Not the first, but the general idea that the usa behave like ignorant entitled kids with too much power is indeed very worrying for the rest of the world.
Are we talking young-earth creationist or "God triggered the big bang and guided evolution" creationist? Because there is a huge difference between them!

Young earth creationists are scientifically ignorant by definition.

Except people may be migrating to Rednote (which you have heard, is Chinese).

Government intervention at its finest.
RedNote don't have english user interface, and it have worse censorship compare to tiktok or facebook.

Unless you want to learn Chinese and/or spend time to navigate around the content modulation system (not very hard, it just different), the experience ain't great.
This is a deterrent until Kim Jong Un loses his marbles or receives a terminal diagnosis, or until some military commander makes a serious mistake. Now multiply this same risk times fifty or sixty and you’ll see why the major project of the 20th century was limiting the number of countries with nukes.
Oh, you could probably make some effective arguments that they're using it to influence American thought in a way that's designed to diminish the US as a world power through internal strife.

Israel/Hamas would probably be an example.
I understand your point, but I don't think it works like that for teenagers. Teenagers need to connect. They will go where the others go, because that's exactly what matters to them.

It's not that they deliberately want the addiction. The addiction is a consequence of it, but they go to TikTok because their peers are on TikTok.
I agree. My point was from “all other thing being equal” that extra attentiveness on its own is a plus. I work in computer vision AI and am aware of current limitations.
Do I read correctly that this is related to "rsync daemon" (rsyncd), and therefore has minimal impact on people who just use rsync over ssh?
> but when people talk about AI harms, especially harms in the “risk to all human life” category, I’m increasingly convinced that it’s an intentional misdirect away from the very real harms that are happening in front of us - right now.

I'm not sure that it's _intentional_; a lot of people are in deep into the "superhuman AIs" thing, in a quasi-religious way. But certainly the approach to "AI safety" is far too much "what if a sci-fi thing happens?" and not enough "what if people take the output of the spicy autocomplete seriously?" It's really mostly a human factors problem, at least for now; these things are being used completely inappropriately (and of course the companies making them have an interest in that; constraining them to appropriate low-risk uses would make them useful approximately nowhere).
Some Japanese tried to buy one the these supposedly perfectly "independent private compan[ies]", and the US president said no, but that's completely different I'm sure.

The usual story, it is OK for the Americans to have military bases all around the world, much less so when it comes to any other countries.
Well the alternative, in realpolitik terms, is having everything owned by Chinese companies.

While I hate to admit that you are not inaccurate, we are humans and should be able to find a way to raise the youth without resorting to storing them in prisons while they explore how to physically and emotionally torture one another. The fact that we accept this as a mere expression of nature is beyond horrifying, because schools are anything, but nature. I would sooner accept gangs of free roaming kids across the neighborhood, but you can't have that, because that would impede private property and businesses.

<< God how I hate idea of "safe spaces".

It is not a question of safe space. It is a question of what you are teaching. Because of the people like you, who think it is perfectly fine education, I can accurately pinpoint 'troublemakers' and 'danger' as I walk down the street and avoid the place. That is explicitly NOT what early education should be.

A large part of it is obviously negative polarization: you tell people they can't use a Chinese app, they're going to use a different Chinese app. Hence the pictures of Luigi.

It's worth asking why Reels/Shorts didn't take off and those companies had to ask for their competition to be banned instead. Everyone agrees that "the algorithm is better", but this is very hard to quantify. Perhaps something about surfacing smaller creators? Quantity/quality of invasive advertising?

I 100% agree, I think social media has been a complete mistake, facebook's creation is my version of eternal november since I joined the web in 1999

The big reason I think it changed is that the internet went from being a place for nerds and geeks, when there was a technical barrier to getting online, to a place where there is essentially no barrier. As a result the web now reflects the innocence, openness, and intellectual curiosity of the average person, since the internet has become a daily part of everyone's life not just a subsection of the world that appeals to us.

I think they do have an English user interface since yesterday, which may still be unpolished. TikTok is available in many countries under their own languages though.

