Purdue University (2023-2024)

[sharp verge]

EE is brick

... I think

cause the inside walls are also brick

[sour ferry]

are you a freshman..?

or sophomore

[dim marsh]

looks like he graduated

[sour ferry]

what the heck

[unique mesa]

i thought its actual brick

im pretty suere like the gym and all of the dorms are made of bricket

brick

cuz paint would wash off

idrk

[dim marsh]

Hopefully

[sharp verge]

it's in my rolesss

[sour ferry]

so you graduated??

didn’t expect a college grad to be on this server mb 😭😭

[sharp verge]

wow...

[neat field]

[hoary spear]

Hello! Was wondering if anyone could give me some advice between UW-Madison for CS and Purdue + Honors College for CS

[mint mural]

@blazing swan @viscid tulip @gusty ivy @zenith pagoda @undone geode @half haven @broken tree
I'm pinging you guys because you asked about a Purdue admitted 2028 server. (dm for link)

[lost fractal]

@fervent scaffold sorry to ping, but did your friend who didn't have their decision get it? my friend still hasn't ☹️

[deft cargo]

is AI part of the 1% :)

[old kettle]

guys purdue econ vs tamu econ vs penn state econ (also posted on school x vs y but didnt get much replies)

[half haven]

Already got the link. Thanks tho

[solar sapphire]

if anyone wants the purdue cs memers discord invite lemme know

[solar sapphire]

which one u in state for

[wet barn]

i used to love purdues campus but i visited uiuc yesterday and i can’t stop finding faults now 😭

[solar sapphire]

purdue campus is okay i feel like

it's big enough

and at least we have tsaocaa

[wet barn]

so real

[old kettle]

none

[solar sapphire]

have u gone to fiesta before

that shit is elite

greyhouse mid af tho im ngl

[wet barn]

yeah i went during spring break, so nice

[wet barn]

vienna supremacy

[solar sapphire]

vienna okay too

[wet barn]

i spent all of spring break in vienna

[solar sapphire]

lowkey i feel like both are kinda mid for their coffee

[old kettle]

(california screwed me over like no ucs)

[solar sapphire]

vibe wise i like greyhouse better

the coffee at vienna is marginally better

the espresso at greyhouse is terrible

idk how they always make it taste underextracted and overextracted at the same time 💀

same with the cortado and any not milk drowned drink

[wet barn]

i’ve heard so many good things about indie coffee roasters near the airport but i’ve never seen it open

[solar sapphire]

im actually so glad im going to new york cuz i can actually get good shit for coffee now

purdue has nothing good near it

in tertms of coffee

[old kettle]

im dead then

[solar sapphire]

what happened

actually sevenbrew is decent

i think

[wet barn]

i’m an econ major if you have any specific questions

[solar sapphire]

but that's not in purdue

[wet barn]

it’s one of my three majors tbf but might be able to help

[old kettle]

well i didnt get into purdue for my major so

is it easy to switch?

[wet barn]

what major did you get in for

[solar sapphire]

what major did u want

too

it's really hard to switch i feel like

[old kettle]

law and society

[old kettle]

econ

[solar sapphire]

idk tbh u would have to talk to an advisor

[wet barn]

hmm, should be fine. only issue is you’ll need to take some business school requirements before switching to econ that econ majors don’t take

[solar sapphire]

i know a teacher that transferred from engineering to education and he said he almost didnt make it cuz it was that strict

[old kettle]

dont u have to commit for that

[solar sapphire]

idk

[wet barn]

so like 2-3 extra classes

[old kettle]

fine by me

[solar sapphire]

i can ask an advisor rn if u want lol

lemme figure out how that shit works

[trail rapids]

why do you say that? im currently considering uiuc and purdue

[wet barn]

the campus just seemed livelier than purdue’s with a lot more stuff to do

it’s not accurate though because yesterday was probably the best day to visit uiuc: sunny, weekend, game day so everyone was out anyways

also it’s probably not that deep and i’ve just gotten used to purdue so it doesn’t seem that special anymore

[old kettle]

i would lwk go to uiuc but got rejected so

[half haven]

Rejected from the UCs I applied to as well

Choosing between Purdue and A&M

[old kettle]

im assuming ur cs or engineer

[deft cargo]

ikr

[opaque spear]

a purdue '28 servers been made btw

about time lol

[old kettle]

purdue is not worth if i cant switch majors

[opaque spear]

what major are you trying to switch into

[old kettle]

econ

[half haven]

👀 aerospace engineering

[old kettle]

expected

[quartz knot]

literally me rn for mech engineering

[quartz knot]

@solar sapphire

u can talk to an advisor rn?

[old kettle]

i thought u had to commit

atp is there anyone in purdue thats not cs or engineering

[opaque spear]

yeah look at the purdue'28 insta

[old kettle]

oh yeah science is tough too

45% acceptance rate

[quartz knot]

im still waiting for my change of location request

i submitted one 11 weeks ago

and they said 6-8 weeks

which then changed to end of march

and its the 31st

and nothing

[old kettle]

u got into another campus?

[half haven]

Prob Indianapolis

[old kettle]

ah

[quartz knot]

yea i would've much rather been deffered instead of placed in indy

[small beacon]

rip iupui

[solar sapphire]

I technically committed four years ago

[quartz knot]

idk why i said id be interested

if i dont get purdue then im 100% going tamu

[old kettle]

its great for engineering

[quartz knot]

i know man, i toured both of them\

if i get into purdue i get rewarded with wingstop

so i really want this decision to come back lmfao

[old kettle]

if only i got into the main campus of tamu

[quartz knot]

well purdue is amazing too

[old kettle]

didnt get into main major for purdue too

so

[opaque spear]

damn it takes 6 weeks to review appeals?

