> But assuming a Japanese child will have patience where an American will not is the same weird thought that leads to weird guys wanting Japanese wives for 'obedience.'
You are making several jumps in logic to get from A -> B.
Japan has an education system which teaches the importance of certain values, patience and self-discipline among them.
Here is the short-film "Instruments of a Beating Heart" currently on the Oscars shortlist about this very point -
Pretty sure that's not how the maths worked out, but rather $2 is the amount that would cover the cost of running the service based on data of existing customer usage levels.
That's not always the case depending on the different levers that are pulled designing these chips. Focusing on burst performance sometimes/often end up being less efficient as boosting to higher clocks require higher voltages. Process and architectural improvements that yield increases in efficiency is balanced with how much extra burst performance we can wring out of the design, which is a big part of the article's argument.
This is interesting. How much difference is it (in cost, quality) by using this approach compared to taking a image capture of the page and then sending it off to a multi modal LLM?
Good question, I actually haven't tried it with the image capture approach. I'll give that a shot and see how it performs. I'm planning to try many different AI extractors, and see which performs best.
So far, I've done some un-scientific testing to compare text vs. HTML. Text is a lot more effective on a per-token basis, and therefore lower cost. However, some data is only available in HTML.
>It is absolutely everybody's job in the company to make sure it is profitable, unless you work for a non-profit.
To generalise this, it's everyone's job to create value. This may or may not result in profit, but ultimately aligns with the goals of the organisation.
Nothing you can't do before has been affected, given that you were never able to post anything on TikTok that would be seen in China. It is not accessible in China, as Bytedance only operates Douyin there. The two systems are completely separate content-wise.
I don't follow your argument. In what way are you affected now and why? My understanding is that 1. You moved from China to the US yourself willing since some time ago and 2. There is no US equivalent of the GFW and this legislation doesn't change that.
I just don't see how this law will affect your ability to converse with others on Chinese social media.
OK, let me reword. I still can converse with others on Chinese social media, but I will have a harder time convincing them that GFW is a bad idea or that the China's government is wrong restricting speech. Because people not already convinced will point to the US banning TikTok and ask me how China's actions are different. The distinction between the two is subtle, and frankly, while the US actions do not violate the First Amendment, it does breach the underlying principles. I have no convincing argument for them.
Ok, that's more clear on what your point is. The US is not banning TikTok technically like the GFW, they are just de-platforming it so it is no longer commercially active.
This is very different from the GFW, and many orders of magnitude less restrictive.
This issue isn't about speech and censorship, but media ownership. These rules has always been in place in many Western countries precisely because of the impact it has on society (even beyond geopolitics).
That's true, but when I had a hard time convincing them when the US were the *perfect* model of no speech restrictions, it's much harder when US is just less restrictive. They will just dismiss such difference in quantity as cultural difference, rather than different principles when China and US had qualitative differences.
Yes, I understand your point, but it is also moot, because even with the first amendment in the US, Free Speech is not absolute. There are limits to freedom - i.e. the right for you to swing your fists ends at the tip of my nose.
Ethernet switches keep track of which ports have which MAC addresses behind them. This is stored in the CAM table of a layer 2 switch. When duplicate entries occur, this result in MAC address flapping and switches have different ways of handling this, which may result in network instability.
If the license is not tied to a physical object that you can safekeep, then it has none of the traditional benefits of ownership as you can only exercise your license through a stack that others make available. That's the real issue here.
I know. Unless the company has made a perpetual accessible portal/download thing where you can obtain your licensed product forever, it's doomed to fail sometime.
Mediums like discs (cd, dvd, blu-ray, etc) are usually defined as a assistance to make it easy for the consumer to actually use the licensed content (play the movie, install the game). However, these disc deteriorate over time and you may end up with a license, but no data.
I had XFS eat some data once. I somehow got it into a state where it wouldn't mount and wouldn't fsck. Luckily for me it was "just" my backup disk, so after a week of fighting with it I just gave up and reformatted (as ext4) and didn't end up losing much. Was eye opening though. I'd rather have a slightly less featureful fs that I have a chance of recovering…
I've had really bad experiences with fat32 and xfat... back in the day it was pretty common to lose data due to hard drive or filesystem bullshit.
In any case, I was a technology journo at the time this happened, and I covered this story, but I don't recall encountering a lot of technical discussion... it seemed to be mostly "ew this guy murdered his wife". Which is entirely deserved. (If a little unfair to the creative work)
I wasn't much of a programmer yet so maybe I wasn't looking at the right discussions.
