venting

[cobalt grotto]

we never did that

😭

[solemn abyss]

This had other implications

[cobalt grotto]

rightt

[solemn abyss]

That are being investigated

[cobalt grotto]

ok

[solemn abyss]

Time to vent

This laptop is stupid

I keep getting issues

WiFi, battery, hardware, software, keyboard

[cobalt grotto]

get a new one

[maiden siren]

Dats tough gng

[solemn abyss]

I can't get a new one because my parents won't let me and I don't have money

[solemn abyss]

I can't do work on it or finish my assignments

[maiden siren]

Thats

Real rough

#keepurheadup

[cobalt grotto]

wait till bday money or eidi/savings/get a job + buy second hand

[solemn abyss]

Yeah.. but I'll need a laptop before I graduate

[cobalt grotto]

first world problem

j get it reparied

then

even tho thats gonna be expensive asw

[solemn abyss]

Not sure if people can repair this

[glossy ferry]

I tried
Even after so many years, im still not good at what i like to do

Years and i still suck at drawing
my writing has gotten worse over time despite practicing so much
My stamina is shit, i cant do sports
Can barely even talk to people
I even suck at video games lol
And i cant cook

I hope that one day, i can be good at something i can be proud of

But as for now... 😭

(And i still have to cope with the fact that the getting good grades isnt as impressive anymore. 🫠 )
The one thing that gave me self-worth and made me feel useful, is now obsolete and redundant

[unreal helm]

yeah but most of these skills are developed w passion

if you're developing art or writing without the passion to create or the genuine motivation you're not gonna get far

what takes you far in these skills is when you're passionate about the things you're creating instead of worrying about how good it is

you write something and if you write it yourself and you wrote what you want to wrote, who cares if its not the most insane piece of literature? you wrote what YOU wanted to and thats whats important

if u prioritize having fun in these activites first only then you will be able to progress in them

its not js ab the skill its also ab enjoying the process but like genuienally

even cooking

i SUCK cheeks at cooking and idt ill ever learn bcs i personally js am not interested in learning it

my friend really wanted me to learn it and forced me to and i gen got NO where with it 😭

not surprised i didn't get far, why would I get good at something I'm forcing myself to do?

[glossy ferry]

You got a good point

I am passionate in art and writing... though i am still shit at it
But I'll keep trying :')

[solemn abyss]

You can do this!!

[unreal helm]

hell naw don't talk ab urself like that

show off ur work sometimes!! im sure we'd love to see :)

and if u ever need constructive critcism then im avaliable or if u js wanna share smth

ping me if you'd like idm

i have a few friends who r skilled in writing (cough cough imaan) so if u ever need 2nd advice from someone whos p well versed in writing then we're here :))

[glossy ferry]

Tyyyy :D

[glossy ferry]

Okay
I will one day (｡˙ヮ˙)

Thx :>

[bronze yacht]

Dw itll be good, my pencile cries graphite when I try to draw with it and I scar te paper with my Neil Armstrong drawing skills but what matters is that U and I try 😫🛂🛃☢️☣️

[quasi needle]

😭

I can barely draw biology diagrams that's it

[dusk dust]

For real thats true if im not passionate about some work no matter how muh important it is i wont do it.

[dusk dust]

i used to like problem solving and thats why I chose CS.

[unreal helm]

thats nice for u :)) !!

[glossy ferry]

Istg my ocd be like

comically large tsunami coming to destroy my house because i pressed the elevator button 3 times and not 4 times

It's so stupidly funny sometimes

[low vapor]

its not

lock in

no one cares

[glossy ferry]

It's okay nobody really needs to care ww
Sometimes i use humor to cope with how ridiculous my brain can be

Cuz after struggling with (diagnosed) ocd for 6 years... you kinda just get used to it and even start finding it stupid 😭

(Though the panic attacks still exist)

[unreal helm]

ik everyone has diff coping mechanisms but js be careful if ur coping mechanism is humor cause it can still be an unhealthy coping mechanism

[low vapor]

lwk i thought this was cl mb gang

sorry

🥀

[warm oxide]

You saying sorry is a once in a blue moon event

[low vapor]

🤓

[warm oxide]

Keep it up

[glossy ferry]

A lot of people with ocd tend to use humor as a coping mechanism
Its actually pretty healthy in this case cuz youre not letting the obessessions take over you negatively

(Cant apply for every disorder and people without ocd, though)

[glossy ferry]

Oh no worries ww

[unreal helm]

as long as if you're not normalizing any harmful behaviour and turning it into a joke/affecting others or yourself negatively its all good

AHHH FR

[obtuse vector]

get out while u can buddy

[dusk dust]

yea it will be hard in A levels....but it opens gateway to a lot of opportunities after words

[obtuse vector]

buddy im talking about the real world

do you know how many FAANG employees youll be competing against when u get out of uni?

it depends what you do tbh

networks or electronics i think is good, you wont be rich but youll have something

when the powerlines go out they wont be able to rely on AI

they call u

[low vapor]

after what words

[plain maple]

Afterwards*

[low vapor]

who even bro 😭

[plain maple]

As in who am i?

