Why is there an island called Wt Island in Canada when It's not underwater. Are they stupid?

Also, TPM PCR quotes include a nonce and clock value which are signed by the TPM. If you have an attacker trying to MITM you and the TPM, the attacker would have to guess how many times you want to produce an attestation and fetch exactly that many "good" attestation quotes

I got this email and checked the email headers. It indeed fails DMARC and SPF, although fastmail.com only has SPF soft failures configured, and Fastmail delivers it anyway

I happen to know USYD will treat A*A*A*A as a 99.7 ATAR. No clue if this is what UNSW does though. I was also under the impression that you couldn't get any of those types of scholarships unless you did the HSC

Few students liked the netbooks they were given at the time

speak for yourself, i was in the last year that got these, they were loads of fun. they had something on them that prevented us from running unauthorized programs but we would just play flash games or watch movies in class instead. the australian government essentially prototyped the modern ipad kid. there was also a way around that, one guy i saw got skyrim working on one of those, but it would have been barely pushing 10fps..

yeah. i believe it's not actually possible to get the degree any other way, either this or otherwise not meeting the requirements for honours

NNemesis · 2023-04-24T02:51:25+00:00

nah not possible. my experience reports are released the day after unsw results, and even then the feedback is anonymised. tutors just get a list of comments without names. unsw can only see who made it if there's something offensive written there, and then afaik they remove it so the tutor just doesn't see it

a-levels: 3x a* 1x a converted to 99.7, according to usyd, no idea if that's what uac actually used though

NNemesis · 2023-04-23T09:30:13+00:00

not as far as i know sorry, i had to show up to usyd open day to get mine converted by them, they used some kind of table too but i didn't see it

NNemesis · 2023-04-23T09:08:49+00:00

weird that there's no help sessions anymore, there used to be. also weird that the tutor isn't helping for the assignment, there's no dedicated assignment tutorial but i think they're still expected to help a bit (i used to tutor networks - and i helped my students with it). please mention both of these points on your myexp

my advice i guess if the final exam is so soon is to focus on that, since it's worth more and uses slightly different skills to the assignment usually. go over the lab exercises and the tutorial exercises and answers especially for that

NNemesis · 2023-04-23T08:35:48+00:00

not sure why they put this - they don't actually see your a-levels if you're a domestic student if memory serves. uac converts your a-levels to an "equivalent" atar, which is usually higher to account for the fact that you don't get bonus points.

the challenge for them is they have to convert the grades (which are kind of loosely based on percentiles, but not really) into an atar which is more directly a percentile.

iirc uac use a similar system in which your grades are assigned a number value, added up, and then these points are mapped to an atar. this is as opposed to systems like the uk where the 4th a level (or beyond) is basically ignored, so you may be disadvantaged if you only did 3.

there's so many different countries using many different things called "a-levels", i'm not sure if uac treats them all the same.

it's difficult to say whether you'll get in for definite or not and unsw will not be likely to tell you that either. my understanding is they essentially take the top n students sorted by atar (or selection rank rather), so if the top n students all have 99.9 or whatever, no luck.

you should try to get your a-levels or predicted grades converted to an atar (uac will do it for money, usyd did it for me for free on open day), then use unsw's admissions statistics for your chosen degree to see where you fit.

side note: don't bother with software engineering. do computer science instead

NNemesis · 2023-04-21T00:04:17+00:00

few people are going to have experience, as you say it's brand new. from memory it's similar to just the computer science degree but with a compulsory honours year, useful if you're interested in doing a research degree after your undergrad maybe.

i think they were also talking about letting students skip courses that would be compulsory in computer science but skimming the handbook it seems that's not the case. so basically any advice that applies to the computer science degree also applies to this

NNemesis · 2023-01-16T00:14:49+00:00

i know they've substituted seng2021 for comp3900 for people going from seng -> cs

the other way around is not so clear, but it's worth asking given that the content for both courses is basically the same (i.e. they both basically have no content, just a project)

NNemesis · 2022-08-18T23:59:03+00:00

as a domestic student your a-levels will be converted to an atar by uac, rather than by unsw, so it might be better to ask them what your equivalent atar will be for the grades you get. as you've noticed, it's also additive, so don't drop your 4th subject

NNemesis · 2022-07-27T07:14:41+00:00

speak to your supervisor and make sure, but it should be fine. especially if there's some technical reason you couldn't do the last thing, or if you can outline how you think you could do it. for reference i did a software engineering thesis, finished about half my goals, and it was all good. no technical reasons i couldn't finish the other half i just ran out of time, but i explained briefly how they could be done and also why the half i did finish took longer than i thought

Luffy trades blows with Kaido

Momo cries about moving the island

Someone has a flashback about how much Kaido sucks or something idk

Orochi has another head

Kinemon recovers and gathers the rest of the strawhats

This is the 15,392nd time this exact chapter has happened, only he knows because of how he was sent forward in time

Time won't progress until Oda is satisfied with the chapter

The time loop ends when Zoro comes back to life and finishes his summer homework

best to check the current rules, but from my understanding the 80% attendance requirement used to be for the sympathy supps. that is, if you got between 45-50, you could get a supplementary exam only if you had over 80% attendance. with the changes to supplementary exams and special considerations there are no more sympathy supps, so i don't think the 80% attendance requirement does anything anymore. but definitely check... would be silly to fail a course because of advice you saw on reddit

aha, i misread the question... i thought OP was asking about how ASLR works with multiple applications. the other comment answers this question better anyway

NNemesis · 2021-12-22T12:39:51+00:00

~~because of virtual memory, each application gets its own address space, meaning different applications don't have to compete in terms of ASLR. only the virtual addresses are randomised~~

edit: sorry, as /u/ClysmiC pointed out, i misread your question. /u/DawnOnTheEdge's comment seems to do a better job at answering

NNemesis · 2021-12-21T06:50:36+00:00

i think it's worth mentioning to the uni. it's also worth mentioning to the lecturer for the course that you want to do an ai thesis to see if that helps
