Hey everyone, I’m currently doing my Artificial Intelligence master thesis. The thesis is about extending the art experience of paintings. To do this, I try to convert paintings into sound, and to evaluate the results I need your input. You’ll be asked to select your preferred sound for a painting. Some audio fragments can sound quite similar. However, you’re only allowed to select one option at a time, so choose carefully.
You’re not expected to answer all questions and you can stop whenever you want and continue for as long as you like. You can also continue at any time when using the same browser on the same machine. I hope you enjoy doing this survey, every answer helps! :)

First off people claim that Standardized Tests like the SAT are meant to level the playing field however they don't. There is a multi-billion dollar industry which people of socio-economic means can use to essentially "cheat" the system. If you're not born wealthy you might not be able to afford the $3,000 course to “prepare for the test” or get the special tutors to help you do well.
As a result Standardized Tests don't value things like diversity or creativity. They reduce people to from individuals with personalities, hopes, dreams, aspirations, and talents down to a single number by which they are to be judged for their entire lives.
Judging people through things like interviews or personality assessments is a much better way of choosing the next generation of potential leaders.
Each town is managing distribution to residents.
I see from my town’s website that they are distributing tests Friday morning, but there’s no guidance on prioritization.
U/senatorduff, shouldn’t people with symptoms or recent exposure be prioritized for receiving these? I’m asking about self-selection; as someone who has no symptoms or known exposure, I should choose not to go get one to allow neighbors in greater need to take advantage of the limited supply, correct?
Like for example if the students in a school are not performing academically with proof through their testing scores, does the school lose funding or gain funding?
And no, I'm not talking about one student failing. I'm talking about an overall academic performance score.
Hi reddit,
I am hoping someone has experienced something similar and might be able to calm my nerves.
I developed severe anxiety and depression throughout my PhD and only decided to address it after i'd submitted my thesis and defended. I began seeing a psychologist which has helped in the sense that I feel like I am being proactive about my mental health, but i've only had a few sessions, so I still have a long way to go.
The problem is my depression seems to have taken a toll on my intellectual abilities. I struggle to retain information or remember an article I’ve read only a day ago. It takes me hours to put together one paragraph and even then it ends up being so poorly written. I struggle to contribute to most conversations because my thoughts are so muddled up. At times it feels like I’m illiterate. My psychologist says that depression can do that - having negative thoughts about yourself all the time can hinder your performance.
Basically, I feel like an idiot. I’m living with constant brain fog. I really enjoy academia, or at least I used to when I felt I could function. Does it get better? Has anyone experienced this before and managed to get back to their pre-depressed self?
Edit: Thank you to everyone who took the time to reply to my post. I have not been able to respond to everything, but I really appreciate the kindness, advice, and support you have given me. I am also happy to see that it has helped others, too!
I haven’t been employed anywhere else but I’ve seen the above happen at my company twice now and I was just really curious. I’ve always thought they prioritized the latter but it seems like our organization has a different perspective.
Context: Employees A and B have better backgrounds than Employees C and D but aren’t the best-performing among the candidates. C and D barely have absences and have met the target quotas more times than A and B but came from less popular universities and companies. All of them do not have connections within the company but both A and B got promoted while C and D retained their positions and have to wait for the next batch of promotions.
Was this uncommon and was our organization wrong for that? Or does this happen at other companies too? Thanks!
EDIT: I would just like to clarify that I am NOT Employee A, B, C, or D. I am not qualified for a promotion yet since I need another year or maybe more but this is just my actual observation. I may have also sounded a bit biased in this post since I personally saw how C and D worked and thought management did them dirty. I probably missed some stuff behind the scenes. Thanks!
After doing some light reading on recently published papers on lithium metal cells, I've come to a realization that the 3.4 atm and 0 pressure operation that QS sees as a minimum standard are much more important and novel than many think. The vast majority of similar academic efforts where cells are cycled for at least 1000 cycles, at room temperature and with similar efficiencies and current densities (1C or higher up to 5-10C) are done under conditions of absolutely extreme pressure. The lowest so far that I have seen is 1-2MPA, or 150-300 psi or 10-20 atm. Compositions range from ceramic to sulfide separators to full solid catholytes. The dendritic suppression in these experiments may be a split factor between the pressure and the chemical/structure of the test materials which makes a sub 1MPA cell that operates at 1C, 25Cel, 1000+ cycles all the more impressive. (For reference, the often posted/cited harvard sandwich blt cell operated at room temp with spectacular cycling and charge resistance/conductivity, but with 75MPA-250MPA of pressure (700-2000ATM).
