The world economy is reeling today as businesses and investors try to unpack Donald Trump's so-called "reciprocal tariffs."Trump aims to curb the United States' reliance on foreign goods by raising the import cost for different countries, which is throwing the US-dominated global supply chain into chaos. Wall Street is in shambles as a result, with some $5 trillion in market value being wiped out in the past two days the worstperformance for the S&P 500 since the pandemic shock of 2020.Tech stocks were hammered especially hard after China announced its own tariffs of 34 percent in response to Trump's moves, thanks to their dependence on Chinese minerals and labor. And of all the tech companies bleeding out on the Stock Exchange floor, Tesla is in particularly rough shape.Elon Musk's EV company posted losses for ten of the last 11 weeks, and this one was no different. On Friday, Tesla's stock plummeted almost immediately after China announced its return volley, and continued to fall throughout the day to the tune of a 10 percent drop. Overall, Tesla's stock value has fallen by nearly 44 percent since Trump took office.That's before you even mention Tesla's dismal quarterly sales results, which came in lower than even the worst estimates at a three-year low. Analysts are now predicting a second straight year of sales decline for Tesla, which is bad news for Tesla's long term outlook.It's all coming together to threaten Tesla's status as a "growth stock," an iron-clad company like Alphabet or Apple whose financial growth is seen as all but guaranteed. Of course, that future depends on a healthy and confident stock market, which we probably won't see again for a while, as all signs point toward a recession.Musk's personal fortune, which is tightly connected to Tesla, likewise took a plunge. Thanks to Trump's tariffs, his massive hoard of riches shed some $11 billion, for a 2.5 percent loss. Forbeshad previously reported in March that Musk's net worth was down by $104 billion since Trump took office on January 20th, a number that these tariffs might soon look like chump change as countries cancel Starlink contracts and the European Union prepares its own retaliatory measures.As the world braces for further economic fallout in the weeks to come, its clear that Trumps tariffs may have set off a chain reaction that could reshape global markets and Musks EV empire forever.Share This Article

Hints and answers for the NYT Connections: Sports Edition puzzle, No. 195, for Sunday, April 6.

Rise of the Ronin developer Team Ninja has "sincerely apologised" for "inconveniences" with its Steam port.In a brief statement posted to X/Twitter, Team Ninja confirmed that it was "investigating reported issues" with the game and is preparing a patch to "fix or improve some of this issues", which is expected to go live on Thursday 10th April.Xbox currently has more first-party games coming to PlayStation 5 this year than Sony.Watch on YouTubeRise of the Ronin released on Steam on 11th March 2025, and it's currently sitting on a "mixed" user score, with just 57 percent of the 3118 reviewers opting to award it a positive rating.Like many other PC ports of late, much of the criticism is aimed squarely at the game's "horrible" optimisation, including issues with enemies loading in for bossfights, missing NPCs, invisible walls, and missing assets like ladders."I really like the gameplay, the combat, maybe the exploration (it has its issues, though) but I can't recommend this game in good faith when it has some of the most terrible optimisation ever," explained one player. To see this content please enable targeting cookies."Not only that, but they managed to update the game to make it both look AND perform worse in an attempt to band-aid fix the performance issues, effectively ruining something I could at least enjoy before.""A shame, the game seems quite good, but the port is just not worth paying any money for," opined another. "Performance is abysmal, frame rates above 60 fps lead to issues and bugs, and the only way to get a frame rate close to anything playable is to set lots of graphical options to the lowest, leading to a very poor image. I would love to play the game, but nobody should be paying for a port in a state like this."We awarded Rise of the Ronin four out of five stars in Eurogamer's review, saying: "[Developer] Team Ninja borrows the open-world familiarity and historical tourism of Assassin's Creed while adapting its own breed of hardcore action for the mainstream."

