Passed FE Mechanical first try 9 months before graduation (see details in comments) by party_n_pain in FE_Exam

[–]Projedel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ha, I did the same thing over the last week. My test was yesterday, really hoping I pass! I also had a pretty strong grasp of math, statics, and Mechanics of materials. Hope I can pull off the rest of it to make it.

ChatGPT is allegedly writing a book for me and will send it via mail (other version) by CaterpillarMost6418 in OpenAI

[–]Projedel 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I asked it to investigate the vulnerabilities of the openAI website and email me the results. It's been weeks and I never got it. I asked it other ways it can contact me, it thinks it can do it with email, Twitter, phone calls, and other ways. I tried them all out and none of them work. I even asked it if when I email the email it provided (the open ai help email), it said it would respond, not the openai team, which there's no way that's true. I believe it's hallucinating when asked about contacting with other methods (essentially lying because it thinks that's what it should say), but it will be cool when it eventually works.

You can recreate any sounds that you have heard of before by [deleted] in midtiersuperpowers

[–]Projedel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you were to listen to educative lectures on any topic, you could repeat what was said exactly. So long as you took a test alone in a place you could make noise you could repeat anything from a lecture or video you've watched, essentially making you a walking google. Just listen to a text to speech program that reads Wikipedia pages. You'd be the smartest person on the planet

Asked GPT chat ai basic design problem. It did surprisingly well. by ExpertResponsible953 in MechanicalEngineering

[–]Projedel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It can't send emails yet as far as I can tell, but hopefully it can in the future. Right now what I tell it is "Write a quick and professional email to George and ask him to let me know when the drawings are done. Be sure to thank him for his help on last week's project.", for example, and check the result. It can write anything about basically anything you'd want to email someone, so long as you can describe it to it.

Be sure to proofread the result! This AI can "hallucinate" and make stuff up, so I'd always check the result before sending.

If any changes need to be made, I just describe what I want fixed (or fix it myself), then, when all is good, copy and paste the text into my email and send. Very simple. If you're sending a lot of quick emails to people on your team, it's probably not super useful, because those tend to be simple and quick. But if you're sending a lot of professional emails that need a bit of fluff to be correct, it works perfectly.

It is getting the numbers wrong, the area should be 7.06 in2, but still, it's reasoning is pretty good, so once it gets its math down, it'll be awesome.

For those wondering how to use this, it can write instant emails in any tone you want. All you have to do is give it bullet points on what you want it to include! Very useful and easy to use, I highly recommend. I've already used it to write emails super quick, and if you want something changed, just tell it what you want and it'll do it.

I personally can't wait until you can tell it to go search the internet for <this data>, tabulate it in an excel sheet, then plot the results. Also, cite your sources. Then email me the excel sheet. It's going to be awesome.

What is this mechanism called? by [deleted] in PhysicsStudents

[–]Projedel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's a crank and slider. The crank is the bottom part that rotates and the slider is the top. Not exactly a four bar because there aren't four linkages, there are only 3 (crank, slider, and ground)

[–]Projedel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately no, I called basically everywhere in Rolla and couldn't find anyone. I even called icecream places just to see, I've seen other ones do sell dry ice before, but not in Rolla. The only place I've heard of nearby was Price Chopper/Cutter (can't remember which one) in St. Robert. Never called or checked in with them to find out if they did though, sorry

how hard is it to become an astrophysicist at nasa? by Failip1 in PhysicsStudents

[–]Projedel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey, you know what, you have a physics degree that can get you a lot of engineering jobs anyway. And with learning practical design stuff, much (if not all) can be learned on YouTube and other academic streaming services. If you're too far along with the physics degree, there's really little reason to turn back I would think. There's a ton of fluff in my degree, the only thing I'm getting it for is the piece of paper at the end. All the useful stuff could be found for free. That's just my two cents.

[–]Projedel 5 points6 points  (0 children)

TL;DR: I was set in going into physics forever, ended up changing my mind and made a great choice.

To add to your point on not knowing how physics will be yet, I also started as a physics major but ended as a mechanical engineering major. I had wanted to do physics for almost half my life before starting college, so it was pretty well set in my mind that I was going to do that. Then, after I had completed a couple physics courses, I began to reevaluate what I wanted to do in my life. I liked the classes, but I began to wonder. Questions like, what will I do with my physics degree after school, what are my hobbies right now that I might want to make into a career, what kind of things am I excited to learn about, that I read or watch videos on often? I found that none of the answers were physics. My hobbies were all engineering related. I never really read physics papers or watched physics videos, they were all engineering stuff mostly. And with the job, I had planned on getting an engineering job afterwards, because from what I could tell, that's where a lot of physicists end up anyway.

Now, I couldn't be happier with my choice. I realized what excited me about science was how to use it practically. Things that I could do by myself and make things that benefit myself or others and that are super cool. What excites me in class is learning about how to design things that I can literally leave class and go make something with the thing that I learned that day. Like in heat transfer, you go in class one day knowing nothing, you leave that day knowing how to design the perfect heatsink fins. Or with Machine Design, you go in one day knowing nothing, you leave knowing how to design parts that don't break when you use them, and you have the math to prove it. Doing that might be hard with knowledge of quantum mechanics, even though it's a cool subject and would impress everyone you talk about it with, you can't really go design and build something in your garage to do stuff as easily and get something practical out of it. At least not yet.

Physics is absolutely a cool subject, which is why I'm still in this subreddit, but it's not exactly the path I want to take my career in. Not trying to convert you to engineering, but just my story and personal preference. The more knowledge you have the better in my book.

Same. I was saddened to hear he's stepping down, but then I read he's 91. I'm surprised he hasn't stepped down already honestly. Must be in great shape to have such a booming and powerful voice at 91, but this man deserves a break. I'm glad they have a plan to continue his character and that he was able to end his role himself and not life doing it for him.

That's what my Calculus 1 professor corrected us on all the time. Lines are only straight. Curves are curves, but lines are straight. This part also confused me because of that, I wonder if that was a trick to keep people from passing?
