How about we start by open-sourcing the NVIDIA user-space libraries: libcuda, libcudart, libOpenCL, libnvtx, as well as nvidia-smi and the CUDA and OpenCL profilers.
It is the _main_ activity which "generates value" for an institution, whose primary goal is conducting research.
Checking students' homework is part of what it means to be a TA. Grading is a choice the university makes; it's absence makes one no less of a TA.
> being a TA is not some awful exploitation
It's certainly exploitation. For some TAs, who get overworked and lorded over, and in universities when the pay is low, it's awful exploitation. For most TAs it is 'regular' exploitation of getting a crappy salary for serious highly-skilled work.
That has not had an actual release for something like 12 years, and has had known unaddressed security vulnerabilities for... what is it now, a year? Two years?
That is a dead project. Please Tell your mom to tell her bosses they really should switch to LibreOffice. Which is simply the continued development of the same thing. The municipality can write the Document Foundation and ask for assistance:

and there are of course commercial companies which do LO transitions too.
I wonder if the argument cannot be made that it has delivered little payoff in tech as well - in terms of actual stable revenue vis-a-vis the immense capital investments, the deep loans, the circular commitments etc.
I've been reading an AI-generated technical proposition. It was even slower for me.
> Beyond this, most models are extremely verbose, which makes total reading time much higher.
Painfully true. When I took a semster of law studies and got my first homework assignment, I was flabbergasted by how short the submission length limits were. I could barely write an introduction to my mini-paper with that number of pages! And I was expecteds to cover everything, and have an explicit conclusion, and a complete and meticulous bibliography. I struggled sooo much to be more concise and to let go of less-critical points I wanted to make! But it was a great intellectual and rhetorical exercise.
War, invasions, occupations - it's a growth business apparently. The UK government approves.
2. I am somewhat suspicious of this statistic. A 70% jump in one month? I doubt it. Perhaps there was some change in regulation? Coordinated removal of models from the market? Or maybe a collapse in availability of some models or of car sales overall?
A lot of good software, if not most of it, doesn't come from "the industry"...
And your search includes papers mentioning the various ideas you heard about from those other people. They almost always publish _something_ about it, and in the rare cases they do not, you put them in the "thanks" section, describing which ideas they contributed to (or in very rare cases, cite an unpublished result/claim as "personal communication" from an author).
I was in academic for a number of years (Theoretical Comp Sci, then DB management systems architecture), and what I just described seems to have been the practice. It is of course possible that people neglected to cite the sources of some of their ideas, but not that I know of. The worst I could say is that several authors' work exhibited a similar approach and a person preferred to cite one of them rather than another.
... which is not to say it's irrelevant, but still: Why is it worthwhile to have a separate language for this, rather than some library with bindings in various languages?
As for the post / the repo itself, this analysis:

suggests it is LLM-generated. Not sure what to make of it.
So, unless the first two opinions are completely identical - yeah, definitely get the third. Better to go for people with slightly different specializations if relevant.

Why?Cancer is not a condition that develops due to genes you inerited, after all, right? And also - for any cancer? Just some of them?
But let's look at the font used here on HN. Sure, it's monospace, but it's not particularly thin. Mx ... the x-height is pretty close the em-width. So that quote should probably read "for our idea of typical serif fonts".
