That's rough dude. Why do you think I'm such a failure? I'm not actually sure what semantics you're referring to, btw. AFAIK you went to CMU ECE (not SCS) and not Harvard so I'm not so sure you can make that compari

What does one do if we've been deemed not good enough for top schools or institutions?

At an internship we heavily used Windows RDP over our local network - worked phenomenally well, basically 1:1 when connecting to our "home desk" desktop. I think RDP + very high bandwidth network is the best way to do it still.

As someone that is also a minority, I'm both aware and heartbroken that it became a very popular form of bullying towards children after 2015 [0]. Racist bullying isn't new of course, but this particular phrase is fairly new. [0]

I’m skeptical that many people care to do a drastic intervention like this. I was in AG but if I wasn’t I would have gone to the same school. (If it matters, I grew up Asian.)

It’s honestly extremely funny to see Google burn millions in R&D on the AMD hardware, Linux porting tools and runtime, as well as the improvements to WebRTC while their competitors just used AWS GPU instances (like Shadow) or their own

Might be wrong, but I'm under the impression that the video encoding has a significantly higher energy cost on the Quest 2. Virtual Desktop even allows an OC setting if I remember correctly. It helps, of course, that the bandwidth requ

Tell me, what's a poor sap like me who couldn't get into a good school to do if these conversations ultimately devolve into how hopeless it is if you don't get into a top institution? It either matters enough that I'm sc

Correct, and that should end. One of the many reasons I was overjoyed to vote for a non-Ivy ticket last November.

I see her work referenced here and there - what is she known for exactly? (I personally can't stand the writing style, but I get the appeal.)

Maybe I should be more clear - I didn't go to a Tier1 public school, didn't get into an elite school, how screwed am I?

I don’t think anybody thinks going is expensive, the expensive part is getting in, something fundamentally out of reach by design for 99.9% of the population and 95% of the applicant pool. Something is really rotten with this country if the

Everyone talks about the billionaires soaking up the windfall for the last 40 years, but really it's the upper middle class that's leading the charge here. Massive wealth inequality in this country is being driven by an increasing
