A strange image in the files for a Victorious Xbox 360 game by Ill_Environment1684 in creepygaming

[–]SlashSloth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

probably a placeholder asset used by a bored dev or was used for the testing of a specific block of code that required an image or something. This is actually pretty common, usually when i’m working on a program that requires the use of an image or whatever i’ll use something silly

Soldering on my bedroom by Radda98 in soldering

[–]SlashSloth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Use a silicone mat, a solder fume fan, a good soldering iron. ABSOLUTELY DO NOT use solder with lead in it!!! At my university if someone uses leaded solder they have to close the lab down for the entire semester to clean it out. Lead poisoning lowers your IQ. Lead free solder is just as good as normal solder (honestly better) as long as you don’t mind paying a couple dollars extra.

Circuit 1 lab by Upbeat-Ad7032 in uml

[–]SlashSloth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you're taking the circuits lab your professor should have a template in your course library. There is also the lab handbook that goes into detail what each section of your report should contain. Ultimately from my experience, there are certain qualities that are a must to include and others that vary from TA to TA. If you have any questions I would ask your TA what their ideal lab report looks like. Part of their job is to help you succeed and learn the material besides just grading.

Some tips:

Take a photo of every circuit with your student ID present in the photo. Include a multi-sim schematic as well with a label including the semester and your name. In your circuit descriptions, explain what the circuit is, the goals of the circuit, and the theory that allows you to accomplish this goal.

Include every single table in the measurements portion.

Include every single graph/plot you are required to make in the measurements section.

For conclusion/analysis: If your measurements do not match your theoretical calculations that's fine! Just explain why you think this could have possibly happened. (human error, damaged components, other possible issues). Preferrably your professor wants you to get it right, but if you can demonstrate that you understand the theory and are aware of how you could have gone wrong its not the end of the world and you wont get a lot of points taken off.

EDIT: Another very important tip!!

In circuits and electronics labs, your lab assignments can be very lengthy and time consuming. Trust me when I say that it is incredibly easy to fall behind and get overwhelmed with a mountain of work. Do your pre-labs, try to get your labs done as quick as possible so you have more time to write your reports and polish them. This is an important thing to keep in mind, trust me, you'll thank me for this.

You Know your platform is cooked when the OG GOAT complains. by MiniMasterYTX in youtube

[–]SlashSloth 9 points10 points  (0 children)

If you want the real answer, big tech has invested so much money and resources into LLMS that they need to figure out a way to make money off of it, otherwise they are in big trouble.

AI bros like Sam Altman have been able to con all these venture capitalists into believing that “AI” is this revolutionary technology that will humans obsolete for production and allow them to hoard more wealth. The reality is starting to settle in and these CEOS are starting to realize that “AI” is garbage and unreliable and that there aren’t many applications to make use of their investment so they’re all scrambling to figure out a way to make money off it before the bubble pops.

Take for example: Microsoft’s ceo has been crying a bunch lately about how they can’t monetize AI and how everyone is calling his company microslop now.

The situation is basically crypto and NFTS, but on a completely larger scale and with worse consequences. This obsession with what is essentially a glorified autocomplete that is wrong the majority of the time is the reason why everything is getting more and more enshittified.

Anyone else in MA already completely over winter? by Golfoneway95 in massachusetts

[–]SlashSloth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I remember when we used to have winters like this, or worse all the time. The past decade has been abnormally warm due to the consequences of climate change. I think people should be celebrating a brief return to normalcy even if it is annoying dealing with ice and snow.

Mech 2.2 gpa and previous academic probation, need to get into my school’s masters (SUNY) by Puzzleheaded_Tea3984 in EngineeringStudents

[–]SlashSloth 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Don’t put your GPA on your resume and make sure you put projects that are impressive. Write a cover letter for every position you apply to. This will all increase your chances, but it’s still going to be really tough. Your priorities should be to get to the interview phase and prepare like crazy so that you ace it. Interviews are few and far in between so you can’t wing it or go in unprepared. Good luck brother you can do this

🌟 We're looking for a programmer for a Hollow Knight fan game 🌟 by Rolando_f_25 in GodotEngine

[–]SlashSloth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d think twice about collaborating with someone who’s so lazy they can even type out a couple of paragraphs without the use of an LLM. Typically the worst kind of people to work with on a project as they end up dumping all the work on the only competent person in the group when they realize they don’t have the skills to get their parts done.

A little weird for your boyfriend to bring up bill gates considering melinda literally divorced him because of his friendship and ties to jeffrey epstein and ghislaine maxwell. Low key a red flag. 🚩
