What if I don't join the slack

I've read that slack is not important nor matters too much other than having more projects. I just feel like I don't need more projects heh the ones I'm given and doing is enough for me, so what if I don't join it?

IE masters as a CS?

How would you find the synergy between the two careers ? As we all know cs market is very hard right now, and to be frank I don’t want to be in the industry anymore, this AI push and “vibe code” nonsense took out the joy out of it from me. I’m currently in the fortunate position where I’m able to go to university one more time, I just don’t want to mess it up and well this is an investment so I still need to make the choice not only in a “what I like scope” but in a “what will bring returns” in that sense. With that said, I’ve been debating into studying BS ME or go and apply for a MS IE, I’ve seen online and it seems like cs merge well with optimization and operations but how works that look? Realistically what type of position would I be able to get with a BS CS + MS IE combo?

ABET accreditations

Hi I'll be quick, does anyone know the difference between a ABET accreditation By Engineering Accreditation Commission and a Engineering Technology Accreditation Commision.
If a masters program says "The degree must be from an American Board of Engineering Technology (ABET) accredited college or university or equivalent" would these two accreditation be equivalent since they are both ABET?

Prospect online student

Hey, I’m thinking of going into the online program for ME, I was wondering if any of you had any experience on the online degrees and specially if it was on ME (or stem related). Also heard classes are around 11 weeks? Which seems not enough time, did it seem like a lot of workload ?

Parents wants to waste money on college, change major ?

Okay so I'm a Cs (ik) graduate, problems yadayayda.

My parents are insistent in my studying more, since well, I'm not really doing anything w my career atm lol. They are very much in the believe that "university is never a waste of money" which I agree til a certain extend.

I do enjoy academia, I do enjoy Cs, but a masters seems like such a waste of time and money unless I go into ML/AI which I would NOT study, I do not enjoy it at all. Now, I know basically every career is kinda cooked right now, but, I would like to listen ppls opinions in what would be their choice? MS? or a second bachelor's, I've thought about ME or perhaps ECE(more cooked than cs tho) but I honestly have no idea what ME looks like or if is even a good combo with my CS degree. I've considered trade but honestly I can do trade at any point in my life, is harder to go to college later in life than a trade job which is the reason I rather take the opportunity my parents offering, I just don't want to mess it up.

Masters ?

Hey, so has anyone done a masters at UoPeople? I have a Bs in CS. My selection would have to be MS in information technology, if anyone has done this, how hard is it? I’ve read the curriculum and it seems very basic, but I could be mistaken, let me y’all experience in getting a masters, I suppose in any of the three areas since I would assume going from a Bs to Ms is a different outlook from none to a Bs

Career change?

Hey so, I actually don't know what to do lol currently I already have my cs degree, but with the current market I don't see how I will stand out any time soon. Thankfully, I have the opportunity to go back to school, I like this field but I don't know how worth my time is a MCS, I would like to hear out your opinions in regards to that, is masters worth it? or should I study something else like mechanical or electrical engineering. There's also a Masters in Energy program but I don't know how well it complements with a CS degree. I would deft have to get a BS when it comes to mech or electrical, I don't think I have enough background to pursue a masters in those areas

Difference between CS 435 and CS 438

Pretty much what the title says I'm planning on doing CS 538 Advanced Computer Networks and CS 498 Cloud Computing Applications but with the dumb breadth requirement I can't really take either (technically I can by I don't want to give up CS 425). Anyways my question is how different are they they seem to be based a lot on computer networking a top approach which I think I can definitely read and understand by spring 27' but I don't know if CS 438 would be very different.

And I guess while I have y'all here, what do you think of my possible options? Also if you guys have any idea how hard any of the classes are I would appreciate your input

Option 1 : I Study 438/435 on my own if equal or possible

Path:
Networking + Software
Area:
Systems and Networking + Parallel computing + AI + Software Engineering

CS 441 Applied Machine Learning 💯 AI Path
CS 425 Distributed Systems 💯 Networking + Software

CS 498 Cloud Computing Applications 💯 Networking Path
CS 484 Parallel Programming 💯 Software Path
CS 427 Software Engineering I 💯 Software Path

CS 538 Advanced Computer Networks 💯Networking Path
CS 521 Topics in Programming Systems 💯 Software Path
CS 537 Advanced Topics in Internet of Things 🧠 Security

esp-32-s3 w TFT-SPI-ST7789

I NEED HELP!

I'm trying to display ANYTHING on my screen but it keeps on failing. I am using <TFT_eSPI.h> library this is the github: https://github.com/Bodmer/TFT_eSPI
The reason that I'm using this library is because it has a sprite function and since I want to make a lil game I feels like it might be convenient, but if you guys have a better library I'm all ears.

This library uses a User_Setup.h to set pins etc, these are my selection

#define SPI_FREQUENCY 10000000
// Optional reduced SPI frequency for reading TFT
#define SPI_READ_FREQUENCY 20000000
#define USER_SETUP_INFO "User_Setup"
#define ST7789_DRIVER // Full configuration option, define additional parameters below for this display
// #define ST7789_2_DRIVER // Minimal configuration option, define additional parameters below for this display
#define TFT_WIDTH 240 // ST7789 240 x 240 and 240 x 320
#define TFT_HEIGHT 240 // ST7789 240 x 240
#define TFT_INVERSION_OFF
#define TFT_BL 8 // LED back-light control pin
#define TFT_BACKLIGHT_ON HIGH // Level to turn ON back-light (HIGH or LOW)
#define TFT_MOSI 11
#define TFT_SCLK 12
#define TFT_CS 10 // Chip select control pin
#define TFT_DC 4 // Data Command control pin
#define TFT_RST 5

When doing simple

#include <TFT_eSPI.h>
TFT_eSPI tft = TFT_eSPI();

It doesn't fail but when I introduce tft.init()

I get the following error

entry 0x403c88b8

Help with project!

Hi, so I have an idea for a project and I think, well Ik, I'm probably going to have to fine-tune a LLM, I've seen couple videos on youtube but I feel like most are simply telling you a specific step-by-step help by I do not feel like I'm learning anything and I do not want to just copy-paste nor well use AI to do my project lol anyways, to be honest I'm not familiar with LLM work, the closest to it has been in my intro to data science class where we discussed some tokenization and regression and whatnot but I don't see how that relates to my project, maybe the part of cleaning data? but I can't seem to connect the dots to my project idea. I don't want to say what it is because well Idk I think it might be sort of a nice idea and I'll probably wont do anything but who knows! Let's say I want the llm to be good at responding similar to a chatbot, I need memory, and I'll have to figure out how I'm going to need it to express itself. Anyways, my question is what sources should I look for? book? is fine-tuning the correct strategy? what other strategies are there around ?? Am I doing something to beyond me ?
