Today was impossible stuff day! A day dedicated to trying to do the impossible. I decided to make a Zulip bot that would be able to do many things, but the primary goal was to be able to generate random problems from CSES, Leetcode, or Advent of Code.
- Started the day with the karpathy zero to hero lecture 1 discussion group. I don’t think I have the greatest understanding of the neural net stuff, but that’s okay. It’ll be my focus next week onwards, I think
- Algo bot was pretty cool to work on
- Leetcode has a “hidden” graphql api that I can use to generate questions
- CSES has to be scraped
- Advent of Code can be generated, provided you know the first year that advent of code started in
- Deployed algo bot to the raspberry pi sitting in the hub. I actually really like disco and I might use it for my own raspberry pi / home server.
- Attended localhost, where I heard a talk about hardware hacking a kitchen scale. Really cool stuff, motivates me to think about where I can try to venture into hardware in my life.
