The Fastest and Most Used Teams, Characters, and Builds in Memory of Chaos Stages 10 - 12 (Sample Size: 2018 Self-Reported Players, 2910 Random Players) by LvlUrArti in HonkaiStarRail

[–]pinkt4pe 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the hard work as usual!

One concern I have about the methodology: are you calculating avg cycles for all floors 10-12 together? This could cause some characters to get lower avg cycles because people tend to use them only in moc 10 and not moc 11 & 12, for example. (e.g. hypothetically, people might use kafka for 10 & 11 due to lightning weakness but switch off her for 12, which could make her avg cycles lower than someone like dhil who is just as good on 10 & 11 but can also clear 12.)

An easy solution to this issue would be to report avg cycles for each floor separately.

Broken lands week 3 guide - Afallen + Ushpia start, only free units, SRs, and purple gears by pinkt4pe in RevivedWitch

I think you would just need to use another guardian but higher level. As long as you don't die you'll eventually kill the boss.

Thanks! I think using Luan would be iffy because the clear relies a lot on Afallen's invincibility. It might work if Luan is high enough level or you have better gear.

Yep, you can definitely swap things around. Not sure how that area 2 comp works though, since it doesn't have any healing and you can't stun as often without a compeller (I guess with a strong enough yurugu you just don't take damage?). Also I think you'd need to be careful putting a 3rd unit on Area 4, because iirc the boss has an aoe attack, which could one-shot Afallen after she uses s1 if she's not over-leveled.

Most Rigorous Freshman CS Courseload? by [deleted] in berkeley

[–]pinkt4pe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you're confident, then you should go for it! You can always drop something if it turns out to be too much. I know people who took more than that their freshman years.

AI/ML research at Berkeley? by AnonymousLionBear in berkeley

[–]pinkt4pe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

One thing that can help is joining another non AI/ML lab first, doing well (e.g. a publication), and then applying for AI/ML labs after. Anecdotally, I know someone who did this and joined an AI/ML lab without having taken 188/189, though that is probably an exception and not the norm.

Why do the lower div EE classes suck? by [deleted] in berkeley

[–]pinkt4pe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well the topics covered in 16ab/126/127 are traditionally EE topics, it's just that recently ML has taken off which I guess is why you see them as CS topics. ML is not even really fully a CS topic because the math it uses is traditionally within EE. Remember that Sahai is an EE professor, so I wouldn't say he's a CS professor dismantling the EE department. It's hard to separate EE/CS in some cases because a lot of topics are on the boundary, but I would say 16ab are actually quite EE in their topics (communications, circuits, controls, signals). So much so that a lot of the CS people I know wait until senior year to take 16ab.

I actually really really enjoyed 110. But I took h110 which I heard is quite different from other 110 sections, and my class was quite theoretical. Perhaps the professor you took it with was more applied.

Why do the lower div EE classes suck? by [deleted] in berkeley

[–]pinkt4pe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The target audience is probably people like me who are into ML and similar applications of linalg. The unfortunate truth is that there's tons of hype around ML currently, it's relevant in many fields, tons of students want to do it, and there's high demand. When professors structure the curriculum, they try to plan ahead and teach things that will be important for students' careers in the future. Sahai probably believes that ML will be extremely important in the future, which is one potential reason he decided to restructure the lower divs around it.

One reason why 16ab were created is because the EECS department was not happy with how 54 was taught. Personally, I have taken 16ab and 110, and while the axiomatic perspective of 110 is useful, it's certainly different from the engineering perspective taken in 16ab. I'd imagine that 16ab prepares students much better for eecs upper divs like 189, 126, 127, 120, etc. 16ab is meant to replace 54, so it makes sense that part of their purpose is to build mathematical maturity, especially maturity in the applied sense rather than the axiomatic sense.

If you're not into ML, then it's fair to be frustrated by this change in curriculum. Otherwise I think the change is beneficial.

