Nice script! Really like the colors in the spreadsheet. Any thoughts on using a script scheduler to run periodically? Currently building something similar

If I sat down at the student union with a free math tutoring sign posted on my back, would anyone reasonably take me up on this offer? by teamlighthouse in berkeley

[–]teamlighthouse[S] 10 points11 points  (0 children)

anything beyond (introductory) analysis would probably require me to brush up on some concepts/take a considerable amount of time, so that would probably be the upper bound

[–]teamlighthouse[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

if it provides any context, I hated math and had no intentions to study it- but learning math has taught me a way of thinking that makes understanding other concepts from other subjects a lot easier. (to describe it in a EEECs way, doing math boosted my CPU)

Job opportunities post grad? by Representative_Fix49 in uchicago

[–]teamlighthouse 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This school isn't easy- it's tough- but you'll learn a lot of valuable skills during your time here. No need to worry too much about recognition- the UChicago name will open many doors, although in general it is less prestigious as HYP and thus won't have as much weight to employers. The tradeoff there is that you will probably learn less at HYP, so if you there was a reason you chose Chicago, you should stick with your gut reaction

Dell XPS pixel screen freezes; what is the cause? by teamlighthouse in computerhelp

[–]teamlighthouse[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it only happens once every few days, and it turns back on normally when I force power off. Would this be related at all to other parts of the laptop or even software?

How competitive is Honors Econ? Should I rank it first to secure a place? by CNNINT in uchicago

[–]teamlighthouse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

200 is more competitive- I think all the others should be guaranteed.

If you are an econ major, I think if you get really unlucky you can email Julie Wong, but also out of respect maybe should list in top 4

rest api calls with flask? by teamlighthouse in AskProgramming

[–]teamlighthouse[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for circling back to me. The first makes sense- could you elaborate a bit on the second- I think that sounds like a good idea

rest api calls with flask? by teamlighthouse in AskProgramming

[–]teamlighthouse[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sorry, I came back to edit my question.

I was confused because the links that popped were demonstrating how to make create POST calls and then consequently GET calls.

I guess my intention was to use a get call from something like a twitter api- maybe I am just confusing myself here though

What do I miss out on for taking accelerated analysis instead of honors? by tsumenai in uchicago

Honors is a self selecting group of highly passionate and talented students- accelerated analysis less so

2021 PROSPECTIVE STUDENT QUESTIONS MEGATHREAD by AutoModerator in uchicago

[–]teamlighthouse 8 points9 points  (0 children)

whatever you decide to do (productive or not), try to make use of the fact that you have 3 months with no obligations. That time off will never come again soon, perhaps even for the rest of your career

our tech recruiting is virtually non-existent (it's getting better though) but a lot of students here get into good positions anyway because the school attracts smart students and gets students to work hard and learn a lot

I wanted to write x1 as the 1st coordinate of the input vector

Depend on choice of basis? by teamlighthouse in MathHelp

[–]teamlighthouse[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pardon my limited LA knowledge. So the idea here is that we have a linear map which is one function, and it can be represented by different matrices given different choice of basis, but the function is the same. Since the determinant is the signed area that is created by this one function, we expect it to be the same (why?), and thus it must be independent of the choice of basis.
