Well, yeah, if it's not standard operating procedure I'd hope they'd refuse. Now, it should be supported, but I don't want the folks on the front lines guessing (or figuring out on their own) what sorts of mathematical g

Good for her! Unfortunately, your anecdote is not representative. Many older teachers are getting forced out because, well, they're expensive and new teachers are underpaid. https://www.teacherportal.com/teacher-salar

This is missing a big portion of the picture: GPUs and other heterogeneously attached accelerators.

One challenge with AVX-512 is that it can actually _slow down_ your code. It's so power hungry that if you're using it on more than one core it almost immediately incurs significant throttling. Now, if everything you're doi

I installed Adguard myself after reading this post — it appears as though they've split the functionality into many extensions, and only a few require full-page access. I'm trying it without those "advanced" extensions

It's like Pied Piper, but with cryptography instead of compression!

Yes, I get that. So is Keybase banking on XLM itself to drive their revenue?

When I first saw this I just assumed it was some sort of spam/scam. What's the rationale for giving away money here? Is it purely Keybase/Stellar marketing? How is Keybase planning on making money?

It's actually pretty scary giving out money (in any form) to international peoples potentially sanctioned by OFAC. Making it their problem through an EULA is an interesting strategy.

How does compromising a GitHub or HN account compromise the linked Keybase account? Yes, you can link to those accounts on Keybase, but the trust relationship is going the other way: Keybase is proving that you had access to those accounts

I mean, it is by definition defensive. They're pushing back against some of P0's claims. Project Zero (whether it's housed at Google or not) has a vested interest in making their detections as newsworthy as possible. Appl

Yes. The joke the original commenter is playing is that Fermat's `x³ + y³ = z³` is equivalent to `x³ + y³ + (-z)³ = 0`.

Yes. 0³+0³+0³. Or x³+(-x)³+0³.

Downvoted for the straw man — Intel is currently selling processors with, e.g., 8 cores and 16 threads without any asterisks or caveats. That's in their official marketing materials. Currently. https://a.sellpoint.net&#x2F

Have there been any rumors of internal discovery at Intel prior to any of these disclosures?

Yeah, I'm sure that will go over well. "No, I don't have a Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram account, but I do have an account on this site called Hacker News." "Oh, so are you a hacker?" Good luck.

It's not just skin color, though. It's height. It's face structure. It's the fact that some Sneeches have stars while others are without thars. It's a natural diversity of _everything_. Yes some aspects of that

An auto-updating browser is essential to me. For nearly all other software I abhor automatic updates, but for something as vulnerable as a browser it's absolutely crucial.

I saw the parent's comment more countering the grandparent's assertion that He Jiankui will be lauded. He will not. He may go down in history, but he will appear in the ethics chapter alongside Dr. Rascher and will not be lauded.

The whole company is premised upon a conflict of interest. They rent space from the founder. What's another 5.9 million between friends?

This is what I've been seeing, too. If everyone is expecting a recession, then the recession gets "priced into" the current valuations. The big trouble comes if the expectations/pricings are off in some sector.
