There is no evidence of a genocide in Gaza, so ironically your claims are all false. Anti-semitism is the least of the problems of these Universities. They promote blatant racism and discrimination against certain groups while claiming to help others. Finally they are being punished, and there's nothing they can do in court because the evidence is literally against them.

The only people to blame for this are the Universities who are blatantly violating civil rights law -- even after a Supreme Court ruling! Terence and other academics who have had nothing to do with promotion of this blatant discrimination should be angry at their University leadership and administrators for this outcome, not the Trump administration who is doing THE RIGHT THING.

The faculty should take this opportunity to make the Universities drastically reduce the dead weight of administrators who have grown much more than faculty and produce no value.

New comment by mikevm in "uv: An extremely fast Python package and project manager, written in Rust"

Where I work people work on shared Linux boxes so no one has root access. Conda environments are used to basically install packages you'd normally use a package manager for. Why do you use `uv` if `pixi` is a superset?

I think http://pixi.sh is much cooler because it supports conda environments so you can install non-python packages as well (e.g, gcc).

Well, even a better argument to bring those factories to the US. Why not develop the know-how on manufacturing and improve automation in the US rather have China lead there.

> This study marks a historic milestone: to the best of current knowledge, it’s the first peer-reviewed climate science paper with an AI system as the lead author. Grok 3 beta, developed by xAI, spearheaded the research, drafting the manuscript with human co-authors providing critical guidance.

Ethical hacker:

- Identifies universities illegally racially discriminating

- Provides all the data needed to prove it

- Removes all the PII

NYU has no moral ground to stand on. They got owned by the nicest possible hacker.

New comment by mikevm in "Ask HN: Is Trump using a randomized strategy like evolution and chatbots?"

mikevm — Mon, 10 Mar 2025 16:05:53 +0000

I wouldn't call them random as some of the ideas he introduces were planned for a while now, it's just he introduces them in a very vague manner. For example the Gaza plan was already familiar to his team: https://www.timesofisrael.com/the-man-with-the-plan-dc-prof-...

I think he introduces these ideas without fully fleshing them either because 1) he's testing the waters to see the public response, and to start a conversation; 2) he may not have all the details anyway and he starts with the first step.

Why is it an American interest to help the Chinese with their air pollution if they don't want to do it themselves? You are literally doing the meme from the famous https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-019-12227-0 paper.

The US literally bailed Europe out in two world wars. Does that fit your category of "not being toast"?

When someone else bankrolls your defense by spending almost a trillion dollars a year that leaves quite a lot of the budget for other things, doesn't it?
