No worries.

Our green list roles are a bit limited honestly, my partner does data engineering which isn't covered in the list. She ended up studying and applying for a Post Study Work Visa. It requires you to complete a degree in NZ and then you can have up to three years to work and aim for residency. We have one year master degrees, this is what my partner has done. Perhaps you could even complete your PhD here, I don't know what that process would look like though.

But.. our international student fees are expensive.

Hey there, a lot of our research institues are under budget cuts and some are being disbanded (callaghan innovation). I would suggest you contact universities and see if they are interested in any aspiring research fellows. I am a master's student at Victoria University. My supervisor is currently in the works to help a professor (I think from MIT) come and work here. So even though my university is also under fire, I see a future where the immigration will actually produce a good environment for teaching and research here.

A big note is that we do have a right wing government at the moment, the most right wing it has been for sometime. Read on te tiriti and the hikoi against the treaty principles bill. We will have our next election in just over a years time, the last three polls show a preference for a left wing government.

Living costs are expensive. you will be spending a lot of money on rent (especially in Wellington) food and utilities. We have very poor public transport in the country, I hesitantly say our buses are okay but our trains are completely unreliable. A lot of our train routes end up getting replaced by buses because the trains are in such poor condition.

I have a couple friends from the US in Wellington, the main cultural integration I've heard them struggle with is the work culture. For the most part, work life balance is valued here, don't stay at work after hours you will be repremanded.

Hopefully this is helpful :)

Is there a name for this stance on existence and incomprehensibility? (lemmy.world)
 

Not sure how to ask this properly, so I’ll just put it plainly.

I (the subjective self) may or may not exist

That doesn’t mean anything, it just is

We can’t really comprehend this, not because we’re missing something

But because the self can’t get outside itself to understand what’s beyond it

Any attempt to do so is already shaped by being a self

I’m not saying this is profound, or depressing, or enlightening

I’m not looking for meaning in it

I just want to know if there’s a name for seeing things this way?

If this kind of stance has ever been named or written about, I’d love to know. The closest Ive found is things like quietism or madhyamaka Buddhism, yet these are very intertwined with belief and meaning.

Does the "Shlilat Ha‑Galut/Old Jew & New Jew" poster(s) exist? (lemmy.world)
 

I've seen an old Zionist propoganda poster depicting a "Old Jew" and the "strong" nationalist "New Jew". Pushing the ideas of muscular judaism and the negation of the diaspora, which I thought I was acquainted with until trying to find this poster! I've searched and asked llms which believe this poster exists but cannot dig it up and sends me a bunch of dead or adjacent links.

So my question is: did this poster exist? And if so can it be sourced?

Open Standard Display Interfaces (lemmy.world)

Hi there!

I'm having a look into creating a FPGA system with purely open standard and open source IPs (as well as open source code on my part). So far I have landed on a really good journal article looking into different open source IPs for the RISC-V open standard here: https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/8760205.

But now I have realized that I need some sort of display interface and can't find anything! I have read that DisplayPort is open-source, but I am pretty sure this only relates to the interface protocols and not the actual hardware itself. I may be wrong on this but I haven't been able to easily find anything on their standard licensing rules, other than a licence for their logo and brand name which doesn't seem very compatible with the ethos of the project.

Perhaps USB-C is the best solution.

Is anyone aware of any display interfaces that I could implement? I do not have a lot experience in video interfaces so would like some suggestions from people who likely know a lot more than I do :)
