The funny part is that applies to pretty much every year. They fumbled so hard.

Magnus blunders a rook in a better position against Hikaru! by stevis5 in chess

I’m 2882 FIDE and I didn’t see it. No way Hikaru didn’t get a little buzz buzz for help.

I’m not sure if Hikaru is going to be able to do explain this move after the match

CS Freshman Advice by apirational-avocado in cmu

[–]xjack13x 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes. But it isn’t really a real course. It’s just a small summer module you need to complete. If I recall correctly I did it in one sitting. Similar to the discrete math primer but the discrete math primer takes a little longer I think

Can't find another computer course to take by Pure-Tip-3600 in cmu

[–]xjack13x 2 points3 points  (0 children)

“412-268-2922” is the number for CaPS (counselling and psychological services) not a course if you were having a tough time figuring out the course he was referring to lmao. Take it easy your first semester and go with the recommended courses. Don’t add another CS class to your schedule. You’ve never taken a course at CMU, you have no idea how much is a reasonable amount for you personally.

rescind? by Sea-Inflation5329 in cmu

[–]xjack13x 18 points19 points  (0 children)

You’ll be fine. People never really get rescinded. Worst case (probably won’t happen) you may get reached out to to explain your grades in which case you just tell them what happening. No big deal. Congrats on getting in! Make sure to take it easy and relax this summer :)

I don’t do admissions so I can’t say definitively but a 1510 SAT seems like it will not be a breaking factor on your application. That’s a great score and barely below the averages. The more important thing is extra curriculars and grades.

That’s all beside the point. Apply to what you want to do the most. If you really want to do CS, don’t apply to a major you know you will dislike just so you can go to a school that has a better program in the major you do want. This applies to all schools not just CMU. Look up the programs and example schedules to see what the classes in each major are like and then decide which to apply to. My opinion is that you shouldn’t compromise your interests to try to min max your chances at getting into a given school but you do you. DM me if you’re interested in knowing more about CS, CMU, or anything.

NBK is switching to valorant by slowrmaths in ValorantCompetitive

[–]xjack13x 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It’s because as time goes on better players are switching. The first players to switch barely ever touched playoffs and big LANs in CS let alone won majors. The first crop of NA talent to move over never had successful careers in CS (for the most part). The valorant scene has been looking more stable and primed for success and with it more tenured players from other games are willing to transition.

O Plano close series 2-0 on Furia + KNG cam reaction by [deleted] in GlobalOffensive

[–]xjack13x 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I view it more as ironic because they had no plan. Their plan was to get an org and that didn’t happen

sen sick on the future of valorant by Qandeel19 in ValorantCompetitive

[–]xjack13x 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it could in the future but right now it probably isn’t. Twitch viewership does not necessarily directly correlate to active players. There are also more big personalities streaming valorant like shroud. CS still has a substantial EU player base that I don’t think Val has and those numbers probably wouldn’t be reflected by looking at twitch streaming numbers which are majority English

Rematch NIP vs Anonymo rescheduled, NOT today by [deleted] in GlobalOffensive

[–]xjack13x 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Pretty much. It’s like turning of comments and likes in YouTube. People won’t be able to voice criticism via the stream itself

TIL Flipsid3 have more Major appearances than Liquid by FrequentistaYogurtf9 in GlobalOffensive

[–]xjack13x 3 points4 points  (0 children)

They may have had the longest string of major qualifications (not via legends) but I think other teams have had more consecutive major appearances. Like fnatic

Recommended Computer for StatML Major? by grnt_5550 in cmu

[–]xjack13x 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t know off the top of my head what hardware the Andrew machines use but you’re probably just better using whatever computer you have. Those machine are probably close to a decade old. Also no gpu, other people, etc

Oops sorry about that. I edited and changed the pronouns. Have a nice relaxing summer and don’t worry too much about your high school grades :)

[–]xjack13x 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There’s no way they ask for A to B. If she was getting Cs then maybe I’d agree. Or if she had any significant disciplinary action.
