All UCs 🐻🐮🐴🐱🐶🔱🤠🐌 (2023-2024)

[teal rivet]

also there’s that one lang developed by mit

Julia?

It’s also alright

I used it

but the real stuff always tend to be tailored towards jupyter notebook and Python

[jade quiver]

There's a lot of programming languages lol

[teal rivet]

Yeah 😂

[jade quiver]

yeah

[teal rivet]

Wait till u get into web dev

I hate web dev so much

[jade quiver]

I've dabbled a bit in there

[teal rivet]

even tho I use it

[jade quiver]

Js is probably the most I know lol

[teal rivet]

The devs always update their libraries every few months

it pisses me off

[jade quiver]

Yeah that gets especially annoying for machine learning

especially when you're trying to deploy a flask app

Because there's always version incompatibility

[teal rivet]

they’re changing the syntax 😭 every few weeks like they’re children

[jade quiver]

and some features get depricated

[teal rivet]

and then u also have to have like 1000 librsries

[jade quiver]

Fr tensorflow always deprecates their features and then I have to downgrade my tf to match some libraries

[teal rivet]

For machine learning my biggest issue is running the data collection like I was tryna use yt ffmpeg to extract audio for my dataset but for some reason the code I found online didn’t work and I spent a few days tryna make my own script to actually extract it turns out the library was changed the day before 😂 so I had to go through the repo and I actually added a thread or wtv it’s called on GitHub telling people about the solution since others had the issue

[teal rivet]

Yeah they change every new version

I don’t update tensorflow

unless necessary

cuz it’ll mess up everyhting

Do u use it vanilla or with anaconda ?

[jade quiver]

Anaconda

[teal rivet]

I’m migrating to it since I used it without it and had to install everything individually and I just didn’t like it

also do u deploy ur models onto google cloud ?

What’s ur opinion on the new vertex ai thing 😭

[jade quiver]

Yeah and a lot of those libraries that scrapes data from websites tend to break because the site might update the directories or whatever

[teal rivet]

There’s like practically 0 documentation and I still feel the old google ai cloud functions where better

[jade quiver]

Yeah anaconda is more compatible with a lot of tf libraries

[teal rivet]

true

I set up a web scraper for covid cases during quarantine which was semi famous 💀

but it was a hassle to maintain

[jade quiver]

I mean I don’t really deploy much of my projects, I never used google cloud before but usually when I deploy a ml project I use render

[teal rivet]

wait I gotta see what that is

Is it this

[jade quiver]

Oh they changed the logo

Yeah

[teal rivet]

Lol

nah for google cloud 😭 it’s atrocious

[jade quiver]

Render gives you free hosting to an extent

[teal rivet]

u used to be able to dockerize it with ease

But the new setup is too clunky

[jade quiver]

Yeah renders pretty easy you just link your GitHub account and you can just deploy a repo

[teal rivet]

Damn that’s like vercel but for cloud computing

😭

[jade quiver]

Google is the king of making unnecessary changes

[teal rivet]

They made it harder to host react sites lol

So people can use angular

[teal rivet]

Well not harder but u just have to lay out ur site in a specific format and store ur data in a way that allows it to be loaded properly

[jade quiver]

Yeah render has a nice ui and the logs are pretty straight forward, you can also input a start command

[teal rivet]

the issue is

a lot of tech companies have their own clunky systems

so while tender is good

Render*

[jade quiver]

Well I think thats universal

[teal rivet]

We’ll have to suffer 😭

[jade quiver]

I mean render isn’t perfect either lol but it’s just the best that worked for me

[teal rivet]

yeah but they can’t read images unless they’re in a specific directory for the sake of it

while vercel can easily do it

[jade quiver]

I feel like you should be able to customize that

[teal rivet]

It just works out the box that’s what I meant

[jade quiver]

True ig

[teal rivet]

Yeah but that’s what I’m saying

Too clunky

that’s why companies like vercel /render emerged

Devs don’t wanna deal with all of that especially if it’s unrelated to their specialisation

[jade quiver]

I think another issue with google and a lot of other software companies is that they heavily depend on libraries that can break often

[teal rivet]

like if ur an ai guy how would u know a lot about docker etc

[jade quiver]

Yeah a lot of dev work from what I’ve heard is trying to patch old deprecated libraries

[jade quiver]

True

I don’t really like web development because im lazy

And im not good at designing the front end lol

[teal rivet]

They make it more complicated for themselves 😭 but that’s what they have to do tbh I don’t think there’s a better way if u don’t organize everything into smaller libraries and tools that let u achieve different things

it’s more organized

But requires more trained individuals

that’s why they companies like Microsoft like to see azure certifications aswell

[jade quiver]

Well it’s more like reinventing the wheel in that case because if the tools already exist why waste resources trying to develop your own version

[teal rivet]

I don’t hate web dev I just hate the number of libraries and stuff u gotta add 😭

And u gotta learn random syntax

there’s a lot of yapping but in coding terms 😭

[jade quiver]

I’m just not creative lol

[teal rivet]

developing their own tools sometimes makes it faster

and more specific

For their use cases

[jade quiver]

Yeah but usually they have to maintain those tools too

[teal rivet]

Bro flutter was such a flop 💀

[jade quiver]

And that is just unnecessary money

[teal rivet]

Tbh it’s not that much compared to what they make lmao

Lol

[jade quiver]

Tbf if they did have a team to maintain their own libraries it would probably help the job market

[teal rivet]

They do 😭

actually Tbf

[jade quiver]

Let’s go less saturated jobs

But nobody wants to do that

Because it’s boring

[teal rivet]

as long as ur not ui/ux web dev stuff

[jade quiver]

