Idk it's like penguin plus basketball player wearing a clipart crown
lmao the edit is so tuff wdym

I haven't talked to u enough to make a judgement
Ok I see it now that u say so
hmm
Why all these misspellings
R u typing fast
hmmmmmmmmm
interesting

i'm rlly sorry you feel pressured to get in
i expected to get in only to my safeties and that saved me a little

eh not to MIT but to other places
Also im pretty happy with th fact that i alr got into Santa Clara. Its a great school and close to home

yes!!!!

Awwwww
tame coral
tbh one of the reasons i am applying here is because i like how y'all handle the mascot
storm onyx
The whole channel is a goldmine
fossil stone
Are there beavers 🦫 near campus
storm onyx
They are common in Massachusetts
covert ridge
Are there beavers 🦫 near campus
Nah
storm onyx
So presumably?
covert ridge
There’s a lot of bunnies roaming around the grass here
It also started snowing
So they’re hopping all over the snow

you always have good takes

The only thing between us and the decision is some person in an office pressing a button
alpine nymph
Right
frosty snow
The only thing between us and the decision is some person in an office pressing ...
nah its a computer on a countdown
probably
storm onyx
nah its a computer on a countdown
Allegedly they manually push it
frosty snow
Allegedly they manually push it
i stand corrected
frosty snow
It’s weird to think my decision is already existing
its like not a schrodinger decision because someone already observed it and the information is already in the universe
if only you had a way to pull out existing information out of the universe somehow
storm onyx
Don’t say Schrödinger please I hate it when people popsci quantum physics
frosty snow
bruh
mental geyser
Allegedly they manually push it
oh this would explain why some people got their decisions a few minutes early
storm onyx
if only you had a way to pull out existing information out of the universe someh...
That’s called illegal access yes
frosty snow
Don’t say Schrödinger please I hate it when people popsci quantum physics
okay but am i wrong in the way of using it
it pmo when people use it wrong
just to sound smart
storm onyx
Your claim that it’s not Schrödingers is correct but no need to even mention it
So many people abuse Schrödinger cat
frosty snow
i thought this was a safe place to be nerdy 🥀
its the mit thread goddammit
where decisions release at tau time
mental geyser
Don’t say Schrödinger please I hate it when people popsci quantum physics
i think this is better than when people just dont talk about quantum physics at all like
frosty snow
and rd at pi day
storm onyx
its the mit thread goddammit
Yeah which means your gonna get put on blast for scientific statements
frosty snow
Yeah which means your gonna get put on blast for scientific statements
if theyre wrong yeah
:(
mental geyser
wait why do you hate the reference anyways
frosty snow
yeah
alpine nymph
What even is quantum physics
storm onyx
wait why do you hate the reference anyways
People use in a way that’s just too far drawn from the cat analogy
alpine nymph
I need to lock in on nerdy stuff outside of CS
storm onyx
It’s supposed to be an intuitive way to explain a quantum phenomenon
mental geyser
People use in a way that’s just too far drawn from the cat analogy
i mean this is very common in pop culture/ pop <anything>
storm onyx
i mean this is very common in pop culture/ pop <anything>
That’s why I don’t like it
It’s popsci
mental geyser
popsci is good
storm onyx
It trivializes a scientific principle
mental geyser
we need more <anything>sci
storm onyx
To the point where there is no practical meaning left to the way it’s used
mental geyser
like if schrodingers cat ever becomes an insta trend
storm onyx
If you want to expose people to quantum physics you gotta do it right
alpine nymph
Starsbucks new limited time Schrodingers mocha frupuchinno latte
It both does and does not contain 500g of sugar
storm onyx
actually the definition of observer is quite interesting
frosty snow
If you want to expose people to quantum physics you gotta do it right
nah u gotta do it simple and interesting
ie, a cat
mental geyser
i mean if someone is actually interested in quant phys they'll bother to read stuff more about it anwyays
alpine nymph
Whyd he choose a cat
storm onyx
Well the cat works until you expand it beyond the scope of being usefully informative
frosty snow
we need more <anything>sci
do not restrict it to the arrogant academics who insist on the complex jargon
im all for making higher science accessible and interesting
storm onyx
There’s a fine balance between that and giving society a general misconception of scientific concepts
We often lean towards the latter

