前些日子和版大聊天,他让我写点关于mit的情况.　趁着寒假的尾巴,随便介绍点.
mit的建筑系分为marchI　marchII　和Smarch,　分别是三年半,两年半和两年.
前两这都是naab认证的,也就是说毕业以后可以考注册建筑师.　smarch比较特殊,分为五个方向,你必须选择一个,分别是　urbanism,　computation,　theory&history,　building　technology, visual arts.

规模比哈佛,耶鲁都要小很多,一个年纪一般25个人左右.　mit建筑系的华人极少极少.像marchI,　marchII几乎没有华人的,因为国人很少转专业申请,　smarch每年会有一个中国学生(当然我相信还是有些人拿到了offer选择了其他学校).
总体来说,smarch很自由,随便怎么选课,March　I　和March　II　就很惨了.　我在的是marchI,(我没有建筑背景)一天平均大概就是睡眠3-4个小时,这个平均时间是因为有了周末每天可以睡五到六个小时拉上来的.其实平时睡的更少,不睡就不说了,睡的话经常是凌晨五点或者六点回去,随后还要赶回来上九点的课.
很疯狂.已经有一个同学退学了.　老师很负责,　每周花在你的身上的时间非常非常非常多.　这点很好.

我和smarch的同学交流下来,还是觉得如果可以选择的话,还是选择marchI　或者marchII比较好.　因为smarch其实被没有进入一个教学计划中去,虽然说是自由了,但某种程度上说也是被忽视了.当然,看你看重的是什么,比如你是smarch的也有更多的机会去选media　lab的课----因为相对而言空很多咯.　
张永和现在的改革已经受到了系里的广泛好评,改革我这年是第二年.班里会有一半以上的同学都是在gsd和mit之间选择来的这里.(不过当时gsd没有给我这个选择的权利),这点可以看出,mit和gsd在价值观上应该还是存在不小的差别导致了这样的选择,或许奖学金也是一个重要原因.　张觉得美国的整体教育严重脱离了现实,所以他的教学方针会更务实,更脚踏实地些.　他大批的挖墙角(对不起了,其他兄弟学校),招纳中青年有丰富实践经验的优秀设计师.　不过,当然,因为到后面有很多studio可以选,你想走非线性,狂野路线也当然是ok的.　我只是说,在这点上,mit和现在美国的主流建筑系还是蛮不同的.　

教学上,所有的课都是以studio为中心,因为班级小,所以不同的课程的老师之间开始建立了一个紧密的联系.　比如理论课,会牵涉到现在studio的project的东西,design　skills也会做关于studio的东西,甚至包括drawing的课.　随后评图的时候也会请到其他课的老师一起来拼图,当然也包括building　tech的老师.　

换句话说,每门课不再是孤立的了,而是整合在一起了.
其次,我想说的是氛围,我觉得这应该是mit学生最值得自豪的事情.　互相帮助的气氛很好.　比如在deadline之前,大家已经通宵了一两天了,在最后一个晚上,我还有很多东西没完成,一个美国同学完成自己的东西后会再熬一个通宵来帮我做模型.　比如,老师在评我图的时候,会给出很多意见,我英语差,每次,同学都会帮我做笔记怕我听不懂.　这样类似的事情太多了,到期末复习的时候,理论课由于英语的关系,对我还是比较头疼,他们复习的时候就会叫上我,这样可以带一带.　不多举了.　

另外关于钱的事情,据我所知,来的所有人除了有一个以外,都是拿到免学费一半以上的,并且没拿到的人第二年也有很大机会拿到.　随后学校的奖学金是保证整个学习时间的,而不是单单第一年.　海外的studio当然也很多,假期也都有很多海外workshop,费用都是包来回机票和住宿.

不过,有点很重要,这里真的很变态,学习.来的话想清楚,个人生活肯定是没有的.　我们反正也有两个同学想转学了.　不过听说第二年睡眠时间可以上升到平均五到六个小时.

Apple's One-Dollar-a-Year Man, By Steve Jobs, 2000

(FORTUNE Magazine) – Now that Steve Jobs has showed his hand on Apple's Internet and system software strategies and dropped the "interim" from his title, other questions loom. He's always denied it, but isn't it true that his old company, Next, did wind up taking over Apple? Will there ever be an encore to the 15-year-old Macintosh? Short of that, does Apple have any plans to jump into the "Internet appliance" fray? Will Apple ever build computers for business people again? And what, pray tell, does Steve think of all these young Internet zillionaires? Let's ask. Practically every technology that your old company, Next, possessed when Apple acquired it in 1997 is now being used by Apple in some strategic way. This must seem like sweet vindication. The thing about Next was that we produced something that was truly brilliant for an audience that our heart really wasn't into selling to--namely, the enterprise. I suppose if you were wr...

