This is interesting, haven’t heard of it. I think the problem with the disc format is you aren’t getting 28 TB of content on there unless you span multiple discs which is a pain in the ass

nobody out there has come up with a good way to permanently archive all that stuff
Personally I can’t wait for these glass hard drives being researched to come at the consumer or even corporate level. Yes they’re only writable one time and read only after that, but I absolutely love the concept of being able to write my entire Plex server to a glass harddrive, plug it in and never have to sorry about it again.
Nvidia shield is an option you should check out.
Just another reason our election shouldn’t be entirely dependent on 10,000 people in Pennsylvania.
As much as people around these parts despise algorithmic feeds, I suspect an algorithmic feed would’ve worked far better in this situation to feed all academic based content to someone immediately on account creation if they show interest/ follow peers in the field.
This would’ve helped the migration since they most likely don’t know the accounts of the Twitter accounts posting academic content as that was algorithmically fed as well. I’m really doubtful it’s a problem with decentralization, seems to me mastodon had a problem with both not having a critical mass and the content that was there wasn’t easy enough to find.
Personally really been enjoying Kagi for the past year.
China <> US relations have actually been at a much better place this last half a year. This articles pretty big on the fear mongering.
As a heavy tiktok user I would probably only use this if it had an algorithmic feed.
Perhaps a bad example because most people undermine them, but China has still decided to move forward with 4 different nuclear facilities this year despite having an ABUNDANCE of solar manufacturing. If they found that decision worthwhile I would think the opposite, assuming most of the reasoning is current battery tech can’t sustain dark periods at a massive scale, but I’m not an expert.
Also just saw you mentioned nuclear costs in another comment, I suggest you look at South Korea and China’s cost per facility compared to the US, they’re able to build and maintain facilities at about half the US does.
Relevant videos if anyone wants to see the violence for themselves. Its an absolute joke that most US media sources are framing this as a “Clash” or “Violence erupts”. This is an attack on peaceful protestors.

If you have to ask that question you definitely don’t use Tiktok it’s far far superior algorithmically than Reels and YT Shorts which are both absolute garbage.
The article talks about why they’d prefer to shut down if you take their word it. Essentially the US is such a tiny portion of ByteDances revenue, it would be more optimal to shut down then to risk the sale of their algorithm. Assuming they’re using relatively similar algorithms on Douyin, and they don’t want whoever they sell to to turn around and sell to their Chinese competition, which is where the real money is being made for ByteDance.
Hard to pin the blame singularly on one when the other is complicit in the same system.
Are US kids’ already dwindling attention spans going to be saved from exposure to the TikTok algorithm? Yes.
You’re pinning the blame on tiktok when this also applies to YouTube (shorts and not), Instagram (Reels), Twitter. If we wanted an actual solution here we would implement actual children screen time laws, ironically similar to the under 18 gaming laws that have been implemented in China.
Tiktok is the only platform I’ve seen legitimate progressive movement on various issues and discussions centering on what that means and takes, in a way that actually fosters a great democratic progressive movement in the US.
From all I’ve read on this issue, not a single person has provided me with any insight into what or who this benefits that does not also apply to every other social media other than an entirely fabricated myth that they’re controlling the algorithms to spread anti US sentiment. Anti-US sentiment definitely exists, but it exists as a discussion around what the US is currently doing. I.e. funding Israel, and as a counterargument to that I am also fed state department interviews on my FYP.
Platforms such as TikTok operate on “pushing” content the algorithm wants instead of users “pulling” content they want to see
This is just outright wrong, like hilariously wrong and if you used the platform for more than 10 minutes you’d see that. Tiktok is the ONLY social media that feeds me content I want to see as accurately and often as I want. It will even adjust the videos I see within the same 30 minute session to feed me more of what I’m favoring within that 30 minute session.
There is not any other single social media that does this.
There is a severe misunderstanding of what this is going on in this thread. 4 years ago when regulations were introduced on shipping pollution it vastly reduced the amount of cloud trail produced off the pollution. Covid also played a role here as there were far less active ships.
That pollution mixing with the clouds is theorized to have actually been helping stave off ocean warming because of the increased cloud coverages around shipping lanes reflecting more sunlight.

Now there have been tests in the past 4 years to recreate the cloud coverages with sea salt in order to bring the rate of temperature increase back down to the previous levels.
Does this solve climate change no of course not. But it does fix an accidental fuckup we made that came from an ultimately good decision in standardizing emissions in 2020. And we need to do anything possible to bring the RATE OF CHANGE down.
In the same vein Bloomberg just did a great study on ChatGPT 3.5 ranking resumes and it had an extremely noticeable bias of ranking black names lower than the average and Asian/white names far higher despite similar qualifications.

They threatened the same with Seattle and surprise surprise they’re still here. They did pass the entire fee onto the consumer though, which sucks ass but at least gig workers are being paid.
Let’s not forget how will only buy electricity back at a variable yet, sell it at a static rate and keep the profit.
Also up charging a tax on selling electricity back into the grid for “use of their equipment”, which understandable i get but again c’mon.
The realistic progress needing to be done here is a battery storage solution as power needed during intense solar days is effectively 0% in California nowadays. We need to store that energy and use it during night but then it eats into PG&Es profits and we can’t have that can we?
Everything done under the guise of “progress” is helping a corporation somewhere.
