This isn't the only tooling out there though, typical SCA tooling in most enterprise companies will scan dependency licensing and vulnerabilities.

From what I've seen in r/TikTok (curiosity has kept me going back to seeing how users are reacting everyday) they really hate Meta. They're so upset, they don't trust that the current administration wont taint the algorithm of TikTok as well. It's really wild to see the varying views.

With that in mind, I would not be surprised if the top TikTok users will not take the free money. I mean its free money. If it actually works is another story though. Meta has been trying to force growth in new social media apps several times now, and its not really working, social media apps are basically generational.

I feel bad for them I grew up on the internet, in my day it was MySpace and a few other sites, I can only imagine the outrage I would have felt if they knocked off one of my social communities I frequented as a teen.

I think a lot of those offered would understand how people on TikTok would turn on them for selling out. They're not stupid, quite the opposite. I detest how the political landscape of the internet has evolved to such an extent that it now influences our decisions about posting or not posting content online.

Meta is asking for exclusivity.

It is important for influencers to diversify across platforms so I don't think this is a good deal.

It must've really pissed off Zuckerberg when for the first few months every popular reel had the TikTok logo and soundbite at the end.

I assume any one person's decision would rest on some kind of risk perception that TikTok becomes/remains non-viable for the given period of exclusivity.

Yes, which is why I am advocating for diversification.

If your livelihood depends on a single company, you exist at their pleasure.

This has been an unending source of frustration for me when I have followed someone on any of the algorithmic platforms vs. self-publishing.

So often many will invariably end up letting the place where they predominant publish to dictate what and how they produce whatever it is they output. (I was fighting hard not to say the word "content"...)

Which I despise but also understand: you do what anyone with a job does to keep the money flowing until someone in the relationship decides to end the arrangement.

(Now that I think about it, self-publishing is hardly immune to that. It just means perhaps the creator's motives could be more varied and fluid?)

It’s hard for me to see influencers of today as organic users of the past.

Many modern users start their journey as a business though the content may appear innocent or authentic.

> It’s hard for me to see influencers of today as organic users of the past.

They're not, and never have been. Nor are they innocent - they're corrupting and destroying the platforms they're on. And, for all the talk on authenticity, they're the direct opposite of it.

I remain bewildered by the continued social acceptance of this work. We're talking about people who openly accept and refer to themselves using the term "influencer" - a word that's directly synonymous to "manipulator". How much more in-your-face do they have to be about telegraphing malicious intent?

Addictive brainrot is a powerful force. Like cigarettes. You could put a skull and crossbones on the packaging and call them "Marlboro Tumors" and people would still line up to buy them. Social Media consumers know what they are doing is bad--they can't stop because they are addicted.

If they're already getting money from selling their attention and being constantly surveilled, it will take a much larger temptation to move to a different hypnosis platform.

It's not "free money". Posting exclusively on Meta's apps means missing out on the biggest portion of their audience. For a very lucrative channel they could be giving up much more than they gain.

Taint the algorithm away from what exactly?

Away from genuinely interesting, personalized recommendations, to be replaced with depressing rage-bait algorithm of sites like Twitter.

I made the switch to YouTube shorts when tiktok went down and my experience is largely the same, if anything I'm seeing more educational material on electronics and programming which I enjoy. No ragebait yet unlike TikTok. No idea about instagram reels though.

Meta's algorithm on IG has gone so far down the toilet over the years. Before I deleted my account last year, I'd have to scroll through 5-7 sponsored posts before I'd actually see something from someone I actually follow. Nevermind the amount of regular old ads that were inserted into my feed.

The TikTok algorithm is generally seen, by its users, as being really good. Once you've spent some time there and your For You Page really gets going, it really feels like it's For You. And the algorithm there doesn't seem to penalize people doing original reporting, current events explainers, science content and educational content, musical performances, tutorials, etc., alongside typical social media stuff like viral challenges and pet videos or whatever. The general "vibe" is that TikTok feels more "authentic," while Reels is mostly manufactured content (dance videos, AI slop, "funny" compilations, lots and lots of ads) and YouTube Shorts is where comedy skits and reuploads of TikTok content go to die.

Downvote all you want, that's what they're doing.

