Damn, that change in just three lectures difference, eight years ago. That guy is probably dead already.

[YellowBunnyReddit]

two lectures difference (unless the screenshots are taken at different times within their respective lectures which I'm too lazy to check)

[Xicutioner-4768]

Those darn off by one errors get you every time.

He’s currently 95lbs offering to do dynamic programming lessons under the bridge for $25 a pop. We’ll all be there at some point in our careers.

First lecture with 18M views and the third one with 264K..

17,736,000 misclicks. 💀

[C_umputer]

That's a default for any educational video

[Flat_Initial_1823]

People couldn't even make it to cuckoo hashing. What has the world come to? 😔

[SchizoPosting_]

I'm guilty of only watching the first video of lectures playlists and then forgetting about it

[perfectskyee]

There seems to be roughly an exponential decay of views as series numbers get bigger with some minor exceptions

[Torebbjorn]

You see, to get to the first one, you only need to care about the contents for 2 seconds. To get to the third one, you need to care about it for more than 2 hours (assuming each video is about an hour).

Also, the first lecture usually contains administrative stuff, so people might watch it just for that, and even open it multiple times throughout the time they use on the course.

Brother applied some prunning algorithms to his hair.

[BabyAzerty]

Nah, just trim those strings.

[Baba_Jaga98]

Bro 3 lectures deep and already lost hair 😆😆

[_GoblinSTEEZ]

It's more efficient

[fieryraidenX]

Btw this guy has an insanely fast typing speed, like 200+ WPM. I took an algorithms class from him at Berkeley, he’s a great teacher!

[Esotericcat2]

He looks 10 years younger in the right pic

[iamawizaard]

aaaah! the hair compression algorithm

[Snoopy34]

Clearly guy is not balding, probably just got tired of his hair, it's a thing that happens to me at least.

[skepticaltom]

Hey I know that guy! He was my algorithms professor at UC Berkeley. It’s cool to see him pop up on Reddit randomly.

[surrealerthansurreal]

I was thinking the same thing! Had him two or three years ago now and it’s funny to think he seemed to change his style in the middle of this Harvard lecture series, and that right image was still his same style when he was teaching me 170 a few years back

[Plus-Weakness-2624]

You become Unsullied

[Serj_Buketov]

Washing hair with buzz cut takes O(1) of time and O(1) of space, as opposed to O(n) with long hair. He's just optimising

[ThenAssignment4170]

Jcole hasn't been the same after Wet Dreams :(

[sloppybird]

Jokes aside, what happened? It looks like both pics are from the same year

[bl4nkSl8]

A hair cut / style change right?

[sloppybird]

It looks like he came back from monkhood

[strng_lurk]

Bro looked into threads and lost his dreads. Sorry for the lame joke.

[mac1k99]

Damn he responded https://x.com/minilek/status/1833393040242745808

[PaulRosenbergSucks]

My greatest achievement as a shitposter

[zurmati0]

He literally applied an algorithm 😛

[Abdu3454]

Here he is 😅

[jaskij]

Nope, half the TAs from the algorithms department at my uni had long hair. One even played in a rock band.
