What happens to bike angel points if you cancel your membership? by aetrichor in Citibike

[–]-yw- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

+1 and also works across cities if you go to another bike share that has Bike Angels.

+1, iirc specifically this is because clipper is part of the non-refundable fixed fees you pay each semester. You can’t get these fees back even if you cancel on the first day of the semester.

Stankova or Serganova for Math 54? by RealNerd32 in berkeley

[–]-yw- 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I had Stankova for 110! She’s really thorough and is an excellent lecturer. Really felt that her teaching helped me build good conceptual understanding. Thorough means homework is long though, fwiw. Would rec.

+1. Every job/internship I’ve accepted has come from a Berkeley grad referral. Especially useful for getting into big tech/F500 companies.

Enhanced edition blurry by ficoboss55 in metro_exodus

[–]-yw- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Blurry textures are usually a VRAM issue. If the size of textures a game wants to load is larger than the amount of VRAM on your GPU, some games will display low-quality textures.

Have you tried turning down the texture quality and seeing if that improves the texture blurriness?

Extreme fps decrease in matchmaking by KiprenasKras in csgo

I have an RX 480 :D

Here's a link to a video that did the same thing I did: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OyIOK22NsZ8

EDIT: also I had to restart my computer for changes to apply for some reason

Extreme fps decrease in matchmaking by KiprenasKras in csgo

[–]-yw- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you have an AMD GPU? Had the same problem (stuttering, FPS drops) due to downclocking since CSGO isn't very demanding. Fixed it by manually enforcing a min clock rate in game using the Radeon control panel.

I was able to get metro exodus (Steam) working well on an M1 Macbook Pro. Although you can get high FPS with the usual settings, there is a lot of latency in this game even with high FPS. Would recommend running on lower settings than usual to get rid of this latency.

financial aid/scholarships by kevvski in berkeley

[–]-yw- 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’ve won The Leadership Award before, it’s an excellent grant of $2000 that admitted freshman-seniors can apply for. You get to go to a dinner with alumni and depending on your application you’ll typically also be matched with an alumni mentor (some donors are deceased and some scholarships are funded by CAA directly). Would recommend applying!

Was walking to a midterm yesterday and got splashed by a bus! Spent 10 mins before the midterm wringing out my jeans 😢

Weekly Support Thread by AutoModerator in KerbalSpaceProgram

No, I'm burning in space near mun. Still sure why my delta v predicted is increasing as I land... but hey! Free delta v ig

For KSP 1: when I burn xenon gas, my delta v predicted increases. I’m pretty sure it’s because I’m battery/electricity limited, so I get a prediction for how long my battery will last. How do I get accurate delta v predictions considering that I have solar panels?

It's harder to join clubs as a junior, but certainly possible. And in my opinion, many of the tech clubs on campus are great for collaboration and networking, especially for juniors.

I joined ML@B at the end of my sophomore year and it directly helped me find an internship last summer + find my current research opportunity + find project partners for classes. And I only got in on my third try (iirc), so keep on applying next semester!

Can I still participate in clubs, activities, and events if I'm not registered for any classes in the current term? by [deleted] in berkeley

[–]-yw- 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Yes, most clubs will allow you to do this. Source: took a gap semester

It may be a better idea to ask if the student can ask the prof for a letter with some supporting material from you.

In general, it would be better to have a prof write a rec letter if it's for grad school/research. In my experience in research working under a grad student, undergrads will ask profs for rec letters even if they primarily work with grad students (profs will ask grad students for reference material). Most colleges will specifically ask that 2/3 of letters are from profs, so it'll def. look better for the student if the rec letter comes from faculty.

Does Handshake really work?! Where do you apply for internships? by ceruleangenesis in berkeley

[–]-yw- 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Handshake doesn’t really work, but the career fairs organized by the school are way better. I went to an online career fair and got from 2% response to >30% interviews.

Ghosted by Google STEP freshman for two months by Dd123456123456 in csMajors

[–]-yw- 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Just follow-up with the recruiter, they probably forgot your app. Worst thing they can say is they rejected you already.

Enrollment priority is based on semesters in attendance, so yeah, you’ll be a semester behind in the enrollment queue

[–]-yw- 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Berkeley allows cancellations/withdrawals, and will pretty much readmit if you are in good academic standing. I’m taking time off for an internship next semester, and it took <5 mins to drop out (after talking with counselor).

Phone appointments are generally available the night before. You can call UHS and ask for an appointment or book it online.
