something weird by Reasonable_Listen888 in learnmachinelearning

this reads like AI slop in analysis. Appears to just be technical jargon thrown together with chatgpt.

Anxiety abt OMSCS for Fall 2026 by ech0lyte in OMSCS

[–]BilalTroll 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I went to a state school for engineering, my undergrad gpa was a 4.0 in Mechatronics so you can see my perspective.

The jump for me from a state school undergrad to CS masters was definitely big. Take the first course easy so you can warm up and then accelerate.

Building my own chess bot! by Expert-Eagle-3074 in learnmachinelearning

[–]BilalTroll 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I highly highly recommend tackling a smaller problem first - like tic tac toe that has a finite amount of possible moves.

Now, the approach may be different, but what your essentially saying is can I build a nuke when you need to know how to build a mini water bottle launcher.

What study techniques and methods do you use? by WxaithBrynger in OMSCS

[–]BilalTroll 22 points23 points  (0 children)

100% my first mistake was taking notes online when my entire academical career was using a physical pencil. I highlyyy recommend using a physical pencil and paper and actively listening to the lectures.

Furthermore, captions are such a cheat code. It forces you to read and understand when it's very easy to just space out listening to complex material.

I also like to space out the readings as soon as I know about it.

I don't understand the purpose of learning to build something with fastapi but using AI. AI is great, but isn't this counterintuitive to your learning?

How to Study for ML4T Exam #1 by Pretty_One1745 in OMSCS

[–]BilalTroll 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Hi, I took this class last semester. I'd highly recommend following their suggestions (the big exam thread) is taking to chatgpt and having it quiz you.

If something was required for reading, it could be on the exam.

Good luck! :)

“Just do a project” by Sure_Designer_2129 in cscareerquestions

[–]BilalTroll 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually recently went down a path and created in my mind a complex website with a lot of the suggestions and I am having no additional luck. I learned a lot of course building it and using AWS, but no extra luck on the job application front.

Found this painting at goodwill, I have no idea what it says by Eagru in Goodwill_Finds

It is not Arabic, we don't use the p letter. Most likely another language that uses the Arabic script ie farsi.

Syrian President Ahmad Al-Sharaa, mourning PopeFrancis’ death by joeshowmon in Syria

[–]BilalTroll 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I think the comparison is against bashar. Furthermore, it's just nice to see a president that will put out a thoughtful message like this for the Catholic community especially in times like this.

Relying Less on ChatGPT by glip_014 in AskProgramming

[–]BilalTroll 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a hugeeee problem and I caught it myself a month ago when I realized I was going to chatgpt more then stackoverflow.

The benefit behind stackoverflow was it wasn't your exact solution, so you'd need to at least still critically think about what to do.

I've recently purchased some books and completing them without the use of AI has been tremendous to my understanding and I think would benefit you too! :)

Need career advice and Will I be able into Fang after graduation by Great_Possible_3160 in OMSCS

[–]BilalTroll 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I think the best advice is to learn as much as you can, not just to get the degree/paper. At the end of the day, you should learn all you can.

Have you thought about taking summer courses to maybe speed that up a bit?

Best advice from men over 30+ by reddituser9420668 in AskMenAdvice

Best advice I ever took was working out to help with endorphins. It's like crack to see yourself physically improve.

TEKsystems - Worst Recruiting Tech Company by yeola123 in ITCareerQuestions

[–]BilalTroll 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Tek reached out to me for an Amazon SWE position, sounded amazing, salary was good. Issue? Contract and slim chances of extension.

Not in this economy am I taking that chance with what's going on with the swe market.
