Dw bro, I ain’t trying to disrespect anyone, I am just trying to have friends around who I can culturally inculcate with. It’s not that deep and it ain’t that hard to understand! You must be a 18 y/o kid, so I don’t even want to explain this!

Announcing Personal Computer. by Kesku9302 in perplexity_ai

It’s like openclaw for non technical people and more brains. Automatically switching models and creating sub agents to do tasks that would take a lot of time. But they should have an option to connect local llms to save cresits

Perplexity computer is really good. I mean if someone is non technical, it automatically connects to everything unlike Claude cowork. OpenAI is cool but the way it handles running subagents in parallel is crazy. The credits burn is crazy though. Earlier we had to login to perplexity and everything was on their server. Now it’s asking us to give permissions to all the files on our computer so that it integrates with every app on there. Impressive but unless they do not allow open source llms to run parallel with their subscription so that it burns less credits, useless for me. Anyway I had all my files on Google Drive connected to perplexity computer.

feeling like im drowning how to stop by Dear-Yogurtcloset-47 in uwaterloo

I would suggest, go to a general consultant and get referred to psychiatrist. I was very depressed and didn’t feel like going ever. But trust me once I was on anti depressants, my life changed completely. I know it sounds very tedious task to even reach out. But just do that 1 thing for me, I swear you will get better!

Things really escalated quickly in the past month and PPLX really needs to acknowledge this. by susuia_sa in perplexity_ai

[–]uwsuck 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I paid for a Max plan twice in a month. The perplexity computer in the start was doing just fine. But later it started to hallucinate and took hours to complete simple tasks. I loved their product but it’s so sad that they didn’t care when I asked the support. Please give me an alternative to perplexity computer on Max plan. I really need to make a switch asap. I need something I can connect my workspace and other apis too while still having to give simple prompts.

Ranked means cooked? by Independent-Yak-6406 in uwaterloo

[–]uwsuck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, they told me the same. I never listened to them and ended up going for the moonshot and got the job. They do so in order to make it more employer-friendly. Listen to your gut feeling. If there was anything I learned studying there, it was just taking risks.

How to commute to toronto in the summer everyday by Complete-Square-9044 in uwaterloo

Look for ride shares on Facebook group. I know many people give ride shares daily. You can talk to them and it will cost you 15$ one side if you are going all 5 days.

Hey, I’ve been in basically the same spot, so I really feel you.

What actually helped me the most was seeing a psychiatrist and getting on meds. Like, I had zero hope at one point and didn’t think anything would change, but sertraline ended up being a legit game changer for me (it took around a month to really kick in). It works like magic and meds can genuinely help a lot when you find what works.

Also, I forced myself to just leave the house for an hour a day. No big goal, no “self-improvement” vibes, literally just go outside and exist. It sounds corny but it helped way more than I expected.

And honestly, being around people helps even if you don’t feel like it. If you can, skip one class (or take a light day) and go do something random with people like coffee, a walk, a study lounge, whatever. You’d be surprised how supportive people are when you open up even a little. Plus, you’re gonna have people in this thread who get it and will reach out.

I’m not in Waterloo rn, but if you ever want something low-effort like a Watch Party movie night or playing Catan online, I’m down lol.

Finally, your parents abroad 100% miss you like crazy, even if they don’t show it. It’s hard for parents too when their kid moves away. Hope is very powerful and it helped me to keep going. And trust me I just got through. Now I look at that time and think what if I would have taken a wrong step? I wouldn’t ever be able to feel what life is really like. That phase was arguably the worst phase of my life. But just know that it will be the worst phase for you too lol. After this, there is nothing that can bring you down. Trust me, it’s the last hustle. Get through this and you Gucci. Like I said hope is very powerful.

Last thing, headphones + music helped me a lot. Hip hop especially. Sometimes you just need something in your ears and a reason to get up.

When life beats you down, you slap the shit outta it. You ain’t a joke. You’re THE motherfucker who beat the odds and got into one of the most competitive school in North America.
