It's a fairly trivial inconvenience. You can just add something to the effect of the below code, and you'll not get stuck and realistically not skip over crawling anything of value.

if (response_time > 8 seconds && response_payload < 2048 bytes) {
extract_links = false;
}

The odds of a payload that's smaller than the average <head> element taking 20 seconds to load, while containing something worth crawling is fairly low.
I don’t think (a) is true. The Shuttle flew with people on its maiden voyage, but that’s the only one I can think of.

(b) is true and should make it substantially safer than other launch systems. But given how narrow the margins are for something going wrong (zero ability to land safely with all engines dead, for example) it’s still going to be pretty dangerous compared to more mundane forms of travel.

Are Weibo and Xiaohongshu used widely outside of China? Given the names alone I'd imagine their adoption is fairly limited to China.
I would absolutely never, EVER encourage the use of a package manager when getting someone accustomed to programming. Why on earth would you do that? The problems that package managers solve are completely orthogonal to the environment of someone who hasn't even built up the intuition for basic things like flipflops, lexical scope, iteration, etc.

Downloading archives with a web browser and extracting them and just doing manual file management is vastly preferable in such an environment. That is a vastly simpler process which is impossible to break, and odds are the student will already be familiar with most of the process.

Neat. I wonder what Google Translate uses these days and if its gotten or will receive an update to a new LLM.
Theoretically that can happen. But functionally, that hasn't happened - and in fact, the primary incentive is for that not to happen (bad business, etc).

I think there would need to be some basis in fact for these claims, right?
Nature of the tips business. Especially considering people have been throwing darts at the Intel acquisition dartboard for a year+.
Start doing the work. Buy books and read them, watch conference talks, start hacking at home. Realize you have to start from close to the bottom and work your way up, and start applying to internships or entry level positions. Learn on the job and devote yourself heavily to career development to catch up.

If this doesn't sound appealing, then changing careers probably isn't for you and you will probably have challenges succeeding at it.

To your questions

> How did you pinpoint new directions that matched your skills and interests?

I found my pivot while working in my prior role, and worked actively to change paths at that company. I'd say if the overlap is close enough, try to get on-the-job tastes of the new direction. If not, see if volunteer or charity opportunities are available. Sometimes the reality of a change doesn't match up to expectations.

> What were the most effective ways to reposition your experience in a new field?

Some experience in the field will let you know what is valued and how to parse a resume. You should seek out someone in that field to be a mentor through this process. It is probably better to ask them this question.

> Are there any resources or strategies you’d recommend for upskilling or building networks?

It is not a great sign for you that you are asking this here. This is a hard process. You should look in your own personal network for contacts you can ask about the new field. Failing that, you should look for local professional organizations, meetups, conferences, or colleges with relevant departments and reach out to them. They will have the best advice. In terms of upskilling, there is no substitue for on-the-job training in any field. You just need to understand if there are any credentials, qualifications, or certifications you need in order to get your foot in the door.
Well, yes. Just like you're allowed to say who your biggest enemy or your best friend is, even if your biggest enemy or best friend don't feel the same way about you.

Anyways, who do you think China would say their #1 geopolitical adversary is?
Yes, it has a web version.
US is not a democracy in a strict sense, it is more like plutocracy (people with money have the power).

- the electoral college where winner takes all, so minority opposition vote is always suppressed
- gerrymandering that dilutes and suppresses the minority opposition vote
- oligopoly of two parties
- unchecked financial influence by allowing unlimited funding via PACs
- legalized lobbying/bribery
- influence of special interest groups
- the influence of legal system with expensive lawyers (that only rich can afford)

this all indicate that it is people with deep pockets who have all the power
>>> In that scenario the app won’t "magically disappear" from phones, CNET tech reporter Abrar Al-Heeti told Yahoo Finance, but experts said its performance could weaken over time because TikTok’s parent won’t be able to make app store updates.

>>> “The practical effect is, in the short run, what's going to happen is new users won't be able to download the app in any of the marketplaces,”
> so the code doesn't devolve into slop

As I see it, this is pretty much a given across all codebases, with a natural tendency of all projects to become balls of mud if the developer(s) don't actively strive to address technical debt and continuously refactor to address the new needs. But having said that, my experience is that for a given task in an unfamiliar codebase, an AI agent is already better at maintaining consistency than a typical junior developer, or even a mid-level developer who recently joined the team. And when explicitly given the task of refactoring the codebase while keeping the tests passing, the AI agents are already very capable.

The biggest issue, which is what you may be alluding to, is that AI agents are currently very bad at recognizing the limits of their capabilities and continue trying an approach when a human dev would have long since given up and went to their lead to ask for help or for the task specification to be redefined. That's definitely an issue, but I don't see any fundamental technological limitation here, but rather something addressable via an engineering effort.

In general, I've seen so many benchmarks fall to AI in the recent decade (including SWE-BENCH), that now I'm quite confident that if a task being performed by humans can be defined with clear numerical goals, then it's achievable by AI.

