I love how these things always turn into a game of telephone. That link, which links to something else, does not say what you claim it does.

The most egregious is the General Service Administration requiring that Columbia place one department under academic receivership (which is nothing like dissolve) for 5 years, in order to continue receiving federal funding. Columbia notably is also a private Ivy League university with an endowment in the tens of billions of dollars whereas at stake is apparently up to ~$0.4 billion of Federal funding. If Columbia feels the demands are unjust and wanted to legally challenge them or even take a stand on values, they could do so extremely comfortably.

But isn't there still the kernel of an idea here for a package management system that intelligently decides to build based on platform? Seems like a lot of performance to leave on the table.
I'm willing to believe that will execute in less than 2 seconds, but it doesn't work as given.
The cybersecurity industry is almost entirely located in the Bay, Seattle, Tel Aviv, and Blr/Hyd, so the really active user groups are mostly in those cities.

Cybersecurity goes hand-in-hand with IT, DBA, Networking, DevOps, and OS/Systems Programming - all functions that were previously looked down upon over the last 15-20 years.

Furthermore, most American CS programs made OS internals, Computer Architecture, or Distributed Systems optional, so the junior portion of the ecosystem doesn't exist in the US anymore.
I'm genuinely curious what was so undesirable about this sibling comment that it was removed:

"ASLR obscures the memory layout. That is security by obscurity by definition. People thought this was okay if the entropy was high enough, but then the ASLR⊕Cache attack was published and now its usefulness is questionable."

Usually when a comment is removed, it's pretty obvious why, but in this case I'm really not seeing it at all. I read up (briefly) on the mentioned attack and can confirm that the claims made in the above comment are at the very least plausible sounding. I checked other comments from that user and don't see any other recent ones that were removed, so it doesn't seem to be a user-specific thing.

I realize this is completely off-topic, but I'd really like to understand why it was removed. Perhaps it was removed by mistake?
I am not trolling! I guess I am just pointing out that what you are saying is quite literally shocking, and would be to anyone who believes this is what is going on. And you don't have to listen to me and you can keep wishing whatever pain you want on strangers or whatever; but I think it would at least behoove you to step back sometimes and appreciate just how dissonant things are from this perspective. Like how do you even explain this level of generalized evil in the world? What do you think happened to this culture all of the sudden, to step it up to this level? Even being more grounded, what could be going on, in your view, at the admissions office at Columbia et al to allow in so many literal Nazis in, so to speak?? Like, truly, I can't imagine how you are grounded at all, I definitely would be going crazy.

Like is there anyway you could even appreciate the Occam's razor here that at the very least, the protestors in this case may actually minimally think they are doing the right thing? You can believe people to be trying to be virtuous even if they are misguided or deluded or somehow led astray. Is that too worthy of such punishment and ire?

Is it really the case you can see only prejudice and hate from the other side here? That this many just ordinary people (read annoying liberal arts kids) are just pure evil? There is no room or evidence at all to see that we are all just fumbling around, reacting to the terror and pain we are all disproportionally exposed to? What sickness, what trauma could be so universally applied to all of us to create such a universal and bewildering hate? This is not rhetorical, I am truly curious.
Because it creates bad incentives and workplaces.

Nobody likes the conditions working in places that have to take counterintelligence seriously.
These tactics are often criticized selectively. Why is it a problem when Turkey manipulates elections by banning certain candidates or parties, but not a problem when Romania or Germany or the EU does it? When any country resorts to such authoritarian tactics, it needs to be condemned. Otherwise criticism of people like Erdogan falls flat.
That seems an especially good reason to distrust DNA evidence using the technique from this paper. It relies on such a small amount of DNA, in dust, that if someone opened a window and a stranger walked by, the interior of a room might be contaminated with the strangers DNA. Also people are mobile, their clothing will pick up DNA dust from one location and shed it in another location. There may already be DNA dust from a million people in any one location. Even if you suck the DNA directly out of the air, you don't know where that air has previously been.

Yes, it seems silly. Which countries have had a foreign puppet elected because they lack this provision?
> Having someone born in the country they are looking to lead seems silly to you?

Whether it is silly or not, I'm not sure, but it certainly doesn't seem very democratic.

IMO Arnold Schwarzenegger, to pick a random foreign born politician, should be able to stand for President. People can choose not to vote for him if they've bothered by him being foreign born.

