> Maybe you’re suggesting 1 professor watching 1 student on a 2,5h exam?

Does your local school bus in hundreds of professors on exam day to act as personal security guards? Probably not. When I went to school at least, they used extra cheap labour of whatever minimum skill level was required to catch cheating, in exam halls with procedures designed to prevent cheating.

Professors keep acting like this is some unsolvable research problem when it's not. What's "hard" is stopping cheating for the near-zero price universities seem to expect to pay, and the solution is to get real and change the underlying practices to prevent cheating, regardless of what it takes. If that means no more coursework, fine, scrap the coursework or require it to be done under supervision as well.

CS departments especially have a wealth of options available to them via automation. Record screens on systems without network access, require students to be patted down at the door to stop them bringing in hidden phones, and watch them carefully as they work both in real time and do spot checks on the screen recordings afterwards. Or for that matter, use AI to do it.

The alternative is to just see universities be bulk defunded in future as a failed experiment: see what the Trump admin is doing right now as a preview of what happens when the credibility of public sector education and research falls too low. If degrees are worthless because universities won't do what it takes to stop cheating then what's the argument for preserving student loans next time there's a debt crisis?

Here in Germany wolves return to many parts of the country. And there is lots of resistance. There are regular sob-stories how wolves hunted poor cuddly niece lambs and how their owners are now scarred for life and will quit their jobs.
There is financial compensation and also guidance on how to build secure fences, but the big bad wolv is scary...

Is this about the security of the USA or the security of our greatest ally?
The FAA's interpretation of federal regulations (CFR 14) isn't just arbitrary and capricious, it's arbitrary, capricious, and vindictive.

They're fighting to take Trent Palmer's license, because he decided to go around, instead of landing, because the FAA's interpretation of the CFRs is that going around is prohibited on any landing locations with structures nearby.
The article phrases this weirdly, but they are talking about the 40,000 Starlink terminals in Ukraine that Eutelsat is trying to match, not about LEO satellites.
This further pushes us into walled gardens. Facebook, Google, ChatGPT, so on.
As good as this stuff is. The annual budget of the US is also 6.75 trillion. That's not total wealth. That's what is spent every single year.

If all these things are feasible with the wealth of the 400 richest people then it's also possible with a drop in a bucket of the US annual budget, yet the government decides not to do these things for some reason.

Yes, Trump during the campaign being careful to distinguish between protests against Israeli human rights violations in Palestine vs. those actually supporting Hamas during the campaign, the specificness of the searches the Administration has used when seeking to ban "DEI" topics from government funding, and the absence of hallucination in modern AI, all combine to give a high degree of confidence that this administration deploying AI to target Hamas supporters will not hit a variety of other (especially, but probably not exclusively, pro-Palestinian) targets.
Symbolic behavior is artificial and not how humans think either. 0 is not a probability (neither is 1) - a value of 0 or 1 basically breaks calculations by dragging everything along to the limit, the same way infinity does, or 0 in the denominator (in fact, that's what 1 and 0 translate to if you switch to logprobs or other equivalent ways to calculate probabilities).

Consider: if you clamp the probability distribution of answers to 2x3, so that it's 0 everywhere else and 1 at 6, you're basically saying that it is fundamentally impossible for you to misunderstand the question, or make mistake in the answer, or that you're dreaming, or hallucinating, or that you've momentarily forgotten that the question was preceded by "In base 4, what is ", or any number of other things that absolutely are possible, even if highly unlikely, in the real world.
Normally if you criticise the israelian government in any way, the response is: "do not listen to this antisemite!"

How can you believe there's any good faith in this?
you need to constantly have your

Why do you think so? What do you think would happen when you go offline for a week?

It's never just "a few dollars" because
the amount in the channel needs to be
much greater than the fees

Connect to a node that processes a million dollars worth of transactions per day, then the amount in your channel is just "a few dollars" for them, for which they would not risk their reputation.

Well, consider me. I believed that leaving Saddam Hussein and the Baath party in charge of Iraq was preferable to finding some replacement, and I believe the same thing about Assad in Syria. Am I a Baathist?

Of course not. But is this view, that these Baathists should have remained in place support of them? In some way it must be, since it prefers them over something, right?

Even so, this is purely motivated by that I believe that their alternatives would slaughter or permit slaughter of all the minorities, in particular Christians, which is what happened at least in Iraq, so in practice it means that my view, rather than supporting any of these guys per se leads to opposition only to destabilizing these countries or other attempts to root them out.

