I honestly thought he was the goat bro

earnest rock
#

How does Purdue honor code work can you just deny forever until they drop the case

proud mauve
#

🥀

nimble oak
#

ive legit been paranoid about this happening to me 😭

proud mauve
#

I'm so disappointed he chose to do this

noble lion
earnest rock
#

Cuz like lowkey if ur not tarded you could get away with denying

noble lion
#

Idk how they even get to that point

nimble oak
#

lowkey this is why i no longer like coding-heavy classes

noble lion
#

Its just cause he's in his mid 40s and obsessed with squirrels for some reason

#

They think he's quirky

foggy fern
#

yo this dude is evil

#

wtf

proud mauve
noble lion
#

I forgot to mention that

foggy fern
#

why is he going after middle schoolers for a program he wrote 30 years ago

earnest rock
proud mauve
#

But this move by him is too insufferable

noble lion
#

The cs 240 professor

#

At Purdue

earnest rock
#

Like I’m not advocating for vibecoding copy paste slop but like there has to be a balance

proud mauve
#

I think he was an undergrad 💀

noble lion
noble lion
#

I thought he just got bitter over the years

proud mauve
#

He just hunted down some kid who plagirised his thing

foggy fern
#

this dudes a fucking loser bro holy

proud mauve
#

💀

#

He showed some early signs

noble lion
#

The only ppl he's ever nice to is undergrad TAs

nimble oak
#

this is insane bruh

#

this guy has issues fr

noble lion
#

Might be cause grad students have to TA cause they get tuition off or smthn? And students have to take his class

#

So he can abuse them without consequences

#

But he can't really treat UTAs like shit cause they'll just quit

proud mauve
#

I honestly don't know how he got so bad

#

Showing his true colors

noble lion
#

But apparently that's not uncommon

earnest rock
#

This guy should be nowhere near a lecture room

foggy fern
#

the signs were there

proud mauve
earnest rock
#

Life so shitty he bullies children in his pastime

#

Ong my big 10 school would never

foggy fern
#

ngl if his super soldier AI detector actually works

#

that shit is going everywhere

proud mauve
#

Like just show up to lectures and stuffs

foggy fern
#

worked here it seems

earnest rock
#

It’s not a real ai detector

nimble oak
noble lion
nimble oak
#

but generally not

proud mauve
earnest rock
#

We have the same thing for one of my classes all they can do is check how much code you’ve added within commits and if you copy pasted stuff

proud mauve
#

Cause it was too time consuming

nimble oak
#

like my understanding is most profs do use some kind of ai detector but for most of their suspicious cases they don't pursue it, they only go after the egregiously obvious ones

#

but this prof seems to be going after everyone he even mildly suspects

foggy fern
#

i mean would it surprise you if over 50% of people cheated on homeworks

undone mirage
#

what makes him evil

nimble oak
#

this is one reason why im also no longer a cs major

noble lion
#

It does build up base skills for freshmen tho

nimble oak
#

just doing math and ml classes now

noble lion
#

I liked the class just the person teaching it is a maniac

foggy fern
#

no it definetely is

#

this dudes just a loser whose ego tripping

#

he purposely made the hw harder because of AI and dont expect people to use ai

nimble oak
#

read this lol

noble lion
#

Yea it's essentially exam based, since they assume everyone gets a 100% on homeworks they have a policy that you need a 85+ average on exams to get an A

#

And exams have about a 70 average

#

So that was sufficient to weed out anyone who coasted by cheating

foggy fern
#

purdue gets worse by the day

peak cave
#

sounds like an extremely high cortisol class.

nimble oak
#

fr bruh he's legit jacking himself off about tracking down a high school kid and getting him punished 😭

scenic oyster
#

personally going for a middle schooler is diabolical

noble lion
peak cave
#

we also have a CS 240 -- it's much less cortisol than your cs 240

nimble oak
#

even worse

scenic oyster
#

bro what college mf has the time to track down a middle schooler and makes sure they get punished

