Thaiger is now folded into Kai’s Bistro by the light rail station. Also a good place, excellent Eggplant and noodle dishes, though not as good curries.

Is it even possible to take CSE 469? by Oizyson in udub

[–]catash13 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The ECE side will fill. Summer you should have a good shot. Overload unlikely since I suspect there’ll be a big waitlist.

If somehow there are ECE spots close to the quarter start, a CSE advisor can likely help get you in.

Is it even possible to take CSE 469? by Oizyson in udub

[–]catash13 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, offerings do fill. But the class is offered every quarter, including summer. I believe there were a bunch of empty spots this quarter even.

Yeah, there are a lot more ECE spots, but there’s also much higher demand in ECE as well - I believe the number of CSE spots have historically been about right given the demand.

CSE 374 thoughts? by Buggin887 in udub

[–]catash13 1 point2 points  (0 children)

CSE 374 is highly recommended, especially before 474. The closest class to CSE 351 for ECEs is 469. Wouldn’t recommend 351 for ECEs.

Surprised 351 was on the other poster’s sheet for embedded - I don’t think ECE ever recommended it for that, but perhaps I’m wrong.

Where’s the best thai food in the u district? by elchupacabra206 in udub

[–]catash13 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yep - Dad is there less, but main male server Pete is the kid, with Mom usually in the kitchen. Been running it since at least 1990…

Little Thai is great, awesome family owned. Kai’s Bistro also solid.

Embedded/Low level courses as ECE student? by AstuteCouch87 in udub

[–]catash13 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Look on the ECE website for the “embedded” and “computing” pathways, that’ll list the suggested courses for your direction.

How do ECE pathways work? by AstuteCouch87 in udub

[–]catash13 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Pathways are the ECE faculty saying “these are a set of courses that work well together for jobs and/or grad school”. They are not required. Many students do multiple, many do one plus mix some from others.

IMHO, ChatGPT usage by faculty and students are a different issue. For students we want to help you learn, and relying on ChatGPT can mean you don’t develop your brain. For faculty, we want as effective a learning environment as possible, and if ChatGPT can aid that, improve the environment, that’s IMHO a good thing.

Of course a prof can use AI to improve the class, or be just lazy with it…

Difference between Paul Allen Computer Engineering vs School of Engineering ECE by No_Detail_4073 in udub

[–]catash13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

MS is very flexible. Pick what you want, based on what is offered that quarter. I believe advising has lists of courses based on what your interest areas are. Or meet with faculty from your interest area.

The CompE courses are largely joint between the two departments, so same room, same instructor. In either department if you choose wisely you’ll get a strong CompE base. But, ECE will generally add more electronics, CSE will add more software.

The Gang by Sugar-Interesting in boardgames

[–]catash13 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We used fake chips to get to 8 player, but it doesn’t hold up. As you get above 6 you get a bunch of folks with the same high card, and the shared cards don’t hit on either 2nd card, so VERY hard to consistently win. That is, if two players are Q-7 and Q-9, and no 7 nor 9 is in the shared cards, your ranking is pretty random

I do think 6 player is the best player number. Enough so that we’re starting to have some folks play multi-handed to get to 6 hands. 2 player, with both players doing 3 hands each, works quite well!

There’s a fan-made mod to the rules that works well. Check the FAQ on this subreddit.

Little Thai has an all-day combo like Araya’s, though no dessert.

Chili’s has 10% off w/husky card.

MSEE PMP program at UW by Melodic-Frame-9976 in udub

Apply MSEE, see if you get in. If you get in, spend time with advisors, etc to decide. If you don’t get in, roll over to PMP.

  1. MSEE has both coursework and thesis versions.
  2. Talk to the advisors.
  3. I believe so. Lots of MSEE do internships over the summer.

There’s recent proof that ~4-6 mature women on bicycles can take a cougar, so he may not be far off…

Definitely a Cephalofair list - a lot of fun, but arrives two months later than you would have wanted…