FWIW, in Australia, no member of Federal Parliament (so Congress equivalent) can be a dual citizen (and they must be Australian citizens), so an equivalent to Arnie in Australia would need to renounce their foreign citizenship before standing for election. This seems like a better middle ground than "must be born in the country" to me.
We have a relatively modest commit with GCP, around $1M a year, and have a dedicated account rep who I can contact whenever I need to. In fact, we've had a similar relationship even when we were half the size.
Edge inference most likely. Its FP4 performance is about 1/3 of 5090, power 170W for the whole thing. It can run big model or several small. Shifting balance to memory favors MoE. Would be nice to see FP32 numbers, they are used in training. My guess about 20 TFLOP, may be more, but 5090 is still times better.
I got together with my now wife at 20. We didn't get married until we needed to for a visa. Getting married didn't change anything, and we acknowledged that we were a couple for good well before then, had kids. It helps that the country we're in recognizes defacto relationships so there was no incentive.
I think it's an interpretation issue. When you say it's 45% faster I interpret that as "the new package handles work at a rate of 145% when compared to the original, that is, 1.45 times as fast".

I would rephrase your comment as "the package takes 45% less time to process a given data set".
I don’t see a problem there, they take jobs from americans and the current companies abusing the H1B process are doing so not to gain rare knowledge or experience but to abuse people. So i’m totally onboard. H1B should be for people like Musk, not randos that happen to know a few things.
Show HN: CandiScreen – AI-powered candidate pre-screening tool
Hi HN! Today I'm making CandiScreen publicly available.

I've spent years leading tech teams and experienced firsthand the frustration of manually screening piles of resumes. Current solutions primarily rely on comparing resumes to job descriptions, which often has limitations, or extensive testing that's not respectful of candidates' time.

That's why I built CandiScreen, an AI-powered platform designed to automate candidate pre-screening, providing quick, insightful, and fair assessments to instantly identify the most suitable candidates.

With CandiScreen, candidates experience short, engaging assessments rather than tedious forms or lengthy tests, while recruiters and hiring managers gain clear, data-driven insights into each candidate's strengths.

I'd love your feedback, thoughts, or questions about the approach, tech stack, or any aspect of the product!
As you see in the article you linked, it was ruled unconstitutional only because it violated the 15th amendment. That amendment makes it illegal to deny the right to vote based on race, color, or previous condition of servitude. It is still legal to deny the right to vote if someone is deemed not smart enough.

In Erdogan's Turkey, I doubt it.

I’m fearful that this is getting downvoted. It’s very hard right now to get a tech job and even harder if a background check reveals that your finances are gone, recent divorce, homelessness, etc. Committing to being homeless for 2-4 years for a weak chance at getting a job is a quick path to depression. I’d hate for this thread to set this guy up with unrealistic expectations and a prolonged and futile labor.

I think you have the right idea with the CDL. I was going to suggest Buccee’s for their high pay scale but the CDL will yield great pay quickly and get this guy out of his rut. If not that, start applying now for the fisheries in Alaska for summer season jobs. Definitely pick up a gym membership for the showers to avoid dumping unnecessary money on motels.
Columbia university can do whatever it wants. However, if they want to take free money from the federal government then they have to jump through more hoops.

That article you reference says nothing about dissolving academic departments. Perhaps you are referring to academic receivership.
ASLR is by definition security through obscurity. That doesn't make it useless, as there's nothing wrong with using obscurity as one layer of defenses. But that doesn't change what it fundamentally is: obscuring information so that an attacker has to work harder.
> IMO Arnold Schwarzenegger, to pick a random foreign born politician, should be able to stand for President.

The reservoir of potential candidates is vast. The risk this mitigates seems important enough to give up on additional potential candidates.

It's not like other countries aren't protective. Have you looked at trying to even just immigrate to Japan?

Regardless of how you feel, a country should be able to set its own policies.
Do you have any reason to believe in their statements? What happened to skepticism around whatever government officials tell you?
I assume people downvoted it because “ASLR obscures the memory layout. That is security by obscurity by definition” is just wrong (correct description here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43408039). It does say [flagged] too, though, so maybe that’s not the whole story…?
Basically none at all.

I haven't checked in a while but for client there's basically two die masks. In 13th and 14th gen half the SKUs were 12th gen masks.

Mobile is either the same as client or a smaller mobile efficiency die, but only one mobile mask.

For server there's just E cores and P core tiles. The limitation is packaging not fab.

The SKU is just fuses and written at validation after binning.

That is because China has only become regional and global power in the last 3 decades. They didn’t have the means to threaten the world. They do now. See how they projected their naval power against Australia and New Zealand - [0]

China’s behavior in Africa and countries such as Laos and Cambodia resembles neocolonialism of the past - [1]. In other words, they acted exactly like colonists who controlled China a century ago.

Even when they were a communism country, they caused conflicts with all of their neighbors — USSR, India, Vietnam. They supported Khmer Rouge and were responsible for the genocide that killed at least a million Khmers. They invaded and occupied Tibets.

That's a interesting point considering that Nijjar had been denied asylum more than once and caught lying on his application. Giving him asylum was a result of weird ghetto vote bank politics of Brampton and Surrey.

It's not that Canada has never sent assassins to foreign nations. Canada participated in Afghanistan war and people including children, in Pakistan were killed by NATO airstrikes. Where was the due process for those kids playing soccer who were killed?

