USA:n tullit Suomessa

- US tariffs in Finland

Ensin aiheena on talous.

-First, the topic is economy

USA ilmoitti tällä viikolla, että eurooppalaisille tuotteille tulee 20 prosentin tullimaksu.

-The US announced this week that it will impose a 20 procent tariff on European products.

Poliitikot ja asiantuntijat sanovat, että tullit ovat Suomen taloudelle huono asia. Suomesta viedään paljon tuotteita USA:han.

- Politicians and experts say that tariffs are bad for Finnish economy. Finland exports a lot of products to the US.

Suomalainen firma Planmeca tekee lääketieteellisiä laitteita. USA on firmalle tärkeä vientimaa. Varatoimitusjohtaja Jouko Nykänen:

- Finnish company Planmeca makes medical devices. The US is an important export market for the company. Deputy CEO Jouko Nykänen:

Edustaa meidän liikevaihdossa reilua 20 prosenttia. Eli merkitys on edelleen hyvin suuri.

liikevaihto - turnover, reilu - fair; considerable

- It represents a significant 20 percent of our turnover. So the significance is still very high.

USA:n määräämät tullit ovat Suomen taloudelle huono asia. Ministerit sanovat, että tulleista neuvotellaan vielä USA:n kanssa.

 määrätä - to impose, to determine

- The tariffs imposed by the US are bad for Finnish economy. Ministers say that tariffs are still being negotiated with the US.

Kuntavaalit ja kulttuuri

-Municipal elections and culture

Nyt kulttuuria.

-Now culture.

Kuntavaalien tuloksella on iso merkitys kulttuurille.

- The result of the municipal elections has great significance for culture.

Valtio tukee kulttuuria vähemmän kuin aikaisemmin. Myös kunnilla on vain vähän rahaa. Kunnanvaltuustot päättävät, paljonko kunta antaa rahaa kulttuurille ja taiteelle. Esimerkiksi kirjastot tarvitsevat rahaa.

tukea - to support

- The state supports culture less than before. Also, municipalities have little money. Municipal councils decide how much money the municipal gives to cultures and the arts. For instance, libraries need money.

Kuntaliiton asiantuntija Johanna Selkee:

- Johanna Selkee, expert from the Association of Local and Regional Authorities

Valtio tekee kulttuuriin isojakin säästöjä ja kuntien talous ei myöskään ole hyvällä tolalla. Kulttuurista on todella tärkeä keskustella vaalikeskusteluissa.

tola - state -> tolalla - in a state of

- The state is making big savings on culture, and the finances of municipalities are not in a good state either. It is really important to discuss culture in election debates.

Kuntavaalien tuloksella on iso merkitys kulttuurille. Kuntavaalit ovat 13. huhtikuuta. Samalla järjestetään myös aluevaalit.

- The results of the municipal elections have a major impact on culture. The municipal elections are on April 13. Regional elections will also be held at the same time.

Heikot jäät

- weak ice

Seuraava aihe on jää.

- The next topic is ice.

Jäällä pitää nyt olla varovainen. Etelä-Suomessa monen järven jää on jo lähtenyt. Merellä jää voi olla heikkoa. Jos aurinko paistaa, jää heikkenee päivän aikana nopeasti. Jäässä voi myös olla reikiä.

heikentyä - to weaken

- You have to be careful on the ice now. The ice on many lakes in southern Finland has already broken up. The ice on the sea can be weak. If the sun is shining, the ice will weaken quickly during the day. There may also be holes in the ice.

Pohjois-Suomessa jää on vielä paksua.

- The ice in northen Finland is still thick.

Jäällä pitää nyt olla varovainen. Jää ehkä näyttää paksulta, mutta ihminen voi silti pudota jäihin.

- You have to be careful on the ice now. The ice may look thick, but a person can still fall into it.

@ModelAttribute vs @RequestBody in Validation

-
Image
1. What is @ModelAttribute? What does it do? @ModelAttribute is primarily used to bind request data like HTML form data or query parameters (e.g., ?name=abc&price=100) to objects. In other words, it converts data entered by users in forms into objects that can be easily handled by controllers. How does it work? It maps HTTP request parameters (e.g., name, price) individually to object properties on a field-by-field basis. For example, if an ItemSaveForm object has name and price fields, request parameters name="book" and price=1000 would be set as itemSaveForm.setName("book"), itemSaveForm.setPrice(1000). Important characteristic : Even if there's a problem with one field (e.g., price has an invalid value like "abc" that can't be converted to a number), the other fields (e.g., name) are still bound normally. It has a structure that can partially succeed. Advantages: Flexibility: Since it processes on a field-by-field basis, even if certain fiel...

Side Project(a self-imposed 3-day "Hackathon" challenge)

-
Excited to share my side project(a self-imposed 3-day "Hackathon" challenge! 🤣) built with React, TypeScript, Node.js, and Express.js! I created this app for my wife to help her study Korean, using a custom CSV dataset I generated with Grok 3. Right now, she’s using it locally on her laptop, and it’s been a great tool for her learning journey. If you’re interested in learning Korean in English, I think this could be a helpful resource! Check out the GitHub repository here: https://github.com/bitcham/Korean?tab=readme-ov-file Open to feedback! Let me know what you think.

Google: The King is Back

-
When OpenAI released ChatGPT, many believed Google had been dethroned from its position as the king of AI. However, without much fanfare, Google has been steadily driving innovation in artificial intelligence. Not just in models, but also in features and practical applications. As the giant behind platforms like Google Maps, YouTube, and Google Search, Google is now shining brightly in the realm of multimodal AI generation. In this post, I’d like to dive into Google’s recent AI advancements, spotlighting Gemini 2.0, Gemma 3, and the exciting features of the Gemini App. Gemini 2.0: Mastering Image Manipulation and Generation Gemini 2.0 is a powerhouse AI model that takes image manipulation and generation to the next level. It can effortlessly edit and enhance photos by removing unwanted objects, reshaping elements, or even creating realistic passport photos from existing images. This impressive capability stems from Google’s use of Tensor Processing Units (TPUs), which optimize learni...
