Regulate universities to reduce what they can charge for education. Federally kill teachers unions that have caused rot in public education. Do NOT forgive student loan debt as more than 50% of the debt is held by "high net worth" [0] individuals and graduate degree seekers [1]. Bailing out student loan debt without regulating what colleges can charge will only make current issues in education worse.

> Smart people command more value than dumb people
Completely disagree. This is one of the biggest lies being forced by the higher castes in the US. "Smart" is subjective, "value" is subjective.
Let's be honest: this statement only true because a certain class of people want it to be true. I value k-12 education in my world view more than I value derivitaves traders: in my ideal world teaching would be a high-paying competitive field and Black-Scholes would mean absolutely nothing.
But I can't tell if you don't realize the world we live in is what me we make it, or if you just accept what you are told the world "should be" because you're benefiting from the system and are scared to make it equitable.
"smart" in terms of navigating society and understanding where value is. What things are worth learning vs not learning, what kinds of skills are worth taking risks for etc. "smart" in terms of just having a degree and believing that being credentialed = intelligence is completely orthogonal to the point I intended.
A stupid person will fall for get rich quick schemes. A stupid person will believe grinding it out at a job they hate will eventually lead to something better. A stupid person will lack the will to try hard enough to better themselves.
It would have helped if you had actually explained your terms, since you made up your own definitions we don't have a common understanding.
The real question is, of course: are you ever "stupid"?
And what I mean by that is you set out a very black/white view of who is worthy and who isn't, and I bet dollars to donuts you don't live up to your own standards because that's where black/white thinking leads. It helps everyone to not think in such subjective, judgemental, and largely pejorative terms. I think the world would be better served if we started from the position "everyone has value."
My biggest hurdle as a mostly back end engineer with a shaky but workable knowledge of react is creating a page that doesn't entirely break moving from desktop to mobile. Like most things today, there are hundreds of "valid" ways to do this with each JS tutorial / dev seeming to have their own preferences that are seemingly completely arbitrary to me.
Excited to learn more about this! Dig the design for his page as well - wish I could hire a designer / dev hybrid for $300-400 to make a single page site like this! (inquiries welcome)
If Biden follows the playbook he had with Barack goodness knows he'll give the boys in blue and black whatever they want when it comes to surveillance of private citizens.
I never had a drinking problem, but quitting alcohol altogether has resulted in nothing but positive outcomes.
It's curious how my friends from college are largely in two groups now (not correlated to intelligence or motivation);
A) not really that interested in alcohol and focussed on work
B) focused on work but drink every night and still "party" all the time
This is seemingly an American phenomenon that's incredibly regressive and also seems to negatively affect women more than men. For whatever reason, women also seem more susceptible to the trap of drinking and partying excessively.
Very interesting to see how they bailed on using an IHS over the two dram modules ON the processor die! I love how you can see "reach" engineering solutions in apple products, it's clear that they realized the ram would be too large to fit under an IHS and just decided to go with what ended up in the M1 Mac Mini. Very much hoping apple starts allowing even third party nvidia drivers again for latest gen GPU's...
They clearly do have room for a larger IHS that covers the RAM too, but either this makes manufacturing cheaper since they didn't have to change anything from the previous rev or there's actually a real benefit to not dumping excess core heat directly into the RAM (seems more likely). Sinking heat is great, but only if the temperature differential points away from what you're trying to cool.
Unfortunately it looks like they're taking the opposite approach, and phasing out even AMD drivers, with eGPUs apparently (?) not supported on M1 devices. It seems they want to phase out all non Metal APIs.
(Which is to say, I bet the return of eGPUs on mac will only happen if apple releases a discrete Metal-based GPU)
It makes sense, so far as it means they can further integrate hardware solutions they make themselves and not deal with a higher level driver interfaces. Otherwise they'll be limited to incorporating features present in all supported vendors.
> and phasing out even AMD drivers, with eGPUs apparently (?) not supported on M1 devices. It seems they want to phase out all non Metal APIs.
That doesn’t make sense as Metal APIs are implemented on top of the graphics drivers. There’s Metal drivers for AS, Intel iGPU, and AMD. The last two are not built for arm64. On AMD’s side it would require work from AMD as most of the driver is shared code from Windows. I wouldn’t be surprised if that changes in the future.
You're right -- I didn't mean to imply that's why eGPUs aren't supported right now, I meant I suspect it's a policy change, and Apple plans to move to more integrated drivers in the future, so in "Courage!" fashion, they've preemptively ditched it.
I can't imagine there's a hard technical reason why they couldn't support eGPUs. I've used both AMD and nvidia Linux drivers on a ppc64le workstation -- I'd be surprised if porting to darwin/arm64 was that much work. Their endianness matches -- though the difference in page sizes might be a problem. On Linux, some drivers just assume 4kb page sizes, and updating them is really difficult[1]. But AMD and Intel GPU drivers are fine with non-4kb at least, so...
I think part of the issue with the eGPU as mentioned in the forum post that is linked is that the drivers haven't been compiled for arm64. So maybe they will bring it back once the drivers are stable enough?
Wow, OneItemStore is awesome. Any chance there's a way to peak at the source? I'm just starting to dip my toes in front-end anything and simple projects like OneItemStore still seem quite daunting.
It's not hard - work in the office will always be paid more than remote work because communication in the office requires less inertia and is more efficient.
I wouldn't be surprised if JaneStreet open sources an internal tool soon-ish. They've actually been writing a number of custom plugins and modules for WireShark to support internal custom protocols and seem to have a lot of features they'd like that aren't currently present in WireShark.
