Nvidia Hopper H100 die shot

China Tells Tech Giants to Halt Nvidia H20 Orders After U.S. Official’s ‘Addiction’ Remark — Chinese leaders call Lutnick’s comments ‘insulting’

Although China has been trying to move away from foreign chips for several years now, the Financial Times says that this effort has now intensified after being fueled by U.S. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick saying the aim was to make China “addicted” to US tech during an interview after Washington allowed Nvidia to resume the…

學歷通脹

現在碩士博士周街都是,尤其是我的工作環境,個個學歷差不多,而學歷跟品格、common sense、智慧不一定成正比,成反比的,亦多的是,所以甚麼學歷完全不在我考慮一個人質素如何之列。 現在尤甚,全球大學都開辦修課式碩士學位,大量收生等如大量增加收入,這個方向亦變成很多大學增加收入的辦法。有些大專院校,本來修課式碩士班收一百人,因為賺錢,翌年竟馬上大增名額到五百人。學生瞬間多五倍,但行政人手、恒常師資、校園硬件和軟件配套卻依舊,可想而知,課程質素會如何。 觀察到的現況是,全球高等教育正陷入一場「學歷通脹」危機,每年大量碩博士「出產」,而某些國家尤其嚴重——十年間,碩博士畢業生人數翻倍,在學博士總量飆升至六十萬人。當碩博士頭銜氾濫,光環就會急速褪色,取而代之的是就業市場的殘酷擠壓、教育資源的嚴重錯配,以及「高學歷低就業」的社會實況。 過剩的代價,最終由全社會埋單,將會有愈來愈多的「高學歷低能力」人士湧現職場或大學教職位。亦會有大量高學歷畢業者因高不成低不就,就業無門,被迫轉行或「躺平」,造成高端人力資源的嚴重浪費。當博士頭銜不再代表「頂尖人才」,而只是「延緩就業」的避風港,高等教育的意義何在? 碩博士學位原本是學術頂尖人才的象徵,現幾乎因學歷通脹而變成就業市場的「基本門檻」。碩博士氾濫,並非代表我們的社會「教育進步」了,而是資源錯配的警號。當社會不再需要那麼多碩博士,卻仍在瘋狂生產,最終只會暴露出高學歷銜頭之平庸,這只會釀成一場更大的就業與教育危機。 撰文 : 利嘉敏 欄名 : 攻關女子 Source link