[quartz knot]

oh im sorry

[quartz knot]

yea

its been 11 for me lmao

and im still waiting

[old kettle]

if it is possible to switch major at purdue, im committing to purdue

[deft cargo]

which majors

[old kettle]

from law and society to econ

[deft cargo]

oh nice

idk about those majors, u shud email an advisor

theyd prob know best

[old kettle]

tried that

they havent replied

[half haven]

Dang wonder how

I got TAMU and Purdue main campus? 🤓🌚

[boreal linden]

I would say penn state econ cause business is one of penn states main things

Business is probably their most competitive school

[old kettle]

i thought engineering was

[boreal linden]

Engineering and business are probably top 2 most competitive

Out of the 3 schools you mentioned, I hear people talk about business more often when they talk about penn state

Purdue and tamu people talk about engineering more

[fervent scaffold]

no they didn't😭😭😭

[lost fractal]

OK MINE HASN'T EITHER

im acc so baffled

why have they not released 😭

my guess is my friend got waitlisted? and they just took so long to decide that they didn't even post it

but like 💀 it's almost april 1st

be fr

[languid widget]

LMAO ??

purdue?

[lost fractal]

YEAH

wtf they doing 💀

[languid widget]

BRO LMAO

nah u gotta email admissions at that point

[lost fractal]

i deadass called them LMFAO

[languid widget]

LMAO what they even say

[lost fractal]

theyre closed at 10:30 pm unfortunately 💔

forgot

about

[languid widget]

LMAOOO

[lost fractal]

business hours

but

like 😭 cmon

out by march 31st means out by march 31s

[languid widget]

bro they forgot about the whole decision LMAO

[lost fractal]

yeah i guess 💀

it's fine my friend is going to UNC so it doesn't really matter but like

she still wants to know 😭

and also like how did they fuck up that badly???

[languid widget]

right idk how tghey do that lmao

yeah unc better regardless prob but lmao thats so funny

[fervent scaffold]

LMFAO

It's April 1st here lol

[lost fractal]

yeah gn 💀 wtf r they doing

[fervent scaffold]

Yeah my friend with umich

He doesn't even want the school he just wants to be over with decisions

[lost fractal]

rigt

right

[fervent scaffold]

btw girlfailure

you're a journalism kid right

[lost fractal]

uhhhh

ermmm

[lost fractal]

i am in spirit!

rn im thinking information science with a minor in law politics society and a focus on AI ethics...

which is in the same vein?? as what i wanted to do with journalism

just a little more involved and a much higher salary ahhahaha

[languid widget]

LMAo real ngl

[fervent scaffold]

OOOOOOOOOOH OKAY

that sounds so cool

is that all at umich damn

[lost fractal]

THANK YOUUUU

yeahhhh

well the focus on AI ethics isn't umich specifici

[languid widget]

we gonna need ai ethics regardless or else

we might be cooked

[lost fractal]

but it'll be like what i focus on for projects and courses and stuff

yeah exactly

i mean there's alr that whole thing that happened with T Swift and AI pics and then there's tons of like

small artists whoget scrweed over

[languid widget]

oh yeah i remember that

[lost fractal]

yeah

[languid widget]

ai art

[lost fractal]

big yikes

[languid widget]

🤮

[lost fractal]

need regulation

[languid widget]

fr

[lost fractal]

and that new video generation software too is kinda crazy

[languid widget]

yeah a bit scary fs

[lost fractal]

i do like that umich embraces AI instead of pushing it away like a lot of other schools do, though. their honors essay prompt asks u to "generate an essay with an AI generative tool that describes how the LSA honors program will fit you and your preferences for a michigan learning community" (1000 words not including the generation! kinda killing me rn)

and they have their own umich AI software that i'll get once I officially enroll and stuff idk it's pretty cool, definitely agood look into like the better side of how we can work in tandem with AI

• in the purdue chat

[languid widget]

W essay prompt imo tho

[lost fractal]

no fr

it's so good

[dim marsh]

check, wont visit any other campuses lmao

[wet barn]

probably for the best bro i'm scared to go anywhere else now 💀

[deft cargo]

wait is purdue campus that bad lmao

[wet barn]

no

[wet barn]

^

[deft cargo]

ah

thank god

thx tho lmao

[fervent scaffold]

that's so cool???

i also wanna do copyright law with a focus on AI lol

[fervent scaffold]

omfg i love that

[deft cargo]

ur gonna be my enemy smh

[fervent scaffold]

💀💀💀💀

[lost fractal]

omggggg

incoming coworkers

[fervent scaffold]

YES

[lucid falcon]

yall what do you wear to the purdue boilermaker bound thing

[broken tree]

wondering the same thing lol

[lucid falcon]

Y'all this is weird

I showed up in a coat

There is only one parent with a coat. That's it.

Every kid is wearing like fucking tshirt and pyjama/jeans

[lost fractal]

💀

maybe they thought it'd be too hot

cause it's a boilermaker

[lucid falcon]

There are like 15 total kids and about 500 parents like the fuck

India, Gurugram round btw*

[lost fractal]

damn 😭

[spark wind]

Bruh

[wet barn]

i showed up in a suit last year 💀

[lucid falcon]

Ye same this was a mistake

My fellow Indians planning to go, please just wake up and come whatever you slept in, you'll be fine

[spark wind]

This generation has no drip

[lucid falcon]

Real

[quartz knot]

Has anyone not gotten their decision yet?

