The comment I replied to was referring to scraping data from web sites, which is also an issue that people have with AI training. Feeding pirated torrents to an AI is a different process.
Isn't that clearly not the case here? How has TikTok shown any movement towards selling.
It's interesting that merely asking someone to explain their justifications for something, without even outright criticizing it or Rust itself, is enough to net downvotes in Rust threads.
for the last several thousand years it's been a matter of survival, a help in the fields and your social security, and with a crazy high mortality, had to have many

it's objectively hard work that nowadays may not even pay off at all, aside from this feelings part, which to me always has been balanced out with acute paranoia about being responsible for a fragile live human.
Again, I understand that in the short term Musk is fine with this. But I continue to wonder, how can Tesla as a corporate entity, be fine with initiatives which will hurt them, even if they hurt their opposition too?

This is my appeal to naked greed: How can this be "good" for an EV manufacturer, to have a lead shareholder poison the well they drink in and live by?

I don't get it.
I dont think its good for anyone that the executive just says it won't enforce a law.
And yet the paragraphs I cited from the very article you keep linking dispute that statement.

Again, I cite:

>To be impeached, a President or other federal official must have committed one of the violations described by the Constitution as “treason, bribery, or other high crimes and misdemeanors.” But history shows that if a President is to be impeached, the biggest factor may be political will — whether members of a President’s own party are willing to turn against him, and whether enough members of Congress believe that trying to remove the President is worth the risk of losing popular support.

>To impeach an official, the House of Representatives must pass articles of impeachment, which formally accuse the President of misbehavior. Once the House votes to impeach, the Senate must hold a trial to decide if the President should be removed from office.

Further, citing Clause 6 of Article 1 from the Constitution[1] (emphasis mine):

>The Senate shall have the sole Power to try all Impeachments.

A President (or former President) is only "impeached" if he is found guilty by the Senate of the charge(s) levied against him by the House. To date that has never occured, all impeachment trials against a President to date have concluded in acquittals.

Factually, there has never been an impeached President in American history.

The use of the term "impeached" to mean a President tried for impeachment is confusing and misleading, perhaps deliberately so given the individuals concerned in all the impeachment trials.

Multi-generational families with tighter communities spreading the work.

My parents grew up spending a lot of time with their aunts and uncles. I grew up with my parents because they didn't have extended family or friends that could help. Now my generation, I see at least more "family circles" sharing in child care (eg Friday sleepovers at one rotating family, so the other parents can go out). I can't imagine how easy it would be if more grandparents were nearby.

Plus it was just cheaper to live back then. Now the norm is both parents work full time to stay barely above water economically, maximizing shareholder value.
How's it lose-lose?

Companies can now get away with anything so long as they pay the president a bribe and publicly say "thank you for saving the world." The only way to lose is to not transparently do some easy butt-kissing. And most Americans love watching the corruption. It makes you a good team player.
What is their hangup with selling 50%, really? They’ll be rich!
That only applies if it happened before January 19th. That's why his 75 day EO just says they won't go after companies who violate the law, rather than say he's using the 90 day extension provided in the law (because it's too late to use that).

Some of the media isn't picking up on this nuance, but it's clear that's why it's a 75 day lack of enforcement, not a 90 day extension.
Google also operates a book store, like Amazon. Both could process a one-off to pay their authors, and then draw from their own backend.

Maybe I'm too old, but I DO NOT understand the TikTok livestreams of people sleeping, obvious pre-recorded video, etc...and people sending gifts constantly.

