What does that even mean in this context? Have you used TikTok before?
Even if OpenAI hires 1000 people this year at $1M salary each, that’s just $1B. This year they plan to spend $8.7B. People they hire are still competitive with their best models, so why not hire people?

Though I’ll be surprised if they’re still hiring two years from now.
I still think Motorola's Droid (and Droid 2) were the pinnacle of the smartphone form factor.

I distinctly recall the prevailing view among friends at the time was that even with the keyboard-less smartphones becoming the norm that the keyboard approach would become the standard interface, as Blackberry still existed and had majority market share (it seemed; my region had few iPhones at the time).
What a lovely independent discovery! The context is similar to the (un)solvability of the 15 puzzle.

It is mind blowing to me that this fact is not widely understood. A mountain was made out of a molehill. $4B was spent in 2016. $12B in 2024. Yet $100,000 somehow is believed to have made any difference whatsoever. Literally 0.0025% of the total in 2016.

That's not a problem in my mind.

I'd agree that forbidding individuals from installing it would be an overreach, because it would be a more restrictive step then is reasonably necessary to eliminate the legitimate government interest of counter espionage.

I don't think that the governments actions here are more restrictive than necessary for that. The fact that they make some legitimate actions more difficult is completely acceptable (inevitable even).

For most people the Venn Diagram of cars they can acquire, and road legal cars, is a single circle. The government mandating all cars, even those driven solely on private property, be road legal would be an absurd overreach. At the same time they have no obligation to make it easy to acquire non road legal cars just because their legitimate regulations have happened to make that difficult.
By most metrics, things were better about a decade ago. We're on a downward trajectory now. Except by GDP.
That's completely wrong. All of Europe heavily traded with Russia, and Germany even wanted to base their green transformation plan primarily on trade with Russia.
I'd say don't do that. Who reads emails?

Although seriously, I find I never break out of the preview in Outlook email. The only spot in Outlook where I really need to double-click is the calendar. Which is annoying.
There's a balance. Not every team is made up of infallible devs, even at decent companies. Human nature is never full-trust.

I've known talented devs who are great people who still need more oversight than you describe. Usually they are ~5 years off from being full-trust, yet still valuable team members. Yes they benefit from daily standups.
It's not a good indicator that they won't spend money either. These people have a different idea of what's worthwhile, and often times indicating status through clothing is not something they see a ton of signal in.

My personal theory is where Nokia failed was worrying too much about Osborne effect[1] of their Linux-based phones on their Symbian business, or there being some behind-the-scenes contract clauses that tied them to Symbian too much.

Background/disclaimer: My business partner made a prototype touchscreen keyboard for Nokia, running on unreleased Linux hardware. Nokia had a significant Linux codebase very early on.

Remove the gittea instance for now until it's sorted out? Respond to all git.* traffic with a 420 until it's sorted out.
This will ultimately benefit the current Big Tech incumbents. Tiktok was gaining ground rapidly on advertising money and I wouldn't be surprised if there was lobbying that stifled the competition.

Instead of banning TikTok, we should be trying to compete with them and make a better product that wins customers over. It's sad to see the US becoming more authoritarian and follow China's example.
> I moved a pointer to a commit around, why would that change where HEAD is pointed.

...because HEAD points to what's checked out. This pointer does not just exist and hang around, it has its semantics. Not understanding that reveals flaws in your mental model.

Besides, the side affect you find "not surprising" here is... rewriting HEAD to change what it points to. Then you ask "why would that change where HEAD is pointed". Sounds like you may be confused. Are you forgetting that a ref may point not just to a commit, but also to another ref? This is the whole idea behind branches after all, having HEAD point to a ref is exactly what makes branches semantically different from tags - if you don't understand it then no wonder you're confused.

(protip: if you find git's "pointers to pointers" confusing, perhaps because in C a "pointer" and "pointer to pointer" are separate types that make multiple dereferencing steps explicit, think of them as symlinks instead and it should become clearer - that's in fact how symrefs used to be implemented in the past)

When a pointer is in use by higher layers, a good UI will prevent you from making direct changes underneath it unless you force it or go low-level enough for it to not matter. The only sin of git I can see here is that `git` command provides you both high-level and low-level interfaces to manipulate the data structure you're working on with no clear distinction for the user.
Sure, but why can't my teenager smoke cigarettes?

