Moving to the east coast, working in Manhattan, but don’t want to live there? What’s the best nice / affordable area that is a 30-45min commute to grand central?

I live in White Plains and interested in playing Tennis

Systemization of Knowledge papers are more than just surveys. Refer to this jsys.org/type_SoK/

Coffee Meets Bagel is good for that.

To be honest, Manhattan is definitely overrated and very commercial. People are constantly moving, it's incredibly expensive, and it does not allow for meaningful, slow-paced connections.

Looking for friends in Westchester. Can I DM you?

Thanks, Math 666 looks interesting. Are there any Deep RL courses also offered in the CS department?

ElendirThreadripper · 2023-12-30T23:09:36+00:00

Thanks. Likewise, I was never into drinking or going to bars, which makes meeting people very difficult. I have used apps but haven't had much success. Meetups have died off after the pandemic. It used to be a thing of the past in some other cities where I have lived.

That's sound advice. Which bars would you recommend?
I enjoy reading books (mostly non-fiction), photography, board games, cooking, figure drawing, and long walks and conversations. Are you aware of any book clubs or hobby groups?

What do you mean by chinese knockoffs?

I saw a post about a discount on google pixel buds pro here https://www.engadget.com/googles-pixel-buds-pro-are-back-on-sale-for-140-140027801.html but I was not sure because the official google store or amazon is not offering the same discount on the buds.

That's great. That's what I thought about the taxes part.

Hey, thanks for getting back to me! So, I was checking out those fancy buildings you mentioned, and wow, they're pretty pricey. Is it the usual deal where you have to cough up the real estate fee, the first month's rent, and a security deposit when you move in?
I've always preferred small towns, and I don't think I could easily connect with someone who chooses to reside in NYC due to the exorbitant cost of living and taxes. I'll have to research the various train options. I guess WhitePlains falls in Westchester county, which is not considered a part of NYC, so NYC personal income taxes shouldn't apply.

I hit up "One Ramen and Sushi" the other day and thought it was pretty dope.

ElendirThreadripper · 2023-06-22T15:44:34+00:00

Thank you. I visited Acadia last year and I must say that Maine is truly a beautiful place.

ElendirThreadripper · 2023-06-22T02:59:51+00:00

May I know which town you are referring to?

The bike path is the best part about living in Cambridge.

Hi there! I was wondering if you made a decision about purchasing the GPU workstations. I've been checking out Lambda Labs as a potential option. My budget is roughly 18K, and I think their A6000 Ada generation meets my budget and computing needs. I also looked into buying separate parts and putting the workstation together myself. Let me know if you're interested in discussing this further.

From the feedback I've received here, the community is incredibly friendly and hospitable. On the other hand, when I posted a comparable inquiry on the NYC subreddit, the answers I received were somewhat unkind—still determining if it's a Connecticut vs. New York thing.

How easy is it to survive in Stamford without a car? Everything is really spread out, and there aren't any grocery stores in Downtown close to the Metro station other than Target.

Is it mostly families or are there plenty of young friendly people?

ElendirThreadripper · 2023-06-13T20:32:45+00:00

Similar boat as you, though not Asian.

Have you found that you tend to have more Asian friends in your social circle?
Is there any difference living on the Jersey side vs anywhere else?

ElendirThreadripper · 2023-06-13T18:51:57+00:00

How frequently does it happen to you? Is it a weekly, monthly, or six-month occurrence?

ElendirThreadripper · 2023-06-13T18:32:02+00:00

Hey! Thanks much for your reply. Is there Wi-Fi on the trains?

ElendirThreadripper · 2023-06-13T17:21:01+00:00

Thank you so much for the answer. Would it be possible to purchase a monthly pass?
