UIUC!!! (2022-2023)

[tender matrix]

hmmm its actually not too bad rn

[valid tendon]

im tagging uiuc in my instagram bio to manifest this Wacceptance tomorrow

also it’s at 4pm cst right?

[tender matrix]

so far I see like maybe a 40% to 60% type deal

[craggy crypt]

tbh i expect nothing cuz like

[tender matrix]

lesss gooo

[olive shard]

wait thats acc crazy

[tender matrix]

yea fr

[craggy crypt]

i did pure cs but thats only thing id pay oos for so

[olive shard]

for cs

[tender matrix]

I dont like

uiuc food

LOL

[tender matrix]

well a lot of nonmajors take it too haha

to transfer in to cs+x

[craggy crypt]

lmao fair

[tender matrix]

grainger CS is 40% female 60% male

iirc

the cs+x is more skewed

25% female 75% male for a few

depends on the X part ofc

[olive shard]

is that... intentional by UIUC?

[tender matrix]

hmmm I'm not sure

they want to raise diversity for sure

but if you are a girl in CS here you definetly won't be lonely

[olive shard]

because normally cs is 80 20

[tender matrix]

yea lol

but at top cs schools

[olive shard]

or less

[tender matrix]

its more balanced

iirc

CMU is 50% male 50% female

[manic jetty]

hows the course load for cs

for first year at least

bearable?

[tender matrix]

first sem

if you don't profiency

is very chill

take that time to make friends and have fun

second sem it doubles down

which is what I'm going through rn haha

[craggy crypt]

real

i imagine uiuc cs is like idk

pre much dev lvl coders that jus want the degree

[tender matrix]

LOL

I have been told

[craggy crypt]

in my head

[tender matrix]

(dont know if this is true)

that we are better coders than berkeley

cause our curriculum is very focused on implementation and coding

[craggy crypt]

ic

[tender matrix]

while theirs might be more theoretical or more about bringing ideas to life

[craggy crypt]

what lang yall use

[tender matrix]

c++

first sem is java/kotlin tho

[night cape]

C++ / Python gang

[tender matrix]

you get the chance to learn so many langs tho its so fun

[craggy crypt]

i think id unironically lean towards more that tbh

[night cape]

C++ best language

💀

[craggy crypt]

ye ik java/python

[surreal dome]

me fr

[tender matrix]

not to say we don't have that here, its just that they are better at it

[craggy crypt]

real

[tender matrix]

we are the best for systems programming

[night cape]

Any competitive coding competitions at uiuc?

[tender matrix]

thats what we are known for

[night cape]

ICPC?

[tender matrix]

yes!!

I am in ICPC

not the team though

[night cape]

Ooohhhh

[surreal dome]

literally already have a fulltime dev job, only going to college because I want to eventually get a phd

[tender matrix]

cause I'm too busy to do it

[night cape]

Sounds nice

[tender matrix]

but yes

its very nice

[craggy crypt]

me when ive never been to a hackathon

[tender matrix]

ICPC is small here so its nice

[night cape]

Really have to start codeforces

[tender matrix]

hackillinois!!

[tender matrix]

yea thats what we use

[craggy crypt]

that shi sound scary gang 😭

i feel like idk enough

[night cape]

Have a few nutella friends at codeforces

[tender matrix]

nah its really fun

[night cape]

Their skill is ungodly

💀

[tender matrix]

I just finished hackillinois

one of the coolest things here I've done

also tons of internship opporutnities

half my friends have internships now LOL

as freshmen

CS+x majors too

[craggy crypt]

ye

[surreal dome]

wow, fr?

[craggy crypt]

thats what im worried bout at vt (im assuming i bomb rd and go 0/18)

[surreal dome]

a super-cracked grainger cs friend is struggling to find anything

[craggy crypt]

talked to some cs majors there and apparently its acc pretty good once u get past gen eng

[tender matrix]

yea its nuts

[tender matrix]

well a bit of luck is necessary

[night cape]

Are there a lot of Koreans there?

[tender matrix]

I also got an internship at a really big company

[tender matrix]

tons

LOL

[night cape]

Yeah o heard

[tender matrix]

good korean food too

[night cape]

Damn

[craggy crypt]

he did say half

[tender matrix]

I be eating kimchi fried rice or budeijigai

all the time

[night cape]

Shits the bomb

[craggy crypt]

any africans

[night cape]

Amazing

[tender matrix]

frrr

[tender matrix]

I personally haven't met any

but I'm sure there are

I'm usually hanging around asians lol

[craggy crypt]

lemme be the diversity hire /j

fair enough

we usually go towards name prestige so

[night cape]

I imagine a Korean would have a tougher time getting in

💀

Similar to Chinese eh?

