Going on exchange to U-M in Aug next year (4 months). what should I expect?

Title.

Also, best stuff to do in campus? Clubs, extra-curricular activities, courses.

And best spots in town? I like underground music, bars, sports, meeting people. Basically spots that feel alive.

Thx

UX Design is the most important part of a company. Upvote if you agree

I really do think it's the most important part of a company.

The thing I would say is…

A product would be nothing without a great user experience. A beautiful one, artistically subtle in a way that science can't capture. And I find that fascinating. None of this would have a hope of existing if not for UX designers.

UX Design sits at the intersection between technology and liberal arts. I used to neglect it, and believe me, I've made this mistake probably more than anybody else... I've got the scar tissue to prove it. But since I gave UX the importance it deserves, things changed completely.

So yeah, one of the things I've always found is that you've got to start with the customer experience and work backwards to the technology. You can't start with the technology and try to figure out where you're going to try to sell it. UX design is exactly what you need.

UX helps you to make things people love. You've got to find what you love, and that is as true for work as it is for your lovers.

Life can be much broader once you discover one simple fact. And that is, UX Design is crucial. It's vital.

You can't make fun of us, criticize us, glorify or vilify us. About the only thing you can't do is ignore us. Because we change things. We push the company forward.

So yeah guys, shake off this erroneous notion that UX design isn't that important.

I think that’s very important and however you learn that once you learn it, you’ll want to dedicate your life to it.

Once you learn that you’ll never be the same again.

Que tan chota es la reputación de la siglo 21? Doy un poco de info también por si alguien la estaba considerando

Acabo de arrancar abogacía en la S21 en paralelo a mi carrera "de verdad" (la que me tomo en serio, negocios digitales en UdeSA). No pienso ejercer, pero sí quiero tener una base sólida de derecho para, en general, saberme defender y conocer las variables que puede haber en juego en mi vida a nivel legal y procedimental. No lo encaro como algo profesional, aunque sí sé que me sirve para leer contratos y todo eso. La realidad es que me persigo mucho por no entender la ley. Por lo tanto, siento que conocer de derecho me puede dejar un poco más tranquilo, especialmente si soy abogado matriculado en la jurisdicción y conozco a los jueces. Saber que puedo intimar legalmente siendo abogado y que mi firma tiene peso. Sumado a que me gusta la política y quizá me meta más adelante. Y también, suma al CV/LinkedIn (o no, dependiendo de cómo lo veas, ya voy a eso).

Cuestión: arranqué ya, 100% a distancia, y realmente es una boludez, y si vos querés te podés machetear en todo. Lo único presencial es la tesina y creo que unos parciales que tenés a mitad de carrera. No voy a machetearme, pero mi idea es solo estudiar antes de los parciales y finales, morfarme todos los "módulos" que te dan y no ir a ninguna clase "de consultas". De hecho, ni hay clases, cosa que no sabía, pero no me jode dadas mis circunstancias. No me jode recibirme sin ser bueno, pero voy a exigirme al punto de que sea decente y pueda versear y no hacer agua. Antes que me puteen: no me considero par con aquellos de ustedes que estudien en un lugar más serio; esto realmente es un chiste, y aconsejo que solo estudien acá si tienen que cumplir con "estudiar una carrera" con sus padres o si laburan todo el día.

Mis preguntas:

Creen que resta ponerlo en el CV? Me interesa si cambia según quién lo lee, porque no es lo mismo un estudio jurídico que RRHH de una empresa o una startup. A alguien le pasó que le hicieran un comentario o una pregunta incómoda en una entrevista o en general por el título de la S21? Que tan chota se percibe la universidad ?

Urgent: Need help with a team of agents for political/legal work

Not really work but it's hard to explain in the title. Tomorrow I have a sort of "MUN"-ish competition, but instead of MUN, it's my country's politics. Hard to explain, but it's university level and a big deal. And I'll represent my university in the parlament, and I want to optimize my workflow. Since I'm also a AI Agent user, I might as well make a workflow with agents.

The simulation is this, we built a draft project (mine will likely be voted), and then we will amend article by article, and discuss it. That's it. Lobbying and all of that will be done, but it's trivial. I want to have several agents with different tasks. I have a lot of compute so don't worry.

