Is it still true that Apple bans you from telling users, in app, they can pay through alternative platforms?

> sometimes use tiktok > use it regularly

That's not how these words work. A reasonable person wouldn't think these phrases are interchangeable when taking about something addictive -- in this case TicTok. Someone who "smokes sometimes" and someone who "smokes regularly" are very different groups. This isn't an attack; I understand you now, I'm just trying to get you to see where I was coming from.

> Like I already said I ... that I never experienced before.

You had not said that yet, you just said I said you were wrong.

> this was entirely different and coincided in time with the complaints of censorship.

If you think this statement isn't reasonably interpreted as you implying and leaning in to, or in the very least encouraging, this conspiracy theory, then I think you are being disingenuous.

I was trying to provide helpful information by giving someone who only "sometimes" uses tiktok some assurance that these changes are typical.

Thanks. Though I do admit that my swipe back at them about "touching grass" was out of line.

Because this exact conspiracy has been going on since the elections for 2020. And it's well known and documented. Are you essentially asking me why I wouldn't encouFrage a conspiracy theory based on the anecdote of someone who says they hardly use the platform they are suggesting is forcing propaganda/censorship on them?

There are polarizing events getting more coverage right now, by far, than anything else in the USA, and HN user infecto is subscribing to the idea that the algorithm isn't going to try to check if these important ongoing events interest them.

It's very unlikely that "this time might be different"; the far more likely answer is that this is run-of-the-mill algorithm exploration injection.

Infecto replied me I said "you are wrong". I didn't. My original comment was assuring, in good faith, made to let them know that TikTok changing theit FYP feed is normal. They hadn't yet mentioned they already knew about algo resets and that they were leaning in to the conspiracies. Their reply to me was not in good faith, and did not respond to the strongest possible interpretation of what I originally commented.

I said you were right. You might need to go touch grass man.

[Edit]: I shouldn't have made the "touch grass" comment. Sorry.

It does this all the time. I think it is called "exploration injection". It increases engagement by trying to prevent boredom.

I had this realization some time last year that subscription apps pricing is a race to the bottom: free.

Will have to find ways of providing value outside of technology, as the technology parts, AI not included (it will cost money), will be free. We'll probably need to sell some sort of human connection/personality or tangible goods to make money in apps.

Meanwhile, YUM foods is probably working overtime trying to find a way to work around the effects of GLP-1.

JS could have had support for SIMD and 64 bit it's by now, and progress was actually being made (mostly just through the asm.js experiments), but it was deprioritized specifically to work on WASM.

Kale is a vegetable. So yes.

We do care. We REALLY don't want AI on by default on our PCs.

Are you looking at the wrong website?

David Bars, while not even close to anything resembling a whole food, have made hitting macros so much easier. End up being cheaper than chicken, per gram of protein per calorie, sometimes too!

The administration putting out the "eat more meat" guidance is simultaneously telling everyone they need to work out. The recommendation seems consistent when their started goal is to change current "American" habits.

And none of that, if true, matters in the slightest to most of America because they otherwise wouldn't be able to afford these foods.

And costs significantly more money.

The "... just let me know if there is anything else you'd like to know." after every long-winded explanation is so infuriating.

Are you using the same models and thinking levels for each?

I too have found Codex better than Copilot, even for simple tasks. But I don't have the same models available since my work limits the models in copilot to the stupid ones.

Naming things is hard. So hard every AI company isn't even trying to come up with good names.

Wait. Why? What prompted this? The phrasing?

In the US, yes.

Only like $400 million per fab.

State of the art lithography currently uses extreme ultraviolet, which is 13.5nm. So maybe they are EUV laser-focused, just with many mirrors pointing it in 5 different directions?

I don't mind the icons, but the snow effect on the website makes it much harder to read.

Great point!

Yeah, I'm not seeing fast uncached times either. I usually hit Cloudflare's Miami datacenter, which is only about 200 miles and very low latency. But I'm seeing 200+ms on this site right now.

I only meant in this example. I agree, sites in general are fat.

But now it's that fast from almost everywhere on the planet, with nearly zero effort from the developer. We've been limited by light speed here, not compute.

Most front end engineers could do it in JS without ever having to look something up. But the CSS to do it is still obscure to most.

Huh. I know hundreds that use LLMs in a VSCode based IDE, and 3 that use the CLI.
