the universe doesn't calculate anything. it just happens.

this is also why I think that artificial consciousness (big difference to intelligence) is a whole lot harder than many people think. a stack of papers where someone has manually written the neural net (or whatever technology) computation and results is unlikely to have a subjective experience. because there is an indirection between a simulation and the real world. the simulation is a computation. the real world happens.

Every time I see explanations about jet engines, I have the same basic question that never seems to get addressed. I think I know what the answer, but anyhow: why do the exhaust gases flow in the direction that we want? What prevents them from exiting from the intake?
It's not necessarily real time, you only experience time at the same rate, no matter how fast the universe is calculating in meta time. Or maybe time is a 4th spacial dimension, then the universe would be a finished, static thing, no more calculations needed (you would experience time in the sense that characters in a movie experience time, even though the film roll already contains all the frames)
It is not a threat to individual safety. It is a threat to the security of the nation at large.
This comment doesn't seem to understand what the parent was saying or engage with their argument at all?

1. No it's not fine that American companies are threats to privacy and so on, and it should be dealt with.

2. However TikTok is a special case in that in addition to the above, it presents a national security risk (to the Americans), so it's reasonable to treat it differently and with more urgency.
Ahhh, nice. Free market, healthy competition.

This reminds me of these concepts

Do you have examples of this?

China's big players from what I have seen have incompetent at even just advertising in the west.
I remember reading an American study that went into this around the time these alerts around foreign misinformation started to get big.
Turns out Russia is pretty damn good at it. The bit China tries is small and again incompetent (An example given was at small scale shelling out to buy popular content accounts and suddenly turning them from a volkswagen beetle account into a full on propaganda account only to get instabanned) and there's somehow a lot more anti china bots on twitter than pro.
Having no horse in either place i'm not particularly outraged about the attempts especially considering the US does similar more effectively.

Do you want to participate?

For me the answer is simple: the most important point is that the man is ending human lives. So, he should be charged with murder and it doesn't matter what else he's doing in parallel.

I can be confident about that because we (humans) have not been given knowledge of what the soul or consciousness is. If we had, then people would have figured out how to stop death long ago -- probably during the same era when those huge pyramids and earthworks went up.

No, I don't believe modern technology has progressed beyond the ancient tech that was lost (in linear terms). If it had, we would be able to repeat those feats of geo-engineering (or at least understand their function).

So, any talk about moving the soul here or there is just a scam.
Why should it stop, as long as nations continue to pose threats to each other and their populations? I support both the US and the EU putting these restrictions in place (until such a time when everyone can be trusted, if ever).
I haven't seen that happen in China either. How do you know it actually happened and wasn't some other rumour spread (since there's a plethora of disinformation both for and against the Chinese government)?

To be clear, I'm not in favour of the Chinese regime but your particular point does still require a citation.
In Ukraine we are building combat drones and UAVs. Lots of these startups around the country and some will successfully monetize after the war, especially given track of success on the battlefield.
Application development looks remarkably doable: https://programmingwithstyle.com/posts/howihackedmycarpart3/

> The reason that systems of economic sanctions exist is to provide alternatives to war

I am not talking about this. I am talking about the fact that it is an oligarchy who chooses whether we go to war or not. I do not think most spanish think that Spain should be involved in a war that is at the other side of Europe where either of those country did anything to us. This is what I mean.

These wars respond to oligarchies interests, not to normal citizens interests.

I do not know if you get my point. Maybe there are real problems in Ukraine, well there are. But how is that really a reason to involve Spain? Why? Diplomacy, yes, sending weapons no. What if Russia decides we are in a black list later? Were we able to make a choice? Bc this involves our security and our economy and affects normal citizens.

So there is necessarily someone interested in this that is not normal, average people like me.
The paradox is that automation didn't render us jobless.
The argument seems to be that modern-day REST is not self-descriptive, but... making it so is a lot of extra work for little benefits; people have optimized for efficiency and focus on what they need.

The links in a JSON response are only applicable if you need a client to be able to explore from the response on, but in practice it's not necessary and you're better off saving the response overhead.

