1. The chart shows weeks, not months.
2. It shows scheduled arrivals of vessels in LA. It may not be safe to equate that to freight arriving in the US.

I had a look into the Temu and Aliexpress subreddits: Funeral mood.

DHL suspends high value US deliveries over tariffs

The negative number means that far fewer ships are arriving in LA than at the same time last year.

Yes, and then, or rather now, incoming shipping collapses.

Yes. It goes from much higher than last year to much lower.

You seem to be misreading that.

How you figure? Trump will just fold?

Huh. Haven't actually seen panic on Lemmy. I only see it on social media accounts of economists and logistics people.

Maybe. I have no 6-year-olds around to ask. I have noticed that people often have misconceptions that I can't even fathom because I have grown up in a completely different tech environment. For me, it has not worked to make assumptions.

The average person probably only knows the functioning of the DNS and one or two email apps. And quartz, of course.

Whenever anything is “federated” the easiest comparison is email.

Yes, but how many people know how email works? More to the point, how many people, who aren't looking for the answer on GitHub, know?

They made inquiries with law enforcement agencies and no one took responsibility. The rather optimistic guess in the article is that the cops were acting on their own, which makes the use of the jammer illegal.

In fairness, the word "conscious" has a range of meanings. For some, it is synonymous with certain religious ideas. They would be alarmed by the "heresy". For others, it is synonymous to claiming that some entity is entitled to the same fundamental rights as a human being. Those would be quite alarmed by the social implications. Few people use the term in a strictly empiricist sense.

Good question. Over the years, I've read a number of arguments about consciousness, or more precisely against machine consciousness. One thing that's striking is that the authors never apply the same logic to themselves or humans in general. It's like they completely lack self-awareness. If I took the whole "p-zombie" idea seriously, I'd look for such p-zombies. And these philosophers would be my first candidates.

Yes, that's the point. You'd think they could have, at least, looked into a dictionary at some point in the last 2 years. But nope, everyone else is wrong. A round of applause for the paragons of human intelligence.

Not sure what's alarming about that. It's a bit early to worry about an AI Dred Scott, no?

In short: BONK

It probably thought you were Elon Musk.

I'm disappointed that you can't narrow it down more.
