This is my post from another thread. I've read that ByteDance benefits from CCP support. To me, it's the exact opposite. The CCP is hindering ByteDance more than it helps.

Original Post:https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40131978

Do you have solid evidence that ByteDance receives important benefits from CCP? It seems to me that it's the opposite of what you wrote and that the CCP is making it much harder for ByteDance to do business and dominate. If I'm ByteDance, I'd rather have the CCP distance itself from me and not interfere with anything. That'd help more.

To me, all governments protect their own big industries. You don't think Meta has lobbyists behind the bill? You don't think Microsoft does - whom has made it clear that they're interesting in buying TikTok - as well?

The Huawei ban hugely benefited Apple, Cisco, and Samsung. But the Huawei ban also fired up China. After 5 years, Huawei is now making a huge comeback but this time, without dependencies on crucial American technology. Look at the reports of Huawei sales and Apple's decline in sales in China in Q1 2024.

China will now compete against America's semiconductor industry - instead of being buyers. The world also sees lesser of the US because of the Huawei ban. Now even some European countries are weary of relying too much on America.

So while the Huawei ban did initially boost American companies, the damage is everlasting and America can't deny that it's now in a protectionist state. You can fool the public through propaganda (such as "China bad") but not governments around the world.

I'm one of the authors on the paper. Actually, sentence-by-sentence translation is important in a machine translation system because in many cases users will only provide single sentences. We also test document-level translation in Section 5, and find large improvements (but it isn't the focus of our paper).
> "Beyond the Iron Curtain" technology companies

Yugoslavia really wasn't beyond the Iron Curtain. After the Tito-Stalin split in 1948 it was "unaligned", still communist but sitting on two chairs. Lots of technology from the West was imported, even our sole nuclear power-plant was built by Westinghouse in the 80's. Sure, there was also lots of technology from the Eastern bloc (especially East Germany) and attempts to build things domestically. It was a weird mix.
> I'm much happier watching robots take over dangerous, mundane tasks, than seeing them edge into creative, intellectual, and decision-making work.

I used to think this way, and to an extent I still do, but the reality is that not everybody wants to do intellectual work or decision making as a day job. Some people prefer to do labour, or to have their work relatively unchanging. I know smart and intellectually capable people who have said they like the fact that they don't need to think that much in their day jobs.

(Those preferences are of course a spectrum, as are jobs.)

For lots of us, automating away the mundane work is a dream, but at the same time the development puts pressure on those who don't find it desirable. One person's dream is stressful to another.
Strangely, I have a feeling of deja vu, hearing of San Seriffe.
The sale of personal data is a lucrative sideband business for many companies. They discovered this asset, and they’re monetizing it. It’s akin to finding oil on your ranch.

The solution is to turn that asset into a liability. Add unlimited downside (corporate death) for a company that loses control of personal data that they’ve harvested. Turn that oil into radioactive. waste.

Awesome work Nate!!!

I’ve been following your work ever since that Lightning talk on Three.js at the Carolina Code Conference. You’ve got a lot of talent and motivation, which is a killer combination.
This won't directly answer the question, but just to give some added context: Note that in abstract mathematics (which is what Conway was doing here) you’re kinda creating building blocks, and you're kinda playing for “street cred” among the rest of the abstract mathematics community.

This is kind of true in all academic publishing, that your success is due to your publications’ ability to inspire follow-up publications. But for abstract mathematics the “street cred” follows three rules: you get more cred based on,

• the wimpier the building blocks look

• the larger and more complex the structures you can build with them

• the more memorable or intuitive the blocks are (so like marketing... SK-calculus is the same as lambda calculus but lambda can say “I am the abstract mathematics of template substitution!” while SK-calculus can't, directly.)

All a way to say that the field is full of “fun little toys” and the key about criterion (2) is that we have figured out how to build structures of arbitrary complexity in Life, because we have discovered it is Turing-complete. It therefore is also NP-hard and a lot of other good stuff. Really revitalized work into cellular automata by giving some good marketing, which led to Stephen Wolfram's success etc etc.
This was a lesson I learned when running my first business. My default answer to any request is "no", then I need to be persuaded (by myself or others) as to why I should change my mind.

My favorite business book put it very succinctly and correctly (in my experience): You don't go broke by saying 'no'. You go broke by saying 'yes'.

> Cooking classes, volunteering, sport clubs, the gym, group travel, boardgames, photography classes, dancing lessons, language classes, concerts, movie clubs, hiking groups, etc. etc.

I think the specific activity is less important than whether it's done by a community or not. That's especially true if you're the kind of person who has trouble connecting quickly with new people.

