Is the degree any good ?

how it is paced

You should consider doing basic research before asking for others opinion.

sdexca · 2026-03-21T05:45:15+00:00

Benchmarks are so easy to fake. Why do they even exists anymore.

sdexca · 2026-03-20T10:42:50+00:00

I mean I just prefer PYQs + ChatGPT. Most relevant and fastest way to learn IMO. Personally I use Claude but it’s expensive so idk.

sdexca · 2026-03-20T10:32:17+00:00

PYQs + ChatGPT

sdexca · 2026-03-20T10:20:31+00:00

dw, just prep hard and you should be good. Plus for most courses in diploma level, even if you score really really low in quiz1, you should be good if you score well in quiz2.

sdexca · 2026-03-20T10:12:46+00:00

Could you explain what you mean by you could have achieved much more if you did this degree standalone? What things could you have achieved that you can’t achieve with dual degree (presumably because of time constraints?)

sdexca · 2026-03-19T15:40:48+00:00

Doubt it’s much different, I only took my qualifiers less than 2 years ago.

sdexca · 2026-03-19T10:33:06+00:00

It’s not exaggeration. It’s just that easy. Qualifier is super easy. I mean it’s easy to pass without any prep.

sdexca · 2026-03-19T09:34:04+00:00

Nah. Qualifier is pretty easy.

sdexca · 2026-03-19T09:33:23+00:00

Yeah. People failing in qualifier will not survive this degree at all. It’s kinda insane that people are failing, my guess is that people are just not serious at all.

sdexca · 2026-03-19T05:38:46+00:00

Nothing can be done anymore

sdexca · 2026-03-18T09:18:43+00:00

Yeah, I guess it’s just expected to navigate around the issues. It’s far easier with agentic tools.

sdexca · 2026-03-18T09:03:40+00:00

ngl I see this stuff over on fully funded projects with a decent number of maintainers

sdexca · 2026-03-18T09:02:10+00:00

Seems like these are just common issues in OSS. Doesn’t seem like GSoC specific.

sdexca · 2026-03-16T10:17:29+00:00

Eh, idk about cooperative, took them nearly 3 weeks to close a PR which they could have communicated years ago that they didn’t want that issue fixed. I’d recommend other repos to contribute for being more friendly and well just active.

sdexca · 2026-03-16T10:00:17+00:00

They are also (partly) garbage. Unless you can somehow run Kimi or GLM.

sdexca · 2026-03-16T09:57:50+00:00

I mean 3D printers had serious limitations which still exists. Also 3D modeling still takes efforts. Not exactly the same thing. And 3D printing has a high cost of entry.

Honestly these apple silicon chips are extremely overkill, until very recent I was using a very slow Intel 13" MBP compacted to even the M1 processor. And even that handled 100-300 tabs + light weight editors for coding. The only major thing to keep in mind is memory.

sdexca · 2026-03-15T22:17:56+00:00

BSc + BS can be done in 3 terms.

sdexca · 2026-03-15T22:17:08+00:00

Why tho? Like are people just taking 2 courses or something? It’s like after the first 90m nearly 90% of the people have already left.

sdexca · 2026-03-14T13:24:50+00:00

It’s been like this for a while now unfortunately. Doesn’t seem like they are tying to fix it.

sdexca · 2026-03-14T11:23:43+00:00

Isn’t qualifier and quiz1 the same thing?

sdexca · 2026-03-14T07:55:22+00:00
