You can travel to Xinjiang and witness for yourself whether religious people and minorities live in daily fear of concentration camps and organ harvesting. There are no special travel restrictions beyond standard country-wide visa requireme

You ought to travel to China and tell these things (just the parts about China and Taiwan, Russia/Korea etc irrelevant) to locals. In private, in a place with no cameras and no other onlookers, just to sooth your paranoia. People will

Go travel to lower tier cities and rural places in China. The development those places have gotten in the past decade are huge. Go talk to regular people ask them to compare 10 years ago with now.

I find western obsession with "being able to critique X" very weird because it stops at just that. There's very little attention paid to whether the critique produces useful outcomes. While cost of living, energy scarcity, em

That's only for normal RAM. I'm talking about broader aspect: HBM shortage and high prices have been around for longer, and Chinese manufacturers are also climbing up and expanding there.

I've found FTSE5 not useful for serious fuzzy or subword full text search. For example I have documents saying "DaemonSet". But if the user searches for "Daemon" then there will be no results.

You are right. I assumed it would be full of junk like most meat substitute products. But I took a look at the ingredients list of the Dutch version, it seems the preservative (potassium lactate) is the only problem, everything else seems a

And how would they be able to "push stuff down people's throats" if people could walk away towards alternatives? When such alternatives don't exist, that's exactly how "they do stuff for free and nobody else is

I think it's quite ironic that everybody nowadays complains about Wayland and the "good old days" of X. Back in the day, everybody and their dog complained about X being "archaic", "slow", "takes 20 o

Except they don't turn on those new coal plants all the time, they use them as peakers. You know, when the sun is not shining and wind is not blowing.

I actually seriously want to hear about good use cases. So far I haven't found anything: either I don't trust the agent with the access because too many things can go wrong, or the process is too tailored to humans and I don'

You can by marrying a Chineze citizen. It won't make you a citizen, but you can get long term residence permit, and your children will be Chinese citizen. They don't do naturalisation of foreigners, that's true. You can only

So what even if that is true? You confirmed that it improved upon what he could manually produce, which is still a win. It doesn't always make sense to pay $20000 to a professional author to turn it into a masterpiece.

Why is this AI writing accusation necessary? Plenty of humans write this way. Have you ever read pre-AI content marketing articles? If you've learned a bunch content marketing advise then you'll see those patterns that you now ass

Are you sure you really learn slower in your 40s due to biological decline? I have the feeling my lower speed is mostly due to circumstances: too many life responsibilities and too little focus time.

I'm gonna be contrarian here and disagree: the text looks fine to me. In my opinion, comments like "my eyes start to bleed when reading this LLM slop" says more about those readers' inclinations to knee-jerk than the tex

There is, mlock() or mlockall(), but it requires developer support. I wish there is an administrator knob that allows me to mark whole processes without needing to modify them.

One pet peeve I have with virtual memory management on Linux is that, as memory usage approaches 100%, the kernel starts evicting executable pages because technically they're read-only and can be loaded from disk. Thus, the entire syst

I don't get this HN worship of Qt. Have you ever used Qt apps on macOS? They don't feel native at all. They feel sort-of native-emulating in the same way wxWidgets apps on macOS feel: they use native controls but all the little de

If there is no value in newer Tailwind versions, then why would anybody upgrade past 1.0? Clearly there is value that you don't recognize. I mean, I'm not a Tailwind user so I don't either. But it's incredibly easy to ta