A mega API could potentially allow someone with access to export all IRS data to the systems of their choosing, including private entities. If that person also had access to other interoperable datasets at separate government agencies, they could compare them against IRS data for their own purposes.Schematizing this data and understanding it would take years, an IRS source tells WIRED. Just even thinking through the data would take a long time, because these people have no experience, not only in government, but in the IRS or with taxes or anything else. (There is a lot of stuff that I don't know that I am learning now, Corcos tells Ingraham in the Fox interview. I know a lot about software systems, that's why I was brought in.")These systems have all gone through a tedious approval process to ensure the security of taxpayer data. Whatever may replace them would likely still need to be properly vetted, sources tell WIRED."It's basically an open door controlled by Musk for all American's most sensitive information with none of the rules that normally secure that data," an IRS worker alleges to WIRED.Got a Tip?Are you a current or former government employee who wants to talk about what's happening? We'd like to hear from you. Using a nonwork phone or computer, contact the reporter securely on Signal at makenakelly.32.The data consolidation effort aligns with President Donald Trumps executive order from March 20, which directed agencies to eliminate information silos. While the order was purportedly aimed at fighting fraud and waste, it also could threaten privacy by consolidating personal data housed on different systems into a central repository, WIRED previously reported.In a statement provided to WIRED on Saturday, a Treasury spokesperson said the department is pleased to have gathered a team of long-time IRS engineers who have been identified as the most talented technical personnel. Through this coalition, they will streamline IRS systems to create the most efficient service for the American taxpayer. This week the team will be participating in the IRS Roadmapping Kickoff, a seminar of various strategy sessions, as they work diligently to create efficient systems. This new leadership and direction will maximize their capabilities and serve as the tech-enabled force multiplier that the IRS has needed for decades.Palantir, Sam Corcos, and Gavin Kliger did not immediately respond to requests for comment.In February, a memo was drafted to provide Kliger with access to personal taxpayer data at the IRS, The Washington Post reported. Kliger was ultimately provided read-only access to anonymized tax data, similar to what academics use for research. Weeks later, Corcos arrived, demanding detailed taxpayer and vendor information as a means of combating fraud, according to the Post.The IRS has some pretty legacy infrastructure. It's actually very similar to what banks have been using. It's old mainframes running COBOL and Assembly and the challenge has been, how do we migrate that to a modern system? Corcos told Ingraham in the same Fox News interview. Corcos said he plans to continue his work at IRS for a total of six months.DOGE has already slashed and burned modernization projects at other agencies, replacing them with smaller teams and tighter timelines. At the Social Security Administration, DOGE representatives are planning to move all of the agencys data off of legacy programming languages like COBOL and into something like Java, WIRED reported last week.

In BriefPosted:1:14 PM PDT April 5, 2025Image Credits:Andrew Harnik / Getty ImagesDOGE reportedly planning a hackathon to build mega API for IRS dataElon Musks Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) plans to host a hackathon next week focused on the creation of a mega API that will provide access to taxpayer data, according to Wired.Wired says the hackathon is being organized by two DOGE staffers at the Internal Revenue Service Gavin Kliger and Sam Corcos, whos also CEO at healthtech startup Levels. Corcos has reportedly been telling others at DOGE that his goal is to build one new API to rule them all.This would make it easy for cloud providers to access IRS data including taxpayer names, addresses, social security numbers, tax returns, and employment information, which could all be exported to external systems. According to Wired, a third-party party vendor would manage parts of the project, with Palantir consistently brought up as a candidate.Its basically an open door controlled by Musk for all Americans most sensitive information with none of the rules that normally secure that data, an anonymous IRS worker reportedly told Wired.Topics

