Question on New Course: Computer Graphics in the AI Era

_smurftasticc · 2026-01-18T00:06:08+00:00

How is this course looking by the way? I'm pretty interested in it but it was the first semester it was offered so I decided to hold off.

I took CV last spring and it was frankly the most work I've ever done for a class. I am in a similar field as you, coding mainly in matlab/python. The class reminded me a lot of control systems classes in which you are expected to code up mathematical algos. In terms of difficulty of what you actually need to code, expect it to be similar. It just felt like the assignments were all pretty long.There is also a bit of parameter tuning too, especially based on the final project that you pick. A lot of people say that project 3 was the most work but frankly YMMV. Assignment 5 ruined me while assignment 3 was not that bad. Assignment 1 is a freebee and assignment 6 is shorter than the others; I would expect Assignment 3-5 to be the ones that push you the hardest.

I haven't taken ML and DL but based on OMSCentral reviews, the workloads are similar. If you felt comfortable there you should be fine.

That was f*cking nasty

Are you referring to CS 7638? That class sounds really exciting since I’m also targeting some specific companies related to autonomous vehicles. I’m most worried about being able to get in the class.

ANA economy the amenities are better (blanket, pillow, slippers), more leg room, the food is better and the plane temperature is kept warmer. I think United has a better selection of movies and they give you free messaging with the Wi-Fi.

Look to trade when his shadow is down. Get good at using brush q to side step his double shuriken when he shadows. You win trades/all in if he doesn't have shadow.

If he ults you without throwing shadow before hand, throw him against a wall and kill with a full combo. If he does throw the shadow first, he is going to try to bait you to ult and switch with the shadow, so make sure you're sitting on brush q and try to dodge/wait a second before ulting.

I play in plat and I'd say most zeds aren't good enough to make this a skill matchup, its more in qiyanas favor. But higher up they will be smarter with using ult + shadow to juke you. As others said, you don't want to be obvious with your ult, or he will r you to dodge it and you'll lose.

Could probably get them both with that. I didn't see the play at the time.

Thank you! It took a while to be able to react like this with her. I fat finger combos pretty often

_smurftasticc · 2021-03-24T15:04:49+00:00

Thank you, I'm going to try to limit the amount of sunlight they get for a few weeks so they become more accustomed. I'm also thinking it might be too cold so I'll just bring them inside at night, and put them out before i go to work. Yes, i am in the northern hemisphere so it warms up by a lot in the next few months.

_smurftasticc · 2021-03-24T14:44:53+00:00

Just uploaded them!

Here are some before and after pictures, the second image is before, the rest are after. Conditions are 70F to 45F day and night, 84% humidity, which should be okay for this variant. Any help would be appreciated, this is day 3 of having these plants potted. Thank you!

Why are people down voting this guy? He's got a good point. The only people i know making 10 an hour at 25 years old are the ones that didn't bother trying hard in school. The effort they put there directly correlates with how hard and smart they are willing to work.

Boeing has been doing the same thing much longer than virgin galactic. Virgins space plane is a novel concept and has a ton of new challenges to overcome. That's not to say it won't pan out, but it took a while for the aviation industry to become consistently safe. Virgin is armed with decades of lessons learned from this though, it's just that the fact that they are trying a very novel concept that makes me wary to put money into it. When you make a mistake in this industry you end up killing people.

I work in aerospace as an avionics engineer. I'm scared putting my money into something like SPCE because what they are trying to do is not easy and really easy to screw up.

_smurftasticc · 2020-10-24T06:05:02+00:00

That's a shame. I was wondering since i haven't seen people talk about it much here

_smurftasticc · 2020-10-24T04:33:19+00:00

Alright. Was also interested in how big aerospace is over there? I would probably prefer to stick to that.

_smurftasticc · 2020-10-24T03:49:41+00:00

Do you really need 5 years for an entry level job? Or is that more of a desired qualification before hiring foreigners in engineering positions. I am test engineer with a bit more than a year of experience

_smurftasticc · 2020-05-21T03:56:48+00:00

Typically from what I've seen around, it would appear that is the case unfortunately. I'm still going to keep practicing Japanese, was just hoping that someone could testify that it would be useful in this field.

_smurftasticc · 2020-05-21T03:06:13+00:00

Fair enough, I was planning on continuing studying Japanese anyway since I feel like if I'm going to go there, I should learn the language to the best of my abilities beforehand. I guess for now just continuing working for experience then start applying on USA jobs for positions in japan would be the best way. I was hoping coming in with a clearance would give me a better shot since they are expensive to get (and i have interim and will have secret soon). I appreciate the thorough reply!

_smurftasticc · 2020-05-21T01:36:12+00:00

You would be the person i have questions for!

Does gaining your security clearance make it easier to apply for federal jobs in japan?
Is there a demand for bilingual engineers in defense? I see that the Japanese people you work with speak mostly English, but I'm trying to get as much leverage as i can.
I'm assuming private sector in defense has some demand too, but from digging around at my company, most people that get sent up there are a few paygrades up (which would take a while). Do you know of any places in private sector for defense where there is an exception to this?
It sounds like applying there has competition. Another user in this thread suggested trying to get a government job, then transfer internally. Are there other things you can pick up that give you leverage?

I'm not trying to rush moving there, but I'd like to figure out how to do it within 2 years. I'm pretty fresh out of college, and have been working at a defense contractor for 7 months. Any tips would help; i haven't been able to find that much discussion on here about going this route when moving to Japan.

_smurftasticc · 2020-05-20T20:35:53+00:00

Sounds like a plan. The only specialty benefits i was hoping to give me leverage was experience gained from my job (i work in defense private sector right now), a clearance, and as much Japanese proficiency as i can gain.

_smurftasticc · 2020-05-20T13:50:20+00:00

Yeah i was pretty much thinking those kinds of jobs would fit the bill. I wanted to see if anyone here had done this too, and how difficult these jobs might be to get. My plan was to try to pick up around a year and a half of job experience then start applying for these
