translating the input tokens to intent in the model’s middle layers, which is a bit more precise.
I don’t mean to be rude though, PM me about stuff if you want! But I make no promises about a timely response lol.