Microscopic view of mitochondriaoften called the "powerhouses of the cell." Emerging science shows ... More their critical role in brain function, stress response, and mental health.gettyTheres a quiet revolution underway in psychiatryone that doesnt start and end with a prescription pad. On a recent episode of the Huberman Lab podcast, Harvard psychiatrist and researcher Dr. Chris Palmer made a compelling case that may reshape the current understanding of mental illness. The common thread is something we all learned about in high school biology: its about mitochondria (and mental health).As it turns out, mitochondria aka the powerhouse of the cell do more than just churn out energy. They regulate brain function, stress responses, hormones, and inflammation. And when they fail, mental health problems can emerge. Here are 12 powerful insights from the conversation that just might change how we think about mental health.1. Mental Illness Begins in the MitochondriaPsychiatric symptoms may stem from impaired cellular energy production. Neurons rely heavily on ATP the energy molecule produced by mitochondria to fire, repair and communicate. When energy is low, the brain cant perform at full capacity. This can lead to emotional and cognitive symptoms. Multiple studies like this one have identified mitochondrial dysfunction in depression, bipolar disorder, and schizophrenia, suggesting that energy failure may be a unifying pathway in many psychiatric conditions.2. Metabolic Health = Mental HealthTheres a strong overlap between metabolic disorders and mental illness. Conditions like insulin resistance, obesity, and cardiovascular disease are linked to higher rates of depression, anxiety, and cognitive decline. Its no coincidencethe systems that regulate blood sugar, inflammation and energy also impact the brain.A recent study in the Journal of Affective Disorders found that individuals with metabolic syndrome were 1.3 to 1.5 times more likely to suffer from depression, reinforcing that the brain is deeply tied to the bodys metabolic machinery specifically the mitochondria.3. Adverse Childhood Experiences Worsen The Function Of Mitochondria And Mental HealthTrauma is more than emotional baggage it can change biology. Individuals with six or more Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) live, on average, 20 years less than peers. Chronic stress harms the mitochondria, drives inflammation, and alters gene expression, accelerating aging and disease.A study published in PNAS examined the impact of childhood maltreatment on mitochondrial bioenergetics. Researchers found that mothers with a history of childhood maltreatment exhibited increased mitochondrial respiration and density in their peripheral blood mononuclear cells suggesting early life stress can lead to lasting changes in mitochondrial function.4. We Need to Stop Siloing Mental HealthMental health care has historically operated in disconnected domains: psychology, biology, and social support. Each of these tend to be treated as separate lanes. Yet these boundaries are blurring. Emotions, physical health, trauma history, and environment interact. Any effective approach must integrate all three because mental illness is not just a psychological phenomenon. Its about the linkage between biology, relationships and lifestyle.5. Improving Lifestyle Through Wellness Habits Is FoundationalSix lifestyle pillars nutrition, exercise, sleep, stress management, avoiding substances and social connection are powerful tools for brain health. These habits can restore mitochondrial function and even reverse the course of some psychiatric conditions. A landmark randomized controlled study, the SMILES trial, found that intense nutritional counseling led to significant improvement in depressive symptoms compared to usual care, highlighting how dietary patterns can directly affect mood.6. Exercise Builds Better Brain Cells, Improving Mitochondria And Mental HealthRegular physical activity increases both the number and efficiency of mitochondrianot just in muscle, but also in the brain. That translates into more energy, sharper cognition, better mood, and improved stress tolerance. This is one reason why elite endurance athletes may not look physically imposing, but their muscle (and brain) tissue is packed with high-functioning mitochondria.Regular moderate-intensity Zone 2 exercise for 150 to 300 minutes per week might not seem like a mental health treatment but it may be for some people.7. Nutrition Is Powerful For Both Mitochondria And Mental HealthThink less about specific superfoods and trendy supplements. Its not just about eating more blueberries. What matters most is the overall dietary pattern. Diets high in refined carbs and ultra-processed foods disrupt metabolism and brain function. The principle is simple: food is information and your brain is always listening.8. Substance Use Ravages Mitochondria And Mental HealthAlcohol, stimulants, and tobacco all impair mitochondrial functionsometimes permanently. They increase the production of toxic