I don't know when I first heard students boasting about these scare away intro lectures [0] but it was noticeable by the early eighties.

I've a few unsubstantiated hypotheses why:

Zero Sum Game taught by boomer parents conscious that the party was already over but would be sustained inevitably with increasing ruthlessness.[1]

Intellectual Property laws started slicing and dicing knowledge that became temporarily more valuable by fencing it in.

Higher Education caught performance metrics (without much if any performance pay) and so especially elite schools but eventually the rest cottoned onto input pre selection as a way of surviving.

Society became a overt lottery particularly for low income families. This placed the easy weight of the burden of responsibility of tutors on the side of direction to easier subjects.

I believe all these factors and more began compounding exponentially with the enclosures act imposition of a requirement for a degree for work with no or marginal utility for the same.

Marketing, loans and for a particularly insidious enclosures act, the UK's "classless society" introduction of University status not only for a tsunami of new institutions (the UK will now accredit degree granting university status in only two years..) and the white washing of the vocational STEM/ Engineering focused UK Polytechnic system (making them independent degree awarding institutions enabled diversification and dilution) which multiplied the demand for least effort maximum passing grade tertiary education throughout the world ,by the turn of this century to lamentable result.

Yeah but Intel's engineers aren't going to just change the machine language around for funzies. I'd expect it to be semi-stable because if it ain't broke, there's no reason to go in and change it.

not an american, but don't forget that america strives on democracy, which means approx the same laws for everyone.

killing tiktok because it's too successful will undermine US credibility as a fair entity in any kind of business negociation, with any country.

I wouldn't be surprised if this case would be used later by the EU in regulating FAANGs even more and inventing taxes just for them ( which, as a european i find completely outrageous, for the same reasons).
Whether its escooter or ebike - if you drive anywhere near 25km/h on pedestrian paths - it's already messed up.

Do whatever you want on the road, so long your ebike can withstand 50km/h. No way escooters can do those speeds safely.
It does, unlike you try to sue people and your company is plastered all over the news

You may want to google search "Sentient Program NRO". Yes, they've had some type of AI for quite a while, and they've openly admitted to it.
More so in the past than the present. I note that the copyright range goes back to 1990 so it's not tooo surprising.

Edit: Oh, and I note this is J which is based on APL which to me looks like line noise, so I guess we shouldn't be too surprised that the original authors liked terse code.
This is my big takeaway. I didn’t really learn programming in my SE courses anyway, so I might as well have done something more useful.
I think they’re equating the mindset of “my group of people who happens to have this nationality has to be top dog” with “my group of people who happens to have this skin color has to be top dog”

This is not really about tik tok but more about the broader stance expressed by the comment they’re replying to.

I ended up in this current position because I was first interested in their field of work (geospatial work), and secondly skilled in programming. Even if I weren't a programmer I would probably work for them in some other capacity.

I don't feel qualified giving advice but personally I think I would look beyond what is commonly considered "tech". As another poster mentioned, everyone uses tech. When a company's work is sufficiently complex or special, chances are they may not rely on external vendors 100%.

Really out of my depth here but maybe some types of firms where I think there could be some interesting stuff internally:

- engineering
- analytics
- games
- graphics/animations

It doesn't, the base encode comes out superclean/stable (from my limited tests). The problem is glacial encoding speed which makes this thing not so interesting for home use. Anyway the final result with synthetic grain is wonderful for the bitrate used (I was testing 2 - 4 MBps for HD).
Quite a few people have already done this for the Ford Sync3 infotainment systems which are based on QNX6. You only need to connect a SD reader to the eMMC module on the daughterboard and mount the disk and install ssh. There are a few jigs around which you can buy to make this easier. The root password takes about 30 minutes with hashcat if you have an old model with broken signature checking so you can install a custom update package and install a ssh server that way (you do not need disk access for the digest, updates will get you there).

Depending on where you live, this might be illegal though.
Your profile says Auckland. The law in NZ [0, 1] doesn't specify a speed limit but a power limit of 300W. It looks like you can buy a 45km/h ebike like [2].

The reason you probably see a lot of 25km/h ebikes is that in the EU, anything faster than that is regulated as a moped and requires a license, so I imagine the 25km/h bikes sell more.

The reason why even the faster bikes are 45km/h is also probably because that that's the maximum speed of a bicycle in the EU.

