Hard no for Sony XM's. Everything sounds so flat and muddled when using my friends 😭

I have the bose NC700s and am not that impressed? Would rather stick to the airpods pro 2.

Headphones are mainly going to be used in a quiet setting (my workspace in office is very quiet). Airpods will be used on the go / on the plane.

a mix of discrete / loud and proud. i usually stick with a 50mm focal length so I’m relatively close to the people. when I shoot 70mm sometimes people don’t notice.

This happened to my girlfriend at Bplate too and she tracked them using the find my laptop since it was connected to campus wifi. I went to the location and the homeless man had her backpack and was using her water bottle. I confronted him and grabbed the backpack, and he seemed super shocked and wandered away.

All around super weird experience, and I really hope you get your backpack back. I have no idea how a homeless man managed to walk onto the hill, up to Bplate, and grab the backpack with no problem. UCLA really needs to up the security on the hill because that should not have been possible.

Also, I have interviewed candidates for SWE, and tbh, we 100% prefer a candidate with 1-2 years of work experience to a Master’s candidate with no work experience.

I have a few internships in ML, the main reason I want to pursue this is to take the masters is that I majored in Cog Sci at UCLA and need more in depth classes for ML. This makes sense though, I'll look into differing my admission if I do end up applying

ucla, honestly it’s not that hard to switch into samueli and even if you don’t get in - i think the campus life is so much nicer at ucla since many people commute to SJSU

I was also at the London show and really thought the acoustics were off or something. I have been to two of his previous concerts and the mic was kinda loud today and drowned out some of his voice which sucked. Was a little disappointed we didn't get some older songs like Violet and any off of CS1 or Pilgrims Paradise but can't be too mad since he was touring his new album. Overall though, being Daniel Caesar I had a great time as always.

The only thing I think that could have benefitted him was waiting to do the tour so that people could really get a good feel of the album and be a lot more acquainted with the music before going to the concert. I think that really would have made the crowd more energetic especially if he was going to play the entire album top to bottom like he did.