The point of my response is: sometimes you have to be paternalistic, and the federal government doesn't need to meaningfully defend the ban to someone who doesn't like it because those people don't matter. They meaningfully defended the ban to the courts.

It’s the other way around the law got created because of the possibility of private copies and their fear of profit loss. A private copy is only legal if the source is legal. Circumventing copy protection makes it illegal.
Pirated copies and temporary copies like streaming are afaik grey areas because the difficulty to prove and not a trade off.

No one's talking about availability in Russia except you.

And to add some substance about why AJ and RT can be accessed I will quote another commenter who put it better than I did:
"The reason you can is that very few people actually do. As the Tik Tok affair shows, the moment the US suspects it might have some real competitor in controlling the narrative, it shuts them down. Maybe it's the right thing to do, but it's worth taking note that it's how things are."
Read the architecture document here.[1]

The usual problems with these things are discovery and security. Discovery is done via local WiFi broadcast. Not clear how security is done. How do you allow ad-hoc networking yet disallow hostile actors from connecting?

High reliability of airliners is achieved by having redundancy of all critical parts. The idea is no single failure can cause a crash.

For example, if system A has a failure probability of 10%, if A is redundant with another A', the combined failure probability is 1%.

That of course presumes that A and A' are not connected.
> the US government is generally benign in that it historically has not abused its power over citizens

To the extent this is maybe remotely arguably defensible, it is only so because the US has historically defined internal subjects who it wished to abuse most intently as non-citizens (or even legal non-persons), including chattel slavery of much of the Black population until the Civil War, and the largely genocidal American Indian wars up through 1924. But even in those cases you still have to ignore a lot of abuse in the period after nominal citizenship was granted (for Black Americans, especially, but very much not exclusively, in the first century after abolition of slavery).

ArkType 2.0: Validate 100x faster with DX that will blow your mind
ArkType 2.0 is a no-setup solution for schema validation with a new style of type-safe API that parallels native type syntax while offering validation functionality like Zod or Yup.

It also brings types to runtime in a way they've never been available before. They can be introspected and compared just like `extends` in native TS.

Thanks for your patience, and I couldn't be more hyped to see what you do with it!

>I actually really appreciate USB devices that masquerade as a storage device to provide their own drivers.

I appreciate the ones that don't need their own drivers in the first places. Sure something needs special drivers but things like usb sticks and mice should just work using the default ones and let you get the updates from the internet if you want them.
Yes. It was even submitted to the court here ex-parte (without letting TikTok see it), though the court apparently declined to consider it.

This is amazing. I'm getting chills!

As a side note, I have gotten into watching a "foreigner" BW channel everyday called ArtosisCasts. The videos are very strategic and high level commentaries on games as they are watched for the first time, with some after-match highlights for especially interesting maneuvers. It has really made me appreciate the depth of the game, as well as explain how I was so bad at it in high school. It has actually made me think a lot about startups, economic optimization, and how you approach the "meta" of any activity you're undertaking.
Based on maximum authorized weight. I would say these vehicles don't have ANY authorized weight, because they're not authorized at all in EU or UK, but Cybertruck specs ask to follow the GVWR [0] of the vehicle, that's right over 4000kg

UK common driving license (cat. B) seems to be similar to other EU licences (Spain here) I guess because previous EU standardization.

"Category B" licenses (post 1997): "You can drive vehicles up to 3,500kg maximum authorised mass (MAM) with up to 8 passenger seats." [1]

The US government protects Facebook, and is what enabled them to become they company they are today. There are plenty of examples of their loyalty to the US government. They make back doors available and allow the US government to moderate content. Seems like they are very aligned!

Because I, as an adult, decided that I am ok with sharing my personal data within their app in exchange for getting to use the app.

As long as I am not sharing personal data of other people (who haven’t consented to it like I did) or some government/work/etc info that I have no right to share, I am not sure how this is anyone else’s business.

P.S. I would somewhat get your argument if it wasn’t TikTok but something that could theoretically affect the country’s infrastructure or safety (e.g., tax preparation software or a money-managing app or an MFA app for secure logins). But all personal data on me that TikTok has is purely my own, has nothing critical at all (all it knows is what i watch and do within the app), and has zero effect on anyone or anything else.
Hamas makes the claim from God; perhaps not the PA but they're barely a government anyway.
Funny that you picked Porsche as an example. Their sales process is much like the terrible B2B experience. They won't even sell you many of their cars if you haven't purchased something cheaper from them in the past. Walk into a dealer, tell them you want to purchase a GT3 RS, and they'll laugh you out the door.
There's no such message there, it was a description of a situation written by me and it doesn't even actually match the git's lingo. Should have made it clearer I guess.

