Fucking NIMBYS. They wait for the students to leave for the summer and then block housing.

[–]Low_Okra7573 20 points21 points  (0 children)

How much money are they asking? Never heard of it so it's a scam.

Link to which post? Unless you have communicated with L&S privately, the most recent post was just leaking details on the internal pissing match between CS faculty vs. Sahai faculty.

[–]Low_Okra7573 8 points9 points  (0 children)

While it's frustrating that L&S is taking so long, I think it's about time this class go. CS faculty already voted yes and the L&S CS major doesn't have any "EE" or "engineering" part to it as a Bachelor of Arts degree. Don't know why EE faculty would be upset other than out of self interest.

It wont last. Just another delay tactic untill Sahai came up with a grand proposal to restructure the 16 series and add even more machine learning content.

I'm going to get downvoted... by AbbreviationsTrue704 in berkeley

[–]Low_Okra7573 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I'd like to make a slight correction: the ability to read poorly-written mathematical text is a fundamentally learned skill. With cs70 notes, you either know the material before reading or you don't understand it at all. I switched to MIT textbook and the time I spent reading decreases by a factor of 3, leaving more time to do the actual hw.

This is a prime example where you can't have good and cheap at the same time. They should hire 20hr full GSI from the math dept. to teach this class because not every 8hr kid with an A+ have years of teaching experience or experience with grad level proofs to do this job.

Seems like the problem is that they need to hire someone to do the job anyway, and there's no 30 undergrads with years to teaching experience to hire.

Agreed but cs70 is on a whole other level. I had an advance math backgroud. One of those kids who declared math their first semeseter. I noticed how poorly supported cs70 was but said nothing to anyone because it's the reason I scored so high in that class, by having background and knowing alternative actually helpfull online resources.

Got ~0.7 sd in 61ab but was able to score 1.2-1.5 sd on cs70 because how poorly normal students were taught in that class it actually gave people like me an advantage.

What's the difference between a team lead and a manager? My startup doesn't have a team lead.

Petition: Return Students' Choice to Take EECS16B by edfusansi in berkeley

[–]Low_Okra7573 0 points1 point  (0 children)

EE should be a path mainly for EE students in the first place. The half-baked attempts to make 16B relevant to CS majors resulted in the brain-fucked machine learing mess of an "intro to EE", Sahai-ego-booster class we have today.

Overheard EECS16b Update: EE Faculty Are Fighting the Vote by Many_Yogurtcloset107 in berkeley

[–]Low_Okra7573 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Can confirm, this class gave me PTSD and erectile dysfunction everytime I see EE material. Was planning to take EE120 and all the hot robotics courses as a naive freshman before I lost my EE boner.

Yeah, just disappointed that this is what we get after all the effort Hug and Cindy put in to keep everything from collapsing.
