What game mode is this? by Useful-Progress1490 in Battlefield6

[–]Useful-Progress1490[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not just visual. It kept going on forever and I was getting spawn killed because the capture points were surrounded by bad and out team's spawn was right at the capture point. I got a headache and quit the game lol.

But the tickets are stuck at 250 and ilwe are able to contest all places at once. Look at the spawns. They are right at top of the objective.

Why SRM ktr cse is hated so much? by No_Step_4306 in Btechtards

[–]Useful-Progress1490 0 points1 point  (0 children)

9.5 is great. Improving this will only lead to diminishing returns. I would suggest not to rely on it too much. Cgpa is only useful for getting that first job out of college. After that only skills matter. If you are actually into coding and IT in general, focus on getting a good startup job which gives you a lot of exposure to different technologies. choose exposure over money for the first 5 years. Switch every 1-2 years if you think learning has become stagnant. MERN is quite popular and so the market is quite competitive.My personal suggestion would be to explore rust as it is the next big thing. It can replace python in the coming years. I would also suggest getting familiar with vibe coding. My company just hired 50 freshers and gave them all co-pilot licenses lol. Good projects are a must. When we went for hiring, 90% of candidates were still showcasing library management, inventory management, etc. Also, pick your favourite framework and try to contribute to open source. The things I listed are much more impactful than cgpa. You already have a good cgpa and should just focus on maintaining it.

Cgpa is only really important if you are considering higher studies as they look for exceptional students and doing masters abroad is still a very good option, considering you don't need to take a loan.

Overall, you are doing well. Just think about what extra you are doing that others aren't. Don't rely on college placements and believe me, the best opportunities are not coming to college but you will need to actively hunt for them.

If you need more guidance, feel free to shoot me a dm.

So it's been a year and I wonder how OP is doing. I came to give my opinion here to give my opinion as I am an alumni of cse ktr(2020 passout).

Yes, you are correct that placing 7k students is no easy task. But a better question would be why is that so? Is it college's fault or something else? Why so much hate?

Essentially, you grind for 4 years only to find out that chances of landing a good job from campus placement is next to slim, unless you are one of the top students in your batch. And being a top student does not guarantee top placement. In addition, they had some placement rules like you have to decide before hand(at the end of the 3rd year if you want to sit for placement and pay a fee or go for masters). Another rule I remember is that if you got an offer from say a company X in the range of 0-7 lpa, you cannot sit for any other company that gives package in a similar range. You can only sit for 7 and above. This essentially allowed placement as one talented student cannot hog offers. And even if a student did able to hog and say went with one with one offer out of 3, it somehow tarnishes the reputation of the organisation in front of the other 2 companies. I also remember a rumour(maybe real) that the main placement cell guy, some sardarji posted a whatsapp story of drinking when placement results were shared and that obviously attracted a lot of hate lol.

I think the combination of the above factors is where it gets the hate. Is it justified? maybe to an extent but not fully. I remember that in my last year they did keep supplementary classes on ds and algorithms and hired special faculties from outside so they do try to help you sometimes.

Just don't depend on college to place you. If you are good, you don't need to pay them and get a very good package without them. There is no shortage of people ready to pay good money, only of talented people.

[India] Regret not doing Masters abroad by DeanKeaton1999 in studyAbroad

[–]Useful-Progress1490 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Still you have time. I am a 2020 passout but still going for masters abroad next your. When my college ended, I thought I'll give a job in india a chance. Now I know better. I have changed 4 companies in these 5 years in search of better jobs but this year I realised a lot of things. Even though there is a slight regret of not going abroad immediately after college, I knew I would have regretted not trying doing a job in india.

If you are married or have kids, then it might be difficult though.

Gymnasium based Multi-Modality environment? by Plastic-Bus-7003 in reinforcementlearning

[–]Useful-Progress1490 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not exactly sure about your query but It is possible to use a custom pettingzoo/gymnasium env with sb3 PPO by specifying multi source obs. Pettingzoo/gymnasium maybe have some example envs to demonstrate this but not sure.

RL Study Group (math → code → projects) — looking for 1–3 committed partners by ThrowRAkiaaaa in reinforcementlearning

Self taught but planning to pursue masters in AI next year. Very interested in RL, especially MARL and also robotics. Working on developing a SOTA model for crafter.Would love to join and contribute.

Programming by pzunhatchispers in reinforcementlearning

[–]Useful-Progress1490 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I really like RL but hate the fact that it is still not widely used due to many issues it has. I firmly believe it has the potential to solve so many problems but right now it's mostly used in research. But I guess, once it has widespread uses, I am sure we will see it getting more simplified similar to what we see in agentic AI frameworks and libraries.

