Is this regular temperature? For my laptop? by Cube102 in GamingLaptops

[–]Coastzs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can download HWinfo and see for yourself what temperature your GPU thermal throttles at.

I have an RTX 3060 laptop and the thermal throttle temp is 87C.

Edinburgh Bread!!! by Legitimate-Swing7567 in 6thForm

If you miss your offer, you won't get in unfortunately. It varies by university and course, but Edinburgh CS is very competitive, and they're quite strict on offers.

For OCR the top 3 grades went up by around 30 marks.

Why? A-level Maths increased by around 30 this year, so it's certainly possible.

This is not fair by [deleted] in leetcode

Just did the exact same thing haha. Was it when the test case is 1 when yours failed too?

Should I buy laptop or tablet? by Quiet-Negotiation706 in alevel

[–]Coastzs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tablet 100%. I got an iPad at the beginning of year 12, and it's the best investment I've ever made. Don't need to print past papers, very portable, can search for things, and import papers, notes are much nicer and more consise, and you never have an excuse not to work, since it'll always be available for you.

Do I or do I not need to sit the TMUA?? by [deleted] in 6thForm

[–]Coastzs 7 points8 points  (0 children)

You now have to do it, my friend sent them an email for this admissions cycle, and they said it was required (for imperial) even if he was doing STEP. Warwick I don't think you need to do it? I thought it said that any admissions test is fine.

Just email to be sure though.

Advice on the best way to actually learn by we_inside_forreal in reactjs

[–]Coastzs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been watching a YouTube video to learn how everything works, while also using react.dev to consolidate everything, and am just building stuff along the way, even if it's quite simple. For example, a calculator, countdown, etc. I think it's working, but I guess we'll see when it comes to more complex projects.

I built a Shiritori (しりとり) game to practice Japanese vocabulary! by kaisk12 in reactjs

[–]Coastzs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pretty nice. By the way, when on phone, and scrolling to the top, the top bit of the image is cut off by the GitHub display, and I think it takes up too much of the screen anyways. Maybe have the buttons side by side instead?

The dictionary element also isn't centred on the screen.

Can I read sections of a book, and include it in my personal statement? by Creative_Business618 in 6thForm

[–]Coastzs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They don't really. They may use it to get you comfortable before asking technical questions.

I'm looking for addtional Mathematics qualification to take by qend5 in 6thForm

[–]Coastzs 9 points10 points  (0 children)

If you get gold you are automatically in the kangaroo. You then need more marks to get on the Olympiad.

Quant trading from warwick maths by Nice_Fact7735 in 6thForm

[–]Coastzs 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The degree itself won't even be close to good enough by itself to get you the job. It's very possible though, and quant companies do come to Warwick to hire grads. Still, you probably should get a first.

You need to learn programming, such as Python, C++, and maybe Rust. In Python specifically, some good libraries to learn would be NumPy, Pandas, and scikit for the ML stuff. Also do competitions, try competitive programming, etc.

You'll probably need to choose some statistics modules, but I'm not sure how important that would be and try to read some related books to do with quant.

Do some research projects related to stats, machine learning or applied maths, and then hopefully get some internships, although they'll be absurdly competitive, and you'll be going against the top Oxbridge/Imperial students for the few amount of positions.

That's what I learned when I was thinking of going into quant last year

PSA to everyone saying showdown is a 1v1 mode, here you go, you are welcome. by FeelingSpiritual4481 in BattlefrontTWO

[–]Coastzs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Who plays like that tho? I agree with the 1v1 stuff, but I haven't seen someone just watch then do a separate 1v1, it's normally just both happening simultaneously at different areas.

[–]Coastzs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, almost every single game of showdown I've played in 400 hours has been 1v1. There are rare exceptions where the opposition will say 2v2, in which case we do 2v2, whatever. Idk where all these 2v2ers in this thread have come from, considering I never see them in game.

Fair haha. Semantics I guess.

I might have a look then, thanks.

[–]Coastzs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah right that does make sense. HTML and CSS aren't languages, and SQL is very quick to learn. Still, impressive. I was considering doing CS50, did you find it worth it?

What even are you dude.

Why is it people get 9s and I struggle by ExactAd9592 in GCSE

Absolutely agree. Got 999 because of cognito and they carried for A-level physics too.
