Just depends on costs and which school you like better

dont worry about getting ahead
i know its preaching to a choir on a2c
but just enjoy freshmen year
ease into college
do rsos, make friends, go out
even if some of that isnt your thing its freshmen year
enjoy yourself
you dont need aa 4.0, a 3.8+ looks all the same anyways

But obv a double major in stats or physics is nice
U think pure cs or cs + math/stat is better for quant?
Cuz pure cs you probably get deeper in cs

if you have good foundations
tender matrix

I think both are nice
grainger cs might be better
altho the things is
quant people might see the stats and math
and think its a double major

if you have good foundations
I know most of the stuff I just might need to brush up on it

The ece department won’t let me take 173 or 225 until I complete ece 220

Which I can take earliest 2nd semester

It probably does but ece just requires you to take 220 before doing it

Is is better that they think that

I think at latest april

empty scroll
cuz thats literally the second best choice if u want to go into swe
sure it is but if you are so against the courses in ece I dont get why you would do it
strong fox
I think it’s selfish to do EE if your goal is CE
Cause you’re taking away from someone who wants to be in EE, just do you can transfer to CE cause you couldn’t get into CS
tender matrix
But I mean in his case he is instate
So yea it's cheap and might be the best choice to go
To get the closest to his desired major as well as cheap tuition
Not to mention how many people across a bunch of majors at uiuc are trying to switch into CS + stats
It's common here
Especially instaters
tender matrix
How Cs + econ major? Good?
Yea it's a nice major

and if so, how much did each give
0 from uiuc, i havent gotten umass yet but im guessing its 0

uiuc?

0 from uiuc, i havent gotten umass yet but im guessing its 0
i would pick umass if uiuc is a financial burden to you then
glad latch
well then uiuc
if you need to take out loans for uiuc, i would still recommend umass
umass is strong and i dont think it is worth going in debt for uiuc
tender matrix
umass cs (39k) vs uiuc cs+ econ (62k)
as a uiuc student im biased towards us
if you can pay for it comfortably

uiuc since you said its not a financial burden
tired robin
even with being able to afford, i dunno if id justify 20+K diff (per year)
tired robin
no
strong fox
I think the starting salary would justify potentially
If you play your cards
At the end of the day
Cs
Doesn’t matter too much where you go
tired robin
i get the "youll make the $ back" argument but that ignores temporary financial strain, grad school, salary expectations outside of bigTech+, and value

(i hope)
strong fox
Grad school matters the most
tired robin
i get the "youll make the $ back" argument but that ignores temporary financial ...
otherwise everyone should take a $240K loan and "pay it back with their 200K starting"
if you wanted to gun for the $, umass + job hopping post grad probably will net you similarly

And then parents pay less for tuition, they won’t need to help pay for a house, and I’ll start with a good foot in the door

despite the joke of 20 YOE C++ devs still not mastering C++

i havent touched C++ since last semester
strong fox
I take 220 instead so
tired robin
oo
strong fox
Oh
Yeah C has that too
Do y’all not have true false
Cause true and false just don’t exist
strong fox
Ok
Cause you’re right about under the hood
Cause for C it’s just 1s and 0s
So you would be like int loop = 1;
While (loop)
strong fox
Normal C there’s no other way lol

The multiple carves one
tired robin
what does that mean again
tender matrix
But if it works for large images by itself
tender matrix
what does that mean again
It's gonna cut horizontal and vertical multiple times
Yet my test case for those on slightly smaller files work
It just doesn't work on that one
Ugh
tired robin
so it works on any image size with any number of carves in one direct only
tender matrix
And it's not feasible for me to count a 500 length path for each carve
tired robin
smaller files reduce "entropy" so bug is hidden