[lost fractal]

my friend and smrithis friend

[muted socket]

Are there any current purdue students majoring in cs ds or AI that i could message - need some guidance about picking where to commit between 2 options

[lucid falcon]

or you could just #954425230896545792

[lethal ore]

Is Purdue data science easier to get into than cs

[unique tapir]

i believe so

[unique tapir]

i like campus

[half haven]

purdue campus is nice

[dim marsh]

Lmao I am going to the Ahmedabad one on 3rd

[lucid falcon]

have fun. it was boring as hell.

its all the clerical stuff like "can I double major" yes you can "can I work" only on campus

nothing that isnt already on google

[dim marsh]

Ah I am just going to socialise, I have no questions

[lucid falcon]

you say "going to socialize" as if thats a thing in india 💀

by the time I arrived everyone was sitting w their parents and shi aint even meeting eyes

[broken tree]

the event in my city is on friday and there's gonna be an "alumni and friends dinner reception" until 10 in the night after the presentation lmaoo

free food at a 5 star hotel

[lucid falcon]

yea sure. they had walnut biscuits and vanilla brownie or something, and spring rolls

[livid fiber]

insane, which city?

[deft cargo]

purdue about to april fools me with a major change decision today 🤞

[undone merlin]

yea by a lot i’m pretty sure

[lethal ore]

What about ai

[urban sierra]

Same thing

[deft cargo]

yea no doubt easier

[wet barn]

slightly easier. ai is significantly easier but still competitive

[opaque spear]

im pretty sure they review appeals AFTER RD

so you'll probably get it sometime soon

since RD is over

same thing happened with me with uiuc

[opaque spear]

data science and ai are slightly easier to get into than cs

i wouldn't say a lot imo

maybe ai because its a new major but prob not data science

[unique mesa]

no its way easier

ik people who get into data science

so many

but not that many get into CS

[bronze dew]

how do college of science foreign language AP credits work? do you just get the credits for a 3/4/5 or do you have to do a test too

[unique tapir]

from my understanding, you would just get the credits. if you go in without the credits then you would do a placement test if you decide to meet the requirement via actually doing a language.

personally, im doing a different pathway, where i just take 2 classes from a list + a JEDI course because I noticed one of my AP classes hit a credit there

[bronze dew]

tysm!!

[unique tapir]

yep! and college of sci req for language is 2 years + jedi course sooooo i think a 3 is sufficient bc iirc a 3 gives credit for 1 + 2

[bronze dew]

it says I get credit for 101 & 102, so that means I just take 1 jedi course right?

[unique tapir]

yep! and lots of options for jedi course, some are stupid easy too.

i took pol235 online which was a free class, i had no interest in it but i finished the class in a week and then didnt have to worry about it for the rest of the semester.

https://catalog.purdue.edu/preview_program.php?catoid=16&poid=25927

that list is helpful i think, everything with the ^ counts as a JEDI course

personally im taking biomedical ethics next semester which doesnt count as JEDI but will help me fulfil my two courses so im quite excited

[bronze dew]

oh wow

when you say you took pol235 online, was it with purdue or na?

like how'd you finish it in a week 😂

[unique tapir]

it was with purdue, it was entirely self paced, and so i found the quizlets, grinded for a week and called it a day. ezpz

[bronze dew]

cool!

[neat trail]

Did anyone create a new CS server?

[dim marsh]

Why would you need that? The Cs Memers one is active enough

[zenith pagoda]

yo could i have that server link

[dim marsh]

Sent a dm

[neat trail]

Do you know if there's a server for incoming freshman

[dim marsh]

There is one for COE

[neat trail]

Dyk when we should find roommates and how

[undone merlin]

can i have the link?

[dim marsh]

QywT5TaF

You can google it as well

[deft cargo]

cud u send me as well

oh wait nvm

[wet barn]

you have less than 2 weeks to submit roommate requests

[deft cargo]

wait rly?

i thought it was may 5

[wet barn]

that's the general housing deadline

priority housing + roommate requests + LC applications were due 15th last year

idk if they changed

[deft cargo]

oh shoot tysm tysm i wudnt have known without u

[neat trail]

Wtf

I literally just got in this is so rigged

@wet barn does Purdue do random roommates?

[wet barn]

yes

[neat trail]

mb I meant do they only do random roommates and no picking

[wet barn]

no you can pick too

[neat trail]

Alr thx

[boreal linden]

They literally are giving people till May 15 to decide

how can they end the roommate request well before then

[deft cargo]

wud it be hard to double major in AI and CS(ML concentration)
cuz the course difference is 3 intro to cs courses that cs requires and AI doesnt, other than that, they are the exact same

[south cobalt]

purdue or emory for biomedical engineering?

[deft cargo]

i may be sliiiightly biased

but purdue is definietely 100% the better option trust me
/j

[bronze dew]

they changed deadlines for housing

[lethal ore]

To when

[bronze dew]

search it up
5/15 commit day
5/5 priority housing
5/19? regular housing

[plucky zodiac]

Woah

[deft cargo]

committed to purdue

https://tenor.com/view/yippee-happy-yippee-creature-yippee-meme-yippee-gif-gif-1489386840712152603

[dim marsh]

best uni trust

[deft cargo]

w

[chrome bolt]

i just got my decision for appeal

got in

[dim marsh]

Gratz

[livid fiber]

which major

[chrome bolt]

applied for fye orignally

appealed for finance

got in

[livid fiber]

interesting

are you going to switch back to fye?

[livid fiber]

if you could get in to finance why didn't they wl 😭

congrats tho

[chrome bolt]

Honestly 😭

[chrome bolt]

Honestly

Going to go to Virginia tech

Really like the school

[livid fiber]

same! (not commited yet)

[chrome bolt]

Engineering?

[livid fiber]

yes

[chrome bolt]

What decisions are u waiting for

[livid fiber]

dms?

[chrome bolt]

Aight

[livid fiber]

since this is purdue chat

[urban sierra]

How did you appeal?

