Mainland China lets people opt out of phone calls that come from outside of the Mainland...it's a feature one can turn off on an on their mobile plan.
Calls from outside the Mainland always cause a warning to pop up on the receiving user's phone that says something like "this call is coming from outside of the mainland, be careful of being scammed".
I can imagine there are many reasons the US doesn't fix this..one of which probably that much of US customer service is outsourced to people outside the US!

This. Gotta have your round robin of foreign call centers be able to spoof the main customer service line numbers for whoever they're contracted to represent.
Personally I think that should all be done in software these days, not something supported at the teleco level but what do I know.
This isn't even an unreasonable feature to implement. We just need something like SSL certs: Has Legitimate Business holding phone number XYZ granted other entity the right to use their identity?
Exactly. There are plenty of legitimate reasons to spoof numbers, but all of them are people acting on behalf of the owner of the number being spoofed. Enforce that.
Wow thanks! I just ran into my claude code session limit like an hour ago and tried the method you linked and added 10 CNY to a deepseek api account and an hour later i've got 7.77 CNY left and have used 3.3 million tokens.
I'm not confident enough to say it's as good as claude opus or even sonnet, but it seems not bad!
I did run into an api error when my context exceeded deepseek's 128k window and had to manually compact the context.
I was skeptical at first but like it a lot after trying out the betas. It's all very intuitive if you've used visionOS before and the potential readability problems aren't really an issue in practice.
That's a different part of the implementation details. If you were to break the system into mocroservices, the model is a binary blob with a mocroservices wrapper and accessing web search is another microservice entirely. You really don't want the entire web to be constantly compressed and re-released as a new model iteration, it's super inefficient.
Technically you’re correct, but from a product point of view one should be able to get answers beyond the cut-off date. The current product fails to realise that some queries like “who is the current president of the USA” are time based and may need a search rather than an excuse.
This only holds water if they are able to retrain frequently, which they haven't demonstrated yet. But if they are as efficient as they seem, then maybe.
> When adults make decisions for children it's called "parenting"
Is it? Last time I checked I thought that was only when parents or legal guardians do it to a small number of children in their care, not when politicians do it to all children in an entire country.
But even if I accept your premise, your comment makes me wonder if you've never heard of people who are bad at parenting, or who are downright abusive to the children in their care.
Let me ask you something: Do you support removing liquor laws banning underage people from being sold alcohol? Or removing laws that ban the sale of cigarettes to children? How about gambling or buying lotto tickets for childrenm
I think it's clear that as a society we have already decided that government has a role in establishing legal protections to prevent children from falling afoul of systems that are designed to be predatory
This is just another layer of that
Which also establishes a social norm that letting children drink alcohol, smoke cigarettes, or gamble is not a good thing, so people who are bad parents know at least some baseline of what they should not be doing
Who defines what a child is? Who defines what a elderly person is? Are these questions also jokes to you? You seem pretty flippant about deciding which groups shouldn't have political power.
Many countries already tried using objective criteria to decide who gets to vote, and this always results in policy that screws nonvoters at the benefit of voters. Do you think the housing crisis all around the western world is an accident? It's not. The electorate chose this because it benefits them. Is it an accident that the last 2 US presidents are pedophiles? Probably, but that would be much less likely with a younger electorate.
A decision was made about how children's lives should function without their input. Right now do you believe that the class of parent voters votes as representatives of the interests of their children and their future? Or do you believe that all persons under 16 have no concept of time or political interests and couldn't even understand if a politician was making them a good deal through a political ad?
Children understand brand new toys better than anyone; by high school, pretty much all of them understand that they get better teachers if you pay more. Are students not interested in getting better grades for "free"?
The government is not anyone's parent, it doesn't give a lick if your kid dies tomorrow, cause kids don't vote.
Hey, didn't you get the memo that teenagers know everything, have the simple & straightforward solutions to all of life's problems, and are never wrong?? ;)
> When adults make decisions for children it's called "parenting"
Children issue is just the excuse for government to get people obey. Sadly but "kids protecting" propaganda is one of two the most effective ones, works great and there are lots of alternatively gifted persons that do not get the real attitude.
> Acting like we should be seriously treating children and teens as an equal political group is a joke
Yeah this thread is wild, maybe because those speaking “on behalf” of children here are actually all children?
Age restrictions for social media are as logical and necessary as they are for driving, drinking, etc. It isn’t just a concern about self-harm. The general public has a stake in this too in the long run, and it’s a safety and security issue for them as well. (If you don’t believe this is true, just think about how much power Facebook already has over elections, and how much more they will have if literally everyone alive grows up on Facebook and doesn’t think that power is worth questioning)
Years from now we’ll all be surprised we didn’t arrive at this conclusion sooner.
This was in line with my experience in El Salvador in June of this year as well…if you don’t specifically seek out a business because you already know it accepts bitcoin, it’s not going to take Bitcoin.
Of the businesses in El Salvador marked on a map as supposedly accepting bitcoin (in bitcoin hotpots like Bitcoin beach), ~1/3 wouldn’t actually accept it for some reason or another.
That said, Bitcoin acceptance in El Salvador was still much better than I expected (perhaps my expectations were too low).
With a bit of planning, patience and persistence it is possible to have an entire trip in El Salvador using only Bitcoin
“Ron Heitman’s mind was amazing. He could make a car out of anything. I have a car he built out of a bathtub. He decided to build the Rocket Car, a street-legal vehicle he could use to drive his family around.”
Personally, I love the attitude of a person with the know how (and confidence) that they can make a rocketcar street legal.