For me personally, a nominal pressure application is probably the greatest limiter to high battery operation. Higher temperatures can be facilitated by circulating waste heat from inverter/stator coolant, or even just by normal operation of the battery. But you can't siphon pressure from somewhere you have to apply it statically and additional weight from pressure apparatuses would exponentially increase weight and decrease gravimetric/volumetric density.
And now for the obligatory address to competition, pressure is conspicuously the one metric that is rarely mentioned by peers in the space. Just like in the 3 ideal gas laws, if you increase temperature, and decrease charge rate you can lower the operating pressure as the lithium is softened by the temperature and ions dont stack into dendrites. If you increase the pressure you can lower temperature and increase charge rate near exponentially since the lithium is also compressed into a pseudo-liquid gel state. Going off an assumption of the worst, QS' battery lost about a rough 10-20% of its performance by dropping ~3 ATM for its 0 pressure, 1 layer cell.
If we assume the worst for competitors and place their pressure at say 6ATM/90PSI, roughly double what QS is operating under (for the sake of argument, i estimate at least greater than QS' 3ATM or else a competitor would have gladly released pressure data to one up a rival), halving their opera
... keep reading on reddit ➡Today I received a notification from grainger detailing the above. While I am on academic probation, I took over the 12 credit hour minimum, passed every single one of my classes (lowest grade a C+) and scored a gpa of 3.15. Can someone please explain if I’m missing something or if this has to be a mistake on their side because I’m panicking and super confused.
Thanks!
Maybe it helps in academia or on the contrary makes studying harder for you? Share your experience.
Hey y'all,
I've mostly made my mind up on this. But I do value the input of all of you fine folks. So, here goes.
I am semi-non-trad; took two years off after high school; switched majors three times; am now 23 with just under two years to go in my undergrad.
Currently, my plan is to finish my degree and prereqs in the summer of 2023. Then I will take 3-4 month to study full-time (40 hours a week type shit) for the MCAT and take it in Dec 2023/Jan 2024 to apply during the 2024 cycle.
So this is where my question lies. Should I push myself to take the MCAT while I'm in school? So that I get it done early enough to apply in 2023.
I am generally an A student (AMCAS cGPA 3.82, AMCAS sGPA 3.99). But I've achieved this by knowing my limits with school and volunteering. Honestly, I'd be worried about my GPA and MCAT performance if I was juggling studying for the two at the same time.
What do you think?
Is applying a year earlier worth potentially inhibiting my ability to score well on the MCAT and maintain As?
Like I said, I'm pretty much decided on taking the time I think I need. But I wanted to ask this question because I feel like there are a lot of people on this path that I've met that have stretched themselves too thin for the sake of getting things done faster.
Thank you for your replies in advance.
Happy new years :)

ask for disability information? Is it safe to share info with firms, or must one be discriminating with what kind of firms/employers deserver, or inversely, cannot be trusted with such info.
Me (20M) and my girlfriend are both enroled in the same course at university.
She keeps comparing my grades with hers and exposing my approach on studying methods.
Lately this has been a recurrent topic, since our grades play a huge roll in deciding what opportunities we can choose upon in a near future.
I feel unconfortable when she starts this type of conversation, specially because she always brings it up in a public situation among our group of friends. I laught it off, but it trully hurts inside...
I'm afraid to talk about this with her, since it may also hurt her and I don't know if that's the way she copes with the fact her academic results haven't been that great.
She has been very impactful in the recent sucess on my academic journey, but I believe it doesn't give her the right to use that as a way to justify what she says about it.
How should I approach this situation? 😢
If so, does it have to come back completely clean or just under a certain threshold? I smoke nightly, but usually just a small hit from a bowl or half an edible. I’m not sure how that would come back on a drug test and if I should take a break for a bit.
Edit: I was unclear sorry, I meant to say state of CT government jobs, not just jobs in state.
I switched from online class to in-person class this fall. The students performed terribly on the exams. They seem to be motivated in class. My midterm is closed-book, closed-notes, their grades are horrible. I decided to give them a break, make final exam online and open-book, very little improvement. Looks like the students lost direction where to put their effort. By the way, the subject is not hard. This course has been a GPA bumper before the pandemic. Just feel disappointed. Anybody has similar experience?
Hey everyone, I'm a HS senior, just finished applying, I wanted to play intercollegiate Soccer. However, I do not know if I am good enough to play well while mainting good grades. People say intercollegiate is extremely difficult, but the level of play I have seen on youtube is close to HS level. I also don't want to allow this to stop me from getting good grades. Are any of you planning on playing soccer or any sport at college? if so, do you plan on letting that get in your way to good academic scores? If I want straight A's am I better off not playing intercollegiate?
Thank you.
Has anyone taken their NIC performance test in Connecticut in Winstead? Can anyone tell me about the testing center, etc?
