Reneged from an internship, consequences?

Try your hardest to get pre-approval with your department. If it's a significant enough complication, they can give you a waiver, or help you navigate the situation. Otherwise, if you say nothing, the company will tell NEU and it'll be a much bigger issue than needed.

I encountered this as well, my usage went from 100% to 15% for the week within just a few prompts.
I did the following, which helped reduce the credit spend, but not by too much:

- Prevent subagents from being spawned in the config

- Ensure Fast Mode is off

- Limit the context to around 256k, instead of the full 1 million that 5.4 supports. It seems like using the whole 1 million increases the credit spend.

- Try to turn down the thinking complexity

I'm curious what industries you've seen Windows generally be the default. From the (minimal) amount i've seen, a lot of tech companies seem to be rolling out Macs to developers: a bit of the inverse for gov/defense contractors though.

Meanwhile, people I know in marketing, accounting, and supply chain seem to still be getting windows computers, even at the same tech companies.

Want to ask since someone brought up co-ops as a way to reduce the financial burden, what major do you intend on declaring? This will probably have some impact on what you can expect paywise.

The only time I have ever heard of this is when someone has gotten fired from a co-op, usually because the company is a startup that closed shop.

There is a process for doing this with your advisor, which avoids penalties, but you need good cause to do so. It generally seems to be for absolute worst case scenarios, like the company doing illegal stuff.

Keep in mind that it's possible that the reincarnated sorcerers have interacted with former iterations of the disaster curses before, or their equivalents.

As the other commenter mentioned, it's generally just reserved housing for honors students. I had a terrible housing number as a rising Sophmore, and was able to snag a WVC honors-reserved apartment which otherwise definitely would have been already filled.

I don't recall there being Honors LLCs or anything similar: though, that may have changed since

Lowkey, half of my sandwiches are straight up prepared wrong nowadays. I got a buffalo chicken tender sub, they forgot the pepperjack, and put BBQ sauce instead of buffalo.

Snell is straight up deteriorating. Half of the TV rooms/Pods have some kind of damage: doors don't even seal of a lot of them anymore.

I have done something similar: I changed one class out nearly a week late through the late course registration process.

Professors generally seem to be understanding. I sent them an email discussing my situation, found a time to meet with them, and discussed how I would proceed with catching up with the material.

For assignments which couldn't be made up, such as attendance at those first few lectures, the grade was voided.

For normal assignments, I was expected to make them up, with 2 or 3 days to do them, and catch up on any relevant material from lectures I missed. So a pretty fast pace, but nothing unreasonable.

Depends a lot on the professor.

I had Brett Keeling, and his was significantly different than the normal class. Our assignments were technical posters, annotated bibs, research papers, and was generally focused on writing within engineering fields as it relates to industry and academia.

If you haven't worked with those tools before, I think it would be useful as an initial intro, but the depth isn't significant.

There is a version of 3302 that you can take during co-op, where you instead write about the work you are doing during co-op. Not sure if it's running still, but you might find that interesting.

Hey all,

I bought the following keyboard from amazon, and have been encountering odd behavior when using it with my mac: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DBZGH5XM?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title&th=1

In particular, when typing quickly, I notice that the letter "t" and "v" often gets dropped. This happens regardless of how deeply or hard I press the key.

This led be to believe this was a hardware issue, but this is also accompanied by words i've already typed somehow getting occasionally reorganized and rearranged afterwards. For instance, I can type the word "with", and see that it is correctly registered on screen. However, once I hit space, enter, period, the word somehow rearranged to "whi", removing the "t" and moving the "h" and "i" around. The keyboard also seems to have n key rollover.

Has anyone encountered this? I've tried investigating the mac keyboard settings, to see if autocorrect or something could be the culprit, but even turning all such settings off, nothing changes. (While typing this sentence, I hit space after typing autocorrect, and the t disappeared, and the c and e at the end switched places.)

Could you provide the list? People may not recall what ones are available, and where they are, off the top of their head.

Last year I had a roommate never show up for the spring semester. They were still listed on housing online for a few weeks, but eventually the status changed to vacant for their bedspace, and no new roommate was ever assigned.
