I suggested earlier post that coders write an app for browsers that shows the price of Trumps Tariff Taxes on all rhe things.

Many wrote back saying it would be too hard because constantly changing Trump babble and policy changes.

Here is another path, have the app check prices for the product on other nations Amazon's and subtract the difference in real.time. and

That's the Trump Tax

I keep reading about how #genAI is destroying #art #communities and #coders losing their jobs. I used to work as a #translator and a lot of language professionals are losing their jobs too. Wondering where this will lead in the end. I mean, are we just going to sit and watch how things go downhill? Because I also read how bad #AI handles all sorts of tasks and how it always requires a human to fix it. In translation, post-editing an AI translated text is absolutely necessary. 1/2

I have a #GitHub question (I am a GitHub newbie, but familiar with other repos like SVN):

I’d like to see others’ code on GitHub but I feel weird about pull requests to accounts of people I don’t know.

Is there etiquette around this?

For context: I’m autistic and this is the kind of thing I’ll screw up IF there are unwritten rules! But a lecturer on my masters course recommended I explore others’ coding solutions on GitHub. I just feel so weird actually doing this!

“The story of automation in the US is that it has mostly impacted on manual workers in manufacturing. For example, factory employees — such as carmakers — performing routine tasks have lost their jobs to robots — or lower-cost Asian competitors.

#IndustrialAutomation has tended to affect lower-skilled, #BlueCollar jobs in the “#rustbelt” heartlands and small-town, less-educated communities in the south and midwest.

But a recent study from the #BrookingsInstitution suggests that the communities most exposed to AI-driven job dislocation will be #WhiteCollar information workers. The researchers studied the usage of #OpenAI’s #GenerativeAI tools across more than 1,000 occupations and mapped this against where those jobs were most commonly located.

Their analysis suggests that many #coders, #lawyers, #FinancialAnalysts and #bureaucrats in cities such as San Jose, San Francisco, Durham, New York and Washington DC might want to rethink their futures. But #NonOffice-bound #workers in places such as Las Vegas, Toledo, Ohio and Fort Wayne, Indiana may be less exposed to AI disruption.”

My observation since 2022 when #ChristopherHohn an influential shareholder decided to *speak out* about “reducing its head count and paying (hi-tech) workers less”. [1]

This is the decade where extreme (cost) pressure will be forced on White collar workers by the introduction of AI.
