Shield is a 10 year old device at this point. It's essentially the 2017 hw that they've refreshed a couple of times with minor changes. Wait for the actual shield next for proper support.
Yes, there is no point in grading homework or essays. This has been largely true in India and China anyway, and the US will have to move to similar model of standardized tests and in person exams. Universities are anyway proxies for IQ filtering. It is perhaps impolite to say so explicitly in the west, but people will have to confront that.
It's describing a different type of parallelism - pipeline parallelism. The network is laid out spatially on the wafer in CB's case. So weights are stationary and activations flow. A GPU is going to process the network one layer at a time. GPUs also use other types of parallelism (tensor and expert mainly in inference). Pipeline parallelism doesn't make much sense on a GPU for inference.
The reason 2D grids work well is because you can split tensor axes along whatever dim you want across PEs (batch, sequence, hidden, etc.). And your per PE code is relatively simple. It's of the type : get data from neighbor, compute my subtensor, send to neighbor. And you can implement broadcasts and reductions along any axis.
No, yubikey in the fido/webauthn form protects against phishing/TOTP snooping and replay over the web. TPMs for luks don't. See the other thread about evil maid.
That's a minor convenience to not type passphrases and a fairly high risk of you losing the backup key. Not to mention, the entirely separate problem of storing the backup key securely. It doesn't pass the xkcd "correct horse battery staple" test for me.
What does it matter if it doesn't unlock the disk? It's a different device with a logger. The purpose of the maid is to be evil and steal your pin. The maid has your real device. The only way to prevent this is by you authenticating the device before you enter anything. Look at the heads project (https://github.com/linuxboot/heads).
What problem is this solving though? The post says they're doing this to avoid typing passphrases. Why would you want the private key hidden in the tpm chip of that device? How will you decrypt if the laptop goes bust or if you move the drive elsewhere?
Why is everybody (in the government) in the EU so illiterate? Do they not understand that their economies are dead and football streaming isn't going to save them.
>Why pay to reach many thousands of people with a widely read paper when you can pay pennies to reach dozens of people that you don't want to apply to the job anyway?
Because the requirement is good faith effort, not exhaustive search. So much of this thread is people not understanding the law. The purpose or the requirement isn't to interview 342M Americans and reject them and only then would you hire a foreign national. People wish that that were the case, but it isn't.
Ya, dude, it takes time. Are you unfamiliar with how federal litigation works? So far we have a tweet from the government. They need to put whatever they have concocted in writing and send it to MS. Then MS will file a complaint that shows injury. Or they'll negotiate a settlement even before it goes to trial. And so on. Like I said, we shall revisit in a few months once the dust settles.
Courts deal with live controversies, they do not rule on abstract things. So, if the case moves to trial, the court will rule that there is no such thing as a legal blanket ban as enacted here. As for settling, you can go back to the top of the thread where I claim that there is no successful prosecution. If you think that is a win, more power to you. I get the feeling that we have been in agreement the whole time. Make noise -> shakedown -> press release -> settle is what happens always. I count that as 'no successful prosecution', and you count that as a win.
The purpose of the system is what it does. At the very least 2 votes on the bench are default admin votes. It's not the activists who are claiming things. You can look up overall SCOTUS approval trendlines.
The present unilateral action of banning MS from using PERM is unlawful as MS hasn't broken any laws. (PERM has its own cooldown mechanism of timeouts after layoffs. I'm not talking about those.) If the US government bars MS on any grounds of fraud, abuse, misrepresentation, etc., or if the US government tries to claim that they have the power to unilaterally ban PERM for MS, they will lose in court or settle. We can revisit this in a few months.
It's local maxima vs global maxima. Or 10% of small pie vs 1% of big pie, etc. More to the parent's point though, HN demographics have changed just like all other social media. It's not the SF Bay area tech scene anymore; it's a global townsquare like x.com. So it's hard to separate the signal from the noise.
And the APA passed in 1946. What you are pointing to is regulation. And Chevron was overturned recently. There is no jurisdiction review bar for PERM. I am willing to bet actual money that MS will win at trial or it will be settled out of court like everything else.
This is just textbook APA stuff. There is no such thing as a legal blanket ban. The executive does not have the authority to do any of this. And I will bet my money that MS has been following the law. Hopium and copium are free though, so I can't stop you from smoking it. The most likely outcome here is again a settlement after the midterms and some money thrown at Trump or Vance.
Family sponsored immigration is also severely backlogged. Look at the dates for family categories in https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/legal/visa-law0/v.... I don't know how many Bangladeshis are in Queens and how they ended up there, but it's a combination of illegal, asylum, and family/employment ones.
I'm confused then. What are you trying to say? I am claiming that there is no meaningful fraud, misrepresentation, or abuse; everything is happening by the books with > 90% approval; things are working as designed and present theatre is political theatre for midterms.
Yes, the present blanket ban is unlawful which will be overturned by the courts as arbitrary and capricious (similar to tariffs, 100k fee, and countless other things that this admin has done). I mean that historically PERM approval rates have been above 90%.
No, I never implied that they fail. They do not prosecute or deny any PERM certifications. PERM is anyway not tied to inadmissibility of an alien as PERM is an employer driven certification process. Recall that PERM is administered by the Dept. of Labor. Specifically for PERM, they need to prove in a court of law that the company is violating civil rights, labor laws, discriminating against a protected class, doing fraud, etc. They do not do that at the administrative level (by denying PERM) or at the judicial level (by winning a court case). All they do is make speeches on the campaign trail, and occasionally settle out of court as some other sibling comments' examples in Apple, META, etc. show.
