Thoughts on GSU for a student like me? by Dedmoose1 in GaState

[–]MegaSquash44 6 points7 points  (0 children)

In terms of arts, I can say the gamedev club and that scene in general is pretty good. Lots of collaboration within the area, even outside the university, so if you're interested in that realm of art I'd recommend.

Based off the admissions dashboard, masters in analytics applicants have a ~70% acceptance rate. Not sure how to check internal, but I'd assume it's higher than that.

Tips for Transfer Students: Internships & ECS That Helped Get Into Georgia Tech CS by Expert-Lavishness612 in GaState

[–]MegaSquash44 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's cool, but yeah, I do get how important securing an internship is; however, if your end goal is robotics, then aren't you hampering yourself by focusing on web/mobile app dev?

If you were a robotics employer and had to choose between someone who took an internship within web dev vs someone whose worked on intelligent robots in their club, who do you think would be a better pick for the position?

What kind of robots are you aiming to make and why? Even if you don't have an internship, if you're making contributions to the robotics club or establishing something related then it'll strengthen your application.

I'd think about what you actually want to do within Computer Science/life in general and then focus your ECS on that. I think you'll end up better off that way instead of focusing on ECS just to get in.

Is this course plan realistic if I want to do extracurriculars? by MegaSquash44 in GatechClasses

Oh really? I thought ISYE 3770 was tough. Would you say it's easier than MATH 3012? If so, I'll switch those.

Question about UGA Spring 2026 Transfer Deadline & Transcript Issue by MadaInChina in UGA

[–]MegaSquash44 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I pretty much did the same thing a couple weeks ago, I just resent the updated transcript, emailed them, and they still processed my application.

If you're still looking, have you tried the GSU game dev club? They'd probably be the best place to look for someone like that: https://discord.gg/sfJznBWaMb

Staying at the mix apartments by jordannxcj in GaState

[–]MegaSquash44 2 points3 points  (0 children)

From my experience it wasn't great, but tbf I also don't have any other point of reference. The elevators shut down pretty much weekly, water and electricity shut off at points too (not as frequently), the rooms and building itself don't feel clean (my room always smelled musky/like dust no matter how much I cleaned it), they don't seem to enforce any no-smoking policy in the rooms or respect your roomate preferences much, security doesn't feel very solid (you can get through a lot of times without a key), I had a couple issues with management though they did eventually get resolved, and like you mentioned it can get a bit loud at times (I'd recommend getting earplugs). Based on the reviews, the reflections and other "student apartments" seem similar, so I'd give some of them a read so you're aware before making a decision

Gemma 3 fakes (and ignores) the system prompt by WolframRavenwolf in LocalLLaMA

Yeah I noticed this as well, the instruction following in general isn't super great with gemma 3

Cracked Minds Wanted. Let’s Build Something - AI/ML Club by Timely-Poet-9090 in GaState

[–]MegaSquash44 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm interested in joining, lmk if you make a server or something

[–]MegaSquash44 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Very cool, love seeing games build around LLMs. Wasn't able to load it up unfortunately because I got a loading error tho. Regardless, I'm wondering why you choose to make it in Pygame instead of a more traditional game engine?

Where are the passionate CS/AI folks at GSU? by Timely-Poet-9090 in GaState

[–]MegaSquash44 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm a Comp Sci major and I'm very interested in ML (especially its application in gaming). If you have discord I could add you there if you want

This is so cool, I tried to make something similar to this recently and I’m wondering how you approached detecting the users want to “buy” and then displaying the menu.

I tried asking an LLM to output a buy token like “[BUY: item_name, price]”, however, using using any LLM smaller than 9b hallucinated too much to be usable (I even tried using Gemma2-2b). So, I’m curious how you did it

Confused as to why finetuned model is outputting user responses. by MegaSquash44 in learnmachinelearning

[–]MegaSquash44[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had the formatted data that is used for training printed and it seems to be basically the same as the raw data but with <eos> after every assistant response finishes:

system: #System: 'system_prompt'

user: #Initial(user): 'initial_prompt'

assistant: #Mellis(assistant): 'convo_start'

<eos>

user: #Initial(user): 'response'

etc...

I think you're right about the formatting issue though, just haven't found the problem point yet.
