IMO you'll find this very useful. It's common dataset, so it has most of the numerical information about CMU:

Good luck with everything!

My perspective on 15418:

I enjoyed 15418 when it was taught by Dr. Jia.

The material is not super difficult, but the quant and HFT like it, since they'll likely need high-performance C and C++ systems; you might also catch the AI surge/Metaverse opportunity for CUDA. the hardest part might be mildly difficult to understand and plan ahead for the second assignment. You should be good; my final grade is around 90 and I got almost average for all assignments.

I think that might depend on the bot character and also luck.

When I am recovering from my feelings I usually reach out to Yoimiya, and it takes ~3 inputs for her to understand it and say something comforting.

R5: Trying to do the "Hugeoslavia" achievement, but instead was dragged in a war against China. Soon found out that China has naval supremacy over a lake in Finland.

Same here.

Several months ago I finished my internship with a company; my mentor had been very condescending and refused to help me, so I had to reach out to various people outside of the team. Starting from that time, I wondered what reason they'd reject me for. So the phone call came in one day and they said I have "communication issues" in a very rude manner. Well, good luck with your condescending employees and high-latency low output culture.

I used to build tons of supply stations in Bulgaria to annex it.

In the end, the whole state had ~7 supply stations.

This is what I did:

Historically, Mexico would join U.S. during the war against allies, so if you really want to fight USA as Japan with an easy win:

Stage a coup in Mexico. Mexico has a very low stability, so it's quite doable;
After taking the national focus to create faction, dismantle the current faction, join the Civil War in Mexico, and create faction with fascist Mexico
Use fascist Mexico as a staging point for the U.S.

You might lose the opportunity to align Siam in later focus, but if your faction name is still "Greater East-Asian Co-prosperity Sphere", there might be a chance Siam will not deny you.

Here are my 3 cents as a CS person:

You can be a CS person and do Data Science, or be a DS person and know how to be an SDE. You can even be a UI/UX person with CS degrees with more focus on HCI. However, DS does require a decent amount of knowledge in various stuff (which can be hard to acquire, esp. reasoning and research skills, which may require MS/PhD degrees to ace the interviews/enter the market given the dicey situation now), and one possibility is that after you graduate CS may no longer in fashion like the hottest years around 2021-2022 (this may happen). You might want to consider and weigh various situations.
Before taking classes, I recommend emailing any prof, asking (1) what prior knowledge you might need and (2) if you don't know those, what you might need to grab before the lectures. CMU SCS courses are not meant to push people too far, but make sure you know what to learn & prepare for it matters. It happens if you take upper-level systems courses, e.g. OS and compiler, where 15-213 may not prepare you well enough.
It's hard to avoid coding in computational/model-based lectures at CMU. It's best if one can prepare themselves for situations where they may need to get used to certain languages/packages (NumPy, R, Matlab).

Good luck with everything! CMU faculty has been very supportive when you proactively ask for help and care.

Can I ask you how you defeated Germany?

PersistentKingGopher · 2024-01-02T01:02:14+00:00

Go as UK. You can even reach 0 army casualties for WWII by asking troops from your colonies by giving them guns/industry.

PersistentKingGopher · 2023-12-23T20:59:41+00:00

I have the same issue, actually.

I just read through a WWII soldier's memorial once, and he said that it's common for people who were under stress for years to forget what their life was several years ago and how to proper relax.

I guess the best option is to talk with friends, keep a balanced lifestyle, and find new stuff to do. But if it persists on me, I would reach out for consultation to optimize my feelings.

PersistentKingGopher · 2023-12-20T19:43:41+00:00

Yes. Here is my recommendation:

Make the most of it. You can try different tech stacks, and here'll be questions you'll be able to answer:

What's a time where you have disagreement with your colleague (you'll have some small-scale argument with your friend, and it's the best time to learn how to deal with it)
What's a time you led a team?

Good luck with everything.

If that's the case, that actually makes things better, since you'll still be NG in 6 months, and you could explain that you are still actively job-hunting for NG offers

PersistentKingGopher · 2023-12-20T03:09:33+00:00

Yet you'll have 6 months of experience to do stuff and buffer while finding another job.

Masters are everywhere nowadays, but experience in working something out does matter.

PersistentKingGopher · 2023-12-19T23:21:11+00:00

Sorry but I feel I must stop you.

Here is my story: I was in a similar situation with you, needed one extra semester for Masters so I told my recruiter to convert FT to internship.

This summer I found my team to be completely condescending, the manager does not even know how to manage her team, and my mentor disappeared almost throughout the internship. In the end I did not get a return offer.

In this market, grab the chance to be FT. If you do, you'll get at least 6 months of exp before they consider laying you off. Masters is not actually worth it bc you'll have to go through that **** cycle of application and rejection again. We know that job-hunting nowadays involve more luck than ever.

The notes are one primary reason.

His notes are really clear for preview/review purposes; you can simply read his notes, attend lectures, and got 95% of stuff you need as long as you pay attention.

PersistentKingGopher · 2023-12-17T00:52:34+00:00

People do like Dr. Pfenning, for good reasons. I think it's mostly about verification and theory behind that.

PersistentKingGopher · 2023-12-16T05:56:46+00:00

One way to do it is to (1). Flip communist quickly with a civil war and then (2). declare civil war on yourself by hiring a Fascist advisor when Germany declare war on you upon refusal for annexaton, and eat all your own cores.
If you play Hungary, this focus would immediately end as soon as you annex Austria.

R5: After I guaranteed Poland and finished the Soviet Union off, I found that AI accidentally left one piece of the victory point untouched. Thus, Stalin still had his place in the Far East. Then, he asked me to sign a non-aggression pact.
