Local Landlord rents parking spots out to random people who don't live in the building

0 Upvotes

Probably not illegal, just kinda annoying because theres a wait list for new tenants to get a spot in our complex's garage. Its sus too because these people don't live here and have access to the gated areas. I think they work in the area and park here because the lot is half empty at night but completely full during the day, which is odd to see for an apartment.

Just felt like complaining cause shit is wack, but whatever.

CS/EECS EECS MEng DS concentration vs MAIML

2 Upvotes

Hello everyone. I want to apply for a Masters degree at Berkeley that focuses on AI/ML so narrowed it down to EECS MEng Data Science concentration and the newly launched Masters in AI and Machine Learning (MAIML). The difference I see between the two of them is the capstone project and the "holistic" approach from MEng. You get leadership classes, project management, etc. Whereas on MAIML you get access to the same courses as EECS MEng but these holistic classes are replaced with AI Seminars and other stuff taking up credits that doesn't seem to add value to the student (like the silicon valley immersion, 2 days having lunches with paid people).

So, now I don't know which one to apply to because coursework is basically the same but since MAIML is new, i'd say they will accept more people and it will be less competitive since it's less known. So easier to get admitted.

I am from Colombia, trying to breakthrough AI. No research experience 3.66/4 GPA, 2 degrees (one in CS other in telecommunications), toefl 5/6 and 5 years of experience with US companies as SWE and AI Engineer... I'm trying to make a decision because I can only apply to one program per cycle.

Any thoughts, help or ideas here is more than welcome!

Location: 7-minute walk to campus!

Apartment details:
- Fully furnished bedroom, living room, and kitchen
- In-unit washer and dryer
- Really nice balcony
- WiFi already paid for
- Kitchen and bathroom are already fully set up
- Super close to campus, restaurants, coffee shops, and other food spots
- Street parking available (8-hour limit, free after 6 PM)
- Cozy apartment in an area where we’ve felt really safe!

About the roommates:
- All my roommates are female UC Berkeley students and transfers!

The apartment is already furnished and move-in ready, so you honestly wouldn’t need to bring much besides your clothes and personal belongings!

Please text me if you’re interested or have any questions!!

Whats it like now? I'm aware of the Haas alumni and networking perks but can Econ get you through the same door when graduating into the work force? I know it depends on how hard you work but I want to see pro's vs con's for both.

University Making friends

22 Upvotes

Why is it so hard to make friends here?
I’m a freshman at Cal coming from the East Coast, and I’ve been struggling to find genuine friendships. This week, I started realizing that someone I considered a friend might not see me the same way. She never texts me unless I reach out first. I made a lot of efforts building such friends, and it’s made me question whether the friendship is mutual.
I’ve joined a few clubs and genuinely enjoy spending time there, but those connections never seem to go beyond meetings or organized socials. I also feel like I made the wrong choice with my dorm, Bowles. The atmosphere feels a little cult-like to me, and I just haven’t clicked with the people there.
I’ve moved around my entire life—different places, schools, and countries—but I’ve never had this much trouble finding people I connect with.
I just want people to spend time with and friendships that feel mutual. Has anyone else felt this way here?

Well I learned my lesson from not doing research before signing up for this, so posting this to warn my fellows if you didn’t know.

This is how much they charge you for getting the pictures even digital it’s worth ten meals.

I know they charge a lot but not this much! Additionally the pictures were ass.

Basically a lot of the cheap barber shops have a bunch of macho male hairstylists and it’s not my vibe. I’m a woman & somewhat alt and would prefer that my stylist was also a woman and that the environment feels at least a little bit more accepting. My budget is $35 at most and preferably closer to $20.

anyone who took this class (or cdss 60/ data 94) do you mind sharing what grade got you an A? There is no grading bin in the syllabus and i am unsure I am doing as well as I hoped.