[dusk dust]

thats true

[dusk dust]

yes 100% right

[dusk dust]

bro when i come out of uni.

I'll try to do freelancing then go to my cousin to learn how to do business after that ill try to make my own company inshallah.

its all about how much efforts you put.

[dusk dust]

thanks himalayan cat

[low vapor]

already employed btw git gud

[obtuse vector]

Lol

I commend ur optimism

[glossy ferry]

I have this important project to do
It's something im really passionate about
I must keep working non stop for days until i finally finish the project
But the deadline is almost here
For some reason, i can't move my hands
It's like a huge weight stopping me from going
My body doesnt have the motivation to work
I keeo telling myself to keep going
But it feels as if my body just crashed and now i cant do anything
I just feel like playing and sleeping all day
I feel so tired
Even doing a small easy part of the project takes HOURS
But i have to keep pushing myself or else i cant finish it on time
I know i cant afford to rest
My body still can't move and i am still super slow, but i know i have to continueeee
TO ADD FUEL TO THE FIRE
IM ON A CHRISTMAS HOLIDAY TRIP CUZ OF MY PARENTS
I CANT DO SHIT THERE 😭

The teacher gave me a long deadline yet i am struggling to meet it
I feel like a failure ww

I need more panadol 🔥
Gonna keep my 'work till i crash' grind
Even though i know i wont actually do shit and i will procastinate and stare at the screen mindlessly again

[unreal helm]

dont take panadol first of all

second

[unreal helm]

i get this REALLY hard it happens
esp when that deadline is the next day and like its smth im SO SO passionate ab i can never get why i didnt js use my time to finish it even though I had everything ready for it

To get around it I usually try to talk to a friend who'll get me to just get on w it. I've had this happenign to me for a project that I was sp sto finish like the start of this month but im going to be finishing by the end of this year now and if u have time then seriously take it easy. Take it EASY cause it helps imo. Try talking to a friend who'll get u onto working on the project right NOW no distractions involved. if you're tired just rest up seriously. If you let the weight of the project lay on u while ur trying to rest u gen won't get to. Rest up but properlly, js let everyhting go for a day and rest up. Continue tmrw. but like GENUIENALLY continue, if you want I can dm u and get u on it. Push yourself to doing it but don't force urself to the point ur burning outself out. Yeah it takes time im sure but if ur not enjoying it ur never going to finish it im so srs rn

u can rest, you SHOULD rest. Once you do then u can do ur project ok?

[glossy ferry]

Tysm
Tbh i rested a lot but my body still cant do it lmao

[dusk dust]

Lose but like Max.
Stay hard even though I don't know you but i believe in you You can do it.

keep tryin

[glossy ferry]

Thanks
I'll try 😭

[slate sky]

Data centers got good employment opportunities for electrical engineers

Maybe mechanical aswell cause of cooling them

I would say software market is somehow doing alright rn 💀 💀 but it used to be very good beforehand

Atleast where I live

As of now, companies need ppl who can integrate AI into their tech stack and that’s more of a software engineering skill

[obtuse vector]

im most likely switching from CENG to EEE

[distant charm]

GUYS

I PROCRASTIANTE A LOT

is anyone of you facing the same problem?

wanna study together?

hmu

[unreal helm]

@serene lynx this is the venting channel please keep messages relevant to the channel

[tacit parcel]

Real

[marble atlas]

what do i do then i am not going to take cs as a major but then idk what to take

[marble atlas]

if anyone is doin software eng as their major after this ai update theyre js dumb

[obtuse vector]

go to chat-lounge

[obtuse vector]

take cs, then in uni choose sth else

[gloomy monolith]

Ok

[slate sky]

True lol but I reckon it still got a few jobs and still better than quite a few careers.

