I just advice dont do such odd jobs. These offers come through spam mails, whatsapp groups etc. These jobs will pay you- they are legit BUT in exchange you are selling your personal data, your expertise and your literal energy just for a weird job of “data labelling” or “ai training”. As you go further they even mail you at odd night hours to complete some shady and dark video annotations(of mature themes)/video ai training. Even if one person reads my post: I hope you don’t join this. Stay safe and away from shady jobs. I have seen all of this happen to real people in real documentaries. People enter a dark phase in their life due to such weird things. Money is legit- but people are tricksters.

Generally they outsource such manual ai jobs and annotation works to third world countries like ours.

If I have said anything wrong or you have any experiences then do share please. I am interested to hear out. Thnx.

I have got freeze dried coffee. And also a small weighing scale which has 2 modes (oz and grams). So I want to start exploring making coffees. If anyone got good proportions of coffee/water/milk used in Americano, latte and cappuccino:please tell me. I had starbucks coffees until now but I think I want to explore coffee making more if it(they are soo expensive nowadays). Thanks in advanced.

Please comment your motivational anime clips from youtube here- which you watch when you are unmotivated. I have watched one piece, aot, naruto, shippuden too, and also makoto shinkai all movies. Yeah and ghibli too. Asking because it’s a rough patch in my life since a week and I need something to lift my strength up again. I keep coming back to pain’s speech , captain erwins motivation :) But what are your thoughts ?

I feel tired out from code forces and I am not even a stable expert - its a shaky graph going up and down(not too sharply but smooth enough to degrade my confidence). Progress=zero. Drop your tips or study methods or anything useful.

My practice days of virtual contests nowadays look like- reading - getting stuck- getting hints and answers of D, E tough ones- and then gasp and copy the surprising solution from editorials.

I was in relationship with a girl for almost 2 years but broke up with her (almost 10 months ago) due to her creepy behaviour- like stalking me (via some weird third party friends) or getting out weirdly specific life info about me from some non related people. I felt threatened and unsafe so I broke up with her. Eventually met another nice girl and we are happy.

Now this weirdo ex got to know about her from our mutual friends(by some weird stalking skills again) and has restarted with her creepiness. I always have the habit to check on her profile pic of whatsapp(because she is a creep and sometimes did weird things in the past : by keep profile pic as self harm type quotes) - so yesterday night I saw she had kept a profile pic as full face pic of my current girl. I was so scared; I thought she might have confronted my girlfriend and talked some nonsense or tried to create some mess. So reluctantly and forcefully I texted her and asked her to remove her photo. But she said- I did it just to talk with you and all the stupid irrelevant things she said (she started ignoring my words and said “its raining here, weather is so good you must be here” like a psycho). I am so angry and so done with this girl :( please advise me what to do. I tried calling her but she blocked me there at night just to play games and also removed her profile pic to put me in more confusion. I guess the profile pic was just visible to me- but it’s still making me anxious. Didn’t sleep a wink last night : was so flustered and confused.

Before ANYONE judges me or says “mtechs cant do it” I just wanna tell that I am specialist (1530) on codeforces, I grind math and probability problems from US math contests to improve my cf skills overall. Also I participate in every contest on atcoder codeforces and sunday LC since last 8-9 months. Right now I am in final year re-preparing for gate , got 560 score in gate 2026 and will most probably get an old iit next year (gate 2027)- so please keep all hate to yourself. With this grinding for a few more months I will surely improve and reach better level on cf.

So just to keep some motivation in my heart- I wanna ask: which hfts allow mtechs to appear for Oa. Its not as if I am hell bent towards hft and its my sole reason for pursuing masters; but it would be a good vision in my mind to improve my cf and math skills.
Again reiterating - don’t hate on me for asking this question. Just reply if you have the answer or scroll off. Im really working hard in whatever position I currently stand.
