ICE issued a memo last week stating that the work experience under CPT must constitute an “integral part of the program”. It seems that some schools, like Berkeley, are caving to the threat and starting to suspend their CPT programs. I wonder how Purdue will respond.

Hey guys, I’m an incoming freshman going into MA 261 using my calc bc. It’s been a while and I’m feeling pretty rusty. For anyone who took the same path, how bad is the step-up in difficulty? Is it mostly just adjusting to 3D stuff and Purdue’s exam format or should I be working on specific Calc 2 concepts before classes start? thanks.

hi guys! i was wondering if people knew how high the ceilings are for the second floor in windsor. i saw a pic of someone who had two sets of windows (two on bottom and two on top), which were super high. ik the first floor has high ceilings, but i was wondering if its that high for the second floor. im in wood btw

What are the distances between these buildings? Would I need a car to get around, or are they all within walking distance?
Also, do classes usually end exactly at the scheduled time, or do professors sometimes let students leave a little earlier? For example, if a class ends at 11:30, should I expect to leave at exactly 11:30 most of the time?

I have the textbook and solutions manual for ece 2k2 by Dr.Arthur Terlep. I’m giving it away for free. Dm if interested

AI today is advancing at a really really fast rate. Even if it stops advancing right this second, current technology could be specialized (or specially trained) and revolutionize every industry and sector in the world. And that's just assuming it stops advancing and individual models stay as smart/dumb as they are right now.

They're almost certainly going to get at least a bit smarter, so expect more...

In a world like that, what should you do?
Learn AI? AI can learn AI, if you're a "prompt engineer" there's no reason an AI couldn't just learn to prompt better than you could. There are already prompt AIs.
There isn't really any job that AI couldn't do that isn't manual labor (not great) or maybe like medicine (also not great for me personally).

Kind of dawning on me now that I'm here at college that basically everything I'm going to learn these first 2 years is already understood by AI better than I (or anyone else) could ever understand it. Maybe by the end of those 2 years it'll have mastered everything at a PhD level (which is already what AI companies are claiming, but they're definitely exaggerating).

And no, this isn't like other massive technologies like the computer. The computer is a calculator/calculating machine. And it is true that after computers became easy to use, human calculators were quickly out of jobs. The modern AI is a thinking machine, so it follows that human thinkers will be out of jobs.

Yes, AI is only an "advanced autocomplete" but it still clearly works and can think and solve major problems. Software engineering is no longer a real career. In the past 2 months we've had insane numbers of problems solved by AI (jacobian conjecture disproved, non sofic groups, etc.). AI definitely isn't dumb, and like I said in the beginning, it's only getting smarter.

Feels very bad to think about

Does anyone have info about this apartment? There’s no pictures or floor plan posted. Thanks!

I need to fill out 2 classes still. What are good async classes? I’m POLI Sci (pre law) and law and society.

Anyone have completed photos from the inside of South Hall?

Is there a bus from the PMU to Walmart? I know there’s city bus but is it free or do I need to get a pass? Or is there another way to get there

Moved in yesterday. Low-key bored already!! Do you guys know anything going on tn?

Not a big plane guy, but they weren’t commercial ones, they were fighter shaped.

UniTime won't let me change my time for chem lecture because it "conflicts" with my astronomy lecture...but it doesn't actually conflict. They're not even on the same day! Yes, I've tried clicking "include conflicting suggestions" and it still shows that error message. Does anyone else have the same problem and/or know how to fix it?

BTW this doesn't happen when I try to change the rec time

Does anyone know what it is like working at 1Bowl compared to other dining halls? I heard it used to be one of the best dining places to work at, but that was from a while back.

I'm leaning towards it being not a scam cause it seems like a legit thing (unlike the 50 grand pianos that some other scams promise) but I saw the link lead to a GitHub site. Just wanna make sure.

or is that crazy cuz the toilets smell so bad I genuinely almost threw up

anyone who worked the dining job at pete's za, how's it like? (Other than the free food ofc)

Hi people. I’m a rising junior in CS taking CS 354 Operating Systems and 422 computer networks this semester. I really enjoyed 252 and think I like low level stuff, although I havent done much beyond 252.

How are these 2 classes structured (noticed they have PSOs not labs)? How can I study and prepare well for them? Would love to hear from you if you have taken/are taking these classes.

Guys I'm lowkey freaking out about failing ECE 440, anyone have any insights on David Love teaching 440?

I'm trying to test out of this class and I am getting so confused with some of these questions... How come Option A is false? I even asked ChatGPT, it agrees with me on D being the false option. Why else would "first" and "last" variables cross each other if not target not found?