the cat and extended examples work perfectly well for people not majoring in particle physics

do you rather want them to not know the existence of this conception at all then

man its not a misconception
alpine nymph
This is such an MIT convo..
frosty snow
😭
mental geyser
This is such an MIT convo..
im flattered 😭
storm onyx
This is such an MIT convo..
No it’s actually quite a stupid convo
We both largely have the same points yet disagree on semantics
alpine nymph
I think every science has their like misconception that is over taught
But usually the misconception isnt like large enough to be completely harmful
next urchin
ts is what ppl think mit students discuss all day 😭
mental geyser
We both largely have the same points yet disagree on semantics
so let people use whatever popsci notion they want ¯_(ツ)_/¯
frosty snow
No it’s actually quite a stupid convo
We both largely have the same points yet...
i personally love incorporating science references in my daily life
you draw strict boundaries between the academic world and the rest of the world
this is our difference
alpine nymph
Like arent mitochondrias not really all that powerful
mental geyser
powerhouse of the cell 🥺
storm onyx
Mitochondria is extremely important but it’s not the full story of glycolysis
alpine nymph
Atleast not the "powerhouse"
mental geyser
powerhouse of the cell 🥺
there was a while i saw that one all over insta
frosty snow
ts is what ppl think mit students discuss all day 😭
ppl would not be completely wrong
i have these type of convos/jokes often with my stem friends
alpine nymph
Hmm can I think of a misconception for comp sci

No because it trivializes the field and gives people misconceptions that can often be hard to correct

if someone is studying in that field
i trust it would be pretty easy to correct it
if it isnt
then im sorry but theyre just dumb
storm onyx
1+2+3+4... = -1/12 XD
Yeah this one is really atrocious
next urchin
1+2+3+4... = -1/12 XD
😭 what

people don’t get the context of it being an extension of the Riemann zeta function😭
mental geyser

i love how you follow up with the explanation of what it actually is everytime a misconception is brought up
mental geyser
1+2+3+4... = -1/12 XD
i think if i told my friends this they would believe me
frosty snow
No because it trivializes the field and gives people misconceptions that can oft...
absolutely nobody on this planet needs a perfectly scientifically correct understanding of quantum physics except for particle physicists, they are just people with a curiosity of the world and would like to learn without the high barrier that people like you insist on
storm onyx
i think if i told my friends this they would believe me
And then people walk around saying this and it serves legit nothing
It takes some background in math to understand what that is about
It’s not something you can easily correct
mental geyser
It takes some background in math to understand what that is about
and we're not trying to introduce them the background
bro my friends dgaf about math
its called having fun and abusing myc redibility
storm onyx
and we're not trying to introduce them the background
You can’t go from zero to Riemann zeta function in a day 😭
mental geyser
and we're not trying to introduce them the background
yea,.
storm onyx
What im saying is its far more productive to talk about concepts in the general reach of the target audience
frosty snow
And then people walk around saying this and it serves legit nothing
so what if the average joe is like "haha fun fact 1+2+3+4... = -1/12"
those who need to have a correct understanding of it will, and nothing bad happens if average people have an incorrect understanding of some numbers
mental geyser
What im saying is its far more productive to talk about concepts in the general ...
we're not trying to be productive
storm onyx
we're not trying to be productive
Idk I want my conversation to serve some purpose
frosty snow
What im saying is its far more productive to talk about concepts in the general ...
like the cat...
mental geyser
like i thinkk you overestimate the damage of misconceptions
mental geyser
Idk I want my conversation to serve some purpose
i guess we have different ideas for conversation in mind then
storm onyx
Sure but I’ve also had to spend way too much time fixing peoples misconceptions about the cat when teaching basic quantum physics
mental geyser
oh
so youre that one guy who corrects the misconception when people spread it?
why
frosty snow
like i thinkk you overestimate the damage of misconceptions
especially in the fields of higher math and physics
misconceptions in history/social studies/political science is indeed damaging to our society
but lets not talk politics 😭
storm onyx
It’s hella annoying to have to do that because people don’t pick up corrections to an existing memory as quickly as the memory itself
alpine nymph
I just started watching a 3blue1brown video about what a zeta function is and the first comment is literally the exact topic being talked about here
storm onyx
so youre that one guy who corrects the misconception when people spread it?
I mean I lecture for the school physics club
mental geyser
It’s hella annoying to have to do that because people don’t pick up corrections ...
why do you feel an obligation to correct people
storm onyx

