No they don’t. Canada and Mexico want none of this. They want the president of the United States to respect and abide by the trade treaty he negotiated with them - and not make up bogus pretexts for plunging us all into a gratuitous no win economic debacle.

I’m going to put my rich guy hat on and say I hope that Mexico and Canada issue equal, retaliatory tariffs and stick to them for an extended period.

I apologize to all the people it will cost money and the businesses it will hurt.

But it’s the only way for tariffs to be seen for what they are

A friend shared these words by Aeschylus (in Agamemnon). I had to read them a couple of times.

"Be healer to this perplexity
that grows now into darkness of thought
while again sweet hope shining from the flames
beats back the pitiless pondering
of sorrow that eats my heart."

I am a climate scientist and this is correct ⬇️

Occasional reminder that there’s no, “it’s too late, its over” for anthropogenic climate change. Every molecule of CO2 that doesn’t go into the atmosphere makes a difference. Preventing 0.1 degree of warming makes a difference. Every bit of climate resilience we build together makes a difference.

I'm gonna share this cartoon again simply because Jeff Bezos' Washington Post tried to censor it.

My belief about what o3 seems to prove: given enough compute, you can now fine tune a model to do any task that a human can do which has a clear right or wrong answer. This model can then (usually? always? sometimes?) be used to train a much cheaper model to do it at scale. 1/2
