If you just need add-free feature why do you need to pay for monthly subscription? I thought for ad-free feature, we only need to pay for one-off payment.

could it be that this is more like an American problem. I don’t see it happening in great degree in countries that implement government-backed health/+insurance system.

Not sure there. In the UK, the inside lane is generally (based on the signs on the road) for those who are going to the at least one exit further. Once your exit is the next exit, you’ll change lane to make the exit. You can’t simply making the exit from the inside lane unless there’s sign on the road telling you to do so.

You can get more context from the comments at Hacker News. Below is taken from from one of the comment:

Title: Urgent Warning

The “reputation washing” behavior of Tian Keyu has been extremely harmful

For the past two months, Tian Keyu has maliciously attacked the cluster code, causing significant harm to nearly 30 employees of various levels, wasting nearly a quarter’s worth of work by his colleagues. All records and audits clearly confirm these undeniable facts:

1. Modified the PyTorch source code of the cluster, including random seeds, optimizers, and data loaders.

2. Randomly killed multi-machine experiment processes, causing significant experiment delays.

3. Opened login backdoors through checkpoints, automatically initiating random process terminations.

4. Participated in daily troubleshooting meetings for cluster faults, continuing to modify attack codes based on colleagues’ troubleshooting ideas.

5. Altered colleagues’ model weights, rendering experimental results unreproducible.

It’s unimaginable how Tian Keyu could continue his attacks with such malice, seeing colleagues’ experiments inexplicably interrupted or fail, after hearing their debugging strategies and specifically modifying the attack codes in response, and witnessing colleagues working overnight with no progress. After being dismissed by the company, he received no penalties from the school or advisors and even began to whitewash his actions on various social media platforms. Is this the school and advisors’ tolerance of Tian Keyu’s behavior? We expect this evidence disclosure to attract the attention of relevant parties and for definitive penalties to be imposed on Tian Keyu, reflecting the social responsibility of higher education institutions to educate and nurture.

We cannot allow someone who has committed such serious offenses to continue evading justice, even beginning to distort facts and whitewash his wrongdoing! Therefore, we decide to stand on behalf of all justice advocates and reveal the evidence of Tian Keyu’s malicious cluster attack!

Tian Keyu, if you deny any part of these malicious attack behaviors, or think the content here smears you, please present credible evidence! We are willing to disclose more evidence as the situation develops, along with your shameless ongoing attempts to whitewash. We guarantee the authenticity and accuracy of all evidence and are legally responsible for the content of the evidence. If necessary, we are willing to disclose our identities and confront Tian Keyu face-to-face.

Thanks to those justice advocates, you do not need to apologize; you are heroes who dare to speak out.

Clarification Regarding the “Intern Sabotaging Large Model Training” Incident

Recently, some media reported that “ByteDance’s large model training was attacked by an intern.” After internal verification by the company, it was confirmed that an intern from the commercial technology team committed a serious disciplinary violation and has been dismissed. However, the related reports also contain some exaggerations and inaccuracies, which are clarified as follows:

1. The intern involved maliciously interfered with the model training tasks of the commercial technology team’s research project, but this did not affect the official commercial projects or online operations, nor did it involve ByteDance’s large model or other businesses.

2. Rumors on the internet about “involving over 8,000 cards and losses of millions of dollars” are greatly exaggerated.

3. Upon verification, it was confirmed that the individual in question had been interning in the commercial technology team, and had no experience interning at AI Lab. Their social media bio and some media reports are incorrect.

The intern was dismissed by the company in August. The company has also reported their behavior to the industry alliance and the school they attend, leaving further actions to be handled by the school.

And Hotmail deleted all my emails after not signing in for some period, twice. Then, I just stick with gmail since the early days until now.

I did it on mine. You can use ‘battery level’ state. Set it between 80-100% for example.

I think I’ve share mine tasker project somewhere in my comment quite awhile ago. anyway, if you want you can DM me.

edit: it’s not totally automatic. Need to manually unplug once reaching the level.

You can use Tasker or equivalent apps to limit the battery charge.

You’re seeing it from the outside so you won’t understand them. They don’t have the need to lie when things worsen. Even They’ve already expected things will be worst under Trump. Just to aid you to understand their mindset: Suffering 100x more by your enemy is much more endurable than the bitterness of being betrayed by your own kind.

Super Hexagon from the same creator is super great/hard.

This is applicable to 9, e.g. 27 -> 2+7=9 -> divisible by 9

go on…

I wonder why the co-conspirator is not name in the article.

that’s a lot. good one.

How can it be personal attacks. It is simple logic. I give you a simple example -> The research conducted in certain countries usually is based on industry needs of the country. In China, for example, the have demand in the technology of space exploration and High-speed rail. So you’ll see a lot of research being churned out speedily by a number of local researchers due to the immediate demand in the country. You’ve touched about ball bearing tech, for example, and this is an example of recent research article for that which could be beneficial in the HSR areas. When those people in the same country citing each other, we can’t simply claim they’re doing it as a matter of convenience. It could be an indicator that the subject itself is the top priority in the country.

Another point to consider -> If the journal where the article have been written is in the Scopus index, there’s even low probability for the work to be of low value, no matter who has been citing them.

Of course that the general idea, but there’s still room to debate.

what exactly am I violating?

Man… that’s based on Scopus index. Do you even know what you’re talking about.

Whats the need to involve Fox News into this? We are dealing with science and technology matters. At least I expect something more academic in nature.

Anyway, is this not good enough source for. you? SJR - International Science Ranking

Can you share some examples of fake science developed by China?

They rule out the play store.

The Python steering committee bans Tim Peters, a Python core developer, for 3 months. In an unrelated discussion, someone proposed a new election system for the steering committee. Then the creator of Python insinuated through a comment in the post suggesting why not we ask for an opinion from an expert that he knows, but we need to wait a bit as he’s been banned. OP claims this comment has been removed, but may be it’s been reinstated as it’s still there last time I check.

edited: some grammar typos, and edit some words for clearer context.