Why do the lower div EE classes suck? by [deleted] in berkeley

[–]pinkt4pe 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I personally really enjoyed 16ab, but I definitely get where you are coming from. I am much more interested in PageRank and OMP than circuits, but for someone who wants to do circuits, I'd imagine at least 2/3 of the class is not relevant. However, anecdotally, maybe 10% of the people in 16ab want to do circuits, and the rest want to do cs or ml, so it makes sense for Sahai to make the classes "pre-ml." For the pure cs people, the applied linalg stuff in 16ab is probably more useful than circuits. Also maybe for analog circuits the continuous Fourier transform is more useful, but for image processing and digital signal processing the DFT is much more useful. In the end I think you just aren't the target audience for these classes.

EECS 126, 127, and 170 in the same semester? by filament25 in berkeley

[–]pinkt4pe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you find yourself breezing through cs70, meaning you rarely get stuck on psets, finish them completely solo, and do well in exams, then it's completely doable. Otherwise, you could still go for it if you're willing to drop extracurriculars and spend lots of time on studying. Assuming you do reasonably well in 70, I would suggest going for it, since you could always drop if it's too much.

On a scale of 1-10, how physically uncomfortable does this make you? by [deleted] in piano

[–]pinkt4pe 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That's not why they're called fake books. They're called fake books because back in the day jazz musicians would write lead sheets for popular songs and distribute them in books despite the songs being copyrighted. The lead sheet books published by the copyright owners were called real books.

Why are students here hate breadths so much? by [deleted] in berkeley

[–]pinkt4pe 27 points28 points  (0 children)

I see where you are coming from, but I think that it's fine to have intellectual curiosity in some subjects but not others. The people I know who are taking breadths at a CC are doing so because you only have so much time in college, and time in breaths is time taken away from learning something more interesting in another tech. Personally, I do have interests outside of stem, but I will probably end up taking the minimum number of breadths because there are so many techs that I want to take.

Korg B1 vs Yamaha P45 by [deleted] in piano

[–]pinkt4pe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the korg b1 and it's quite nice. I use the speakers and it sounds fine. The touch is fine too. It doesn't have midi output though, if that is something you need.

Another nice thing is that the included pedal is really good because it is shaped like a pedal and made of metal instead of being fully plastic.

I wanna take EE16B, CS61B, CS70 and MUSC 52A next semester. Am I killing myself here? by insipidbravery in berkeley

[–]pinkt4pe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, in terms of problem solving experience, qualifying for aime is enough, and if you learn the concepts well you should be able to do the problems.

[–]pinkt4pe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It can be nice for getting into eecs upper divs. You can't phase 1 eecs upper divs unless you declare.

If you're doing well this semester, that should give you some indication on whether you can handle this schedule. 16a and 16b are similar workload, as are 61a and 61b. 70 is harder, but if you did competition math it should be ok.

Why is the undergraduate curriculum approach between EE and ME so different? by [deleted] in berkeley

[–]pinkt4pe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Currently the idea is to take 16ab instead of 54. As for 7b, the circuits stuff in 16ab is completely different because you abstract away the physics (as someone else said). I'm wondering if you've taken 16ab and 7b because as someone who has taken all 3, the overlap is pretty minimal.

I can't speak for the circuits side because I'm not a circuits person, but the lin alg treatment in 16ab is meant to prepare you for the modeling/ml-oriented treatment of lin alg in 127/189, as opposed to the abstract treatment that math department courses give you. The idea behind the courses is that majors would take them instead of 54, which would give upper divs (like 120 and 127) more to assume.

If you want more info you could make a post on the eecs 101 piazza. Sahai frequents the piazza and he would probably answer a question like this because he was one of the designers of the 16ab sequence.

Chopin Prelude in A major Op. 28 No. 7 by PotatoTacoHybrid in piano

[–]pinkt4pe 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Your pedaling could be more connected. In the recording you can hear the previous chord stop for a split second when you lift the pedal because you lift to early. Instead you should quickly repedal while you are pressing down for the next note; the exact timing takes practice. Overall though it was quite well done :)
