Chinese exports to the U.S. are estimated at about 3 percent of China's GDP… the PRC seems a bad target for an attempt to bully them through a trade war, and Xi has a lot of internal political capital sunk into *not* bending to US demands

S&P 500 futures fall after historic rally on Trump's tariff walkback - CNBC
‘"Market volatility could remain elevated, despite the 90-day pause on tariffs for non-retaliating countries," said Roach, chief economist at LPL Financial. "Hard data from the early part of the year suggests the economy is slowing, irrespective of trade policy."’

The only way to debug software, as far as I can tell, is to generate something that can be perceived with my senses that allow me to deduce what is wrong. So it's all print statement debugging, it's just sometimes my "print" statement might produce sound, flash LEDs, make something hot or cold, show plots on a screen, or it might (although rarely) be something generated automatically by a fancy debug tool somebody is trying to sell me.

The Media Archaeology Lab (MAL) Practitioner-In-Residence program is inviting applications for the 2025/2026 cohort!
The theme for our 2025/2026 residency is Counter Computing: Alternative Imaginaries. We would like to see your interpretation and exploration of this open brief. You may consider thinking about the following questions: What is computation? What is the role of the “counter” in artistic and technological practice? How can we imagine technology and society otherwise through such counter-acts? What are the poetics of techno-social relations?
We are interested in any form of artistic and/or scholarly practice that engages counter-computational practices, such as glitching, hacking, tinkering, queering, subverting, (un)making and (re)imagining. Through such experimentation, we encourage you to explore how our relation to (and imagination of) technology can be remade to envision alternative pasts, presents and futures.

Speaking of light, a year and a day ago there was a total solar eclipse over a narrow band of North America. I was fortunate to catch it.
No photo can do the experience justice. The sky turns to night, but it's day all around at the horizon. The sun seems to suck its own light back in. You feel a sharp drop in temperature. And a few minutes later, everything is back to normal.
