> She should have a lawyer file a court case.

IANAL either but court challenges to visitor visa decisions pretty much never succeed. The Courts are so deferential to the Executive on that topic, immigration attorneys will tell you it is a waste of your time and money even filing the case.

The one thing which can work sometimes, is if you can get your own government to raise the issue through diplomatic channels. However, unless you are someone very important, your own government probably can’t be bothered, and won’t see it as something worth spending diplomatic capital on.
Wikipedia claims Congress has passed over 30,000 statues in its time. That is however many millions of words worth of edifice and cruft surrounding the Constitution and subtly altering its meaning and influence over time. (That’s the mechanism by which Federal law has granted itself this power. Whether it should have is another question, of course.)
Numbers are just this strange paint that humans apply to some things. Real computers are not based on numbers, they are based on physics of the natural world, which we only model with numbers. There is no ontological confirmation that reality is numerical; we just have a small handful of experiences which indicate that it can be understood as such.

This hits to the core question of whether math is real or fantasy. If we built a computer to calculate 1+1=2 and prints true for some millennium until one day when it suddenly prints false; what type of problem is that? Is math now wrong, or is it safe?

what if one day 1+1 becomes meaningless to us? The computer prints 2 but suddenly it’s as static to us? This seems like a downgrade, but what if this is accompanied by direct knowledge or an upgraded type of model to understand reality? It’s not seen as 2, but the underlying natural mechanisms are perceived directly? Math is broken, it doesn’t even seem to exist, yet the world continues on and we perceive it in some new strange predictive certainty?
Oh god I rubbernecked at that place a year or so ago, it was pretty sad then but boy, it escalated.
My guess is that you didn't need it anyway, and we didn't need your baseless ad hominem.
>Intel has failed, or at least failed to distinguish itself, in every single market it has entered since IBM chose the 8088 forty years ago:

This is just wrong, unless you mean by "distinguish itself" as "redefine the market" or something superlative like that.

Intel's big successes have been in chips that support their CPUs. Motherboard chipsets (northbridges), WiFi chips (basically the standard in many laptops), etc. Also, their GPUs have been very successful, but only for integrated graphics. Just look at countless corporate laptops over the last 10-15 years: all the parts inside are by Intel: CPU+iGPU, WiFi, USB, etc. Load up Linux on one, and then run "lspci". Corporate laptops have been dominated by Intel for ages.

Also, Intel has done well with a lot of enterprise-grade and server components, like Ethernet adapters.

Yeah, they did miss the high-end GPU market, but for most computers you really don't want a high-end GPU: they're expensive and power-hungry, and far more than you need for using Excel and Word and watching videos on YouTube. Laptops with discrete GPUs have horrible battery life; I'm unfortunately stuck with one of these beasts for my work, when I don't use its capabilities at all, and the battery doesn't last more than 1-2 hours despite the thing weighing a ton. (Someone high-up in the company thought that we "need" these things just because we're devs.)
I still fail to see the case for a tech-savvy user to ever purchase or use a single Apple device.

We don't need an ecosystem that doesn't allow to change much on our devices. We don't need an ecosystem that won't even let us charge our devices with the cables that are supposed to fit them. Apple deserve to rot and die in its own arrogance.

It's available, you might need to search for it and look for the flow charts to see which courses are missing from the other departments.

The challenge is, in many places, you won't be able to practice as an engineer without going through an accredited program.

If you're trying to be a maker or learn more about that, mechanical engineering is probably overkill. There are more accessible books for technologists or technicians that have a much more reduced emphasis on math.

An undergrad degree in engineering isn't sufficient to be an engineer. It's the base knowledge that gets built on during the apprenticeship ("engineer in training" or other name), and you need to learn and use the relevant laws and standards.

If you're able to state your goals a little more clearly, there may be others who can provide better advice or comments.

I generally only nest one level down, and at most two. Any more and, as you say, it becomes very convoluted, particularly when it comes to specificity. However, alongside pseudo elements, the killer feature for me is that nesting enables namespacing for components, which (a) leads to much simpler class names that makes CSS much easier to read and (b) stops a great deal of repetition of the class on the wrapper element.

Bing Search is actually not bad if you use it through duckduckgo. It has much less ads than Google and seems to deliver better search results on the first page (mainly because Google's results are now mostly paid ads, not real results)

But I'd never use it directly. Before I'll even try their new chatbot someone will have to offer a privacy condom service for it like what duckduckgo does for search.

