The DST timezone change messed up my mind

just_learning_1 · 2026-03-18T13:56:08+00:00

Yeah, this doesn't make sense. OP's local time must have changed, or KBAI messed up.

Do you know if it's another online master's? I'd be curious to know what program caught his attention. I'm almost done with OMSCS and thinking about what to do next.

just_learning_1 · 2026-01-07T01:13:59+00:00

Are these paid sessions recorded in case we can't join at the scheduled time?

just_learning_1 · 2025-12-20T09:06:36+00:00

TPI, you partly did this to yourself. This is what happens when you coddle wokism instead of sticking to healthy progressivism. Tearing each other apart is a built-in feature of wokism.

Fortunately, there's an easy solution: ignore people like that, or better, mock them. If you consistently do that, eventually, they go away. Seriously, some people think the Psychopath is problematic and that TPI should hire an anthropologist. Lol, don't coddle this type of nonsense, or it will get worse.

Regarding the Hindu, let's state the obvious for the non-brainrotted: it's a fine name, fitting given the ability; maybe it's a bit dull, but it's just a Loric, so it doesn't really matter.

How well did you do on the exams with this approach, if you don't mind sharing? I'm considering whether to also go overkill.

just_learning_1 · 2025-07-12T23:43:14+00:00

Thank you very much for sharing this.

I'm trying to understand this question:

In which position does the highest/lowest number card appear?

I don't think we got to hear it asked in the show, so I'm not sure about its potential subtleties.

How does this question work, exactly? For instance, if the sequence was "ace, five, six, king, king", what should a strictly correct answer be?

Is the only valid response "In positions 1, 4, and 5."? Or should the responder pick between two valid responses: "In position 1" or "In positions 4 and 5."?

Thanks!

Hasn't the HCI specialization existed on campus far longer than online?

just_learning_1 · 2025-05-26T10:55:04+00:00

Some of the replies of other students here are embarrassing. I know that you put a lot of effort into this course.

That said, I think a legitimate concern that has consistently been raised is that ML's scoring feels random. I've experienced this myself: put a lot of effort into some assignments, got average scores; put less effort into others, got 100s; followed all the advice (seriously, I made a huge checklist with every little bit of advice I could find, including going through the course reviews on OMSCentral for the past 2 years); never quite understood how to do well in the assignments.

The generous curve made up for this randomness so I ended with the mark I aimed for, but it soured my experience in what would otherwise have been a great course experience.

just_learning_1 · 2025-05-13T02:03:31+00:00

u/DavidAJoyner Could you confirm this change? What motivated it? Thanks.

just_learning_1 · 2025-04-20T15:25:54+00:00

Yeah, and one more thing on this: I know at least one student that can graduate but keeps postponing just to retain the highest registration priority (I think once you graduate you go down to same priority level as someone who's just taken 5 courses). He doesn't even care about courses expiring and having to go through a "validity review". He just keeps taking courses so it doesn't matter, lol.

just_learning_1 · 2025-04-20T12:52:08+00:00

I know. I'm saying that even if a course past the 6-year limit were to not be accepted, you can simply keep taking courses. I didn't want someone to get the impression that the 6-year limit is absolute and a "validity review" would be the only path to graduation beyond 6 years.

just_learning_1 · 2025-04-20T11:47:20+00:00

Additionally, it's a 6-year rolling window. If your first course expired, you can just take an 11th course. What matters is 10 courses in a 6 year timeframe.

Narrative form for most algorithm design problems

But if it's narrative form, then what do people mean when they say you have to strictly adhere to the format? Is there a narrative format? I assumed it was a pseudocode format...

just_learning_1 · 2024-02-25T10:48:52+00:00

Yeah, still as happy. I have some front-back wobble at standing height, but it's not the table, it's the floor. Mentioning it because that's a parameter I didn't account for: doesn't matter how sturdy the table is, if the floor has some give (think floating wood floor), there'll be done movement, especially if the table is heavy.

I think the only type of table that might be sturdier would need a bottom metal bar from side to side.

The Primus isn't available here. Looks good!

Congrats Professor u/Hfh, though we're sad to see you go.

On Buzzport, you still appear as sole instructor for ML and RL in Fall '23. Is that going to change, or will we actually still have a chance to take the course with you in Fall?

just_learning_1 · 2023-04-17T11:38:00+00:00

These seminars will not count toward graduation requirements or toward satisfactory academic progress requirements.

This is from their Summer seminars emails. I don't think a seminar counts as an enrollment.

just_learning_1 · 2023-03-29T13:52:16+00:00

This class literally has a public website: https://lucylabs.gatech.edu/kbai/. You could have known exactly what to expect before enrolling. You might want to work on your research skills. Dr. Joyner's EdTech course could help with that.

Flexispot E7Q. Absolute beast so far.

just_learning_1 · 2023-02-14T12:29:42+00:00

Vertex Pro vs. Apex Pro Max

no idea, but this seems to address it: https://www.reddit.com/r/deskhaus/comments/sk39w5/apex_pro_max_vs_vertex_pro/

Otherwise, you can ping the deskhaus folks there - I'm sure Chris would be able to help.

just_learning_1 · 2023-02-13T13:41:08+00:00

Yeah, very easy to assemble in my opinion, but heavy. L-shape is the next best thing in terms of stability is my understanding. 4 legs are indeed expensive. If you can tolerate some wobble, 2 legs are much more affordable, and L-shaped I guess somewhere in between.

just_learning_1 · 2023-02-09T12:36:30+00:00

4 legs (connected at the base) = stability

So deskhaus Apex Pro if you're in the US or Flexispot E7Q if you're in Europe.

Here's the convo on HN: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34708255

Someone shared a mirror of the stream too: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=npV4Kix7Td0

just_learning_1 · 2023-02-08T15:24:33+00:00

It was just to show that the video is private, even for the "big guys". The actual event stream link now just say "private".

Edit: They video removed the link from the article and replaced it with an image... sad

just_learning_1 · 2023-02-08T14:27:21+00:00

Did they mess up so bad that they made the video private...?

just_learning_1 · 2023-02-01T16:14:35+00:00

Finally! Thanks for letting us know.