Yes, meat consumption in the USA is huge. But I think the greatest difference between the 2 countries is our distrust towards food processing.
Italy is a country very resilient to innovations which can be sometimes a sin, but some other times a blessing.
But we are losing that too. When I was a kid mcDonalds could barely survive here. Nowadays new ones are popping everywhere, and young people completely lost this culture we had about genuine foods.
"Don't optimise prematurely" is not great advice, because it's tautological. "Premature" optimisation is obviously bad, otherwise it wouldn't be "premature"! The hard part is knowing when an optimisation is "premature", and that statement on its own doesn't give you anything to work with.

OP's advice is a little bit better, since at least it gives you a starting point for evaluating whether a certain optimisation is worth doing, i.e. looking at it through the cost vs the benefit.
The machinist actually probably can move around relatively easily (and a good machinist isn't much cheaper than an engineer, if at all). The engineers are going to be both more specialized and less in-demand. They work at a higher level where less people are needed, and due to specialization, can often be contracted out.

Thank you :)
I've never used glassdoor myself, but don't you need to use your company email while leaving the review to prove you actually work there, so leaving an anonymous review isn't even possible? Why would anybody use glassdoor if that's the case?
The past and present is not the future. Only 20 years ago China was a third world country and conventional wisdom was that China could only make cheap trinkets and never be a threat to the mighty US economy.

Now they manufacture practically everything: the computers that drive our lives, makeup that fancies our wives, widgets for all of our digits, and even some foods to feed our broods.

Why can’t China improve in other areas like influential advertising and media campaigns? Having more data from TikTok doesn’t hurt their chances.
This matches my experience, too. Even if maybe not mainland China for the coolest stuff, definitely it is moving to Taiwan, India, etc.
If you want to go 90 km/h shouldn't you be safer on a motorbike (electric or not) than on a bicycle? That's already sorted: license plate, driver license and insurance.
There's a lot of precedent bout figuring out undocumented instruction sets (the microcode sequencing format here) from history.

Changing things around is expensive, even if they don't have external compatibility obligations.
Good for you if you only intend to use bike paths. If you want to get on roads you need to sustain 50-60km/h, peak 70 in most cities.

I'd much rather do that on a proper ebike and not on a escooter. I've got drivers licence already, bureaucracy shouldn't be in the way of registering ebikes as appropriate.
They might not change existing stuff, but they may very well constantly add new instructions, that doesn't break their usecase, but it will break the usecase of the public trying to decode it easily.
Can can attest to this, a small random alt hip-hop forum in the early 2000's changed my life because of the people I met on there.

I don't quite know what is the alternative to putting some trust into either google devices and an OS like graphene or not owning a phone in the first place. Since I imagine if googles firmware bypasses things that every other chip manufacturer does the same.
Wouldn't that be discovered quite quickly by security folks? As in noticing stuff being send on the network that is not expected?
It's never been publicly clear how much is done in hardware, and how much is actually done via microcode. This blows the doors open and reveals that there's actually a lot more being done in microcode than previously suspected. What's pivotal, is how much more possible this makes microcode-based attacks against Intel-based systems.
For good reasons: increasing speed without uprating the rest of the system - brakes in particular, is looking for trouble.

Also, 25 km/h vehicles are fit to mingle with bicycles on cycleways, whereas superior speeds belong on the road with the registered motorized traffic. Different beasts, different regulations.

And then there is liability and insurance - those are why the clampdown will happen fast.
Yes but that won't make the existing knowledge useless.
Data validation in this context means checking the data you're training your model with (or validating the data you're about to predict something on). Things like checking if the format of the data matches what you encountered during development (same columns, same values in categorical columns, ...), if the proportion of missing values is roughly the same than the original training set, if the means and variances of numerical values are also roughly the same than what the original training set had, ...
If they are sane, Intel didn't rely on this staying secret in their threat model.
We can nitpick til the end of time, and I agree with you on those points. Like I said in my comment, nobody is perfect. Hell my own people were used as slaves for the longest times and called "sub humans".

We can do this for so many countries, I mean some of them literally murdered millions of people in camps (Germany, USSR, China), some of them were so corrupt their entire nations failed (Sri Lanka, African nations with people like Mugabe, etc.), while others were quiet and complacent in the conquest and rape of the world (most European countries) and now tell others from a high horse.
Well first of all with this approach you will lose a lot of friends like EU (and australia, new zealand, south africa and gazillion more allies). US is not such trusty ally as it thinks it is already (ie all the spying on top european leaders, and thats just tip of iceberg).

