Advice from fellow mates

Yo guys, I need your advice on this one. There’s this girl whom I like at uni, and we went to a date. The date was quite long than my expectations around 1.5 hours and together had dinner. She was interested I believe, but then the next day she called me ‘bro’ 🥀.
Does it mean she sees me as her brother?

Feeling Dumb

Yo guys, I’ve been using AI a lot now especially in my writing assessments, typing mails even programming a lot. I realised today while thinking on my own, that I’m not able to think critically and analyse at all, something I was so good at high school.

I can’t write a sentence clearly, and when I write the writing what I do feels nowhere closer to AI writing.
I literally feel I have lost my ability to think critically.

I can’t even properly code since I used AI a lot, and out of touch.

I’m 21, an undergrad engineering student in my final year. I’ve started doing my undergrad thesis and I literally can’t read clearly the IEEE papers and analyse, do literature review and find gaps, I’m constantly seeking help from AI to do these. Feeling I lost my ability to think 🥀

Any help or suggestion will be greatly appreciated.
PS - Sorry for my writing, I didn’t use AI this time just wrote what came to my mind. 🙃

Feeling dumb

Yo guys, I’ve using AI now for a long time especially with writing emails, proofreading my reports and even a lot of programming. I’ve came to a point where I’m not able to write things clearly on my own without assistance my writing clarity, thinking ability, and critical thinking has been shrinking a lot. Any suggestions or feedback will be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Is AI making me dumb?

Yo guys, I have been using AI now for a long time now, for typing my emails and proofreading my writings and cleaning out stuff, also a lot of programming now to a point where I’m actually having trouble writing emails or do ang basic stuff what I used to do back even in my high school before uni. Any feedback or suggestion will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Quantum Computing PhD?

Hi everyone,

I’m doing an Electrical Engineering honours degree at a university in NSW and I’m about to start my honours thesis. Over the past few months I’ve become really interested in quantum hardware, especially silicon spin qubits, device physics and cryogenic electronics, and I’m considering applying for a PhD at UNSW.

I’d love to hear from anyone who’s studied or worked in this area. What’s the research culture, supervision, facilities and industry collaboration like?
Also, if anyone has transitioned from a traditional electrical engineering background into quantum hardware, how did you make that shift? What should I focus on during my honours year, and what’s the typical pathway into a PhD?

Thank you

Semiconductors vs Quantum Computing

I'm an Electrical Engineering student currently trying to decide which direction to take for my honours thesis and hopefully a PhD afterwards.

Lately I've found myself torn between semiconductor engineering (device physics, fabrication, CMOS, VLSI, etc.) and quantum computing hardware (silicon spin qubits, cryogenic electronics and control hardware).

For those working in either field:

  1. What does your day-to-day work actually look like?
  2. Which field do you think has stronger long-term opportunities in industry and R&D?
  3. Is quantum hardware mostly an extension of semiconductor engineering, or are they very different career paths?
  4. If you were starting again today, which would you choose and why?

I'd really appreciate hearing from people with industry or research experience. Thanks

Semiconductor Landscape

Hey everyone, I'm currently finishing up my EE undergrad in Australia and looking into KU Leuven for a Master’s focused on semiconductors and microelectronics. I’ve heard a lot about their setup with imec, but I’d love to get a realistic perspective from current students or alumni on what it’s actually like. Specifically, how easy is it for Master's students to get involved in imec thesis projects, what are the scholarship options like for non-EU students, and how friendly is the local job market/visa process after graduating? Any honest thoughts on the workload and transition would be super helpful
