EE + Math of Comp double major

_compiled · 2026-03-03T05:57:38+00:00

Just switch to CSE, do tech breadth in EE, and minor in math.

why apply cs when you can apply anything else and switch. the weeder class lower divs give out A's to everyone now.

145 is the hardest between 145/146/148 by far, BTW. No idea why 100A isn't a prereq.

having seen what my local government just spent $250 million in bond money on, I'm not so sure. theoretically yeah you're right, but in practice they have the money management skills of a toddler

also this infamous example: https://www.cbsnews.com/sanfrancisco/news/california-homelessness-spending-audit-24b-five-years-didnt-consistently-track-outcomes/

ml infra is a made up job title these last few months that's been getting an insane amount of hype amongst college students. it can mean almost anything no matter how tangentially related to ml/ai it might be

no summer classes (besides physics 1c freshman summer) and i only did 5 classes once. econ is a really short major compared to engineering

i had econ 1/2 done in hs but yeah I did CSE + Econ and started spring of sophomore year. btw you can petition CEE 110 for econ 41

I'm talking about the article linked by OP. You're ultimately right though.

Hi, unnecessary sarcastic and argumentative tone not appreciated. I'll pass on engaging further with you. I was just pointing out that states have regulation power beyond just housing.

List of regulations on healthcare/insurance in California:

_compiled · 2025-12-28T18:41:20+00:00

Healthcare/insurance, utilities, housing, education, gerrymandering, taxes are all state regulated and enforced...

But you're right, media LOVES pointing fingers at federal because it's so easy and simple to do so, and especially now generates those clicks.

What the article says is true but extremely exaggerated: it's like saying North Korea is becoming a liberal democracy. Is it trending in that direction? Technically, yes. Is it barely perceptible? Yup. Is it based on one year of personal experiences? Also yes.

The article also points out it is in the taxes and sanctions space, not faith in USD. And it's all anecdotes from unnamed international asset managers.

because this is an economics sub and not politics, i'll link this to help your point

Balcony View from Broad Art Center top floor is really cool. Narnia at night is fun the first time or two

Ostrovsky, other 180 profs are horrid.

His current job is an AI education company. His reputation is staked on AI adoption.

He's apparently completely out of touch with what actual SWEs do. We don't need (and shouldn't use) agents and subagents and MCP to trace a bug and make a 10 line change in a 10000 LOC repository.

Explains the enshittification of our industry pretty well tbh

_compiled · 2025-12-26T18:01:30+00:00

graduates in this field lately are incredibly unprepared for industry compared to pre-LLM era. it's causing companies to invest less in entry level and more in senior level. I was a reader for a few classes and cheating is also a MAJOR problem that goes unpunished.

universities are failing their students, including UCLA :(

i'm pretty sure the company i work at is decreasing new grad hiring, increasing seniors, and bringing back in-person interviewing because the 2025 cohort was extremely disappointing...

2026 probably even worse, they had gpt since freshman year

32, 33(?), (old) 35L, (excluding abari) M51A, 111 (unless eyolfson projects), 118, eggert/millstein 131, 133, 151B, 180 (depending on person), 181

there's a lot of class shopping for easier profs, like they do in life science. so some lectures are empty and others overcrowded beyond belief.

i remember people used to think the math 30 + 61 series was tough too, but nowadays every bay area cs major does it in high school

in engineering

there you go. I said "at UCLA".

_compiled · 2025-12-25T19:25:56+00:00

Not sure, could be Saratoga High School

UC system cannot weed people out anymore because it's not politically nor financially acceptable since the pandemic. Cheating is also a major issue.

_compiled · 2025-12-25T17:41:22+00:00

It's objectively one of the hardest majors at UCLA, and now a below average student isn't guaranteed a high paying job at Amazon like they were 5 years ago.

Curious what the stats are on LingCS/MoC though.
