The Oscillating Curriculum

Engineering professors have exactly two examples in their repertoire: the pendulum and the Tacoma Narrows Bridge collapse. You can set your watch by it. First day of class: "Let's discuss simple harmonic motion." Week 7: "Remember how the Tacoma Bridge oscillated itself into oblivion? No? Let me show you the footage for the 47th time." The cycle continues, semester after semester, like a perfectly damped oscillator.

Einstein Judges Your Hyperparameter Tuning

Machine learning engineers sweating nervously as they run the same training algorithm for the 47th time with slightly different parameters! Einstein's definition of insanity hits way too close to home when you're tweaking hyperparameters at 2AM hoping for magical results. The monkey's side-eye perfectly captures that moment when your neural network still has 98% error rate despite your "brilliant" adjustments. Gradient descent? More like gradient distress!
