Grading on a curve was meant to hide the fact that some teachers couldn't teach, some could, some wouldn't, and others would. It protected the professor at the expense of the students' education.

And it ruins grades as a marker of achievement or ability. From a student's perspective, if I pay for a course, the result should be that my grade reflects the degree to which I've mastered the material, not the variations between the quality of the students and the quality of the instruction. Grading on a curve allows a deadbeat professor and a deadbeat class to essentially turn the class into a credential mill without the necessity of education.

Students can safely assume that courses graded on a curve are staffed by incompetent or lazy professors, taken by lazy or incompetent students, or quite possibly both. When I was in university, this type of grading was used most often in the general education electives, where the professors didn't really care about the students, and the students didn't care about the subject. To adopt the same approach for mainline courses is to transform the entire university from a place of learning into a credentials broker or diploma mill.

Comment Re: Well "just" vibe code you a new API, then eh? (Score 3, Informative) 46

The biggest problem with replicating CUDA is not the technical aspects, but finding VC with enough brains to know whom to hire. Most CS grads have the knowledge, but not the drive. Most liberal arts grads have the drive, the creativity, but not the knowledge. You need to find one with both, because creating the next Nvidia killer will require someone who is boring enough to reinvent the wheel, but has enough creativity to find novel solutions to performance problems.

The computer science and hardware engineering behind the hardware and software (Nvidia/CUDA) have been known for decades. The Nvidia hardware could be replicated with FPGAs - notwithstanding any patents Nvidia might have. The software API could be replicated rather easily; parallelism has been known and studied in computer engineering (again) for decades now. What Nvidia did was political - they provided both the hardware and the API to easily use it in one package which could be understood by the C-Suite class. The challenge was never technical, but marketing.

More specifically, you'd need to understand how compilers work, and how to use YACC or bison, or something similar to generate the compiler code for you. You'd have to understand digital logic and how to create logic functions with NAND gates. If you see an FPGA development kit, know what it is, and think to yourself, "What I could do with that..." you're probably a good fit for the job. And you'd need someone willing to bankroll your project until you could demonstrate that you beat Nvidia on something marketable - like floating point performance. Or power consumption.

From an engineering standpoint, what Nvidia has done is trivial - because the solution could be reproduced by an engineer using already known techniques. But what Nvidia did was to combine technical knowledge with an understanding of their market to produce the dominant position they have today. Any computer engineer worth his diploma could produce a design with FPGAs that would beat Nvidia GPUs, but Nvidia did it first.

Comment It's simpler than that. (Score 1) 114

In the military, the mission - and only the mission - matters.

Most of the officers in the position to observe a UFO are not in the position to order an investigation. Even if they were, they'd have to justify the use of taxpayer dollars to support what could easily be characterized as a "curiosity" rather than the fundamental mission of air power. The best most of them can do is record their experience in the debrief, and rely on civilian scientists to investigate it further.

Can we stop pretending that America is still stuck in the 1960's? The overwhelming majority of Americans no longer have a Jim Crow mindset, and no longer regard as remarkable when a woman or "person of color" (i.e., an ordinary person) does something that white people have been doing for years. Diversity is ordinary now, and has been for the past few decades.

Diversity is like a religion with some people - no matter how much you (Americans) repent, you are still a sinner and in need of grace and forgiveness from TPB.

Hello,
Steve Jobs didn't invent the Smart Phone, I did in 2000, signed by Carnegie Mellon
If I wanted money, I would have sued em 20 years ago.
I'm already succeeding in what I wanted to achieve because revealing these designs to Warren Buffet's lawyers
resulted in Warren Buffet selling $133 billion in Apple stock.
I didn't want money. I designed this to fight surveillance state.
Yes, I chose to not take big money when I was young so I could help the world when I was older. Not many are like me.
I saw the phone would have GPS and everyone would use it (ubiquitousness).
As a punk, but not yet a Christian, I stood vs corporations and control at age 23. I saw it coming.
I had a choice: Don't invent the Smart Phone, or...
...invent it so well that I'd have a hand in the game down the road. So I chose to bridge over the River Kwaii it.
In addition to forcing Warren Buffet's hand to sell his stock:
I interfered with the Sam Altman openAI deal by explaining Apple has forward and back liability of 8% to me.
I contacted Europe to fine/regulate Apple/Google and two weeks later they did start regulating.
I likely induced the stock panic in March 5, 2025 (https://facebook.com/groups/visionprocommunity/posts/3959488814298117/).
That's a total of $640 billion Tim Crook already cost his company. Solid damage for just one man:
The fun part is, Apple and Google are playing the game wrong because they think, like yourself, that I want money.
Nope, I want to burn the surveillance state... Seeing as Tim Crook is such a bad CEO that he chose to push agendas,
he cost his company $640 billion instead of just paying me a small $5 million and allow me to help Apple to another
design revolution as happened in 2007 using my designs. I have screenless cell phone designs, house automation, etc...
Likely over 100,000 people know of me today as the Father of the Smart Phone
Many see me as a champion for freedom world wide who'd rather live in poverty willingly than give in to the surveillance state.

AI is stating the case is between $500 billion to $1 trillion
My estimates using the $1.05 billion won by Apple from Samsung from "rounded corners" is around $240 billion to $480 billion.
Google would be about 70% of Apple's take so $350 to 700 billion using AI models or $170 billion to $340 billion using my models.
So total case value: $850 billion to $1.7 trillion or $410 billion to $820 billion.
