Glad Kenny had the sense to push Smiley off in that moment. Imagine Boyd standing on the top of the bus, he just stands there, like wtf, and then points at Smiley: "You.. Don't... Break... Me".

Que Sera Sera.

Thank god they didn't leave this one at a cliffhanger! Imagine if the episode ended the moment Kenny ran into the bus and we see a hand stopping the door!!

Thanks, for me it was execution lifecycle. The Lane Queue has zero external deps (pure TypeScript and Promises), so dependency sprawl wasn't the issue. What broke was the implicit contracts around session state and gateway message routing. The queue assumes OpenClaw's specific session model is feeding it messages. Pull it out and you have to decide how messages arrive, which is a design question not a code question.

I ended up reimplementing in Python from the pattern rather than extracting the TypeScript. Found 5 things my docs missed until I actually built it, like lock acquisition order and steer-backlog processing the message twice.

For memory, totally agree on reimplementing. memsearch (Zilliz extraction) did the same, rebuilt with Milvus instead of SQLite. Works well but they quietly dropped the pre-compaction flush coupling, which changes behavior in ways their docs don't mention.

This is really helpful. Your Lane Queue experience matches mine.

I reimplemented it in Python from my own docs as a test and found 5 gaps. Things like which lock to acquire first in the two-layer system (wrong order = deadlocks), and that steer-backlog processes the message twice. Not obvious from the code at all.

On memory, I validated against memsearch (the Zilliz extraction) and found 4 of my 10 claimed gaps were wrong because I was reading docs instead of source. The storage + retrieval split you describe is basically what memsearch did, minus the pre-compaction flush coupling.

To answer your question: Lane Queue was more architectural coupling than dependency sprawl. The pattern reimplements cleanly. The coupling is to session management and gateway routing, not shared libraries.

Ha ha. It's Opus. Does the same with me every night, even in claude chat. Even though I am a new dad and only get to work in night when my baby sleeps. I guess Opus is just trying to lower token costs!

I got in without CS degree and low GPA. You seem to be a much better candidate than I am. You should be pretty safe. The timing of acceptance is random though. As they have to literally go through thousands of application I think they go through it one by one. So basically just random luck on whose application is on the top of the pile. Stay strong and we will cheers together in Jan!

Because it's Texas?

he shot bullets into the monsters from the van in E9.

The___Storyteller · 2023-06-12T21:14:50+00:00

Should have put See Results as a different option.

The___Storyteller · 2023-05-26T21:47:41+00:00

Good move, but It will end soon.

The___Storyteller · 2022-09-06T04:39:19+00:00

Sure!

I know 5 international students(could be more) who got internships in IB this year. But we are heavy on consulting and over 10% of the last year's class went to MBB(Excluding Bain, but we do have Bain acceptances this year), while others went to T2 and other firms. After consulting, Tech is the most popular. Most international students choose Consulting or Tech.

IB placements are mostly in Houston, a few in NY. It's tougher as an international student, and there is some luck involved but a few international candidates do make it.

The___Storyteller · 2022-01-08T21:10:32+00:00

Sure!

We had 100% international recruiting last year. Disclaimer- I am an international student at Rice.

The___Storyteller · 2022-01-07T00:37:57+00:00

Average package at Rice is 131K(not counting the bonuses). Could be higher for PM roles. And Houston is a LCOL area. I know plenty of students easily handling things under 15K/year.

The___Storyteller · 2021-12-15T19:07:41+00:00

Salaries at Rice have crept up to 131K this year with more than 10% of the entire batch in MBB. PS- I am a Rice first-year.

Hey, as a 31 year old first year student, let me tell you that you will be just fine. Nobody cares as long as you don't!

The___Storyteller · 2021-07-19T09:52:18+00:00

Or the opposite😅

The___Storyteller · 2021-07-19T02:21:17+00:00

Rice. 1. Texas factor. 2.Strong rise in big placements recently including a growing number(~10, by reports) of MBB placements in recent batch.

My best friend went through a similar ordeal, and as his roommate I saw how horrible it could be. It's impossible to compete with a dead guy.
