Last time I took a solo road trip, '93, I had an AM car radio. It seemed I was chasing Joan Osborne concerts and Sherman Alexie readings all over the SW US. And the great LDS feminist rebellion where one person said no in the general conference vote. 🙄It was great in New Mexico when everything went multilingual, Spanish, English, Navajo, all mixed together. I broke down in Casa Grande (the car broke down) as they were shelling the Russian white house, fun times. It was nice to hang out with the parrots in the palms. No idea how I survived that trip 😆 youtube.com/watch?v=hbAeTywPiP…

"Wanneer gerenommeerde instituties als het NIOD, en de Hebrew University in Jeruzalem, spreken van genocide en genocidaal geweld, dan kan de Nederlandse regering niet langer wegkijken en moet het de Israëlische regering tot de orde roepen"

Agreed, I am not an expert at coding by any means but what I do know is that good programming requires skill, effort and pateience so your final software works properly.

Quite a few people have jumped on this bandwagon so yeah it is about promoting those platforms or making a quick buck somewhere.

Maybe it is another example of dumbing down.

in reply to Brian Sletten

I worked on building tools like those back in the 1980s. At their worst they were template-driven code generators (fine if the templates suit, which was rarely) and at their best, very high level languages in their own right. Really not like vibe coding, which is better described as "guesswork driven development"

So, like...Quasi-true? Yeah, that's all I got.

Tape drive repair at the Computer History Museum. I helped @tubetime figure out why the tape drives wouldn't backspace. The problem turned out to be a bad germanium transistor on an inverter card. 1/5

The IBM 1401 was the most popular computer of the early 1960s. It has rows and rows of circuit boards—each the size of a playing card—to implement its logic. This computer predates silicon, so it is implemented with germanium transistors.


I ordered a couple of those Trianglelab knock-off CHT nozzles.

Where local forecast offices no longer monitor #weather around-the-clock. For at least 1/2 a century, the National Weather Service has been an around-the-clock operation. That is no longer the case in parts of the country (CA) as the employees were fired and offices closed. There was a tornado in Dundalk MD 6pm tonight, and and no alerts went out for surrounding areas where there were 65 mph winds and micro bursts, on top of a week of #flooding. archive.ph/c6sIy #climatecrisis + No #FEMA

How Higher Inflation and Tariffs Impact Your Wallet

Hey everyone, it’s been a week with some pretty significant economic news, and honestly, some of it feels like a bit of a gut punch. Last night on the CBS Evening News, they highlighted a really concerning report: most Americans aren’t earning enough to truly afford a basic quality of life.

Think about that for a second. This isn’t just about scraping by for food and rent anymore. This report factored in things we all rely on, like technology for work and school, healthcare costs, and even childcare. And the bottom 60% of households? It’s out of reach for them. That’s a huge chunk of our country.

Then, adding to the picture, Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell was talking about a potential new economic landscape with higher inflation risks. What does that translate to? Well, it likely means interest rates could stay higher for longer.

To help us make sense of all this, CBS brought in Clare Jones, the U.S. Economics Editor for the Financial Times, and she laid it out pretty clearly.

Clare pointed out that Powell’s remarks really show how much things have shifted. Remember not that long ago when the big worry was too little inflation? Now, the Fed is preparing for the possibility of too much. We’ve already seen how recent price hikes have squeezed our wallets, and higher interest rates are likely to keep that pressure on. Say goodbye to those super low interest rates we saw after the 2008 crisis and during the early pandemic days.

So, is this the start of a slippery slope towards a weaker economy, maybe even a recession? It’s the question on everyone’s mind, right?

Clare offered a little bit of a silver lining, mentioning some recent high-level talks between the US and China that led to a significant drop in tariffs on Chinese goods – from a whopping 145% down to 30%. That’s definitely a positive step and should offer some relief.

However, she also cautioned that we’re likely still looking at higher prices and slower economic growth in the coming months. A big part of that is the lingering impact of the tariffs and trade policies from the previous administration.

We even heard how major players like Walmart are expecting to raise prices later this month specifically because of these tariffs. Think about what that means for families already struggling to afford the essentials. As Clare put it, “It’s bad news.”

And it’s not just the big corporations feeling it. Small businesses are echoing these concerns. While the tariff reduction is better, 30% is still a significant cost that will likely be passed on to us, the consumers.

Here’s the kicker: this tariff reduction is only a 90-day pause. So, there’s still a huge cloud of uncertainty hanging over businesses and our everyday spending.

Clare’s final assessment was pretty blunt: “Frankly, we’re still in a worse position than we were at the start of the year. The outlook isn’t a total disaster, but it’s not looking particularly hopeful either.”

It’s a reality check, for sure. It feels like we’re all navigating a tougher economic landscape right now, and these insights from the CBS Evening News and Clare Jones really highlight the challenges many of us are facing. Let’s hope those talks and the tariff adjustments lead to more positive changes down the road.

What are your thoughts on all this? How are you feeling the impact of these economic shifts? Let’s chat in the comments below.