I don’t see the future of it growing, but if ur in the middle of it rn, eventually, u have the possibility of being fine (esp if u upskill into areas around agentic AI development or maybe machine learning if u gained a strong linear algebra foundation out of the math components of ur CS degree)

Last year, I felt Mechatronics is somewhat of a decent engineering specialisation and would do well in terms of jobs but they are struggling 💀

[hard ravine]

Is bro planning to meetup irl

[marble atlas]

thatts dumb tho, i mean choosing cs as a major is super competitive thesedays it js decreases my chances of getting into uni

[marble atlas]

i mean in that case, what major do i go for in undergrad i have to apply in a few months and i am still unsure about my major

[marble atlas]

ai and ml is cool tho true

web dev, game dev, ui ux all that is useless atp because its "basic stuff" now ai can do all that

[low vapor]

become a psych ward patient they feed u for free and allat

[slate sky]

Yep, that’s all gone but ai and ml will have the jobs until the AI bubble pops out 💀

[slate sky]

Do what u like tbh is my advice. Choosing based on the job market esp when ur about to start is not a good idea cause job market can easily change.

Pick something general I reckon and specialise in some specific aspect of the general thing

I am doing the same thing with my degree lol.

I am doing an engineering science degree rn but my degree is become more ai/ml/data science related as I specialise over the years

But then, I am in the middle of it rn and kinda have the option to still go into mechanical engineering type jobs

[sly rampart]

Much needed to be said, I agree w this

[obtuse vector]

what are you talking about

i meant study that course in ur a-levels and choose smth else in uni

as in u understood the exact opposite of what i meant

[obtuse vector]

its not a bubble, lol

i heard that same phrase like two hundred times

well, actually, in some way you can call it that, but we dont know for sure

[slate sky]

openAI is operating at a loss rn tho

[obtuse vector]

thats one company

and still doesnt imply anything about it being a bubble

[slate sky]

the bubble pops when like it goes into a massive loss and either has to increase the subscription costs massively to a point where only the rich ppl can afford it and so has less customers (and since everyone is too used to AI, no one has the skills anymore)

[slate sky]

I think thats about everyone 💀

[obtuse vector]

Xai, Gemini?

anthropic?

wdym thats about everyone

[slate sky]

I think any gpt subscription prob has a montly cost in high hundereds of dollars but charge like $20 monthly

[obtuse vector]

what makes you think this is not because ppl are switching over to other companies

there could be any of a number of factors

you just seem to be focusing your insights on one company

[slate sky]

I might have to look into other companies but pretty sure openAI is at a loss and pretty sure a similar-ish technology is used by others, so maybe others are not doing as well too

[obtuse vector]

pretty sure a similar-ish technology is used by others

yeah buddy you need to research into this first

this is not about what architecture they use or what "technology" they use, anyone could sell people the same product and be operating profitably. this has nothing to do with profitability

[slate sky]

I do think that given the electrical power required to train, store and run a LLM, the prices that they charge rn are too low 💀

[obtuse vector]

who

[slate sky]

all the big AI companies (Gemini, OpenAI etc.)

[obtuse vector]

nope

depends on the architecture

deepseek models are cheap asf

[slate sky]

damn, maybe china will rise again

or get rich lol cuz no one would openAI/gemini if deepseek is cheaper

[obtuse vector]

no, they would

there are differences in usecases, privacy concerns, and more

[slate sky]

true that

anyways, this is interesting tho

[restive bridge]

the concept of AI isn't a bubble

the bubble is what's happening with investors right now

we see it all the time here in the bay - people are treating the so-called "AI revolution" as a sort of technological gold rush; an opportunity to get rich quick by integrating pre-built AI-based tools into their products and selling these ideas to investors that are also buying into this narrative

and just like the gold rush, the people getting rich will always be the people selling the shovels, i.e., the companies actually developing the models that make up the underlying bases for a majority of these products

so I agree with the idea that it's not entirely cooked

[slim lake]

i may not be cs smart but i dont think this is venting tho..

[marble atlas]

yeah but we cant just choose something blindly, i mean i like cs but its just scary to go in a field which is dying slowly

[marble atlas]

i see fair

[slate sky]

Umm, we are too off-topic already 💀 💀. Maybe this is venting about AI taking/not taking our j*bs 💀

[marble atlas]

ohh but like what

major

[marble atlas]

lmaoo i agree

[low vapor]

but hey atleast it isn’t freddy fazbear

[plain maple]

What

[low vapor]

well u see if freddy fazbear started taking our jobs then i’d be bad because the ghost possessing freddy is a 5yo therefore it’d be considered child labour and therefore child labour will be highly popular well because freddy fazbear so big corpos and etc can abuse and exploit young children

hence why freddy fazbear taking our jobs is bad

[plain maple]

