2: Russia, China, America

Significant progress in AI and Robotics this week.

So, I summarized everything from Google DeepMind, Anthropic, Figure, DeepSeek, Sakana AI, Perplexity, ETH Zurich, Unitree, Physical Intelligence, and more.

Here's everything you need to know and how to make sense out of it:

India has quietly finished 2nd in the Asian Athletics Championship

Its tally of 8 golds is beaten only by China at 19, and India has finished ahead of Japan and South Korea

I think over the next 10 years India will rise extremely rapidly in Olympic sports and rankings

Depends how old you are. Young people should take more risk, because they can afford the most and yet (having just emerged from childhood) are very risk-averse. But I wouldn't recommend more risk for 80 year olds.

No business should be answering their phones with humans anymore.

At worst, an AI voice agent can pick up on the first ring, triage, and send to a human. At best, they fully handle the call.

I’m seeing an explosion of “call answering”apps along these lines, especially for SMBs.

I’m forcing a vote to end Trump’s chaotic trade war.

It’s time for Republicans in Congress to decide if they’ll do their jobs and stand up for the American people alongside Democrats, or if they’ll fall on the ground and kiss the hem of Trump's britches.

What Trump Isn’t Telling You About His Trade War With China Trump may be more dangerous to his own side of a trade war than to the other guy. ....... China buys agricultural products and airplanes from America, and it can almost certainly get what it needs elsewhere. But where is the United States going to get rare-earth minerals, essential for American industry and the military-industrial base? .......... China is the OPEC of rare earths, which are essential for American industry and for military production ........ A single F-35 fighter plane contains some 900 pounds of rare earths, and a submarine may use more than four tons of them........ Trump’s concerns about China are in many ways legitimate: It has manipulated trade. He’s right that our weakness in manufacturing and supply lines is a critical security deficiency, especially given China’s strengths in areas like drones and batteries. I’d be delighted if Trump tackled these issues seriously with targeted tariffs, a crackdown on transshipments to evade tariffs, subsidies for critical industries at home and cooperation with allies abroad. Instead, it’s not quite clear what his aim is, and the United States has gone out of its way to antagonize allies. ........ One alarming sign: Even before the latest tariffs, a poll in Southeast Asia found that for the first time, a majority of people there would choose China over the United States if forced to align with one side or the other. ........... China has other tools available in this trade war with America beyond stopping most exports of rare earths. It could stop its limited cooperation on narcotics and turn a blind eye to its greedy private companies that would like to export fentanyl to America or fentanyl precursor chemicals to Mexico. Conversely, it could tighten shipments to the United States of cardiovascular or cancer medicines that Americans rely on. ....... China could also dump U.S. Treasuries for a few days, panicking the bond market and weakening the dollar. ......... It has already burrowed into American infrastructure as part of its Volt Typhoon cyberespionage campaign and could try turning the lights off in a small American city or creating havoc for a day in the banking system. ............... economic forecasters think a recession is far more likely in the United States than in China. .......... There’s nothing wrong with picking the right fight and taking a stand, and China’s trade policies are a legitimate target. But Trump’s campaign seems destined to fracture our alliances and magnify American weakness. He is taking a tariff to a gunfight.

The Trade Adviser Who Hates Trade Once sidelined, President Trump’s counselor Peter Navarro has returned to Washington and quickly upended the global trading system. .............. On a clear day last July in Miami, Peter Navarro emerged from four months in federal prison, where he’d been imprisoned for contempt of Congress. Mr. Navarro had refused to testify in an investigation of the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol, an action he described as a defense of the Constitution.......... Just hours after his release from prison, Mr. Navarro flew to Milwaukee to speak at the Republican National Convention in support of Donald J. Trump’s re-election............ “They convicted me, they jailed me. Guess what? They did not break me,” he said that night, punctuating each word as the crowd roared. It was an exercise in loyalty to Mr. Trump that seems to have paid off. .......... For much of Mr. Trump’s first term, Mr. Navarro, a trade adviser, had been sidelined, mocked and minimized by other officials who saw his protectionist views on trade as factually wrong and dangerous for the country. ......... Earlier this month, Mr. Navarro publicly sparred over the tariffs with Elon Musk, who he dismissed as “a car assembler,” not a “car manufacturer.” Mr. Musk responded that the trade adviser was “dumber than a sack of bricks,” later adding that the comparison was “unfair to bricks.” ......... who have cringed at his ideas and mocked him for his quirks, like inventing a fictitious expert named Ron Vara (an anagram of Navarro) he quoted in his books. ........