Doesn't sound like you have used Spinrite, but if you don't think it's worth the money don't buy it. Not sure what makes you think a developer has to reduce the price of their software, just because it's old. Adobe has done no such thing. The software still does what it did when it was first made. If you have a bug report, file it, my guess is that you don't.
Yes you can have mathematical techniques in CS, I am talking about focus or emphasis of the discipline. Obviously, there are gonna be subjects on the fringes (set theory is another example).

Similar to what you say, mathematical analysis uses uncountable sets (especially the ones above reals). But they're just a theater, not the actors. The actors are the countable sets - sequences, continuous functions..

And I think similar situation is in CS, where infinity, while useful, is just a theater to uncover properties of medium-sized finite objects.

For many people, philosophy is kind of "obvious babbling". But as you can see, that's what we engage here. It's interesting to think about this in the context of Skolem's paradox - I think the two views (the mathematical and the CS emphasis on nature of numbers) are actually equally valid.

I don't think that the examples that you have with the waitress and the mechanic are good comparisons, because they are "cute" after solving your problem. More accurate examples would be the waitress or mechanic saying "Oops, sowwy! Something went wrong." and leaving, without solving your problem.

I'm also on the side of being professional while the problem still stands, because the user is most probably annoyed at the situation, and wants you to take it seriously. You can be cute after the issue has been resolved.

I have limited knowledge about Google, but this sounds overly simplistic for at least GCP.

Large contracts are locked behind FedRAMP compliance, DoD ILx, and so on, and I happen to know that all large cloud providers listen very closely to customers in this space.

Your harsh criticism is valid under the assumption that GCP is an unsuccessful consumer product. I think it is only partially so and features are mostly driven by larger b2b and governments, where it is successful (in the sense that it delivers most features customers care about).
yeah, I just realized that too. screw it, I'll just grab all of them ;-)

I am dual booting PopOS and Windows 11.

PopOS has had a surprisingly high number of instability issues and random freezes.

I considered the possibility that the build is the problem, but it’s the same nvidia LTS 22.02 build that I used with the 5800x.

Windows runs fine.

If I didn’t rely on cuda, I’d probably use github’s code spaces for programming and just stay in windows, or run a VM.

Everyone who wants to work in academia has to make one of these types of claims that there work is related to something politically salient. It doesn’t actually mean anything, and anyone with a decent education knows they don’t mean anything. Yes unfortunately a large portion of the population is uneducated and might not understand the meaninglessness of these statements, but this is an educational problem rather than a problem of expectations. Poorly funded schools don’t properly teach what democracy is and how it works - in our modern era, it has nothing to do with the Greeks and is entirely performative.

I don't think anybody's claiming Taiwan is violent or especially "interesting." I spent a while there myself and quite enjoyed it - the best public transport I've experienced anywhere in the world, completely bemusing escalator behavior, sewer smell tofu and all. But the nasty thing about war is it's not like there's some visible meter that fills up, and once it reaches the top - war starts.

It starts when one side believes they have a strategic advantage, and often it comes exceptionally fast. Ask most people who are familiar with the situation in Russia/Ukraine, including Ukrainians and Russians, whether they thought Russia would invade in 2022, even just days before it happened, and most would have laughed at the idea of it. Even Zelensky was [publicly] overtly rejecting the US claims of an imminent invasion.

With Taiwan both sides are being increasingly provocative. There was absolutely zero purpose in sending Pelosi to Taiwan. It was essentially just daring China to stop her. It's somewhat similar to how in the leadup to the war in Ukraine numerous Western vessels were semi-regularly violating Russia's territorial waters (based on Crimea), essentially daring them to escalate. The CCP, for their part, have also stepped up their rhetoric and there were even leaked (more probably "leaked") plans for an invasion of Taiwan. Even if disinformation, it's obviously designed to provoke. Basically both sides are poking and prodding one another, to feel each other out. I don't think it's simply posturing.

There are also somewhat practical indicators. China has been accelerating an ongoing process of de-dollarizing itself, engaging in simulations of 'Russia like' sanctions on its economy, stockpiling food [ostensibly for COVID lockdowns], expanding their nuclear arsenal, increasing conventional arms production [ostensibly for export], and more. And while I'm skipping most of the geopolitics stuff for brevity, I would at least mention the obvious indicators that the Mideast (Saudi Arabia and UAE in particular) seem to be moving hard towards the 'Eastern bloc.' This sort of an alliance opens up doors that are big enough to start speaking hyperbolically in terms of outcomes.
I’ve seen a bunch of guys in Shanghai whomp on a guy trying to still a girl’s purse. The police just watched, it was Justice in their mind anyways. Things like that just happen I guess, it’s weird that I’ve seen this on TV in the states but never in real life.