People want to work on the exciting stuff lol

[teal rivet]

Ur job is relatively stable at Apple meta and google

especially rn if ur in ai

[jade quiver]

Yeah but working in ai requires a lot of experience

[teal rivet]

Yeah

But ik someone with a madters

who has been working at meta

For 6 years

[jade quiver]

And by the time you have experience your job offers are going to be stable already

[teal rivet]

Tbh anything but Software dev

😂

[jade quiver]

The main issue is just breaking into tech

Fair

[teal rivet]

just don’t do software dev unless ur in the top 1 percent

[jade quiver]

I never cared about working big tech lol

You could still be a swe

[teal rivet]

Yeah

[jade quiver]

But in more unconventional spaces

Like I remember Starbucks is still looking for some

[teal rivet]

Smaller startups are usually more susceptible to funding cuts

And people usually get laid off

[jade quiver]

You don’t have to go work in faang

[jade quiver]

Well startups usually know that you’ll leave

[teal rivet]

Bro Walmart pays good money yeah

[jade quiver]

Because you’re just using them for experience

And even startups are competitive lol

[teal rivet]

Startups waste money on a lot of bullshit 😭

[jade quiver]

I think it depends lol

I guess most startups don’t really work out

But that one dude I think Baxate or whatever his name is

[teal rivet]

Exactly

Look at discord when it first started 😂

and twitch

[jade quiver]

His startup was gonna partner with nvidia now

[teal rivet]

Idek how those twitch devs are still employed

[jade quiver]

Well startups eventually get sold

Twitch got sold lol

[teal rivet]

Every devs dream

Is to get funding from y combinator

[jade quiver]

Minecraft gets sold and now Microsoft takes 3 months to release a new block

[teal rivet]

Yeah

U can see what happened to Twitter lol

[jade quiver]

Well that’s elon lol

[teal rivet]

he fired 80 percent and the platform still works

Tesla is actually hard to break into

[jade quiver]

True the employees were apparently doing Jack shit

[teal rivet]

But relatively stable

But too stressful

[jade quiver]

True

[teal rivet]

Ur usually expected to work overtime

even tho they never say it

[jade quiver]

That’s most faang companies tbh

[teal rivet]

Nah 😂

bro did u see that one girl on TikTok

Making a vid on how she spent a week

Adding a button

To discord

That stuff was funny

[jade quiver]

I’ve heard from ex-Amazon saw’s that there were times they needed to wake up at like 3 am because angry client or something

[teal rivet]

I think she’s still at her job

[jade quiver]

I feel like it’s glorified

Discord I’ve heard isn’t the best environment to work at lol

[teal rivet]

oh Amazon is shit too lmao

[jade quiver]

Because apparently management is toxic

[teal rivet]

Amazon work is rlly hard

they throw u into the deep end

and expect a lot more work

even that one YouTuber

Neetcode

Talked about it

he left Amazon because of that culture

[jade quiver]

I mean if you’re getting paid that much then I highly doubt you’ll just be eating office lunch and playing pool all day

[jade quiver]

Yeah I think that’s who I was talking about

[teal rivet]

oMG cOmE WiTh mE in thE dAy in a LiFe oF a

nah but tbh

[jade quiver]

Personally I think it’s better to start dropshipping and selling a course to 15 year olds trying to escape the matrix

[teal rivet]

It’s kinda true but people still work hard

like I was at Huawei head quarters in my home country

and I should hopefully get an internship this summer

Since I’d be commited to a college

anyway

[jade quiver]

Damn nice

[teal rivet]

the guy basically made me go through the whole place

[jade quiver]

A sophmore in college?

[teal rivet]

U get alot of free food

And stuff

[teal rivet]

Nah

[jade quiver]

Yeah that’s just how corporate works

[teal rivet]

U have a lot of cool workstations 😭 it was kinda cool

[teal rivet]

I’m graduating two years early

[jade quiver]

Ngl nvidia office seems hella nice

[jade quiver]

Ok prodigy

[teal rivet]

Omg Fr

[teal rivet]

😭

Allat still rejected from Caltech 😭 lmao

[jade quiver]

Bros still cracked lol

[teal rivet]

Yeah I’m happy with current choices

Just want a solid us one

Even ucsd would do

[jade quiver]

Ngl any college for cs works

Sjsu cs is pretty good tbh

[teal rivet]

Except the uk

Don’t go to the uk pls

[jade quiver]

You make it sound like ucsd cs is bad 💀

[jade quiver]

Never planned on I

[teal rivet]

No not in that way

UCSD is literally better than LA IMO

but I was saying even if I get rejected from all the others

[jade quiver]

Well according to rankings it apparently is but I don’t really like basing my decisions of rank

[teal rivet]

I’d be happy if I get ucsd tomorrow

[jade quiver]

Same

[teal rivet]

Nah it’s not rank only actually

[jade quiver]

If I get rejected from all my other choices I think I’d just go for sjsu lol

[teal rivet]

The cs program is such a good one

it’s insane

[hasty bridge]

ucsd pleek 🙏

[teal rivet]

Cal poly slo is best value

[jade quiver]

I’d take sjsu cs over any other uc except for the big 3 lol

I don’t have slo

[limpid goblet]

both sjsu and slo lol

[jade quiver]

I think I might get rejected lmao

[limpid goblet]

id go slo over sjsu though

i think

[limpid goblet]

same bruh

my slo gpa is so bad

[teal rivet]

I didn’t apply to sjsu

[jade quiver]

Sjsu internships are cracked

[limpid goblet]

yep

[jade quiver]

You can get internships offered to usually the more prestigious kids

[teal rivet]

