I've been using Rust's Burn library recently and have avoided writing kernels in CubeCL because it's lack of documentation and my lack of experience. I would love to see some working together here.

How does this interact with RealPage and other algorithmic price fixing software?

Sure. Or the Bank of England stealing $5B of Venezuela's gold since 2019 - which they still won't give back: https://www.theguardian.com/business/2026/jan/06/bank-of-eng...

This is almost exactly echoes how European leaders were completely fine with the US illegally blockading and invading Venezuela and then a week later Trump wants Greenland and suddenly they care about "territorial integrity" and what not.


We need a Nuremberg trial for the genocide in Gaza, the ethnic cleansing in Lebanon, the ethnic cleansing in the West Bank, and the illegal attacks on 7 countries in the Middle East.

We need to prosecute both the Biden and Trump administration, the Israeli leadership, and the leadership of most European countries. Never again is never again.


If so, then also do the leadership of Hamas, Putin, etc. The US is not uniquely evil.


What Israel and the USA is doing in the ME is uniquely evil. There are likely hundreds of thousands dead in Gaza. Children intentionally killed by snipers, famine as a tool of war, the displacement of millions of people.


We'll never know but it's quite likely that is the case: https://updates.techforpalestine.org/wiz-and-google-the-deal...


FYI, Wiz investor and current Wiz board member Gili Raanan, head of Israeli VC Cyberstarts, has been (credibly) accused of paying bribes to major CISOs for buying software from their portfolio companies like Wiz.

Calcalist did a deep investigation into it: https://www.calcalistech.com/ctechnews/article/b1a1jn00hc


This is well known in cybersecurity circles. I mentioned here[1] a couple years back that I know CISOs who've had to clean up big messes because their predecessor was on the Cyberstarts payroll, but on the bright side I also know a couple of those predecessors who were fired for it.

Cyberstarts is the most blatant offender, but to be fair, VC has turned into the next rung on the career ladder for CIOs/CISOs, whose role is otherwise generally terminal (unlike e.g. COO or CMO). So a lot of deals get done now just on giving CISOs a path into VC. It's more subtle than Gili's way, and just as effective.

About 20 years ago I quite liked the idea of becoming a CISO - the CIO I worked for at the time talked me out of it - saying that the role would largely involve being ignored then, when something inevitably did go wrong, you'd get sacked.


The board of a Fortune 1000 financial services company just fired the CISO and Deputy CISO because they did too good a job cataloging all of the risk in their infrastructure. Now that it's documented and defensibly quantified, the company is somewhat obliged to do something about it, and the board was not thrilled.

It can be a rough gig.


Not a lawyer but this looks like a grey area and since it's public it can be assumed everyone is trying to do it. I worked for F500 and one of the VPs was pushing some IT vendor solution that didn't really fit, after so much implementation pains and half working product release the said VP left the company... To become a board member of that IT vendor.


Too late now!


:)


I for one am shocked that an Israeli VC might behave unethically


How is this even legal? I'd think even basic conflict of interest rules between vendor and purchases would stop this.


It's almost certainly not legal (it could probably be tried as fraud), and it definitely is a breach of contract for the CISO. I'm not claiming it happened, I have no idea, just commenting on the legality of the claimed acts.

Israeli isn’t an ethnicity, it’s a nationality. Conflating the two doesn’t do anybody any favors.


Israel garnered a reputation for giving safe harbor to legally spurious businesses like NSO Group.


Mostly due to genocide


Israel is not an ethnicity. They still have 25% Arab Israelis- a leftover from the days when the founders were still building a secular European style country.

They treat them as second class ofcourse. And it is essentially a manageable minority- they are politically sidelined in the Knesset.


Sam Altman is Jewish, but he isn’t Israeli.


That was about 10 of the 50 fired. I know multiple people who were fired in a completely different office simply for standing near a sign.


I think it is a fair question: why is this allowed to stay on the front page while the deaths of people in Gaza is not? Israel just killed a bunch of journalists for organizations like the Associated Press in a double tap strike on a hospital and we're not allowed to discuss it?


I graduated 10 years ago from a public university in the US (albeit one of the best ones - so everyone was your typical high achieving student) and all of this tracks except for the functional illiteracy part.

Chronic absenteeism was normal. Disappearing students was normal. Pretending to take notes was normal. Indifference was normal. I'm sure all of the above has __always__ been happening.