So I suppose it depends on how you define support.

Of course saying "stop the genocide" will be interpreted as supporting hamas.

Question is, are you ok with this interpretation or not?
The LKML is no gold standard.

After searching on lore.kernel.org, do you click through individual messages with such insightful subject lines as, "media: camss: Format configuration per hardware version," and, "rcar-vin: feature enhancement and fixes?" or do you read through the nested results, which on a test search related to a recent problem I had, gave me 2.5 MB of text across 74K lines?

Even then, I didn't find exactly what I wanted and would need to browse the kernel source (and will it be mainline or next?) and click through. The frontend for git.kernel.org does not have per-line blame (unless I missed it somewhere) so I have to checkout just to find the commit I want or browse the log until I find the changed line or hope that the expanded log is verbose enough to match my search term.

lkml.org is certainly no better, with no method of searching or grouping related topics.

Or... Do you refer to a third-party search engine doing the heavy lifting of indexing and deciding the relevance of a problem?

As opposed to most chat clients, where you just search and get a preview of all possible matches, and then go to that conversation. Sure, with Discord it involves opening the client and the potential for security mishaps and other problems of modern software (ads, useless features) but it is generally not difficult to search through a half-decent channel.

You get similar ease-of-use and searchability with a git repository with a half-decent frontend plus it makes it significantly easier to track proposals, changes, feature history, etc.

... except when a merge request or issue suddenly has more than 5 participants or a branch is building a new feature, where it then makes sense to take it to a chat where you get an instant notification and tight feedback loop between all participants, rather than rapid-fire updating the bug tracker and its associated merge request comments and the reported issues in a dependency's repo.

Gotta go; a coworker is asking me in the chat to push a fix to nightly.
> The effort involves AI-assisted reviews of tens of thousands of student visa holders' social media accounts

No one want terrorist apologist in their country, but I think everyone can see how it's the cursor position that matters. Now you ban terrorist apologist, tomorrow you ban someone who criticized Israel and it's human rights violation.

I see no difference between the Hamas and an Israeli fanatic who claim the Arabians have no right to live on the sacred soil that God gave them 2 thousand year ago, legitimizing the bombardment of civilians, forced deportations of gaza citizens, illegal Israeli settlements and so on.

Yet this is only about one side.

I fear this is instead going to be used as a tool to shut freedom of talk when it's not supportive of Israel.
This seems bit like anti-intellectualism to me. I perceive mention of physical exercise as red herring here because you can do both. Actually that is what I do also while commuting.

Audio books are fine but actual reading is important too. The "escape from reality" is not relevant part but being served without doing the work is.
Am I the only one that gets an icky feeling when I see things like “I am so tired of all this political stuff, I want to filter it out”?

All the political news you don’t like is a symptom of the toxic society we’ve built. Maybe we should be making new social networks that bring people together fix the root problem, not ignore it because it’s harshing the vibe.

This bot just scans people's social media. I would assume you can just fake someone's social media account and get their visa denied. I'm sure this thing won't account for multiple people having the same name. It would also be funny to run this on Elon's account and see if he'd get denied for his thinking emoji replies to antisemites, or to run this on a fake Rubio account where he's terribly photoshoped next to Bin Laden.

I’m not sure why you're being downvoted for this. the article does not state that the AI tool proposed to be used is an LLM. in all likelihood it is, but why assume?
Eutelsat's oneweb subsidary currently has something over 500 satellites in LEO orbit. I think starlink has over 7000. I don't know much about all of this, but I assume if it just about covering ukraine they won't have to match the 7000 starlink satellites. The whole situation might open a opportunity for oneweb to catch up with starlink.
This is secret sauce that people have been hoarding for the last year or so.

With the deepseek open source releases this is now worth a lot less and companies are cashing out on reputational increases instead of being scooped.

There's no "due process" for US visa applications. The process is, possibly deliberately, kafka-esque. Edit: I wrote about my visa process here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23942466
This is super cool, I might fork this and change the prompt to Danish, and maybe use MIstral or DeepSeek as it has better Danish capabilities. I moved to Denmark and just passed my A1 exam, so looking for more easy stuff to do.

DR.dk has `ligetil` which is simplified/easy danish news. So if I can find similar, I use it. I can probably have LLM do easy for me. Also Noospeak for daily newsletter in Danish.