Honestly it’s about knowing people who can get ur resume read

after that u just gotta have good interview and problem solving skills

[jade quiver]

Yeah that’s why it’s a good program bc it’s right in the middle of Silicon Valley lol

[teal rivet]

but applying without any referrals

Is impossible

[teal rivet]

Yeah

[jade quiver]

True

Connections can get you very far lmao

[teal rivet]

U can meet up with some google software engineer at a cafe

[jade quiver]

I recently learned that

[jade quiver]

Just go to a local gym

[teal rivet]

Lol 😭

[teal rivet]

Tech bros 😭

[jade quiver]

And you’ll meet a lot of possible connections

Frr

[teal rivet]

guys

I think a2c is the best connection network 😭

[jade quiver]

Like even in my current dead hometown I already met a d1 football player and several real estate people

[teal rivet]

Everyone here is cracked

[teal rivet]

Lmao

Bro makin that cash

[jade quiver]

Honestly any online community works

[teal rivet]

Nah bro ik a lot of communities that are toxic af

[jade quiver]

Discord i think especially for cs is underrated for tech networking

[teal rivet]

lmao especially cs people

[jade quiver]

I once heard a saying

[teal rivet]

Just go to any arduino server

[jade quiver]

“Furries are the backbone of the software engineering community”

[teal rivet]

Or programming language server

U get smoked

[jade quiver]

Join a furry server and I guarantee you that you’ll find 4 senior devs at least

Lol

[teal rivet]

For asking a beginner question which u can’t even find on google

[jade quiver]

That’s stack overflow

[teal rivet]

💀

no way

[teal rivet]

I remember some stackoverflow mod removed half of my question and made it so unreadable and he said the reason was lol beginner

it’s so unmoderated

Well moderated

But with egos

[jade quiver]

Yeah my bad because I don’t know how to build my own circuits from scratch

Should’ve watched a YouTube tutorial

[teal rivet]

I was Ike 12 so I got kinda upset 😂

[teal rivet]

Lmao

[jade quiver]

Nah at 12 I was trying to code on roblox

And didn’t understand a single thing

The whole reason why I started coding was due to roblox lmao

I wanted to make a roblox game but I was dumb

[teal rivet]

I coded on Roblox 😭 at 10 😭 and made such a shit game

“Save pikachu”

[teal rivet]

For me it was cuz of some online flash games

[jade quiver]

I coded my first obby and thought I was a certified developer lmao

[teal rivet]

And I saw they had unity

So I tried downloading it

[teal rivet]

😂

bro a certified Silicon Valley engineer

[jade quiver]

Unity as a first engine is insane

[teal rivet]

Yeah

[jade quiver]

I’m a script kiddie

[teal rivet]

😭

do u remember adobe actionscript

[jade quiver]

Oh yeah

I think my dad made some projects with those

[teal rivet]

Yeah u could make animations with them

and games

[jade quiver]

Yeah he showed me his first website and I was so amazed

[teal rivet]

HTML css is where it’s at 😭

is ur dad a software engineer?

[jade quiver]

Nah he never finished uni

[teal rivet]

Ah nice

My mum had our neighbour come in and teach me cs stuff

[jade quiver]

I think he was an electrician but also had some engineering background

[teal rivet]

And bro taught me the most devious shit

like hacking networks

😭

and using Linux

[jade quiver]

Wtf

Average Linux user

[teal rivet]

And keep in mind I was still a young kid 😭

Tbh I kinda appreciate him tho

cuz I actually know what I’m doing

[jade quiver]

https://tenor.com/view/ninjala-jane-hacker-hacking-computer-gif-20337624

Linux users trying to open a browser:

[teal rivet]

Compared to a lot of kids at my school who still can’t open the command prompt heck even make a file 😭 and are tryna major in cs

[jade quiver]

Bro I know people that are so delusional

They think cs is an easy way to make 6 figures lol

Not a clue in the world

[teal rivet]

Average person: hi
Linux user: Hi dO u knOw I uSe aRch liNuX

[teal rivet]

It’s always the people who watch those tiktoker

[jade quiver]

Linux is a personality trait

[teal rivet]

Who say

U don’t need a degree

Lmao

[jade quiver]

My friend says that but hes struggling in precalc

[jade quiver]

Coding boot camp grads fr

I tried to teach him coding but he said it was too hard

[teal rivet]

They don’t make it most of the time

[jade quiver]

(It was print(“hello world”))

[teal rivet]

I have a kid who basically steals peoples work

And doesn’t wanna learn

[jade quiver]

They used to have a chance

Maybe back in 2020

[teal rivet]

And he wants to get into MIT

And he thinks I’m his biggest enemy

But little did he know

[jade quiver]

Why 💀

[teal rivet]

I was graduating earlier than bro

[teal rivet]

Cuz I actually do stuff honestly and make proper working projects

He just jumps in to clubs at the end of it

And claims work for himself

Copy and pasted code

and enters competitions

etc

He can’t even setup an array in Python

[jade quiver]

Bruh

[jade quiver]

There are no arrays in Python

[teal rivet]

I genuinely try to be nice to him

[jade quiver]

Unless you’re using numpy

Lol

[teal rivet]

Yes

numpy

[jade quiver]

Isn’t it just np.array

[teal rivet]

yeah

[jade quiver]

Damn that’s wild

[teal rivet]

cuz we got to use it for our final project in one of our classes

[jade quiver]

I mean I forget documentation sometimes but

[teal rivet]

lmao

[jade quiver]

What kind of classes does your school even offer lol

[teal rivet]

Nah not that sort of thing

He genuinely doesn’t do shit

[teal rivet]

nah we don’t have fancy ones

We’re a gcse a level school

[jade quiver]

