Legacy status is different from race. I propose the following thought experiment as comparison.

"I need to see a cardiologist, but there's a long waiting list. Fortunately, my dad is a cardiologist so he saw me immediately."

Few people would think that this action should be illegal.

Compared with:

"I need to see a cardiologist, but there's a long waiting list. Fortunately, I'm White, so he saw me immediately."

(notice how it's still distasteful even if we replace White with Black, Asian, or whatever).

Notice as well how the situation is different if we're talking about a public hospital--in that case we wouldn't accept the nepotism case.

So there's real reasons why we would allow a private institution to have legacy admissions but not race-based admissions (and...come on. Only in the USA would that sentence be controversial!).

The rub is that in the USA many (most? all?) private institutions--yes, even Harvard--receive government support, participate in government programs, and so constitute a sort of shadow arm of the government.

The real answer, unpalatable though it may be to most, is that if private universities have legacy admissions, they should receive no govt support

Literally unconstitutional in the US.
The article says they were tested.

This project is simulating film. That’s the part about having three planes. There even is an explanation of tweaking each plane colour sensitivity.
> So to enter a relationship with someone you have to not love them while still loving them...?

It's weird and even offending to hear "I love you" (said seriously) from a person who doesn't know you well.

My take is that you can say you are _in_ love and this may sound fine if delivered right. Still, better be sure that there is at least some mutual sympathy. Also highly language-specific I guess.

EDIT: I personally find the non-verbal communication preceding the relationships much more fascinating.

I am also curious if there are cultures with a polite probing mechanism which are not humiliating for both parties regardless of the outcome (reciprocity or the lack of such).
The actual story is: Huy Fong Foods fucked up a decades-long relationship with their pepper provider, and now nobody wants to do business with them. This will probably kill them.

Yeah but US airports are ridiculous. There’s nowhere in the world with worse processing.

I’d take Indonesia and Heathrow during a lockdown over LAX on the quietest day of the year.
You've conflated being able to use legacy apps which require a very specific stack of components with the complete absence of any such components.

Additionally you've failed to recognize that where legacy code is maintained Exactly As Is (bugs included) because users (corps and gov mostly) explicitly depend on behaviors remaining exactly as they have been for 20 years, there is effectively zero means/will to fix dangerous problems which are not being actively exploited.

And the mantra around obscurity is too often misused and misunderstood:

It's not that obscurity is not a form of security it's that its not a meaningful form of security On Its Own.

Obscurity is in fact the first line of security.

Just like with physical security, the first step is in preventing attackers from knowing it exists at all and Then having security measures to prevent access/theft/etc if they do happen to find what is being protected.

Y'know, like safes behind paintings, which are a very real thing....

You're being a bit extreme, but I would like to hear the argument of why unemployment being low is automatically a positive.

I think it's more nuanced in the types of employment and pay. But I'm also sure I don't even know where to go to get that data.

Nah, these off topic rants are pretty much there in every single topic here. Every AMD/nVidia article has bunch of people just ranting without even trying to read the topic.
Well said and evident once ideological goggles are removed.
I don't feel like that's too surprising. There is that saying "the apple doesn't fall far from the tree." It reminds me of this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kqi_6v2RGB0

Essentially a high school student (now a college student @ MIT) solved a conjecture on distribution of Carmichael numbers. The parents of the high school student also happens to be first rate mathematicians.

I went to a southern ivy and many of the legacy students that I've met were children of doctors, lawyers, business executives, etc and grew up in a very fostering environment where they were exposed to how to behave in such an environment. I don't think it's too surprising that children would also excel like their parents.
If we're being pedantic, the median country can be small as well. Country size isn't a normal distribution. One might consider most of them small.
That's why I specified that it's meant as "how much can entropy still increase between the current state and the highest entropy state". If you can't read it in that sense, either ignore the shorter question or read it as "how much increase of entropy left". Or maybe "how much entropy left until max".
"Linux Gamers" all have access to Proton/WINE. It's not some Steamdeck exclusive capability...
Kinoite's /usr is not verified against a cryptographic hash on every boot, which it would need to be to match ChromeOS.

Also the team in charge of ChromeOS's security is much more skilled and much better funded.