[tender matrix]

💀

[tender matrix]

yea probably tbh

[glad latch]

what about whites

[tender matrix]

ehhh not too much

[craggy crypt]

if it got me in I would NOT be mad

[glad latch]

wait did u not meet noah yet

the other guy here

[tender matrix]

nope 💀

[craggy crypt]

[tender matrix]

I havent met mwh inc either

although I saw he attened hackillinois 👀

[glad latch]

rip

[craggy crypt]

@glad latch what schools u waiting on

[tender matrix]

also gotta say

[glad latch]

like list all of them?

[tender matrix]

the X part of the degree is nice

my internship is at one of the biggest companies for acturial science

and I think thats because I had stats

[craggy crypt]

ig the big ones but if u want sure

[tender matrix]

stats = good for actuarial science

[timid island]

@tender matrix does cs+stats help for fintech

[craggy crypt]

like youd take over uiuc

[tender matrix]

so yea if ur cs+X you could use "X" to ur advtange

[tender matrix]

for sure

I almost got into a fintech company

was waitlisted

ima try again next year

[night cape]

Mind if I ask what your GPA was?

[timid island]

Wait even companies do waitlists

[tender matrix]

mine?

[tender matrix]

some do

[night cape]

Mhm

[tender matrix]

yea i had a 3.86?

I think

[night cape]

Im fine with everything else, just my GPA is a meh

[timid island]

Same

[tender matrix]

but ofc u dont need to use the "X"

[night cape]

Idk if this matters but

[tender matrix]

cause my friend in cs+x got a pure swe role

[glad latch]

uw madison is deferred

rest rd

[night cape]

I started at around 3.3 freshmen but got 3.91 at senior

Idk if it makes a difference tho

I hope

[tender matrix]

nah they note upward grade trends

its aight

[timid island]

If you have growth that’s good

[tender matrix]

my file talked about my upward grade trend

[night cape]

Ah nice

[craggy crypt]

ah ic

[empty scroll]

I want to look at my file

[timid island]

I had minor grade drop first semester junior year (2 b’s) but then got only 1 b 2nd semester hopefully that’s not a big deal

[craggy crypt]

lmao my grades prolly hv no clear trend

cuz intl to domestic

mostly As regardless

[empty scroll]

same

[night cape]

If you look at my grades they best fit an exponential graph

💀

[strong fox]

That means he’s awkward

[tender matrix]

lol

[craggy crypt]

real

[empty scroll]

lol

[strong fox]

If I continue on the track I’m on I’m guaranteed a job out of college lol

[craggy crypt]

avg cs major

[strong fox]

I’m not even in CS

[tender matrix]

same

[craggy crypt]

oh guys

[tender matrix]

And then me

[tender matrix]

ah

[strong fox]

Got it

I’m not even saying mine lol

[tender matrix]

ye lol

apparnetly they took 2 software interns

and then a shit load of actuarial science ones

[empty scroll]

you said location before lol

[strong fox]

Mine took 15, but it’s a fortune too 200 before

[tender matrix]

true

[craggy crypt]

we know ur school

[tender matrix]

[tender matrix]

LOL

i mean if u dox me

fine

[glad latch]

ik where noah lives

[tender matrix]

cause I assume you'll be on campus next year anyway

and I'll know you too 👀

[craggy crypt]

i prolly wont tbh

[glad latch]

most likely

[craggy crypt]

im not good enough for uiuc cs

[tender matrix]

nah have faith

[tender matrix]

danng

[night cape]

did yall request financial aid?

[strong fox]

Where

[tender matrix]

gonna be great

[glad latch]

you sent an image

[craggy crypt]

all i got is 3.8 uw 1500 and only cs ec is like starting a coding club in nigeria

[tender matrix]

shit I forgot to do the fafsa

lmaooo

[night cape]

lmao

[timid island]

Don’t lose hope bro

[strong fox]

Oh yeah

[tender matrix]

bruh thats literally me

LOL

[glad latch]

and you said in some hall

[strong fox]

I sent a photo of my dorm

[craggy crypt]

[timid island]

That’s good my guy 😭

[craggy crypt]

[strong fox]

I have access to babcock

Ohhh private things

[night cape]

[craggy crypt]

idk ive got shot down by gt and ut so i expect uiuc and udub to be same

[tender matrix]

cause I need to stay here over break

[night cape]

💀

[strong fox]

Fair

[timid island]

My friends sister lives there and apparently it’s not good

[tender matrix]

its ass

DO NOT LIVE AT ILLINI TOWER

[strong fox]

It is ass

[tender matrix]

worst mistake

I made

fuck

[craggy crypt]

lmfao

[tender matrix]

I can barely make friends in this dorm too

[timid island]

I heard it got flooded and they didn’t tell anyone until a day before move in

[strong fox]

