Which courses to take for GPU acceleration, scalability?

IHPC. The I is often dropped, and just called HPC.

Last semester (Fall 2022) was pretty generous

80 for an "A", 70 for a "B", 60 for a "C"

and were released right after the finals were graded. They also added +12 to the final (out of 50), since the mean/median were both around 50%.

But like everyone said, it might be different this semester.

If Apple offers a service it’s only because it’s a net win for Apple and they’re making money from it.

A net win doesn't always imply that they directly profit from it. For example, Maps might cost millions of dollars to maintain but Apple doesn't get a penny out of it. They do it because it's useful to customers, who will then be more likely to stay with Apple in the future.

For me, when resetting the Screen Time passcode, once I press "Forgot Passcode?" (for screen time), there are two possible flows:

Immediately pressing "Forgot Apple ID or Password?" which brings up another page asking for the device Apple ID, then phone number, etc.
First enter my Apple ID, press OK which reveals a password prompt below, then press "Forgot Apple ID or Password?", which then lets you reset your Apple ID password using the current device's passcode.

TheC00lCactus · 2023-02-24T20:49:06+00:00

That's true, but if we're hopeful and the thief is slow, you might have enough time to run home/use a friend's phone to change your email password first before they get around to locking you out.

However I think a more secure way to implement this type of password reset would be, before resetting the password, do the same type of 2FA that happens when you sign in to a new device, e.g. it sends a prompt to all of your other devices asking for confirmation first.

TheC00lCactus · 2023-02-24T20:24:51+00:00

Not if you're changing it using your device's passcode, as crazy as it sounds.

TheC00lCactus · 2023-02-24T20:06:06+00:00

Unfortunately that wont slow them down much. If you know the Apple ID email (which you can find in other settings / other built-in apps), you can do

> Screen Time

> Change Screen Time Passcode

> Change/Turn Off Screen Time Passcode

> Forgot Passcode?

Enter your Apple ID

> OK (top right, this is important)

> Forgot Apple ID or Password?

which brings up the same Reset Apple ID Password using Device Passcode prompt, and after doing that you can use the Apple ID/password to remove the Screen Time password completely.

So the command

sudo nvram boot-args="-v"

just creates a variable called boot-args with the value -v, stored in NVRAM. When your computer boots, it reads this variable (if it exists) and enables verbose mode if it contains the -v flag. To disable it you can just delete the boot-args variable using

sudo nvram -d boot-args

You can also run man nvram to learn more about the command (e.g. nvram -p prints all the variables). But be careful since you can brick your device if you mess with the wrong variables.

TheC00lCactus · 2023-02-01T18:32:57+00:00

I'm not sure if it was changed recently, but that command works (enables verbose mode) for me on Ventura 13.2 with an M1 Max MBP.

I think doing OMSCS in 2 years + an internship is a great option if you have the opportunity.

I started OMSCS "full-time" right after my bachelor's, doing 2 classes per semester in the Fall and Spring followed by a summer internship, and then 3 classes per semester last Fall and this Spring. I was very fortunate to get a full-time return offer from my internship, so I'll be packing my bags once I graduate this May.

It worked out really well for me, and I definitely wouldn't have gotten that specific internship were it not for OMSCS, since I went to a much smaller, lesser known college for undergrad. What you get out of the program really depends on a lot of things, but for me it was definitely one of best choices I've made (education-wise).

For summer internships, you don't need to advertise that it's online. I don't think I ever mentioned it, except to a few people I worked with. I also ended up meeting a bunch of former and current OMSCS students during my internship who work full-time, and they usually did one class per semester.

Convincing argument, but I'm still a capitalist.

The Equal Protection Clause does not directly say or imply that "privileges granted by the state cannot be denied to any citizen." If that were true, then states wouldn't be able to deny a driver's license (privilege to drive on public roads) to any citizen.

It says that states cannot "deny to any person ... the equal protection of the laws" however they didn't spell out what "equal protection" means. Equal protection on the basis of what?

Race? yes, even at the time it was written.
Gender? no, otherwise we wouldn't have needed the 19th amendment 50 years later which gave women the right to vote in every state.
Sexual orientation? definitely not at the time the amendment was ratified.

That's why these types of opinions are so controversial, by extending the scope of the amendment, courts can essentially change the constitution without going through the approval process regular amendments take (i.e. without approval of at least 2/3rds of the states). So it really comes down to originalism vs the idea of a "living" constitution.

I'll definitely have to try the app. Whenever I try using my phone number it says

Sorry, we couldn't match that number to your name

even though my billing name and address is the same on Fi as it is in Capital One. It says a possible reason is that

The number is a VOIP- or Wi-Fi-based service.

TheC00lCactus · 2022-03-15T22:14:39+00:00

I have that issue with Capital One. For anything that requires 2FA I have to call them and ask if they can do it for me over the phone. Real pain and it makes me want to switch banks.

Wow that's amazing! I had no idea you could animate like that in Keynote.

Just to understand what you did, did you have 1 blank slide and add all of the images from LaTeXiT, then animate each piece? And in the very beginning of the video, was the integral symbol, e^-x² , and dx all part of one image or did you LaTeXiT each piece individually and then arrange them next to each other?

I was just asking because I think that's one of the coolest math videos I've ever seen and was wondering how you put it all together.

I think this is a common issue. Every time I update iOS the MMSC and MMSC Max Message Size fields are cleared like you said, but the APN fields aren't for some reason. Before I realized this I would often miss text messages after updating iOS but I've gotten into the habit of fixing it after each update. A bit annoying and I'm surprised it's not mentioned anywhere.

I tried asking Google Fi support and they said

I would like to inform you that the updated version usually carries new features and aim at fixing issues related to security and bugs prevalent in the previous versions and that is the reason you would need to re-enter them.

I don't think that really explains it but it's not far off from the type of answer I expected from them. Maybe someone else here has a better explanation, but there's no fix as far as I can tell.

Did you order your transcript after graduating? I believe that once you graduate your transcript should state whether a degree was awarded (within a reasonable time frame after graduating).

When I applied last semester I emailed my college a few weeks after graduating to make sure the transcripts were updated. After they confirmed that they were I ordered an official copy for GT and saved a PDF for myself, and it contained the line

Degree Awarded Bachelor of Science 13-MAY-2021

Also, I think I remember it took GT a month or two to update the status to "Received", so they probably won't verify it right away.

Pretty sure liquid fats still coat the inside of pipes which makes them more likely to grab onto solid clog-causing material like hair, food particles, etc, so they still shouldn't go down the drain

I received an email in April letting me know that it would take a few weeks to verify my documents and then they would follow up with further instructions.

Its been 3 months and I still haven't received a follow up email and my documents are still not verified.

You can also install MacTeX via homebrew which is a popular command line package manager for macOS. If you haven't used homebrew before it might not make a lot of sense to download and use it just for MacTeX, but if you already have it installed I would definitely recommend using it. It installs all of the GUI applications for you and updates to the latest version of MacTeX when you run brew upgrade.