The "creator fund" incentivized just posting a lot, sharing, and once Tiktok shop was introduced almost every other video is someone talking about "Tiktok shop made a mistake on pricing buy this item". Shills all of them. I don't think being a "creator" on TikTok should be a "job" for people.
Nope. That's new. wow. A big change in vibe/look right out the gate. Uggh.
Not even that long:

The law was rushed through before; he could ram through a law canceling the original. As with the original, no research would be required and so theoretically could be signed law by the weekend if desired.
Makes me suspect if the primary plateau is data, and we're now seeing a place where all the AI labs who are actually having a crack at this seem to have similar levels of quality data to train on. Layering in chain of thought and minor architectural changes doesn't seem to be giving anyone a truly groundbreaking lead.
Does America have laws anymore? Do laws even matter if the President can simply pardon anyone who breaks the law?
So the real magic is the clock mechanism, these guys bolted a 60:90 gear pair and called it a day. How about some kudos to the engineers that made the clock and the company that made them. They can then say to their friends / family, hey one of my clocks is in space. Lots of glory to go around.
I hope that the Trump administration will continue supporting Ukraine and not try to force them into an unfavorable temporary peace settlement, but the US isn't essential. Other NATO and EU countries are fully capable of keeping Ukraine in the fight, if they want to make it a priority. They might have to cut back some of their social spending and agricultural subsidies to afford it.

Russia will never completely run out of materiel, but they have already exhausted most of their stockpiles of good stuff. At this point they've been reduced to using refurbished armored vehicles built in the 1950s and modified civilian cars along parts of the front.

I suffer from confirmation bias in this, but the Japanese women I know all live outside mainland Japan, and are mostly in mixed marriages with non-Japanese men and to a woman they say childbirth in Japan, and expectations on new mothes in Japan are net-negative compared to the english-speaking west, with some small things the other way. Aspects of family mean they are more likely to have a support network in Japan, and there are quite a lot of good child friendly social experiences for them. None of them said the birth experience in Japanese Maternity Hospitals was good, or as good as in the west.

The birth rate problem in the developed economies is not just a Japanese problem, but if this biased view is true, more generally accurate, it cannot help: Why would you want to have kids, if its a shit experience?

Free daycare is sensible but I suspect they will have to start 9 months back in the flow pipe, and also do some things around labour laws for return-to-work.
Because devs can disable precommit hooks much more easily than they can work around CO.

I see precommit hooks as where you avoid the low-hanging fruit, like “is this code actually parsable?”
What a misanthropic world view.

How about we make it easier for people who want kids to have them, and we stop vilifying people who don’t want kids?

There are many ways to contribute to society. Some of the kindest most selfless people I know don’t want kids. It’s fine, humanity will manage.
That is 1 of 3 certifications that had to happen in the past.
A lot of people can afford nannies. I think it’s more that parents want to raise their kids really well. As opposed to, “what happens, happens.” So naturally you want to do that yourself.
> AMD already has major ongoing projects with OpenXLA/IREE.

And how's that been going? The AMD stock price compared to NVidia seems to speak volumes about the efficacy of these projects.

IREE has been around for 5 years, without producing anything overtly practical. They seem to be focused more on academic jobs and citations. It's also focused on the general case of a compiler for "all" AI-type tasks, supporting everything from WASM to CUDA.

OpenXLA seems to be a bit more practical, but I spent the last 2 hours trying to make it work on my AMD card (Radeon Pro W7900) and failing.

I personally don't like Tinygrad's approach of doing their own thing rather than integrating into PyTorch/JAX/..., but it at least is _practical_ with a reasonable end-goal. Is it going to be successful? Who knows. But it's more practical than anything AMD has done within the recent 5 years.
The current copyright system is clearly broken. Copyright itself is not a natural right but a construct that was created relatively recently to incentivize innovation within society. Currently, we still want to train models using copyrighted materials. What we don’t want, however, is for companies to use these materials without giving back, especially to the content creators themselves, such as book authors, publishers, Stack Overflow answer writers, and Stack Overflow as a platform. We need to find a way to properly compensate these contributors to keep book writing, answer writing, and other creative efforts going, preferably while keeping the content publicly accessible. In the future, I hope we can figure out a model that might draw inspiration from music streaming (though perhaps not exactly like it).
What if you love blue cheese. I freaking love blue cheese.
We’re seeing a clear divide where both competitive gamers and hackers are retreating into their own ecosystems, away from public matchmaking. Public matchmaking has simply become too optimized/lucrative to sustain trust or meaningful competition.
Private matchmaking and closed communities are thriving, raising the average skill ceiling in competitive. Similarly, hacking communities are evolving with easier forms of payment and distribution. The monetary aspects are huge. But most importantly, both cultures push each away. Your persona of someone who plays with integrity and crosses the competitive and hacker mentality is pretty much gone.
This law is not about protecting us from the harms of social media, and it doesn't even literally ban TikTok; so this framing of it being whackamole is missing the point.