My ra lived their last year

[glad latch]

y

[tender matrix]

exactly

[tender matrix]

the way its set up

[craggy crypt]

😭

[strong fox]

PAR > a lot of halls

[tender matrix]

doesn't lead to social interaction

[craggy crypt]

thats insane

[tender matrix]

nah fr

I should've lived in par

[timid island]

Same but every school is different

[tender matrix]

PAR is underrrated

ISR is overrated

[strong fox]

I’m sitting in my lounge with my entire floor here rn

They’re my friend group

[tender matrix]

damn

[strong fox]

ISR isn’t bad

It’s just same tier as PAR

[tender matrix]

ngl I think PAR is better

especially dining hall wise

[strong fox]

except PAR is farther from engineering, but has busses everywhere

[tender matrix]

isr food is nasty

to me

[strong fox]

True but PAR got much worse

[craggy crypt]

mm ur right tbh rn im hoping for uva (in state id be satisfied)

[night cape]

do american colleges allow double enrollment with overseas colleges?

[tender matrix]

well either way don't choose Illini tower

its fucking awful

[empty scroll]

theres like 60k people on the campus right

so if I didnt want to see someone

[tender matrix]

hmm you could shoot an email to ask

[empty scroll]

ill never see them again

[night cape]

currently have seoul national uni on my list so idk

[tender matrix]

more probably

[tender matrix]

yes

[tender matrix]

oooo SNU

[night cape]

mhm

[tender matrix]

bruh I barely see my friends like on a random walk cause campus is huge

so like

if u dont wanna see someone

you wont

[night cape]

if i get in anywhere prob gonna drop out of SNU tho

[empty scroll]

nice got to keep the options open yk

[strong fox]

I see people I know a lot tbh

But I also know a lot

[tender matrix]

lol

[strong fox]

And have 750 people from my highschool here

[tender matrix]

LOL

yea only 4 ppl from my hs came

including me

so yea I dont know too many people yet

[strong fox]

My class had close to 200 including me

[tender matrix]

💀

I had 40

[empty scroll]

ill have like 80

[tender matrix]

it was very weird going from a small school to a big one

[strong fox]

I meant 200 attending here

I have 1.2k in my class

[tender matrix]

but more people to make friends with

[tender matrix]

jesus

[empty scroll]

damn

[tender matrix]

I knew everyone and their mom's name in my grade LOL

[strong fox]

I knew majority

[empty scroll]

I have like 500 people in my class

and thats already too much

[tender matrix]

jeez

thats a lot

[glad latch]

high school?

[empty scroll]

yes

[glad latch]

you mean graduating class

[tender matrix]

did u try raising canes yet

[glad latch]

normal class like 30-40

for hs

[strong fox]

Yes

[empty scroll]

yes

[tender matrix]

I went tonight and it was packed but got my order in 10 min

[strong fox]

I fucking love canes

[tender matrix]

quick and smooth

[empty scroll]

normal class is like 15-20

[glad latch]

500 is normall

[empty scroll]

in mine

[tender matrix]

the slaw swap

[glad latch]

wow that is small

[tender matrix]

someone taught it to me

truly an amazing invetion

[strong fox]

I sub slaw for another toast

[tender matrix]

bruh that texas toast

[empty scroll]

its prob bcs most of my classes are only accesible to seniors

[tender matrix]

is a drug

so is the sauce

bruh my friend tho

[strong fox]

If is

[tender matrix]

he bought a box

[strong fox]

I get extra sauce

[tender matrix]

he fucking thrw away the sauce

and ate the chicken without sauce

[strong fox]

Why would you eat canes without

[tender matrix]

ikr

insane

[strong fox]

The chicken isn’t too good without the sauce lol

[glad latch]

i am taking one class accessible to seniors only too

[tender matrix]

LMAOO

fr

[glad latch]

35 people

[empty scroll]

oof

[glad latch]

means easier to play video games

do people game during college lectures

[tender matrix]

lol

not only game

I saw someone watching porn once

[glad latch]

ummm

i knew it

[tender matrix]

i mean its college

you can do whatever

[glad latch]

@pure spire should know

[empty scroll]

basically no one gets away with that. I probably wouldnt even if I had a chance

[tender matrix]

the lecturer is gonna climb to the second floor and confiscate ur device

[pure spire]

...

IT

WAS

[timid island]

@tender matrix have u taken a class with dr. carpenter

[pure spire]

BECAUSE I WAS PIRATING A DIFFYQ TEXTBOOK

[tender matrix]

uhh

who?

