The amount makes it sound like they just want to look like they did something without actually doing something

Do they train on your code that they read for context? Do they retain the code snippets you generate? Can't find any mention in regards to privacy in their copy.

first thought I had was "they made it free to collect data since they don't own github or similar"

I'm not sure I care. To me, state funded is the same as state affiliated. The important thing is not that npr is labelled one way or the other. Everyone knows what NPR is and what the BBC is. Most fair people figure they have a bias but that sometimes they still do good work. The important thing is that by being consistent, and by labelling journalists and media brands like RT and the Chinese state media organs using the same rules we apply to npr and the BBC, we help information consumers understand when they're likely being propagandized.

This. It's not fair to apply this rule that kinda says "state affiliated/funded = propaganda" to everyone except for USA media, that's some USA exceptionalism.

I did see a round of speed chess between Magnus and Hans, I think it was 60 seconds on the clock. Does speed chess have the same cheating problem is the regular format?
chakhs · 3 years ago
Less probable but it's quite trivial to make a browser extension or something of the sort for cheating (feeding moves to engine and showing suggestions)

One way to settle it: Grudge match... in an isolated room, fully naked, x-ray scans, in a Faraday cage, no coverage until the match is over.

Drama aside, no-one seriously thinks Hans can measure up to Magnus. The outcome of that match heavily favors Magnus, even players like Nepo, Caruana, Firouzja are underdogs.

>Example: Imagine Ukraine blows up a bus filled with civilians (war is hell, right?).

If your organization reports this without any kind of verification - given the common Russian trope of hitting civilians, including civilian buses, and then blaming Ukraine - then it's going to be correctly flagged as propaganda.

It's very clear the OP implicit assumption is that the report is verified to be true.

The Telegram web client uses all sorts of features and a reimplementation of React.

> The project incorporates lots of technologically advanced features, modern Web APIs and techniques: WebSockets, Web Workers and WebAssembly, multi-level caching and PWA, voice recording and media streaming, cryptography and raw binary data operations, optimistic and progressive interfaces, complicated CSS/Canvas/SVG animations, reactive data streams, and so much more.

https://github.com/Ajaxy/telegram-tt

The dev is pretty much a genius.

any idea why they reimplemented react? to reduce bundle size?