《Becoming Steve Jobs》Chapter 16 Blind Spots, Grudges, and Sharp Elbows

Steve could be pretty thin-skinned when someone prominent criticized the aesthetics of his products. He took great umbrage that Neil would, as Steve put it, “pop off in public like that without coming to talk to us about his technical concerns first.” From that point on he had rebuffed all of Neil’s attempts to smoke the peace pipe. 有趣 He had blind spots, grating behavioral habits, and a tendency to give in to emotional impulse that persisted his entire life. These characteristics are often used to make the case that Steve was an “asshole” or a “jerk,” or perhaps simply “binary”—that odd adjective often used to convey the sense that he was half asshole/half genius from birth to death. These aren’t useful, interesting, or enlightening descriptions. What’s more illuminating is to take a look at the specific ways in which Steve failed to do an effective job of tempering some of his weaknesses and antisocial traits, and to consider how, when, and why some of them continued to flare up even...

A Sister’s Eulogy for Steve Jobs

I grew up as an only child, with a single mother. Because we were poor and because I knew my father had emigrated from Syria, I imagined he looked like Omar Sharif. I hoped he would be rich and kind and would come into our lives (and our not yet furnished apartment) and help us. Later, after I’d met my father, I tried to believe he’d changed his number and left no forwarding address because he was an idealistic revolutionary, plotting a new world for the Arab people. Even as a feminist, my whole life I’d been waiting for a man to love, who could love me. For decades, I’d thought that man would be my father. When I was 25, I met that man and he was my brother. By then, I lived in New York, where I was trying to write my first novel. I had a job at a small magazine in an office the size of a closet, with three other aspiring writers. When one day a lawyer called me — me, the middle-class girl from California who hassled the boss to buy us health insurance — and said his cl...

巴菲特致股东信-1980年

笔记：会计中对于下属股权公司的记账方式有3种：持股50%以上，全部并入持续20%--50%，则按持股比例并入持股20%以下，则以实际收到的利润返还，计入报表这种会计方式，会导致伯克希尔旗下，不少的企业，未能暴露实际的收益情况对伯克希尔而言，对盈余的认定并非取决于持股比例是100%，50%，20%，5%或是1%，盈余的真正价值在于其将来再投资所能产生的效益我们宁愿将所赚的盈余继续交由不受我们控制的人好好发挥，也不希望转由我们自己来浪费高通货膨胀等于是对投入的资本额外课了一次税翻译： https://xueqiu.com/6217262310/131837878 https://archive.ph/XMX5n 原文： Buffett’s Letters To Berkshire Shareholders 1980 巴菲特致股东的信 1980 年 Operating earnings improved to $41.9 million in 1980 from $36.0 million in 1979, but return on beginning equity capital (with securities valued at cost) fell to 17.8% from 18.6%.

360T7 刷机步骤及固件

https://cmi.hanwckf.top/p/360t7-firmware/ 360T7的固件支持由immortalwrt-mt798x项目提供支持，请参考： https://cmi.hanwckf.top/p/immortalwrt-mt798x https://github.com/hanwckf/immortalwrt-mt798x 刷机步骤参考此处的办法开启原厂固件的UART和telnet功能在以下链接下载360T7测试固件（纯净版，无任何插件） https://wwd.lanzout.com/b0bt9idwd 密码:ezex （此固件已过时，请选择其它更新的固件）接下来将刷入修改版uboot。修改版uboot的优点有：固件分区可达108MB，原厂uboot只能使用36M 自带一个简单的webui恢复页面到以下仓库的Release页面下载uboot，目前暂时仅支持360T7，后续将支持更多mt798x路由器。推荐使用 mt7981_360t7-fip-fixed-parts.bin ， fixed-parts 代表uboot分区表在编译期间固定，不会随着uboot环境变量变化。 https://github.com/hanwckf/bl-mt798x/releases/latest 将 mt7981_360t7-fip-fixed-parts.bin 通过HFS等方式上传到路由器，使用以下命令刷入uboot mtd write mt7981_360t7-fip-fixed-parts.bin fip 确认刷入完毕后，拔掉路由器电源。然后将电脑的IP地址设置为固定的 192.168.1.2 ，接着按住路由器的RESET按钮后通电开机，等待8s后用浏览器进入 192.168.1.1 在uboot恢复页面选择要刷入的固件。immortalwrt-mt798x目前编译两个版本的360T7固件。建议修改版uboot直接使用 immortalwrt-mediatek-mt7981-mt7981-360-t7-108M-squashfs-factory.bin ，两种固件区别如下： mt7981-360-t7-108M 为108M固件分区，原厂uboot不可启动，需要修改版u...