Also https://fedoraproject.org/kinoite/ goes on at length about its advantages, and nowhere on that page is security or attack-resistance mentioned.
While true, often people talk about the proportion of Linux gamers in the context of growing desktop Linux market share, "the year of the Linux desktop," etc. Since Android and desktop Linux programs are largely incompatible, mobile games on ARM64 don't matter in this context.
I went to the site and then clicked the fake "back" button to see if I could get a sense of mastadon discussions. It's literally all just people taking jabs at Twitter. Ignoring the other challenges, that doesn't feel like an interesting community to join, it feels like an opposition that defines itself by not being something.

I'm due an upgrade to my gaming rig core soon, currently running an old 3950X with a 4090.

AMDs crippling of new game releases by paying to have DLSSv3 support omitted (most recently Jedi Survivor, and looking like Starfield) has completely soured me on the company. I don't feel inclined to support that behaviour financially with my next rig.
The thing that's really interesting to me is how "science" has arguably turned into what it was originally against. Originally, science outright rejected the ideas of specialization and credentialism. And it was founded on opposition to the "scientific consensus" that was enforced by groups like the Catholic Church (though, contrary to popular misconception, it wasn't hostile to religion and in fact scientists like Newton also were interested in trying to reconcile the Bible with the discoveries of science).

So much of what passes for "science" today consists of outright logical fallacies like the appeal to authority and the appeal to consensus. And the peer review process is often flawed with self interested reviewers using the process to demand citations to their own work or block papers they disagree with.

On any politically sensitive topic, I don't trust any "peer reviewed research" unless I can plausibly answer yes to the following question: "If this paper found the opposite result, would it be published?" Often, the answer is that a paper finding the opposite result would be career ending for the author. Which means there is no disinterested search for truth on that topic and papers on it are just dogma masquerading as science.
Varnish' design wasn't very fast even for 2006-era hardware. It _was_ fast compared to Squid, though (which was the only real competitor at the time), and most importantly, much more flexible for the origin server case. But it came from a culture of “the FreeBSD kernel is so awesome that the best thing userspace can do is to offload as many decisions as humanly possible to the kernel”, which caused, well, suboptimal performance.

AFAIK the persistent backend was dropped pretty early on (eventually replaced with a more traditional read()/write()-based one as part of Varnish Plus), and the general recommendation became just to use malloc and hope you didn't swap.
>But there are actual reasons that there are divisions between art and science in terms of purpose and method.

I would say something with similar ideas much differently.

Current scientists and artists suffer from a distinctly large division of purpose and method which simplifies and diminishes both art and science. That is, there's too much of a difference and not enough overlap in both. And there is a vacuum which needs to be filled with things that can't be fit into a neat split between one or the other.

Not that things heavy with one kind of purpose and method or the other are wrong, we just need a lot more people who are a lot more competent at both at the same time.

People do try and have been talking about it for a long time, unfortunately there is a strong tendency towards rambling nonsense about one side or the other. You do indeed end up with a lot of shitty mysticism.

Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance influenced me the most on the topic probably because it was my first exposure. If you can recognize and filter out the influence of the author's megalomania, there's quite a lot there.
One of them was Lex Fridman Father.

Like what?
Interesting. The only concession I have to make is to take my glasses off because it's quite small. I might need varifocals.
> Reminder: If you have an economy with opportunity, you will have inequality.

This is really tautological if you define opportunity as advantage over others.
I think it has to do with Node.js using Chromes JavaScript engine called V8. So whatever V8 does, node.js must do too.
NVIDIA doesn’t have the license to make x86 chips with the modern patented features so they’d need to either have a dedicated GPU with an AMD/Intel CPU or develop, or invest resources into an existing, ARM emulation layer
The readme says "~50%" of the time, which seems to be a number pulled out of a hat (to be nice) rather than any serious attempt at quantifying performance (there are no metrics of any kind and the authors are asking for relevant benchmarks). It's more like the authors' feeling, than anything they have ascertained in any reliable way. That's pretty much the same way homeopaths test their "remedies" (i.e. water).

Not for much longer. In the 20 - 30 years, those areas will become uninhabitable.
But the article doesn't deal with whether recruited athletes as a category are diverse. Probably, they are diverse and these statistics mean something remarkably different from the knee-jerk narrative in the article and many comments here.
Sometimes I think we're far too obsessed with legal. The developer is good to the community, the community is good to the developer. This seems like a much more productive relationship than arguing over what is legal.
Multi-terabyte? Better hope you have lots of spare RAM for all those page structures the kernel has to keep.
It works for impressively difficult questions, but even for simple ones (like this article is about) they would surely already be already answered a decade ago on Stack Overflow so there would be no need to ask them anew.
Poorly written blog post is hard to understand.