It is surprising. You wanted to edit the value of `main` ref, yet suddenly you now edited `HEAD` too without meaning it. Bailing out and letting you actually decide whether you want to do it or not is the correct thing to do for a high-level command like `git branch` (alternatively it could ask you what to do interactively). If you don't want such safeguards and you know what you're doing, use `git update-ref` which will happily let you break whatever you want.

In the late 80s and early 90s, the foreign-exchange reserves of China was less than a billion dollars. The US government could spend $50M to negotiate a lot of things from China, like having a war with Vietnam even though it was Soviet who was behind Vietnamese government. Nowadays, Chinese government could easily say fuck this $100B. Papa can afford it to call your bluff.

It's great that an entire nation can gain wealth through hard work and good strategic decisions, at least in some way. But it hurts me that the US lost its way in the process by losing so much manufacturing capabilities, to the point that we can't even adequately produce saline solutions, nor could we make shells or screws for our war planes cheaply.

We didn't find many good up-to-date resources online on the hardware side of things - kinda why we wanted to write about it. The networking aspect was the most mystical - I highly recommend "BGP in the datacenter" by Dinesh Dutt on that (I think it's available for free via NVidia). Our design is heavily influenced by the ideas discussed there.
There might be a video where this happens, but I think it's more likely that you're misremembering it; there was a somewhat famous game cast by Husky where Cella[1] (a professional player) was joking around on the Internet playing 2v2 (2 teams of 2 players each).

He asked his partner what strategy he should use, the person responded with "13 gate" (meaning: keep building probes until you have 13, then build your first warpgate). Cella pretended to misunderstand and instead built 13 warpgates, which is a horrible strategy, but they still won the game. They only won because his partner could barely defend him in early game while he was building the warpgates. After surviving early game, it wasn't a fair fight even with a horrible strategy, because it's a professional against "normal" people on the Internet.

I don't think the video exists anymore, Husky famously removed his whole channel with a lot of StarCraft 2 early history, but I found this Reddit thread[2] talking about the game (WeRRa was Cella's team at the time, that's why they call him CellaWeRRa).

In that story, it had nothing to do with the line, and everything to do with the fact that the train was incorrectly marked on the departures board.

But in a nut shell I think we're seeing outcome #2 play out, which has huge ramifications for the Chinese internet. Essentially this could become a precedent for all Chinese apps moving forward, and essentially the great firewall slowly dissolving. Trends have been slowly going that way with Bilibili, Douban, Kuaishou, etc, being more open to foreigners. There's still a lot to play out over the next few weeks as Trump assumes office and Tiktok CEO attends the inauguration. But there is just too much to comment about this entire situation, and most people who aren't Chinese or have experience with the great firewall are not going to comprehend just how monumental this whole ordeal has already been, and will be.
The whole thing, including Biden setting the deadline for literally the last day of his presidency, strikes me as extremely odd. I have no idea what the real story is here, but it very much seems that what is happening is not at all what it seems.
I always say a professor has (at least) 3 personalities, each of which do not need be similar to one another

- Teacher
- Advisor
- Faculty

I've seen professors be great faculty members where everyone likes them but they are an abusive advisor and terrible teacher. I've seen professors be amazing advisors, terrible teachers, and most faculty members hate them (often happens when lots of department politics and this person is usually highly research focused). I've also seen people be good at all 3 and terrible at all 3. The current chair of my department is the latter and was unanimously voted against for chair, but no one else ran so he won by default lol.

Ultra processed foods are usually unhealthy because of the relative high amount of additives that are 'needed' to proloung their conservation. Those additives can be natural, like sugar and salt, but still are unhealthy in large quantities. Also heating, which can be seen as natural, can proloung conservation, but often have the side effect of chemical reactions into unhealthy molecules.

The better alternative is to eat non processed food, but only early after reaping. Otherwise the natural (!) chemical reactions like oxidation makes them unhealthy.

The plants in my garden are all natural. I don't use chemicals. Still half of them contain poison like blueacid.

Just to say, natural doesn't mean healthy. Processed doesn't mean unhealthy.
