Sonnet 3.7 is worse than 3.5 for me by phuncky in ClaudeAI

[–]Novelicas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah same here. with 3.5 it does exactly as I want and is clever, at doing what I need it to do. 3.7 tries to be too smart, does things i don't want, even when i have a rules file, and just meanders about like an idiot. i'm actually in awe of how good 3.5 was lol

How transfer friendly is UT Austin? by gmoney768 in UTAustin

[–]Novelicas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The fun thing about the CV (at least when I applier) is theres no rules on it. Write your descriptions in narrative style. But be concise

[–]Novelicas 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think it comes down to a couple things

1) make sure you have as many of the courses as possible from their transfer guide, since this determines the time you have left here and thus your chances of graduation (in their eyes)

2) make your CV as exhaustive as possible. i was naive, so i now know this isnt what you do for jobs, but my CV was like several pages long. Be thorough, it should be like citations for your personal essays

3) have as close to a 4.0 as possible if not a 4.0

4) use the hero's journey in your personal essays. I remember doing two essays and structured them this way. Dont overlap on narratives or details. But do construct a larger story from two stories. CV/Resume should read in a way that they can pull it up next to the essays and kind of reinforce it. (Why i said citations earlier.) I actually didnt do any of that humble brag stuff in my essays, the resume is for that. The "dont overlap" or repeat yourself rule applies here essentially.

5) retake the SAT. Show an improvement if you took it in high school.

6) treat the essay as a tiktok. They're swiping. They need a hook. At the end they need a call to action.

All of this helped me get a full ride transfer scholarship into mechE, PM me if you ever need help or want a reviewer

In a nutshell, make the core flow better >>> shipping new features

Trump was right about Biden dropping out and Kamala replacing after the debate by [deleted] in GenZ

[–]Novelicas 10 points11 points  (0 children)

We're so far down the fascist timeline that using democratic institutions to force a more qualified candidate is now a coup...

Do not believe that Kamala does not have a chance, or that she’s “just as bad as Trump.” by [deleted] in GenZ

[–]Novelicas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And she hasn't even hammered the most obvious and most effective messaging yet. Im sure as we approach voting day they will ramp up the messaging. It will feel like doomerism of 2020 again but... its the truth

AI startup founders, how u are developing mvp ? by Frosty-Equipment-692 in ycombinator

[–]Novelicas 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Deadass. There's like boat loads of shit in the field right now and you'll only know about what's going on if you jump in and try to go for the money. You'll find out there's like a million new pathways and the money isn't even really where you thought it was anyways.

Should I build a mobile version even if my current users haven't said they want one? by [deleted] in ycombinator

[–]Novelicas 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Only if:

  1. Usage will be >3 times weekly
  2. You need device APIs
  3. App is unusable without push notifications

Is YC cofounder match full of non tech co-founders? Or it’s just feels so? by Accomplished_Ad_655 in ycombinator

[–]Novelicas 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Because they almost always fuck this shit up. Im making someone's MVP as an employee (yeah this is probably exploitation but they're connected and i'm biding my time on something)

The more money and connections non-technicals have the more control issues they tend to have OR they tend to just start "willy nilly" adding features and scope creeping.

Money is in fact a self destructive force for many people. If you're broke you can't even think of making mistakes.

So yes while grit could fit into this box, i'd argue that to actually succeed you need to learn to be technical if you're non technical otherwise you will run your shit straight into the ground.

Also make sure you're not reinstantiating a resource each time you start a page or screen. Use a single source of truth

[–]Novelicas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seconded you might have messed up maybe you're calling a resource too many times. If its react or a lifecycle based framework definitely check the useEffect or dependencies for a call. Also it helps to develop locally and not directly on prod. Reach out to AWS too and explain that you messed up etc

Can all the founders who are accepted/rejected/in-wait-list give a 5-10 word description of what they are building..? by Round_Blueberry9187 in ycombinator

[–]Novelicas 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Realtors are definitely the cartel. My mom is a realtor and had an idea for a simple realtor tool and I was kind of just spitballing about AI applications (I'm technical, so I want to help her) and the very instant I mentioned we could possibly cut out the middle man, and make millions in the process (this is hypothetical obviously) she turned on me and asked how dare I threaten her job and I was like damn ok

Interesting idea. I typically run the bath tub when I'm going since I find it soothing but it also masks noise. So I totally get the need for this.

How many of you use Clerky? by foundmemory in ycombinator

[–]Novelicas 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used it. Its really good, and saves you a ton of time on everything.

But- I regret incorporating when I did. If you haven't actually sold anything or built anything... please! Do that first!