The idea is to have all the Argentine legal documents (especially regarding gambling, which is what the debate is about), so the constutiton, criminal code, civil code, commercial code, and whatnot. Jurisprudence too, I guess. And for it to know when to route to each, so when to consult each not to waste the context window. All of them being in .md to be token efficient.

I will obviously have the creative and final decision, I want there to always be a human in the loop, but the idea is to have some dude who tells me "wait, what he's saying violates art. 1231 of the criminal code and art. 33 of criminal code, and the consitution too, and jurisprudence says x", whatever. You get the gist. Apologies for my English, too.

Any ideas?

Best AI stack as of literally now?

I have Claude Code CLI (Claude Max) and the Fable restriction was really painful. I also have Antigravity CLI (Gemini Pro) for images and more trivial questions, and opencode (free tier) for extremely trivial tasks where I can burn tokens without caring at all.

All in VSCode. I used to use PyCharm (I have GitHub Education so i have it for free) but I don't like it.

I usually do full stack web dev, and sometimes Python with pandas, requests, beautifulsoup and others, for scraping, data analysis, visualization, etc. The usual stuff.

I use DataGrip for SQL DBs

If someone gives a counterfeit watch as a "gift" and later sleeps with the recipient, is that fraud? Where's the actual line?

To be clear up front, needless to say this is a hypothetical I've been arguing about with a friend, not something anyone's planning to do obviously. We got stuck on where the legal line actually sits and I'd love input from people who actually practice.

Scenario: A guy presents himself as wealthy, rented luxury car, a counterfeit high-end watch on his own wrist (assume a Patek), edited/curated social media with tons of fake followers, the whole image you can imagine, photoshoped pictures, really nice feed showing a desirable lifestyle, etc. He DMs a supermodel on social media, asks her out, they go on a date with a rented porsche 911 lets say, and at some point gives her a counterfeit luxury watch as a surprise "gift." He never says a word about it being real or fake. They later have consensual sex after the really nice date. No agreement is ever stated, nothing is framed as an exchange. Afterward she learns the watch is fake and wants to sue.

No literal verbal lies were ever made. He never said "this car is mine", "the watches are real". So what happens?

My questions:

  1. For a fraud claim, doesn't she have to prove reliance and damages? If it was framed as a gift with no stated condition, is there even consideration to point to? She still physically has the watch. She was obviously deceived, but it can't really be proven.
  2. Where's the line between "deception that's just self-presentation" (makeup, photoshopped pics, fake designer clothes, lying about wealth, shoe lifts) versus deception the law actually treats as fraud? People misrepresent status in dating constantly and it's obviously not illegal, so what specifically changes when a counterfeit object is involved? Or even if we set that aside, the whole "I'm extremely rich, let's have sex" is really common and clearly deceitful. Just go to Miami. Many people with rented cars, fake watches, fake designer clothes.

Maybe giving a fake watch is a crime in of itself, if so, set that aside and just focus on the whole deceiving wealth.

Trying to overhaul my wardrobe with less "streetwear"-ish clothes. Any advice for the transition?

What are the essentials? I'm 21 and just started my first office job, so I need formal clothing in general, regardless of how I dress in my everyday life. I've also realized I prefer a "smart casual" look over sneakers and the like in general, so I'm steering clear from the whole baggy jeans, sneakers, and flashy chains look. That said, I don't want to become the LinkedIn guy who wears a quarter-zip 24/7 and acts like he's superior to everyone. It's a balance.

I'm steering away from suits for now, too. For the office they're fine, essential even, but I also go to college and there it'd be overkill. Kids go on graphic t-shirts, and rolling in wearing a suit would be a "who do you think you are?" move, and it'd be stiff and out of place. Like the "what getting +500 LinkedIn connections does to a mf" meme. It's an internship at a regular company, it's not that I'm an Ivy League Goldman kid. It's like showing up with the patagonia vest and a shirt, it's eyerolling for that setting. It'd be a really radical change. In my country we call those people "fantasmas"

Any advice? I really like chinos. And I'm keeping some of my straighter-cut jeans (I'm not a fan of skinny or baggy). I'm looking to revamp my wardrobe comprehensively, and I'd appreciate any guidance. Thanks!

