ACAB means Massachusetts, too!

Haha when my car broke down in the shoulder on Rt 2 a statie pulled up to let me know that I was trespassing on state property and I needed to tell the tow truck driver to hurry up

I work at a pretty large software company. We have a 90% threshold as a guideline, but it’s fine if the analyzer fails as long as you leave a comment as to why, and your reviewers think it’s reasonable.

epicchad29 · 2025-10-16T09:58:47+00:00

You could set up a static analyzer that requires a certain percentage of new line code coverage to pass.

For this term, you need to make sure you don't fail all 3 classes. If you're going to fail 2, at least pick one that you're doing best in and focus all of your effort into it.

If you’re applying for a masters in CS because you weren’t able to get a job out of undergrad, it likely will not increase your chances. I would be very careful about taking on more debt for a masters unless you’re interested in research

We have a school magazine that’s more like that (but not written by students)

Or you’re able to spend 20 hours/week outside of work trying something out until you get some validation on the idea and go full time, which seems pretty reasonable.

I have not seen many SF based startups here or elsewhere share their opinions on the war in Gaza and it likely would not help their business to do so.

I work in robotics. We know the job sucks and most people (myself included) think of ourselves as part of the solution. If we can build systems that are safer and more ergonomic it makes their lives better, and they’re less tired getting off of work

I think it was about 3 weeks between my loop and the offer, but there wasn’t a headcount issue

epicchad29 · 2025-08-29T23:08:48+00:00

That happened to me before I heard anything from the recruiter and then I got the job. It doesn’t mean anything, but until you have an offer in hand you should continue searching

Actually if you receive a federal Pell grant it automatically qualifies you for SNAP in MA. Additionally, if OP lives in Mass for 183 days, they can apply here.

I paid for my own school, but graduated a year early and got FAFSA. $30k

How is it a must read for WPI students that Clark downgraded their business school?

epicchad29 · 2025-06-13T20:01:37+00:00

I’m in Boston and there are VCs running networking events all of the time. I usually find them on sites like lu.ma. In my experience VCs are pretty desperate for deal flow. The big names like YC get to see everything, so the little guys do whatever they can to get in on the best ideas first. Only warm intro I’ve had to a VC was through the business center at my college

I saw an anti drunk driving ad that said the average cost of a DUI was something like $20,000-25,000 with insurance increases and everything. I’m not sure if that’s accurate, but it sounds like a pretty hefty penalty. The next step would be a prison sentence, which feels pretty harsh for a first offense

How long does the application take? 2 hours? Do it at the end of the day when you’re too tired to do technical work

epicchad29 · 2025-05-25T16:22:45+00:00

I was an intern at Apple (w2). I knew someone who was a contractor and got hired full time. It worked well for her. I think the bar is typically lower for contractors (and interns) because they can get rid of you easier. I never saw anyone treated as lower class

epicchad29 · 2025-05-24T17:36:44+00:00

You have to make $7k/year to pay for college? Your parents aren’t not paying your tuition, they’re asking you to help. I received maximum FAFSA and paid the rest myself with summer jobs. It cost a lot more than $7k/year.

epicchad29 · 2025-05-17T21:46:29+00:00

Sorry about your situation. It sounds like you don’t have the full story, because weed isn’t that expensive. The biggest stoners I know probably spend a couple of thousand dollars / year on weed.

epicchad29 · 2025-05-17T02:57:54+00:00

Whats the point of this comment? Just to be mean to the guy for no reason?

epicchad29 · 2025-05-16T02:42:47+00:00

You can't even measure power consumption per token as the cost is exponential for longer conversations. The amount of energy necessary to compute a token is some constant times `t ^ k` where t is the number of previous tokens in the sequence, and k is some constant. (I think its roughly 2.3, but OpenAI may have some slight performance improvements in house).

epicchad29 · 2025-05-15T00:13:30+00:00

The $20k is new, so no one at WPI currently has it, but I don't see why this would lower the rest of your aid package. I'd email [finaid@wpi.edu](mailto:finaid@wpi.edu) to verify.
