Been busy with the unrelated courses I need to take. I have to give a speech on thursday. I got a 90 on my CS test, pretty happy with that. After thursday i should have a lot more time available to study. Ive been doing some research on brain tech and VR. I want to get a quest just to see what the hype is all about (and for porn obviously lmao). Im also curious how doing VR while on psychedelics would be like. Much risk to get sucked into enddless fantasy though. From what I can tell, the VR landscape is still underdeveloped. The quest 3 also doubles as a dev kit so that could also be ripe for projects

Good all in one course for blockchain dev https://roadmap.sh/blockchain

Macroeconomics test was retarded easy. I just got 2 of these for $100. One of these projects could be doable over the weekend

Just stick to stuff that actually works first like direct response marketing and facebook or other social media ads. A billboard is probably the worst form of marketing in the modern age. The homeless people will probably end up backfiring since it is not cost effective and you risk them ruining brand image by them doing something stupid or illegal. Stick to basics and dont get too cute. When you start making over $200k+ per year, then maybe you have some leeway for more creative marketing

Had lab today so total about 3 hrs of CS work Were working on implementing data structures into a text editor. Had to study for BS macroeconomics test tomorrow. Professor can barely fuckinng speak english and has the most brutally boring lectures ive ever been to and he has to make attendence mandatory or else nobody would show up. Dont care about grade, just need to pass. Its an easy class so I should be fine.

Im pretty sure he was gunned down in a parking lot by colombian gang members as a punishment. I remember watching a documentary about it thats crazy that u were at that game tho

Yesterday I studied for about 4 hrs on Linked list, arraylist, abstraction, interfaces, exception handling, and time complexity. Took test today and was happy to see that I overprepared. Im pretty sure i got a 90%+. Will find out grade in a few days. I have to meet with advisor either tomorrow or friday to set up schedule for next semester. I have some ideas for computer vision projects that this vid should be a good guide for. 1. Poker engine that analyzes your hand + draw and gives you mathematical odds for your chance at winning and gives optimal strategy 2. Basketball jumpshot analyzer that watches you shoot and gives feedback for perfect jumpshot 3. Chess engine that you could wear on glasses and it would give best move. also saw this kid build a cheap $200 version of a normally $5000+ shooting machine. This would also be a cool project that could integrate with cv

I just voted a couple hours ago prop 50 is only a california thing. If ur outside that state, you cant vote on it. But if I were there, I would vote yes

^^^ Made this today. Basic but still good practice. Did about 20 pages of "The Algorithmic Design Manual" and holy fuck was that hard. Textbook learning is way fucking harder than lectures or tutorials lol. Even the example exercises have me racking my brain for like 20 minutes. Was watching a video of some coding grandmaster solve an expert level leetcode question in 15 minutes and was shocked at the skill gap between me and him. but what else is there to do. If i want to master this shit, I need to push through the mundane and boring stuff before we get to the cool shit like robotics and computer vision and all the fun stuff. The hardest part is that theres so much shit to learn. I need to focus and make a real curriculum for what specifically I want to pursue. Currently this is a decent resource for the basics https://teachyourselfcs.com/ Tomorrow I will probably dedicate most of my time to studying for test on tuesday.

5/150 Problems done ^^ Made this today. Total about 4hrs working on CS stuff. Test on tuesday. Was looking at rankings by country and I would only need like a 2100 to get into top 100 in the USA. Honestly is doable within a year and would be good for resume ^^^ Crazy good video. Will come back to this many times. Shocking to realize that 98% of your actions is just do to conformity, possibly even this choice of life purpose. Constantly ask "Why are you doing this." True original thinking is the rarest thing in the world.

Didnt do any Neetcode problems today. Have test in a few days so I studied some of the previous material Taking a computer vision course next semester. This looks like a cool project I could try in meantime. Seems like that robot I posted yesterday is a semi scam. It was completely teleoperated by a human that would be able to see inside your house and collect every piece of info on how u live. Cant even close a dishwasher without remote assistance. Seems like tech is a long way off from being usable daily and even then, would people want it knowing it could see everything u do?

Done 3/150 problems. I would like to finish all of these by the end of the year. I should be able to consistently do 2-3 per day in about 2 hrs. ^^ I just got this book. Would also like to finish this in 3ish months. This combined with DSA will give good foundation. The thing that sucks rn is having to do work for the misc required courses. Next semester ill be able to put in 8+ hrs a day since all my courses will be CS related This new actual human assisting robot came out and you can get it for $20k. Seems like it has potential, but cant cook your food or do any errands outside your house

I would still recommend giving it a serious attempt before rejecting it completely. From my experience kechari + ocean breathing is extremely effective. I do it multiple times a day even for just a few minutes to feel more alert or to clear out mucus.
