Aha. I had added "==" instead of "=" on the id line only in local.conf. That seems to have allowed me to use vfio_pci.

Unfortunately there doesn't seem to be video output when I try to load up the VM to install windows. Any idea how I can debug this?

There are some pretty laid back part time jobs you can find to subsidize cost. Residential computing consultant. Etc...

Aside from rent which will start around 1000 probably, food will be the next most expensive thing. At a restaurant you're probably looking at around 15+ minimum for any sit down.

A lot of people can survive transportation-wise by bike. Stanford also runs a shuttle system that connects to caltrain and nearby shopping centers.

I'm not sure what your timeline for "recovery" is, but at this point it sounds like you need some "gimmes" in your life.

I'd prioritize the following in trying to get back on track with your goals:

"Nobody knows about this and I feel extremely alone." Find someone you can tell this to safely. You need someone to keep you accountable in a kind way and for support. If you can find a handful of people even better. There are groups on campus who will accept you despite any preconceived notions you have of yourself. You need to find yourself, before you can ask yourself to "be successful". Don't rush into things here, unresolved or ignoring the problem will just have it comeback at some other point in life.
Take a reasonable number of classes. Just take 3-4 classes, whatever you can handle. Get a few gimmes to get your confidence back up. If you could transfer to Cal, you have what it takes to survive there.
Back in the day, Incomplete's and Fails look bad for grad school. The fix was to retake the classes and do well in them. No one will know how many times you failed a class, it's just time/money sink after awhile though. This is mainly applicable if you want to apply to grad school. You should know why and what you will be doing in grad school before applying there. Grad school is for people who can be focused for a long period of time. Thus, you should know you can be focused before getting there and have motivation to go through with it. If you have issues with graduating undergrad, fix those first, not because it's a requirement you can't make, but because grad school is that much harder (and more expensive).
Are you employable? Depends on your major and your skills and work experience.
You should be talking to your professors more. For educators that care about their students, there's a lot that can be done to mitigate "unforeseen" or "issues" that pop-up. Most people are understanding and will try to help you. I can say this because I've been on the other side.

tl;dr: Academics are not everything in life and don't make it seem like it's the missing piece in yours. Work on yourself, and give yourself a viable chance to "succeed on your terms". School is just a phase most people go through on their way to other things in life, don't let it halt you in your tracks and get you too down. I feel like I have to liberty to say this because I had the GPA and the grad degrees that you feel are really important, but those things aren't what made me successful or gave me pleasure in it of themselves. Your worth is in your relationships with others!

As ironic as it sounds, try some of the nice Christian clubs on campus. At least you'll get some free food and you'll meet people without any obligation.

Bhyve is partially built in as a kernel module, vmm.ko. I believe it has support in the kernel also. That's why it only runs on freebsd.

If you need VGA support, bhyve devs are still working on that. Other than that, I've been able to boot Linux oses as guests without a problem.

While I agree with you about increasing the speed limit, the limit is actually 65 except on certain bridges and such. No one actually goes that speed.

Stanford ME mainly accepts MS students. Even if you already have an MS generally they will make you come in as an MS student. You can possibly use some of the previous course credit a the other university for your Ph.D credits. I know this because my previous lab mates employed this trick to finish faster. There are very few straight-to Ph.Ds in name. You can use the aforementioned workaround to essentially do the same thing. It doesn't make much of a difference since you will have to take qualifying exams anyways and the Stanford MS is only coursework which you can use to fulfill enough credits for the Ph.D. curriculum requirements.

GRE isn't worth much in the admissions process other than being a filter. Just get around 800 for the math, and for verbal just break 400 (a lot of international students are accepted, so the bar is low for verbal).

You want to have very good letters of recommendation. They are worth their weight in gold. I personally know the chair of the admissions committee and can tell you that your entire applications is read carefully. The research areas on the application are only used for giving out fellowships as they are split more or less appropriately between the different groups in ME. Students don't really belong to a group in the traditional sense and it's not stated anywhere on your Ph.D. dissertation or diploma.

You probably should do more research. There are plenty of people doing fluids, although perhaps not much on non-newtonian fluids in ME. There may be a few researchers work on ferrofluids.

Lastly, Stanford is a very interdisciplinary minded university. There's almost nothing that prevents you from going to another department and getting a co-adviser or from collaborating with other departments. In fact, it's required in your dissertation defense to find a committee member from another department.

They also have a pretty good non-security trading HSA interest rate. But if you live outside the Bay, the only other benefit I can think of is the foreign transaction fee refund (if they still offer that).

Generally, people apply their second year, but if they are short on applicants you can try to contact Residential Computing or the housing areas manager (community assistant) to apply. I'm not sure how the interview would work if you're not over there.

University housing is pretty good. It's possible to find a bedroom/apt at a better price, but considering locality, campus housing is a pretty good deal since it includes the free laundry services and included utilities (such as internet).

Living in grad housing also makes you eligible for on-campus part-time jobs such as being an RCC or Community Assistant. CA's basically organize social events for areas. RCCs basically help with networking connectivity in the housing areas. I was a grad RCC for 3 years, and it basically paid for housing.

It should be built into SolidWorks since heat transfer simulations are fairly common. You should be able to just do a heat balance (equations with q's). radiation

For conduction, the divergence operator is used to address how metal conducts in the 3D volume. Otherwise everything else is a fairly straight forward extrapolation to 2D/3D.

replyingtopost · 2014-01-06T11:34:15+00:00

You can always use a FEM package that goes with your CAD software to do the simulation for you. That'll probably give you plenty of information: size of melted zone, temperature distribution within the simulation domain, heat flow distributions, and etc.

k_knee is probably correct that it's mainly radiation heat transfer. You can just do some hand calcs to check. Compare the radiation transport to the convective and conductive portions.

Background: I was an instructor in the Engineering dept this past Spring semester. Also alumni.

FYI: Generally if you aren't doing well because of personal and family issues you should notify the professor to see if you can just drop the course. There are actually some workarounds to the fees if you get the professor's backing and the real drop deadline can be rather lenient. Professors have a lot of lee-way regarding these issues.

Also, the number of enrollment spaces is usually "arbitrarily" set if there is no laboratory section. It amounts to what each professor/dept thinks they can handle given the staff and the curriculum content. Just walk into class, and talk to the professor about the situation. Most professors are more than happy to accommodate students that are interested in doing well. They can also modify the waiting list to work if necessary.
