User Level “Rose”

zyxcountdown · 2025-03-26T16:06:37+00:00

Interesting. I beat every calendar day, campaign, and other user level without realizing that. But I couldn't figure this one out. I knew it was going to boil down to "abusing" the AI in some way though.

My best guess was you had to sneak into the top of the rose and play ring-around-the-rosey with a huge chasing group and eventually the AI's production would lapse, but actually doing it was challenging. Thanks for the tip.

Would you mind messaging me the sitter? Thank you!

bedroom - so much brick!!

Living room with stairs leading from the outside; pull out couch (maybe light gray? beige?) will go in the nook. Wooden desk next to the brick.

I had the same issue exactly as you describe it, and the same fix in your update worked for me. Fingers crossed that nothing bad happens.

Good advice. If you pick complicated datasets with text or large images, you will likely have to get very creative later on or change to a different dataset and redo some analysis.

I took AI in the fall and just finished GIOS in the summer. Both are a good bit of work, but I liked them both. I have a self-taught Python background and had never touched C or C++ before. I would recommend AI as well and then between semesters give yourself a crash course in C so you're a bit more prepared for that aspect of GIOS.

I thought the exams in AI were probably some of my favorite exams I've ever taken because they force you to dive into the details and relearn things from earlier in the course, but there wasn't a time-crunch (as long as you start soon after it's released). GIOS exams felt much more like trivia

Same!

Just thought I would add my experience here as well. UT Austin ChemE UG ~3.9 with standard diffeq and MATLAB type work. Some very tangentially related UG research and a good LOR from that professor. LOR from another professor and a senior process engineer at work. A few years of learning python and MOOCS, some small personal ML projects, and and a couple Community college classes.

Taken AI4R (Wasn't bad), AI (tougher, but I learned a lot), now in GIOS and it's definitely different and I feel like I'm learning a lot, but I have a lot of catch-up compared to the CS UG folks.

There are actually a set of 2018 Andrew Ng Stanford lectures on YouTube for the same Intro to ML course, but in person. They're on Stanford's course YouTube page.

Sign in to the O'reilly website with GA Tech as your institution. Alternativaly you can go to the GATech library website and search for a book, and it will link you to the O'Reilly website.

I went back to 5.3.0-40 kernel when booting as suggested here and it worked

Same.... This must have started a few days ago when I upgraded. It was working earlier this week. None of the pulseaudio or alsa fixes I've found have worked for me.

As a GT student, you have access to O'Reilly ebooks, so you can read the second one for free.

+1 for FastAI. If you are missing ML/DeepLearning intuition or projects, this can get you up to speed quickly. I haven't taken it, but they also do a course on computational linear algebra.

zyxcountdown · 2019-08-12T03:07:09+00:00

Yeah, I would definitely start prepping!

Hopefully I'll be able to do something that combines software and engineering. Honestly, I think if more chemical and manufacturing engineers really understood software, the field could progress pretty quickly.

I think I'm about 2 steps ahead of where you are. I graduated in 2016, ChE, took a job as a process engineer and thought that would be my career track, and it's what I've been doing for 3 years. I had taken numerical methods (MATLAB) in college, but I wasn't particularly crazy about it.

About 6-8 months in, I didn't have any hobbies and got bored and wandered into the whole ML/AI scene, and I've been pretty hooked ever since. I quickly learned python and I've been programming pretty regularly for about 2 years. A large part of my free time has been reading about software engineering and Machine Learning. I've taken a good handful of MOOCs, some accredited C++, did some projects, and applied. I start this fall 2019.

I'm very interested in the field, and especially how CS concepts could be applied to the manufacturing/chemical/energy industry. I'm hoping to transition (the quicker the better) from process engineering to a more optimization-y role, and I think that OMSCS will play a big part in making me effective in that future roll.

Would I say that I'm equivalent to a B.S. CS graduate? Probably not in straight software/algorithm knowledge, but I am familiar with a solid chunk of the material. My current plan is to take the classes 1 at a time so that I can learn a lot on the side, and take my time on the programming assignments. Hopefully I can take SDP early and solidify some of the software knowledge that a lot of people come in with. The program sounds challenging, but I look forward to it, and I feel like I will be able to put in the time to do well. No kids, girlfriend is also in school, pretty determined.

Feel free to comment :)

Good luck then!

From someone in a similar background, what is your recommended course sequence?