I do not condone any killing by anyone. But people in glass houses shouldn't be throwing stones.

A constitutional amendment requires ratification by 3/4 of the states. Even getting one proposed requires 2/3 of both houses of congress. This is not going to happen.

Simply ignoring the constitution and cancelling the vote? There's no way he will be able to shift the Overton window that far in ~3 years.

Today it's 2.2GB of JSON files, tomorrow it's tens of petabytes of archived data that you need to look through for work. A speedup of 2x is nothing to scoff at.

Most places I worked have a blame.ignoreRevsFile[0] somewhere on the top level to inhibit this. It's a bit awkward because first you need to commit, then you need commit again to update the commit hash in the ignore revs file, but it's great for filtering out pure refactor churn.

Some people use the "flag" button as a "disagree" button or even a "fuck this guy" button. Unfortunately, constructive but unpopular comments get flagged to death on HN all the time.
My high school wouldn't let you graduate if you had unpaid library fines, i can't imagine what they would do if you caused tens of thousands of dollars in damage. I agree rescinding post-granting degree is weird but we are still talking about behaviour that happened while they were students and that happened relatively recently (such that disciplinary procedures could have realistically started while they were still students).

It is unusual, but the situation is unusual. I think calling it unprecedented is a bit much. Its plausible it could be politically motivated, but it seems equally plausible that the school is pissed that they now have to find thousands in the budget to repair the damage done. Causing tens of thousands of dollars in damages is a plausible reason for the school to be mad.

I had head-of-line-blocking issues recently on a 10 Gbps data centre link!

HTTP client packages often use a small, fixed number of connections per domain. So if you have two servers talking to each other and there's slow requests mixed in with short RPCs, the latter can sit in a queue for tens of seconds.
Kind of. Though it doesn't need to be in the imperative. "Cats sleep" is a fine descriptive phrase of what cats do. "Police police" is similarly a description of what cops do.

But the original article seems to have "Police police" as a noun phrase, meaning "the police of the police," and that's how it goes to infinity -- you can keep on adding another "police" to the noun phrase.

That seems uglier to me. It just a string of nouns and an assertion that the "police police" (or the "police police police") are a named thing.

My version takes a object of the sentence and makes it a noun phrase. So if the cops hunt criminals, we could make a noun phrase: the criminals that cops hunt. We can then make add a verb at the end. "Criminals cops hunt fight." (When the criminals get hunted, they get anxious and start fighting.) You can then add a object to that verb. "Criminals cops hunt fight alligators." Replace all those nouns and verbs with "police" and you get your sentence.

You think at the time they openly said they were trying to take the vote from black people? Or did they say exactly what you're saying now, that they were simply trying to ensure that only smart and educated people could vote.
I suspect that any configurable or discretionary barrier to voting will be used to disenfranchise voters unfairly, at least some times in some places. As it is, I'm aware of an age requirement (18 years) and a criminal status requirement (not a felon, sometimes just not incarcerated).

A literacy/civics/logic/knowledge/etc. requirement would at best discriminate against people who are uninformed, unintelligent, uneducated, unable or unwilling to take a written test, etc. But they are people whom the laws affect and who should be able to vote. I don't think that they are a comparable category to the exceptions mentioned above, but that's debatable.

Most importantly, the test would be optimized to exclude whoever the test designers and proctors consider, knowingly or not, unworthy.

I understand the desire to exclude the dummies. I know thoughtful and educated people who espouse the same wish, but it's just too dangerous.

Think you are confused about what it is, it's a piece of software for hosting videos. Might be worth reading the frontpage https://joinpeertube.org/ .
As an example, blender has https://video.blender.org/ with blender videos. It's kind of like mediawiki is wiki software but it isn't wikipedia.

The part which seems to be confusing you is that these platforms can ( don't have to ) network together to make a larger apparent platform that has some resemblance to youtube.

Having said that, the actual platform is kind of meh in terms of UI design. It does look like a very budget youtube clone as if it was a "learn to make a youtube clone in 1 hour using html css!"
So they think the UK's main centre-left party has an "unwritten rule" against female leaders, when its main centre-right party very obviously doesn't (having a female leader right now, its fourth, and having just last month marked the fiftieth anniversary of its first election of a female leader). How do they explain that? I mean, what about the UK Labour Party's ideology leads it to having an "unwritten rule" against female leadership at its highest level, while the ideology of the UK Conservative Party leads them to embrace such leadership repeatedly?

No, that other definition is the incorrect one. Security by obscurity does not require that the attacker is ignorant of the fact you're using it. Say I have an IPv6 network with no firewall, simply relying on the difficulty of scanning the address space. I think that people would agree that I'm using security by obscurity, even if the attacker somehow found out I was doing this. The correct definition is simply "using obscurity as a security defense mechanism", nothing more.
