importing jax fails on mac with m1 chip

Thanks @jakevdp I looked at the issue you linked and found a workaround :

Thanks to Noah who mentioned in issue #5501 that you could just use a previous version of jax and jaxlib, for my purposes jaxlib==0.1.60 and jax==0.2.10 work just fine!

JAX does not yet provide pre-built jaxlib wheels that are compatible with M1 chips. The best source of information I know on building jaxlib on M1 is probably this github issue: https://github.com/google/jax/issues/5501, which also tracks improving this support.

Hopefully M1 support will be improved in the near future, but it's taking a while for the scientific computing infrastructure up and down the stack to catch up with the requirements of the new chips.
