This is about UK universities.

by john-h-k 1y ago
I’d be willing to bet the number of students that pick a UK university over Oxbridge in the next year will round to 0%. The times rankings mean nothing at this granularity (whereas being top 20 vs top 100 _is_ significant)

No, I don’t think it is. There is no billionaire secretly hoarding all the top university spots. And no one is saying immigrants are taking the spots. This seems like completely unrelated political posting

Yes, and it is bad if the government do that. It does not mean it is then correct to claim he has beliefs he doesn’t. We should be saying “we don’t know his beliefs and the government is making a power grab”

I don’t think there is yet enough evidence to show the political beliefs of the suspect in either direction. Seems X/Bluesky is awash with certainty that it’s “the other side” but I have not seen any good hard evidence of this

You mention modern server CPUs have capability to “read direct to L3, skipping memory”. Can you elaborate on this?

If this is true, why doesn’t someone sue and make an absolute huge amount of money?

I would be willing to bet intelligence is a much larger deciding factor in grades than interest is. Most people I know who got top grades had barely any interest in many of the subjects

You are borrowing the entire list. That’s fine. The problem occurs if you borrow a reference into the list. Java/C# solve this by making that operation impossible. You cannot hold a reference into a vector/list

The line of code in the article is `Math.max(nproc / 2, 1)`. So 1 core yields 1 thread. Only CPUs with an odd number of cores, no SMT, and >1 core will hit this bug. Not very common

This seems _so_ much like a fake weapon. It shoots an ice pellet, which can stay perfectly intact for a range of 100m(!), yet leaves a “tiny red prick on the victim” (implying it’s maybe a ~1mm in diameter), yet also instantly melts when it
