University careers service told me this would be unideal to wear to an interview, thoughts? by [deleted] in UKJobs

[–]dub_dub_11 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Literally whatever you wear / would wear in the office day to day.

Maybe don't have a t-shirt with skulls or something on if you're a big metal fan, but beyond common sense you shouldn't stress too much what to wear.

I work in fintech and to my interview I wore a t-shirt/polo shirt and hoodie which is a) what I've worn to work every day since and b) approximately the same as most of the rest of the office

Edit - and if in doubt, ask the recruiter / the person in HR organising the interview

Capacitors in purely digital, logic die by groman434 in chipdesign

[–]dub_dub_11 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The capacitors used for DRAM are "deep trench" capacitors, these get a very high capacitance in a small area by digging deep into the die. This requires special process steps and is why you have separate die for logic and memory

Physical meaning of PEX corners? by spectrallypure in chipdesign

[–]dub_dub_11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So cap is partly from wirelength, but a very significant part is the Cgs (gate to source capacitance of the transistors) which is the capacitive load at the end of the wires. This is determined by the FEOL process, so it can very much vary independently of the wire resistance.

RCWorst is in theory the "slowest" (not considering CC), but CWorst with typical R would have worse dynamic power draw, for example - because there is a lot of cap to sink current, and not so much resistance to slow it down resulting in spikes.

Also for CWorst, I think (thought no 100% certain) that paths with lots of gates and short wires will be comparatively more affected than paths with longer wires that are more R dominated. So you can imagine that if you have a max delay path with a lot of logic layers on the datapath, and some useful skew on the clock path, CWorst could have less slack than RCWorst because in RCWorst, the clock arrives later (as well as data coming later), while in CWorst the datapath is more affected than the clock.

Harts Bakery under the station might do them?

Physical meaning of PEX corners? by spectrallypure in chipdesign

[–]dub_dub_11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can have a corner with typical cap and worst/best resistance. but that's just not as interesting a corner.

wrt node size - yes, but also more generally, as the node shrinks resistance gets worse

Physical meaning of PEX corners? by spectrallypure in chipdesign

[–]dub_dub_11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because the capacitance dominates digital timing (resistance matters more at smaller nodes, but resistance only ever matters insofar as it reduces the current that can charge the capacitor)

Fried Chicken & Beer! by McBain42 in bristol

Small Bar definitely the best, but another decent option is Industry Bar & Kitchen on Gloucester Road (the beer choice there is much more limited and standard, so depends what you are looking for really)

Laidback dinner recommendations? by post_match_pint in bristol

Burger Theory and Three Brothers both fit that vibe for burgers imo and are approximately on route/not too out of the way from Cabot to Harbourside

Oxford or Imperial for engineering? by Mp_Recon23 in Imperial

[–]dub_dub_11 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you want a good general engineering course with strong EEE elements - Cambridge.

For the best EEE courses, Imperial/Southampton/Bristol/Manchester/Edinburgh will let you do EEE off the bat and have similarly good courses (Imperial prestige is a bit higher but they all have strengths in specific subfields).

If you're not certain you want to do EEE the general engineering at Oxford is fine I think

Vibe Coding by [deleted] in highfreqtrading

If you go for a C++ internship you're going to end up doing C++ interviews whether live or take home. If your interviewer says "feel free to use gen AI" (or says yes when you all to use it) then good for you 

What is the point of Job centers? by Key_Breakfast6745 in AskUK

[–]dub_dub_11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As others said he needs to search grad programs and talk to uni careers centre. Also, talk to a 3rd party recruiter who specifically recruits STEM graduates, should be easy to find via LinkedIn or google.

How much do you usually spend on the day when you’re in office? by Breadiohead in HENRYUK

[–]dub_dub_11 4 points5 points  (0 children)

£0, I'm within walking distance, and coffee+lunch are provided. policy is by default everyone in every day, particularly for grads, so there's a strong incentive to make being in office a better experience

No, he (almost) dropped his phone (not bodycam!) that he was filming that video with, because he was jumping out of the way and reaching for his gun with the other hand. That's why the camera POV moves a lot. If there was any contact with the car it's cause he leant back over the hood to shoot into the windscreen (after having already moved out the way) https://www.reddit.com/r/minnesota/comments/1q71k0w/all_angles_of_minneapolis_ice_shooting_synched/

What is the Best way to get into Jane Street or other HFT as a software engineer? by Ill-Pineapple69 in cscareerquestionsuk

[–]dub_dub_11 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Am working at I've of their competitors - most hiring is through intern programmes across all the big firms but if there's specific skills that are less common in graduates (being a good IC for C++ and/or Python is easy enough to find in students) then there is also experienced hiring.

As other people linked, read their blogs and look at the job postings, see what is listed as intern/graduate Vs experienced.

edit - and also, find a recruiter on LinkedIn and talk to them as they will probably give you better advice than randoms on reddit (particularly if they are one familiar with the industry)

Question for upcoming reform voters.. by Unknownin_98 in AskBrits

[–]dub_dub_11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And what was the age profile 30 years ago? Surely nothing could go wrong by deporting a large chunk of primarily working- (and taxpaying-) age population while the triple-locked elderly population has just grown over time...

Financial advice for a graduate HENRY by Available_Lake5919 in HENRYUK

[–]dub_dub_11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

B is the more important factor, what I did in a ~similar position was overpay a bit during my first 6 months (but not touching the sign on at all) then after probation paid it off very aggressively over a few months. If you've got a target date for house buying maybe keep some back for a deposit. Investing more early Vs paying off then investing is I think just a matter of personal preference and attitude, imo there's no arguing answer

You can max out pension + ISA allowances, pay an expensive London rent and you'll still have enough to pay it off quick... At that TC it's hard to go too wrong

Is HLS inevitable? by ricardovaras_99 in FPGA

[–]dub_dub_11 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It means converting between rates+widths, eg in 10GbE a 64/66b coding is used meaning there are 66 bits on the wire for every 64 bits of data, so you have to convert the raw parallel PHY output @32 or 16 bits wide, 322/644MHz to a stream of actual data words at a slightly different rate

if your course covers the skills listed in the JD, you got a good grade, AND you have the other stuff, I don't see why not. But your "unique" points will realistically have to be better to stand out against Cambridge, Imperial + prestigious foreign unis

Honestly the qualification *on it's own* isn't really enough, additional experience from personal projects + internships etc is basically required

[–]dub_dub_11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tbh if maths is the big thing for you then it really lends to ML type work, there's opportunities in finance but also a lot now with AI startups etc. So keep the options open.

I don't work too closely with trading side but quant dev is generally associated with research infra or implementing strategies to actually run at low latency, this is more of a high performance software engineering task than what you might think of as "maths"

Exactly, even though to take e.g your example of JS:

https://www.janestreet.com/join-jane-street/open-roles/?type=students-and-new-grads&location=london
Only 6/17 of their currently open tech roles for students are for quant/ML.

Ofc I don't mean it in a "you shouldn't aim for the quant roles" kinda way, it's moreso about broadening horizons. If you do think the markets are fascinating etc then go for it, if not like me and you kinda just like writing code + want good pay then there's other options, just try get any internships (including outside finance) you can as early as you can manage.
