We've never been accepted, but my experience with application process indicates this isn't strictly true. We're not getting any more charismatic, but they have continued to show interest in us applying. Not sure if that'

It doesn’t sound like you’re applying online, so this might not apply but: Write the most fragile resume parser you can. Now make it so your resume can be parsed by it. This made a world of difference for me last go around.

I honestly had no idea JAX was useful outside autograd, due to my own tunnel vision. I even used it with other libraries to do this kind of work. Is there a term for this type of mistake?

Almost every time I've heard this mentioned it's framed as "I live in such a backward place, they have a law that requires everyone to own guns."

Our state has a program that covers tuition if you are in-state, received good grades in high school, and continue to maintain those. Of my (undergraduate) classmates, I believe 60% were out of state, including out of country. Unfortunately

Not a lot of people. What would be the modern day equivalent? It certainly isn’t dating, that’s too broad. Maybe “I started seeing someone”?

So if misery of the poor and inequality largely aren't the same, there might be a path where inequality increases while the quality of life of the poor also increases?

From the quote, I read: "most people can end up miserably poor" == "ever-increasing inequality" Which begs the question - is the misery of poverty due to the lack of access to important goods or services, or because of t

Can you explain your reasoning and or insight for these conclusions? Personally I see Comma.ai as more likely to "never figure it out" than Cruise and others, but I lack special insight.

Probably a lot. On another level, do you think there is a universal ordering of addictions, or might it depend somewhat on individual proclivities? Say, might ones real addiction be porn, and they use gambling as a less harming replacement?

I just looked at the System76 laptops, and they are strikingly similar to the Powerspec(Micro Center)/Sager laptops? Is the resemblance superficial or something else?

Not typical in the US afaik. In my undergraduate, I had one course taught by a graduate student, and he was somewhere around twice my age. Recitation is typically taught by a graduate student, but taught is a loose word. Seems like recitati