What we really need is strong data privacy laws and child development guided policies. But that's not the point of the law either.
>Sure. However, my point is that this is not fair use (at least in cases where it’s an LLM operated for profit), so other principles need to be applied.

This isn't a complete argument. Most of AI companies' argument relies on the fact that AI models are "transformative". That's a plausible claim, and as Perfect 10 v. Google, and Authors Guild, Inc. v. Google, Inc. has shown, being a for-profit company is hardly a disqualification from getting fair protection.
>Unfortunately, the US customer doesn't want EVs so we're kinda capped. You could imagine a forcing function beyond the tax credit but clearly politically that is off the table for awhile.

Because American EVs are astronomical in price due to no competition.
DeepSeek R1 Overthinking a Simple Problem
I think multi generation housing helped where older generations took care of the child when parents were working, that both parents were not necessarily working, and that kids did not need constant supervision in the sense that they could be left to run around as long as you lived outside major urban centers.

Weeks? Try years. As a parent of a newborn, I can confidently say that my wife hasn't had a full night's sleep for even one night since the kid was born in early July - she watches the kid at night (we live in a one bedroom apartment with the crib in our room - it affects me, too, but I try to tune it out and focus on sleep, as breadwinner). She also watches the kid all day while I work (9-11 hours). She's drained. I don't see this getting any easier for at least 12 months. It's a long road.

We don't have family to support us and we can't afford childcare. So, that's our situation. Not complaining, just saying - it's not weeks of a little bit less sleep. It's chronically interrupted sleep for months, maybe years (according to Dr. Ferber), with severe affects to hormonal regulation and mood and weight.

> this result could have been even better achieved another way.

Don't you have "decades of effort" to resolve this wonder?
I disagree.

Actual food, meaning plants, animals, fungus is one thing.

Novel chemical substances should IMHO be guilty until proven innocent.

I realize there's a grey area between say, a plant, and some chemical isolated from the plant. There is a spectrum of whole fresh plant, dried plant, powdered plant, and then chemically isolated constituent of the plant powder. There are useful distinctions to make along that spectrum. And eating quantities of an extracted chemical from a plant that would be impossible to consume by eating the whole plant is one such useful distinction. (e.g. I could extract cyanide from apple seeds and concentrate it, and kill myself, when there's no way I could eat enough whole apples to kill myself with the cyanide.)

But synthetic chemicals not found in nature are entirely outside of that spectrum.
Facebook is way more harmful than TikTok. TikTok has never caused a genocide, but Facebook has [1].

In October 2021, Frances Haugen, a former Facebook product manager, came forward as a whistleblower, and revealed that Facebook consistently prioritized profit over user safety and public good. She stated that internal documents showed the company was aware of its platforms being used to spread hate, misinformation, and violence but chose to hide this evidence to maintain user engagement and revenue. She asserted that Facebook's algorithms favored content that generated anger and division, which in turn increased user engagement.

The revelations forced Facebook to clean up its act — and lose revenue in the process — but now Zuckerberg is going back to inciting genocides for profit.

Facebook is the app we should be banning.

From my limited experience, it refers to the act of reverse engendering the function (signatures) contained the code of a binary.

