At least in experimental physics a significant chunk of your time is taken up by menial duties. This might be babysitting the gas-detector or anything from server maintenance, PCB-design, ASIC development. Some of it can turn into your PhD

There is no recent history of the US interning and torturing parts of their own population because of their religion or ethnicity. That is in a totally different category than foreign policy or stuff they did while Mao’s policies starved 20

It’s a felony to pretend to be a cop, so there is that.

Well just in terms of chance of infection a mass gathering is much worse than individuals refusing to follow orders. We have those her e in Germany as well, including right and left wing conspiracy theorists.

I agree and ironically I still find reading the paper edition of a high quality news paper to be much more pleasurable than scrolling through a news feed or navigating the ad-laden webpages of a newspaper. In fact the user experience on mos

As an outside observer most of American news reporting seems totally ridiculous. If the German government announced a retraining / job initiative there would be a factual article in serious print media. Any criticism included would mos

I followed the SICP book cover to cover, when I was 17 and I remember it being a mind blowing experience.

Hammer is just a driver for tools that cost >100k to license. And that doesn't include access to memory compilers, which you would also need.

They have Norman Jouppi, he apparently was involved in the TPU design.

Well to be more accurate I saw a moderator claim that any comment that mentions it gets flagged to him and even if he allows the comment, it will reappear in the moderation queue.

Yup and they censor any mention of thedonald.win which is a clone of the subreddit.

Also good luck getting 1B converted to dollars without a major head-ache. I feel like 1B in bitcoin is as bad if not even worse than 1B in cash. It isn't super useful in that form.

Most of that verification infrastructure is tied to proprietary tooling in some way or another. In the case of IBM they have a lot of in house EDA tooling that they aren't willing to release or even talk about much. They extended vhdl

All of the Ukraine color revolutions were clearly US / CIA / foreign intelligence agency backed ( https://www.theguardian.com/world/2004/nov/26/ukraine.usa ). Both the EU, Germany and the US had

One of the few dangerous bike accidents I had involved a eBike. They should require a license to operate, their acceleration and breaking is far less predictable than normal bicycles and 15 year old kids should not be allowed to operate the

Because sometimes it is better to keep a large number of people occupied with one specific goal instead of trying to convince them to do something else. This ultimately boils down to people, most of them are very smart and capable and could

While it is one project it also is an umbrella to fund a large number of smaller projects. Whole institutes were funded and build in part to develop detector components for the LHC. A project like this gives everyone a common goal and pushe

Well these centralised resources are books. There are high quality (almost standard) books for most subjects. Want to learn Analysis at a Graduate level? Pick one of the popular books Rudin (for example) and work through it. Same goes for Q

I think you have a fundamentally wrong conception of what it takes to learn advanced concepts. In most cases you can't autograde or award points for everything, it also isn't what University education should be about. It is sad en

It is interesting how different countries and cultures deal with the same challenge. Streets were pretty empty and shops were closed for maybe a month here in Germany. Now (almost) everything is open again, the streets are full. Unemploymen

pipenv felt like it took forever to complete simple tasks. I briefly used it for a small project and quickly realized that it was a mistake. I now just use conda environment.yml and a requirements.txt, those two cover most bases I feel like