This is pretty much the methodology behind "comprehensible input", where you consume lots of content that you can just about understand and "let your brain figure it out".

There's quite a lot along these lines. LingQ helps you learn as you read books, and I built https://nuenki.app, which gives you constant comprehensible input as you browse the web.

I also really like Language Transfer, which isn't really a comprehensible input course, but tries to draw parallels to English and talks through the etymology a little. The approach appeals to me.

hacker news has a lot of ideological community problems but HN is not "massively centralized", it's just a narrow window into the US tech scene with a relatively small community of people.

I think there's a great argument that says the first amendment is not a suicide pact. The social media environment right now is having an unprecedented destructive effect on US democracy. I think TikTok is right there as a key player in spreading weapons-grade, state-sponsored mush to younger people.
Teachers in most countries are, at best, mid-wits with no practical or real world experience. I know teachers who barely passed math in high school who are now match teachers. It's like a basketball teacher who went to "Basketball Teaching School", who's never played basketball in his life, teaching kids how to play basketball.
> Or is the point of your comment to say, they are incentivized to "brand" their research in a way which is attractive to a VC audience?

Yes
> That Beijing would rather close TikTok entirely, rather than sell it, shows how deeply important it is to Beijing that TikTok does not come under the control of another nation, including the US

I don't think it is important because of how 'powerful' a tool it is. I think it is more than being forced to sell it would be losing face and a humiliation (a la 19th century's Inequal Treaties). Also, they don't have to sell it altogether as the issue is only with the US.

So they just shut it down in the US and can say that they don't give in to blackmail while pointing out how hypocritical the US are ("free speech but only if controlled by the US" sort of angle).
This is where the hypocrisy and short sightedness of those worker/contractor regulations begins to show.

If these transferred to independent there may be a win for all sides. Merit and recurring opportunities may become more competitive.

but HN is centralized, so you agree if HN exceeds some arbitrary amount of users it should be banned? how ridiculous. tiktok is not any better or worse than facebook, youtube, or the mainstream media.
Given how easy it is for China to buy US data legally from data brokers and how similar the functionality of TikTok and YouTube Shorts, I feel like the only explanations are:

1. The govt is mad that a foreign company is outcompeting a domestic one

Or more likely, given that there are so many other industries that didn't get a ban:

2. The govt is mad that they have control over the narrative on Facebook but do not on TikTok
Godot is very easy to get running.

Monogame / C# is also pretty easy, but it's definitely more in the lightweight camp.
They can connect in person. Like they did exclusively up until the mid 00s.

I think peers is also a strange word to use. When I joined Facebook in 2007 you were more-or-less sorted by where you went to high school. You connected with people you knew.

I'm sure that still exists on some level, but social media is now about driving engagement with people who pay these companies to get eyeballs. An influencer isn't your peer. It's like considering Billy Mays (may he rest in peace) your peer in 2007. No, he's a dude who sold you Oxy-Clean, but he was on TV a lot.

No, thank you. DynamoDB promotes a terrible dev workflow, and there’s no way around it. It’s like embedding S3 directly into your application code.

The client libraries are gigantic, and the documentation is misleading at times. Plus, Dynamo expects your access patterns to be static, which isn’t true most of the time. Hyperscaling is great, but many aren’t willing to give up everything else just for that.
It's possible...but the point of this instrument is to measure star locations very precisely. It probably has a star tracker for positioning doing what you're suggesting. If you were to use that type of positioning info you could introduce inaccuracies into the measured data eventually.

Also, every mission comes to an end eventually - better to do it in the right way and have the right amount of propellent saved for either a graveyard orbit or de-orbiting. It met the mission timeline and goals.
Social disruption. That's plainly clear given that Douyin is prevented from having the destructive content that proliferates on TikTok. Keep your competition mired in anti-inellectualism for a generation and it accelerates the rot.

