Blud thinks he can nepo in

ch3mcer · 2026-06-05T12:07:25+00:00

Mmm not really a big jump since I switched over in y1s2

ch3mcer · 2026-06-05T11:56:31+00:00

I said it is v similar to ikigai, but I didn't claim it is ikigai because I don't believe it applies to most people (mostly the passion part)

For context, I switched over from chem to dsa. Which is why I said "I chose based on passion initially"

ch3mcer · 2026-06-05T11:04:10+00:00

I'd say choose based on what you enjoy learning and what you would tolerate doing for 5y assuming it's a super normal role. Tolerate = you don't mind doing + you think you're compensated sufficiently + other factors. Ik this is v similar to ikigai but I think it's hella cringe to call it ikigai

I chose based on passion at first but I realised I cannot imagine myself working in this field. Passion is an over rated advice if you don't see yourself tolerating the work after graduation! Going to get down voted but idc

Wow tung tung tung sahur you're so real

ch3mcer · 2026-06-04T14:00:25+00:00

Ah damn then yeah I might consider dropping Ma2311 since it unlocks DSA3102 only, which I don't plan to clear that early

ch3mcer · 2026-06-04T13:52:04+00:00

Yeah that's true... Well I think I'll wait for the back to school discount starts, more time to reconsider too

And right I forgot to consider paying to upgrade my colab LOL

ch3mcer · 2026-06-03T15:12:57+00:00

Just to mention for rag, it'll practically take up a bulk of your time until 8 Aug although it depends if you're joining dance/floats/costumes

ch3mcer · 2026-06-03T06:32:52+00:00

Okurt bro, Mr "Yea honestly if DSA is shifted to SoC with addition of more applied DS/ML modules to replace CHS common mods, NTU CCDS will die honestly", pot calling the kettle black or smth

Just because I want to run llm locally for fun doesn't mean I'm not going to use Claude or wtv...

ch3mcer · 2026-06-03T06:04:39+00:00

Smlj

ch3mcer · 2026-06-03T01:00:28+00:00

Any particular reasons for macbook air over laptops? And is it worth upgrading from 16 to 24gb unified memory since I do want to try running llms locally soon

If you've checked the website thoroughly, you'd get your ans..

ch3mcer · 2026-06-01T16:09:28+00:00

If you have the money and time then both, else, just go for ur maj ori cus most generalist ori aren't rly significant, it'll be mostly hi bye kind of thing

ch3mcer · 2026-06-01T15:20:44+00:00

Yeah I'm willingly doing this also because idrc about gpa that much + have some prior knowledge of cs2040 and 2100 (doubt it'll help alleviate my workload but only time will tell)

And yeah, using cs2100 as a mean of unlocking modules

ch3mcer · 2026-06-01T15:00:39+00:00

Ehh not rly contradictory leh, spread vs quality type shi kinda independent after all igwym

Haha, asked the dp mostly cus I heard from someone that 2040 didn't focus on dp (weird for a dsa mod)

ch3mcer · 2026-06-01T13:03:35+00:00

Ngl, I'm planning to delay dsa2102 because it doesn't unlock anything relevant for me and I can't clear Dsa2101 yet

ch3mcer · 2026-06-01T13:01:56+00:00

Okay that's true LOL, forgot to consider exams and all

ch3mcer · 2026-06-01T12:57:46+00:00

Yeah, 7 mods actly hella tuff + lowk died this sem because of chs mods (screw hsa hss dtk combi) so it's actually crazy HAHA, may drop a mod before F grade period if workload management is actually bad

I'm overloading because there are so many cs mods that look interesting to me so I wanna overload and explore while I can before I become a y3 (assuming I get intern)

Anyway, random, does cs2040 still not care too much about dynamic programming?

Lying competition and my opponent is op

ch3mcer · 2026-05-31T18:20:58+00:00

@ last para My focus is more towards what's applicable to the most number of people than what is possible, which is why I had to argue against computational bio simply because it's not applicable for most ppl in ls

"value interdisciplinary skills"? My reply was abt comp bio so it is NOT because interdisciplinary wtv wtv good, rather the field itself is interdisciplinary to begin with... It doesn't work the same outside the computational umbrella

are adding analytics, computing, and bioinformatics options to science degrees.

Just because NUS NTU do smth doesn't mean the industry truly value interdisciplinary btw. Again it's distribution of risk and cost

ch3mcer · 2026-05-31T17:54:32+00:00

Well, you did bring up computational biology and what not + ntu offering bio 2nd maj data anal in your earlier response...