I think the average American cs course only covers basic conditionals/loops

[teal rivet]

Lmao

nah we have more stuff

a lot more stuff in depth

it’s scary

I actually somehow decided to sign up for cs

last year

[jade quiver]

Yeah I wish we taught data structures in our advanced courses

[teal rivet]

Last minute

And I took the exam after revising for 2 weeks

and got an A

But that’s cuz I had background knowledge

I wouldn’t wish that shit on my worst enemy

The markschemes are so ass

[jade quiver]

I didn’t really decide on cs until my jr year because that’s when I started to enjoy coding

[teal rivet]

💀 there aren’t data structures and algorithms ??? 😭

[jade quiver]

There used to be an AP course that covered it

But not anymore lol

[teal rivet]

💀

[jade quiver]

Probably why people struggle in dsa in college

[teal rivet]

AP courses are easier than our curriculum by miles

[jade quiver]

Definitely

[teal rivet]

But Unis don’t equate them properly

[jade quiver]

But credit is credit

[teal rivet]

So we don’t get credit

💀

Except ucsd tho

[jade quiver]

That’s kind of messed up lol

[teal rivet]

W school

They give credits to all my subjects

So I ain’t complaining

[jade quiver]

Nice lol

I wish I could get credit for linear algebra

Since my school doesn’t offer it I’m doing it online

But it’s mainly just for learning

[teal rivet]

For us our maths curriculum is divided into pure and applied modules like stats mechanics and logic

it’s kinda cool

But hard

And lengthy

u can choose 3rd year uni stuff

[jade quiver]

Damn that sounds cool ngl

[jade quiver]

Wtf lol

[teal rivet]

But it’s so difficult

U can’t afford to do silly mistakes

if u do

It’s joever for u

[jade quiver]

What’s the highest math

You’ve taken

[teal rivet]

idk how to equate it to AP lol

[jade quiver]

Just subject wise

[teal rivet]

Like last year I took Fourier transformations Taylor series and Mclaurien series and a bunch of that stuff

It’s not bad tbh

it’s just more about

The questions I get

U get

They’re very analytical

[gloomy igloo]

that would be like Calc III or multivariable calc most likely

[teal rivet]

And that’s first year further maths for us 💀

not even senior year

[gloomy igloo]

[teal rivet]

just junior year 😭

[gloomy igloo]

im taking equivalent to Calc I this senior year damn

[jade quiver]

Fourier transform is like Calc 2

[teal rivet]

Im scared to open further maths 3 tbh

because we didn’t cover it yet

but I’ll see how it’ll go

[jade quiver]

Yeah highest a usual us school goes to is like equivalent to Calc 2

[gloomy igloo]

america education system you're lucky if you get to calculus lmfao

[teal rivet]

I self study it tbh

But I take exams

To get my predicteds and term grades

it’s a bit complex lol

[jade quiver]

Well AP Calc has become a requirement at this point if you want to pursue anything engineering

[teal rivet]

AP Calc is gcse for us

[gloomy igloo]

yeah. True. I guess I’m not too stressed about my math because I’m not pursuing stem

[teal rivet]

Sophomore

[jade quiver]

Yeah calculus is not that bad

[gloomy igloo]

But for econ or business calc is there off

[limber cipher]

bro is shitting on the American education system even though we have the highest job retention and university quality in the world

[teal rivet]

For the uk

u need further maths for Econ

Atleadt for competitive Unis

[jade quiver]

Well I can’t say the average American is exactly the most educated but

[teal rivet]

Lmao 😭

[teal rivet]

Nah the us education system is better than the uk one

I hate the uk one

All u do is study

And don’t have time to explore ur actual passion

[gloomy igloo]

hmmmm. I do hear that from my British friends.

[jade quiver]

Ucr has now sent me the 4th email on congratulating my admissions

[teal rivet]

u don’t even have time for supercurriculars

[limber cipher]

FRR BRO

[teal rivet]

Yeah and it’s so exam based

[limber cipher]

IM NOT GOING THERE

[teal rivet]

If u mess up

[jade quiver]

Yeah the American system prioritizes more creativity, hence the holistic process

[teal rivet]

Ur done for

[limber cipher]

they keep giving money too

[gloomy igloo]

I’ve seen enough British sixth form shows to know 😭😭 rip the Brit’s

[teal rivet]

I was gonna transfer to an American school but then thought why not continue and graduate early with a levels

And now I’m suffering

But I enjoy some of it

Like maths and ohysics

Despite being hard

It’s still fun

[teal rivet]

😭

[jade quiver]

Yeah you’re 100% a stem nerd

[teal rivet]

Us Unis don’t get it at all

[teal rivet]

😂 😭

I genuinely enjoy solving maths problems at late nights 😭

just listen to music

[jade quiver]

tbf US unis aren’t looking for people who live and breathe studying lol

[teal rivet]

That’s exactly the case

[jade quiver]

They’re trying to find leaders who can publicize their name

So theh get more status

[teal rivet]

A lot of kids at my school have 0 extra curriculars

It’s scary

Like not even ones for fun

like sports

[jade quiver]

Damn

Do y’all get sunlight

Ever

[gloomy igloo]

I really didn’t either for “American standards”

[teal rivet]

That’s why I don’t wanna study in the us 💀

[teal rivet]

Thankfully I have a technique to actually learn stuff efficiently

so I don’t like to spend much time

Cuz if I did

I’d be dead inside

[teal rivet]

😭

[jade quiver]