[echo minnow]

gg 2.85% acceptance rate

[glad latch]

r u sure ur info is accurate

[echo minnow]

yes

on god

[surreal dome]

I'm cs+math. quant time 😈

[tender matrix]

ez

I wanna try quant next sem

since Im doing something fintech this summer

[empty scroll]

cs single handedly bringing down the schools acceptance rate by 10%

[timid island]

math professor

[tender matrix]

ahh nope didnt have him

[tender matrix]

NO FR

LOL

[timid island]

hes like the coordinator for my calc 3 class

[tender matrix]

ah interesting

[echo minnow]

i feel like cs + stats is more useful than cs + math

[tender matrix]

my prof for calc 3 is sarka

[tender matrix]

depends on what you wanna do

stats fits me better cause I like ML shit

but a person that wants to work with theory

should do cs+math

[echo minnow]

isnt quant like a ton of probability stuff

[glad latch]

wait so the grainger rate is just basically cs

lowering it

[tender matrix]

yea but quant is only one field

tons of other fields

[elfin snow]

man rly gotta ping me to say this. rip bozo 😭

[empty scroll]

thats my guess

[tender matrix]

cs + physics is gonna be cracked for quant though

[echo minnow]

yea thats a super cool major

i aint built for that tho

💀

[empty scroll]

theres no other major that should be that competetive

[glad latch]

i thought ee/ce would be 2nd most comp

at least ce is

20%

[echo minnow]

its cs > ce > ee

[glad latch]

but ee is at 60%

wtf

[tender matrix]

hmm

[echo minnow]

nc

bc

ee is allowed to be put as second major

so all the cs rejects get put in it

[tender matrix]

true yea

[glad latch]

well still

that means ez to get into

[empty scroll]

ah so the cs rejects bring down the yield probably

[glad latch]

are cs rejects all cracked

[surreal dome]

60% fr crazy though

[tender matrix]

depends

[timid island]

Hopefully that works out for me if I don’t get in first choice 💀

[tender matrix]

well wait for the '23 stats

[surreal dome]

like uw madison probably has a lower ee ar than that ☠️

[tender matrix]

I heard its much harder to get in this year

[empty scroll]

people who did their research would put ee as second so probably to an extent

[tender matrix]

they cut class size

so wait till the results come out

we dropped a whole 15% last year

I expect we keep dropping

[glad latch]

but ce is more closely related to cs than ee

[echo minnow]

i dont think you can put ce as second, can you?

[glad latch]

and if u get into 2nd choice major

[empty scroll]

idk anyone whot put ce as second

[tender matrix]

you can't put CE second

[glad latch]

is there that beautiful acceptance screen

or it says waitlisted for first

or what idk

[tired robin]

id assume they just accept you for 2nd

[echo minnow]

yes

[empty scroll]

I did CE bcs I didnt want to sit all day

[echo minnow]

it just says that but for the second major

[tired robin]

ur still gonna sit all day

[empty scroll]

I realized

after looking at the courses

[tired robin]

lols

[glad latch]

i can easily transfer anyways

[echo minnow]

yea

[empty scroll]

yeah

[echo minnow]

just do good in the begininer ece classes

then it should be p free

[surreal dome]

how hard is cs+x -> ce generally? is it even possible?

[echo minnow]

i just need to do calc 3 and a beginner stats class then i can go to cs + stats

[echo minnow]

yes

its possible

[tender matrix]

ur hackillinois project was cool

[tired robin]

BRO IT WAS SO BROKEN

[tender matrix]

was rooting for ur win ngl

[empty scroll]

you need to first transfer to grainger and then to CE

[tender matrix]

that shit was cool

[empty scroll]

so hard

[tender matrix]

LOL SO WAS MINE

[tired robin]

WE WERE SO CLOSE TO GETTING IT TO WORK

[tender matrix]

now you got a side project for the resume

to keep working on ofc

[tired robin]

but i couldnt replicate the ML calls on my machine and spotify was finnicky

[tired robin]

orr just dont touch it

did u see the speedrun deployment i did the day after hackathaton ended

i shoulda done that–i didnt have a README for the front end and i screenshotted photos of the website 30 seconds before the due time

[glad latch]

wait that data he sent

does it include the 2nd choice apps in ee

[echo minnow]

ye

[glad latch]

if not that would make more sense

oh nvm

[echo minnow]

wym

why would it make more sense if it didnt have 2nd choiec

[glad latch]

because if it doesnt include people who put 2nd choice

that skyrockets acceptance rate

[echo minnow]

i doubt 60% of kids who put first choice ee got in

lol

[glad latch]

im sure a lot of cs people put ee as 2nd then

[echo minnow]

yea they did

[glad latch]

can cs+x be 2nd?