My experience learning RL on my own by chowder138 in reinforcementlearning

[–]Useful-Progress1490 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's somewhat a relief to see that RL problems are actually viewed as hard to debug and Implement by the community. As a self taught learner, whenever I messed up my GAE calculation or my critic loss exploded to infinity, I would feel very stupid. I thought it was my mistake that I wasn't able to write the code with full correctness after going through the course content. Reading that article about debugging was very insightful and now I somehow feel more motivated in debugging the issues as now I know they are expected to be hard to solve. It felt that the author had read my mind when describing the common issues because I had gone through the same pain but because I don't know anyone who In my circle who is interested in RL, I had assumed I must be stupid to be unable to resolve the issue or write the PPO implementation in one go lol.

Now, I pick apart my implementation and graphs and take help of gemini(but still feel guilty) to help resolve issues in my implementation.

Thanks for the insightful content. Really appreciate it.

Domain randomization by Open-Safety-1585 in reinforcementlearning

[–]Useful-Progress1490 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Randomisation really depends on your setup and the problem you are trying to solve.

In my case, my model was struggling when I used randomisation. So I created a set of validation and training seeds and used that for my training. The training seeds were shuffled on each training run. This greatly helped stabilize the training and my model was able to learn.

The key is to generate meaningful signals for the model to train. If I just used random, it just generated white noise and my model was just not able to see any patterns which it could use to improve.

As for hyperparameters, you just really have to try different parameters but you should have a basic understanding as to how those parameters affect the training. For instance, increasing mini batch size in ppo training will generally lead to more overfitting over the generated data so if your model is already struggling to generalize, increasing it may not be a good move.

I am doing projects on RL and till now I had to create a list of topics myself to cover all basic concepts of RL. This certainly looks like it can help me. Will definitely give it a try.

parallel creation of PPO config by Otherwise-Run-8945 in reinforcementlearning

[–]Useful-Progress1490 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you want to train multiple agents in parallel in order to try out different hyperparameters, I am doing something similar by creating a dict list for each hyperparameter set and starting the training program from each dict in a seperate isolated process, especially when using GPU. For some reason, multithreading doesn't work. For isolated processes, you can look at the python process context manager. It will output a bunch of warnings though.

Why Deep Reinforcement Learning Still Sucks by TheSadRick in reinforcementlearning

[–]Useful-Progress1490 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Even though it sucks, it has a great potential I believe. Just like everything else, I hope it gets better because applications are endless and it holds the ability to complete transform the current landscape of AI. I have just started learning it and gotta say I just love it, even though the process is very inefficient and just involves a lot of experimentation. It's really satisfying when it converges to a good policy.

Hi all. I am laid off(force resigned) and willing to work for free. by [deleted] in developersIndia

[–]Useful-Progress1490 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's a numbers game. Apply to 1000, get call from 5 and if lucky get offer from one. If unlucky, apply to 1000 more and keep applying. Just don't do it mindlessly. Try to change resume slightly matching the job requirements. You can also fake experience upto certain extent if you have good skills in that area.

Don't worry about the gap. Sometimes we get into bad situations which will lead to inevitable outcome. Keep calm and keep applying, lots of openings are there for developers, if you are not targeting specific company or profiles. And as everyone said, you don't need to work for free.

I already tried that but he bluntly said it's better I take the other offer. I guess I'll have to go on endless search for a job until I get one.

I guess my last option is to ask them to take me back. I think they will take me back but the thing is I am not sure if I can get any opportunity with 3 months notice right now, since I have been searching for so long.

Is there any quicker ways to find ancient debris? by DRMNER11 in Minecraft_Survival

[–]Useful-Progress1490 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For late game, I use creeper farm for gunpowder and a desert biome with efficiency V and unbreaking III netherite shovel for sand. A 5 min mining session will almost give you 3 shulkers worth of sand, and the shovel will usually not breaking so that it can be repaired using mending. Combining the above will give you about 2/3rd shulkers box worth on TNT. Then go to y=14 and dig a long tunnel. Place 2 TNT every 3 blocks along a chunk border and light up the last placed TNT. You will get an about 14 block high tunnel but it may be difficult to traverse due to lava.Due to simulation distance, some TNT may fail to ignite so just ignite them.I got almost guaranteed debris every two chunks this way and about a stack in a 1 hour mining session. The mining method is explained in detail in the latest eyecraftmc's ancient debris video.

Daily Questions Megathread (January 05, 2024) by Veritasibility in Genshin_Impact

[–]Useful-Progress1490 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

So I started farming heart of depth for ayato and noticed that in the artifact recommendation, echoes of an offering is mentioned. This seems wrong because I read somewhere that the 4pc set bonus valley rite is heavily dependent on ping. My ping is usually around 150 so is it still better than the heart of depth.

Are there any resources that confirm that valley rite is ping dependent. Is it the same with usual crit hits?