byproducts, which damage cells and contribute to inflammation and oxidative stress. Over time, this can lead to emotional volatility, cognitive decline, and metabolic dysfunction. Even low doses arent necessarily harmless, especially if used chronically.9. Serotonin Isnt the Whole StoryThe old model of depression being solely a chemical imbalance usually involving serotonin is not entirely complete. Antidepressants dont simply replace whats missing. Instead, they alter how brain circuits fire, often by modulating metabolism and creating an environment may supports change. They can be helpful and sometimes life-saving. Yet theyre part of the picture not the whole solution.10. Mitochondria Power the Stress ResponseThe human stress response involves four key systems: cortisol, adrenaline, inflammation and gene expression. Mitochondria are involved in all four. They help turn stress on and off. When theyre healthy, we adapt and recover. When theyre damaged or depleted, we get stuck in survival mode, unable to return to baseline. Resilience, in this view, can be seen a function of cellular energy.11. Mental Health Interventions Need To Be PersonalizedSome people need therapy. Others need medication. Yet also some need changes in sleep, diet, and exercise. There is no universal prescriptiononly individual patterns of biology and behavior. The best care is flexible, layered and tailored. Treatment should not solely ask whether someone should be on meds or not. Rather it is address asks what combination of tools will unlock healing.12. We May Be Due for a Paradigm ShiftMental health care is finally starting to address the fact that the brain is a part of the body and its disorders are systemic. With a better understanding how metabolism, mitochondria, and lifestyle interact, clinicians may be able to prevent, reverse or radically rethink conditions once seen as lifelong. The future of psychiatry may be as much about biology as it is about talk therapy. A key component is what people eat, how they sleep, and how often they exercise.Ultimately, mental health isnt just about thoughts and feelings. Its about the biology that powers them. While health systems may take time to catch up, individualsand forward-thinking clinicianscan start applying the science of mitochondria and mental health. Because healing the mind may begin with something as simple as moving more, eating better, and sleeping well.

Rumor mill: Over a month after launching the RTX 5070 and 5070 Ti, Nvidia remains silent regarding its upcoming next generation of budget-tier graphics cards. Most of the technical specs have leaked amid rumors of delays, but pricing and release dates remain unclear. Even less is known about the competition from AMD. A tipster on Board Channels claims that Nvidia plans to launch the RTX 5060 Ti on April 16, aligning with prior rumors indicating a mid-April debut. The 8 GB and 16 GB variants might carry the same price tags as the 4060 Ti, $400 and $500.Additionally, new listings for pre-built desktops featuring the RTX 5060 and 5060 Ti support the claims and retail with minimal price hikes over their 4060 and 4060 Ti equivalents. The tipster stated that Nvidia is pursuing aggressive pricing, likely to get ahead of AMD's upcoming Radeon RX 9060 and 9060 XT GPUs.The new desktop listings briefly appeared on Best Buy and remain visible on Newegg. Stormcraft's cheapest RTX 50 series model, featuring an unspecified 5060 Ti variant for $1,299, is the same price as one of the company's 4060-equipped systems and only $100-$150 more expensive than other models. It features a Core i5-14400F CPU on a B760 motherboard and 32 GB of 6,000 MHz DDR5 RAM. Best Buy's cheapest unit from CyberPowerPC, now removed, includes a standard 5060, a Ryzen 7 8700F, 16GB of memory, and a 2TB SSD for $1,149.Prior reports indicated that the RTX 5060 and 5060 Ti will feature only a few hundred more CUDA cores than their predecessors, indicating similar or slightly better performance. The two GPUs include 28 Gbps GDDR7 VRAM on a 128-bit bus and 448 GB/s of memory bandwidth. The 5060 Ti features 4,608 cores, a 180W TGP, and clocks between 2,407 and 2,572 MHz less than 100 MHz more than the 4060 Ti. The standard 5060 has only 8 GB of VRAM, 3,840 cores, and draws 150W, but its clock speeds remain unknown. Nvidia might launch the cheaper variant in May.AMD has only confirmed a Q2 2025 release window for the RX 9060 and 9060 XT. They should include GDDR6 VRAM pools identical to their Nvidia equivalents, but we know little else about their specs. // Related StoriesTeam Red's recently released mid-range RX 9070 and 9070 XT compare favorably to Nvidia's RTX 5070 and 5070 Ti, suggesting that competition in the mainstream segment could be fierce. That said, they might arrive just in time for recently announced US tariffs to throw the entire industry into uncharted waters.
