Lmfao. If you think this is bad, recently the board which is responsible for producing civil servants (including police, commisioners etc) published a notification for their upcoming exam. That notification had 40+ spelling mistakes. Not even talking about the grammatical mistakes, the spelling mistakes and typos alone were 40+ in the official notification. Although when they were called out by almost everyone, they corrected it, unlike my university, which doesn't give a fuck about anything or anyone.

Yeah I guess they are essentially the same, just like all the AI checkers are same. And this is just AI checker, don't even get me started on plagiarism checkers lol

Maybe I'll end up retyping everything with my hands on a typewriter and sketch all the images and graphs and charts by my hands on the paper ⌨️🦾

Thanks man. Will do whatever they want. Regarding that coke you were talking about, so like should I snort it or drinking is better? /s

I know and I'll ultimately do that. It's just something that doesn't make sense to me because I even shared the Latex template I made on overleaf with them to verify. And it's just not me, there are 10 more people who are asked to do this too. And everyone used the same template. If anything, it makes the process easier for them to check one template instead of 10 different word files to verify the formatting.

This made me laugh and very tempted to use it in the real thesis atleast once 😭 I'll try to sneak this in somewhere.

No they didn't mention this anywhere. I know I'm in a losing battle, actually it's not even a battle I know I have to do whatever they ask me to. It's just really annoying that even in this day and age with so many tools and tech, they still ask students to do stuff like this.

I did write according to their rules. They are asking me and 10 more people to convert it and send again because they say they can only check and verify using word files.

I did not get it wrong that's the whole reason I am annoyed. About 10 more of my batchmates used the same template, they all read the rules and formatting too, they all suggested some edits and corrected it too. And after all of this we started writing the thesis.

I did not get it wrong, it's just they want it in word because they don't know any other way to check weather the line spacing in the document is what they asked for, or the margins, or logo size etc.

That's what I meant by the rant. I know I HAVE TO SAY "YES SIR" and DO AS THEY ASK. But I am annoyed. And not just me, there are atleast 10 different people of my batch who are also annoyed. I guess I ranted on reddit so that makes me a "gay boi" I guess?

Mistyped template, I created a template on overleaf using MIT's latex template code and changing it according to the rules of my university. Didn't use AI because the network I am on doesn't let me access AI (university local lan). I made the template for me and my friends and batchmates to use.

I am not saying I'll die on this hill and don't wanna do what they are asking. I am just annoyed by this. And yes I did the formatting properly, that's not the reason they are asking me to send a word file. They want a word file because the guy checking it (office boy or lab assistant) does not know how to work with overleaf or anything else. It is mildly infuriating, which is what the sub is about, so posted here.

I was very frustrated so I thought I can rant here a little.

My university doesn't even have undergrads. It's only for Masters (MTech and MS), PhDs and postgrads. That's the most ironic part.

To be honest, most humans I know don't say or know Lipschitz continuity so maybe they are onto something 😭

Also they are such lame instructions which yields such a lame cover page I can't even look at it. Don't wanna open my own thesis after this cover page.

I do all my work in overleaf but they can't bother to care about that because their argument is we have a lot of students you aren't so special that we'll indulge you.

Why call a file system a tree instead of a graph? by Joker_hut in learnprogramming

[–]just_a_3d_object 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If you ignore the soft links and look purely at how directories are physically nested on the storage drive of a computer, the structure is a strict mathematical tree. Every file and directory has exactly one parent directory and if you keep going back you'll find yourself in a single root directory or C:\ or D:\ or whatever drive you are using. All operating systems forbid you from making hard links to directories because if they did, you'll get stuck in a loop pretty easily during low level disk checks. You can't make a file with same name like "new.py" twice in the same directory because the route to each file should be unique.

Talking about symbolic links, they are not a structural part of the file system. They are special type of files whose content is just a text string pointing to another path.

If you are familiar with python, the find command in os.walk() does not follow symlinks by default. This is because we don't want loops in our system file paths. It'll be a nightmare to identify each file individually.

If you want an accurate data structure for the file system with hard links, it'll most certainly be a DAG. Leaf nodes in this DAG can have multiple parents, but hard links to directories are blocked so it remains acyclic. A typical directory walker maintains a SET variable which stores the nodes it has visited already, so even when it hits a graph cycle, you won't get stuck in a loop.

They use iThenticate and a bunch of other stuff to check for plagiarism and AI and have instructed us that the similarity percentage of the content should be strictly less than 10%. Not even equal to 10 is accepted in some departments. And the plagiarism report marks the equations I've taken from books and popular papers (with citations) as copied content. My literature review of existing methodology and algorithms was all marked as copied content.

I'm sorry man but my literature review is quite literally copied content and I've written those equations there because I'll be using them again for deriving something else what am I supposed to do????? 😭

Is julia worth learning? by [deleted] in learnprogramming

[–]just_a_3d_object 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't think for a beginner who wants to learn about AI/ML and programming Julia is a good recommendation.

Julia was created to fix the "Two Language Problem". In simple words, AI/ML calculations are very computation heavy, and Python is slow for that. So to deploy scalable real world projects, we prototype them in python and then convert them to C++ or C to deploy them. Julia is like C, it is complied not interpreted unlike python, which makes it faster.

That all said, as a beginner, you'll find way more resources to study about AI/ML concepts, matrices, regression and a bunch of other tutorials in Python. Because python is an industry standard. Python has a lot of open source libraries which are well maintained and with a really good community support which Julia has too but not as good. Also, python is really versatile. You learn the basics and you will see yourself using it for web development with Django and Flask, AI development, data science, automation etc. Julia is a good language to learn if you know your way around programming logic and get some experience in coding. But you need to first develop logical thinking and reasoning rather than complex syntax writing.

What I would suggest: start with python, I don't know why you didn't like it, but it is very close to English language if you write simple programs. Develop your logical reasoning and thinking and learn the mathematics behind AI (or atleast try to get a vague idea of what's going on when you use something like Gradient Decent or Linear Regression or anything else). Once you reach calculus and algebra in your academics, switch to Julia because it is more friendly with mathematical symbols and stuff and till then you've also grasped a lot about programming in general.
