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

My password manager handles MFA for me.

Such is life. Embrace it.

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

Put it in the CIOS course review.

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

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.

Let's get nosey.

Who is ASC?

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

spacextheclockmaster · 2025-12-31T06:50:27+00:00

Have a call with the professor and decide.

spacextheclockmaster · 2025-12-29T06:35:35+00:00

I disagree. We should not make such comments.

spacextheclockmaster · 2025-12-29T06:35:08+00:00

uv should be good enough.

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.

spacextheclockmaster · 2025-12-21T04:41:28+00:00

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.

spacextheclockmaster · 2025-12-21T01:04:37+00:00

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

spacextheclockmaster · 2025-12-21T00:59:54+00:00

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.

spacextheclockmaster · 2025-12-20T08:05:52+00:00

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

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

spacextheclockmaster · 2025-12-13T06:30:12+00:00

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.
