A 🇺🇸 friend visiting Turkey noticed how all similar shops (fishmongers, pharmacies, etc.) were all close together. "How do they compete if they are all in the same place?" he asked. I realised not only he'd NEVER get the answer, but he was structurally incapable of getting it...

Bugün işi gücü bıraktım, BPT Boşuna Tıklama Dark Web Haber Pusholder gibi sosyal medya hesaplarını tek tek taradım. Ülkenin en çok oy alan partisinin lideri canlı yayında bir sürü açıklamalar yaptı. Yetmedi çıktı Halk TV canlı yayın konuğu olarak belgeler paylaştı. Bu yukarıda adı geçen sosyal medya hesapları Özgür Özel’in bu açıklamaları ile ilgili tek bir haber bile girmedi. Bu hesaplar tam olarak kimin kontrolünde? Bizim bilmediğimiz bir şey mi var?

@bdincaslan1 Çözüm bu kitlenin siyasete aktif katılımı... Belki bir forum, bir platform. Fikirlerini ifade ettikleri ve etkisini hissettikleri bir mecra. Teknoloji bu katılım ortamını kolaylaştırabilir. 2023 genel seçimlerinde muhalefetin adayını teşkilatlarda en çok aktif olanlar belirledi..

Örgütsüz, temsilsiz, mevzisiz ve sermayesiz; ancak namuslu ve idealist bir kitle var. Ne yapmalı da bu kitleyi birliğinden doğan güçle ülkenin yönetimine taşımalı? Meselemiz budur. Bundan başka işle uğraşmak abesle iştigaldir.

Yogurt holds a central place in Turkish 🇹🇷 cuisine, not just as a side but as a defining ingredient across meals. It is used in cold starters, refreshing salads, hot soups, meat dishes, and even desserts, showing its incredible versatility. Generations of cooks have relied on it to balance strong spices and bring lightness to hearty dishes. Beyond flavor, yogurt is seen as nourishing and essential to everyday eating, often appearing at breakfast, lunch, and dinner alike. From the creamy bowls of cacık to the comforting yayla çorbası and the layered flavors of alinazik kebab, its role in Turkish food culture reflects both practicality and heritage, linking daily meals with a long history of yogurt-making. To understand Turkish cuisine is, in many ways, to recognize the central role of yogurt at the table. Visit Türkiye: goturkiye.com #GoTürkiye #DeliciouslyTürkiye #TurkishCuisine

@gammalab_tweets @RnaudBertrand Occam's razor: doing the right thing for the humanity.

@RnaudBertrand What are China‘s motives you think?

Most people probably don't realize how bad news China's Deepseek is for OpenAI. They've come up with a model that matches and even exceeds OpenAI's latest model o1 on various benchmarks, and they're charging just 3% of the price. It's essentially as if someone had released a mobile on par with the iPhone but was selling it for $30 instead of $1000. It's this dramatic. What's more, they're releasing it open-source so you even have the option - which OpenAI doesn't offer - of not using their API at all and running the model for "free" yourself. If you're an OpenAI customer today you're obviously going to start asking yourself some questions, like "wait, why exactly should I be paying 30X more?". This is pretty transformational stuff, it fundamentally challenges the economics of the market. It also potentially enables plenty of AI applications that were just completely unaffordable before. Say for instance that you want to build a service that helps people summarize books (random example). In AI parlance the average book is roughly 120,000 tokens (since a "token" is about 3/4 of a word and the average book is roughly 90,000 words). At OpenAI's prices, processing a single book would cost almost $2 since they change $15 per 1 million token. Deepseek's API however would cost only $0.07, which means your service can process about 30 books for $2 vs just 1 book with OpenAI: suddenly your book summarizing service is economically viable. Or say you want to build a service that analyzes codebases for security vulnerabilities. A typical enterprise codebase might be 1 million lines of code, or roughly 4 million tokens. That would cost $60 with OpenAI versus just $2.20 with DeepSeek. At OpenAI's prices, doing daily security scans would cost $21,900 per year per codebase; with DeepSeek it's $803. So basically it looks like the game has changed. All thanks to a Chinese company that just demonstrated how U.S. tech restrictions can backfire spectacularly - by forcing them to build more efficient solutions that they're now sharing with the world at 3% of OpenAI's prices. As the saying goes, sometimes pressure creates diamonds.

@spectatorindex España! Incredible work-life balance, top life expectancy, warm and welcoming people, a vibrant sports and fitness culture, exceptional cuisine, straightforward politics without hypocrisy, and stunning landmarks and weather.

Which country, besides your own, do you have the most respect for?

@TheCinesthetic I'm a big fan of plot twist movies, and there are really really good recommendations in the replies. But none of them are close to Oriol Paulo's "El Cuerpo" (2012).

what’s a movie that had the BIGGEST PLOT TWIST EVER and it still blows your mind just thinking about it ????

@evilsocket Just out of curiosity, who do you think is deciding that you are not qualified? Recruiters? Hiring managers? Are you having interviews or they just reject your application right away?

And now Amazon too!!! Funny, i'm not qualified as senior software engineer, or AI engineer, or defensive tech engineer even tho I spent the last 15+ years working on exactly that (some of them are actually using my code). Ages ago I developed one of the first WAFs before Cloudflare was even a thing (evilsentinel, in php, it was crap but visionary), Google scans Android apps for malware every single day with my code ... Amazon is working with technologies I have a patent for ... but I'm not qualified I guess! LOL how freaking disconnected is the hiring process from reality?

@norpadon My theory is that C was written in the times where the storage was limited, so they were saving space, and all the next generations has learnt the syntax with the original style. It's like importing pandas as pd. It's not a must but I've never seen anything different.

Why do C programmers always obfuscate their code? Are they trying to save space? Do they have to pay for each letter? Are they using some trial version of GCC that doesn't allow actual words in variable names?

@jeandpardaillan @canergulten Bu fiyatlar, fahiş kiralar + kötü giden ekonomiden dolayı düşük sayıda satış nedeniyle başabaş noktasını geçmek için olabilir. Döviz de olması gereken noktada değil sanki. 3-4 eur altına düşmek için kiralar yarıya inip döviz 2 katına çıkmalı. En az. Yani doğal olan bu galiba.

@canergulten 2 euroluk bir şeyi 13 euroya satacaksanız bunu böyle salak saçma kriterlere inanan insanlara yapabilirsiniz. Lüksün böyle şekilsel saçmalıkları var ya hani onlara uyan bir kitle olur ittirirsin anlarım da öyle bir kitle de yok

@MrBilphus @RoadRageVidz @FadeHubb They don't care if those spams are bringing more views, hence more money. But I believe it's the opposite since it's a bad user experience, so they have to care, especially if we keep reporting.

@akpinark @RoadRageVidz @FadeHubb Twitter doesn't care. This wasn't a problem before Elon.

Humiliating him like that is wild😭

@tonez1lla @RoadRageVidz @FadeHubb 😄 let's see if it works 🤞

@akpinark @RoadRageVidz @FadeHubb Done. You have been reported as spam 😂

@AliYerlikaya @yilmaztunc "Ben Bu Cihana Sığmazam" adlı dizide hukukun üstünlüğü ayaklar altına alınıyor, mafya bozuntularının hukuku hiçe sayarak güya kendi adaletlerini sağlaması övülüyor. Bu tür tehlikeli mesaj veren, suçu öven yayınlara müdahale etmeyi düşünmüyor musunuz?
