It's only a story because he's president, if he were only a researcher/professor this would not even be a story. This is NOT a success story, it shows that this fraudulent behavior is endemic and an effective strategy for climbing the academic ladder.

A success story would be this is exposed at large... we work out some kind of effective peer-reproduced tests... and the hundreds/thousands of cheating professors are fired.
Some time take a look at lftp [1] and its mirror subsystem for this. It can break up a batch of files or even one large file into multiple SFTP streams. Another upside is that it can replicate most rsync behavior in a SFTP-Only Chroot account. Downside is that without a corresponding daemon like rsync on the other end directory enumeration is slow which isn't a problem if one does not have a complex directory structure.

Play around with the built in rate limit options total and per thread to keep the network people happy.

The usual framing is that the optimal amount of X is the point where it is just below the cost of preventing X.

So, if it costs millions of dollars to pursue fraud, you would still be better with allowing thousands of dollars to go.

Now I feel like you’re making up strawmen. Literally no one is saying anything about legacy status counting against applicants.

Even if that was a concern, applicants could simply… not mention their legacy status? Or better yet, the application itself could just not collect that data?

I'm not sure I agree with your solution but I agree with he problem. No child left behind is idiotic. Some kids are just stupid, put them to work digging ditches or something. No point wasting a ton of manpower and stuff trying to teach them basic algebra, they'll never use it for anything anyway.

Great writeup and love your articulation of ambiverts.

I am an introvert--but now trained my mind to be a normal person and not fear people around me. I forced it earlier. If you meet me, you'll not find me an introvert, anymore. 10 years ago, people would politely ask me to talk or share.

It has been years of journey achieving that change.

I don't feel the introvert/extrovert quagmire anymore. However, if I'm in public meetings--presenting, chatting for more than a few hours--then I need to come back and take a hot shower--and fade away the people and conversations.

My wife calls that shower: "Removing the theater from the head."

I would guess that mistake is made in lots of human text data that it might have gotten trained on. It is interesting, though in that other models have perfect grammar. Maybe it needs better human feedback based on the grammar?

I enjoyed his talk on adding lambdas to Excel, in general, but one particular bright spot was when someone asked why the slides weren't Comic Sans and he explained (my paraphrase...) that he had to give the talk outside Haskell circles and the rest of the world doesn't love him enough to forgive Comic Sans.
People forget VERY quickly. Think of all of the Meta scandals. People will still gladly hire anyone who worked there, it's an amazing brand name to have despite whatever damage to society. You'd have to get to an Enron-level fiasco for people to start looking at you suspiciously.
That there’s a generation of children who were speech delayed and under socialized during critical development years.

A pretty uncontroversial view among those who had kids or worked with kids during that time.
I suppose such a discussion could spiral into semantics so I'll only say this:

Yes, in theory we have a lot of choice but in practice you start a project and you need a good ORM / data-mapper, you need a good HTTP/Web/WebSockets framework, you need good DB migration solution, you need SSO for 5 services, and you need 20+ more things and when you start eliminating stuff there are barely any programming languages left. If even 20 are left at the end of such an evaluation that would be still pretty good (but in my practice you usually end up with maximum 7-8 viable choices).

You don't have to agree with me on this, or I with you -- it's my empirical observation which is prone to bias and filter bubbles (of course).
> I still feel like I am below those who have worked at some place

Don't ever compare yourself to other people, especially in terms of apparent success.

> Some of these terms people use and other stuff has made me doubt myself

Sounds like you want to fill out your knowledge base. That's straightforward enough. Note what you don't know, then research it and try it out in practice. It seems like you're an autodidact and that's fantastic.

> Is there a way for me to learn all the stuff they teach at companies by working in Open Source projects?

No. You can't learn to live in the desert by living in the forest.

> All I need is knowledge and mentorship.

The first is on you. The second is on you too.

Have you looked into the people that work along side you on those Open Source projects? Undobtably some of them have production experience.
I use hashi corp's stack: Boundary + Vault for ssh credential injection

it completely replaces the need for bastion hosts and ssh-agent at scale (I'm a hashicorp's paying customer)

compared to Teleport, boundary is lightweight (you dont need to install agent on each target server) and is integrated with the Vault for certificate based auth or simple cred brokering

I don't think piracy is a broadly popular method of watching media, not because it's wrong but because it's technically challenging and inconvenient. And if it started becoming popular, the industry would respond by either cutting prices or beefing up enforcement. Either way, the STB remains mainstream.

It's really hard to say because I don't fully know your use case. Maybe your way was the right way but I think I probably would have done something differently. Maybe a priority queue of jobs with a static pool of workers.
I realize this is not the point of the article, however you hit on something here I always thought.