ok so to recap precisely
- all examples that only carve in one direction pass
- at least some examples that carve in both directions fail. or is it all (non-trivial) examples?
tender matrix
basically everything is passing but multiple carves on large file
tender matrix
ok so to recap precisely
- all examples that only carve in one direction pass
- ...
my ocean ppm isn't carving right either
so this is my output basically
ignore clang tidy
tired robin
my ocean ppm isn't carving right either
and what directions is that
tender matrix
both
it seems like vertical and horizontal are failing
vertical is more obvious to see though
but the sea level is different in mine and theirs
so that means horizontal also is messing up
tired robin
well if one fails, the other likely will bc image is diff
tender matrix
yea
its definetly stronger vertically
I think
but I've 10-times checked vertical
it looks right
and it passes my tests
which I used random.randint to generate
sigh
tired robin
how did you check
tender matrix
I basically reaffirmed im doing the ties right
vertical middle > left > right
and then I used random number generators to generate ppm files
to test
granted they were small cause thats the only way I can confirm accuracy
tired robin
you handle the edges with care, right? i.e. left col, right col, top row, bottom row
tender matrix
yea
like get energy right
im passing all those test cases
and it all looks right
I assume they test edge cases in their test case for get energy
also im using the same technique I used for mountain paths
just with the new priorities
tired robin
are you using any unsigned numbers
tender matrix
💀
tired robin
at least it looks clean asf
tired robin
instead of doing if statement hell for the energies
tender matrix
im tempted to turn the image 90 degrees
tired robin
I DID THAT
tender matrix
cut it horizontally
tender matrix
bruh 💀
tender matrix
but what if its not vertical's issue 💀
tired robin
judging from the diff, it seems vertical
tender matrix
yea
tired robin
bc that horizon is all colored
tender matrix
hmm
well horizontally there is still a difference for sure
like 2 pixels of differene
from the shoreline
but then again, im cutting 170 times vertically
and 50 times horizontally
so...
tired robin
weird/ingenius (or i think its genius) solution
basically i made a custom weight function for each pixel when tracing the seam, so i almost guarantee not-equal "energy weights" that were informed from which direction they were relative to the previous seam pixel
tender matrix
huh
tired robin
LOL
tender matrix
that uh
yea idk
also searching the cs 128 study server
im defiently not the only one that has this issue
seems quite common
but no one had the answer in the server
and all the forum posts from last year were erased
tired robin
we consider both energies AND directions, so i made an arbitrary "score" that takes into account both and i just pick the least
tender matrix
damn so basically changing the whole problem
tired robin
but i just made it a simple comparison vs if else garbage
and i figured out how to weigh the energy more than the direction, but if the energies are equal, the directions would make the difference in the scores
tired robin
||it's just 10*energy + direction||
tender matrix
to figure that out 💀
tender matrix
||it's just 10*energy + direction||
HM
tired robin
idk how tf i thought of that
tender matrix
im literally gonna take anything tbh
tired robin
honestly
tender matrix
to get rid of this stupid issue
tired robin
a week or two ago i was encoutnering some annoying versioning error in my work code
tender matrix
and it suddently stopped working
even though my logic is right
for some reason I get a memory error
empty scroll
sleeping or going to the bathroom fixes issues like this
tired robin
so i made a new branch and refactored the entire codebase into a proper monorepo
and boom that issue fixed lmao
tender matrix
even though im not going out of bounds
hmmmm
well I suppose...
I could rewrite seam carver....
tired robin
loop go brr
no
but refactoring both cleans code and also helps you walk through it with a lens beyond just read-verifyiing
tender matrix
hmmm
guess i'll rewrite my path code I think...
but idk why my new carving code doesnt work
even though it should
its literally this
and it gives me a memory error
im gonna delete this ltaer
but like
i literally cannot see whats wrong 💀
i blame nowak if I go insane
tired robin
what is seen_pixel
tender matrix
its a boolean
I declare it above the loop
its false
if I see the pixel that should not be in the new array
I set it to true
and then create an off_set for the next line
but it gives me a weird error
and it doesnt pass the test cases
empty scroll
idk how exactly it works but row-1 cant be <0 right
tired robin
lol was just about to say
tender matrix
idk how exactly it works but row-1 cant be <0 right
well it never will be
strong fox
FAIR VIOLATION?>????
tender matrix
cause I have the continue;
tired robin
FAIR VIOLATION?>????
thats fair
tired robin
tech doesnt matter
strong fox
that doesnt matter but
tired robin
but id suggest removing that bc we cant debug easily anyways
tender matrix
yea
strong fox
im not gonna repo0rt it LMAO
tender matrix
idk tho cause im printing out the stuff
empty scroll
I remember with ppms I used to mix up row and col and that wasted atleast 10 hrs
tired robin
ROW IS HEIGHT COLUMN IS WIDTH REPEAT IT BACK TO ME
tired robin
well u know thats not the issue
tender matrix
yea
for that snippet of code row - 1 < 0 is not possible
cause I have the continue;
and also I printed out the area where there is an issue
its all the edge of the the 2d array
the bottom right
but the thing is
my indexes are right
like if the width is 30 and the height is 20
my index is 29 and 19
and it still gives me a memory error
I hate c++
give me back my kotlin days
this is why I can never be compE
empty scroll
same
empty scroll
I prefer python though
tender matrix
memory 💀
strong fox
im not joking though 💀
tender matrix
lol
strong fox
fuck memory
tender matrix
either way I dont like low level stuff
tired robin
i like C++
tender matrix
at this point I think I should rewrite seam carver...
strong fox
HAPPY PI DAY
tired robin
YES
tender matrix
oh yes
strong fox
3.14
tired robin
GET YOUR $3.14 PIZZA FROM BLAZE
tender matrix
🥧
tired robin
(tho i think champaign one doesnt exist OR not participating inthe promo v sad)
tender matrix
GET YOUR $3.14 PIZZA FROM BLAZE
where the closest blaze to campus?
tired robin
but i shall find out
tender matrix
oh fuck
strong fox
blaze closed
tired robin
union and champaign plaza
tender matrix
bruh image being on campus for break 💀
tender matrix
hmm ok I guess I'll got to plaze tmrw
strong fox
all the intls i know went on vacay
tender matrix
all the intls i know went on vacay
everyone but me huh 🤡
tired robin
TOO POOR and i didnt plan with friends:(
strong fox
i miss my friends from campus
tired robin
ughhh id love a vacay
strong fox
im seeing them tmrw
tender matrix
the only saving grace is I have a car
strong fox
im sop happy
tender matrix
😭
strong fox
oof
