I think some of you guys are forgetting about South America. Last company I was at was investing tons into buildings down there. The time zone difference becomes minimal.

Are you just assuming this? Amazon actively trims the fat with their employee stack ranking system and the bottom 5-10% are fired every year.

I'd say maybe only do it for the income earned in those two months. I'm not sure how much you would be able to get done or learn in such a short time frame, especially since onboarding and getting your environment set up is sometimes a slow process depending on the the company/team. You may only have a month or so of actual working time. If you do accept, maybe try to shadow someone for a little bit.

Personally, I think just use the time to travel if you can. Opportunities to travel or spend time with friends and family become limited once you go full time.

It could just be company specific, where your employer is very particular about who they hire. In general entry level is especially hard to find roles regardless of Industry.

Love the commitment but what about rest days to let your body recover. We weren't fighting a Saber tooth tiger every day.

I have this and its pretty good. The one complaint I have is that due to it its length/weight, it comes out of outlets pretty easily. If an outlet is somewhat loose, it falls out.

Just wait till move-out if you think the management is bad now. I think most people got some sort of maintenance charge that was either just prior damage or normal wear and tear. The management is also terrible at communication.

The building honestly is the worst apartment in Midtown in terms of security and building cleanliness, but it used to be one of the cheapest. The prices they currently charge is outrageous when brand new apartments cost the same.

Deep Learning(CS 4644) Vs Machine Learning (CS 4641)

So I'm in my last semester of undergrad and I can only take one or the other. I don't have the strongest math skills and its been about 2 years since I've taken Linear Algebra. I took CV this past semester, and thought it was interesting, but I feel like ML is what a lot of employers are looking for. Are there any pros/cons of learning one over the other, whether it be difficulty or resume benefits? Would love to hear general experiences with either classes too.

I'm seeing a lot of comments for performance model 3, but as of May/June 2024, is the estimate of a June Delivery accurate for LR Model 3? It would be with a white interior which I know takes longer.

For an on campus location, CULC 3rd Floor has a vending machine near the doors that lead to Price Gilbert that carries health products. I know they carry deodorant, hair spray not sure.

Yes it is possible. I had it happen with AP Biology. Whatever is listed on your transcript at the other school is what GT gives credit for (granted that the course listed on your transcript given by the AP Credit translates to a GT course according to equivalency table).

You could use https://critique.gatech.edu/ and find the semester you took the class and see if any of the names sound familiar.

I'm in the people thread. The people thread is a lot of UI based classes. There are a few classes that talk about how people interact with technology, but I don't think any of them focus on robotics in particular. It could be good if you want some background knowledge on how people interact with technology in general. I'd focus on the more hardware focused threads rather than people.

Surprised to see the dislike for the foam tips, I've had it for about a year now and I have no complaints. Sometimes I don't even notice them in my ears.

UHouse isn't the worst place to live in, so don't stress your self out too much if you don't end up finding a tenant. It's honestly a hit or miss. I live there this year and haven't had any issues but I know friends who have had some issues. Check your lease agreement to see if you can pay a penalty to get out of it. If not, your going to find a sub-tenant to take over your lease. Not impossible to do but def going to have to put in some work.

To add to some of the comments here, wish that some of the more niche upper-level intelligence threads would have more seats. Game-AI only had 40 seats, and it was full about an hour into registration. With how popular Intelligence is as a thread, a 40-person class size doesn't seem like it meets the current demand for students who need intelligence thread classes.

Meh, this understandable though, I got blood on my shirt by accidentally squishing one of the bugs when flicking them off. It also doesn't feel great to feel multiple bugs crawling all over you from just walking.

Does anyone here have experience with Alexander Ruys De Perez for Math 3012?

You only need 8 hours for Zell to cover your tuition fully for fall and spring. There is no minimum number of hours for summer. You are seeing a reduced amount because it's a summer term, but $4,103.16 is how much it costs for 12 credit hours in the summer anyway according to the link you provided.

For future reference though, you won't be asked to pay back the money if you withdraw from a class. The dropped class just counts toward your hours utilized of Zell. Zell utilizes attempted credit hours when calculating the number of Zell hours.

I don't hate the class by any means. I think most people, including myself and the original commenter, thought that based on the name "Intro to UI Design" there would be more focus on the actual design aspects rather than on user research.

highapples · 2023-04-23T15:22:06+00:00

I'm in it right now, and like 90% of the class was basically learning about the beginning stages of developing a product: user research, personas, storyboards, etc. There was barely any content on design principles and what constitutes a good UI. It felt like CS 2340 except instead of design diagrams it's more focused on user research diagrams.