[chrome bolt]

there was a change major button from which i wrote 2 essays and changed major

i applied in december

[urban sierra]

ah ok

[chrome bolt]

and decision came out yesterday

[queen dirge]

@wet barn can I please DM you

[wet barn]

yeah

[old kettle]

congrats

ima have to switch major cause law aint it

[undone geode]

Hi, I just got apparently just got into purdue fort wayne based on my application to west Lafayette(that is what the email said), and I was wondering how difficult it would be to transfer to west Lafayette for engineering after a year or something

[sharp verge]

https://www.purdue.edu/newsroom/releases/2024/Q2/sk-hynix-announces-semiconductor-advanced-packaging-investment-in-purdue-research-park.html

4 billion

https://www.purdue.edu/newsroom/releases/2022/Q3/skywater-technology-chooses-discovery-park-district-at-purdue-for-1.8b-semiconductor-fabrication-facility,-to-create-750-jobs-in-5-years.html

1.8 billion

[wet barn]

very

it's not worth going to fort wayne just to transfer to main campus

[plucky zodiac]

Hey yall is there a Purdue discord server

[deft cargo]

yea

one for engineering, one for cs/ds/ai

[plucky zodiac]

Oh

Okay

[deft cargo]

if u want one of them i can dm them to u

[unique mesa]

what does this mean

for the future of purdue

AI chips

so they new CS ppl and semiconductor ppl

les gooo

hopefully

[plucky zodiac]

Nah, im not in those thanks though!

[undone geode]

Ok ty

[hoary spear]

can u send the cs one pls

im in the general and '28 server rn

[deft cargo]

i gotchu

[slate ivy]

same 🙏 👆

[deft cargo]

i gotchu

[slate ivy]

thanks 🫡

[manic egret]

Hey, if anyones going to Purdue for CS dm me!

[slate ivy]

actually, i'm considering my options, but am most likely commiting to uw

[deft cargo]

W

congrats

uw cs is insaaaaane

does anyone know the average gpa for purdue students when they graduate

[hoary spear]

university of washington right? not university of wisconsin-madison

[half haven]

UW is Washington

[hoary spear]

oh ight, i just heard some ppl in other chats refer to uw and wisconsin so was confused

[half haven]

Ye UWM is Wisconsin

One letter big difference

[slate ivy]

thank youuuu

[slate ivy]

yup, university of washington at seattle

[hoary spear]

damn congrats!

[half haven]

For CS that is some cracked magik

[slate ivy]

😭😭 ty guys it was the only reach I reached

spent all my luck there

[mossy kindle]

I just got an eatrhquake

[deft cargo]

ny?

[narrow dew]

Anybody got in for cit?

[boreal linden]

Same, but I barely felt it

No one in my school did

My mom felt it from home tho

[fair sequoia]

???

i didnt submit any test scores to purdue northwest

i didnt even want to apply, i only got rejected from their main campus

[muted dirge]

My guess is when you sent scores to Purdue in WL it was stored in the entire Purdue University system but that’s weird

[half haven]

It’s wierd but just go to UW

Dw about it

[fervent scaffold]

@lost fractal MY FRIEND GOT HIS DECISION

waitlist lol

[lost fractal]

mine got waitlisted too ahahaha

[wet current]

Anyone know when they begin to send waitlist results back?

Or at least the majority of them?

[toxic ruin]

rejected purdue but accepted UW???

Are u wash in-state?

[fair sequoia]

yea

[toxic ruin]

Oh makes more sense lol

[fair sequoia]

already committed to uw but still a teeeeeny bit salty abt purdue :P

[toxic ruin]

Don't be.

UW is infinitely better

campus, location, staff, rankings

legit in every way

[fair sequoia]

i dont doubt it lol

still a bit confused why im getting emails from other purdue campuses but

¯_(ツ)_/¯

not like it matters

[solar sapphire]

GO PURDUE MARCH MADNESS GOGOGO

[old kettle]

it says its not business major for some reason

i dont get why

[frozen dune]

ermmmm so i got this email

the title is "YOU'RE IN, (my name), at Purdue University Northwest!!"

and then it says congratulations

but

i didn't apply to PNW????

so is it telling me to send an application, or did i miraculously get it?

[unique tapir]

if you apply for purdue wl im under the impression that they automatically also consider you for their branch campuses such as PNW

[frozen dune]

ahh ok

[gusty ivy]

has anyone seen financial aid stuff from purdue yet, just curious

[half haven]

Not me

[spark wind]

Nope. I'm waiting for any signal that they will or wont send me financial aid stuff, since without it I can't commit to any university

[delicate idol]

Does it matter when you submit purdue housing

i heard it doesnt matter as long as its submitte dby priority deadline

[rotund comet]

I think as early as you can especially if you are trying to pair up with a random roommate. There's a pool of possible roommates that match you on the housing portal and I think the later you sign up the fewer options you will have. Also if you are interested in any learning communities then you should sign up as soon as possible because they will run out of room.

[undone merlin]

when is the priority deadline

[wet barn]

literally everyone gets into pnw

i don’t even mean it in a bad way, literally anyone who submits an app to purdue automatically gets into the satellite campuses

[frozen dune]

yea so i ain't even considering it

[sharp verge]

purdue is really trying to fluff up their satellite campuses

but I agree UW is much better at CS and frankly the location is a lot better

[untold dagger]

My friend who got rejected from WL also got something like this

[stone lotus]

mid ahh school anyway

[deft cargo]

Yeah I wud def pick uw over Purdue

[sharp verge]

unless you're broke

if you're ECE it's a hard sell between UW and Purdue though

[muted dirge]

I’d say Purdue for Engineering but CS at UW

[bronze dew]

when can I start using student discounts

[wet barn]

right now

at least online ones where you only need a .edu email

[bronze dew]

oh dubs

[next siren]

anyone know likelihood of getting off waitlist at purdue

one of my friends is waitlisted im tryna get him to write a loci

ok hes cooked it sas 19 last year

[muted dirge]

It really just depends on if they overenroll or not

[next siren]

yea

Any way to figure that out

[next siren]

when do ineed to commit to purdue for priority housing\

[unique mesa]

no UW is at corridor of physical AI

purdue cracked at basketball

[sharp verge]

what do you mean by physical ai

[spark wind]

maybe robotics?

