> Political things aside, it's crazy to see so much of a flip-flop so quickly

Trump has never had any issue he has not been on both sides of. He has no ideology, he does what benefits him in the moment at any given moment.
I doubt judges would take your side on this interpretation of the law. Wanna put some money on this bet?
Can you please elaborate and explain further?
What is your opinion on India's ban of TikTok a few years ago?
> If the national security issues exist, where is the outrage from our elected officials?

The vast majority of security threats does not cause any public outrage. It is dealt with behind the scenes.
There are really few systems where you can save a part of a byte! And if you need to output a byte anyway, it doesn't matter which byte it is. So you can indulge and use "?", "!", "*", or even "&" to signify various types of error conditions.

(On certain architectures, you could use 1-byte soft-interrupt opcodes to call the most used subroutine, but 8080 lacked it IIRC; on 6502 you could theoretically use BRK for that. But likely you had other uses for it than printing error diagnostics.)
Are there any formatters that detect related things and put them in the same column? Here's a Pie example:

(claim Tuple3 (-> U U U U))
(define Tuple3 (lambda ( a b c )
(Pair a (Pair b c) )))
(claim tuple3Of (Pi ( (A U) (B U) (C U))
(-> A B C
(Tuple3 A B C ))))
(define tuple3Of (lambda ( A B C )
(lambda ( a b c )
(the (Tuple3 A B C )
(cons a (cons b c)) ))))

(claim Tuple5 (-> U U U U U U))
(define Tuple5 (lambda ( a b c d e )
(Pair a (Pair b (Pair c (Pair d e))))))
(claim tuple5Of (Pi ((A U) (B U) (C U) (D U) (E U))
(-> A B C D E
(Tuple5 A B C D E ))))
(define tuple5Of (lambda ( A B C D E )
(lambda ( a b c d e )
(the (Tuple5 A B C D E )
(cons a (cons b (cons c (cons d e))))))))
As I said a while back Apple is also dying.
> Why wouldn't OpenAI cheat? It's an open secret in industry that benchmarks are trained on. Everybody does it, so you need to do that or else your similarly performing model will look worse on paper.

This starts with a fallacious appeal to cynicism combined with an unsubstantiated claim about widespread misconduct. The "everybody does it" argument is a classic rationalization that doesn't actually justify anything. It also misunderstands the reputational and technical stakes - major labs face intense scrutiny of their methods and results, and there's plenty of incestuous movement between labs and plenty of leaks.

> And even they respect the agreement, even using test set as a validation set can be a huge advantage. That's why validation set and test set are two different terms with precise meaning.

This part accidentally stumbles into a valid point about ML methodology while completely missing why it matters. Yes, validation and test sets serve different purposes - that's precisely why reputable labs maintain strict separations between them. The implication that this basic principle somehow proves misconduct is backwards logic.

> People who are using these models to solve math problems are tiny share of users and even tinier share of revenues.

This reveals a fundamental misunderstanding of why math capabilities matter. They're not primarily about serving math users - they're a key metric for abstract reasoning and systematic problem-solving abilities. This is basic ML evaluation theory.

> What OpenAI needs is to convince investors that there is still progress in capabilities going at high pace, and gaming the benchmarks makes perfect sense in this context. 25% was surprising and appeared to surpass expectations, which is exactly what OpenAI needs.

This concludes with pure speculation presented as fact, combined with a conspiracy theory that lacks any actual evidence. It also displays a shallow understanding of how technical due diligence works in major AI investments - investors at this level typically have deep technical expertise, access to extensive testing and validation, and most damningly, given the reductive appeal to incentive structure:

They closed the big round weeks before.

The whole comment reads like someone who has picked up some ML terminology but lacks fundamental understanding of how research evaluation, technical accountability, and institutional incentives actually work in the field. The dismissive tone and casual accusations of misconduct don't help their credibility either.
I'm old enough to remember when selling out the American people to the CCP would have been a career ending scandal.
My wife is Albanian, I lived there in 2021/2022.

I found that many people think positively of the regime and its dictator. The population was ill-equipped to deal with a market economy when the regime fell, and many Albanians believe the country has gone down a very chaotic path. They thought the dictatorship provided more structure. My grandmother-in-law (in her 60s), whose family suffered greatly when Hoxha took over, is one such Albanian who thinks positively of him, despite how the regime treated them. This feels a bit like Stockholm syndrome.
Yes there is.

Ask HN: Where do I search for software engineers in and around Europe?
We need to hire for a bunch of roles, all remote and preferably all somewhere around Europe hours.

I more or less know how to find people in US, but I have no idea how to do it in this case. Are there sites which mostly serve this niche? Or may be (god forbid) I need to hire a recruiter?