A binary, like the underlying code, has commonly used code split into functions that may get called in multiple places. These calls can be analyzed either through static analyzers or by a human, who may analyze context of the callsite to guess what each Arg is supposed to do/be.

For modding, e. G. in a single player game, one might want to find out where the engine adjusts the health points of a player or updates progress.

>If you know the Russians are jamming GPS then what's the difference at this point?

"Why even bother if the chance of success is less than 100%"

Ukrainian attacks are very frequently successful despite GPS jamming and air defense. And vice versa.

>Just to be clear I'm not claiming the Russians are the good guys and the Ukranians are the bad guys. I'm just pointing out it's not as simple as someone did something bad in a war.

I have yet to see any videos of Ukrainian soldiers filming themselves laughing while using a knife to slowly decapitate a live prisoner. Or cut their balls off. Or put their decapitated heads on spikes. Or execute a dozen Russian POWs at a time

Ukrainian TV channels don't expound on the need to kill "as many as 2 million civilians" to denazify their opponent the way that Russian TV does fairly regularly. I've not seen any Ukrainians wave around the skull of a Russian killed in Russia live on stage at a metal concert.
This won't work and it is fine. Nothing is permanent, world population has fallen considerably in other times in history.
Yeah, the GDP will probably drop, but necessarely the per capita GDP. Yeah, a falling GDP is not good news for people who lend money and expect compound interest over a long horizon of time, some defaults will happen, probably we would end up having to forgive some debts and writing off a lot of stuff, but so what?
This gets the causality backwards. TikTok et al. is the ring of power and not banning or regulating it will cause the negative side effects on civic society to deepen, further speedrunning the death of liberalism and the very freedoms you're trying to protect. This is the clichéd paradox of tolerance. Sometimes you have to do seemingly illiberal things, like locking up murderers, or breaking up concentrated media ownership, or banning free speech when it comes to defamation and libel, etc., to protect the liberal project from destruction. Social media, especially large platforms owned by single people, is so new that the law just hasn't had time to catch up. As the law finally catches up, don't interpret that as an assault on liberal values. It's not.
I think that's unlikely because:

1) Every author I've seen discuss this technology completely despises it. Using it to write your book is a reputational risk.

2) Putting the words on the paper isn't the hard part. I can imagine many authors wouldn't use this tech even if it was morally and socially okay because they care about whether their voice is getting through in their work.
Idk, I love children and being able to comfort kids back to sleep makes me more happy and not annoyed, I’d choose children over a better vacation or a car, I’m not sure why our generation in most countries stopped caring about children.

Until this, people would dedicate their lives to their kids, children were the most important thing in people’s lives, everything from friends, to outings, to day to day life, would revolve around the child’s best interests and wants.

I’m not sure why this link broke, across every major country. Was it the internet ? What was it, even people from less fortunate backgrounds are having fewer kids, like a LOT LESS, what changed, its not about religion, even the religious are having fewer kids (more than non-religious) but still fewer,

It’s truly a big question, my guess is it has something to do with, increasing the avg age of marriage by 10 yrs from 20 to 30, and making pre-marital sex available in-cheap for everyone, before you’d need to get married to be able to sleep with the opposite gender.
> It’s unclear whether Trump can legally pause the TikTok ban.

Irrespective of my political leaning, Trump's legal scenarios have made me learn more about how the U.S. government works and question hypothetical scenarios that I'd never thought of before. Can a non-member be the speaker of the house? How did the Gulf of Mexico get its name? What procedures are official rules vs. just customary? What does it truly mean to be "impeached"? It's given me a new perspective on how laws are written and appreciation for how rules are defined for future generations.
Agreed. Sounds like you're definitely a candidate (or have already read) for the two books I mentioned and I'll add "The Venetian Empire" by Jan Morris, and anything by Peter Brown, John Julius Norwich, and Roger Crowley to the pile. Better than fiction. Oh, and "Ghost on the Throne" by James Romm, which shares an abbreviation and more with Martin's fantasy.