[echo minnow]

no

[glad latch]

yeah

so

[tired robin]

yall

[glad latch]

maybe the data does not include people who put ee as 2nd then

[mental ridge]

does uiuc even accept people rd

[tired robin]

putting way too much speculation and effort into these stats

[mental ridge]

other than instate

[echo minnow]

huh

[glad latch]

lol

[echo minnow]

the only explanation for high acceptance rate is cs rejects

[glad latch]

the number of people who applied ee first choice is 500 something im guessing

[tired robin]

you dont think that many people want to do EE over CS?

[patent sundial]

In my 2nd major it says no answer so would I be considered for undecided ?

[echo minnow]

theres more CS rejects than people that want to do EE

100%

[tired robin]

says who

[tender matrix]

oh damn I didnt

LOLLL

[tired robin]

it was so fast to do bc i forgot vercel streamliens the process

https://audio-book-seven.vercel.app/

[tender matrix]

LOLLL

[tired robin]

it doesnt work xd

[tender matrix]

holy shit

you guys hosted

I was so burned out at 5am

I didnt bother

[tired robin]

ITS JUST A FRONT END

[tender matrix]

hosting it

[tired robin]

I WAS DEAD

[tender matrix]

LMAOOOOO

dude ur front end skills

are godly

[tired robin]

i was gonna connect with microsoft azure but again, couldnt replicate locally so died

[tender matrix]

HAHAHAHAH

[tired robin]

yeah thats the only carry

hehehe

[echo minnow]

bro

[tender matrix]

same for my team

[echo minnow]

grainger literally recieved 10k+ apps for cs alone

[tired robin]

this was a 2 person team

[tender matrix]

my frontend team hard carried

[tender matrix]

I was 4

but we had cs173 examlet that day

💀

[tired robin]

ah

shoulda found 2 more teammates, we werent sure about it during team matching

[glad latch]

then only a few put ee as 2nd?

send the ee/ce data again

because i see not many people apply ee

or ce

[empty scroll]

no it means you didnt answer it

[glad latch]

yeah surprisingly little apps

considering ece should be 2nd most popular major

[empty scroll]

wow this is pretty cool

[tired robin]

ty but it doesnt work

spotify auth fails on production

[echo minnow]

ok maybe ur right

[tired robin]

i hard coded your book upload

[echo minnow]

but

[empty scroll]

lmao integration hell?

[tender matrix]

did u go to any of the events

LOL

I didnt

[echo minnow]

cs signle handedly drops the grainger avg acceptance rate

[tired robin]

ehh not really

[tender matrix]

me and my clown tier

[echo minnow]

which seems legit

[glad latch]

yes

[tired robin]

plss this was alla fter the hackathon

i swear if i actually posted this before the deadline

and put a README

[tender matrix]

also my ML model became a random number generator in the end

LOL

[tired robin]

we woulda had a fighting chance

[tender matrix]

cause decision trees was overfitting so bad

so was random forests

[tired robin]

if u look into my source code, i hard-coded the text and genres

[echo minnow]

ece only had 3k apps while cs had 10k

[tender matrix]

HAHAHA

[tired robin]

my commit messages are comedy

[echo minnow]

i bet other departments had even less than ece

[tender matrix]

this is correct right?

LOL

[tired robin]

yes

[glad latch]

nah

[tired robin]

oauth fails bc some production env vars missing

[glad latch]

46k applied

i believe

[zenith sparrow]

Guys btw you can appeal a rejection

I think

For rd

[glad latch]

yes

[zenith sparrow]

For ea definitely

[glad latch]

not worth trying

[zenith sparrow]

you can apply for a different major or also list courses

[glad latch]

very little appeals are successful

[zenith sparrow]

well in my case I left out a few courses on my SRAR lol

[tender matrix]

damnnn

[glad latch]

how

[surreal dome]

yeah the total grainger ar then kinda makes sense. even if CE has a 60% ar, cs+ce combined is almost sub15

[tender matrix]

did u sign up for datathon 👀

[zenith sparrow]

bc I'm an idiot that's how

[tender matrix]

I wonder if thats gonna be as bad as the hackathon

[tired robin]

nah

[tender matrix]

also mountain paths is this week

[tired robin]

im not doing this for another year kms

[tender matrix]

😭

[glad latch]

rejected ea?

[echo minnow]

https://grainger.illinois.edu/admissions/faq

[tender matrix]

LMAOOO

[echo minnow]

idk how outdated this is

[tender matrix]

I understand the sentiment

[zenith sparrow]

Anyway I'm not expecting anything but the ao said I'll get my decision tmrw

[zenith sparrow]

Yep, pure CS lol

[tired robin]

i went from 9AM to 10AM the next day

[zenith sparrow]

Oops

*OOS

[glad latch]

higher but should not be 60%. that is ten times the rate of cs

[tender matrix]

basically the same for me 💀

[tired robin]

those welchs fruit gummies carried hard

[empty scroll]

literally me doing my schools hackathon lol. its starts today as well lol

[glad latch]

send the cs stats again

[waxen venture]

Are the decisies coming out 4pm central

[tired robin]

yes

[glad latch]

yes

[glad latch]

does this add to 10k

i dont wanna do math

[echo minnow]

yea

like 10.2

[empty scroll]

is the judging based on live presentation or some other format?