A high over design like an OpenAPI spec is better in all the cases I've seen. And of course there's alternatives like GraphQL or grpc depending on the use case. I'd still prefer REST for public APIs though.
Seems not true. I worked in mobile security. We had massive amounts of data about mobile apps and the suspected behaviour they show (via dynamic analysis, static analysis, code signatures, etc)
We saw a huge amount of Ad SDKs showing all kinds of malicious behaviour. Facebook etc were the worse, TikTok was not particularly exceptional.
One of the biggest problem for an anti malware product in that space is that most "legitimate" software looked indistinguishable from spywares. And if we were to mark these as malware then our product won't be usable.

These apps are hoovering crazy amount of information. They should be banned, universally. No matter which country they originate at. Giving politicians this kind of power over the population in a democratic society is a huge national security risk. No less than a foreign power having these capabilities.
> What happen when your model ends up in production ? It will start affecting the behaviour of the very thing you're trying to predict

Indeed, again part of the reasons I think MLOps is a problem. One ideally needs a causal theory and rational expectations regarding how and why a model will work: you should be able to explain it. The reason is that there are many more ways for things to look like they work, then ways for them to actually work. Forcing -- what should be -- the scientific effort of modelling into a cut box, tune, re-train, monitor workflow is reductionist and will invariably make it near impossible to exercise proper due diligence IMO.

Scientific discovery is generally not a sausage machine -- its messy and dependent on what happens in brains more than anything else. I think its a fools errand to expect differently from -- what should be -- the same abstract tool box applied to commerce.
Agreed, these complaints about hypocrisy are nonsensical. If a serial killer locks his door at night for fear of being murdered, he’s not a hypocrite. On the contrary, his evil deeds have made him wise to the dangers of the night.

Just out of interest, how do you mean used experimental vaccines on you? Is this something you opted in to?
Maybe the governments should force mobile OS to provide absolute zero information about anything to apps. If the apps can't get anything they can't leak anything.
Do you understand that your own government has even more power over you than a foreign one? It's in your best interest that no government collects this kind of data about you.
But the French love bread. It's served with every meal. They even nationally legislate it's price.
> so I want USA to do whatever it needs to be the top player

I would argue that admitting that the only way to convince Chinese apps to not track American users is to ban them (mostly because it's eating their own dog food with TikTok that's nowadays much more popular than America's own spying apps) doesn't sound much top dog, more like small dog barking at the big one.

So is it genetic or dietary?
Part of me wishes XML was still in vogue, it and related technologies solved a lot of problems that alternatives like JSON and YAML are still trying to solve.

I mean the last thing I heard from XML was EXI, a new way to transfer XML documents; instead of encoding it into an ASCII representation and gzipping it, it instead (iirc) turns an XML document into a binary representation or stream containing events similar to SAX as mentioned in this article. That could then be reshuffled and compressed for further efficiency. It was a way to improve transfer performance by a lot at the cost of human readability on the line, but, nobody should read XML documents on the line and they would probably use a client (that understands EXI) anyway.
Same goes for Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp and all other Meta products.
I am probably being naive, but I'd like to see the banning of TikTok as a precedence case for the banning of other abusive networks in the future, whatever country they may operate from.
To be fair, tech hiring is rather credentialized in general these days. Even help desk and cable-runner jobs are requiring 4 year degrees.
I really want to believe in this, but from personal experience it hasn't worked out. I used to spend a lot of time posting frequently on LinkedIn, nothing came out of it. Maybe I didn't try hard enough, maybe there's survivor bias in the success stories, who knows.
Your beef is with Vladimir Putin, not some nameless "oligarchy." As was pointed out to you, Europe has learned some hard lessons about the consequences of appeasement. The mistakes made in the 1930s must not be repeated with Russia today.

If you find this truth to be offensive, tragic, or overly inconvenient, well... so do all who live to see such times, as the guy with the long gray beard said.
I am not for or against russians or ukranians. Think whatever but in a war you are going to see many disgusting things from both sides. It is like that.

I declare myself neutral and the last thing I wanted is my country to be involved in this stuff (and others).

Of course, at the same time I think that Russian invasion was stupid and a mistake. This is a power game and nothing else. I just want to live normal, not to get into unnecessary trouble. Diplomacy would have been better. And if diplomacy does not work, I do not know why Spain should be further involved. I can understand that countries close such as Latvia, Finland, Poland, etc. take a non-neutral position on this. But Spain? Seriously...
Seriously, you equate banning TikTok to being a racist or an antisemite?

