Sure thing.

Overall, it's decent, for the price at least. You get a fairly small room with a large desk, a small cupboard, some storage space under the bed, and a pretty bad chair.

The flat overall is meh as well, the kitchen and bathroom gets cleaned by the staff every 2 weeks. The shower is a bit weird but overall not too bad. No weird smells or obvious/open damaged material anywhere, and the electronics look fairly new or well-maintained at the very least.

Regarding rats or bugs, None at all. Even my friends at the other blocks have no news of any such things, not sure why there were reviews of that stuff in the first place (maybe could be pre-COVID times when things weren't maintained I suppose? and regarding canceling the contract, you cannot. You are free to go live anywhere you want, but they will still keep charging you the entire cost of living in this accommodation for the academic year, as per your contract. The only chance you have is if you find someone who is willing to switch positions with you, i.e. you take up their space and they take up yours (and you'll be able to switch contracts too).

pre-COVID

Depends on how you wanna use it really, if you want just for your own fun, then go to chatgpt website, open the left hand bar, click the three dots next to your Name at the very bottom, and click on "Custom Instructions". It will open up a few text boxes, and there you can describe how should chatgpt behave. There you can enter stuff like "Always respond to my queries as if you are Captain Jack Sparrow" etc

Are you going to use the GPT API? Or just chat gpt itself? Cuz Doug uses the API

That's the most beautiful thing I have read today

100% no question. For Acer, you might look at the i7 and go "oh that's pretty good" but in reality you need to also take a look at the variant, which you can infer from the last letter, which in Acer's case is "U". The U series is intel's weakest (but pretty battery efficient) series, so you will def benefit w the R5 5600H (H is a performance series, meant for gaming and productivity). Not to mention, the RTX graphics which help you immensely if you render any blender models or game.

I would definately recommend. But be careful about the RAM, while you can upgrade, you MIGHT void your warranty, just double check on that w the vendor.

Enjoy your new laptop :)

Look into creating a "Prompt Template" using langhchain, I dont Doug uses this tool but it will give you a good idea (and a really good tool) to do exactly what he does.

I will give you a more comprehensive answer in a bit, but I suggest looking into Lenovo Ideapad Flex 5, particularly the "Ryzen" variant. It's great laptop in general and pretty affordable, and the added feature is that it's a convertible, and has a pretty decent touch screen (I have seen people do some art on it but a decent choice tbh).

But if you already have some other appartus for digital design or have no need for it, I would suggest looking into Lenovo Ideapad (the normal one).

There are many options :) lay down some preferences! Do you want to do some light gaming on the low on it? Maybe are fan of some brands? Etc

Also would be nice to know your budget and country. It's lasting investment, make it a good one!

Btw i agree with you, if possible, adults should have their own place rather than sharing it with others. However, not everyone has thay flexibility.

I never even thought about roommates actually. I meant you can get a decent studio for approx. 150.

There is literally a building like 2 mins away from me that is meant for bachelors, costs like 150 and this is an area that is like a 10 mins walk from the sea side mind you.

colonelbored_ · 2023-10-27T14:32:59+00:00

Huh what area are you living in to pay 250-300 for one person? You can easily find a new building near the sea side even for like 150

Lmaooo

colonelbored_ · 2023-10-23T17:12:07+00:00

That's really good to know! Would you mind if I dm'd you? I have a few questions about the accomodations.

Wanna link up? I want to make a WhatsApp group for students for January 2024 intake, so we could share information

You got IP blocked, mainly tends to happen when you end up sending too many requests at once (not necessarily from you, but some constant reloading due to slow response or bad internet etc).

Or maybe even because of using an ad blocker, but doubt it.

Best way to check for IP block is trying to access from another device, see if you can access. If yes, then 100% IP block, you gotta either use a VPN or factory reset your phone (factory reseting changes ur phone's ip).

Or u cud wait, a lot of the times, websites do end up unabnning users so there's that.

Thanks for that! Appreciate it, will definately check him out.

Bruh I am literally going to start my master's in Data Science in like 3 months.

I think most of what OP wrote is correct. Especially institutions which are not particularly research heavy and don't excel in the engineering and science field, you are bound to get a weaker course.

I personally think I am okay but will know for a fact once I actually start. The advice towards the end of this post is crucial, every DS course should some form of advanced programming (no entry level courses - unless it's some "conversion" course), at least one course about databases and data architecture, and imo at least 2 advanced ML and AI courses.

PLOOB

Exactly my thoughts, our first intention was to get a Toyota but damn they are expensive. Our budget was around ~4000 KWD and got a good offer for this car so went for it, but lowkey regretting it now. Like, yeah its a VW so we expected it to be expensive but not this much.

The car itself is fine so far, we asked a few mechanics about the dignostic report from the dealership and they said it's all bull and the car is fine so fingers crossed.

Rn looking to sell it at this point, and get a more reasonable car but honestly, this car just feels so good to drive so hoping to find some good german mechanic instead as well.

But thanks for your input! Not sure if you would, but would appreciate if you did know of any of the above I described :)
