stuqqq··on TikTok Inc. vs. U.S. Department of Commerce

stuqqq··on TikTok Inc. vs. U.S. Department of Commerce
you know nothing about the censorship conduced by the Chinese government.

Bytedance can comply to US’ requirement of untying CCP. but a simple google search tells the truth

As a Chinese, I want someone be tough on The new Hitler, I don’t care if Volkswagen is caught in the middle.

stuqqq··on US to ban transactions with ByteDance and WeChat in 45 days
The GFW of China is to prevent its people to see outside. The GFW of America, at least for now, is to prevent China from peeking in. One is implemented as an allow list, the other one is a deny list.
stuqqq··on Why shouldn't China ban Tesla?
You can try saying something negative about Xi in China and count how many minutes before it gets deleted. And try the same on Twitter against Trump.

You will see the difference.

I have lived in China till I was 20. I saw the difference.

There is no clear boundary between the good and the bad. There are shades of gray.

But there is certainly differences between North Korea and say Iceland.

Trump may be a rogue. But it takes a rogue to fight a bigger rogue.

stuqqq··on Why shouldn't China ban Tesla?
The U.S. mindsets doesn’t apply to the Chinese government.

Chinese government has banned countless things from the world for one reason. They believe those things will jeopardize their ruling.

They had banned fb, Twitter, bullied google, youtube, because if Chinese citizens criticize the government on those platforms or see the truth, they will have no good control. They fear their own people more than anything else. Do they care about people’s privacy ? Especially with that intense surveillance? Is any high tech data worth protecting if the data was stolen in the first place?

Will an electronic car jeopardize their ruling?

stuqqq··on Ask HN: Is there anything we can do at our level to help fight coronavirus?
Making a p2p message board such that outbreaks like this can’t be censored by Chinese government anymore.
stuqqq··on My tech lead is an idiot
In your situation, I would follow his order exactly, do the minimum and let him be the firefighter.

I wouldn’t follow a non-technical manager if I have a choice. I tried it once, it’s a shitty experience. It’s hard to build trust between us. He simply didn’t trust/understand what I said. There were always a pair of eyes watching me. The conversation and management overhead is very high.

I probably wouldn’t hire them if I were the boss. They don’t add value to the project much.

stuqqq··on David Beckham speaks 9 languages using AI video synthesis
The mandarin part is in a female voice. Making a voice that doesn’t sound like him using AI seems to be a overkill. They could have used dubbers.
stuqqq··on U.S. government limits exports of artificial intelligence software
I have open source deep learning projects on GitHub. Should I be worried?
stuqqq··on Australia Is Committing Climate Suicide
California, Brazil and Australia. I have lost my hope. Next summer, there will be more. Nothing can reverse the damages made by humans. The only way seems to be reducing population to a sustainable level.
stuqqq··on Ask HN: If you lived in China, how would you go around surveillance?
Basically pretend to be a mindless cooperative citizen and say nothing in public and only be the true self in front of family and friends in private.
stuqqq··on Ask HN: Sould we equip all children with an extendable stop sign?
We should not, they will abuse it.
stuqqq··on Korbit.ai
I tried it. And I was disappointed. I saw Yoshua in the advisor list and thought the AI must be strong. But it’s very weak.

During the intro, it mentioned supervised learning. I therefore asked what supervised learning is. It said please focus on the current exercise.

Then I had to finish the exercise. It asked the question: what revolution is ai compared to? I typed “industrial revolution “ and passed. But I don’t understand why this conversational ui is better than a simple selection? Because industrial revolution is a long word to type.

In the following section, I clicked “I have a question “ and then the ai said I could choose from a list of 5 or so questions to ask.

Among them there was “what’s unsupervised learning?”

Again I typed “what’s supervised learning?” It said I should focus on the questions it provided....

stuqqq··on China's ambassador threatened Faroese prime minister to sign Huawei 5G deal
I attended a talk by a successful Chinese entrepreneur who sold his company after only three years. We asked him why he sold it so early. He said there is no pure businesses (especially when you become big) in China . There are only “political businesses”. Everyone has to work with the government and plays dirty in order to survive. So he wanted out.

To be honest, as a Chinese, I don’t believe the claim that Huawei has no government ties. But I don’t think it’s what Huawei wants.

stuqqq··on Ask HN: Has anyone sued social media or gaming cos for addiction/depression?
Should people with alcohol addiction sue alcohol businesses? Should people with obesity sue fast food? Under what circumstances should we blame it on lacking self control or gut bacteria or not having acetaldehyde dehydrogenase gene mutation? Being a gaming addict, I want to sue video game companies to get some free games.
stuqqq··on What is the cutoff between “a few” and several?
A few < 10

Several >= 10

stuqqq··on Show HN: Coscreen.co – a radically different remote collaboration tool

stuqqq··on Ask HN: How can I as an individual possibly make a difference to climate change?
Don’t reproduce.

stuqqq··on 'Stone-cold crazy' $1.7b golden parachute for ousted WeWork CEO Adam Neumann
Donate money to charity please. Don’t give money to this scumbag.
stuqqq··on Ask HN: Is anyone using spaced repetition with LeetCode?
Leetcode is a disease. I know many people memories answers and test cases.
stuqqq··on Is Medium still the place to publish high-impact articles?
I can’t understand dev.to ‘s aesthetic taste. It’s only a bit better than Craigslist.
stuqqq··on Ask HN: What should Western intelligence do in Hong Kong?
Nothing. China has been fooling its people by redirecting its inner conflicts to foreign countries. Whenever there is a protest, the government will create conspiracies that foreign governments were behind them. They justify their ruling by saying they are the defenders against foreign invasion. Stay out of it. Don’t give them excuses for what’s happening. It will collapse from the inside.
stuqqq··on Ask HN: Our founders are just assholes. What are the chances we won't fail?
I would quit right away and launch a similar product.
stuqqq··on Watching Porn Produces as Much Carbon Dioxide Emissions as Whole Countries
Food production/ consumption also emit (way more) carbon dioxide. Why is it right to fulfill one kind of desire, and wrong to fulfill another? The fundamental problem is over population. And porn watching is alleviating it.
stuqqq··on Hit by Big Loss, Bird Seeks $300M in New Funds
I have a hard time understanding why investors like these types of companies? Is there even a profitable example? Maybe they can still make lots of money from an IPO... how are they difficult from scammers?
stuqqq··on Ask HN: Do you like working in San Francisco?
I hate it very much, the city is dirty and chaotic, feeling unsafe. The commute was soul crashing, food is expensive. Can’t understand why startups like it. The South Bay is much quieter, you can focus better.
