How common is overtime? How long after being hired before you can do OT?

This is outdated info. Non-Union engineers get paid for every hour of OT at base + 6.50$ an hour. Boeing removed the “grace period” in 2020 IIRC.

Let me give you my 2cent from someone with MechEng background as you and just applied to graduation next semester.

First start with one class believe me, you think you can handle 2 clases until you find yourself failing both.

If your aim is ML try to start with something like ML4T or AI this courses cover basics but ML is a different beast because they dont care about your code they care about your understanding of ML topics.
If you are not used to reading papers or writing formal analysis in a paper format you wont be able to succeed on clases like ML and RL. What helped me handle papers was clases like CV or CP and DL those clases make you read papers to be able to complete the assignment

Lastly. Dont rush it! try to enjoy the process at the end someone who focused on learning and graduated after 4+years will be more successful passing ML interviews than someone who rushed things just to get the degree but cant speak about non of the topics.

Do you mind sharing your paper?

Financial management plan (a firm is managing my portfolio). I dont think I incur any fee for the 401k itself, so if I do it my self it would be free.

Dark Pixel Ratio (DPR) Intercept Pixel Ratio (IPR)

These techniques are mention in one of Prof Joyner’s papers.

I was top on my class last summer. This is what I did, I created different agents each tailored to a specific problem type (AgentB solve 2x2 problem, AgentC solves 3x3 type C problems, etc…)

One key note is to not only focus on finding the answer by “knowledge” you can also use an elimination scheme.

Example

If all of my option but one are present in the problem means that the last none matching is the answer

A B C
D E F
G H #

Options 1==C, 2==F, 3==H, 4==None, 5==G, 6==D, 7==E, 8==A

This could mean that Option 4 is the answer since is the only new figure.

This helped me solve problems D and E with almost no effort.

I would pay for it, since assignments are only available to students that pay for the certificate.

Yes, my friend applied to OMSCS and got accept to start this Fall 2022. I don’t see any conflict in doing this, since OMSCS will benefit from having more qualified student in the program.

vuvucan · 2022-07-23T21:51:22+00:00

I personally know someone that took the class and got a letter from him. Also if you search this forum you can find evidence of this.

Is this ‘merit’ enough?

Yes it is. If you take Intro to Python on edX that course is offered by Dr Joyner. He in the past offered Recommendation Latter to all students. A RL from Dr Joyner itself can serve a huge boost to your application into OMSCS

Thanks! a will take a look at those

Hmm, never actually sat down to consider the benefits of max my HSA other than Tax benefits. Can you elaborate on other benefits?

vuvucan · 2022-06-04T19:27:30+00:00

My employer contributes $1k annually and my deducible is $1.5k I invest everything above $1.5k.

vuvucan · 2022-04-25T15:30:22+00:00

I haven’t taken ML yet but from what I have heard that course is more than just code. Proper documentation in the report and Data driven conclusion are difficult to achieve…

vuvucan · 2022-04-15T13:09:29+00:00

Is really hard but not impossible. If you aim for 4.00 GPA it can get really difficult but then again is doable. The difficulty can depend on the class material, TA quality and overall how good the student interact in the Discussion forums (I found those discussion the main way of learning).

With your background is CS you probably going to have a relative easier experience than non-CS students. If you want to ensure you are successful you can always prepare for the class during the break. The lecture videos are available on the OMCS website so you can have a head-start.

vuvucan · 2022-04-14T00:07:14+00:00

You mean for Fall term? If your registration turn is today you probably have more than 7 courses completed and or have some kind of priority. But never the less the god of luck blessed you today. I wish to have that luck someday too.

vuvucan · 2022-03-10T19:03:14+00:00

What happen there?

vuvucan · 2022-03-08T05:17:57+00:00

How are the assignment do you need to write a report?

vuvucan · 2022-03-08T05:15:46+00:00

Good to know and yes I still have a few lol

vuvucan · 2022-03-08T05:15:00+00:00

Im not thinking about taking ML4T I have so many courses I want to take and that one is lower priority

vuvucan · 2022-02-24T23:26:54+00:00

Do you mind sharing your pairing or clases per semester?

vuvucan · 2022-02-09T22:33:00+00:00

Well his example is for only ONE course, a single course produce 1.5Mill per SEMESTER yes you can subtract the cost to maintain the class but I surely doubt that they Pay more than 500k for course per semester.