Yeah then it’s probably a good thing you didn’t go to caltech lmao

[teal rivet]

lmao yeah

but I got into a 💀 uk one

Worse than Caltech

[gloomy igloo]

i was almost gonna apply to LSE but i don't think i met the requirments

[teal rivet]

I actually was gonna switch warwixk to lse then decided to switch it to KCL lmao

Warwick too full of themselves

and lse too

[gloomy igloo]

lol i bet

[teal rivet]

https://tenor.com/view/cats-funny-animals-offended-nose-up-pride-gif-10704733

Average LSE student

[gloomy igloo]

im actually going to london in a couple weeks lol

[teal rivet]

Make sure to visit Brixton

such a beautiful place

[gloomy igloo]

oh yeah for sure! it's on my list

[teal rivet]

https://tenor.com/view/nature-gifs-gif-22222427

Average Brixton

Experience

😭

[teal rivet]

I’m making fun of it

[gloomy igloo]

OHHHHH

[teal rivet]

😭

[gloomy igloo]

i thought it was shopping district

[teal rivet]

https://tenor.com/view/sr-welcome-to-brixton-gif-20751660

Lmao

[gloomy igloo]

oh its for chavs?

asdifuafsoi idk

[teal rivet]

Camden

[teal rivet]

Nah tbh it’s fine if

ig

[gloomy igloo]

lol okie

[teal rivet]

it’s just funny

[gloomy igloo]

i want the markte chocolate strawberries

market

[teal rivet]

😂 bro that shit existed since 2014 😭

wasn’t it in Hagen dazs

idk if u guys have it in the us

[gloomy igloo]

yeah i've had hagen dazs in paris. honestly i dont recall ever seeing one in usa

[teal rivet]

Lmao

[gloomy igloo]

its very overpriced

[teal rivet]

That’s probably why Americans were so excited in the comments of the strawberry bud

Vid*

[teal rivet]

Yeah

It is

[gloomy igloo]

haha. ive always loved chocolate strawberries. just so good

[teal rivet]

The ME has some of the best food ngl

Out of a lot of countries I went to

[gloomy igloo]

what is ME?

[teal rivet]

ME is cheap and the standards are higher since there are government inspections all the time

[teal rivet]

Middle East

[gloomy igloo]

oh ok. yeah lmfao. just never seen it abbreviated liek that really

[gloomy igloo]

it really does

[teal rivet]

😂

[teal rivet]

Did u visit?

[gloomy igloo]

never it's on my list

but my family (not me) lived there many years

[teal rivet]

Lol 😭 I also have a list of countries I hope to go to

wait poet

[gloomy igloo]

same.

[teal rivet]

Ur a Seattle resident right

[gloomy igloo]

yeah

[teal rivet]

what’s up with Capitol Hill 😭

[gloomy igloo]

i hate it. my high school is literally in Capitol Hill lmfao

its not a good environment for me

[teal rivet]

I heard it’s unsafe right

[gloomy igloo]

yeah. there are lots of shootings nearby

[teal rivet]

😭

That’s scary

[gloomy igloo]

idk how ive survived 4 years here bruh

[teal rivet]

Did it go down hill ever since the mayor took away police

For a few years

After the incident

idk if I’m allowed to say it

[gloomy igloo]

i never ever went to capitol hill until high school. so idk tbh. most likely

yeah it did

[teal rivet]

My uncle used to have his company in Seattle

Then he moved away

To Florida 😭

he said it changed a lot 💀

[gloomy igloo]

florida is like the bipolar opposite lmao

[teal rivet]

Fr 💀

[hollow beacon]

hi yappers

[teal rivet]

But apparently those shootings u talk about in xapitol hill are mainly between people who are involved in their own groups

Like as long as u don’t mess with them

I doubt they’ll do much

but then again

There are edge cases

[hollow beacon]

dont worry im carrying

cant get capped by an opp

[teal rivet]

Especially when their mental health is deeply compromised

[teal rivet]

Lmao I don’t think police cops can even do anything in Capitol Hill

Or just ignore it

[hollow beacon]

they cant do nun

[teal rivet]

Because of what it become

[hollow beacon]

oh we talking about washington

[teal rivet]

Bud think he hood

[hollow beacon]

i am

[teal rivet]

Yeah lad

[hollow beacon]

opps never catch me lacking

[teal rivet]

Bro knows the ends

[hollow beacon]

i do

[teal rivet]

bro has no enemies

[hollow beacon]

always stay strapped

[teal rivet]

btw I changed my name to urs

[hollow beacon]

you never know when you might catch a stray bullet

[teal rivet]

Then got it changed by Chloe

remember me

[hollow beacon]

imgettingtherope?

[teal rivet]

average New Orleans experience

[hollow beacon]

fr

[teal rivet]

Huh

Idk

[teal rivet]

New Orleans is so crazy

Why does that place exist

[soft cargo]

When does UCLA and UCSD come out?

[teal rivet]

Tomorrow hopefully

[soft cargo]

What time tomorrow?

[hollow beacon]

what username

[hollow beacon]

who tf knows

[teal rivet]

I changed my username to ur . Thing

[hollow beacon]

oh

[soft cargo]

Could just say no clue?.

[hollow beacon]

no

i cant

[teal rivet]

Lmao he’s a yapper

[hollow beacon]

im sorry

[soft cargo]

I can tell

[teal rivet]

Eagle ngl ur name reminded me of Eagle PCB design software

😭

[soft cargo]

Bruh

I was going for a different Eagle..