US needs friends just like everybody else, alone it can project only so much influence. You don't keep friends by screwing them over continuously and having an untrustworthy upper hand over you all the time. And once we're not friends anymore, china may be an attractive alternative, whether you like it or not.
Kind of gives legitimacy to this weird thing I found a while back: https://postquantumhistoricalretrospective.blogspot.com/p/ti... heh. Eerie that it is a bingo on the satellite claims.
There is no maximum speed limit for bicycles in the EU AFAIK. They must obey standard speed limits so 50 km/h in cities or 90 outside (good luck with both of them) or whatever the limit is.
That heritability was estimated based on Danes born 1870-1900. It's likely that heritability has increased since then because there's less variability in the environment: health care has improved, there are fewer accidents, poor Danes are unlikely to be malnourished, etc.

This study shows that heritability is basically zero below the age of 60, but increases a lot thereafter:

You focused entirely on an operational detail of my question and not at all on what I was actually asking: Why is it assumed higher IQ is connected to higher performance.

The reason I am asking this is because it is not at all my experience - if anything, higher IQ correlates strongly with dysfunction.

> Larger programs? Look at Linux and its "everything is a file" philosophy. Linux is one of the largest codebases out there.

"Everything is a file" is an abstraction that Unix presents to the user. It's certainly not the case that that's how everything works underneath — the file system itself isn't a file, for example.

Put a speed limit on a bike path then, not on device. Same on pedestrian paths - going over 10km/h on any vehicle or even running is unsafe.

I agree 25km/h is probably reasonable for a bike path - most city traffic averages around that speed anyway, so if your vehicle is capable - go mix with the cars instead.
We've decided to structure society such that some people starve, and we consider that acceptable. There are even children who are "food insecure".

Apparently nobody cares about anyone else's most basic needs like food (even our most vulnerable), I can't see how they'd care about someone else's need to jerk off.

LinkedIn probably isn't a great choice. Randomly, have you looked for local groups that share an interest on Slack or Discord? There's an Irish Tech Community slack, for instance, where I've made many friends (real life ones too!)
Is the swap technique you mention writing to a tempfile and then performing an (atomic) rename to overwrite the existing file? I understand how that could cause data loss if the process exited before the rename but I don't understand how it might cause corruption. Are you able to expand on that?

A related thing I discovered recently is the potential non-atomicity of writes using O_APPEND on Linux[1], although I couldn't get the attached test program to fail on my machine. I would love to find some kind of confirmation that this behaviour has been changed and that appends can be relied upon to be atomic.

In the application I'm working on at the moment I've managed to get add more certainty around this stuff since I'm only ever appending to the file in 4096 byte chunks, so can perform a simple file size check to see if data was written completely or if the file needs to truncated to the nearest multiple of 4096. I'm fortunate that it prevents having to do something like open it read only to verify contents as you mentioned.

What if your government gets the data anyway? Hackers could hack TikTok servers and release data or sell to interested parties. Your government may already be tracking your TikTok usage by sniffing traffic on intermediate servers or other measures. Or China may even sell or share this information (or worse, manipulated false information) for strategic purposes.

Both of these are probably true but the latter is more likely the significant margin.

"Massive" was hyperbolic from me but it seems like we agree that reducing processed foods from american-level consumption down to something reasonable does a lot more for people than striving to hit zero. That was the point I was clumsily trying to make.

It could go both ways.

Let's be optimistic - say, after lengthy, rigorous expert analysis it
turns out there are no backdoors or prepared traps for potential
malware within Intel CPUs. That's a big boon for security everywhere,
and for Intel's share price.

If on the other hand, it turns out against Intel, the evidence is
literally baked into silicon within billions of devices in the wild
which will become e-waste overnight.

With this TikTok thing in the wind the Chinese will ban Intel... etc.

The stakes are high. The problem was always lack of transparency.
Putting encrypted microcode into consumer CPUs was always a dumb idea.
And why? To protect the media conglomerates. Another reason we need to

Funnily it seems to be the exact opposite of the rocket equation, where you want to eject the limited mass quantity you have as fast as possible. The fuel being more like a mass reserve than a chemical energy reserve.

The fuel in an airplane is also exhausted but I'm not sure how much of momentum is gained due to this rocket fuel effect, in the traditional working regime.
But then you're on your own with a bike that weights at least 10 kg more than it should. I was in a group of friends. One of us had an ebike. He was good on our way to the hills and of course uphill. We had to stop and wait him a lot of times on the way back, because we were doing at least 30 and he was struggling to keep the pace without the help from the engine. I suggest not to mix bikes and ebikes unless you are out for a slow Sunday afternoon trip.
