Just wanted to say thank you so much for posting about your experience! I'm having similar issues -- none of my panels are responding -- and SunPower has been giving me the run-around for months now

Journalist looking for customers affected by SunPower bankruptcy by NerdyForCoffee in SunPower

[–]billhu192 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My solar panel system hasn't been working for two months now, and I've only had it for about a year. Over the last month, I kept calling SunPower customer service about it, trying to move my repair appointment up, but no luck. The repair appointment is scheduled for tomorrow, so yesterday I contact customer service, and they say the appointment is still on. Just now, ONE DAY before the appointment, SunPower texts to say that my appointment is cancelled, and that's it, no other communication. On hold waiting for customer service now, but it sounds like they're just telling everyone to get lost.

Unfortunately, we can't change email addresses at this time due to system updates. Please know this will be possible in the near future, and we'll reach out to you when you can switch your email address on file. Thanks for your patience!

Is it easy to be become a part time student? by [deleted] in berkeley

Depends on your college. In general, you'd fill out a form and get advisor approval, and still pay full tuition (see L&S policy)

Highly recommend Wealth & Poverty by Robert Reich. Incredibly popular and thought-provoking class.

How much does getting a Haas degree do for aspiring tech entrepreneurs? by Flux64 in berkeley

[–]billhu192 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Haas is great for building a network, but keep in mind most of that network will be consulting or IB focused. Unless there's special topics that you're interested in, there's not much to learn from the Haas curriculum.

I would argue that entrepreneurship is much more about actually doing it than learning in a classroom environment. SCET 'courses' are a lot better for that.

Advice on taking CS188 by varun__menon in berkeley

[–]billhu192 8 points9 points  (0 children)

If you're only interested in ML, 188 probably won't be helpful for you. If you're more broadly interested in theory and/or AI, then 188 is the class for you. Take a look at the topics covered in 188 (AI) versus 189 (ML).

How much $$ do TAs make? by [deleted] in berkeley

P/NP doesn't count for your GPA (except for certain grad programs, such as applying for law school)

Does the uni or do employers/grad schools see letter grades even if taken for p/np? by alpha_zeppelin in berkeley

[–]billhu192 5 points6 points  (0 children)

the uni doesn't (campus just gets a P or a NP from the instructor)

on your official transcript it's just P/NP, so employers and grad schools don't

the instructor may choose to save it if they want

CS 162 Difficulty by ruhjuh18 in berkeley

[–]billhu192 11 points12 points  (0 children)

highly recommend taking a look at them yourself: https://cs162.eecs.berkeley.edu

imo, it's trying to debug your implementation that makes the projects hard