[jade crag]

when will they release fin aid stuff i need it to be able to commit to a uni and i don’t wanna be shafted with a bad dorm

[half haven]

I mean you can commit, unless aid is a college deciding factor. You can also request specific people to dorm with.

[unique mesa]

chips used to be trained on AI models and robotics-human interaction

uw is way better

no ques

[deft cargo]

arent they making a chip factory or smth in purdue

[old kettle]

ai is mid anyways

[unique mesa]

thats semiconductors (kinda) but idrk

im talking about physical AI

[unique mesa]

sure 100% not going to take away your medicine job

any engineering job except aerospace or mechanical is automated

in next 5 years

^elon musk

so if ur not going in those fields learn ML/AI

[old kettle]

yeah ima go broke

im not med anyways

pro econ

[deft cargo]

mwahaha im taking yalls jobs

[sour ferry]

please elaborate

i’m not saying youre wrong or anything, i’m js curious

[old kettle]

how would mechanical not be automated

[sour ferry]

every past automation boom has created some surplus of jobs

ie: sewing machines in the 1800s or how agriculture was advanced in the 1900s with tractors and the like

idk this time COULD be different but i feel like everybody was saying this back then too

[sour ferry]

maybe because you have to innovate/invent stuff? i’m not really sure though

[old kettle]

just let the ai invent ur ideas

and plus i thought all engineering is innovating anyways

[sour ferry]

yeah i know lol

like i figured fields like electrical or biomedical would be safe but i may be wrong lmfao

[old kettle]

biomedical maybe unless ur doing labs

electrical high doubt

[deft cargo]

ai inventing stuff?

not happening for a while

[old kettle]

ai inventing YOUR ideas

im not saying self aware yet

[deft cargo]

https://tenor.com/view/wtf-confused-look-gif-24835232

ion geddit

[old kettle]

just tell the ai ur thoughts

maybe give a replica

like a drawing

[deft cargo]

huh?

[sour ferry]

actually now that i think about it

i doubt ai will take over anything

we already have automation in a ton of thriving fields

who wants to ride a commercial airline without a pilot?

[languid widget]

me

[sour ferry]

same tbh

[languid widget]

LMAO

[unique mesa]

mechanical is very hard to automate

compared to any cognitive task

I'm a CS major

but only if you're working in AI you won't get replaced

[deft cargo]

W

[unique mesa]

and you atcually know what LSTM time forcasting random transformers etc are and can actually train them

[deft cargo]

im safe :D

[unique mesa]

otherwise you'll be useuless in the field of CS

[sour ferry]

okay but even with ai doing most of the work people will still need to be present

[unique mesa]

maybe specific niches like cybersecurity attacks will remain

[unique mesa]

yeah ofcourse

AI still has a lot of capabilties that we don't know yet

and who knows whats going to come after transformer models

thats what CS will help you

[languid widget]

yeah i feel ai will prob change the way jobs are done

[unique mesa]

otherwise I'm saying

like aerospace engineering is hard to automate

[sour ferry]

why

how

[deft cargo]

yeah ai applications are rapidly accelerating since everyone realized omg ai is a thing

so its gonna change a lot rly quick

[unique mesa]

as its a process requiring lot of manufactring/materials etc

the process will eventually be automated

things that are cognitive like software engineering will get replaced immedieatly

as its simply a cognitive task

[deft cargo]

devin ai lol

[unique mesa]

I know AI can train itself but you still need to discover new capabilities

[deft cargo]

yea AI cant create yet, it can reproduce what its been given

[unique mesa]

thats what computer scientists will be doing

[sour ferry]

…so what fields are safe

[unique mesa]

but AI can never actually

[unique mesa]

AI research is safe

and aerospace/mechanical

[sour ferry]

but lab work will eventually be automated?

[unique mesa]

but eventually by 2080 I don't think anything is safe

[sour ferry]

and coding..?

[unique mesa]

not like lab

no

I'm saying coming up with the next best model

like right now its transformers

[deft cargo]

i mean well be 70 sooo

[unique mesa]

it's going to be something else new

that can do even more things

[sour ferry]

couldn’t an ai just come up with that?

[unique mesa]

thats what us CS majors are going to do

[deft cargo]

W

[unique mesa]

no

[deft cargo]

yea AI learns like how a parrot learns, it learns to do things its taught, but it will never teach itself new words, at least not yet

[sour ferry]

honestly people say it is over for cs

but its not

[unique mesa]

thats what we have to create

and thats going to take time

[deft cargo]

i think AI for cs is like calculator was for math

[sour ferry]

precisely

[unique mesa]

it took like over 15+ years

for transformers to come to the state they are in

[deft cargo]

yea, i thats what i wanna work on, why im majoring in ai

[unique mesa]

so for job security

I think CS is the best

but

[sour ferry]

but its just that cs firld is getting super competitive

[unique mesa]

you need to be smart about what you do

[deft cargo]

knowledge models are the next thing we gotta do

[unique mesa]

and not slack of in college

[unique mesa]

well r u the average cs major

[deft cargo]

sadly, yea

[sour ferry]

lmao

no i took his phone

[deft cargo]

thats the under average cs major tbh

[unique mesa]

doesn't actually learn

[sour ferry]

true

[deft cargo]

average cs kids are where u sit in room leetcoding all day

kinda sad

[sour ferry]

gotta get those projects in

[unique mesa]

because ik that is pointless

[deft cargo]

w

[sour ferry]

yeah

i have too

[deft cargo]

tbh career advise from a high schooler is funny

[sour ferry]

its surprisingly easier than you thino

[unique mesa]

lol

[deft cargo]

oh dam

purdue?

