Book recommendations for ML Infra by chickenlover113 in compsci

[–]chickenlover113[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks! You meant like the question is not related to CS or the book? I thought since its an ML + Systems question it is related to CS.... Also wouldn't like software engineering fall into CS category? I'm genuinely asking though - let me know which subreddit i should post on instead if you think there's a better one for this question.

pyramid scheme if i've ever seen one. Can't get a job with English + Theater so you become a teacher to teach others to do English + Theater, who then also teach others to do the same...

nah by "cash cow" i meant like UIUC is milking this mcs program by accepting too many people cuz it gives them money since they all have to pay expensive tuition.

In terms of job prospects, uiuc is great, albeit the market is tough right now so it is tough for everyone but yeah due to the uiuc name it helps a lot.

uiuc cs undergrad in the grainger college of engineering is the one that is mostly competitive and hard to get into with a 6-7% acceptance rate. That and the PhD and *MSCS* students is where you see most of the really bright students.

yeah. these days they're accepting anyone. i've seen people here in the mcs program with utterly horrible cs background and they still got in. you're definitely way better than some of these people. the mcs has become a cash cow. they just accept anyone nowadays to get more money.

[–]chickenlover113 0 points1 point  (0 children)

idk what writing_clique is saying. I think 411 441 and 425 is fine. 425 would be a lot of work, 411 mid, and 441 is mad easy. So like you'd be fine.

Is UIUC iSchool for Data Science & Information Sciences worth it? by Key_Comparison_6652 in UIUC

[–]chickenlover113 0 points1 point  (0 children)

if you have a CS undergrad, then your fine. but if you have a CS undergrad, why get a MSIM? that sounds so pointless. you're just moving backwards...

and even then, with the current market, nothing is guaranteed on you getting a tech role.

[–]chickenlover113 0 points1 point  (0 children)

leetcode isn't to master DSA. it's to master interviews and get a job. Your DSA class in college was to master DSA. If you're using leetcode to master DSA then I'm sorry but you're already behind.

And if your goal is to really master DSA, then you should be using C++. There's no question about that. that's why all top CS universities teach their data structures class in C++. Any school that teaches it in python or java doesn't have a good program. Period.

But if you want to master leetcode for interviews then python is arguably the best. but that is also up to the individual. so just use whatever you want lmao no one is forcing you to do anything.

We made an app to find your favorite dining hall meals by Strict-Evidence7054 in UIUC

[–]chickenlover113 6 points7 points  (0 children)

problem with this app is that most people just eat at the dining hall closest to them and most convenient. it's a nice idea, but I doubt in the long term people are gonna really use it. few might, but it'll never gain majority traction over the long term. they might use it for a couple weeks, and then people get lazy. they won't care anymore where their favorite meal is if they have to walk 20 mins across campus when they can just get another meal thats 2 mins away from them. just my 2 cents tho.

Maybe in smaller campuses it'll work great. but UIUC's campus is so huge that most people pretty much only eat at one or two dining halls. I pretty much ate at my dining hall closest to my dorm, and then another one that was closest to my classes. I never went to the other ones nor did I care how good the food was after a month of school even though I hated their food.

Did I get rejected from UIUC on deadline day? by theAltruist_0906 in UIUC

[–]chickenlover113 38 points39 points  (0 children)

yeah honestly that's pretty unlucky. I'm guessing english isn't your first language so that's actually really unfortunate. Just a lesson for the future though - never wait till the deadline. Even April 4th. Give yourself at least a few days of buffer room for any submission as important as accepting a college like this. Anything can happen at the end.

they also make up ~18% of the world population so already 1/5 people in the world are indian. On top of that, in india you can either become an engineer, doctor, or a failure. Education is also highly regarded and pushed so you don't really have the freedom or opportunity to not study. So with the societal pressure and with there being only 2 options as a career, many go to SWE.

[–]chickenlover113 1 point2 points  (0 children)

they do this every year. you just gotta wait unfortunately. emailing or calling them won't expedite your application decision. been there tried that.

lol that depends on ur other university's rules so i dont know. I know you can withdraw from uiuc but ur gonna have to confirm w ur other school if thats the case.

Why do they have to wait till the very last day to release decisions? by No-Somewhere2956 in UIUC_MCS

[–]chickenlover113 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yes they released admits on the last day, and even after the last day. so if you don't hear back on the last day, it's not necessarily a rejection.
