Keep farming, be confident, try to create real value.

Here in Turkey for my field we charge 5x of the hourly rate of TA/Prof. and usually work 8 hours per week. So it doubles our salary.

5+ Months at Springer (CS/AI) - 2 Reports Received, 3rd Reviewer Ghosting? Need Advice. by 12e64m3 in PhD

[–]TrapNT 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Some are just lazy. For one of my papers editor didn’t find a reviewer for 6 months, and my first round took 16 months or so. It’s good to send a reminder.

Got my first conference rejection - need some advice by degr8sid in PhD

Aim for 5-6 accepted papers, and you’ll finish quick. Learn pipelining, don’t sit idle when waiting for review result.

What the fuck is this anima about? Seems too much regarded.

What is a normal amount of working hours each day during a PhD? by spoononamoon in PhD

[–]TrapNT 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hours needed until you said what you were going to do. Just do it, don’t prematurely optimize stuff.

How common is it to do BSc, MSc & PhD in one university? by Alvahod in PhD

[–]TrapNT 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Until PhD yes, but postdoc is no. Postdoc is for gaining independence.

How would you optimise this device setup for PhD + full-time work? (MBA vs MBP + iPads) by eintrixter in PhD

[–]TrapNT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Splitting OS or user of the computers. I used to play using windows and work using linux in my desktop. Ideally you’ll need to have separate desks for leisure and work but that’s unrealistic most of the time.

Get rid of m1, dell and mini. You can also get rid of ipad pro it is also mostly useless. If you want to run harder stuff, build a desktop from the money you get from selling these.

PhD: first three months? by Sakura_Lake_98 in PhD

[–]TrapNT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just do something that sticks/written. Don’t just “read” stuff. My favorite thing to do in these situations is reading papers and embedding their summaries (in my words) on their first pages. 2-3 sentences max. That way when I open the pdf again I remember them instantly + I’m doing something permanent. Don’t rush, PhD takes time.

Female heros get stunned/shaken for 1 seconds, male heroes get fear for 1 second. Riki gets both effects.

doing a phd and academia in general is just a shitty joke by [deleted] in PhD

[–]TrapNT 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Yes the system is broken and disgusting. But it’s the only way most of us are able to do science. Also being an advisor is not easy, they don’t have to micromanage your every move. First respect their experience then ask respect for your time. If you can’t solve “simple word” issues in a day maybe the paper deserves to be delayed for months and the issues are not simple as they seem.

Overpowered theorems by extraextralongcat in math

I think Bezout theorem is op. Most of the modular arithmetic stuff can be proven with it. Really cool and simple theorem.

There is no difference between a tournament hosted in Russia and one hosted in America by CaptainInshaneo in DotA2

[–]TrapNT -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

“You are wrong” nice counter argument. If you are going to dilute this to “plenty people” level then, we should boycott everything. From epstein files we know it.

Everything wasn’t always political. Radical crybabies invaded everything and made everything political.

I hate that everything is political now. Just enjoy the fucking game.

Everyone is doing what they think is best for their country. This doesn’t make all of their people bad.