[low vapor]

you should get hooked up on fnaf lore its peak

[plain maple]

I've watched some of the gameplays and the movies (don't shoot me)

It is pretty cool

[low vapor]

the lore is vast

you should invest

yeah the cia is gonna see this msg ur cooked buddy

[obsidian cobalt]

hi im the cia

[peak bronze]

can confirm I was the papa john's pizza

[lofty hinge]

My grandmother forgot who I am

Idk what to feel honestly

My dumbass asked her if she remembered me knowing damn well she has dementia

It made her really sad that she’s starting to forget the people closest to her

Now I’m scared to visit her again, I’m terrified of the feeling of seeing her not recognize me

Worst disease ever

[austere flare]

It is not wrong to feel this way. Fear visits all of us when love brings against loss. Do not let that fear rule you, Even if she cannot remember you, you will remember her and memory is a homeland no one can exile you from. What remains is not what fades from her mind, but what stays alive in yours. 🫂

[finite granite]

Hey, my grandma also have dementia, kind of the last stages of it, and its honestly terrible to feel forgotten. Visit her as much as you can, spend time with her, and be there for her. 🫂🤍 If it helps, although my grandma doesnt remember who i am, she unconsciously hold my hand whenever i visit her. I wish all the best for your grandma 🤍

[rugged sentinel]

My Grandfather got paralysis and he doesn't even remember me either

[bronze yacht]

all the old people in my house arent exactly the best neither have I known anyone who went through dementia, but it is quite indeed a very heartbreaking loss. all of these memories die with us, but those memories die before them (those who have dementia) - is sad to think about. its kinda like if you water a rose too little it will die, too much it will die only the perfect amount will keep it alive; till the water source is avalaible, once the source is gone, over watering it, not watering it or trying to save every single drop will seal its fate nonetheless. the good part was you being the one who fostered that rose - so keep steadfast in keeping them watered, and dont let your anger or sadness get past the watering can 🫶 much love for you all

[peak bronze]

I'm here if u need someone with a good memory

probably not for long tho

[mild compass]

Hello cia um i made mistake and uhh experimented on some rats and forgot close the cage wont get mad please??

and uhh it turned in a rat clicker so not my problem!

[glossy ferry]

I cancelled my counselling session with my therapist + my friend hangout so i could have a last minute study session with my group mates

Guess what? One of them didnt show up, and we spent 2 hours waiting and wasting time!

Even studying with my other friends would have bern more productive

2 hours went to waste

Ugh i could have gotten counselling, went to the mall and eat pizza, and even study on my own

But nOOO

We waited 2 hours for that person :/

[plain maple]

Damn 2 whole hours

Why didnt they just say they werent coming

Tht sucks

[glossy ferry]

They said they'd come
But they took way too long

We were like
Us: OI WHERE ARE YOU
That one groupmate: im still im the shower
Us: IT'S BEEN AN HOUR
That one groupmate: im cominggg

[plain maple]

Long ahh shower 😭

Couldve solved a paper or two in the time they took to shower

[glossy ferry]

Ikr

[unreal helm]

SHOWER IS CRAZY BRO

ok not bcs its a shower but bcs they dipped on yall w that of all things

then he got silent and got depression bruhhhh

[unreal helm]

why r u drawing human anatomy for ig bio

[mild compass]

I dont know asked my school they told this syllabus and we had anatomy test of tissues like our shoulders and chest plus legs

[mild compass]

i mean i was personally confused why anatomy

[glossy ferry]

UPDATE/FULL STORY for what happened

I fucked up on my presentation
(It's a group project)
It's a long story but here's what happened

1. We were all busy, i had a giant project to do, i already burnt myself out so i had to work on it last minute
2. There were some issues that slowed us down but we finished the slides in time luckily
3. I made my script 1 day before the presentation at 2am
4. The rules said the presentation must be under 10 mins, which was pretty hard to do
5. I tried to cut out a lot of stuff so i could fit the time limit
6. I wanted to discuss my script and practice/rehearse with them together so we set a meetup time before the presentation
7. However, 1 person was 2 hours late to the meeting. They said they would come but they took very long.
8. I suggested we start rehearsing first, but my other group member wanted to wait for the late person
9. I thought 2 hours of waiting was already too long, so i just left and practiced by myself. I practiced so much my voice felt dry and i was so tired (i slept at 4-5am the previous night)
10. My other group members ended up discussing together without me
11. During the presentation, i realized the stuff i cut out (in no.5) was actually important to them.
12. So basically, i accidentally removed their parts and skipped their slides without permission because i didnt know
13. The keypoints and content for the presentation became so confusing and weird
14. As for the results, the teacher told us to redo it or else it's an immediate fail
15. Now all my groupmates hate me for cutting out their slides but i didnt know because we had different scripts