“It’s like appointing someone who believes the world is flat to be in charge of NASA”

......... Mr. Navarro went on to earn a Ph.D in economics from Harvard. He believed in the benefits of free trade, and in 1984, he published his first book, which featured a chapter defending it. (“I drank the Kool-Aid,” he said in the January interview.) ............ He taught business and economics, first in San Diego and then at the University of California, Irvine, where he became a tenured professor and worked for more than 20 years. He spent his nights lecturing and his days writing books (“Big Picture Investing” and “If It’s Raining in Brazil, Buy Starbucks”) and appearing as a commentator on TV. ........... He wrote for well-regarded economic journals and coauthored a paper with someone who went on to win a Nobel Prize. ........... An environmentalist and social liberal, he ran for office repeatedly as a Democrat, and spoke at the 1996 Democratic National Convention. He also ran for San Diego mayor, in a campaign that was focused on blocking big developers. ........... His key finding was that it wasn’t just cheap labor driving prices, but a suite of predatory trading practices, including export subsidies, currency manipulation and a lack of protections for workers and the environment. .................... Mr. Navarro said his first contact with the future president came after a 2011 blog post in the Los Angeles Times that described Mr. Trump giving an interview to the Chinese press, in which Mr. Trump supposedly rattled off his 20 favorite books on China. Mr. Navarro’s “The Coming China Wars” was among them. ................. as the United States descended into the pandemic, Mr. Navarro became more enmeshed in conspiracy theories. He sparred with Anthony Fauci, the president’s former chief medical adviser, over using hydroxychloroquine for treating Covid, something Mr. Trump promoted and which Mr. Navarro continues to strongly support.

Will This Conservative Legal Doctrine Undo Trump’s First Months in Office? A legal doctrine popularized by conservatives on the Supreme Court to constrain the reach of regulatory agencies is now being brandished by opponents of President Trump to challenge his seemingly boundless claims of presidential power. ......... The doctrine, a particularly potent brand of judge-made law that coalesced in Supreme Court rulings in recent years, requires the government to point to a “clear congressional authorization” when it makes decisions of great “economic and political significance.” .......... One of the most recent challenges against the Trump administration was brought by a conservative legal group, the New Civil Liberties Alliance, against the president’s economy-rattling tariffs. Because the tariffs present a matter of “vast economic and political significance,” the group argues in its lawsuit, the major questions doctrine requires the president to show that the law he invoked “clearly authorizes” the tariffs. “The president cannot make that showing,” the group asserts on behalf of a Florida stationery retailer. .......... the legal argument they are advancing would also undo much of his first three months in office. For like his tariffs, Mr. Trump’s attempts to freeze federal funding, revoke birthright citizenship, interfere with states’ administration of their elections and slash the government using the so-called Department of Government Efficiency are all issues of major national significance that Congress has not clearly authorized the president to decide. .......... Many lawsuits raising these exact arguments are now pending in federal courts around the country. ........... Here is the doctrine being wielded again in a brief filed by 14 states challenging the sweeping actions taken by Elon Musk and DOGE: On the question of whether Mr. Musk or DOGE has clear congressional authority to take “major economic, political and social” actions to dismantle the federal government, the states argue: “The answer is a resounding no. Defendants do not even attempt to suggest otherwise.” .......... The thrust of the major questions doctrine, though, is that even if the president were right on the substance, these are all major issues that Congress ought to decide given its role as our nation’s constitutionally ordained lawmaking institution.

Harvard University sues to block Trump from slashing billions in research funding
Big Tech’s Troubles We explain why the government is trying to break up companies like Meta and Google........... Not so long ago, Washington was smitten with Silicon Valley. But then tech companies consolidated power, and lawmakers grew skeptical. Over time, members of both parties decided they had to dismantle what they felt were monopolies. .......... For everyday Americans, less competition can mean lower wages, higher prices and worse products. The classic example is internet service. Across much of the country, people have only one or two options for internet. Providers get away with higher prices, spotty coverage and bad customer service because they know their users don’t have better alternatives. ...........

A star cluster in the Milky Way appears to be as old as the universe Measuring ages of ancient clusters like M92 can help resolve a puzzle about cosmic evolution ......... One of the oldest known objects in the universe is wandering around the Milky Way. ......... One of the oldest known objects in the universe is wandering around the Milky Way. .......

Trump, the Worst Boss You’ve Ever Had Donald Trump did not — and does not — recognize any distinction between himself and the office of the presidency. He is it, and it is him. .......... This view is as close a fundamental rejection of American constitutionalism as you can imagine — and it helps explain much of the former president’s behavior in and out of office. It is why he could not abide any opposition to anything he tried to pursue, why he raged against the “deep state,” why he strained against every limit on his authority, why he rejected the very idea that he could lose the 2020 presidential election and why he decided he could simply take classified documents to his home in Florida. ...... For Trump, he is the president. He is the government. The documents, in his mind, belonged to him. .......... Of course, business owners have always been a critical part of state and local Republican politics. The nation’s state legislatures and county boards of supervisors are full of the proprietors of family-owned car dealerships, fast food franchises, construction companies, landscaping businesses and regional distribution firms. And in fact, many of the most visible and important families in conservative politics have their own family firms, albeit supersized ones: the Kochs, the DeVoses, the Crows and the Trumps. ............ No longer content to run government for business, the Republican Party now hopes to run government as a business. ........... government as the fief of a small-business tyrant.
