So potus is proud of raising $80 billion in tariffs this year so far.
Biden raised $50 billion in tariffs in 2022 without crippling industries and alienating the world’s commerce.
Also, the U.S. government spends $38.7 billion on paper in 2022.
The whole U.S. government budget: $5.35 trillion.
So in 33 years, #TrumpTariffs might pay for a single year.

A Deep Dive into X’s Community Notes: An Analysis of English and Spanish Contributions Between 2021 and 2025
The Digital Democracy Institute of the Americas (DDIA) examined how X’s Community Notes system functions across English and Spanish, drawing from over 1.76 million notes submitted globally between 2021 and 2025. The report explores submission and publication dynamics, contributor behavior, and systemic challenges like transparency gaps and rating backlogs. As community-driven content moderation becomes a global model, this report sheds light on its potential, and limitations, for building a h…

OpenAI Employees Have Cashed Out $3 Billion in Shares
My colleague Sri Muppidi broke the news Wednesday of OpenAI’s latest fundraising talks as it seeks to raise an unprecedented $40 billion. One previously unreported detail is that SoftBank bought about $240 million in shares from a small group of current and former employees this spring.That deal ...

Faster Remainder by Direct Computation: Applications to Compilers and Software Libraries
On common processors, integer multiplication is many times faster than integer division. Dividing a numerator n by a divisor d is mathematically equivalent to multiplication by the inverse of the divisor (n / d = n x 1/d). If the divisor is known in advance---or if repeated integer divisions will be performed with the same divisor---it can be beneficial to substitute a less costly multiplication for an expensive division. Currently, the remainder of the division by a constant is computed from…

On lattice coverings by locally anti-blocking bodies and polytopes with few vertices
In 2021, Ordentlich, Regev and Weiss made a breakthrough that the lattice covering density of any $n$-dimensional convex body is upper bounded by $cn^{2}$, improving on the best previous bound established by Rogers in 1959. However, for the Euclidean ball, Rogers obtained the better upper bound $n(\log_{e}n)^{c}$, and this result was extended to certain symmetric convex bodies by Gritzmann. The constant $c$ above is independent on $n$. In this paper, we show that such a bound can be achieved fo…

Vintage NPOI: New and Updated Angular Diameters for 145 Stars
We present new or updated angular diameters, physical radii, and effective temperatures for 145 stars from the Navy Precision Optical Interferometer data archive. We used data from 1996 to late-2021, and we describe the differences between early and late data, which hinge upon an update of the beam combiner in 2002. We came across several sub-categories of stars of interest: 13 of our stars are promising targets for the Habitable World Observatory and therefore require as much study as possible…
