Like in reCAPTCHA (v2 at least) where it asks users to click on tiles to identify common objects like bridges or motorcycles. Surely one could conjure up a fake version of this.
my bad I misred I thought this was for the H1B which I read had a fixed quota hope all goes well with your application
does this mean if you change your citizenship to a low population country by paying 100k and then applying it would speed up the process? or does USCIS have some law that prevents that
Knowledge work is made up (literally). It's all tasks that humans have created for themselves. We invented the maths, the programming languages, the spreadsheet software, the government form – everything.
The real world is very much not made up (especially if you're nonreligious). Most of the tasks are sampled from a distribution we did not invent and that means they might be much, much harder.
I think supersonic airliners might even be thinking too small. If we scaled speed like we did transistors, then if an Intel 4004 is like walking, an M2 Max would be like going 0.28c (c = speed of light)!
It looked interesting, until I got to the egress cost. Ouch. $100 per TB is way too much if you're using bandwidth-intensive apps.
Meta-comment: it's getting really hard to find hosting services that provide true unlimited bandwidth. I want to do video upload/download in our app, and I'm struggling to find providers of managed servers that would be willing to provide me with fixed price for 10/100GB ports.
ISP immunity has absolutely nothing to do with this case, which is a regulatory law having to do with foreign ownership of media corporations. In point of fact TikTok, like all ISPs, relies on section 230 safe harbor to serve their user-generated content without repercussion.
> Shutting down communications platforms or forcing their reorganization based on concerns of foreign propaganda and anti-national manipulation is an eminently anti-democratic tactic, one that the US has previously condemned globally.
These platforms are fundamentally anti-democratic in their very nature, increasingly so in the age of LLMs. They're places where people buy a voice and the illusion of support by astroturfing the platform and/or manipulating the algorithm (either through paid advertisements or by owning a platform and controlling the algorithm outright). They're places where a small minority of people can become an unstoppable movement that seems to have real support, sucking gullible voters in to join the growing "consensus".
In short, these platforms are places for manufacturing consent. The only sense in which banning one is anti-democratic is that it's selectively applied to tiktok instead of to all such platforms.
Interesting that the reference linked is in reference to must-carry regulation. The tiktok scenario is the opposite though? Must-not-carry that content! I suppose Uncle Sam's sword cuts both ways.
That's a really distorted view of the situation. For a lot of these guys, de-banking was the last straw. Fact is, Biden/Harris overplayed their hand by trying to force feed woke left ideology and DEI mandates on tech CEOs.
Literally there are countless things. Firstly, the app is pinging TikTok servers all day so as you move throughout the world, your IP is changing and betraying your location. Your location reveals your social graph and movement patterns, who you associate with, and where you spend the night.
People watch all sorts of content on TikTok including sexual/sensual content. While they are watching alone in their rooms, all their usage patterns are recorded in intimate details and they reveal all their sexual proclivities. That is quite easy fodder for blackmail.
Health information can often easily be gleaned from people's watch history. If you know people are struggling with their mental or physical health, or are having financial troubles, these are all things that can be used as leverage for blackmail.
I wonder if they recover the sodium and run it back through the process.
For that matter, could you maybe put sodium in a sealed container and then heat the whole container? Like a sodium vapor lamp but causing it to glow by throwing heat at it instead of passing electricity through it.
You can try using online services with best models. With prices like $1 for 10K requests it's hard to make local competitive solution. I'm going to use this approach in my personal projects.
No, that’s about “SpaceX learning from NASA’s past mistakes”. You also don’t seem to get the point that they were 2-year old programs when Curiosity started, so I’ll just leave it here.
The best part about adamantly making such a claim is that anybody who knows better also knows better than to break NDA and pull a Warthunder to prove that the CSPs do use colo facilities, so you're not going to get anyone who knows better to disagree with you and say AWS S3 or GCP compute is colo-ed at a specific colo provider.
While this was helpful and well done, I find it incredibly amusing that after I popped in my email, I was hit with very similar dark patterns trying to get me to pay for a Substack subscription, follow people, and share it.
I wrote a small library called keepcalm (https://crates.io/crates/keepcalm) to assist with shared and shared mutable data, which both tend to take a decent amount of effort to get right the first time through.
It turns out that the abstractions are actually performant enough that I never had to remove them from two projects I started using them in.
For most people, a SharedMut or Shared wrapper (or the underlying Arc+Mutex) is sufficient to get you most of the way to prototyping and beyond, based on my experiences.
Sentiments on Luigi seem to put him on the same level as Rosa Parks or Jesus Christ if not higher both on HN and Reddit but that is ancedotal
Could you say a bit more about the politics? this is very fascinating idk much about insurance or politics
This may be super simplistic but Europe, if you look at it at a high level, is as diverse as US states if not more because a lot of places have multi party systems instead of a two party system with comparable diverse interest groups and comparable GDP etc
What did they figure out to have insurance that the US can't? Or doesn't want to?
How would you know?