I think Journalism is a great dual major choice (or maybe just a minor), with whatever it is you want to study, particularly if its in conjunction with engineering, computer science, physics, biology, finance / accounting etc. Why?

Because Journalists are trained to be good communicators and summarize ideas (a worthwhile skill in most professions) and they are also taught to be ferocious in finding and corroborating information for its "truthiness". Having these skills would give most people an edge in whatever line of work you are in.

It's not really a "jailbreak," they replaced the entire PCB, but it makes sense because Google sells these almost certainly below their own cost (when they do the promotions), and overwhelmingly below the cost that you'd have to pay to get a decent enclosure.
Sorry I’ve been doing this a bit adhoc - there are other techniques I do as well such as choosing shorter synonyms. A structured approach might be doing a dictionary translation by inverting a thesaurus and mapping synonyms to either themselves or a shorter word. There may be some “texting culture” thesaurus in the world that you could merge with a standard one.

But it’s also remarkably resilient to dropping single characters or even a few so long as the spelling is very similar. Wish I had a more rigorous approach for you though.
I think "don't double book yourself" is a good rule of thumb, especially when you're getting your sea legs, but there are ways to do that, with daily (or weekly, or monthly) billing, once you know what you're doing and you're confident about your scheduling and your business relationships and the way you set expectations.

The one expectation you should never set with your clients is hour-by-hour accountability. It's not even a win for the client: it just creates anxiety.

Nice to see someone else fall upon what I call funnel-based control flow, as opposed to stack-based control flow of most programs using functions. I used the same pattern in nobox: https://github.com/serprex/nobox/blob/master/nobox.c

Idea is that using goto your program can be mostly a loop where you make forward jumps to anywhere in the code & everything converges or jumps back to the start. It ends up making for very terse code since you're no longer passing values back & forth as much through structs/params/returns. You align variables & jump to code. Each label has a kind of ABI where the variables are the registers

the reason you are so confused is because your assumption that china just popped into existence fully-formed in 1945 or whatever, is totally and utterly wrong and ignores literally hundreds if not thousands of years of relevant history.

literally everyone has tried to take over china (modern translation: "access their markets"), from the mongols to the british to the japanese. i bet even the romans had some half-assed plan they were working on.

If Harvard wants to be a networking club for the rich, that's fine, but then it should be cut off from public funding.

Cutting off public funds would obliterate Harvard's research output overnight. NSF, NIH, NASA, DOE and other government agencies fund virtually all fundamental scientific research in the United States. Without government funding, most professors (at least in science and engineering) would immediately leave for places where they could access public funding.

Harvard should decide what's more important to it: networking or world-class research?

PRC state driven industrial policies are hilariously efficient against entrenched (western) incumbants, because the alternative is to not be competitive at all since new competitors simply can't compete against moat of established western companies with resources that rival government funding, no less US cheap money. PRC scale is large enough to do that, meanwhile most countries/blocs too small or uncoordinated to even try.

That's why US/west copying PRC industrial policies, because PRC industrial policy is initially "inefficient", and then they become absurdly efficient, saturating domestic market at first, then export massive surplus to globe, and eats away at western shares. Analysis of PRC moving up value chain and global export share on PV, telecom, android smartphone, display panel shows reduction in operating margin of leading companies by 50-90%. Hence US is trying to stop PRC semi. And I'm guessing west on PRC EV soon. Because the efficiency of PRC indy policy is also measured in making western companies less productive.

As for PRC brain drain, Chinese academics/talent in west floating back to PRC in record numbers. Those are good portends vs statistically insignificant % of millionaires trying to hide their money abroad. Which entire ignores the fact that PRC generates so much domestic talent now that west can't meaningfuly braindrain even if they wanted to. PRC is in process of milking the greatest high skill demographic divident in recorded history. It took PRC 20 years to build up ~15M STEM talent to catch up in west in most sectors except extremely difficult integration projects like aviation and semi. She's generating that much talent every 3-4 years now.

E: over post limit

Yet the west copies PRC, an "unserious" regime, none the less. From PRC content moderation, to surveillance, to industrial policies, there's more convergence than divergence. Because PRC is prescient. Enough so to be labelled as only US competitor who is capable of reshaping global order.
It may enable you to do sufficiently well without resorting to immoral methods. Interesting how these things can go.
Sure, but to what point?

"We spent 1 million dollars on oversight, and the 100 thousand dollar project is now completely free of fraud"
> The peer review system is not designed to catch fraud, it's designed to catch scientific or experimental errors.

Yes.

