If the objective is to scare people off from going to the USA, then they're doing a magnificent job. I've heard other cases of people with green cards being arrested and put in terrible conditions, with absolutely no reason given. This woman was ready to go back home and not enter the US, but instead she was dragged through hell and only released because she was Canadian. All those with different passports get subjected to their own more oppressive and never ending hells, like being deported to a prison camp in Ecuador with no idea when you'd ever be released.

New America is absolutely terrifying.
I sort of disagree. There _is_ a process, which optimises for holding people as long as possible for the prison industrial complex to make money. When you privatise these kind of social services, this is what happens. This is not due to a few officials on the ground that just happened by chance to be "incompetent, ignorant, and have contempt for you". As the article concludes,

It’s a lucrative business: CoreCivic made over $560m from Ice contracts in a single year. In 2024, GEO Group made more than $763m from Ice contracts.

> The more detainees, the more money they make. It stands to reason that these companies have no incentive to release people quickly. What I had experienced was finally starting to make sense.

That headline was hard to parse correctly.

> Intel has dropped the 256-bit-only approach and going for 512-bit everywhere. Thus it would seem to indicate that Intel E cores of the future will properly support AVX 512-bit operation!

> It looks like AMD's widespread support for AVX-512 since Zen 4 and the rather confusing AVX10 implementations previously pursued by Intel are now over. With updated GCC compiler patches posted today, that 256-bit mess proposed for future AVX10 versions is being removed.

Anyone can file a lawsuit against anyone for any reason, doesn't mean they will win or it won't be summarily dismissed. I doubt the Astronauts have enough money to fund such a lawsuit while becoming some of the most hated people in America.
The specifics of this case are largely irrelevant to me, the fact is I am scared to cross the border into the US at this point.

For the foreseeable future I will not be travelling to the US for any reason. Canada is safe and there is nothing in the US worth risking my freedom for. I will remain here and I will continue to avoid travel to America as well as spending money on American goods/services.
Yeah, the prisons are privately operated. The cynic in me would bet that the agents have some sort of KPI or even kickback from these companies for filling the cells and costing the taxpayer $$$.
While running his other two companies (Tesla, X), being in charge of DOGE, and making political statements on stages everywhere, AND taking care of his 14 children ...

Now that I find somewhat likely.
> "The name of the Gulf of Mexico became a subject of dispute in 2025, when U.S. president Donald Trump signed Executive Order 14172, directing the U.S. interior secretary to change its name to the "Gulf of America" within the U.S. federal government. As of February 2025, the majority of Americans oppose the change.[1] The gulf has been known as the Gulf of Mexico since the 1550s,[2] having derived its name from Mexica, the Nahuatl term for the Aztecs.[3]"

What? Why is your NVIDIA modules even in the boot partition? My largest /boot is on Fedora and that's 454MiB, 87MiB on Arch and 30MiB on NixOS.

EDIT: "With grub, the situation varies; if the device has a graphics card, it usually means that driver modules need to be placed in the boot as well.", "usually" carries a lot of weight here, none of the systems I had had this kind of a requirement.

I don't know how if it's tariffs or something else, but the US has been preventing importing EVs from China for a long time. You cannot not notice all the Chinese EVs on the roads when traveling overseas. I always wondered why those cars don't make it to the US.

This is code for 'illegal alien.' Previous administrations were willfully not enforcing the law, granting temporary status to those who weren't actually eligible. The new administration is not playing that game. Catch and release is over. If you're here unlawfully, you're going to be detained until you have a hearing, which is going to send you back to where you came from most likely.
For bullies of all kinds - absolutely.
Is this saying that intel will support _only_ 512 instructions? (And not 256).

Or that it'll support _both_ 256 and 512 instructions going forwards (and stop doing the nonsense where some cores support 512 and others don't?)

"due process" is what you are due - it is what is afforded to you by the 4th amendment and habeus corpus. Op is correct.
Obviously that’s not how it works but do the majority of Americans know that? Vaccines also don’t cause autism but here we are.

The question is still who is going to stop him.
There are much worse places to wait for a flight home. How Trump and Musk acted is just ridiculous and maybe shows that the are missing the bigger picture in complex situations or lack people close to them whole tell them that an action might be a useless publicity stunt or worse have negative impacts further down the road.
The CUDA approach is just a software abstraction layer. The hardware of the NVIDIA GPUs is no more similar to the CUDA model than AVX-512 (the NVIDIA GPUs use 1024-bit vectors instead of 512-bit vectors).

There exists also for Intel AVX/AVX-512 a compiler that implements the CUDA approach (Intel Implicit SPMD Program Compiler). Such compilers could be written for translating any programming language into AVX-512, while using the same concurrency model as CUDA.

Moreover, as a software model the "CUDA approach" is essentially the same as the OpenMP approach, except that the NVIDIA CUDA compilers are knowledgeable about the structure of the NVIDIA GPUs, so they are able to map automatically the concurrent threads specified by the programmer into GPU hardware cores, threads and SIMD lanes.
> To be a little snarky here - so Senior NASA officials: honest, Musk: liar?

