What brand of VPN do you use to bypass it, many of my friends are there quite frequently, none of them have a mainstream solution for it.

Last time I was there, express does not work, and I heard proton also does not work. However, my mobile carrier by default routes all roaming traffic through UK, so that did work.

China blocks most IPs from foreign cloud providers like AWS or Digital Ocean. And if I am not mistaken, they can also block some VPN protocols (tor is not a VPN protocol, but it is very blocked, I don’t know if tor bridge works), but I am not sure which exactly.

This is actually the case, according to some vegan YouTuber. From what I understand (and according to these people) veganism is about harm reduction, so they shouldn’t consume anything produced by exploitation or animal (including human) suffering.

Not consuming animal product should be technically “plant-based” or “vegan diet”.

I do applaud their effort, and feel they are certainly stepping towards the right direction, but it would probably take a long time for society to accept this definition.

On the other hand, I feel it is fine to have different definitions for the same word. I think even among the vegan community, there must be many definitions of “animal suffering”. I feel it is okay as long as we are doing the best we can do.

I wouldn’t give my most vulnerable moment to a company that is more than happy to exploit it for profit.

In this specific scenario, I feel it is really about signing the message than encrypting the message.

But, the full scale invasion of China by happens around 1931, which then lead to the conflict that get China involved in WWII.

Well at least there is no clear conflict of interest /s

They also need to put a little yellow star on all their clothing.

Google, despite having a track record of killing services, does have a good track record to keep their phone up-to-date. On the other hand, most other android OEMs stop frequent update after a year or two.

Especially if it might hurt their income.

I don’t know anything about quantum computing, but recently I heard a long talk by a quantum-computing expert who were trying to convince us to work on quantum error correction. His (probably optimistic) estimate is that: with a good amount of help on error correction, we might achieve 100 logical qbit in 5 to 10 years.

Completely unpredicted breakthrough is rare in computer science; if Microsoft’s tech can actually solve quantum computing (as you discribed), it would have made much much bigger wave than this.

Okay I prefer to use FDE for security, especially on laptops, so my data recovery is never going to be trivial, yet with a live environment, also not too difficult.

Why is separating the OS with files necessary? I don’t think large files slows down the OS anymore, because of SSD.

This language reminded me the duality framework developed by Zena Ariola and Paul Dowen (there probably are other people working on it) based on classical logic.

This is not surprising, as vine claimed to be based on interaction net, a model of classical linear logic. However there are several questions that I hope to get some answers:

• Based on my extremely limited understanding, Ariola and Dowen’s framework seems to admit a evaluation order for the continuation (a expression with “expectation”) for each evaluation of values, like call-by-covalue, call-by-coneed. I was wondering what is the evaluation order of the continuation here.
• How does the linear aspect of the interaction net comes into the picture? Is there linear types?

I hate to disagree but IIRC deepseek is not a open-source model but open-weight?

I have recently applied for a junior computer scientist position in Europe, U.S., and China. The Chinese employer give me an offer immediately, with almost the same salary as Europe and U.S. In addition to that, the Chinese institute promised me a clear path of advancement, which is not included in my Europe and U.S. offers.

My current employer in Europe is a famously well-paying institute, but my salary is only minorly higher than my Chinese offer, in a much more expensive city than Beijing, and I have went through a lot of crap moving to Europe.

The Chinese government is investing a crap ton of money and resource into computing, I cannot imagine many people will make the same choice as I did, especially when they spent most of their lives in China.

We have these bullshits, and apparently DEI is the problem within scientific research…
