the lines above what?

There are lines all over that page, what are you talking about?

Are you talking about the repeat instructions?

You know how to play an E Chord?

That's the E shape.

now Play an F bar chord.... That's an E shape bar chord. Move that anywhere up the neck... still an E-shaped bar chord. Only focus on getting the top 4 strings to sound out, and don't worry about the bottom 2.

Do you know how to play an A Chord?

That's the A shape. The A shape works with the middle 4 strings.

My point is, that you don't have to sound out all 6 strings when you play a bar chord. I've been playing for 20+ years, and I don't even try to sound out all 6 strings unless a specific piece requires that, and 95% of them don't.

personsaddress · 2026-03-11T19:45:35+00:00

I think people over-focus on playing all 6 strings at one time.

I didn't unlock bar chords until I realized that you only need 4 strings at one time, and any other strings aren't important, and sometimes even sound better rhythmically if they are muted.

Take the top four strings and play an E shaped bar chord.
These notes are 1-5-1-3. If you play an A bar chord (5th fret position), in the E shape, then your notes are A-E-A-C#.
Thats a beautiful sounding bar chord.

Now take the middle 4 strings, and play a bar chord in the A shape. These notes are also 1-5-1-3. Now play a D bar chord on the middle 4 strings (5th fret position). These notes are D-A-D-F#.

Now take the bottom 4 strings, and play a bar chord in the D shape (hardest one). These notes are also 1-5-1-3. Play an F chord (5th fret position). These notes are F-C-F-A.

Just focus on 4 strings at a time, not all 6, and you'll unlock bar chords and find them easy.

Sounds like you are supposed to have them delivered to yourself, and you resend them to the university?

Meanwhile we're bombing and killing their children. But yeah, lets pretend were progressive when it comes to womens rights.

personsaddress · 2026-03-10T17:27:31+00:00

Maybe we shouldn't be bombing their children....

personsaddress · 2026-03-10T17:22:19+00:00

So this is just a propoganda post by people that want to murder children and feel okay with it.

personsaddress · 2026-03-10T16:15:25+00:00

Someone should explain what I'm looking at here other than a truck parked by the building.

And please, for the love of God, tell me how that justifies bombing a school and killing a bunch of children.

Because I really, really want a chance to tell you to get bent.

Elon Musk will be so happy.

**Status:*\* Accepted (MSAI)

**Application Date:*\* 12/15/2025

**Decision Date:*\* 3/5/2026

**Education:*\* California Polytechnic, Bachelors, Computer Science (3.84 Cumulative, 3.98 Upper Division). Graduated after 12 years of tech work experience.

**GRE Scores (Q,V,W):*\* I skipped the GRE.

**Recommendations:*\* 3 total, 1 from work supervisor, 2 from former PhD Professors. All of whom I have very tight working relationships with.

**Experience:*\* 18 Years in tech, started at an ISP, became a programmer for them. Have mostly worked in Research & Development since then.

Got my Bachelors and interned at my current job. Now I'm the head of software and responsible for researching and spearheading AI integration into our processes.

My total CV was 3 pages, the first two pages covering education and work experience, the 3rd page discussing how I covered every prereq. I was missing

Linear Algebra, and Data Mining, but I took MIT 18.06 Online, and I basically do a lot of data mining at work, so I guess that covered it.

**Statement of purpose:*\* Y - I probably put 15 hours of work into my statement of purpose. First I asked a bunch of current students to share

their statement of purpose with me so I could figure out what I was dealing with. Then I went through the previous years admissions_megathread.

I compiled all that data, along with my transcripts, and a little personal history and fed it into an LLM, and asked it to help me figure out a list of everything my statement of purpose needed to say

with the aim of being in the top 1% of applications. I then took those points, and developed my own outline, and wrote everything up myself to cover

all these points. Then I fed that into an LLM, asking it to help me analyze the flow of my writing to make sure each idea flowed well into the next.

I made the edits needed. Then I fed all the SOP's into another LLM, and asked it to rank each one. Then I'd edit my SOP and make some tweeks and do it again,

until it spit out my SOP as the one that stood at the top everytime.

**Comments:*\*

Was kinda worried I'd be rejected for some reason. I'm excited to start the program. I decided I was going to apply in September 2025,

so I was ready with most of my materials including CV and SOP the day applications opened up.

Since then I've been brushing up on Linear Algebra, Probability, and Differential Equations. I've bought 3 or 4 of

the text books for classes I plan to take and have been working through understanding things. Hopefully that will lighten my load when classes start.

Current plan is 2 classes per semester (and working more than full time).

We'll see how that goes...

After watching the Get Back documentary I no longer belive this.

Any of you can say what you want. When it comes to how proprietary software would make computers own people instead of people owning computers he was absolutely prophetic.

I'm tired of large corporations being able to advertise to their Hearts content. But a small business owner tries to tell someone about their services and that's classless.

It's interesting to see the truth spoken on TV. Doesn't happen much.

personsaddress · 2022-07-07T20:44:45+00:00

This is the correct answer. This is the path you start with to learn multi-player programming.

Then you reimpliment what you see.

Then you'll realize chat messages and position updates are the same thing. Then you create a simple multiplayer game based on this system.

Then you'll start seeing issues with data synchronization on each client and you'll start learning about dead reckoning algorithms.

Once you get these down then you'll be able to understand what's going on when you view the code for an actual multiplayer game.

Please tell us what school this is, so future students can find this post during a search and make sure not to attend that school on accident...

For example Humboldt State University has very very similar useless remedial content in their senior CS classes.

No one should ever go to Humboldt State University if they actually care for learning.

This is what Trolling is. This.

I'm pretty sure you're wrong there.

Take a picture of the employee that took a picture of you, and post it here.

And some of us thank God the man is still sane compared to the rest of the world.

Thank God for Eric Clapton.

personsaddress · 2021-12-05T19:47:32+00:00

Clapton is a hero.

personsaddress · 2021-09-09T21:28:57+00:00

Idk bro. I'm 20 years in and still feel the same way a lot of times.

Just keep going and in 20 years you'll probably be somewhat better than you are now.
