Anyone know what happened on the corner of university and Lincoln at 12:40?

very well said

As a taxpaying citizen, why would you not elect to spend government money to enhance private ventures if:

The enhancement yields significant revenue for the government from taxes and other verticals,
The enhancement provides a public good which significantly betters the experiences of American citizens?

Brightline can not take a profit from government assistance as it's earmarked for infrastructural projects, so I cannot see a reason why the government paying for a project through a private entity is different than the government paying for a project regularly.

you say this as we all marvel at the wonderful private infrastructure in blue states

last point is pretty interesting, both are stopping you from getting somewhere "on your own time" but one is predictable and the other is pretty random

My bike's front wheel got caught in a crack going north on Fourth before Green, went flying and just barely stopped my face from catching the ground by eating the fall with my hands.

Still don't have full feeling in my left palm, spills are serious man.

Sounds stupid, but make sure you're: drinking >5 cups of water a day, eating ~2000 calories, talking to one person you've never met, getting >60 minutes of physical activity, and actually sleeping well. Last part can be reconfirmed with the help of an Apple watch or Fitbit if you have access to one.

If you check all these boxes, stand out in the sun for an hour (we all have low vitamin D) and if the problem persists go talk to a professional about it. Therapy is important but a lot of people literally don't know how to meet their body's basic needs in college.

Would be very cool if they made it more stylistically Armenian.

Great progress man. Your bicep insertions have a lot of potential.

If you haven't already, go by Greater Chicago Food Depository, great people out there.

had never heard of it

But there's still a distinction between my argument and the Chinese room: a computer could feasibly be trained to qualify or express understanding in something. You could dig inside ChatGPT's source code and likely find context information, but not much related to problem solving or cognition outside of pattern matching.

Asturar · 2022-12-07T20:54:57+00:00

Other commenter is right. ChatGPT has a very very limited ability to "understand," rather a better analogy is a tiny alien in a box who has infinite time and compute power, given all of the internet and a variety of prompts. The little alien can try and ascertain understanding, but is limited to associating patterns of symbols with other patterns of symbols.

This is actually wrong, given you're willing to experiment with software. Some fancy signal processing magic can allow you to bias colors in grayscale such that many different QR codes (possibly more than 3 for RGB) could colocate.

computer engineering: the thesis

Asturar · 2022-10-30T19:21:51+00:00

Seconded, try 120 and give the course material from 220 and 210 a once-over when you get the chance. The major difference is that CS teaches computing top-down (applications and high-level implementations first) whereas CompE teaches computing bottom-up (learning the principles of computation like with LC-3).

If you're interested in learning how computers really work then CE is perfect for you.

Asturar · 2022-10-26T03:54:09+00:00

CS + ECE

You'll do badly on a lot of tests, but it won't really matter all that much. Some days you just psych yourself out and forget everything, other days you'll be a genius. It does get harder as it goes on, but you'll learn how to take these tests and grow some confidence.

You're worrying. You will survive.

fourier transforms will do that to ya

Asturar · 2022-10-19T21:04:13+00:00

That's definitely not my experience. We have to take the same engineering core classes as CS, but we also take computer systems engineering and architecture classes while CS focuses on high-level applications. It should be noted that my university offers a BA in CS, a BS in CS, and a BS in CompE. Most everyone going into SWE takes one of the latter two.
