lets see if i get screened i heard its also complete rng if you even get oa
not sure
Why
seems like it tbh
thats what Im saying
i got it a few hours after i applied but some people have waited weeks
@jaunty cove
that makes more sense to me
maybe its cause i finished the Linkedin skill asessments for a bunch of languages 

WAITLIST FOR AMAZON ALREADY????
π

amazon interview waitlist has been going on for a while
interview waitlist?
it totally is auto
if ur good at swe its free
yeah I tried emailing 
as in even if you pass amazon oa it takes very long to schedule final
of
there is no way that i got the OA 3 hours after applying with a crappy resume if its not automated
ok in my book auto includes a bot parsing ur resume and sending you an OA
figma is faang slt

not for the offers right?
wyn
idk

i applied to jane street for swe internship but a recruiter offered me an interview for trader. i was confused so I reached out but she refused to change from trader to swe. did this happen to anybody too?

susge recruiter
why not let u change
@rapid swan
if I apply and get resume screened
can I still apply iwth another account
???
this guy interns at linkedin doesnt mean they explained to him the entire process in detail
it 
ur an it/it
the interviews would be much harder for me
just go topless

fr
I just went thru it
I didnt even apply 
food in nyc is not great

everyone complains
but free is free
I think it tastes good

exactly
but cali is just too good
its like
US pizza vs pizza in italy
u always remember the pizza in italy
and how much better it was
nah obviously dominos > italian pizza

average notjoe food take
This the trash taste podcast
Just applied to linkdin let's hope I don't get resume screened
can the pizza really be good when it's not dripping with cheese and oil
still cant understand
classic italian L
real
i think you guys didnt get linkedin OA casue u dont have enough linkedin conncetions

I have 2.4k


i dont know 500 people
and I ignore most of my connection reqs
just connect with ppl u kinda know 
yea but the sus thing is it shows when you search for people
so im scared to look up people i know
π€
just turn on private mode coper
dude i wish i knew that

yeah turn on private mode
linkedin tech support here
wait i meant colin lol
oh
huh

whats up
i am 1 / 500
Lol

now i can stalk people 
theres so many colin davises

how do u know the right one
i think he posted his link on socials channel
its a secret
colin davis was a famous english composer who died a few years ago (RIP)
is your name [redacted]
doxed
cause I don't want it anymore