[teal rivet]

😭

[hollow beacon]

is ucla even tmrw

isnt it like 28

[teal rivet]

Could he

Be*

[soft cargo]

Thats UCB

[hollow beacon]

i think only ucsd will be tmrw

la prolly later

like with sb

[teal rivet]

Maybe but th ye might pull an Irvine

[hollow beacon]

is irvine good

[teal rivet]

Nah did u get what I mean

Like last time

[hollow beacon]

wym

[teal rivet]

Ppl thought it was Davis

Then last second

[hollow beacon]

no ik

[teal rivet]

Irvine was suspected to release

[hollow beacon]

im just asking

[teal rivet]

And it did

[hollow beacon]

is irvine good for cs

[hushed terrace]

yes

[teal rivet]

so it could happen tomorrow with LA

[teal rivet]

Yeah

[hollow beacon]

better than umd?

[hushed terrace]

are you instate at either

[hollow beacon]

no

getting scammed at both

so it dont matter

[teal rivet]

UMD is good but if they’re the same price Irvine lol

[hollow beacon]

i thought umd was higher ranked

[hollow beacon]

about 17k more per year

for irvine

[nova bridge]

ranks aren’t everything

[upper mango]

how much is irvine btw

[teal rivet]

Ngl I think UCI is still well respected especially in Cali but it won’t make much of a diff if u go to UMD

[hollow beacon]

77k oos

[teal rivet]

Rankings are normally skewed by other factors

[hollow beacon]

so whats ur criteria

[hushed terrace]

umd is ranked higher for cs, uci is ranked higher overall so it just depends on what you prefer

[teal rivet]

Like grad research

aid

Etc

[hushed terrace]

also umd and uci are on completely different coasts so try to see which location you like more

[teal rivet]

Honestly saving that 17k is good

[hollow beacon]

true

[teal rivet]

imo

[hollow beacon]

true

umd is 60k coa uci is 77k coa

[teal rivet]

but if cost ain’t an issue it depends on other factors

Also Irvine ain’t bad if u get internships in LA

[hollow beacon]

i think for me only ucsd and la are worth 77k

imo

[teal rivet]

Yeah same

and berk

but honestly location wise

[hollow beacon]

im not getting berk anyway i aint even apply

[teal rivet]

And safety wise

SD

[hollow beacon]

did u get davis and irvine

[teal rivet]

Davis rejected from Irvine

And u wanna know something funnier

[hollow beacon]

what

[teal rivet]

Let me dm u

[nova bridge]

major

[hollow beacon]

CS

[high pilot]

is euclid recognized in usa?

[teal rivet]

Yeah ofcourse

[high pilot]

like around what level

[balmy laurel]

uci is 77k for u?

i used calculator and got 62k as my estimate

[hollow beacon]

are you oos

[balmy laurel]

yes

ig thats with 5k loans? idk so 67k prob

[teal rivet]

It’s quite respected

like UKMT senior maths challenge gold award

it’s ok

But not too crazy

It’s good tho

[high pilot]

comparable to usamo if you get high score?

[teal rivet]

yeah

Basically

[teal rivet]

I think Euclid highest level is distinction

But there’s also a list of top candidates

And if u make it

[balmy laurel]

@teal rivet whats a good path to pick up (frontend/backend/embedded/etc..)

[teal rivet]

It’s good

[balmy laurel]

i feel like everything is so saturated

[teal rivet]

I haven’t specialized but I can’t recommend u anything without telling u to try everything first or dabble into them

AI looks promising now

[random saffron]

whatever you're good at

[teal rivet]

but it might change

[random saffron]

all require diff skillsets

[balmy laurel]

i see

how would i dabble in them tho

[teal rivet]

at his age tho he should try out multiple stuff

[random saffron]

true

[teal rivet]

Projects

[balmy laurel]

i feel like it will take a while just to learn the basics of each

[teal rivet]

that’s the best thing

[random saffron]

ai is goated but only if you're willing to go to grad school

[balmy laurel]

yeah all the ai stuff requires a masters

[random saffron]

i wanted to do ai but idk if i have the stamina to keep doing school after my undergrad lol

[teal rivet]

It’s cool for u to start working on some and u get to try different stuff like I tried app dev and didn’t like it so went to web dev and didn’t like it either but still am fluent in it cuz I use it in my current projects but what I fell in love with was deep learning and also electrical engineering kinda like making PCBs etc and I made a few projects mixing both together

[slim aurora]

CEMC Euclid?

[teal rivet]

the one by Waterloo

[slim aurora]

Yeh

[undone tendon]

nah thats calc bc

[teal rivet]

yeah

[slim aurora]

I gave it last year

[teal rivet]

Also the senior maths challenge for Canadians

[slim aurora]

I was given distinction and honor roll

there are also a couple of other ones

[balmy laurel]

ahh how long did it take for you to try out each thing? i did some arduino and pcb stuff for my solar car team and i found it pretty fun

[slim aurora]

CEMC Hypatia

[hollow beacon]

start off with frontend

[slim aurora]

And CEMC Fermat

[hollow beacon]

altho you need to learn alot for frontend and backend web dev

[teal rivet]

I think the one that makes or breaks ur app for the really really top ones is getting onto the Waterloo website as one of the top candidates

[hollow beacon]

more input less output in web dev

[teal rivet]

Those are less useful

[slim aurora]

Yep

[teal rivet]

They matter for Waterloo tho

[slim aurora]

They don’t provide scholarship

Euclid does

at Waterloo

[high pilot]

you mean hr

[slim aurora]

I didn’t apply to Waterloo though, I just gave it for fun 💀

[teal rivet]

I have been doing it for like years 😭 but AI id say 1.5 years but EE stuff 3

[teal rivet]

idk I think honor roll is for top of ur school or sm I wrong

[turbid ermine]

