The frequent diesel semi fires have created far more delays and done far more damage to California roadways and overpasses. Each fire is unique in what they emit, how long they burn, and how long clearance takes. Fuel fires can have much la

Amazing, thanks for this. Mind sharing more details? Would be very interested in info on prompts, how you iterated, etc. Thank you!

The article is surprisingly flimsy on details and heavy on fact-obfuscation and reliance on anonymous sources. I’m left with the same level of uncertainty as I began with.

That kind of assumes Oracle is lying about the data they host and control for the US instance of TikTok, or that Oracle is unable to secure said data. A few things are curious to me about all of this, which leads me to believe it’s politica

Your statement about an excuse for bad tech is factually wrong. The X edge teams were indeed responding to quite a number of well coordinated ddos attempts. Arelion, GTT, and a number of other carriers have been assisting in blackholing.

By CEO, let’s infer company, although I’m assuming you’re referring to Elon Musk specifically given his recent decision. Yes, a company can ban devices from the office. Our companies do so in the offices working on sensitive matters. No pho

While this is an article from March, this has been going on for multiple years. For a short time I reported some of them as “supporting terrorism” or “promotes violence” to get them to a human reviewer faster. Occasionally they were acted o

Ok I’ll bite. What are they doing in the US that would cause the company to be thrown in jail for life in China?

While it’s slowly been heading this direction for a while, for me LinkedIn has been really the last (mostly) decent place to maintain a professional network and share and explore interests. I think part of the reason is (most) people are no

Except that the US operations for TikTok USDS are under the control and review of both a separate business unit, incorporated and independently run in the US, -and- Oracle. Oracle is signing their name to the data protections and controls a

Agreed. It is rather alienating to a demographic and large numbers of business owners that both parties desperately want to connect with. I kind of think this will churn in the courts for a long time, and achieve only ill will.

This def needs more attention, and YouTube needs to make this configurable. It’s been a topic of conversation at work this week, and several of my coworkers are YT Premium subs on the verge of cancelling.

The general sentiment I’ve seen from those within Tesla explaining it is that FSD is “just” the marketing name, and it is a set of capabilities in beta under active development to achieve and improve on its full set of capabilities. What’s

Dang. RIP. Rainbows End has a special place in my heart. As a teen a buddy and I used to explore the UCSD tunnels and labs at night and let our imaginations run wild about what we’d see.

I was wondering what those were triggered by. I actually thought it was a shady attempt to get you to come back and engage. I got several soon after submitting my data deletion request.

Perhaps they are trying to reconstitute into something more like LinkedIn. Whatever the case, shady. Deleted my 15+ year old account and data. I always knew the reviews were garbage given that across 3 companies I’ve worked for there were c

That’s super shady, and Glassdoor has lost its usefulness to me, so this easily nudged me to delete my account. Straightforward process can be started at the bottom of this page: https://help.glassdoor.com/s/privacyrequ

That’s a comment about as useful and shallow as an opening commentary on The View. Please share more data on your conclusions. Sounds like you have some deep insights on what data tiktok collects about users, how that data is given to CCP i

How is this done for all other social media sites? Is there anyone doing consolidated reporting of these “top lists”? I see meta just confirmed removal of tooling that makes such reporting even more difficult. How is that overcome?

“the algorithm” was mentioned as being the real risk here and in several breathless mainstream media reports. The authors may be unaware that tiktok has opened the recommendation engine for inspection and code review by their USDS 3rd party

While you lost cred at “partially owned and controlled by the CCP”, I’ll bite. You seem to have knowledge that those at TikTok USDS (and TikTok Inc.) do not. Please share your data/sources on how the “CCP influences the content shown t

Rather quick observation that there’s clear borders at Hollywood, BH, and other affluent areas. Curious what some takeaways are. Gangs exist only where gang members live? No affluent people are in or run gangs? More/more effective poli

I’m glad I’m not alone. I’m all for good design, and I believe there can be a great deal of “science” to good aesthetics in advertising, but, whoa. I literally can’t latch on to what allll of that is meant to achieve. Is this the mystical “

I’m not sure what biases the guardian has, but I find it difficult to get past the opening 2 sentence’s casting of 50+ million people as simply delusional. Assessments like this completely miss the mark by disregarding the often reasonable

Is the consensus that this was purely greed-driven? In a number of recent stories and quotes from politicians it’s been kind of hard to square up their proclamations of greed and yet no mentions of mandated minimum wage increases or inargua
