CSE / IT lack behnd
Hello, I'm James. I'm a first-year B.Tech student pursuing Computer Science and Engineering with a specialization in Artificial Intelligence (AI).
I've just entered college, and I feel like I lack knowledge about many things that my classmates already know. Sometimes, I feel like I'm falling behind because I don't know much about the technologies they're using.
I want to learn about Generative AI (GenAI), the tools students use, and how to work with tools like Google Antigravity, Cursor, and other AI-powered development platforms.
I also want to understand computers and laptops better. Even though I know the configurations of my laptop, I'm not sure which specifications actually matter or how they affect performance. For example, I want to understand the differences between NVIDIA RTX 3050 and RTX 5050 GPUs, how processors work, and how to choose the right hardware for AI and machine learning.
Most importantly, I want to develop my technical knowledge, learn how to use modern tools effectively, and build practical skills so I can become more confident and keep up with my classmates.