😐

[sour ferry]

do you think for csci is it better to do intern or research

interns i frel like you only get side hustles

[unique mesa]

i'd say internships matter

real world experience truly matters

[sour ferry]

fair

[unique mesa]

you can do that at a lab

[sour ferry]

but youd learn more in a research

[unique mesa]

like many labs offer internships

[unique mesa]

well if you want to create the net best thing

in AI

then yes you need to do research

and do masters/phd to have your own lab

really depends on what you want to do in life

[sour ferry]

true

i am planning to do that

[unique mesa]

an engineering guy told me all about this

like about AI automating

he writes medium articles too on it

[sour ferry]

its just that in 4 years a lot can change

and im kinda worried about that

[unique mesa]

worried about what?

about not having a job

[sour ferry]

the field changing drastically

[unique mesa]

no it won't

companies will take time to adapt first of all

[sour ferry]

ok im gonna give his phone back

byebye

[old kettle]

preparing funeral for my career

[languid widget]

surely all of stats cant get automated in the next 4 years

😭

all i know is chatgpt isnt

[deft cargo]

isnt what?

[languid widget]

good at stats

like even basic level lmao

[digital fulcrum]

you think electrical engineering will be replaced by ai?💀

i don't think you know much about the field then

[languid widget]

yeah i dont think electrical will be lmao

i mean maybe basic things but

most of it needs a human

[digital fulcrum]

yeah i doubt things like analog ic design are going to be replaced in the near future

[languid widget]

ai is also hilariously bad at logic rn

but we will see in the future

[deft cargo]

yea

chatgpt is a language model

it knows english in the same way a parrot knows english

[languid widget]

fair enough

LLMs are pretty bad at math

[deft cargo]

sees words that are in close proximity often in its data, and outputs what it sees is words in context

[deft cargo]

yeah

they see 1 and 2 next to each other in a lot of stats problems, boom, the answer is 12

[languid widget]

LMAO real bruh

i am def scared about ai in general tho no tjust

jobs

[deft cargo]

yeah the not knowing how itll affect stuff is scary

[digital fulcrum]

not electrical engineering? lmao

[languid widget]

real :/

[digital fulcrum]

maybe the basic stuff, but certainly not integrated circuit design

[languid widget]

i think i agree yea

[digital fulcrum]

are you also an ee major?

or cs

[languid widget]

nah im stats + ds major

[digital fulcrum]

ohh cool

[languid widget]

the reason ik about ee is cus machine learning

is in stats

ty

or at least partially know about ee

[deft cargo]

purdue lost nooo

dw its the effort that counts :D

[languid widget]

LURDUE

[deft cargo]

:(

purdue my beloved

[languid widget]

im kidding

i wanted to purdue win

[half haven]

Purdue my beloved

They got it next year

[deft cargo]

purdue my beloved

[deft cargo]

yea this year was a practice run

[dim marsh]

Edey vs UConn 😭

[half haven]

Hey at least they went to finals

Last time they did in 1969

Gonzaga got clapped 😏🤓😜

[deft cargo]

gonzaga is a fake school right

they dont exist

even apple knows its fake

[sharp verge]

purdue is so inflexible

they should've thrown threes when UConn was piling on edey

that's definitely what uconn did, you never knew if they were pushing for a 3 or rushing through for an easy one

[raw warren]

rip zach edey

this was his last chance at glory

now he will be perpetually stuck as a mid-tier center in the nba

😔

[spark wind]

Mulligan!

[dusky lynx]

tbf he carried with like 36 point or whatever, and he is lottery pick so I think he'll be pretty successfull

[old kettle]

i will become that

[half haven]

Purdue could have won if they didn’t only rely on edey the entire game

Maybe in the last 10 minutes they could have started shooting 3

[deft cargo]

does ayone have the purdue co28 server

the general one, not the eng one

[hazy dune]

yo anyone know how to set up the purdue.edu email

😭

[deft cargo]

https://it.purdue.edu/services/new-to-purdue.php

[urban sierra]

lmao

should have directions somewhere

[old kettle]

when will fin aid come for purdue

[half haven]

god knows

[old kettle]

bet

[deft cargo]

the difference between the ai major and the cs major - ml track is 3 courses
is it practical to try to take those 3 courses over summer or smth and double major, or will i die because if the stress and workload
the courses are
CS 24000 Programming in C
CS 25000 Computer Architecture
CS 25200 Systems Programming

[hazy dune]

purdue or ucsb for cs 😭

[deft cargo]

i mean is cost a factor, where do u live, etc etc

[raven shoal]

purdue

[boreal linden]

Yesterday I met this cs student and he said the reason why he went to Purdue was because Berkeley was too far and all of his friends were going to osu

[languid widget]

hes real

[boreal linden]

How do you apply to llc's?

Or is it too late

[unique mesa]

that was obvious

semiconductors are not getting automated

[unique mesa]

purdue

[bronze dew]

are purdue classes hard to get? like registering for classes

[wet barn]

generally no

the only classes ik of that are consistently full are all the linear algebra classes

also the lower-div cs classes fill up pretty early in the sems where they are open to everyone

[bronze dew]

oh i see

do people sometimes not get the classes they wanted

[bleak quest]

when does winter break start and end in purdue?