Thank you!
When ‘not typical’ is actually the norm for a huge swath of users, perhaps non-typical is not the right term?
I also can not see livestreams. It says "Unstable Network Connection". And I have 2 separate "air gapped" phones and TT accounts - no shared details and both behave the same.

There are lots of conspiracy theories online. However, I think it is just that the process of bringing the stack back up may be difficult. They also have a huge shopping network, that has also been down, and there are emails/communications to shops saying they are working on fixing it. Also, when I take a link from TikTok and post it in a downloader app, it no longer works since the URL is broken.

Maybe some microservices did not come back up (outage), or maybe they were knowingly compromised as part of the extension deal. While I can see that Lives can not be censored, I do not know the reason for shopping to be disabled, so I suspect it is an outage.

[ Actually shopping is also "live", so maybe that's why ]

We will probably find out over the coming days.
He chose the judges.
Well - care to be joined by the Germans? It's the reason I am now living in Japan...
Well, I have access in Files to a lot of content from my apps - that’s a decision of the app creator to not use this and keep the content created in the locked area of the app.

For example, the apps from Omni do this, as do obsidian, Linea…

Let’s assign the blame where it should be here.
He's bragged several times that he saved TikTok. Trump also said the Israeli peace deal wouldn't have happened with him, which is an admission of breaking the law that states you cannot act as president without being president.

But Trump already knows he is above the law, so none of this matters.
> Also, expect to see that Facebook is partnering with TikTok on Monday morning. The head of the bill banning TikTok just invested 100 million in Meta... so I imagine there will be a followup announcement how Trump brokered some deal to Americanize TikTok or something.

Well, that makes this interesting. The bill also allowed a 90-day extension if they found a buyer and were in the process of finalizing it.

This may put this cringe ByteDance stunt and Meta/Zuck's pandering to Trump into more perspective. The Hero coming to save the day with a magical 90-day extension. As long as everyone plays their scripted part. On the other hand, it's probably just a funny timed coincidence that will pass in 3 months

[added] The president would have to approve any sale of apps caught in this law
I don't know but TikTok itself said it was because of him.
I feel like the "past" is a shorter timeline for you than it is for me.

For all the examples mentioned in the parent article, PCs were significantly under-powered compared to workstations, much less main frames.

An explosion of hardware development between 2005 and 2020 has lead to an era where hardware outperformed software needs. Now software is catching up.

But there have always been use cases for high end hardware, and always will be.
That is wild. Enver was a piece of work for sure.
Any violation and associated fine would proceed though court. I assume such a statement of intent would have meaning there.
> one of the supplied examples showed any form of network effect. It was all stuff you did at home.

That's what's wrong with the various "federated" social networks. They lack a network effect that makes them grow.
Chinese here, sorry for my poor English.

I want you to know that the name of the app is '小红书' (小 little 红 red 书 book), and the name of the propaganda tool is '红宝书' (红 red 宝 treasure 书 book).

I don't think there is such a "name after" thing. There are a lot of mixed reviews on Cultual Revolution, a "name after" would bring a lot of risks during the growth of the app.
Nobody cares any more. We’re a long way from making Carter sell his farm. We’re a long way from the integrity of Nixon. We’re a long way from the fidelity of Clinton.

This is what the American people wanted.
As far as CO2 alone is concerned, that is true. The issue is that if you burn a fire cleanly, you (ideally) produce only CO2. If you burn the fire poorly, you produce less CO2 per se, and a _lot_ more particulates, which is bad for air quality. On burn days, the sky is noticeably smoggier all throughout the mountains, and the sunsets are tinted red. I imagine this would have the effect of trapping in daytime heat similarly to how cloudy nights after sunny days are warmer. And since pile burning generally happens during the day, we get an amplified greenhouse effect up here.
Tirana is nice, I suggest to go around for the Blocku (the neighborhood that during the communism was only for the nomenclature) it's really cozy.
Just outside Tirana there is an area with several artificial lakes, you should go there for a relaxing day.
If you have more time, I suggest to visit Girokaster: it's a castle city 2 hours far from Tirana, where Enver Oxha was born.

For food I really suggested a restaurant called Oda, not far from Skanderberg square in Tirana: it's a traditional Albanian house where you can taste all the Albanian dishes.
Natural Loops
You can ask it to generate R or Python code to do the clustering, and review the generated code.

I'm not sure about ChatGPT, but I know Claude has a data exploration thing where you can upload a CSV and ask it questions; it generates Python code and it can be reviewed.
Yeah, but I think part of the point is people don't actually want or need network effects for a lot of things. Even where connection is needed, companies have used it to wedge in stuff that doesn't benefit users.
Sad situation regardless, and my heart goes out to all impacted by this.