If you look for a lot of the great classics, audiobooks results are inundated with basic TTS "audiobooks" that are impossible to filter out.
These are impossible to listen to because they lack the proper intonation marking the end of sentences, making it very tiring to parse.
It might be better than tuna can sounding recordings, especially if you want to ear them in traffic (a common requirement), but that's about it.
The alternative, if you want real quality recordings, is to stop reading classics and instead read latest Japanime Isekai of murder mystery, these have very good options on the market.
Anyway, I don't think it needs more justification that it covers a good niche usage.

I'm checking what the actual quality is (not a cherry-picked example), but:

I do wonder if you'd want to implement a sort of 3D game engine that simulates the entire universe, if somehow the weird stuff quantum physics and general relativity do (like the planck limit, the lightspeed limit, discretization, the 2D holographic bound on amount of stuff in 3D volumes, the not having an actual value til measured, the not being able to know momentum and speed at the same time, the edge of observable universe, ...) will turn out to be essential optimizations of this engine that make this possible.

Many of the quantum and general relativity behaviors seem to be some kind of limits (compared to a newtonian universe where you can go arbitrarily small/big/fast/far). Except quantum computing, that one's unlocking even more computation instead so is the opposite of a limit and making it harder rather than easier to simulate...
Fwiw, I don't have kids but my two nephews went to a Waldorf school K-12 (graduating this year).

They are by far the most well-adjusted young men I'm around. Excelling academically, sports, volunteering, lots of interest in the outdoors, part-time jobs, all of their own volition. Barely ever catch them on a cell phone, despite having their own with unrestricted access for a while now at this point. It might be worth looking into some of that school's principles around gradual introduction of technology specifically (I know there is some other controversial stuff you can ignore).

Although... I do think the benefit in their case is in part due to everyone in their grade having had the same rules in years prior. So, it may be difficult to replicate in an environment where phones are ubiquitous by middle school.
Hell, I'd make that arbitrary amount 300.

That's about the number of social connections the human brain is really meant to handle.
A GenAI model that read audiobooks with such dramatisation is really my dream. There are so many books that I would want to listen to, but still lack such an adaptation. Also it takes months after the book release before the audiobook gets released.

Just imagine what this would do for writers. They can get instant feedback and adjust their book for the audiobook.
Totally. I find it very interesting that we tend to criticize China for their protectionism, but as soon as something out-competes US companies, it gets banned: Huawei, DJI, TikTok.

Of course it cannot be said like this, because "free speech" and "democracy", so the official reason is "national security".
The universe is already modeled that way. Differential equations are a kind of continuous time and space version of cellular automata, where the next state at a point is determined by the infinitesimally neighboring states.

According to the people gunning for it seems to be mostly about controlling what content Americans can see in order to keep public opinions in line with foreign policy goals. (i.e. pro Israel)

>While data security issues are paramount, less often discussed is TikTok’s power to radically distort the world-picture that America’s young people encounter. Israel’s unfolding war with Hamas is a crucial test case. According to one poll, 51% of Americans between the ages of 18 and 24 believe that Hamas’s murder of civilians was justified—a statistic notably different from other age cohorts. Analysts have attributed this disparity to the ubiquity of anti-Israel content on TikTok, where most young internet users get their information about the world

BSD+"additional clause" is not BSD.

Just like 3+1 is not 3.
I'm skeptical that the algorithm is actually "better" and it's not just that the end users have fed TikTok a ton more data points about their personal likes and dislikes.

Of course an app you have used for thousands of hours is going to know you better than the one you tried for half an hour
A forced sale would essentially gut them of their proprietary algo, which is leagues ahead of anything YT or Insta has. This algo and the associated TikTok assets can still be used a billion different ways around the world and in other apps.

Why would they ever want to help create an international competitor that could compete with them? I don't think any business would want to do that. Obviously the CCP has a level of access if they want it to data hosted in China, that's how it works with every company that has a physical location there.

> In later years, getting out of school tuition was the main way to prep for the 11+, which put grammar schools financially out of reach for a lot of working class families. It had basically become a parallel state funded education system for the middle class.

But given most schools now in the country (given only a small subset still have grammar schools) are done by catchment area, much of this still exists in comprehensive education too. Now, if you're well off you just buy a house in the right area so your kids get in to the good school.