[tired robin]

uhhhh i didnt show up for the booth presentataion

i slept

[surreal dome]

the in-state female ar goes crazy wow

[tender matrix]

i took like 4 plates of pasta

the first night

LOL

[echo minnow]

they trying to make it not a sausage fest

respect

[zenith sparrow]

damn 29%?

[tender matrix]

😭

damn we could've met

[zenith sparrow]

sheesh

[echo minnow]

no. that is only for instate female

[tender matrix]

I showed up for the booth presentations in the end

[tired robin]

keep in mind you cannot compare applicant pools

[tender matrix]

but man I wanted to vomit the whole time

[echo minnow]

also look how little females applied

[zenith sparrow]

ah oops

[echo minnow]

they take around the same amount

from each pool

[zenith sparrow]

yeah true

[tired robin]

i woulda fell asleep

next year iim gonna

a) actually get 4 teammates on board early
b) make a README lmao
c) dont do something bat crazy like this again
d) do even more research before

[tender matrix]

damn

[tired robin]

i also realize that my project doxxes me but oh well

[tender matrix]

high expectations from you then 👀

[tired robin]

pls no

i wanted to do something with dolby atmos's spatial audio api

[glad latch]

so my point was that the data for ee may not contain the cs kids who put ee as 2nd choice?

[tired robin]

but that'd be too dependent on my slim expertise of acoustics

[grim perch]

nah

maybe

ce is 20%

[echo minnow]

it probably does, if you put ee as second and got rejected frm cs then technically you applied to EE

[grim perch]

but ee is 60%

that makes no sense

but maybe

[grim perch]

but like a lot of cs kids would put ee as 2nd right

what other major to put

[echo minnow]

maybe not as much as we think

[grim perch]

ce and cs+x cant be 2nd

[echo minnow]

how bout they didnt put a second major

lol

[waxen venture]

Do we have admissions stats for bio

[empty scroll]

cognitive sciences or something similar

[grim perch]

well

[surreal dome]

math

[empty scroll]

math

[tired robin]

i put math lmao

[empty scroll]

economics

other engineering majors

huge variety

[grim perch]

not similar to cs

[echo minnow]

nah but the overall acceptnce rate should apply

[grim perch]

but ee is the closest 2nd major to cs

[tender matrix]

that does sound very cool

[grim perch]

so that my point

[surreal dome]

same, math is my first-choice major at most places too

[tender matrix]

I put math second

after cs stats

[empty scroll]

lol what. you can do a lot with economics and cs

[glad latch]

guys lets move on

to keep me sane

lol

[echo minnow]

dw you going to ce lol

[tired robin]

lol but then i'd have to actually make sure i can deploy it

[tired robin]

shoulda said that 3 weeks ago

[glad latch]

well he sent the stats

and then i got into it

lol

[tender matrix]

LOL

[surreal dome]

to end the confusion once and for all: just go to purdue and ask how many of their FYE students were rejected from grainger to calculate the final ARs

[tender matrix]

I dunno what I wanna do next year

maybe more ML

[grim perch]

oh lol idk

[empty scroll]

even if its close I would be too scared to apply to ee bcs of math

[grim perch]

how

[tender matrix]

but man I hate cleaning data

[grim perch]

wdym

[tired robin]

one of my other ideas was to make an audio cancellation widget that uses your laptop mics, turns out the physics doesnt work because near impossible to get accurate data to cancel

[night cape]

currently listening to ML classes at SNU

pretty fun

listening to senior classes as a freshman

[grim perch]

but u got honors and scholarship that should be rare

[empty scroll]

its even intensive with physics and math then CE. I dont like that and I would probably fail

[glad latch]

wait

do they award scholarship

by college or major department

[surreal dome]

both

[glad latch]

so not rare then

because seems not a lot go intoo ee

[grim perch]

still somewhat rare

[tender matrix]

damnnn taking classes at SNU

[empty scroll]

I hate preprocessing

[tender matrix]

dude where are you getting these ideas man

Im like

I spent 5 hours to get an idea

LOL

[tired robin]

the night before dying in bed

[tender matrix]

wouldn't be suprised a mwh inc company in a few years 👀

plz hire me

I wanna be part of a unicorn

[tired robin]

oh yeah we didnt get the audiobook one until nighttime friday, then took 4 hours to verify its feasability

[tender matrix]

same

[tender matrix]

LOL

[tired robin]

i have no time to deal with business bureareacy pls

come to kocree tho

startup time

[tender matrix]

whats kocree?

