Some people do get upset; some people don’t.

The easily upset don’t—or refuse to—understand that 1) some of us have brains that just don’t remember people’s names very well, and that 2) they should get over themselves.

I noticed today the Tom’s Hardware has been keeping track of Chinese GPU developments.

They don’t have a tag for tracking Chinese GPUs in particular, but they have one for GPU news in general.

China also seems to have some interesting embargo work-arounds:

This isn’t simply a matter of Biden pleasing his donors, nor is it really about Biden in particular. This is the liberal international order working as designed, namely that the US makes the rules and orders everyone else around. Israel is a settler-colonial project of the Western imperial core, and it has been the US’ unsinkable aircraft carrier in West Asia for generations. As Biden has said throughout his career, “were there not an Israel, the United States of America would have to invent an Israel to protect her interest in the region.” The Hague Invasion Act has been on the books for over 20 years, so this is nothing new and has always been bipartisan.

Computer Scientists Invent an Efficient New Way to Count (www.quantamagazine.org)

Traditionally, algorithms for counting distinct items in a stream of data would store all the items. A new algorithm, called CVM, uses randomization to estimate the number of distinct items with minimal memory usage. The trick is to keep track of items by recording them and then randomly deleting some. The probability of an item...

High praise indeed! waow-based Variyam co-develops innovative new data analysis algorithm

The authors presented their new algorithm at the 2022 European Symposium on Algorithms, a premier international conference on algorithm design. Since then, their discovery has been gaining recognition and praise from computer scientists across the field, including world-renowned computer scientist Donald Knuth, author of “The Art of Computer Programming,” who is often referred to as "the father of the analysis of algorithms.”

In May 2023, Knuth published his own paper on the algorithm, “The CVM Algorithm for Estimating Distinct Elements in Streams [PDF],” offering extensive praise and even naming it the CVM algorithm in honor of its inventors. Knuth said in addition to “explaining the ideas to just about everybody [he] meets,” he expects the algorithm to become a foundational aspect of computer science in the near future.

"Their algorithm is not only interesting; it is extremely simple,” Knuth said in the paper. “It’s wonderfully suited to teaching students who are learning the basics of computer science. I’m pretty sure that something like this will eventually become a standard textbook topic.”

As Knuth predicted and Variyam hoped, the algorithm has already found a place in computer science courses.

From Knuth’s paper:

Algorithm D (Distinct element estimation). Given an arbitrary data stream A = (a1, a2, . . . , am) and a buffer size s ≥ 1 as described above, this algorithm returns an unbiased estimate of |A| = |{a1, a2, . . . , am}|. It uses a buffer B that’s capable of holding up to s ordered pairs (a, u), where a is an element of the stream and u is a real number, 0 ≤ u < 1.

D1. [Initialize.] Set t ← 0, p ← 1, and B ← ∅.
D2. [Done?] Terminate if t = m, returning the estimate |B|/p.
D3. [Input a.] Set t ← t + 1 and a ← at, the next element of the stream.
D4. [Remove a from B.] If B contains the pair (a, u), for any u, delete it.
D5. [Maybe put a in B.] Let u be a uniform deviate, independent of all others (namely a random real number in the range 0 ≤ u < 1). If u ≥ p, go back to step D2. Otherwise, if |B| < s, insert (a, u) into B and go back to step D2.
D6. [Maybe swap a into B.] (At this point u < p and |B| = s.) Let (a’, u’) be the element of B for which u’ is maximum. If u > u’, set p ← u. Otherwise replace (a’, u’) in B by (a, u) and set p ← u’. Then go back to step D2.

There’s the ongoing nationwide persecution of college students protesting genocide, for one.

How US gov’t prosecution of Uhuru activists threatens a ‘First Amendment exception’

Then there’s Julian Assange, who the US has been persecuting from afar for the last 13 years despite 1) breaking no US laws, 2) not being a US resident or citizen and 3) not having been on US soil. It does this to threaten journalists not just at home but everywhere.

davel , (edited )
@davel@lemmy.ml avatar

How is that relevant? Political dissidents like Omali Yeshitela and journalists like Assange have also been persecuted before, but why point it out?

Honestly it sounds like you may be trying to make excuses for these attacks on student protestors by claiming that they’re an inevitable force of nature. That it’s always been this way and always will be. Nothing to see here, move along. Hopefully that’s not what you’re trying to do.

And no, the state is not persecuting students for thinking, it’s persecuting them for the same reason it’s persecuting Yeshitela and Assange: for expressing things it would rather not have expressed.