I saw things in China that I would never see anywhere else, like a girl get killed when she was hit by a taxi (she was going against a red light, the taxi driver was going way too fast). The thump/crunch sound is one I’ll never forget. I guess it’s because there are so many people that the odds are good that you’ll see something crazy happen in real life and not just see it happen on TV.

I’m really glad I left China before COVID happened. From what I’ve heard from my friends still in Beijing, things have been really tough for the last couple of years. Yes, lives were saved by the suffering, but I’m still glad I personally didn’t have to go through it.
Will get snatched by Blackrock.
I agree with you that there is a certain kind of fanaticism about reporting on China but... why would the zero COVID policy involve killing people's pets?

In any case, in the end it's all political posturing and propaganda from all sides but I don't think it's great to be framing things in terms of "well, this bad thing is actually not as bad as this worse thing, so we can overlook the less bad thing."

>Even without AMD intel would’ve needed to release cheap server, desktop and mobile 64 bit CPUs at some point, with reasonable compatibility to x86 code.

I worked there at the time, and this was not the thinking in the company at all. The thinking was that if you needed 64-bit computing, you needed to buy an Itanium, full stop. Otherwise, 32 bits (with PAE) was all you needed. This is what Intel told all its customers. They really thought that IA64 was going to eventually replace x86 altogether.
Don't we? Off the top of my head, there's front end, there's back end, there's DevOps, there's kernel devs, there's low-level embedded devs, there's database people, there's data scientists, there's ML people, scripting language people, video game engine programmers.
Absolutely not. The domain of philosophy is precisely anything which cannot be formalized with mathematics. Not only does philosophy not need mathematics, math is utterly useless for any philosophy.

The very question “Does philosophy need mathematics” cannot be answered with mathematics.

Also not a lawyer, but reading the document, the language for a lot of this document is incredibly subjective and broad. Neverminding the fact that immigration office workers generally don't have to justify their position, very likely sex workers who never actually have physical contact with their clients would be subject to the conditions of ineligibility because of fairly prudish conditions on the immigration document:

(3) (U) Crimes Committed Against Person, Family Relationship, And Sexual Morality:

I think the main sections that might apply would be prostitution and lewdness. Prostitution doesn't require physical contact as I get it [0], and even acts meant to "satisfy a sexual desire" are counted. Lewdness I cannot find a specific definition of with a very quick search, but in general the language on what I can find focuses more on the public nature of "indecent" elements.

As I understand from the document later on you don't even need a conviction for the immigration officers to reject you, an admission is enough (see section 9 FAM 302.3-2(B)(4) (U) Admitting to Crimes Involving Moral Turpitude)

To be very clear, I think that the ruling on this case and such rules in general are absolutely ridiculous and puritanical, and should be removed as they are overly broad and group persons who don't bring risk with those who bring risk. I don't know the history of these rules, but I can imagine that a modern defense of the rules likely would include discussion points on preventing "sex trafficking", even though the person from the article likely is not related to sex trafficking at all.

I'm not sure a wrongfully rejected application for immigration is something you can sue over in general, and even if they could, I suppose that with the current law/rules presented by your document, it would be pretty easy to spin VRChat Sex workers as ineligible due to the extremely broad categorizations used for Sexual Morality.

Again, I must stress that I think including such clauses against "sexual morality" is very stupid and only serve as a means for individuals to weaponize their own agendas/morals legally speaking. The conditions for violating Sexual Morality even mention bigamy for some reason, and I honestly just cannot understand how that would be considered a concern for an immigration application.

I have no idea how it works for non-US Citizens if they want to sue the US government, but as a layperson I understand that even US Citizens cannot sue the government outright, there are a lot of caveats for the lawsuit to even be applicable.

This is really a sad example of poorly written law that punishes persons needlessly, and the persons punished likely have very little recourse :/

Why should it have a goal? Even most humans don’t have goals.
Yes and no. The (very simplified) answer is that yes, some ISA (front-end) instructions are decoded into simpler back-end operations, but the design of the ISA still imposes constraints on the implementation of that decoder [1] and on the design of the back-end.

Then there are concerns like register pressure. x86 has so few general purpose registers, that values need to be stored on the stack and reloaded when needed. Some of the performance impact can be reduced by complex decoder logic, but making complex logic fast nearly always leads to high power consumption.

[1] E.g., the highly variable length of x86/x86-64 instructions puts a limit on the number of instructions that can be decoded per cycle.