Edit: If relevant to say, I have a few watches that could pair well: Black dial rolex daytona, "pepsi" acquaracer GMT (black face but red/blue dive bezel so it's versatile), and im probably gonna buy a cartier tank for more formal ballroom-esque events. I have a gray moonswatch too, and a bunch of old casios that are not in the best condition. And a garmin.

American tech worker relocating to Buenos Aires, is Bajo Flores a decent area to live?

Moving to BA soon for a tech job. I've been looking at Barracas and San Martín, but Bajo Flores and Dock Sud keep coming up and the rent seems cheap. Is it actually a good place to live, or am I missing something? Looking for safety, good commute, good vibes overall. Thanks!

Artists who tap into THAT, whatever 'that' may be, they communicate that transcendent thing that not everyone does. You can't articulate it, it lives in a plane beyond reason.

Artists who reach into that one thing you get but can't explain, and it's amazing, beautiful and lives in a gaseous state like a dream. Life in its scope.

Some examples IMO:

- Andres Calamaro

- Syd Barrett

- Tanguito

- Pink Floyd (Roger Waters era)

- Aphex Twin

- Daniel Johnston

- Lou Reed

- Bob Dylan

- Vox Dei

- Atahualpa Yupanqui

- The doors?

- Whirr?

- Julee Cruise / Angelo Badalamenti / David Lynch

- Spiritualized?

- The Verve?

- The Field

- Joy Division

- Radiohead?

- Swans

- Fishmans

- Daft Punk

Obviously this is subjective by nature and there's no criteria whatsoever, I want to see what you guys think. I'm more rock centric so I'm biased in that way. Open to any genre.

Whoever came to your mind with what I said, even if it's not clear, is exactly who I want you to say. Just drop the names.

For MySQL: DataGrip vs. MySQL Workbench vs. VSCode extensions

Hey guys, I'm quite new in SQL, I learnt MySQL in college and we used the workbench. I'm building a DB for a project and since I have GitHub education, I have Jetbrains, so I can get DataGrip.

I know it has some nice features like export to JSON, but I haven't tried it yet. I just redeemed GH ed. So I can't try it out yet, in 72 hours I'll be able to download it.

My question is, what's the best way for you? I'm doing fine with the workbench, but maybe it can be better.

Edit: When I say "VSCode extension" I mean a certain extension that lets you work with SQL in there. I don't know the actual technical term but you get what I'm saying.

Abogacía siglo 21 100% a distancia

Alguno acá hizo abogacía a distancia en la siglo 21?

Alguna referencia? Tengo 20, laburo todo el dia por dos mangos, vivo en una villa y la paso para el orto. Me salió todo mal en la vida, no se si estoy pagando deudas de vidas pasadas, pero bueno. Me hubiera encantado estudiar en la UBA pero no me da el tiempo por el trabajo.

Tengo entendido que ni tenés que asistir a las clases en la 21. Yo leo mucho así que estudiaría asincrónicamente.

La idea es estudiar con una modalidad super flexible y online, recibirme, y después conseguir algún laburo en algún estudio que me pague para llegar a fin de mes. No pretendo ser un gran abogado. Con tal de salir adelante estoy bien. Después veré si meto algún posgrado.

Creo que me puedo becar, vale la pena? Alguna referencia?

Why are AI models getting more expensive?

The trend before was that models became less expensive for their capabilities, many corporations bet on that, and it backfired. Opus 4.7, GPT 5.5, Gemini 3.5 flash. Pretty more expensive than expected. Especially the latter for what it's worth. Any reason why? I know there are more parameters, but is that the only reason?

edit: im talking about frontier models.

As a beginner, should I switch to PyCharm? (I got it for free)

Hey guys, I got Jetbrains for free with all of their IDEs via GitHub education. I'm a beginner and only know React, Express, MySQL, some vanilla JS (no TS), Vanilla python (some requests/beautifulsoup, matplotlib but almost nothing else), and that's pretty much it.

I like VSCode and feel no urge to change, but everyone says how Jetbrains is an upgrade. But the reasons why seem too advanced for me. Is it a net positive improvement for someone in my situation?

I was thinking of using DataGrip instead of the MySQL Workbench, and possibly PyCharm Pro instead of VSCode for everything Python and JS related.

Again, it's free, so I don't mind trying it out, but what are the perks, translated for someone like me