π€¨
leaked what
is it facebook or linkedin that has a bunch of settings by default where if you change anything on your profile it tells all your followers
fb
π
do you get to see cool data regarding how many degrees of separation people are away from each other
im going to connect with every recommended person from my school
my time is now
i have no idea who any of these people are π
prob if I tried hard enough
I cba tho
stop
it would be cool and also a good way to lose your job to download a bunch of data and find out how many connections away you are from famous people
lol
@rapid swan
Careful with spamming connections
why
whats going to happen 
Linkedin told me my activity looked like a bot once 
good that means you think like a computer scientist
did they ban u
i got doxed again
is that your mom in your pfp
its my daughter
Nah, they just give you a warning
I mean, they might if u keep it going afterwards
stop
damn
shes single btw
wtf
can i get shortlisted via saying i have anxiety on my applications
so i have a disability
were u
@rustic topaz
its bc ppl make cringe connection bots
so need to rate limit them
dm me
ur linkedin
ya a lil
its cool
hrt freshman summer
like the recruiter side of a job posting
she only has 52 connections damn
her parents def set her up for success but still impressive
sheeeeeeeeesh
um I mean theres only so much parents can do
shes just crazy talented
@jaunty cove ok
her exp is mostly entrepreneurial
yea
cant really fake that lol
i know plenty of people at my wealthy high school who "founded" companies
(their parents use their own connections and financial capital to ensure they cant fail)
^^
hm
sounds like her parents connections and wealth enabled her to "found" a summer camp at age 15
why arent more ppl doing it then
because they dont have an impressive resume
all these achievements got her foot in the door
because their parents arent well off
i guarantee she is smart but not good will hunting
most people who are that smart are too busy being really fucking good at math to set up a perfect linkedin profile
but the fact that shes still doing the same high level stuff after college
speaks for itself
XD
get off discord
Honestly I know what youβre talking about here
. Not all of them ofc but quite a few of them are like that
yea
most of them are really weird (not necessarily a bad thing)
Yeah you can be good weird
I feel like international recognition is what it takes
i would argue ppl like this girl are impressive because of their organizational skills and social skills
look at everything she got selected for
its all 1 out of 20 worldwide and things like that
she has publications and harvard
wdym by 50/50
that gets u past resume screen
its a small factor for sure but i doubt it would be one of the top things in decision making
this
she would def get it as a guy
50/50 hiring def helps when the applicant pool is more like 90/10
but she would get it regardless
Couldnt ve put it better
thats true
are you trans?
yea
got it
why dont ppl just hit the random button on leetcode
what is alien dictionary part 2 
let me see
is it the
easy one
free leetcode premium
do swe
maybe their website has anti web scraping features idk
if its a good enough bot how would you know its a bot
i hate parental pressure
how the fuck do i get an internship with a stanford healthcare ml/ai researcher next year
any tips on reaching out to that person and figuring out how to learn the skills to get the internship?
i dont have linkedin but my dad does
im not
why do u need a stanford ml research position lol
bruh
im in 10th this year and im decent at ml/ai but i need to get better
literally everyone does research
yes
do internships
it doesnt have to be stanford
@cyan garnet
any internship is fine but that's ideal
also at JHU maybe
noted
its close by
Ash is a beta male
im interested in it
if you're in 10th grade, go play with legos or something
i love ml/ai
why dos everyone keep saying this
You got to keep in mind your ability for AI will be greatly limited if you don't understand multivariate calculus and linear algebra
im 4 grades ahead in math and ive done a bit of linear algebra
not multivar yet though
i have calc 2 this year, multivar is next year
but i can prob learn partial derivatives easily
lol
I have no idea what 4 grades ahead corresponds to, but if it's not multivariate and linear algebra, then you will have a very hard time developing a deeper understanding of AI
ik
calc 2 this year
i wont be doing advanced ml/ai stuff for now
im a noob at ml/ai but i love it and wanna do it as my career path
Multi var is not hard too
my parents want me to find what field i wanna focus on applying it to
im deciding between healthcare and finance
just wait until you realize 80% of ML roles is just data engineering
i care
lol ye
i know its like 99% data
thats what everyone says
but data is fascinating
but its just their parents telling them
This is why I want to do MLE
cause theres money in it
sometimes in industry, being able to touch grass is just as an important of a skill as code monke
but like
my parents want me to do super ambitious shit with it
ive already quit video games and manga
yeah good for them and
i still watch anime and video games 
yup
What kind of video games are we talking
minecraft
but i kinda get u, it's fun to just keep on improving
bro
if u play video games that doesnt mean u got a life
actually go outside or some shit
lmao
Addicting game