#

how much time do u have gang

foggy fern
#

@noble lion on the reddit it seems that like most people that got the email did use AI

noble lion
foggy fern
#

so the other 40% just didnt get caught

noble lion
#

My year? Weekly homework took about 8 hours if locked in

#

This year, maybe 20+

earnest rock
#

Nah bruv wtf

noble lion
#

I TAd last semester and one homework had a function so tedious ppl had 600 lines and I couldn't help them

proud mauve
#

Thank you for helping me

foggy fern
#

why is intro to c even a prereq to sophomore classes

earnest rock
#

Literally as time consuming as the os class at my school

earnest rock
noble lion
noble lion
#

Soph year both sems you'll use C

proud mauve
earnest rock
#

Would prob be more useful if it was java or cpp

noble lion
#

You should learn C before going into other things

#

I don't disagree with the class itself just the prof being Satan incarnate

nimble oak
foggy fern
nimble oak
#

thats cooked

noble lion
foggy fern
#

oh yeah that makes sense

noble lion
#

And other classes you might want to take

foggy fern
#

most people just learn c on the fly for those classes though

noble lion
#

A lot of classes here use C

In terms of coding

proud mauve
# noble lion Rip

Like I'm ngl system takes more time than algo and cryptography combined

noble lion
#

There's no learning in that class

proud mauve
#

And it's not even close

noble lion
proud mauve
#

Ye

noble lion
#

Webserver was lowk more time consuming than I thought it'd be

#

I was expecting it to be chill after shell

proud mauve
#

💀

noble lion
#

We got like a month extension or smthn

#

Or maybe that was for malloc

#

Did no one ask

proud mauve
#

That's why I couldn't finish it in time lmao

noble lion
earnest rock
#

Most other schools I hear about the os class is bs

proud mauve
#

Prob cause he was assuming everyone is gpting

noble lion
proud mauve
#

💀

noble lion
#

Gus saying no to an extension request

nimble oak
noble lion
#

Genuinely unheard of till now

proud mauve
#

Wait I actually don't know if anyone asked

#

But someone prob did (?)

nimble oak
#

yep

foggy fern
#

ngl if i was the parent of the kid

nimble oak
#

ngl if i was the teacher i'd tell the guy to fuck off

foggy fern
#

just tell the dude to fuck off

#

cuz wtf bruh 😭

earnest rock
#

Worst part is this guy prob thinks he’s the shit for having this much spotlight on him

#

That’s how these people are

#

They don’t learn

dawn valve
#

Implementation quiz can’t be that hard tho

#

Js study the ai code and you’ll be ight no?

noble lion
#

A lot of them have disappeared lately

proud mauve
#

Lmao

noble lion
#

And he waited for 11 homeworks to tell ppl

proud mauve
dawn valve
#

💀

proud mauve
#

You were one of them bro

noble lion
noble lion
#

If the TAs rightfully condemned his behavior I wouldn't have a problem

#

But they're defending him

proud mauve
#

Call them in for some interviews

dawn valve
#

That’s so heinous

proud mauve
#

And maybe announce the class ppl are being caught using AI

earnest rock
unique robin
#

😭

proud mauve
#

So make sure to not use it

unique robin
#

is this purdue

#

why’s so much shit happening at purdue

#

the whole ai scandal

proud mauve
#

It would be a much better way to deal with this

unique robin
#

the ai scandal is so funny

dawn valve
#

I wish I could see what his lecture room gonna be like tmr

unique robin
#

are there any updates on that

dawn valve
#

Someone should livestream ts

earnest rock
#

The stream is gonna be on the subreddit

unique robin
#

when did he release the email

earnest rock
#

For sure

unique robin
#

was it on friday?

dawn valve
noble lion
#

I wonder why he didn't just wait another day

neat hemlock
unique robin
#

there’s gonna be some news article someday being like “95% of purdues cs class was caught using chatgpt”

proud mauve
#

They have to choose either to drop or not

#

To report in the form or not

foggy fern
unique robin
noble lion
proud mauve
unique robin
#

purdue professor tracked down a student for sharing software?

