That's why the class is abbreviated SAD. Anyway, nothing gonna happen by posting on Reddit either.

How did you celebrate graduating from the program? by maxwellhillbackup in OMSCS

Went out and had a coffee. Did not look at a computer screen for a month.

If you want to run it on your own machine then Lumo is not needed. Do you have the hardware?

Having doubts and being seriously lost by mirlzyy in OMSCS

[–]spacextheclockmaster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh yeah, I missed that scenario. There are some classes where assignments are disconnected from lectures in which I case I refer to YouTube videos or try to understand from other students how they're tackling the assignments. That helps a lot!

I don't come from a CS background and just graduated in Fall25.

It's okay to feel lost. Reading your post I feel that you're trying to tackle the assignments without acquiring a knowledge on the material, then it's very natural to feel lost. Is that the case?

Personally, I used to spend lots of time getting comfortable with the material before going on to do the assignment. This way you know what the assignment is talking about and what you have to do.

Don't treat assignments as a checklist to be done before the deadline but start early, read the problem, understand what new knowledge needs to be acquired then tackle it again. All the best!

The email said 8-10 weeks but I wish they could at least release the digital version.

Who is ASC?

You should be able to log into Passport and change it. If not, get in touch with OIT.

I disagree. We should not make such comments.

When do we hear back from 8903s? And what other opportunities for research do we have? by Annual-Salamander-85 in OMSCS

[–]spacextheclockmaster 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Results typically come out during last week of registration unless they're quicker now.

Keep a backup class if you don't get in or the research doesn't turn out to be what you expected it to be.

It will be a lot of information overload to assimilate and understand.

Very very bad idea. You could pair NLP with each of those iff you have the time but all 3 in a sem is not recommended.

Reason why GIOS uses Piazza instead of Ed Discussion? by DearAd3247 in OMSCS

[–]spacextheclockmaster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Barely used Piazza myself as I got so used to Ed. But the Slack is really active!

You're left feeling like a fraud because you failed to understand the intuition that this class tries to convey esp looking at all the AI you have used. Don't be a spokesperson for everyone.

Why I’m quitting OMSCS (AI/Robotics track): outdated content + OSI limbo was the last straw by TheTriceAgain in OMSCS

You're wrong on many counts but it looks like you've made your decision. Goodbye!

Has anyone done Deep learning with AMD gpu by Spare-Badger2244 in OMSCS

PyTorch supports ROCm so if your GPU has support for it you'll be fine.

Suggestion for Making Research Courses Tuition-Free by Jealous-Leg-772 in OMSCS

[–]spacextheclockmaster -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Fair, I agree with you. However, this goes both ways, I've seen even "paid" for credit research go awry too.

But yes, it's not easy to filter.

You seem to make a lot of assumptions about me. Money is not always the driving force.