i go outside and workout
Smh
walk outside, do pushups every night
nice
...
my idea was i focus on learning and see what happens next summer
my mom's idea is email the stanford prof
then try to grind out all the prereqs in a year
before asking if i can help her with anything
@dense tinsel imo if you want to actually breach AI and people to take you seriously, self learn multivariate calc and linear algebra, and then take Andrew Ng's course on ML. Then, you'd be in a decent spot as a beginner
for example lets say the prof says "u should know basics of xyz"
ive self learned some linear algebra, will do more
i have ap stats next year
good intro
my parents will help me cold call or email them
and work on buildilng my resume
and making projects
yes
didn't this same conversation happen recently wtf
@timid ridge tiger this is what im talking about
pogu
my current project is a neural net from scratch, its going well and after that ill focus on maybe some more linear algebra
calc 2 at school is great fit tbh
overfit
true
my parents arent even sure she needs help next summer
but they say if i get good enough she wont be able to resist or smth
like getting my help
for sure
def gonna take advantage of that
only if im rlly good
i cant learn calc when im 7 yrs old
bru
If we're talking the mathematical side of ML, you generally need real analysis btw
anal fun
dont laugh
at that abbreviaiton
ha ha ha
i can take real anal from UMD in senior year i think
since im advanced enough
yeah tbh ill just focus on improving as much as i can
ive already made great progress since 1.5 months ago, if i dont get the internship, oh well
its not the end of the world
it's a numbers game π
i asked my dad why he wants me to do internships so young
and he said
"its not work though its just an internship"
idk what that means
Unless the course is bad, this is going to be extremely difficult to do. Good real analysis courses require a heavy foundation in mathematical proofs/logic
"You can enjoy your summer or be aggressive and proactive with your career son"
sounds like master oogway
maybe i can take a proofs course
How many color combinations do you have until you run out
ill have 1 year to take as much math as i can from the uni
Addict
so im thinking linear algebra, discrete math
and the third sem idk
maybe a proofs course
as long as u find it fun, feel free to do it
cuz ik a lot of ppl in college who are just burnt out from HS lol
you just got to do what is fun lol, so make grinding fun, and you'll become cracked, just enjoy whatever ur grinding
personally i didn't do jack in HS, just watched anime
haven't had any issue in college, i just grind now
i do think the biggest advice a person can have in life tho is being born to the right parents
nah i can disagree here, it's possible for ppl in college to catch up to you
the issue is you can learn up to a certain plateu that everyone reaches, but to improve from there takes a crapton of effort and you won't improve as fast, so eventually everyone will reach that plateu and you need to change your strat to improve and go higher
its fun yeah
my parents just want me to get an edge early
for top uni
and learn valuable work exp
how to work in a team, technical stuff, college apps, etc.
top uni useless lol, unless u want startup moeny at stanford
it is, there are lots of weak ppl at top schools
im in contact with a girl who at my age did a ml/ai internship at ucla neuroscience center, gonna ask how that works
if ur strong, u don't need connections cuz the other strong ppl will come to you, only the weaker students in top unis need the connectoins
wdym lmao
my parents can help me with connections since they have a lot of those
dad is aggressively helping me find internships which is nice
the most important thing imo is to just focus on honing ur skills and making a good bran abt urself
dude ur a 10th grader
ur parents are good, most of us here are dipshits whose parents don't even know how the game works and just wanna grind ourselves
just go enjoy life and work on the side
but yah, it's too early lmao
even if my dad knows her i wanna introduce myself to her
its more proactive than waiting for my dad
lru cache
stop troll
ima run over and slap u
make some projects that are impactful, showcase ur passion in leanring a lot. Tbh at this age you'll prolly be deadweight unless ur scale ai founder brain
I think someone leaked it online
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/P_versus_NP_problem
The P versus NP problem is a major unsolved problem in theoretical computer science. In informal terms, it asks whether every problem whose solution can be quickly verified can also be quickly solved.
The informal term quickly, used above, means the existence of an algorithm solving the task that runs in polynomial time, such that the time to co...
go bears
No problem
Reminds me of the story of the guy who lost a crypto wallet with like 2k bitcoins
fermat be like:
nerd
It was in his USB
hmm good idea
for c1 u just need above like 680-700 iirc
go
ok anyway
@devout fractal projects is def my focus
thats the main way i can impress anyone tbh
learning and projects
yeah try and make ur projects impactful, but no biggie if u can't
I hate that I forgot all these already
the main thing top school AOs look for is ur "impact factor"
cuz it's the easiest way to gauge if ur gonna be good in the future. But it's actually a bad metric since a large number of future top ppl just haven't started applying themsleves