Some of those things (e.g. volunteering, gyms) can turn out to be relatively solo activities or have a lot of people treating them as such.

> Of course, you wouldn't attend those with the explicit goal of finding someone special. I'd argue that the other way around is much healthier: go out there, explore activities that mesh with who you are, or get you a bit out of your comfort zone, and you'll likely meet new people who might just surprise you.

I agree with that broadly, but I think if "finding someone" is on your list of priorities, you should try to gravitate to things with a larger group or a just-right amount of churn.
Good question. In fact this is an issue on ALL electric cars, as they tend to be much heavier, which is directly correlated with tyre wear.

That said, wear can be substantially mitigated by how the tyres are designed and manufactured, particularly the tread compounds. But, long-wearing compounds are generally inversely correlated with grip, so there is a balance to be found there.

There is also the fact that manufactured seem to absolutely not GAF about weight anymore, even on internal-combustion cars, so the ICE-vs-EV weight difference may be narrowing.

But yes, tires for heavier cars are more expensive by themselves, and ceteris paribus, wear faster, so can definitely be a significant expense factor over the 5-10 year terms in this article and discussion.

Good - they're the ones hiring, they're the ones taking on risk, it's their money they're spending. It should be up to them whether a particular criminal history is relevant to the job.

Have you followed the https://codegolf.stackexchange.com/questions/11880/build-a-w... thread where Tetris was implemented using their Cogol (and low level QFTASM) programming language? I'm curious if that work led to any new insights and if it found any usage beyond implementing Tetris.
Network API contracts/documentation are just an attempt of type safety over the untyped network boundary.

Network communications are the most tedious and annoying part of programming for me because of the validation of the request body and checking that it has all the fields needed.

Microservices only increase the amount of documentation needed. I would prefer to lessen the amount of documentation by letting the compiler/code do the work instead.
> Why would I, as a potential hardware maker, wish to compete in a market where the existing main producer is a mega wealthy entity that is already dumping product below cost and is capable of doing so indefinitely?

Because you want to expand your market.

Let's say you are Pimax or Bigscreen Beyond and want to target users who don't have large gaming PC's - this is an obvious option for them.
It sucks that there really are not any alternatives, particularly for gay men. Other apps exist but really those 2 dominate except for a couple of niche areas.

It is interesting though, even if the company itself wasn't doing it a third party could mine for a lot of data as well. So I don't really know what the solution here is.

That being said it is incredibly frustrating that yet again, paying to be premium and remove ads does nothing about the privacy issue.

I dunno. None of those activities mesh with me. I went on a dating site and over the course of about a year found a couple other girls to watch movies and have sleepovers with. We all work and don't have hobbies like those, so we would not have run into each other.

My favorite group activity is sleeping together with lesbians.

> One or two each day are fine, but too many can cause burnout.

Maybe I'm also neurospicy, but I fully don't understand people who go on vacation to get up at 7am, and pack their day full of activities.

When I travel, with my wife or solo, we each pick one thing per day, and the rest we leave open to serendipity - or honestly, just sitting in the hotel room and reading a book. Otherwise, it gets wildly overwhelming.
Businesses get told what to do all the time, that's not necessarily a bad thing. But businesses have a right to choose how they spend their money and who their employees are.

I tried to explain my opinion in my previous comment.

In the case of Mars, the gap between getting there and staying there is much, much smaller than in the case of Earth orbit or even the Moon. It is just too far for Earth to be of any help. Whatever goes wrong, the astronauts will have to solve on their own. Which means that they must be prepared for a very wide spectrum of adverse events.

This is a good fundament for a very resilient settlement - out of need.

It's even easier now to just ask for a number than before the pandemic. The median person seems to have ditched dating apps around that time.

Even the stock price of Match Group reflects that. They were in moderate use before and then had a few good years during before falling off a cliff. People who had, up until that point, not bothered trying to use these apps gave them a shot and then ran away.

It's never been all that difficult to ask someone out anyway. Discovery of new people got easier when things opened back up. People now make it a point to go out when they didn't before.

Expo was amazing for my first foray into React Native (https://github.com/bennyschmidt/daily-tarot)

> all or atleast majority of file upload and sharing services either show ads or have download speed limited at 1 MBps

That's just not true.

filebin.net, send.vis.ee, pixeldrain.com, google drive (no ads or 1MBps limits afaik), filemail.com, gofile.io, filetransfer.io, sprend.com

I can keep going, all of these also have higher file size limits than yours, and doesn't have your file type restrictions.
It's not curtailing opportunities. I get probably 2 dates a year out of all the apps combined. The swipe right to match ratio is probably 0.5% or less. Asking someone for their number/date in RL is probably closer to 50%, at least for me.