Odd that Waymo is even in the headlines here, given its relative non-involvement. That’s click-baity sensationalism; the real story should focus on the people involved.

If anything, it’s more an indication of why autonomous vehicles should gain wider acceptance… this type of thing wouldn’t have happened without a human behind the wheel.

Trump can choose to not enforce the law. That is of course illegal, and a high crime, but who is left to stop him?
> There isn't much we can do, as long as everybody tolerates this.

I don't know if this will be effective in any way, but I've decided to start hosting services for my friends and family out of my closet. It seems that money destroys everything it touches, so it feels nice to be doing something for reasons besides money.

My friends and family are not particularly influential people, but I think it'll be nice to create a little pocket of the world who knows what it was like to not be exploited by their tech.
Show HN: Race Timing with Integrated Replay
Instead of playing video and trying to display timing information next to it, how about we build a simulation based on timing data and become able to determine the state of the race at any given point in time based on the few 'radar blips' of sector loop passes we have?

This is that. It takes the video and timing material of a 24h race (The IMSA Weathertech Sportscar Championship ROLEX24 at Daytona 2024) - 4 videos hosted on YouTube and a big CSV of laptimes and reimagines how a race replay might look like.

It comes with a few non-standard visualizations, and a lot of possibilities for navigation, including navigation based on race events such as flag states, overtakes, pit stops etc.

It's a zig program based on raylib running in the browser thanks to emscripten, with a bit of js glue code to control the YouTube player. Ultimately, controlling replays is just one of the goal features of the tech stack. Live-Timing, Live-broadcast, and broadcast of sim-racing are other application areas where I see this being beneficial.

Race fans, Enjoy, I know I certainly do!
Well, `Mon Jan 20 06:07:07 UTC 2025` does not match `fmt` in the code. My input matches the format string exactly, which is why it works.

You could use `"%a %b %d %H:%M:%S %Z %Y"` for `fmt` (which is indeed the default for `date`) and it would work with yours.

Both results in the same timestamp.

> Production of software is nearly 100% R&D. Making a million copies of a software product has a trivial cost.

Totally. And if you think deployment errors are bad, wait until you see how many production errors exist and how many items out of your line come out working and within spec
In a pile of devices, Apples are non-typical. The number of users is not terribly relevant.

However, sure, lots of users chose Apple knowing exactly what it is. Apple's not going to change since their model clearly appeals to lots of people.

If you don't like Apple's model, then don't choose Apple devices. What everyone else chooses is somewhat irrelevant to you. (Other than network effects noted earlier.)
I really really hope people saying this is a nothingburger is actually right, because I do have a P1S, use orcaslicer, and would like it to continue to work. Hoping this is just a miscommunication.
More fair would have been a restriction based on some framework like...

+ Public forum or utility

+ Userbase greater than 1% of the adult population

= Majority Ownership of corporate division and management, plus regulatory oversight, must be held within country OR a security partnered country (the easiest criteria for that might be they have an obligation to fight along side 'our' troops in some way).

That way it isn't specific about any given platform or company, and it allows anyone trusted as an ally to comprise the ownership or legal jurisdiction.
> The United States here feels entitled to own and run an app used on every continent of the world.

This isn’t correct. The US law only applies to the services provided within the US.

ByteDance could spin out the US userbase while retaining the rest of the userbase. Many US companies already have to do exactly this for their Chinese userbase. Spin it off to a JV with a Chinese partner.

I’m not aware of anyone doing this, but you could even have a content syndication model whereby the global TikTok and the US TikTok share a common pool of content and username reservations so that both services appear global to their users, but with separate companies controlling distribution of their own apps and the recommendation model used to serve content.
India banned TikTok a few years ago. Brazil banned X until it agreed to take down posts in violation of Brazilian law. The European Union fines US-based tech companies frequently.

"Entitlement" in the context of nations is irrelevant. Nations exercise power in accordance with their interests.
See, a good example of lacking IDE experience, that is just one of many Visual Studio debugger capabilities.

You've essentially summarised a key Marxist critique of Capitalism.

What you've described - the need for people to have autonomy, value, and ownership over the work they do - is the core tenet of Marxism.
A depent system is a stable system . If the population has diabetes, it can not riot. If the computing can not be done without a network , you can not plot any systemic change revolution.

One must stop seeing things from a technical tradeoff perspective and start perceiving them from a political stable due to hostages perspective. The arguments make sense because they must.
Of course they have. They want network effects. It's good for lock-in.

