By preventing uploads, they are preventing the world from gaining access, not just the US public.

No, the rest of the world operates on different servers now.

Interesting. How is it implemented? I opened Tiktok here in Denmark and went to something I, assume, would be in the US and it seems to load fine for me? Do you an example of something I shouldn't be able to view so I can try?

I imagine the same way you would link multiple data centers together. Only they don’t own the US ones OR the algorithm that’s used to suggest content.

EU is coming.

I’m just saying that here in the US we are going to see some funkiness in suggested content soon. Because we hit different servers than you. Even if they are hosted on Oracle Cloud.

It’s really no different than a large org having two clouds that need data synchronized. AWS and Azure for example. Systems Design…

I’m not a TikTok user so I couldn’t recommend content for you to try.

I wrote a small library that exposes apple's LLMs in node:

Woah that's cool! Was looking around something like this

Hey Greg!

Hey! Who's this?

This makes me sad. For a while, the video player team at Crunchyroll was essentially just me. I spent countless hours fixing bugs and building features, especially around subtitling. The teammate who joined after me really took it to the next level. When I left, the player felt like it was in good hands — they even open-sourced the code for a time.

Can you elaborate?

Not really? I just hear about them providing mundane cloud services.

Think SAP. Software to do stuff and professionals to make it actually somewhat work for you.

Please, this is a place for discussions about technology. Maybe let's not besmirch it with "both sides" politics?

I was honestly looking forward to this.

I'm not opposed to this idea, but it seems like the chat app is the MCP gateway ?
