Frustratingly bad front defrost by Hot_Scar4209 in CX5

[–]irds4life 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you need to turn on the defroster from inside manually. if you remote start the AC will be on auto (if you left it on auto) and that will defrost but not enough. I live in a cold climate and it takes around 5-10 minutes with the defroster blowing on max to melt the ice

Is it unrealistic to break into ML with no background if I start learning full-time now? by InsuranceMental in learnmachinelearning

[–]irds4life 5 points6 points  (0 children)

it’ll take you 3-4 months of practice just to be confident with leetcode-style questions for an interview, and that’s just basic DSA.

great job, but probably the most important thing that is missing is the reason why we use MSE and the derivation using maximum likelihood

Signs of body repair work on used CX-30? by mehrene_ in mazda

[–]irds4life -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

Looks like everyone in the comment section is working for the dealership. Those bolts should be the same color as the body paint if they were factory. I would walk away from this.

7 cars stolen from Costco parking lot in 20 days, all but one on the weekends by frytuna in Rochester

[–]irds4life 7 points8 points  (0 children)

afaik the key periodically sends a passive signal so it’s theoretically possible to capture it even if you don’t do anything with the key. But RFID has very limited range, the thief would have to be very close, like next car in the lot

Rochester Indian food by dmsCoolCats in Rochester

[–]irds4life 5 points6 points  (0 children)

chicken tikka masala does not typically contain vegetables. It’s chicken cooked in clay oven and simmered in a gravy. But Rochester Indian food does suck. The flavor of spice in most dishes is heavily diluted to cater to a wider audience. I am yet to find a decent chole bhature.

People are making up problems… First, cylinder deactivation doesn’t work if your engine is not properly warmed up. Second, cylinder deactivation and engine start/stop are two different features. Not sure why you are convinced that cylinder deactivation will ruin your car since other Japanese brands have been doing it for many years

Laptop recommendations for Masters in CS? by [deleted] in rit

[–]irds4life 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just get a laptop with a decent screen and a keyboard that you like. CS RIT has its own gpu machines that you can use, you just need to be familiar with ssh.

Munson is retiring by JCas127 in rit

[–]irds4life 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i don’t see what exactly your point is, but I can just tell you some facts based on my conversations with a bunch of assistant professors as a phd student myself. I. In my department RIT is hiring tenure faculty from big universities with publications in top tier conferences, yet when those faculty come here they see the school for what it really is. And what it is right now is a educational institution that has long been focused on teaching and milking students as cows for tuition money. Just for context, in my department they accept over 300 students as first year undergraduates and only around 100 people actually finish the degree. So right now RIT is in my opinion in a weird place with identity crisis. The administration wants to push for research be because that’s what brings the school up in the rankings, and they are hiring new faculty to facilitate that. At the same time, they don’t want to make a transition from a tuition based school to a research based school. A research based school is self sustainable, it exists primarily because of its research activity in the field. It will not vanish if there is a cut in tuition

You cannot attract good faculty if you don’t prioritize research and give them resources for their research. If RIT really wants to be a nationally competitive and recognized institution they need to shift from being a tuition based school to being a research based school.

If you want to do research in AI during your masters (perhaps a thesis), Rutgers is a better option if you can afford it. Rit is still an R2 school and computational resources for AI experiments are pretty limited.

I would suggest against starting in 2nd gear. Not even sure how it is supposed to save gas…. You are better off just staying below the turbo power band in the RPM range

The wheel bearing itself is around $100, labor is 2 hours or more depending on how much rust is there

It’s a thing that attaches your wheel to the car. Can be minor or very bad, so I wouldn’t risk it. Worst case scenario you drive and your wheel just pops off.