And another way I'm looking at it is that for any specific knowledge work competency, it seems to already be much easier and time effective to train an AI to do well on it than to create a curriculum for humans to learn it and then to have every single human to go through it.
To be fair, in Steven Colbert's case, he definitely was playing a character on The Colbert Report. A ridiculously conservative one that asked guests repeatedly if George W. Bush was a great president, or the greatest president. It was very over the top.

"You can drive anywhere you like..." as they take away the super major highways owned by foreign adversaries and leave the ones bending the knee to USA national interests.

It seems incredibly logical from a state perspective. Sucks for users who can't choose to use a major highway without it being owned by an technofeudal oligarch. That statement holds true regardless of any platform. What were those blockchain people up to again?
The author helpfully emphasized the interesting question at the end

> This future worries me because it doesn’t really matter what technical choices we make around privacy. It does not matter if your model is running locally, or if it uses trusted cloud hardware — once a sufficiently-powerful general-purpose agent has been deployed on your phone, the only question that remains is who is given access to talk to it. Will it be only you? Or will we prioritize the government’s interest in monitoring its citizens over various fuddy-duddy notions of individual privacy.

I do think there are interesting policy questions there. I mean it could hypothetically be mandated that the government must be given access to the agent (in the sense that we and these companies exist in jurisdictions that can pass arbitrary laws; let’s skip the boring and locale specific discussion of whether you think your local government would pass such a law).

But, on a technical level—it seems like it ought to be possible to run an agent locally, on a system with full disk encryption, and not allow anyone who doesn’t have access to the system to talk with it, right? So on a technical level I don’t see how this is any different from where we were previously. I mean you could also run a bunch of regex’s from the 80’s to find whether or not somebody has, whatever, communist pamphlets on their computers.

There’s always been a question of whether the government should be able to demand access to your computer. I guess it is good to keep in mind that if they are demanding access to an AI agent that ran on your computer, they are basically asking for a lossy record of your entire hard drive.
I've had the opposite experience where it isn't very fast at all.

In fact this past holiday season Amtrak stranded 100+ people in DC because the train left before all tickets were checked. https://www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/2024/12/27/amtrak-st...
It's not apparent why we need a joint supply analogy.

The ecosystem wouldn't work without the hardware, the SDKs and the app store. They are designed and maintained in tandem. They are in joint supply. Why does Apple create Xcode and the various SDKs? Is it to support hardware sales, or to support app store sales?
I like more details/discussion; but the take in this podcast feels incredibly naive and conspiratorial; going isnofaras to blame Israeli dark money for the 'ban' while ignoring the legally mandated CCP integration w/ large companies (while claiming "i have no way to know if there is integration" despite it being easily searchable).

It would be interesting to see TikTok go full scorched earth and become a mega pirate movie, music, TV, streaming sports site.
The problem is liability, to an extent; if you imagine a perfect market system, then maybe it would fix climate change; the parties responsible would be on the hook to pay for their externalities, so would be incentivised to stop producing them. In the real world, ah, not so much, though I do wonder if we'll see insurers/reinsurers attempting to sue big CO2 emitters in the near future.
For the purposes of anyone reading this, you can make a perpetual motion machine using solar power. I'm pretty sure modern engineering and materials are sophisticated to make a machine of some sort that collects energy during the day and stores it over night in order to continuously move for...I don't know, several hundred, several thousand years? Nothing overly sophisticated, since I wouldn't necessarily trust bearings or motors or hinges to last that long, but something that performs work without needing to be touched for multiple lifetimes.
Don’t let the title fool you: this is anextremely thorough and creative take on translating and making more approachable the commentary of StarCraft.

As the author rightly points out, in its 27 years of existence, commentary around the game has become a domain specific language. Not just Korean or English.

This approach of automated scripting and using AI to understand roughly what was said and then make it coherent is really cool.
How much "profit" does the app store need to pay back to all the api development that powers the apps under the hood?

Similar to the amazon dont make a profit for a decade by dumping it into growth, Apple can dump all their app store "profit" into developing new api's that apps can access, such as ai tools etc.
US benefits from Tiktok ban. US benefits from its social media not being banned in other countries. The calculation is pretty clear to me.
There were quite large areas of airspace closed just for this reason via NOTAMS - with airlines grumbling about that even before launch.
I'd like to see their working for that number. Let's say we subtract 20% from Canada + the UK + the US, we get ~320 million. add Nigeria and Uganda and you have easily 400 million. That's without Australia, Ireland, New Zealand or any of the African or Caribbean countries.
And that's when he stopped being funny. As a big fan I was confused by how unfunny his tonight show content was from day one compared to everything we saw upto that point. I can see why legal action when nowhere it's not the same product. Using the same name does cause confusion in the marketplace.
And behind that at least in part is the tangle of bad laws, esp. in IP.

I didn't see a sale of TikTok anywhere? The main point of issue I have with the bill is that the text of the bill [0] specifies that any company if it is owned by a "foreign adversary" (as defined by Congress) and the President deems it to be a threat will be forced to divest or stop participating in the American market.