[tired robin]

RP startup building a music app (atm)

[zenith sparrow]

Asus has something like that

But it's horrible

[tired robin]

link? i wanna see

[tender matrix]

ah what

thats cool

whats RP??

LOL

[zenith sparrow]

uhh one sec

https://www.asus.com/Microsite/motherboard/Intelligent-motherboard/Two-Way-AI-Noise-Cancelation.html

Here

@tired robin

[tired robin]

i believe that the issue is that while in theory, cancelling signals via destructive interference is easy, getting an accurate signal to what you hear is really difficult. a small difference is very aurally noticeable

why is the website from the late 2000s (or seems to be xd)

[zenith sparrow]

uhh

bc it's a taiwanese company

prob

Lol

[tired robin]

y would u even mtnion that

[zenith sparrow]

bc Asus specializes in gaming PCs

maybe

still seems kinda useless tho

[tired robin]

and this waveform is BS lol

[zenith sparrow]

Lol

[tired robin]

show a spectrogram before and after instead:p

[empty scroll]

website is not for gamers

[tired robin]

reddit seems to say its worked before?

[zenith sparrow]

this software?

[tired robin]

https://www.reddit.com/r/ASUS/comments/xomzgi/two_way_ai_noise_cancelation_big_issue/

[empty scroll]

huh this is through a motherboard

[tired robin]

idk, reddit can be a small bubble

i think its through one of their proprietary installation packages with a bunch of other tools, still asus only

im sure their software isnt inherently tied to the hardware

[lean forge]

vietnam?

[zenith sparrow]

yeah it probably isn't

[lean forge]

idk if alot of kids here apply to uiuc

[zenith sparrow]

it comes with their laptop management software

armory crate

[tired robin]

lol

[zenith sparrow]

weird name

tbh

[tired robin]

i havent thought about using an existing dataset of noise to identify and approximate

[empty scroll]

its gamer certified bro

[zenith sparrow]

that's kinda what noise cancellation software in resolve does I think

[tired robin]

tbf theres gotta be something to fill the inaccessible data of simulating microphone pickups in diff places

[zenith sparrow]

You can set it to 'learn' over a sample of audio and isolate the noise

[tired robin]

right

frick i shoulda just stole some api

[zenith sparrow]

well the results are shit tbh

[tired robin]

turned on ur microphone perms

and called it a day

[zenith sparrow]

so you can probably do a better job

it does remove the noise but it also makes you sound like a tech support scammer from a dank room in Mumbai

[empty scroll]

the possible latency on that lol

[zenith sparrow]

lol

[zenith sparrow]

wait wdym?

[tired robin]

my poor intuition is that we take input data, but because that's not the exact audio you hear via ears, i have to fill in some info

how active noise cancellation works at the moment is through ear/headphones that have mics on the shells/cups

[zenith sparrow]

hmm I kind of get what you're saying

[tired robin]

though i remmeber a prof giving a talk about how phones use external mics to perform noise cancellation, so maybe i can just tap into that and make it standalone

the point wasnt to clean ur mic audio, its just to cancel noise as you do other things lol (e.g. listen to music(

[zenith sparrow]

right and then they invert the wave so it cancels right?

[tired robin]

yeah

[zenith sparrow]

Icic

[tired robin]

in theory, but getting the exact wave is hell

everythings approximating

[zenith sparrow]

right

so if you wanted to use AI to fix this, you'd have to somehow have it look at an audio sample captured by a microphone

and then understand what kind of data it may have lost

and fill that in

[empty scroll]

that would change depending on the mic

location

[zenith sparrow]

and for that you'd probably compare the captured audio to the same from a higher quality microphone or something?

[zenith sparrow]

yeah exactly

so it may only work for like

[empty scroll]

too many variables

[zenith sparrow]

stagnant speaker setups

Like in a home theatre

[tired robin]

yes, thats my basic guess

[tired robin]

mhm

[zenith sparrow]

Actually I think Dolby does something like that

It's called adaptive sound or something

[tired robin]

dolby has a lot of spatial audio crap

[zenith sparrow]

yeah

[tired robin]

funny enough, from my brief glance, i think its tied to their video conferencing SDK

so...zoom meetings are panned realistically

...and ppl farther away from you sound...quieter...

wtff dolby

[zenith sparrow]

:o

interesting

https://developer.nvidia.com/blog/nvidia-real-time-noise-suppression-deep-learning/#:~:text=A fundamental paper regarding applying Deep Learning to,leaves human voice intact and deletes extraneous noise.

hey this seems interesting

machine learning is so cool

until you get into the maths behind it and die

[empty scroll]