[deft cargo]

hows the toilet paper at purdue

is it the stupid single ply ones

or its actually good

[spark wind]

why is this information important

[unique tapir]

nah speak for yourself i spent 2 semesters trying to get into biomedical ethics 😭

[unique tapir]

its 👎

[unique tapir]

uhhh this past year finals week ended dec 16 and then classes started back up on jan 8

[wet barn]

depends on the building. most are mid

but mccutcheon uses the most premium toilet paper i’ve ever seen ong

[deft cargo]

this information is of utmost importance

[deft cargo]

nnoooooo

shud i un-commit then 😔

[half haven]

just buy your own & keep it in your backpack. There's like 3 Super Walmarts & a Sam's Club in West Lafayette

[chrome bone]

anyone planning to CODO to engineeering?

[abstract cloud]

@wet barn ive heard the professor matters a lot for classes bc some are just horrendous. I didnt apply honors, but does that maek it a lot harder to get access to a class with abetter professor?

[unique tapir]

nah

there are tons of good and bad professors in honors

and tons of good and bad professors in normal classes

• it just doesnt really work like that

there arent any honors professors if that makes sense, professors will just sometimes teach an honors course or an honors section

[bronze dew]

what are the benefits of honors and is it worth it?

and whats the process of applying as a current student

[unique tapir]

main benefits of honors is the freshman housing + they really push research & try to make it easier for you to join a lab

not sure what the process is of joining as a current student but the vast majority of the perks are for freshman so idt its worth going for afterwards tbh

[bronze dew]

oh okay i see

[unique tapir]

yeah like the absolute biggest perk is housing but the housing is only for freshman so

[bronze dew]

will companies favor "honors college" when looking at resume or is it not worth much

[unique tapir]

from what ive heard companies dont care

theyd rather see internships/research/projects/leadership/etc

[bronze dew]

mm ok tytyy

[boreal linden]

Do you know if it's worth going into an llc?

[unique tapir]

everyone i know whose in an llc loves it

it deff depends on the llc imo (im not personally in one) but ive heard lots of good things about WISP, Data Mine, and EPICS

[boreal linden]

Do they get better housing?

[unique tapir]

it depends

[boreal linden]

EPICS is one that I was interested in

[unique tapir]

from my understanding they try to move where the housing is for them to prevent people from applying for one just because of housing

i think EPICS was in shreve this past year which i havent heard any terrible things about

[boreal linden]

I see. Makes sense

[bronze dew]

has anyone gotten financial aid yet?

[half haven]

negative

[civic spire]

do u send a loci if ur waitlisted :/

[deft cargo]

i wud guess so

wudnt hurt 👍

[abstract cloud]

i shudve applied honors

[deft cargo]

u can apply next year cant u

[unique mesa]

bro nah they don't take transfers

[deft cargo]

if u get into purdue, u can apply to honors every year

i think theyre admitted???

[unique tapir]

they do lmao

dont speak on things you dont know about

[deft cargo]

daaam

w

[raven shoal]

@unique mesa u got cooked buddy

[hoary spear]

yeah u can

@unique tapir how good is the honors college? i already said yes to it but im not sure if i will continue it all 4 years

[deft cargo]

im a hs senior so idrk know anything abt it, but exclusively from what ive heard from others, its just better housing and earlier course registration

but take it with an entire salt shaker's worth of salt

[hoary spear]

how come

[deft cargo]

cuz idrk anything abt it

only rumors and secondhand info

[hoary spear]

oh ok

[hoary spear]

hillenbrand housing is a bit better, its cheaper with more sq ft and private bathrooms while honors has communal

[pine gale]

someone tell purdue to slide me in ill name a planet after them

[deft cargo]

no no i was saying honors gets u better housing

[deft cargo]

i gotchu

wait what major r u

[hoary spear]

if ur in honors u need to live in honors dorms

[pine gale]

cs

get me in

i will dedicate my work to purdue

my current research

to purdue

if i get in

i will dedicate a planet to them

can i donate a planet

is that a thing

[spark wind]

lol

[deft cargo]

lmao

mb bro i cudnt even get into cs 😔

where r u going if i cant convince purdue

[spark wind]

https://www.nbcnews.com/id/wbna41534708

[pine gale]

no i will give them a newly discovered planet

for their astronomy side of things

for research

[deft cargo]

yeah ik a guy who named a star after himself

[pine gale]

who wtf

usually stars (at least for tess) are differentiated based on target id

[spark wind]

if you can find a new planet in the solar system i think aiming for purdue is selling yourself a bit short

[pine gale]

dude ive found one

[deft cargo]

i mean discovering a star apparently isnt that difficult

[pine gale]

i find planets for nasa

[deft cargo]

bro went to irvine for CE

[pine gale]

no it isnt but planets are

[spark wind]

crazy, whatd you name it

[pine gale]

you have to be able to differentiate between noise and genuine transits

[deft cargo]

yeah planets are a lot harder id guess

cuz they arent blinding

[pine gale]

i cant name it, its named after its star

[deft cargo]

or u cud start naminig the noise after urself

the kunal noise

the purdue interference

[pine gale]

usually the format is this: [target id]-[planet num]

[pine gale]

LMAOOO

high snr is what it is

signal to noise ratio

[pine gale]

not in solar system but in the like universe

its 120 light years away

pretty cool

[spark wind]

lightwork for me

im already there

[pine gale]

its not a gas planet

its terrestial

which is nice

its small

almost the same as venus

[spark wind]

habitable?