LLM has been great for language learning and translation.
thanks, you had me wondering...
> Its also broadly agreed on by sciencists

Science is not based on agreement or consensus, it is based on evidence. Arguing that there's scientific agreement or consensus for anything is anti-scientific.
Your second sentence is pretty much true everywhere, just the strength of the correlation varies. Even in places that try to be even handed the simple fact that a wealthy person has more resources makes them freer.

Being in my mid 70s I have found that a corpus of fiction amounting to about 100 books is enough for me to read in a cycle without any sense of repetition. One of the benefits of forgetfulness.

I do intersperse with a pile of non-fiction, mostly history, which I march through about a chapter at a time.
It’s probably just the family guy skin color chart.
Most people I have seen on the news advocating for Isreal to stop their genocide have been taxed of "supporting Hamas". I do not trust this administration, or "AI" to show any discernment.

You should probably add an /s tag to this.
While true, the general principle remains important irregardless of implementation specifics.

If it were GOFAI, you can rephrase as "can people inspect the decision tree implemented by if-else blocks?"
I like the licensing options! Hopefully they make enough money to fund development.
You had the chance to learn something and chose to feel attacked on a personal level instead. This wasn't an attack on you (I don't know you after all), this was arguing against a insufficiently informed take on a topic that will likely give the grandkids of your grandkids sleepless nights. So if you feel attacked, I am sorry, but the topic is more important than you and me.

Also: The math on the costs of the consequences of climate change overwhelmingly shows that every proposed measure is a no-brainer from an economic standpoint. But this is also widely known knowledge.
In the EU we put the € symbol after the number so it feels more natural to do that for $ as well.

Possible improvement to Quixotic/Nepenthes? Also way harder to filter than word salad.
I'm using Rust (nightly) std::simd for my 3d math stuff. It doesn't come with matrix and quaternion functions but they were relatively simple to implement based on known good algorithms. But you do get basic arithmetic operators without having to implement std::ops by hand (or with macros).

What was/is not pretty is adding some generics so the same code can work with f32 and f64. I did manage to get something that works but it's so ugly that I didn't want to release it. I'm sure it could be improved but what I got works well enough and I haven't needed to touch it in a few years.

std::simd is quite pleasant to work with and most importantly it allows a zero cost fallback to CPU specific intrinsics when needed.
Free speech, I fear, is in retreat.
Awesome tool, well done! I had to send the product website color palette to the documentation team and you just saved me from having to search for tailwind colors in the source files.
Falcon 9, the last SpaceX Rocket design before Raptor has a 99.34% success rate.

To match the success of SpaceX’s previous rocket design the next ~450 launches of a rocket using a Raptor engine needs to not fail a single mission.

Starship really is a make or break moment for SpaceX. They will lose all competitive advantage as the European Space Agency, China, and other private entities such as Blue Origin begin to catch up.

The failure of SLS is still able to carry a payload to the moon at a 100% mission success rate so far. The whole Artemis program probably needs to be scrapped at this point.
It never has, it always will. We've already lost a host of words that meant "I'm not exaggerating, I actually mean it": "really", "very", etc. I'm going to keep up the fight.
I was working for one of the telco equipment firms around that time. We made a box that would terminate TDM trunks and had it in the lab.

I was installing Windows 2000 on a PC in the lab (manual disk swapping required) when, hidden behind another rack, several shelves full of physical modems all started calling the box at once, speakers on.
The number refers to the ground terminals not satellites.
> The question I don't think he could really answer was 'how do the cells know when to stop?'

I'm likely missing something obvious but I'll ask anyway out of curiosity. How is this not handled by the well understood chemical gradient mechanisms covered in introductory texts on this topic? Essentially cells orient themselves within multiple overlapping chemical gradients. Those gradients are constructed iteratively, exhibiting increasingly complex spatial behavior at each iteration.
> tomorrow you ban someone who criticized Israel and it's human rights violation.

I think it's today, actually. They just want to censor any voice that would dare criticize Israel's abhorrent action. Pretending anyone who shows sympathy for the suffering of Palestinians supports Hamas is an old strategy.

And to think they thought Trump was to be "the most peaceful president ever" or that he would "restore free speech". What fools.
Other issues aside, how does this get around the constitutional right to free speech? There must be some court ruling that lets speech affect the visa process.
My reaction to this comment is surely Canada or Mexico is the greatest ally of the USA. But, indeed, that may no longer be true under Trump.