HS is too early imo unless ur being pushed
but that's how the game works
my parents idea of pushing is like
^
"u dont HAVE to do it but its proactive, aggressive, taking control of your future, etc."
ill start grinding kaggle comps and hackathons for sure
the ppl ik at places like MIT and Harvard mainly did social impact stuff through STEM, won hackathons and got to meet gov officials abt their projects etc
one of my friends ended up at a place w a 30% acc rate w multiple swe internships
I'd imagine any IMO medals is basically a ticket to wherever you want
so agree
stuff like RSI yeah
i have a friend who went to Andover, did RSI and founded a huge hackathon t
i shall solve navier stokes
!!!
go get a life kid
No cap though, the amount of problem solving skills and types of people you meet will set you for life easily
id much rather do internships and stuff than math comps
sorry but those are just boring and stupid
same with USACO
math comps help quite a bit tho
tbh u don't need to go to a top top school tbh. Just get about about T50 and below, from there u just need to showcase strong skillset
Like in terms of problem solving
comp programming is literally tricking kids into staritng the leetcode grind at 13
the peddling of needing to go to a top school is prolly the biggest scam to HSers
+50k every time, why wouldn't you
yah cuz success in this society basically boils down to impact factor
are HS competitive programmers really cracked
Why do you hate it
No he's in 10th grade
nah he's worse than ash
real world doesnt care if u can do BFS faster than u finish in bed
at least ash hustles by himself
they want projects with impact
wait till u find out abotu leetcode lmao
and work exp
i have no clue why google does leetcode shit
why not a take home assignment
Sure but learning how to problem solve is important imo
yeah true
amazon a bum
Take home assignments suck ass
cp or math rly helps with this
Bro
?
?
@rustic topaz are you still applying
ash we found someone more cringe than u
yo
?
never thought about it like that
no
I haven't gotten an offer
yo
tbf at least @cyan garnet hustles by himself
more cringe?? i am not cringe
ash whats ur hs gpa
O right I forgot
yah im meming with u, ur actually p cool ngl
false yalll are
?
apple / our wave too
nah everyone in this server cool ngl
1.0
the base line for any good uni
is like a 4.0 + lots of APs
then they wanna see internships, ecs, passion
yep
marks
probably not
if i get good grades yes
nope but thats cuz i dont prioritize school
imma start prioritizing this year
i put minimum effort and get acceptable marks
yea
yea
ash
hello
ash whats up
lucky that ur in CA
neat
baller
couldnt
i mean same but ai ml is my interest
2 mil tc 
okay so basically @dense tinsel , here's how the pipeline works:
For HS, AOs are the first gatekeepers and the main thing they are thinking abt is ur impact factor differentiate among top candidates. So u need abt above a 3.9 UW gpa, strong AP scores as a baseline and then sth to showcase ur impact factor.
For college, companies are a lot more meritocratic, esp in tech. They take anyone who can showcase they have the releveant skillset on their resume. You need to be able to pass data struct/algo interviews to get good job. The main rule of the game is internship clout.
Once u get good job, u can either try climbing, but imo it gets kinda boring. Prolly just chill out or go to a stratup after a bit
nice
both
theres so much to do for ai ml and people who do ai ml most of the time are using models which anyone can use
i just came back from the mall
Awesome, def gonna note this advice, thanks
the college admissions game is basically just rng ngl after a certain level
ya
saw a cute girl i could have asked her for her number but i didnt π
hoenstly yeah
thankfully the actual tech industry is a lot more meritocratic
mainly cuz she might have been younger than me u really cant tell with girls
yea i made google
No?
you didnt know?
wloo > cmu 
loo a lot of rng
i donβt wanna go to loo
loo is peaceful
No
i wanna have fun and have a good career
No
big brian andy

sex?
ssi asks: ban goku
stop
Sex is the trait that determines whether a sexually reproducing animal or plant produces male gametes or female ones. Male plants and animals produce smaller gametes (spermatozoa, sperm) while females produce larger ones (ova, often called egg cells). Organisms that produce both types of gametes are called hermaphrodites. During sexual reproduc...

usually I think a hard OA is a good thing but gap is literally worse than amazon
greedy solutions be like
"just solve it lol"

preparing for greedy is just knowing the problem beforehand

apparently they doing ar/vr metaverse stuff

jeans nfts

id work on jean nfts if they paid for my fucking housing >:(
wtf
they dont??
they in fact
@sinful locust was it the problem with teams and shit?
bro acting like big tech and cant pay big tech interns what theyre worth
they gonna have no interns
my friend got a greedy problem on #1 that was super confusing
tbh id be down to do them remote
dude idek if it was just greedy
I wonder if gap problems got leaked last yr so they made them hard this yr
it lowkey seemed like dp too
but if im going in person i dont want to pay for my own housing :|

nah probably not
yeah it does but it was just very confusing
when did you apply to msft? and this is for new grad US right?
yea thats what i meant too
i mean