Without coming off sexist, it seems very apparent that a lot of women just use these apps for some attention and have no intention of actually meeting up. Ymmv.
It's a fair comment in response to your "You get restricted to the bar/party scene" comment, which is a pretty significant overstatement.

> You get restricted to the bar/party scene

Or meeting people through work (though I wouldn't recommend that one generally on the basis of “don't shit where you eat”, I've seen it work for others).

Or through hobbies (I know a few people who have found partners in the trail running community, for instance).

Or just being happy single. Or, at least, no less happy than you feel you'd be with a partner. Take it from me, someone who is content to be an honorary mad cat lady, it can be a decent life.

Many don't seem able to accept that life can be fulfilling this way, and every now & than they try to fix me by trying to nag me into the dating game. I'm not against dating, or finding a partner, I just don't care for it enough to make much effort, I'm not willing to lie about that or pretend to be someone I'm not more generally, and I doubt potential partners will find that very appealing!

Many don't seem able to accept that life can be fulfilling this way, and feel like lesser people because they are single, which is possibly why people often assume my PoV is something I'm pretending about. And some just want the physical side of things, and see dating/relationships as a gateway to that, and they again see me as odd (or lying) when I say I can happily live without it.
Many/most cities will red tag your house (aka condemn as uninhabitable) if you don’t have an active grid connection.

Which does make sense in a way - they can’t tell if whatever your off grid setup is actually is working or has adequate capacity, but they can tell if your local utility connection is working and up (and up to standards).

And renters have needs. And medical equipment, basic fire safety stuff/lights, heat, etc. are generally required for habitability.

Almost every panel should have breakers that can be tripped to manually disconnect the feed from the utility though, if you don’t want to have to worry about being charged for electricity (beyond ‘grid connection’ fees, which aren’t going away).
It's very embarrassing to admit attraction to someone in person. On a dating site you're trusting the site to be the friend who says "Hey you two both like each other".
I want all local, future proofish things. A pdf library and a heap of markdown notes. Windows, once prepared, gives me a local search engine of contents and metadata queried via Flow Launcher. I use a custom protocol handler to have file URIs relative to a configurable basis (so URIs remain valid if synched elsewhere). Use files of URL extension that are text files but intepreted by Explorer as symbolic links (being text makes them play well with sync), so the same file can appear in many places of the file tree hierarchy (ground organizational principle).

Now that djvu JBIG2 patents expired I jotted a script from parts to convert djvu to pdfs much better than earlier alternatives (with converted file size swolled a typical mild 66% more than djvu). I read pdfs with sumatra that has customizable external "viewers", that means invoking stuff on the pdf page with alt_f + key. One "viewer" copies a link to the current page in the clipboard. Now sumatra supports pdf annotations, made a couple scripts to convert annotations to pdf clickable hyperlinks (and other to undo that). So basically I have a pdf folder and a markdown folder (managed via Obsidian, if you ask) all interlinkable. I read, and copy and paste into markdown, and paste also a link to return to the source from the note. Pay mathpix suscription, there starts to be free would-be replacements. Use Mozilla reader mode chrome extension and print to pdf to save neat pdf versions of blog posts. Finally I have an e-ink e-reader (2nd hand sony dpt-rp1) and am just writing scripts to sync it with windows via an always-on NAS (the e-reader registers itself via zeroconf, and in the NAS via python one can hook a listener that will call unison two-way sync tool). Add also Omnivore.

Isn't it a bit of small round for a hardware startup? It's basically the amount of money put in a single 10000 units batch of the latest framework 16. Multiply that by ~3 to account for lower effective BOM, and I still find this low for a capital-intensive business, that still needs to pay its employees.
On the flipside, traveling alone outside of my state (or more to the point, where I don't have 'control' over my own travel) makes me freeze with terror. Going through an airport? It's a cacophony of confusion, anxiety, and fear rolled into one. Will I get to the airport on time? Will the lines cause me to miss my flight? Am I going to the correct gate? Did I need to take the tram to get to the satellite gate? What if it's late? What if my flight is late? What if we're diverted? Where do I go into <airport I've never visited> to get a rental? How will I get the rental back and where do I go? What if the rental wasn't booked correctly? How will I get to the hotel? What time do I need to leave?

I could go on... But none of those concerns pop up if I'm traveling with someone else.

Deleting the app does not delete your data from their servers. Even wiping your apps local data before deletion, or deleting the account, does not wipe it from their servers. If you don't want them to sell info you provided as needed to use their service, you need to request them to delete it. Method varies by vendor.
