Interesting, if you tell the model: "You are an AI assistant designed to assist users by providing accurate information, answering questions, and offering helpful suggestions. Your…

Yeah, this is what I am seeing with https://ollama.com/library/deepseek-r1:32b : https://imgur.com/a/ZY0vNqR Running ollama and witsy. Quite confused why others are getting differe…

This is a great collection, thank you. :)

Plus there are hordes of academics using Clang/GCC as targets for bug-finding papers. The Csmith [1] paper alone has over a thousand citations at this point. I'd assume most of the…

Great, thanks!

Thanks. It looks like this includes comments which blows up the page count dramatically. A little unfortunate.

> Do you think more than half of all STEM graduate students had a similar experience as she did? Do you have actual data to support this? Yes, her entire description about her expe…

>So my question is - just how serious should she (and others like her, who denounce 'mainstream' academia as much as those other fringe groups who go on and on about the corruption…

They seem to be doing okay with the New Yorker, although I do not know how the magazine was viewed before their acquisition.

The customer reaction to this decision spoke volumes. The official reason given is margins compared to hardware such as the IPU but, personally, I chalk it up to turf wars. Barefoo…

Most of the locals do enjoy the Oktoberfest (speaking as someone from there). It is a fun two weeks of the year and the entire city enters a special kind of mood. But it is not sur…

New-Yorker-style long-form articles are a different reading experience compared to an article intended to deliver factoids. These articles are not meant to just deliver news. They …

For the vast majority of the degree, PhDs are not taking any classes (often, they are not even allowed to). They are just workers who either teach or research. The tuition is usual…

A big part of the reason these unionization efforts are happening: https://csstipendrankings.org/ Many universities are not paying a living wage for the area they are located in.

Yes. My office is about a 10 minute walk away. I work from home when I need to get stuff done. There are simply fewer distractions. I go to the office when I do feel live having so…

Hi Bryan, As someone deeply involved with the P4 community and contributor to the P4 compiler it is great to see someone being bullish on the language. Have been following your wor…

It's tragic, really. Tofino chips were such a promising and impactful technology.

It seems this is because the company has broadly shifted focus to softer social issues rather than technical topics. Mozilla keeps struggling with market share and users are anguis…

Let me clarify that I do not have all these issues. I am doing well for myself. This is partially because of my own cynicism, partially because of good mentors, and partially becau…

Graduate student unions are not that common in STEM subjects. MIT just got one this year for example.

>Why do you want to work for someone else, on their hours, answerable to them, doing their research and teaching their classes Well, you are still forced to do all that. After all,…

As a current CS PhD in the US I find this sentiment aggravating. I am not a mere "student", I am a full-time employee. I do not take classes and I am not interested in taking class…