I dont want to blame them but i feel like if we had time to rehearse together, this wouldnt have happened

And also it was my fault too
I should have discussed with them earlier but i was so busy and worn out
I really did try my best
I practiced so hard (yes ik i only started practicing 1 day before the presentation but still)

During the presentation, i also interacted with the audience, raised my voice, tried to get attention, gave eye contact, memorized the whole script and did not read from the slides
But i think i overdid it? I was panting so much the teacher pointed out that i was anxious
And my methods of gaining audience attention was wrong ...
I just did whatever i knew and learned
But maybe i came off as too informal

Yeah it was my fault but i really tried my hardest
There is no worse feeling in school than having all your groupmates hate and blame you
My classmates probably think im stupid

I dont want to go to school tommorow
Can i just stay home :(
Everyone thinks im dumb now

[plain maple]

whatt

[plain maple]

okay well first off, did your groupmates practice without you before you made your script?

[glossy ferry]

No
They practiced without me after i made my script
I made my script 1 night before the presentation
But they started practicing few hours before the presentation

I wasnt there to practice with them cuz they took 2 hours to arrive and i had other things to do

[plain maple]

Wow

If they had practiced without you before, i would say you were equally at fault but

Unless

Did they not practice cuz u didnt have ur script ready?

Either ways, aint no way they shohld be blaming u for ditching them

U had to wait not 30 mins

Or an hour

But 2 hours

Did tht groupmate have an emergency or what?

If a vm came here tht was my friedn pls ignore her 💀 🙏

She messed up on her presentation too

But life goes on

Go to school tmrw, and face the opps 🫡

[glossy ferry]

Idk if i can
I think theyre gossiping about me
They are pretty popular in class, and they are the type to gossip to each other

Everyone knows i fucked up :'P

[glossy ferry]

They mostly blamed me for cutting out their parts during the presentation (miscommunication)
Not cuz i ditched them

[plain maple]

But you couldnt have known unless they explicitly told you, or you asked them

Mann

[glossy ferry]

I hope i dont work with them again

Honestly this is so real tho

[peak bronze]

lol... right

[sand drum]

When are ur boards?

[peak bronze]

20 feb

don't really care tho main focus is neet

3 may

back to studying 💯

[sand drum]

twin u still need to get decent marks

[peak bronze]

i can do that easily

if i gave rn i would get decent marks

decent is subjective tho

[sand drum]

what is decent for u? 60?

[peak bronze]

60/70 yeah ig

bc practicals would give 30

so that's 90

[sand drum]

its fine then u will do great

[languid musk]

econ?

[sand drum]

yes 😔

[languid musk]

my condolences

[warm oxide]

ditch the textbook and use notes if they're good, make sure you can explain all graphs and if remembering is hard using spider diagrams is really helpful for reasons and consequences

inflation and AD is a very popular topic area for essays

[sand drum]

thankyou!! Will do:))

[weary basalt]

uh oh, i took econ and im in year 10 giving my ig exams rn

[languid musk]

ull get through igs

Yuh, diagrams are like your best buddy in 8-12 marker question in eco for a lvls

tbh im so so stressed for my AS exams in may/june

im currently failing and getting the lowest grades in my class

idk how to improve i feel like crying rn

i see my friends who were never as serious as me at igcse level doing so mych better than me- grasping content faster and studying on a daily basis

idk whats wrong with me that i cant js be able to dedicate myself

[plain maple]

Yeah i get tht

I think i burnt myself out and hit a slump during a levels

[plain maple]

You could try solving papers with your friends

At the same time

I used to do tht

Then discuss later

As for grasping content

Idk how to help with tht

I could only grasp the subject i actually liked

Also u dont have ur subject roles

[sacred kernel]

NOOO i did it rnnn i didnt know i had tooo haha

[sacred kernel]

genuinelyyu im thriving in biology but slumping in physics so badly

[sacred kernel]

i think i did this with IGs i ended up getting high grades and now i just can’t function like i have a mental block

[sacred kernel]

Hmmm thats a good one then we could help explain whatever we got correct

[plain maple]

Yesss

[plain maple]

I mean u dont HAVE to

But its defo helpful

Cuz theres seperate sub channels

Resources plus help

[plain maple]