noble lion
#

Like imagine you actually want to come clean but you forgot to mark one of like 6 homeworks u cheated on

earnest rock
#

At least people can drop this late

unique robin
#

or stealing the website design

noble lion
#

You get an F and potentially expelled

dawn valve
mighty pike
noble lion
#

The expulsion thing is more like turkstra would email the department recommending it but it's not turkstras choice

noble lion
#

Idk how turkstra even found out about it

proud mauve
dawn valve
#

That’s actually so goofy

unique robin
#

actually a professor at our school did the same thing

neat hemlock
unique robin
#

nobody ended up getting expelled

#

well not expelled

#

academic violation

foggy fern
neat hemlock
#

yeah ig it might work, i normally just reread the proof until i get it

nimble oak
#

to keep me from forgetting

scenic oyster
#

yuh ig its good

#

in analysis theres so few thms where u just remember them all

#

but i remember my algebra class literally had 90k definitions to learn

nimble oak
nimble oak
#

idk i feel like in the past ive overcorrected to not try to do any rote memorization but im increasingly realizing memorization (as long as it's not by rote) is actually really useful and important

#

as long as you also understand it deeply

#

fair lol

#

i think most likely i'll just make cards periodically while studying when i want to stop thinking for a bit / take a break mentally

#

also orz

use furnished finder @unique robin

unique robin
#

i am

worthy palm
#

is even furnished finder cooked

unique robin
#

yeah

worthy palm
#

if even thats cooked idk man

unique robin
#

same places as airbnb

worthy palm
#

fr

unique robin
#

the problem is the place isnt like a well visited spot so not many in the first place

#

and the rest of the interns already got housing

worthy palm
#

i feel like furnished finder usually got more like 1-3 months items that are better deals than airbnb

#

cause its meant for traveling workers (originally built for nurses since they have to hop hospitals a lot)

unique robin
#

it looks about same to me

#

i think its a loc diff

#

i might have to shell out more money

#

though not ideal

covert prairie
#

Yo go on furnished finder and negotiate with people

#

Works way better than you’d expect

unique robin
#

do it

covert prairie
#

Especially if the place u work at is known in the area and people respect it

unique robin
#

ok ill try at higher price ranges

strong violet
#

im confused on wf's arrangement

#

do they not have a third party handling housing?

unique robin
#

nope

strong violet
#

or do they just give u stipend to figure it out

unique robin
#

they give u one time

strong violet
#

holy fucking chopped

#

that's an L company man

unique robin
#

2.5k + they pay tax

cerulean bridge
strong violet
#

you have to make 2.5k stretch for what

unique robin
#

#

its just a stipend

echo obsidian
unique robin
#

#

strong violet
#

so im trying to see how i like data engineering before i rlly start applying

crystal pendant
urban ore
#

have u done any data eng stuff before

strong violet
#

never, this internship will be my first time

#

i've obviously learned like sql basics and studied the architecture of those systems but nothing practical

urban ore
#

oh fair

#

if u find it boring just larp swe type shit

crystal pendant
#

crazy that like these jobs just pay 90-100k out of college. and people consider them bad 😭😭😭😭

strong violet
#

yeah that's the plan

strong violet
urban ore
strong violet
#

cuz its paying $26.50 for intern

urban ore
crystal pendant
#

like 100k is so much for a new grad if ur not in a big city

#

How to get quant

strong violet
#

forbidden words

#

if ur not making 200k+ fresh out of school it's over for you

urban ore
crystal pendant
strong violet
#

trust me i know but it's a lost cause trying to explain that to anyone here

#

maybe my ng offer would be like 35-40/hr

#

🤔

urban ore
#

tuff bro

strong violet
#

idk! no telling!

gritty breach
urban ore
#

35 an hour is my dream

strong violet
#

he says as he has nvidia

#

chip design at nvidia...

