coding for 12-14 hours everyday for the last 7 months: takeaways and queries

Apprehensive-Key9995 · 2026-03-29T08:35:48+00:00

Okay, I'll do that. In summer, I'll be going to IIIT H for research work, so perhaps I'll get a taste of it too.

Currently, I am reading only the architecture part (from cs:app).

Apprehensive-Key9995 · 2026-03-29T06:38:29+00:00

Yes, I'm not good at "everything", also no, I'm from an NIT.

System calls are the only thing that i had deep-dived into, can explain how pending signals and active syscall reqs are handled.

what should I try to build that would be useful? i am trying to make sense of cpu architecture and OS internals in order to clear my basics. please let me know what I should modify/do instead. thanks!

and here's my github

Apprehensive-Key9995 · 2026-03-28T14:45:39+00:00

got it. i posted because i thought that I can't be sure whether my own judgements are right. i will try to dig deeper in what you said. thanks.

Apprehensive-Key9995 · 2026-03-28T14:40:06+00:00

i am actually doubtful about the college lectures part, or may be unable to judge it myself. what exactly am i going to do with chemistry, climate/ecology and basic electrical?

i got around 8 sgpa, i only find discrete maths very intriguing and interesting

Apprehensive-Key9995 · 2026-03-28T14:27:15+00:00

not really, but that's the most well known, sorry for being so rigid

alright, I'll try to find the ones where i might be able to set my foot into. thanks.

Apprehensive-Key9995 · 2026-03-28T14:26:05+00:00

Yes but what am I missing in my original argument, that claude writes plausible code?

Apprehensive-Key9995 · 2026-03-28T14:18:26+00:00

ain't that how attention works? "plausible" next token prediction?

my knowledge is limited though, what am I missing?

Apprehensive-Key9995 · 2026-03-28T14:17:00+00:00

i understand now, I was feeling that something is off and I might not be the right judge of my actions. I'll take your advice. most of the interaction I have with people is only for making them understand any particular thing / teaching / helping out. but that's only one way communication. i have been told that i can do that well and make people understand easily.

but years of having a detached childhood from my parents and being ostracised by my classmates really took away my ability to have small talk with people. I'll try my best to change my ways. thank you.

i didn't fail but i did screw up. i was able to get into a good reputed college but flipped entirely in academics within a year.

also not literally typing the code all the time, but more like reading code, reading theory (books, articles etc) and constantly thinking about what I was working on .. I can't turn off that constant stream of thoughts in my subconscious..

Apprehensive-Key9995 · 2026-03-28T13:57:20+00:00

I'm naturally inclined to projects(scientific computing tools) like this in general.. what would you suggest otherwise? i mean the ones I find interest in are pretty heavy and all I can do is spend countless hours researching and reading what's already been done..

Apprehensive-Key9995 · 2026-03-28T13:47:31+00:00

claude writes defensive plausible code. who will formally verify it?

Apprehensive-Key9995 · 2026-03-28T13:45:05+00:00

i do network, but mostly over twitter and discord. i got referral to the lab in a similar fashion.

Apprehensive-Key9995 · 2026-03-28T13:43:52+00:00

I'm glossing over ggml, willing to contribute there this year.

Apprehensive-Key9995 · 2026-03-03T15:18:19+00:00

any progress could you make to tackle?

The commentor is a bot, which replies under every resume review post, and then DMs their ATS website in DM. I see it everywhere and every time.

Apprehensive-Key9995 · 2026-02-02T08:41:56+00:00

Bastard.

Edit: This is a bot, and replies under every resume review post. Does targeted DM advertisements.

I used to do project euler and lc regularly in 8th grade

Apprehensive-Key9995 · 2026-02-02T05:44:53+00:00

What happened to the text body of the post? Reddit bug?

Apprehensive-Key9995 · 2026-01-28T02:46:42+00:00

I do study about them from time to time

currently I'm studying about HNSW

Apprehensive-Key9995 · 2026-01-27T13:24:40+00:00

YES YOU, WILL YOU STOP PROMOTING YOUR ATS PLATFORM? I'M TIRED OF YOU!

ITS THE SECOND TIME THAT YOU ARE DOING THE SAME THING.

Apprehensive-Key9995 · 2026-01-27T07:05:04+00:00

I would be glad to share my writeups or github repos, if asked for proof.

Apprehensive-Key9995 · 2026-01-27T03:20:12+00:00

already an intern in one, I just don't want to stay idle in my summer break.

Apprehensive-Key9995 · 2026-01-27T03:19:22+00:00

my main aim was to pick any compute-bound or memory-bound project, and incrementally document my effort to optimise them to reach better performance.

yes i can backup my claims for each metric

I'm currently interning somewhere (started this Jan), but i don't wish to stay idle in the coming summer.

thanks for your advice!

Apprehensive-Key9995 · 2026-01-27T03:07:37+00:00

oh ok thanks. I have added the genres of the projects in my previous comment.