[pine gale]

nope

actually

we dont know the atmospheric composition

but i doubt it

plus we cant even get there

not alive anyway

[deft cargo]

wait if ur a cs major, why r u finding planets, u shud be an astro major

[pine gale]

nah i use dl/ml to find them

machine learning is my thiing

[deft cargo]

oh shi thats cool

[wet barn]

i would take honors bathrooms any day of the week over hillenbrand’s

[spark wind]

how do you use machine learning to find planets? you teach them to recognize the shape of a sphere or something?

[pine gale]

nope

so when a planet crosses in front of its host star

and you measure the brightness

you notice a dip in flux right? a dip in brightness

when you chart brightness v time of a star

[spark wind]

yeah

[deft cargo]

my ml interest is just a language, urs is finding and naming planets billions of miles away
now thats cool

[pine gale]

when a planet crosses in front

you see a dip in brightness

[spark wind]

i learnt about this in 11th grade astro but i promptly forgot it all

[pine gale]

like this

see

as it passes in front

[spark wind]

right

[pine gale]

thats called a light curve

[spark wind]

so when a planet eventually passes in front of a host star, you expect to see a dip in brightness, which is what the machine detects

[deft cargo]

i can see why u dont wanna do that by hand lmao

[pine gale]

yes but the hardest part is how you are collecting the data

the preprocessing is insane and the thresholds that nasa have are so preceise for ml models

[pine gale]

yeah LOL

[pine gale]

ml can do anything man

its really cool

[deft cargo]

im 90% sure its not that easy and ur dumbing it down for us right

[pine gale]

yes i am dumbing it down

[deft cargo]

hell yeah

[pine gale]

there are alot of thinigs

[deft cargo]

yej, gud

[pine gale]

like a fuck ton of steps

[spark wind]

makes sense. they're nasa after all

[pine gale]

right

i love it there

bro the happy hours are nice

even though im underage

i get to talk to people

and i can get cheap ass soda

$3 for beer and wine btw

2 for soda

[spark wind]

talking with drunk astrophysicists sounds like an

interesting experience

[pine gale]

hell yeah

[spark wind]

im imagining a drunk neil de grasse tyson

[pine gale]

LMAO

[deft cargo]

yeah this is why im majoring in ai cuz were just finding out that, "dam we cud use ai for that"

[pine gale]

exactly

[deft cargo]

and its prob not slowing down for the next 4 years'

[pine gale]

no it will not

ml has been a thing for years but now its

[spark wind]

why would it slow down after 4 years

[pine gale]

starting top

[deft cargo]

wait r u majoring in ai or cs

[pine gale]

its not

slowing down

[pine gale]

cs lmao

[deft cargo]

ooh

where

[pine gale]

got rejected from the schools i wanted to go to

so still banking on waitlists (purdue and uw madison)

if not the cc > transfer (unfortunate)

[deft cargo]

glgl :D

[pine gale]

idk how i got this fucked

[deft cargo]

r u a cali resident?

[pine gale]

stats and everything was perfect for cs

yes

[spark wind]

your LOCs from Nasa were probably drunkenly written

[pine gale]

LOL

maybe

[deft cargo]

then cc -> uc is guaranteed, ur gonna transfer into smth insane

cuz worst case is irvine CE

[pine gale]

ccc to ucla cs probs

[hoary spear]

any reason why? arent hillenbrands private so better?

[spark wind]

guaranteed because hes a good applicant, or guaranteed because they have some sort of policy that accepts all transfers?

[deft cargo]

guaranteed because theres a program called TAG for cali residents

[pine gale]

uh they have a policy for uci but for ucla its 70% guarantee for las

for ucla cs its a little lower

maybe 50 or 40

[spark wind]

thats so high wtf

[pine gale]

but i for sure stand out so whatever

[deft cargo]

yea uci is guaranteed, ucla is likely, and any other college has a crazy high chance

[spark wind]

ah but still thats crazy

[pine gale]

yeah

[spark wind]

uc berkely?

[deft cargo]

dude if u want ucla, i wud recommend transfer into cs+linguistics

its uncapped

[pine gale]

nah if im doing cs im not doing + ling

[deft cargo]

cs goes from like 4% hs applicant to 20% chance trasnfer applicant

[pine gale]

not interested in lingustics

[deft cargo]

aight fair enough

[spark wind]

man transfer rates are so scuffed like columbias transfer rate is 13% compared to their usual 4%

honestly crazy

[deft cargo]

yea im a cs+ling person, so if i didnt get purdue id prob to cc-> ucla cs+ling

[deft cargo]

yeah

[spark wind]

how does linguistics help? i mean coding is a language after all but does it really aid you that much

[deft cargo]

theyre realizing trasnfers increase socioeconomic diversity, and were realizing that cc is actually not bad

[pine gale]

its not

[deft cargo]

no cs+ling like chatgpt

its using cs to do things in linguistics

[pine gale]

isnt cs + ling BA tho

[spark wind]

isnt every cs part of "linguistics" since its
yk
coded through languages

[wet barn]

honors has a ton of single-person washrooms on every floor with proper vanity and stuff

[deft cargo]

i mean from ucla its cs, and companies love that

[wet barn]

hillenbrand’s washrooms are literally just a toilet and a shower. not even a sink

[deft cargo]

no cs+ling isnt creating new programming language, its using languages, like english or spanish in cs

like chatgpt is cs+linguistics because its using cs to make language models

[spark wind]

ah

[deft cargo]

like google translate is cs+linguistics too

uses ml to translate language 1 to language 2

[spark wind]

yeah im more interested in coding machines than software

okay that sounds

not very sophisticated

but yk what i mean

[deft cargo]

nah that sounds cool

isnt that what CE is?

or am i mistaken

[spark wind]

probably. dunno tbh

ngl im only going into CS because my dad wants me to

not a very good reason but

i mean hey lets see

[deft cargo]

lmao

what r u interested in tho

like if all majors paid the same, what wud u do