If you don't want or need network effects then don't use them.
I am Italian, I know many Albanians and I visited the country too.
As far as I know there is still somebody that feel nostalgia about the dictator, but 90% of the people are really happy about the democracy and they want to join the UE.
Just to give an anedoct: in front of Berat there is a mountain where Oxha wrote with trees his name Enver. After the end of communism, they changed in Never.
One of the concepts I learned in my Philosophy minor was the concept of "biological chauvinism": that an organism is made of meat and cells and neurons of course doesn't mean it is intelligent, and if an organism isn't made of meat doesn't make it not intelligent.
> Let’s assign the blame where it should be here.

Obviously the blame lies on Apple for locking away your device's contents from you. Developers should not be able to have more control over what you can access on your device than you do. Even if they make bad choices (like making accessing the files hard) it should be you who has the final say, not them.

Apple making it possible for developers to make bad choices and go against users' control over their own devices is to blame.
flashforge is pretty good and by design easy to root.

Serial scammers: "No, not like that!"
Not sure what you mean by that, but my last trip was last year, and it was new models also. Mercedes is like the Theme there. Most lovable car in Albania.
Indeed. You cannot release a patch for a mechanical part or a PCB.
The economy was also wildly different back then - there were massive, fundamental, competitive advantages the US was continuing to reap due to being on the winning side of WW2 (in every way).

For instance, nearly every country was paying the US loans back, in USD, or was having to depend on the US in some way.

Nearly every other country in the world had their industrial base (and often male population) crushed in the war.

Etc.

Those things cost money/effort, and require a consistent identity and discipline.
They very much do not. TikTok maintains it doesn't push certain content over other based on direction from the CCP (unfalsifiable), and most people believe them. Or are unaware.

There is such a thing as protecting people from threats they don't know about or understand.
Isn't it also an income issue?

I'm from EU and would be totally open to move to UK if there was an opportunity to make more there while working on something cool. But there simply isn't?

Then there are US startups where I could likely make 2 or 3x what I make in EU or UK.

So why would talent every consider moving to the UK to build a startup in 2025 anyway?
We should form a club - even though I came here from Germany...

A father of a guy that I know was an engineer and he was part of the team that designed the highway between Tirana and Valona.
Enver decided to arrest all of them because they were conspiring against the state and the highway was just a landing area for US airplanes to invade the country.
He was really paranoid about this stuff
Well yes and no. There's no existing network (for something new), so certainly there's no network effect making them grow.

On the other hand the pitch to get people to join is weak. I don't pitch it to my friends because (currently) its a pretty poor experience compared to what they are already using.
> because 3d printing is not there yet

Ya, it is, and it’s been there for quite a while now thanks to Bambu.

The X1 just works. Coming up on a year of frequent use, I can count the number of failed prints on one hand. It’s incredible.
They’re roughly 18% of the phone market (as percent of users), but 68% of the market as a share of revenue.

They are hardly irrelevant, especially if you like money.

> Corporations are simply a group of humans.

This is incorrect, and it's obvious with even a little bit of reflection.

Corporations are effectively unkillable, for starters. No corporate charter has been revoked since the 19th c. iirc.

Corporations cannot be jailed, for another, and extend their limited liability protection to the people under their umbrella. So corporations have way more latitude to commit crimes and escape punishment than a human.

Corporations lack human morality. In fact, if you believe in fiduciary duty, corporations can, and have been, sued for failing to pursue profit above all else. In a corporation, this is "good"; in a human, this is psychopathic. And the humans making these decisions enjoy diffusion of accountability.

In fact, this distinction between humans and corporations was well understood back in the day; it wasn't until court decisions like Santa Clara County vs Southern Pacific Railroad, that the fiction of corporate "personhood" really took off.

> Nobody is "providing megacorporations with unpaid labor".

That's literally what FOSS used by AWS is. Unless Amazon employs you, they didn't pay for it. You might not personally mind it, but it's still unpaid labor by definition.

> Not one person is harmed if Amazon takes my open source project and uses it to turn a profit, even if they make it into closed source.

Again, your personal opinions are not universally shared. Lots of people are trying to do FOSS, pay their bills at the same time, and don't want to work for a FAANG. They're most definitely harmed by free-riders who could be paying, like AWS.

Even worse, I suspect that all the free hobbyist FOSS labor artificially depresses dev salaries, hurting everyone else. Otherwise, the FAANGs would have to hire people to replicate what they currently get for free.

So while it's fun, and I certainly do my own fair share of FOSS, I'd prefer a completely different license environment. Honestly, I'd love to see a switch to noncommercial/commercial distinction. I'm not sure AGPL/commercial dual-licensing cuts it.