> not be surprised if the top TikTok users will not take the free money

This is a double negative. It means you would be surprised if they take the free money.

Judging by the following text I think you mean you _would_ be surprised.

> This is a double negative.

Not necessarily--one can be unsurprised at both the decision to take or not to take money, the two aren't mutually exclusive. I'm not surprised if it's not cloudy outside on a given day, but that doesn't mean I am surprised if it is. I'm just not surprised by general day-to-day changes in weather.

The default surprising behavior here is to refuse $300k just to post on a different social media site; given the context of /r/TikTok, the parent comment not surprised that they don't take the money.

In some cases, it just falls apart when displaying over a text box and doesn't know what to do with itself, and sometimes breaks the UI for me. I keep the desktop copy around for the cases where I don't want to fiddle with the extension.

I really like this asthetic.

Needs even worse kerning for more nostalgia :D

Also ought to be paired with https://github.com/ocornut/imgui

I came up with a terrible pun shortly after seeing this: "Kern you feel the love tonight"

> or being overly conservative with feature/pull requests

We saw some complaints about a repo like this I forget for what project some weeks back here on HN and it came down to, people dropping a PR and then the maintainer left holding the bag if something goes wrong, having to maintain someone else's code, which can become a problem if its a completely new feature they didn't implement or want, but users wanted. The other case is, they fix a bug, then disappear, so if the maintainer has feedback, now they have to take time to check out the person's code, update it, out of their current planned work.

I wonder if more open source projects would benefit from adding plugin architecture so people can do those one-off features as plugins without "tainting" the core project.

> unless the BDFL is a complete ass of course.

I think in the case of Linus, you REALLY have to be strict. I mean, its arguably one of if not the most used pieces of software deployed in enterprise and globally for all manner of use cases.

I assume slowly over time Neovim will just win over vim because of this. I do want to say its much more capable than the original vim, I don't know that vim has a headless mode or that it intends on it, but Neovim has that, plus it can essentially let you write plugins in any language with its plugin RPC protocol. So if you want a plugin that targets your language you can leverage existing libraries that directly support your language instead of writing it all from scratch in Vimscript.

Vim does have headless mode, iirc. I used it with eclipse or netbeans, can't exactly remember.

I have Neovim, it still haven't replaced vim yet. But I see the reasoning, IF I want to use a editor to do heavy development, Neovim seems to have more detailed syntax highlighting, and yes LSP integration good.

I use intelliJ with ideaVim for my work, and I don't think these editors can fill the capability that JetBrains offers. Even though vim has a special place in my heart

> I use intelliJ with ideaVim for my work, and I don't think these editors can fill the capability that JetBrains offers. Even though vim has a special place in my heart

I keep wanting them to make a Neovim headless plugin for their IDEs.

Reminds me of JetBrains AI, I think I'll stick to JetBrains solution for the time being. I'm not super crazy on AI coding solutions, but the JetBrains flavor hits a sweet spot for me, built-in and does what I usually need it to do.

Has it gotten better? I tried it out early and it was unusable

It is definitely quirky, but I am able to use it mainly to scaffold things, and to ask it to refactor things. I only use it for personal projects so far where its no biggie if it doesn't work out, or to ask it about stack traces.

I've also blankly asked it if there's any issues with the current code, and found errors before I try to build / run a project.

Same here, I need to try it again but Copilot+Aider cover my needs right now. I would like LLM completion in my commit messages which Copilot doesn't have but JetBrains AI does IIRC. I really want JetBrains AI to get better, I think they are supposed to be adding Claude support this month? Or already did?

Still unusable. I had to disable it.

Compared to plugin like Sourcegraph Cody with Claude 3.5 Sonnet, Jetbrain's is still atrocious.

is it worth it to buy sourcegraph cody pro ($108/year) for claude 3.5 sonnet + "advanced contextual awareness and code intelligence", even though trae provides claude 3.5 sonnet for free now?

"Add it to the backlog for review, we're not saying it'll be done, but it will at least be looked at an considered when we have bandwidth"

Just be direct and realistic. If it's to a customer, "we'll add it to our backlog for review" and tag it as customer suggestion so it doesn't just sit there forever.