We know for a fact that Musk a serial liar with a very tenuous grasp of truth.

Can you say the same about the Senior NASA official?

Also, the burden of proof lies on Musk, not on NASA which literally has contingencies upon contingencies for such situations.

> Someone I know is from Australia and she said if you overstay your visa they track you down, arrest you and send you to jails outside of Australia mainland until you are eventually deported. Every country treats their border extremely strictly.

Honestly, this kind of abusive approach is predominant among certain of the major anglophone countries only, at least within the world of fully developed democratic countries, likely for reasons of shared media ownership/viewership and overlapping cultural/political attitudes but I don’t know for sure.

Yes, several other fully developed democratic countries do of course treat their borders strictly in the sense of who’s allowed in and under what circumstances, but not with these kinds of abusive treatment as a common pattern. And I do frequently read news in three languages plus a fourth occasionally, so I don’t think this is just me being biased toward news from countries that share of my native language of English.
Instead of saying it drops the optional 512-bit portion, it should say that it's now mandatory. Remove the double-negative. A better title would then be: "Intel AVX10.2 makes 512-bit mandatory: No 256-bit only E cores".

I'll second this. If a few people here contributed, tires or a laptop could happen very quickly. I'm adamant about helping others in need, but live very close to being on the need side myself. If I had the cabbage, I'd take the chance and cover it all. Alas, I'm only good for $30, which multiplied by a few more gambits of kindness, could solve some problems.

And remove visa free travel for americans.
Interesting let me try this in Apple Store. The reason why you cant find it in reviews is because not a single reviewer in modern days actually cares about the small details anymore. And even if they do most dont care about keyboard.

My instinct would be while the Key travel could remain the same ( IIRC 1mm Key travel ), but actuation force increase as it was previously something ridiculous like 35g.

Even if they bring it half way back to New Magic Keyboard used on the Desktop which I believe is 1.3mm Key Travel would have been much better.

I only skimmed everything before "From Theory to Practice: A Framework for Research as Leisure" and read everything after that, but it doesn't seem this covers actual obstacles to doing research on the side that I face. I do want to note that to the author, "research" seems to be basically a learning process, whereas I'm interested in building something, which I think is more involved. Here's my perspective on the obstacles towards this form of deeper research:

1. Lack of time and energy. This to me is the largest obstacle for any of the research side projects I've had since finishing my PhD. My day job gets the best of my time and energy and everything else gets scraps. What I do on the side tends to be more superficial than I'd like for this reason. (More specifically: Lots of reading and writing, little implementation of my ideas.) I simply don't have the energy to do much deeper work. I recently concluded that to make progress on the one side project I'm prioritizing, I'm probably going to have to take leave from my job. And it's also been necessary to think like a startup, to limit the scope and focus on a MVP. But even the MVP is still challenging.

2. Intellectual property assignment agreements. A lot of technical folks' employers made them sign agreements that arguably give the employers' full rights to what their employees do in their free time. If I'm working on a side project that could turn into a business, it's simply risky if my employer could swoop in and claim ownership of the entire thing. I think even the "favorable" versions of these agreements that limit what employers can take to things related to what the company does are still overreach. A lot of companies do tons of things and could find justification to take nearly anything for that reason.

3. Lack of collaborators and community. I think the linked article discusses "community of knowledge" in a superficial way. I haven't tried, mind you, but I think it would be really hard to find a group of people online with similar research interests to mine. I think people who have more common or less specific interests would not have a problem, but for anything more specific, finding collaborators is going to be a challenge. I think I won't find a close collaborator until I publish something (could be journal article or even a web page) and they come to me.
Yeah, thinking about that. You better hope the people of the US feel comfortable dropping $50K with enough frequency for it to be sustainable.

This article says it was literally the first operation of its kind and even though it seemingly was quite successful, they only reached a couple thousand users despite aggressively promoting it on the black market and even by using undercover agents. If any intelligence service had the capability of building a 100M+ user app like Protonmail, they would never have to ask congress for money again, because they could basically print it themselves.
I wish they'd add a USB C port on the right-hand side of the Air. Even moving one of the two on the left would be nice.
Obviously the title / article is clickbait.

But in general I have often found great benefit in many cases in obtaining packages from source and compiling them, or downloading official binaries, even if the repository does have the latest version in theory.

(shameless plug incoming): My only obstacle with such "Manually Installed [and/or] Source-Compiled" (MISC) packages was checking for updates. So I made this: https://sr.ht/~tpapastylianou/misc-updater/

Works great, and I've been slowly improving it to add 'upgrader' commands for some of the packages too.

It's not a full replacement for a package manager, nor is it meant to be. But it's made my ability to use MISC packages instead of repository ones a lot more streamlined and easier.
> can't imagine wanting to read the writing, in any form, or watch the videos or listen to the podcasts or whatever, of someone who isn't trying to say something.)

There is too much "agenda" in most things I read. If you get to the stage of getting a publishing deal, then you likely have "something to say" that is advancing that agenda.

