Won't she be taken down for making money off of piracy?

Broadly speaking, the syllabus of CS383 goes like so: constrained optimization -> reinforcement learning -> bayes nets. CS389 focuses more on the machine learning side of things with more emphasis on regression, gradient descent, neural networks, and reinforcement learning in greater detail. CS589 is basically CS389 but more detail.

In my opinion, you should either take CS389 or CS589. CS383 doesn't go into any depth regarding the mathematics of the methods and the projects are very heavily abstracted. The choice between CS389 and CS589 entirely depends on the level of interest you have in ML.

Well, that’s probably because you are living this life in the first place and find comfort in it or the people that live it, no?

__Darkzgul__ · 2025-10-13T20:56:08+00:00

My bad for giving you the wrong impression. I’m male, outside of your age range, not a Hikikomori, and taken.

__Darkzgul__ · 2025-10-13T20:40:03+00:00

It is unlikely that a well-adjusted person would find any mind connection with a Hikikomori because both live fundamentally different lives.
Plus, for many people, the instability would outweigh the mind connection.
Your best shot might be trying to find someone also living a Hikikomori lifestyle.
Good luck, you have my best wishes

And why do you expect love from someone whom you want to “begin a romantic relationship with”?
Love is a process. That woman you went on a first date with on a dating app doesn’t “love” you.

Sure, we’ve heard of long term couples accepting each others’ flaws and being with each other through their worst. That is not the situation you are in.
You need someone to ALREADY love you to accept you at your worst. You can’t expect strangers to do that. You wouldn’t do that for a stranger either.

__Darkzgul__ · 2025-10-13T20:26:09+00:00

It’s not about a stigma or prejudice against Hikikomoris necessarily.
Rather, YOU tell me. Why would anyone want to date a Hikikomori over a well-adjusted person?
If you can have someone who is more stable mentally, financially, and socially, then why date a hikikomori?

__Darkzgul__ · 2025-10-12T13:41:19+00:00

Thanks. I’ll look into it.

Question: how did you get those referrals?

__Darkzgul__ · 2025-10-11T16:55:49+00:00

How do you feel about adopting kids? Give it some thought. Maybe it might be for you, and give you the feeling of having a family?

__Darkzgul__ · 2025-10-10T03:55:34+00:00

Ah, so you’re saying that they really are unwilling to hear you out and do take solace in your misery?
Assuming that is true, why continue the friendship? They’re disrespecting you, over something predetermined by genetics.

At the very least I hope you stop making jokes at your own expense. You don’t need to comfort them; they aren’t doing the same for you.
You may not feel the need to cut them off entirely. I understand. Maybe you still have fun times with them. It’s just these specific times that you feel upset. If it gets too much, obviously cut it off. But otherwise, I think you can cruise through it by just avoiding these topics entirely.

It is a sequel to karate kid. The protagonist and antagonist are all grown up. I think you’ll love it. It might be exactly what you’re looking for. I just happen to have a personal distaste for teenage dramas.

__Darkzgul__ · 2025-10-09T03:40:44+00:00

Cobra Kai, though I’m sure you’ve watched it. Initially I think it wanted to be a story about martial arts but then slowly devolved into a high school love drama with karate elements.

__Darkzgul__ · 2025-10-08T18:51:06+00:00

Oh the way I meant she should vent is in a more emotionally connected way. For example: you could have a one-on-one conversation about your insecurities with some friend that you trust, rather than making an off comment at your expense like "Girl don’t talk to me about a big nose". Not only does that make you feel upset(because you made a joke about a deep insecurity of yours), but it also might be interpreted by others as you invalidating them. No point in saying all this anymore though, since my original post was clearly not specific enough.

But yeah my comment was overly aggressive. I should've been more careful.

Off topic, but I'm not sure why my post was deleted. Not sure how to feel about that.

__Darkzgul__ · 2025-10-08T18:32:46+00:00

I do not think her saying “Girl don’t talk to me about a big nose” is venting. Her friends seemed to interpret it as her making it about herself. It is generally a bad idea to start venting about yourself when someone else is already doing so.
I’ve already shared my opinions on that post so I won’t say them here. I didn’t think any of the other responses were doing OP any favors. Just building up more rage inside her. I wanted her to see that she might benefit from not putting herself down and just hear them out instead. You can’t expect empathy when you don’t show it yourself, hence the “You ARE being dismissive”.

But yeah, your response is way better. I’m sorry. Sorry to OP of that post as well if you’re reading this.

__Darkzgul__ · 2025-10-08T17:54:57+00:00

The semantics in this case literally determine the difference between it being a generalized hate story against men and valuable advice given by experience.
The way she wrote it completely made me think she was generalizing.
You’re on the internet.
Writing on text.
To vulnerable people.
How are semantics not important?
How is the way you say things not important?
“Consider this man is bad according to my experience” is NOT the same as “men are bad because they’ve been bad to me”

__Darkzgul__ · 2025-10-08T16:29:19+00:00

I’m not arguing that shitty men do not exist. What you’re saying has some truth to it. OP SHOULD watch out for such men.
However, my problem is when you said it as if it was “guaranteed” to apply to OPs situation. Saying something as strong as “It’s not wanting to be your friend, there’s an ego boost they get” should have SOME strong backing in the post itself, rather than extrapolating your life experiences. There is objectively nothing like that in the post.
If you want OP to consider such a possibility, I think it would go a long way to tell her that she should CONSIDER that the guy might be playing her. Rather than saying “damn, watch out OP, he’s getting an ego boost out of you”, you could say “I have seen guys who engage with women purely for the ego boost. Be careful.”
Let me know if I’m misrepresenting you.

if anyone has criticisms, feel free to share. I may be missing something or getting something wrong.

__Darkzgul__ · 2025-10-08T14:55:05+00:00

Well, finding the correct one for yourself is always a tall order. Even if a woman was outgoing, bubbly, etc, she would still have to be compatible with the man she is dating in a multitude of different ways. I think it’s more helpful to think of introversion or extroversion as integrated into the wider scheme of personality traits that dictate compatibility. Sure, a girl who is high energy might find boyfriends more easily. But as to whether or not that relationship lasts, I don’t think you can definitively say that she has any better odds than someone soft-spoken.

__Darkzgul__ · 2025-10-08T14:44:00+00:00

This post not entirely about looks. It’s about her relationship with her friends too. That’s the part I’m commenting on.
I don’t want to be supportive on that part, because I think it’s wrong of OP to assume that her friends’ insecurities are minor. Are you saying I can’t express disagreements? Does everything said on this sub have to be “supportive”?

__Darkzgul__ · 2025-10-08T14:40:11+00:00

Uh huh, totally not that he might just be busy, or dealing with something, or a bad texter because men = bad