Are they saying that people prefer 2 long legs over 3 shorter legs?

That's very different than the headline!
It doesn’t need to refinance its debt. It pays what is necessary in interest payments.
I think it doesn’t even need to be a large power imbalance. It is probably best for the longest-serving worker (aka, someone with only social seniority) to set a good example by making sure routine communications only show up during the work week.
I'm a native English speaker and I think it's at least partly a translation issue; if you translate "好きです" as "I like you" then it is completely normal to confess that way. Translating it as "I love you" makes it a lot more weighty and creepy. I don't really speak Japanese, but it seems like 好き is somewhere between "like" and "love."
The only one that makes any sort of sense?

How about this (which is just my guess): he has a great distaste for the politics he perceives and fears would be part and parcel of setting up a foundation at the present time, and perhaps worries the same would be a major distraction from his and other contributors' focus on improving the Nim language and its compiler; therefore he's punting hard on the question.

I agree his answer comes off as a non-sequitor, at least on first read. I also think he expressed himself poorly. Finally, I am not commenting on the substance of what he expressed (that humanity has become a "clownworld", etc.)
Places like Harvard do have explicit policies to give such students advantages, so no, it's very much an official thing.
I can confirm requesting a routed /48 and configuring that on the router fixes the issue
People are confused because the article doesn't explain what it's talking about. Seems like SEO babble.
Much more. Android doesn't use glibc (or even musl).
Is there an estimate of how much the US stock market is actually based on the US economy?

Most of the listed companies are global after all.
This is a nice idea, but this line of thinking will lead to some very unusual results. The most famous is possibly the "ultraviolet catastrophe" that Planck resolved by developing a theory of quantized states and quanta https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ultraviolet_catastrophe.

This theory suggests that electromagnetic radiation can be understood in terms of quantized particles, a fact that has immense experimental support.

The fact that atoms, the larger of which we can directly observe individually, behave like waves also explains why the duality exists.

Everything being a wave does not solve entanglement. At least it's not clear why it would.
Also worth noting to an American audience that transit-related bike parking in the Netherlands operates at a large enough scale that it's difficult to fathom. Utrecht's Central Station bike garage alone has more bike parking spaces (13-20k) than the entirety of most American cities' transit systems.
If that’s your take, great. I agree. I don’t believe that’s why legacy admissions are being brought up now, though.

I think people are trying to make the case that legacy admissions are another form of affirmative action that largely benefits white americans.

They’d be wrong, of course. Legacy admissions are classist, not racist. Being white inferred no advantage under their legacy admissions policy — in fact, the opposite, because combined with race-based affirmative action, it left even fewer slots available for non-legacy white applicants.
I have a non .com domain name and that full name .com. As in if my side was cloudly.cc I also have cloudlycc.com. Works best if the (e.g.) cc is part of how you refer to your company, but it gives you a semi corner on the brand.
This is good news. Shady tactics like these are rampant on Amazon, and I hope Amazon is held partially accountable. I get not wanting liability for third party discussion forums (eg reddit, isp, etc) because of freedom of speech. But when a good or service is literally being sold through the marketplace that marketplace should be held to higher standards than a discussion forum.

The 7850 was from the transition period where the radeon development was ending but it also didn't get immediate amdgpu support.

An earlier card will use radeon and be easy to setup, a later one will use amdgpu and be easy to set up. That generation takes a bit of work.
Or sell a small die for AMD/Intel to package, ala Vega-M.

Or contract Centaur before they went defunct, maybe?

Both these things would be quite out-of-character for Nvidia.

Nobel prizes are highly political and random. It’s like judging programming skill by who won the startup lottery.
I think the argument is the opposite... they start with one or more orders of magnitude of qualified applicants in excess of capacity. and to meet DEI goals, only X% of those accepted can be white anyway. how they actually pick from the qualified applicant pool is fairly arbitrary to begin with. so as long as whatever on-campus KPIs they track for the legacy-admit population are the same, why does it really matter?