Send
frosty snow
Sure but I’ve also had to spend way too much time fixing peoples misconceptions ...
news flash buddy
you don't have to! and most people do not care! people who do care will go figure it out themselves
mental geyser
I mean I lecture for the school physics club
thats so irrelevant
storm onyx
I’m interested in what his audience has to say
mental geyser
thats a club that has a much different purpose than a casual conversation
alpine nymph
Am I allowed to send YT vids?
storm onyx
thats so irrelevant
Yes but I have to correct the aftermath of said conversation
storm onyx
Am I allowed to send YT vids?
Yeah?
frosty snow
Yes but I have to correct the aftermath of said conversation
no u dont
storm onyx
https://youtu.be/sD0NjbwqlYw?si=vrD_DZ_BVhM0fovt
Ok yeah that comment checks out
mental geyser
I mean it’s my job to teach them the concept 💀
no but we meant like
storm onyx
What do I do, tell them to pound sand 💀
storm onyx
what im saying is that casual conversation hurts them in an academic context
mental geyser
what if they dont care about math
or physics
storm onyx
Who’s to say they won’t pick it up later
frosty snow
I mean it’s my job to teach them the concept 💀
only in physics club
mental geyser
Who’s to say they won’t pick it up later
then dont yoou think they would care enough to clarify the misconception regardless
frosty snow
What do I do, tell them to pound sand 💀
nah u just sybau :D
mental geyser
Who’s to say they won’t pick it up later
this is also a very nice idea for say middle school but lets be realistic i can think of a ton of friends who just absolutely will not pick up math or physics
frosty snow
what im saying is that casual conversation hurts them in an academic context
in an academic context they give 0 shits about
frosty snow
Who’s to say they won’t pick it up later
theyll learn then
storm onyx
nah u just sybau :D
Aye bro we’re having a conversation this isn’t insult hurling land
frosty snow
my bad
mental geyser
what is the mit thread arguing about
idk but its more entertaining than reviewing for my exams
limpid heath
idk but its more entertaining than reviewing for my exams
i have an exam tmr i should be sleeping
mental geyser
i have two exams tomorrow but im not sleeping until 12:30 :>
actually thats a bad idea but
very bad iea
limpid heath
i have two exams tomorrow but im not sleeping until 12:30 :>
are u still studying? what time r the exams
mental geyser
are u still studying? what time r the exams
well i have school and then theres an exam in the afternoon which is when im sleepiest
(i would actually elaborate but i think theres people here from my school possibly)
alpine nymph
Watching this reimann zeta function video makes me realize I dont like i all that much
storm onyx
wait i wasn’t tryna kill ur convo
lowk i needed the convo to die cause i gotta lock tf in for a psych project
3 hrs to finish like 3 weeks of work
what
no i'm just sped and procrastinated lol
jesus ya'll have a knack for reading so far into words
mental geyser
jesus ya'll have a knack for reading so far into words
i can see how you said this without any further intent or meaning at all and at the same i can see what she means 💀💀
storm onyx
its a text message
i always take text messages at face value and don't really read into them cause words without actual expression can mean bout a 1000 things
mental geyser
i can see how you said this without any further intent or meaning at all
storm onyx
well what i'm saying is that i intend for my messages to be read that way yes
i'm not refuting what you said
frosty snow
i always take text messages at face value and don't really read into them cause ...
my brain fills in a tone when i read texts and i suppose the way it soudned in my head was pmo
sorry i dont often get into arguments online 😭
i promise im a nice person

Google drive with folders organized by topic + a little preamble page
night coral
why you have flame friended
limpid heath
I hate people who police what games are real video games
alpine nymph
Idk if thats like

Flame is so orz
limpid heath
Let people play the games they want
night coral
actually legendary
alpine nymph
The official meta but I was inspired by someone else's

ok cool I mean thats what i have for maker portfolio before i transposed in slideroom
limpid heath
Lol