> Giving up on science is such a vast overgeneralization. You could take your statement and replace "manipulated research", "scientific institutions" and "established scientific truth" with just about any negative article in any domain. You could just as easily make this statement about startups (Theranos, Juicero), or government, or religion, or suburbs, or cities...

Institutions go through similar cycles of breaking and systemic reform. Not surprised that you can see patterns in other domains.

Depends on what a "call" represents. A 15 minute chat, happens once every other week or so? Just do it, don't count them. A 2-hour meeting? If it's part of prospecting for new business, you do it and eat the cost; if it's the readout for a project you've delivered, then you accounted for that cost in your SOW. If it's ongoing support, and they're not a house account you bend over backwards to keep happy, book a billable day or set them up on some kind of use-it-or-lose-it bucket of retainer hours.

> > a world that is set up for people like me

> The anglosphere, not the world. I assure you there are many parts of the world not set up for people like you.

My phrasing was sloppy. I meant the scientific world in which I operate, not the entire scientific world, and certainly not the literal entire globe.

> I live in one of them. We don't feel guilty about building our corner of the world for our own benefit. But we also don't see our home country as a mere economic platform open for everyone.

I'm not sure if that's a general statement of fact or a response to something I said, but, if I appeared to imply that you should feel guilty or that your home country should be a mere economic platform, then I did not mean to do so, and I apologize.
I don't think it makes any sense to be running custom LLMs on-hardware on these devices. They're too small and too low power to be doing so. It makes a ton of sense to hack their small, specialized hardware for speech-detection to forward that to your own servers, though, and I'd love to see that article.

Meh. I can see why it's unpopular in the Gemini community, but I don't see anything wrong with referring to the "Gemini web".

It's basically the Web but instead of HTTP it uses its own protocol over TCP thus still within the Internet protocol suite. Qualifying it as the "Gemini web" already communicates that just fine and is less less whimsy than Geminiverse or whatever.

I suppose I could see grounds for suggesting OP use the community-preferred vernacular as a personal preference, but that's about all the bite I see in this bark. Maybe that's reason enough to change it so you don't piss off Gemini's 12 users—I can grant that one.

Also, "Gemini web client" does make it sounds like it's a web client for Gemini. I'd just change it to "a client for the Gemini web".
If a field takes two decades to "correct" its mistakes, then there are several things wrong with it. And if we have top positions held by unethical people, who have got away with it, and possibly climbed to the top because of it, then I do not know what to feel or say about this.

Being from "flyover country closer to the East Coast" I've also loved that feeling of visiting the West Coast sometimes and the surprise of seeing businesses I know from TV or movies really exist. 7-11 was definitely on that list for me.

It came up for me the other day because Heathers was set in small-town Ohio and yet prominently featured a 7-11 in multiple plot points which didn't fit my mental image of (mostly Southern) Ohio. Curiosity turned up that apparently there are a few 7-11s in Ohio if you travel north enough, so it isn't entirely anachronistic.
There was a previous investigation, years ago, which failed to dismiss her as a tenured professor (which is very difficult to do — as we've seen with MTL). But the document I linked to is from 2023, related specifically to her misrepresentations in the CMF. That has not had a hearing, AFAIK. If you have more information, please share it!

I would be surprised if misstatements in such a document (which is not published research) could lead to a tenured professor being fired. But I would welcome an investigation by the Daily into the issue, which could turn up evidence of other misrepresentations in contexts that are more likely to receive administrative scrutiny. She surely has freedom of speech, as a professor. But purposely and persistently misquoting research is precisely the sort of thing that professors can be punished for.

I am of a similiar mindset. I put an afternoon into choosing what font will inspire me to code to, about every couple years. I set it up, forget about it, tell no one since it would feel petty and personal.

It'd be nice to have a word for something you care substantially about, but with fleeting desire and no desire to preen about.

I don't think there's a meaningful difference between an Erlang actor and an operating system process other than the upfront memory allocation size.

The salient different to me is the supervisory structures. In Erlang you must compose them, in operating systems the kernel does that for you, or you move the responsibility into a distributed queue, etc.

As for scale, I don't really know how to reconcile "I'm fine just paying another 20 dollars" with "I'm worried about how my kernel will schedule my processes".
I don't think anyone is suggesting that.

It helps if you read the following paragraph.

He oversaw work at three different institutions over two decades that resulted in manipulated data by someone, and didn't issue corrections when those manipulations were pointed out. If he didn't do it, he was incompetent or uninterested in fixing the issues.
It really depends on how users structure their secrets. Projects typically correspond to a single app. For example, APP_X can a project and it will have a set of environments (dev, staging, prod, etc) and within each environment they would be able to add folders for more depth like (frontend, backend, microservice_y, etc)