I was not personally a legacy admit to my college (so no skin in the game really), but fwiw I don't think it's an entirely illegitimate thing to select for. most schools have their own distinct culture and consider that an important thing to preserve. I imagine families that try to send their children to a specific school over multiple generations probably feel a stronger connection to that school than the typical graduate, so putting a thumb on the scale to help them seems like an approach that could work.

if anything, I'm more upset about how recruiting for college sports works.
> Universities like Harvard typically like to market themselves as being the height of meritocracy

Perhaps their marketing sucks because as an external observer, I've never associated Ivy League schools with meritocracy.
This is also my opinion.
Nobody who matters.

Those who do that don't know what they are doing (even if they outnumber the other side hundred to one, they "don't count" because they aren't aiming for good performance anyways).

Well, maybe not quite... of course it's possible that someone would want to deploy a database in a container because of the convenience of assembling all dependencies in a single "package", however, they would never run database on the same node as applications -- that's insanity.

But, even the idea of deploying a database alongside something like kubelet service is cringe... This service is very "fat" and can spike in memory / CPU usage. I would be very strongly opposed to an idea of running a database on the same VM that runs Kubernetes or any container runtime that requires a service to run it.

Obviously, it says nothing about the number of processes that will run on the database node. At the minimum, you'd want to run some stuff for monitoring, that's beside all the system services... but I don't think GP meant "one process" literally. Neither that is realistic nor is it necessary.
That’s actually a good point. I think the covid era is unique though because the “labor shortage” still hasn’t been worked through. A lot of people straight up died, retired early, became shutins, etc. and I’m very certain some sectors have not recovered. I think the recent market elation around AI is basically a last ditch hope/pray effort by Wall Street/C suite execs that something will magically show up and fill in the gaps. I see it at work and it’s cringe, they’re extremely reluctant to hire for desperately needed roles and are apparently hoping that AI will somehow show up and fix all of our problems.
In this context, "typical" would normally mean something very close to "median",

US household median income is about $71k/year. You're saying you need $280k to meet basic bills?

Perhaps by "typical" you meant something closer to "near minimum" ?
AI generated pop-culture trivia, published as a book
you missed one outcome: the message is buried under a bunch of other messages, or even ignored because it didn't come during work hours. (assuming both sides know each others work hours)

yes, i agree that getting upset when you get a message while sleeping is not right, but sending a delayed message when you have the option to can be a good idea.
That's the apparent implication; however, we actually have no data on _who_ might have replaced those 75% otherwise. Given the population metrics of the United States, it's highly likely that a different group of mostly White People would have taken their place.
Really despise these hackneyed and obviously prejudiced narratives. Open source AI has been the norm all the while. The transformer architecture was by Google but published publicly and this just follows the culture that google, meta and co have been built on. Big tech is not "handing" out anything
The dot com boom largely happened because of OS, as it allowed the fast creation/scaling of businesses in a way that would have been impossible otherwise.

Big businesses didnt survive the dot com boom and bust because they had bigger budgets. If anything many overextended themselves (e.g. Sun) or missed the boat altogether and were obviated by FOSS (SGI, DEC, et al)
By "good theory," I mean being able to know properties of the parser as a result of the formalism.

For example, one can prove that any yacc-generated parser never infinite loops and runs in O(n) (at least for the actual parsing; you can write custom code in actions that runs when a construct has been parsed, and of course you can write whatever you want there).

If you hand-write a grammar like the following, you'll end up with an infinite loop without restructuring the grammar; such restructuring is of course much easier if you have written the grammar out, rather than having it implicitly exist in code.

Expr ::= Expr '[' Expr ']'
Expr ::= Name
Expr ::= Int

If you try to naively parse the following, you'll never parse the marked production either. Something like yacc will warn you about this, while an ordinary compiler compiling a hand-written parser won't.

Stmt ::= Expr ';'
Stmt ::= Name '=' Expr ';'
Stmt ::= Expr '[' Expr ']' '=' Expr ';'
Expr ::= Expr '[' Expr ']'
Expr ::= Name
Expr ::= Int

[0] is a good introduction to regex matching, [1] is a good introduction to the algorithm yacc uses, if you want to learn either.

Ya our first job should be to find jobs and make ourselves the most employable we can be. Our second job is our current job.

If you have to work on many bugs or some not so critical tasks instead of working on some hard tech stuff. It’s bad. Or you see it as an investment and hope that the managers will like it and (truly :)) reward it down the road. Or else it’s a waste of your time and ressources because after X amont of time you will become a lot less valuable that what you could have been. And that will hurt you for your next job and the next and the next..
