Sure, I don't doubt your ability to do so yourself. I just question your ability to trust some random unknown figure with your data if you have enough scale. That's quite different, actually.

I removed it on Fold 5-7 and it felt a lot better. It won't kill the product like it did back in Fold 1 days. The screen is a lot more sensitive to micro scratches than your run if the mill gorilla glass though.

Yes, I agree that at any of these top universities, the egregious cases are not that likely. However, I do think they still do not do proper "diligence" and were reliant on students to basically take a unit and happily handed out

May be obvious to you. I don't know, but to be clear, nothing new is "banned" here. The schools are now more carefully following the existing published guidelines, rather than playing fast and loose with work authorizations

I ask because I did not use the term "abuse," as that's subjective. Circumvent was picked precisely because it was a clear run around the intent of the program, without the value judgement. The keyword is "Day 1 CPT&quot

That is not true. It does not restrict anyone from applying for OPT and pursue one or more internships. Given your other comment, it is pretty obvious you are not super familiar with the details of CPT vs OPT.

Reading the article it explicitly says if CPT is designed as part of your program of study that you need to complete to satisfy the degree requirements, they are fine. They just won't approve it for optional internships. That's

Not sure what you mean by "abuse" or what you are skeptical of? Please clarify what stats are you looking for?

How is this related to being "welcome" or not? Of course they are very welcome to study. They are simply not encouraged to circumvent their program of study and go to work under the guise of "CPT."

On the bright side, at least the exploit is memory safe.

Many cheap modems ("WinModem") had drivers that did DSP logic on the system CPU as opposed to their board relied on MMX.

It was a general metaphor but a reference to Windsurf. On the boomerang side, Noam Shazeer went on to do Character AI and came back via acquisition only to leave again to OpenAI.

9 figure is hardly enough when some kid sells their vscode fork to them for more, is it? Why not just boomerang and get $$$.

IIRC, it is not a VPN, it is a HTTPS proxy with client certificates. It relies on a proxy script to forward certain URLs to that proxy based on URL/hostname. It wouldn't necessarily proxy, say, your facebook.com traffic, unlike a

Yes, just one obvious example -- extrapolate to general life. That said, ease of access and scale beyond a critical point can make it qualitatively different.