This is the mit thread everyone got it vro
night coral
phi is also just very nice to write
i am a \varphi user and nothing will ever convert me to \phi
alpine nymph
Δ and its just a nice little modest triangle
storm onyx
phi is also just very nice to write

alpine nymph
Woah looking at the greek keyboard ive been writing μ backwards this whole time
limpid heath
I like gamma
alpine nymph
Howd I pass physics
limpid heath
Nice function
tardy acorn
My penmanship for Greek letters is so ass
storm onyx
i am a \varphi user and nothing will ever convert me to \phi
well it depends
limpid heath
Relates to Gamma
night coral
no it doesnt
alpine nymph
I thought mew was just like y but straight
night coral
shush
storm onyx
\varphi is the correct one for the variable
limpid heath
Is the factorial
storm onyx
\phi is the constant
night coral
\phi is the constant
this is not true
i can probably pull up a paper that uses \varphi
for it
storm onyx
😭
night coral
it is extremely unstandardized
storm onyx
well hey thats how i use it then
night coral
i think this is proabbly fair
storm onyx
/ was taught to use it that way
alpine nymph
Wait did yall do interviews for mit
night coral
yeah
limpid heath
Ugh my mit interview was so mid
alpine nymph
If so did you do in-person or online
limpid heath
It was my first interview
storm onyx
Wait did yall do interviews for mit
in person yh
tardy acorn
Online
alpine nymph
Mine was so locked
night coral
i forgot to send a followup email with my interviewer after the interview
¯_(ツ)_/¯
average fried
storm onyx
i talked for like 2.5 hrs 💀
night coral
i still have not
alpine nymph
We went to this nice coffee shop
storm onyx
i forgot to send a followup email with my interviewer after the interview
u supposed to?
night coral
usually ya
alpine nymph
u supposed to?
Yes
tardy acorn
Jealous of y'all who got to do it in person smh
alpine nymph
Literally
alpine nymph
MIT will not let you in
tardy acorn
I'm so awkward on calls 😭😭
storm onyx
nobody ever told me this etiquette 💀
storm onyx
Twin its over 💔
i'm rejected anyways
storm onyx
DUDE I HAD NO CLUE :SOB:
night coral
i knew the etiquette and i just forgot/was too lazy
alpine nymph
Without getting a formula to tell them to do it
limpid heath
i'm rejected anyways
ur not getting rejected ea
tardy acorn
It's okay I'll get into UNC
night coral
unc is going to unc
storm onyx
ur not getting rejected ea
in deferred we trust
alpine nymph
I sent one but it was a little late cause i was super busy right after it
limpid heath
Even deferral is good cuz it means they’ll at least consider u
tardy acorn
Deferred is just a polite rejection
limpid heath
Deferred is just a polite rejection
Yeah but
night coral
Even deferral is good cuz it means they’ll at least consider u
not when they defer like 80-90% of their class
limpid heath
Still not a rejection
storm onyx
Deferred is just a polite rejection
theres two ways to look at it
tardy acorn
Delayed rejection
limpid heath
not when they defer like 80-90% of their class
It’s more like 65%
It’s not like they don’t reject
storm onyx
nearly 1/5th ish of the mit class is defer->admit
night coral
i appreciate that they take the time to review you a second time
storm onyx
so like
limpid heath
Actually my numbers might be off
night coral
i think it is a kind gesture
storm onyx
theres a decent amt of people
night coral
nearly 1/5th ish of the mit class is defer->admit
i dont believe this?
i dont think the defer -> admit rate is that high
storm onyx
i dont believe this?
lemme pull up my sources
alpine nymph
Lowkey thinking positive thoughts that MIT accepted me
storm onyx
storm onyx
Deferred applicants admitted
during Regular Action 175
limpid heath
Hey guys i got rejected from mit and my life is great now!
tardy acorn
Actually MIT already admitted me
alpine nymph
> Deferred applicants admitted
> during Regular Action 175
Ain't that like 1/10th
Or so
tardy acorn
I can see it in my mind
storm onyx
Ain't that like 1/10th
13% thats mb
storm onyx
Defered accepted RD but student choose somewhere else
this is just admits
alpine nymph
Thats kinda crazy
night coral
its also just like
storm onyx
enrollment is not a factor in any of this data
night coral
defer -> admit acceptance rate is like 2.3%
night coral
which is just complete despair
limpid heath
Defered accepted RD but student choose somewhere else
this is admit not yield
storm onyx
defer -> admit acceptance rate is like 2.3%
but my thing is thats not a productive way of putting it?
limpid heath
defer -> admit acceptance rate is like 2.3%
ok but the acceptance rate overall is like 4%
night coral
but my thing is thats not a productive way of putting it?
i think thats a pretty productive way of putting it?
night coral
ok but the acceptance rate overall is like 4%
yeah thats what im saying
storm onyx
i think thats a pretty productive way of putting it?
its all shit in the gutter regardless
limpid heath
Like either way ur cooked
night coral
its even lower than the global 💀
alpine nymph
Letter of continued interest
storm onyx
so comparing gutter a with gutter b does nothing
storm onyx
Letter of continued interest
no LOCI, only FUN form
alpine nymph
Yall stop thinking about being defered think about getting ACCEPTED!!
storm onyx
feb updates & notes = FUN
alpine nymph
no LOCI, only FUN form
Oh right
storm onyx
Yall stop thinking about being defered think about getting ACCEPTED!!
lowk i'll get accepted and do FUN form as a power move (even admits have to do it lol)
fun form is both loci + midyear grades
alpine nymph
Think about going on a shopping spree to celebrate!!
desert furnace
Yall stop thinking about being defered think about getting ACCEPTED!!
Such optimism i aspire to be filled with such mirth
storm onyx
Think about going on a shopping spree to celebrate!!
what
night coral
lmao look at all of these nerds talking about filling out the FUN form
storm onyx
i don't contribute to such capitalist shitfuckery
tardy acorn
I got a B will I die
alpine nymph
fun form is both loci + midyear grades
Oh gish I cant let them know i failed macro this semester
tardy acorn
in a stem class 💔💔
night coral
i don't contribute to such capitalist shitfuckery
i believe the correct term here is tomfuckery?
alpine nymph
Macro is officially my lowest high school grade for a quarter
night coral
i think shitfuckery was phased out a bit ago
storm onyx
i believe the correct term here is tomfuckery?
tomfoolery
tardy acorn
I'll just tell them working 30 hours a week prevented perfect As
storm onyx
i prefer shitfuckery
night coral
to each their own i suppose
alpine nymph
I'll just tell them working 30 hours a week prevented perfect As
30 hours a week as a student??
tardy acorn
foolishness is my fave
tardy acorn
30 hours a week as a student??
Yeah shit was hard lol
tardy acorn
Managed to get an A in calc 2 and linalg so
alpine nymph
Something MIT coded??
tardy acorn
What do you work as?
Chick-fil-A 😭
alpine nymph
Oh
tardy acorn
rural things
night coral
thats some real shit
tardy acorn
WHEN ARE YOU WORKING
Basically 2:30-11 4x a week
alpine nymph
2:30..
tardy acorn
Mon / Wed / Fri / Sat