Commit to Davis we have llamas before finals week

[high pilot]

no thats school medal

[hollow beacon]

c# is a goated language

[high pilot]

hr is like top 1-2% usually

[teal rivet]

Then yes honor roll makes a big difference

u should get a big scholarship from Waterloo

If u apply

[high pilot]

altho its not rly comparable to american contests in terms of difficulty: https://artofproblemsolving.com/wiki/index.php/AoPS_Wiki:Competition_ratings#Intermediate_Competitions

[teal rivet]

Yeah cuz Canadian highschool math isn’t as hard as AP tests

So they gotta make it easier

[teal rivet]

😭

that’s so cool

[hollow beacon]

lightwork

[turbid ermine]

I got a selfie with it

And pet it

Well one of them

[high pilot]

try it

[hollow beacon]

bet

[teal rivet]

aw 😭

[slim aurora]

The competition comes from getting honor roll placement

which is very competitive

[teal rivet]

This series saved my ass while preparing for the MAT

[slim aurora]

you went a bit too far bro, USAMO is on another level

[teal rivet]

I think it’s usually two hard questions that require additional knowledge and those make or break ur rankings

[upper mango]

ok thats just personal..

[slim aurora]

Euclid is not an Olympiad, just a contest

[teal rivet]

But like if ur up to date with maths stuff on YouTube it’s a piece of cake

[slim aurora]

Unlike the USAMO which is a precursor to the IMO and math Olympiad camp

[teal rivet]

Yeah

[high pilot]

yea thats why its around the same difficulty as aime

[teal rivet]

There’s a Canadian senior maths challenge

[radiant tendon]

so ucsd fs coming out tmr?

[teal rivet]

I think that’s the first qualifying round

[high pilot]

no, comc is

[teal rivet]

Not fs but likely

[slim aurora]

Tbh, I found Euclid easier than AIME

[teal rivet]

Ofc it is

[hollow beacon]

the log one is 6

[slim aurora]

Yeh if only my cumulative score was enough for USAMO 😭

[high pilot]

it has wider range of problems

so theres more easy ones

[teal rivet]

Didn’t hear about usamo or usaco lol till a few months ago actually

I knew about it slightly from the art of problem solving tho

[slim aurora]

I never tried usaco

[teal rivet]

but I’m more in the uk curriculum

So we have the kangaroo challenge and that stuff

[slim aurora]

I did give the F = ma exam though

[teal rivet]

which qualifies u for the IMO

uk team

But I’m not a uk citizen

So didn’t qualify for shit

[slim aurora]

Doesn’t the UK have the UKMT?

[teal rivet]

what even is that 😭

[slim aurora]

It’s the precursor to USAPhO

[teal rivet]

Yeah the UKMT makes the kangaroo challenge if u get high on the senior maths challenge

[teal rivet]

Ah nice

[slim aurora]

I see

[teal rivet]

We have the British Physics Olympiad

and chem one

there’s also a Cambridge challenge idk what it’s called

But I did some practice papers from it

idk

[slim aurora]

I remember going through the NBPhO questions

Nordic Baltic physics Olympiad

Shits insane

[teal rivet]

I like to go through different questions so I actually get the topic and not just trick myself into knowing it when I can’t apply it to different scenarios

[teal rivet]

💀

bruh the ME teams for IMO are so shit lmao

Cuz a lot of nepotism goes on

They make it so hard to sign up

it’s crazy

[rustic agate]

kek

[teal rivet]

I think they removed any teams here lmao in Qatar

Cuz the citizens weren’t good at all

and they’d return empty handed

Normally not even 1 mark

the uae kinda smarter tho and they allow residents too so Indians/Iranians/Egyptians etc compete under the name of their country

And they’re doing pretty good

[fiery linden]

Bro in our country if u pay 50k (around 500 dollars) they will add u on to the imo team representing the country

U don’t even have to be good at math 😭

[teal rivet]

😂 same with Egypt

People are so corrupt

[fiery linden]

Honestly but I do kinda wish I payed 😭💀

Application would look much nicer

[teal rivet]

nah 💀

[teal rivet]

Ik a guy who paid lmao

For Pakistani team

😂

Got into berk and Yale etc

[fiery linden]

😭

[teal rivet]

He didn’t even compete

[fiery linden]

Damn

[teal rivet]

Just “qualified”

Cough

[high pilot]

what if he paid them too

considering he has the money

[teal rivet]

He did

he wasn’t even good at maths

[hollow beacon]

this should be 342 if im not wrong

[teal rivet]

like 6 IB

And bro doing Olympiads ????

[hollow beacon]

this shi easy no offense

someone said its hard

[teal rivet]

Oxford interview question ahh setup but ours are actually more interesting

[hollow beacon]

this just sequence and series

[teal rivet]

bro Fr summation 💀

[hollow beacon]

fr bro

[teal rivet]

😭

[hollow beacon]

you get (10-1) and split the 10s and finite gp

[teal rivet]

😂

do ppl think this is difficult tho 💀

who said this was hard

[hollow beacon]

some dude

scroll up

[teal rivet]

Bruh

not tryna embarrass them

it’s just

[acoustic ibex]

I feel clowned

[teal rivet]

American education system

[hollow beacon]

cooked

[acoustic ibex]

I’d have zero clue how to solve that LOL

[high pilot]

whats this

[acoustic ibex]

Real

[random saffron]

username does not check out

[hollow beacon]

basic sequence and series

[teal rivet]

It’s literally just a formula

[acoustic ibex]

Indeed it does not

[hollow beacon]

its just finite gp

[acoustic ibex]

Oh wait

[teal rivet]

Fr it’s like printing hello world 😭 and calling ur self a software engineer

[random saffron]

