Today was extremely hot (~103F in NYC), but managed to get myself to the hub before the afternoon hit. Continuing on the mission to be more social in my last week.
- Paired with a fellow recurser on a leetcode problem, where we talked about the iterative process of brute force → optimal, time/space complexities, and how to figure out optimizations based on the options we have
- Led a discussion about the sieve algorithm’s time complexity for counting primes. We got pretty deep into it, and I think I was pretty satisfied about where we left off. If you’re interested, the runtime is
O(n * log(log(n))), which I think is pretty neat because it’s not really explainable! - Went to the escape room that the hardware hackers put together and it was really fun and well made. Makes me want to tinker with more hardware.
- Paired on some RISC-V assembly which I haven’t touched since college, but I still kinda had the knowledge which was cool
- Attended demo-palooza, where a bunch of people were showing off their projects. Some cool ones included a tool for managing scripts, a site that only plays audio when your eyes are closed, and a facial tracking story generator!
