From Where I Stand

context If Anthony Joshua loses I'll shave my hair tomorrow Match just ended: he couldn't hide for more than 5 rounds, Knock out on 6th 🥊

I can't go the rest of my life asking if it's AI or not

I couldn't put this down honestly Won't say much about it, only that the author decided that he had free will and took us on a ride. 5* for me.

TLDR: here Just discovered that John Green wrote The Fault in Our Stars, which was later adapted into a movie. I’d already seen the movie, but after this episode, hearing him talk about it, it really made me want to watch it again. Also learned that the title is actually a Shakespeare reference from the line: “The fault, dear Brutus, is not in our stars, but in ourselves.” But he’s kind of reversing that and showing us the fault in our stars (fate/chance). ⚠️Spoiler Alert The movie is centered around cancer, and I wondered why cancer isn’t transmissible or even why some other diseases aren’t. Well, it turns out: In almost all cases, cells from another person can’t enter your body and survive long term. Cancer is a group of diseases characterized by the uncontrolled growth and division of abnormal cells. Our cells divide for different reasons, millions of times, and each time a cell divides, DNA can get damaged or copied incorrectly. Most mistakes are harmless or fixed by repair systems (which we have). And there are other things that affect mutations too, like your environment UV, chemicals, viruses. These cells are dangerous because they have certain characteristics like this, And your immune system can’t just attack your own cells with these characteristics (it does sometimes, but that’s another story). So mutations with errors: - because a lot of them occur (millions every day), - environmental factors like UV, chemicals, and viruses that affect DNA, and genetics can lead to cancer, which is why we tend to see it more in older people Why do kids have cancer then? Well… And chemo? How does that work? I also remember hearing Demis Hassabis [ who won Nobel Prize in Chemistry for his AI work on protein structure prediction] saying that his dream was a virtual cell maybe in the next 10 years. There’s obviously a lot more to this topic, and when you try to understand even our current knowledge, you can see how solving it is incredibly challenging. ☀️ We'll hopefully see how technology will help us correct the fault in our stars.

AoC Day 12 and managed to solve 18 out of 24 problems! Definitely planning to do it next year. some were doing it with 8 different programming languages was a lot of fun

LOL

AoC Day 10

AoC Day 9 1st part was easy, and the 2nd part was to find the biggest possible rectangle area from a given set of coordinates that act as the boundary. I'm sure there were better solutions, but I figured I could just draw the coordinates and even the bounds across all coordinates, and then manually look for the biggest square/rectangle I could draw. At first I thought that circle looking shape was a bug, but nope it actually was the shape with a centered square thing inside it. I think it would've been easier if it were a some kind of rectangle like this After that, I picked like 5–10 points that I thought were big enough, looped through those, checked the areas, found the biggest, and there it was. I honestly didn’t think this would work, but it was very satisfying that it actually did.

The DIY Piano Project: V2 IS HERE! After the frustration of the wooden prototype (V1), I have made some upgrades. While I still used wood for the main body structure, I completely changed the core components. I took two cheap kids' digital pianos and merged them, overhauling the electronics underneath the keys. The Key Upgrade: The heart of this V2 is a new mechanical keyboard matrix. This gives me a satisfying and flawless 26-key rollover—meaning no more missed notes, even when slamming complex chords! The result is a seamless, full-size 6-Octave piano controller! It's responsive, and it works perfectly. I've invested the time to build the perfect tool, and now I have absolutely no excuse left to learn how to play piano!😁

Before I show you the massive upgrade, let's look back at where this project started: my first attempt to build a custom piano controller! I wanted a functional, cheap MIDI controller, so I built the V1 out of wood, bolts, and the guts of an old external USB keyboard. It looked homemade, but it was a true proof-of-concept. The Problem: Despite the effort, it was an unsuccessful build for actual playing. I ran headfirst into the dreaded N-key rollover issue. If I tried to play more than three notes at once (i.e., any complex chord), the keys wouldn't register! The frustration was real, but it gave me the blueprint for what I needed to build next.

*context Day 5 of advent of code there's probably a very very very easy way of solving this problem using sets or some claver trick that is the right way of excluding duplicate ranges but very happy I manage to do it with my weird / unnecessarily complex if else a very very bad code I am sure bad source code

😭 finally

When goodness goes unrecognized, let virtue itself be the reward.
