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 institution, but my salary is only minorly higher than my Chinese offer, in a much more expensive city than Beijing, and I have endured a lot of crap in order to move 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 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…

LOL, their code is probably written by AI.

The normal font seems fine for most. I think people might have a mental association with the basic shape, and don’t need to look into the detail of most characters.

I have tuta, bitwarden, firefox relay, and libreoffice, seems to work decently. I am also considering getting a mullvald vpn, but not sure how well it works with torrenting, since they no longer support port-forward.

Oh, yet another speculative execution flaw…

The title plus the thumbnail makes it looks like a snl sketch, only more ridiculous.

I think the best tip is to not be too hard on yourself. Using linux doesn’t mean abandoning Windows, even if you feel overwhelmed and need to go back to Windows, that is totally okay, just try again when you feel comfortable.

If you are confused please ask questions, people love to help beginners. Finally, like others, I think mint is a great starting point. If you have time, you can also follow some linux content creators on YouTube or PeerTube.

As if anti-trust law doesn’t exist. It is crazy to me nowadays, most tech startup’s goal from the very start is to sale to a big tech competitor. This certainly should have anti-trust implications.

With enough money, sorry, I mean “campaign fund”, let’s see how things go.

Thank god for Trump to save communism /s

You are right, but I imagine it is harder to sue a company over GDPR if they don’t even exists in Europe…

How do people not think that China is also a hyper capitalistic society, especially in the tech sector. Your data is 100% being sold if you are on any Chinese platform, just like in the U.S.

If anything, Chinese big tech tends to be less privacy-respecting than the west, because they don’t need to operate in area with basic privacy laws, like Europe and California; and there are much less alternative products to choose from because of the GFW.

The founder and CEO of Baidu openly stated that “Chinese people are less sensitive about privacy, which gives us more data to work with” See https://m.163.com/dy/article/DDRTB01Q0511FQO9.html?spss=adap_pc

LOL, the irony is that red note is censoring posts from those “tiktok refugee”.

It is such a western privilege to think that they can avoid unnecessary censorship and big tech monopoly by moving to Chinese platforms. When Chinese knows full well that they don’t have such choice.

To further the irony, the west actually have abundant options to avoid censorship and big tech. Yet people think they are “less usable” than google translating (big tech monopoly btw) your way into a censoring Chinese big tech monopoly…

So is red note, who is on red note?!

LLM won’t destroy copyright laws, they are the evident of the problem with copy right as you mentioned. People cannot view the content they brought in the way they want, yet company with a gigantic tech and law team can jump around the grey area for as much profit as they wish, with 0 compensation to the creator of these knowledge.

LLM absorbing copyrighted work is not a win against copyright law, it is copyright law at work.

I think most people would use the publisher’s website first and then resort to scihub, because scihub requires a doi or publisher’s link to get the paper.

I don’t think this causes much concern, even if so, I believe a good amount of blame should still fall on the publishers and academic systems that encourages gatekeeping knowledge. Especially when these knowledges are generated by public money, then the public should rightfully have access to them.

I mean, they are not entirely wrong…

Okay my first thought this is Microsoft Windows, and was very confused how people can be seen though a OS. And I later convinced myself maybe this is about Zoom calls.

Is this a villan arc or something?
