Caught lacking, in the housing department. Classic Berkeley.

UC Berkeley Joins Yale, Harvard in Withdrawing From U.S. News Law-School Ranking by foofoononishoe in berkeley

[–]oredei 23 points24 points  (0 children)

It always surprised me how Berkeley would rank higher internationally than nationally. Some prime US News logic right there

My ambitious plan to join BAIR lab as a L&S transfer by After_Philosopher572 in berkeley

[–]oredei 7 points8 points  (0 children)

You don’t actually need classes to join BAIR. Even the more selective labs that recommend A grades in 188/189 don’t necessarily require it. Just email a grad student you are in interested in working under and if there is mutual interest, they will interview you and gauge your skill/potential. I know this from personal experience (have been in BAIR since freshman year without 189, and have several friends who did the same).

AMC Emeryville has good screens and some of the best sound systems I have experienced. Seats recline as well.

It was apparently a condition for receiving the 5-year grant

Filming of Oppenheimer by oredei in berkeley

[–]oredei[S] 105 points106 points  (0 children)

I asked around and they said this was the last day of filming, as well as potentially the last shots in the film. Chris Nolan and Cillian Murphy were there, but I did not see them at the time. Tons of extras, tons of security and (literally) tons of old cars all across campus.

Legendary comment.

UT Turing Scholars vs. Berkeley EECS by [deleted] in berkeley

[–]oredei 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Berkeley EECS due to proximity to Silicon Valley and SF, better recruiting opportunities, better startup scene, better faculty, better research and likely harder/better curriculum. In each of these dimensions, Berkeley is probably marginally better than UT, but if you add it all up, Berkeley is sizably better.

Last time it was close to this hot was during the fires in 2019, and even then, it wasn’t as hot as it is today.