I remember seeing a bunch of vids on that years ago

what was it called

rtvoice?

rtx voice

krisp is used by discord

[zenith sparrow]

lmaooo

ray tracing enabled

B)

[empty scroll]

yeah the name makes zero sense

[zenith sparrow]

Nvidia just names stuff random fancy things tbh

they named their screenshot program Ansel or something lmao

It literally just takes screenshots

and they named it

[empty scroll]

its like apple

[zenith sparrow]

FR

[wooden vessel]

hallo

[zenith sparrow]

hallo

🇩🇪

[waxen venture]

What is that

i like uiuc alot ngl

its a really nice place

[livid kestrel]

Good luck everyone

[cursive knoll]

Good luck peoplesss

Yes we had it in early too

[glad latch]

we can be bff

[strong fox]

Oh shit it’s UIUC themed

[glad latch]

yeah

[strong fox]

I was like confused it looked like my class discord servers lmao

Also

[glad latch]

gtech comes out tomorrow

so it will change again

[strong fox]

Illinois v Michigan basketball is insane

Tmrw meaning

[glad latch]

do people in college watch sports a lot

cuz i have no interest in watching sports

but i feel that may change

[empty scroll]

Gtech is an L school

[glad latch]

cuz it rejected u

[empty scroll]

Of course

[glad latch]

so is cmu

cmu is L

L

[pure spire]

No!!!!

[empty scroll]

It's a depression school

if u get rejected

u better say it is L

[pure spire]

I’m waiting for an asmr channel to go live on tiktok so I can fall asleep

[glad latch]

wtf

[tired robin]

ping me whenever it drops ig, tho everyone here is getting drunk for unofficial soo

[empty scroll]

Firestar you will regret defending cmu

[glad latch]

just use spotify

[pure spire]

Sometimes I like to fall asleep to asmr… 😵‍💫

Not like the talkign one

[dim flint]

im gonna attend whichever school wins lmao

[tired robin]

I'll also rant about what sucks about uiuc lol

[dim flint]

cuz im deciding bw those 2

for now

[pure spire]

Why

[strong fox]

I didn’t h til I went to the games

[strong fox]

Illinois won

It was one of the best college games

[empty scroll]

Bcs cmu is an L school

[glad latch]

ur spelling is a bit off

[pure spire]

Why

[glad latch]

wdym

[strong fox]

Until*

[tired robin]

omg that game was crazy

[strong fox]

I didn’t follow sports until I came here

[tired robin]

almost third OT

[glad latch]

entertaining?

[strong fox]

And then I realize I fucking hate umich

[dim flint]

OH LOL

[glad latch]

idt soccer is a big thing in college

[dim flint]

i didnt know it alr happened

[glad latch]

sports

[strong fox]

Basketball is entertaining

[glad latch]

right

[strong fox]

Well

[dim flint]

guess uiuc just better

[tired robin]

secretly wished Michigan made that last three so there's more content

[empty scroll]

Lol

[strong fox]

My floor watched World Cup

Chat is moving so fast

[glad latch]

i did not watch at all

idk who even won lol

[strong fox]

Like two OTs wasn’t enough LMAO

[blazing sand]

I am

[blazing sand]

Not getting in

[pure spire]

I did

[glad latch]

who

[tired robin]

let's break some records

might as well

[dim flint]

woww that looks fun

[pure spire]

I won

[tired robin]

it's one thing to win a game, another to be legendary game of OTs

[strong fox]

It was better than the northwestern game

[tired robin]

why do the games gotta be intense when i don't go

[glad latch]

are games free to attend

[strong fox]

What school has free games

No

[glad latch]

price

[tired robin]

most I paid was $25

women's games are free, so are some other sports

krannert tix are $10 or $15

[glad latch]

that feels like a lot

[pure spire]

what if i go to college

[glad latch]

for watching a game

[pure spire]

and i just dont make any friend

[tired robin]

far better than the hundreds for football

[glad latch]

what

football is hundreds to watch

[tired robin]

there's free tickets in our student fan section

[pure spire]

from my understanding u dont make friends in college in classes right bc its just lecture hall and everyone is quiet and u dont talk or anything

so its like first week or flop

[tired robin]

i could be entirely wrong but i think big games for adults is hundreds, def not for students

[pure spire]

ahah ah ah ha haaahaha'

[glad latch]

r u ok

[tired robin]

harder but breaking the ice always accessible

[pure spire]

no

[manic jetty]

you could make friends in dormsss

[pure spire]

true

[tired robin]

first week matters, dorm matters, rso/clubs matter

[glad latch]

best dorm

[pure spire]

is uiuc a party school

[glad latch]

get accepted and i will be ur friend

[pure spire]