Grass-roots publishing online has people trying to push their own agendas too of course, but you don't need to have an "edge" that publishers need to put up your own website or blog or whatever. You can put up something entirely dull and mundane.

And the crucial thing IMHO that the internet has that books don't have is the intangible and throw-away nature. How many times have you read a book all the way to the end even though you are not enjoying it or not getting anything out of it? I've found you'll often feel you must finish a book simply because you physically have the copy and that perhaps you spent real money on it too, so it feels like the right thing to do. Online you close the tab the moment you decide it's not what you want, and you don't keep on consuming the author's agenda just because you have the tab open in the same way people feel compelled to finish a book. You can open many tabs at once, scan over hundreds of sources, discarding what you don't need etc in a matter of minutes ... meanwhile with a book you've just got past the preface and you'll keep on donating your limited time alive to read through to the end of the book often even if you don't want to (obviously some people do just abandon a book mid-way through, but I've found that very often most people don't)
Have you looked at Camlistore?
> Microsoft is the Microsoft of the enterprise security market, more or less. They completely dominate email, largely dominate identity, have a plurality if not a majority on endpoint, but don't compete in network.

The most recent figures I’ve seen are that Microsoft has around 25% of the endpoint market[0], which is a plurality because the market is so fragmented. Proofpoint claims around 24% of the email security market[1].

The only security market you can say they “dominate” is identity, if you ignore the MFA market. AD is, at least, almost everywhere.

Sometimes there is no perfect solution. The court also has to take practicality into consideration.

The welfare of the child is often best served by allocating custody such that a child can stay at one residence most of the time (with regular visitation to the other parent to maintain the relationship), so that the stability of the child's living situation is not disturbed by having to constantly switch between two residences, having their school routine and social life disrupted, etc.

Also, custody split is only part of the issue. Supposing parent A earns 2x parent B's income, they should still be paying child support even if custody is 50:50, so that the same standard is maintained across both households.
Regardless of what you think of Elon Musk, the simple fact is that Tesla no longer has the market to themselves. Even in the US where they've enjoyed a home advantage (and import tariffs) that's becoming true.

It's not just the Chinese. There is a lot of competition. Korean manufacturers are very successful. In Europe, Stellantis has flooded the market with cars in price segments ranging from ~22K euros and up. And VW just announced a 20K ID.1. The cheapest Tesla in Europe is 44K or so. So, there's a rather large segment of EVs priced a lot cheaper than anything Tesla has on sale that is of course selling pretty well.

And you see the same in the luxury segment where there are a lot of EVs on sale that are more expensive than what Tesla has to offer. And let's be realistic, the model S plaid is nice. But it's nothing special in terms of luxury compared to some of the more expensive models from other manufacturers.

So the EV market is a lot larger than Tesla's corner of it. Which is basically the 44K - ~100K segment. And that segment is very crowded now as well. And it's no longer a given that Tesla is the best value deal at the prices they are selling. Even if you ignore the Elon Musk negative effect on the brand.

Tesla could lower prices, announce cheaper models, etc. of course. But the fact is that the EV market is simply becoming the car market. In a few years, most new cars will be EVs with a sprinkle of hybrids for the range nervous and dwindling number of ICE cars where they are still allowed. So, the EV market is becoming a low margin, high volume, commodity market. There's nothing Tesla can do to change that. From 2026 and on-wards, every price segment will have EV options. Cost won't be an excuse anymore.

Autonomous seems to be the wild card here. It will be a while for other manufacturers to build that themselves. Though some of the Chinese manufacturers are getting pretty good at that. This is a divisive topic of course. But it seems like a bet that could pay off if they get it to work. I have my doubts that they will have that market to themselves for very long though. Same with robotics. Or grid storage. Or electric trucks. Or solar roofs. Tesla is doing cool stuff for these things but they are hardly the only ones.
This whole situation -coupled with the outright bans or obstacles in giving visas to people from several countries- cannot but have unpredictable consequences. For example, right now, I cannot imagine any big academic international conference keep taking place in the US. And if they do, they should get boycotted. US right now is neither accessible nor safe for foreign citizens. And I bet recruiting or holding to highly skilled labour force will start being a problem too.
It's a couple things.

One is the private prison industry being incentivized to hold as many people as possible.

But there's also a bureaucracy (ICE and State) with little to no pressure to perform better for this particular population (because who cares about criminals?).

Consequently, you get an industry that's perfectly happy to warehouse people... coupled with a slow and ineffective government controlling the keys to their release.

Private detention facilities should be banned.

But the government also needs KPIs with consequences tied to them. E.g. average holding time, average response time to filing, etc. And leaders get fired / budgets cut if targets are missed.
To be fair, ISTR that around 2005 there was a group running a pentium 4 at 9.something GHz by liquid nitrogen cooling it.
>There were around 140 of us in our unit. Many women had lived and worked in the US legally for years but had overstayed their visas – often after reapplying and being denied. They had all been detained without warning.