So that careless drivers running both FSD and PC games at the same time can cause even more chaos and accidents that FSD has already done? Another distraction that diverts attention on a car that lacks proper driver monitoring already?

No thanks, and no deal and a very bad idea.
Why would you need the crypto then?
Ofcom are slowly getting their teeth back with upcoming regulation (3 decades late IMO), but in answer to "what would we really lose?", we'd likely suffer immediate tit-for-tat responses from the US if we attempted to meaningfully regulate or partition our media from theirs again.

I don't think anyone who has spent much time thinking about it sees the Russia/China/Iran firewalls as a bad thing, but we aren't them and we can't regulate our media in the same way.
I am not talking about that. I agree with you about that. I have a good Ukranian friend also, even I visited his home some months back (in Spain). The topic is why everyone gets involved in things that are far and foreign to them.
Very unlikely to be accurate. If it was, TikTok wouldn't be on the app stores.

* Browsing history: If a user uses a WebView in your app, you can obtain the history of* that WebView instance.

Xiaomi phones let applications have access to the first (100?) bytes of each pcap line. [note: this is probably unintended, but their bug bounty programme didn't care].

* Keystroke patterns: You can track user keystrokes within your app. If you're a keyboard or accessibility provider, you can access keystrokes globally. I haven't used TikTok, but it's very unlikely that they do either of these, the UX to enable them is not pleasant because they're dangerous actions to take.

* Biometric identifiers: If a user takes a selfie, you have their iris/fingerprint/faceprint

I've spent a bit of time in Sicily, Italy and Sardinia. I agree with what you're saying, but I bet the locals eat less meat and better quality meat than the average American. They're also active and outside a lot.
My concern seems to be different than that of most expressed here. Companies collecting too much information is a problem, sure, but that's not what deeply worries me when it comes to social media generating/consuming platforms like Facebook, TikTok and YouTube. Especially those that algorithmically decide what to show users.

Foreign countries controlling what information a coming generation is exposed to is IMO much more concerning than collecting and profiling (of course also troubling, but a slightly different league). There is little oversight into what bubbles are formed, who is fed what, etc.

Want to create division in a foreign country? What better place to start than on social media and malleable kids.

This applies equally to TikTok as Facebook, for different reasons. I don't trust TikTok because of CCP, and Facebook because everything is for sale.
> If you can use anything else you should do so.

Honestly, for my personal needs I just use the smaller hosts: Scaleway, Hetzner, maybe DigitalOcean or Vultr. Actually right now I'm using Time4VPS (a regional host) because of some nice yearly discounts. I choose Debian/Ubuntu LTS and install Docker or another OCI runtime and run containers inside of Docker Swarm or Kubernetes (K3s), with something like Portainer or Rancher for graphical management.

So in a way, I'm building my own PaaS solution (well, more like launching existing turnkey solutions with minimal to no customization), since I just don't care about getting vendor locked.

For example, managed databases are cool, but a PostgreSQL/MariaDB container is pretty close (for my needs) anyways. Fancy load balancers are awesome as well, but most of the time I need little more than Caddy/Nginx/Apache to act as my ingress with Let's Encrypt (DNS-01 challenge or cert directory shared over NFS or soemthing). Updates? Just bump a tag after backup, validate if works, restore if doesn't. Crashes? Automatic health checks and restarts, or maybe notifications to my Mattermost instance/e-mail if I'm feeling fancy.

And if I want to migrate elsewhere, I just carry over the bind mount directory, launch the containers with same config there and update DNS records, monitoring, backup config. That's it.

That said, self-hosting most of your stuff is great, but lots of people rightfully don't care and don't want to bother gaining that skillset, which is perfectly fine. Use whatever works for you, even managed Kubernetes is a good step to avoid vendor lock if you use containers. Or, you know, use whatever your corporate dayjob setting mandates.
Because it's a cyclic argument that only leads to hostilities. Of course I'm not advocating that if we stop collecting data everyone will suddenly play nice. But that doesn't mean it isn't extraordinarily hypocritical to moan about China and the EU placing restrictions on US companies (as is a frequent gripe on HN) while simultaneously placing restrictions on China and EU firms too.

We need to learn to find a saner middle ground if we're ever to advance as a species.

B) moving around all day is generally better than sitting still
C) starting out with the right genes is a pretty good call
D) keeping yourself lean until old age (and then a little fatter) is another pretty good call.