urban ore
#

orz

gritty breach
#

nowhere other than bay and nyc is a real place to cscd'ers

strong violet
#

well ye a lot of people here seem to live in those hcol

gritty breach
#

one does not simply say

#

low cost of living

strong violet
#

so yeah from an optics perspective i could see why 100k-140k could be bad

gritty breach
#

cscd'ers cannot comprehend what that is

strong violet
#

but if ur in like anywhere else...100k for a single person straight out of school is really good

urban ore
#

100k is actually poverty in the bay or nyc

#

which most people here want

#

but i’m from the trenches so idk

strong violet
#

dude cali just seems like such a terrible state to live in

gritty breach
#

100k is under the official poverty line for both cities

strong violet
#

like i dont see the appeal

fierce pendant
gritty breach
#

not even hyperbole

#

it's brutal out there

strong violet
#

i would rather go nyc over cali ngl

urban ore
strong violet
#

but im biased cuz im from chi

urban ore
#

idk about cali

gritty breach
#

I prefer nyc over bay

fierce pendant
gritty breach
#

and I'm a west coast boy

mellow saffron
strong violet
#

what privilege exactly

#

paying more taxes, dealing with more traffic, wildfires

#

W privilege

gritty breach
#

I feel like most of the bay is just hype

#

it's really so mid to live there

strong violet
mellow saffron
#

the privilege of growing up there so ur used to a standard

urban ore
#

real

strong violet
#

i guess man

#

i am looking from the outside in, after all

craggy sand
#

how much to comfortably live in the bay

fierce pendant
#

maybe seattle is the play…

strong violet
gritty breach
craggy sand
#

nah SD/LA is the play

strong violet
#

living in LA...ya right

crystal pendant
gritty breach
urban ore
#

LA is a shithole

mellow saffron
#

everyone says socal is the play until they notice there’s not many swe jobs in socal

opal needle
#

prev zon + stripe mf on r/csmajors got no summer offers 😭

#

are we deadass

craggy sand
#

js get anduril

blazing thicket
strong violet
opal needle
gritty breach
#

if you're rich + retired, socal is the best place to live out your days

mellow saffron
#

there’s a few offices for other big tech but that’s really abt it

#

sd for example is a lot more hardware focused

#

it’s great if ur retiring and allat yah

urban ore
strong violet
fierce pendant
#

would u be taking home more money in seattle than the bay

strong violet
#

no ro from either internship, and no procs

#

something is horribly wrong there

mellow saffron

next barn
opal needle

#

i dont beleive that

craggy sand

strong violet
#

dude i had no clue it scales like that

opal needle
#

yeah but sf u make more

strong violet
#

that's nutty

opal needle
#

so its like similar

mellow saffron
#

if u look at amazon as a baseline, the pay in the bay is ~20k more for example

strong violet
#

i can only hope for smth like that

mellow saffron
#

it offsets

gritty breach
opal needle
mellow saffron
#

washington then taxes u for food delivery, alcohol, and whatever other random stuff

gritty breach
#

I only applied to zon intern

#

for funzies

opal needle
#

wait actually

strong violet
#

gritty breach
#

yea

urban ore
strong violet
#

#

that's crazy

#

i might actually try for zon ng...

blazing thicket

narrow sierra
strong violet
#

which is why mythra highlighted a good point - they are used to a certain standard

opal needle
strong violet
#

like if ur parents conditioned you to think that making less than 200k is chopped then like obviously you carry that with you

urban ore
strong violet
#

no matter how out of touch it sounds

gritty breach

#

so many bay area dudes ive met are so insufferable

strong violet
#

there's 100% a disconnect between hcol people and like everyone below that

narrow sierra

urban ore
strong violet

i like to imagine most people here are like

also for tech, the sector you work in doesn't matter much

u guys work?

crazy

stark bloom
#

If i have a 3.65 gpa and i larp it to be 3.99, how would employers find out?

Most employers i seen so far haven’t asked for transcripts or anything

balmy bolt
narrow sierra
#

u don't rly gain much by larping gpa tbh

#

prolly not worth it

balmy bolt
#

but also it doesn't actually do anything anywhere that doesn't ask for transcript

narrow sierra
#

unless company asks for it specifically but they r much more likely to ask for transcript to verify

#

so like

kinda useless