💀

[hollow beacon]

this look easy too

just log properties

[acoustic ibex]

I think I learned that over covid and then it disappeared from my brain

[jade quiver]

I used to inspect element my robux and called myself a hacker

[random saffron]

same

[high pilot]

wheres it from

[acoustic ibex]

Yeah that looks like algebra 2

[teal rivet]

That’s gcse stuff for us and that’s the uk system not even the Indian/ Asian country curricula 😭

[hollow beacon]

idk someone sent this

in chat

[teal rivet]

Same

[jade quiver]

i made a fortnite representation of a neural network, does this seem accurate

[hollow beacon]

now geometry

fuck that shit

[high pilot]

damn thought it was euclid

was happy for a sec

[hollow beacon]

who genuinely enjoys geometry

[jade quiver]

they better give me pictures

[acoustic ibex]

Looks legit

[hollow beacon]

💀

[teal rivet]

The transfer function being a gaming chair 😭

[jade quiver]

that was supposed to be the bias

[teal rivet]

Ong

I know that one shit geometry question from the IMO

That 3b1b talked about

[acoustic ibex]

American system is nice in one thing: we basically skip geometry

[hollow beacon]

i hate geometry

[jade quiver]

true

[hollow beacon]

lucky

[jade quiver]

I skipped that

[hollow beacon]

its stupid anyway

[jade quiver]

I took it in 7th technically

[teal rivet]

Not even Terence Tao solved it

[acoustic ibex]

Completely unnecessary 😭

[kind jay]

I didn’t skip geometry😭

[hollow beacon]

fr

[kind jay]

It was mandated

[hollow beacon]

theres no logic just stupidity

[teal rivet]

We have to live with that shitty thing here in the uk

[acoustic ibex]

I didn’t skip it but I did not study for that class and got a 97

[teal rivet]

e even get 3d lamina bs

[jade quiver]

The only thing annoying about geometry imo is the proofs/theroems

[acoustic ibex]

Shows how easy it was

[hollow beacon]

its not even hard its just annoying

[kind jay]

real took that shit 5 years ago I don’t remember anything but trig

[acoustic ibex]

Those things should not exist

[teal rivet]

Gabriel’s horn was asked in my Oxford interview

[acoustic ibex]

Fr

[teal rivet]

They thought I wouldn’t know like one of the most known things in maths 😭

[hollow beacon]

are you a sophomore

[teal rivet]

I integrated that shit asap

[hollow beacon]

how tf is u a sophomore

[teal rivet]

Yeah I’m graduating two years early

[hollow beacon]

wild

[teal rivet]

doing a levels

yes

[hollow beacon]

college at 15

[teal rivet]

16

[acoustic ibex]

Screw that

[hollow beacon]

smart ass mf

im cooked

[teal rivet]

😭

[acoustic ibex]

Same

[teal rivet]

Caltech rejected me Fr 💀

[acoustic ibex]

I look like my iq is below 75 compared to this guy

[jade quiver]

Caltech isn't worth it

[hollow beacon]

you got into oxford you chilling

[teal rivet]

Yes but the thing is I never get the us system it’s so unpredictable

[jade quiver]

Fr caltech is the school that went on a 100 game losing streak for basketball

[teal rivet]

u can have geniunely bad mathematicians

That get into Princeton

[lost heart]

LOL

[acoustic ibex]

Oh for colleges

[jade quiver]

Yeah that's where the anxiousness of the process comes from

[acoustic ibex]

100% a lottery

[teal rivet]

and the rlly good ones don’t get into good Unis

[teal rivet]

SAT is bs especially the digital one lmao

[jade quiver]

The fact that you could work all 4 years and get disappointed

[acoustic ibex]

100% lol

[hollow beacon]

someone try solving this with P&c

[acoustic ibex]

I got a 1540 and I already know I’m going to some college with 80% acceptance

[teal rivet]

It’s not even academics based it’s more “holistic”

[hollow beacon]

💀

[teal rivet]

Which makes it so much worse

[hollow beacon]

true hypocritical asf

[teal rivet]

Also u guys gotta have a standardized test

For all ur subjects

[acoustic ibex]

It’s so dumb

[teal rivet]

this sat thing is a joke lmao

[acoustic ibex]

I focused on grades and now I’m suffering for it

[jade quiver]

reminds me of math olympiad

[acoustic ibex]

4.66 gpa ain’t getting me anywhere

[teal rivet]

maths and English that doesn’t even go beyond algebra 1 and just some slight algebra 2 is a joke

And is not a metric for admission

but I understand the wealth disparity

[kind jay]

Colleges are looking for people to generate brand value lmao

[teal rivet]

but that’s why contextual offers exist 💀

[kind jay]

It’s a business

[acoustic ibex]

I think that’s all that colleges expect now

[hollow beacon]

bros tryna flex

with a 4.66 and a 1540

[jade quiver]

well there's some contraversy surrounding the origin of "holistic" admissions but not getting into that lol

[acoustic ibex]

I’m dead serious I’m not getting in anywhere good

[teal rivet]

💀

[jade quiver]

yeah bro i have a 1680 sat and a 6.0 gpa

[teal rivet]

Bro also what’s up with us schools where everyone gets like As

[hollow beacon]

broken ass grading system

[teal rivet]

Like I think 50 percent of a class can get an A at this point 💀

[jade quiver]

grade inflation

[kind jay]

It’s up to each school

[acoustic ibex]

Gotta love that system for forcing you to take all honors/ap

[teal rivet]

Just so parents can be happy of their children 😭

[kind jay]

Colleges know that when they see rank and school report

[jade quiver]

colleges don't care about rank usually