Chick-fil-A 😭
See the funny part is I tried to apply for fast food jobs but there’s like no open positions here
It’s nuts
tardy acorn

Literally
night coral
all my friends want to work for in n out
storm onyx
But coder school gave me an offer so hey
night coral
nah but $22/hour at in n out will chnage your mind
alpine nymph
I tried to work retail before getting a summer internship and figuring that was enough for college apps
storm onyx
I get $22 per hour but I only get to work 5 hrs per week

No retail / fast food job is amazing but I honestly would recommend Chick-fil-A, they're strict in hiring so most your coworkers are good
storm onyx
So it’s meh
tardy acorn
I get $22 per hour but I only get to work 5 hrs per week
Hours is the real factor
alpine nymph
I really wanted to be a math tutor
storm onyx
Hours is the real factor
Yeah
tardy acorn
Here they legit let u work whenever
storm onyx
They weren’t willing to do more
tardy acorn
As long as it's under 40 hours a week cuz of some rule for minors I think
storm onyx
As long as it's under 40 hours a week cuz of some rule for minors I think

As long as it's under 40 hours a week cuz of some rule for minors I think
40 hours as a minor in school cant be possible anyways
tardy acorn
You'd be surprised, a lot here graduated early
storm onyx
It’s like 18
tardy acorn
So they could work more
storm onyx
And there’s a cap of 4 hrs per school day