Part of the core reason that TikTok didn't want to divest was that they had ownership of a damn good algorithm and didn't want to share it. It's not a big leap from this to banning other companies that might have competing algorithms that could eat into major US corporations. If Egypt designs a better X does Elon get to urge it's bad because it's a threat?

I also think it's a pretty badly written bill in general. The bill won't punish or ByteDance. It punishes the digital infrastructure companies like Apple, Google and Oracle who provide the ability to download the app or the database.

I'm not defending TikTok or claiming it's not an security threat. I just think that the bill is poorly written and doesn't deal with the actual root of the problem.

Compare how much money each company spent before the first/second/etc flight. The ENTIRE program has so far cost less than one set of SLS engines - that they took from older rockets without changes.

They have explicitly and publicly chosen to rapidly iterate without spending billions to make sure the first try goes well - it's simply different culture. The first Starship wasn't even something you could actually call a rocket, it was a water tower with a bunch of rocket engines.

They wanted data about the engines and got them - mission 100% accomplished, that's not a failure in any way except for media shock value because "wow such boom". Come on, you call yourself an engineer? Do you not try your software or hardware before 100% completion? You don't have CI with integration and e2e tests? There's no other way to do this cheaply and quickly, you have to try.

Call me when any other company achieves what Falcon9 did, then we can discuss issues of SpaceX engineering culture and how others are better. But they are not, few test flights are not interesting, what's interesting is that they are 10 years ahead of everybody else and offer by far the cheapest and by orders of magnitude most reliable orbital lift service.

Others should stop waiting 10 years before the first flight and accept some risk, the world would be much better by now.
I agree Xcode might be one of the worst IDEs I have ever used but at basically every company I've worked for the update cycle was maybe once or twice a year and for the most part was painless. There's been maybe one or two upgrades of Xcode in my ~13 year career that were a headache.

I have no idea what libraries you're talking about but you don't really need to use any third party libraries to build a good iOS app. Unless you're doing something incredibly obscure most of the big/popular ones are very well maintained.
Wow, thank you - this is exactly what I didn't get.
You explained it super well.

I am number 2, and so I guess it wont affect me as long as the fingerprint doesn't change to a malicious server that have taken over an IP.
Which effectively means that anybody in a less risky area of California is just subsidizing those who live in the risky areas. Premia across the board will increase as a result.

I assumed Apple's margin was 30%, the difference between what a user pays and what the developer receives. Am I missing something here?
China also has 7 main federally recognized holidays. Although, one interesting thing they do is "weekend shifting" where they move the official work days near, e.g. the Spring Festival so that people get a full week of holiday (at the cost of a longer workweek or a one-day weekend right before/after it): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Public_holidays_in_China#Weeke...
It's a hypothetical, and it has literally never happened. If they're ready to buy, they'll buy. If they need a quick call, ofc I can jump on at that point, but it really depends on what the call is about -- e.g. if they want to know how to do something, email is a better medium for technical topics.
Your concern about losing the dominant culture status is useless. Recent geopolitical situation clearly shows soft power is useless. Hardpower is where everything is at.
> Americans are already quite free to seek a broad range of domestic and foreign viewpoints.

The reality is they live in an establishment controlled media bubble, that is itself full of propaganda.

Being free does not mean free to live in a lie constructed for the benefit of someone else, it means being free to live in reality, and that freedom is being denied to Americans. At least the Chinese are aware of their reality.
Honest question: why would an American consciously seek out multiple Chinese apps on purpose?
To directly answer the question, Rednote is not generally used outside China, and the point about these apps being representative of "global" social media apps is false.
The original sin was Wickard, which found a farmer “growing wheat to feed animals on his own farm” was subject to interstate commerce “reduced the amount of wheat he would buy for animal feed on the open market, which is traded nationally, is thus interstate, and is therefore within the scope of the Commerce Clause” [1]. The court even noted that the farmer’s “relatively small amount of production of more wheat than he was allotted would not affect interstate commerce itself,” ruling that “the cumulative actions of thousands of other farmers” acting as he did would.

I recall reading the same thing, however I do recall that they were East coast native Indians, that cleared oak tree forests as a hunting grounds, so completelly unrelated to the problem in California. The story was about native land rights and if such looking after their hunting grounds can be seen as claims on property rights, which Indians did not knew as a concept, so it is a moot point anyway.
The issues that plague CA seems to be chaos in organization level - from what I have read these wildfires are happening in the year, that did had moderate drought(compared to others), so I would look suspiciously in this with the mind, that if politicians are blaming climate, then it is a sign that they are absolutelly responsible for what they have not done and promised to people. But I do not own a house there and I have not voted for these people and I absolutelly would not hang them in the chimney of my house.

PS Also, there are many opportunists, that were burning their houses to receive insurance or compensations, so not all of those houses were burned by wildfires. It all looks ugly, regadless from what angle you look, because if there is no responsibility - even from the ones that have taken upon resposibility, then catastrophe is expected - sooner than later.
If I hadn't already quit using Google Search years ago, I might do so now.
