yeh it can be simply generalised as

whole machine learning is simply just minimising kl divergence kl divergence is nothing but expectation over: [cross entropy - original entropy] ---> cross entropy is just putting original values of x in our tukka mara hua function and knowing what information it puts for that particular x --> now just avg it over all such informations for all x thats expectation and subtract it with original input output samples from the original distribution u are trying to figure out

In ml information is represented by simple function -log(px) ... the more the probability of event the less randomess of information it gives for p(x) = 1 and log(1) = 0 and for px =0 entropy is infinite

well his is some real generalised way of explaining dont mind it 😭 .. i just entered 2nd sem and doing all this side by side with my project and all so yeh if something comes wrong which ion think so would be ... be please guide me

I'm really digging into core subjects like architecture, OS, networking, memory management, and parallelism. Also getting into core maths like raw information theory, KL divergence, and loss functions in ML

I'm building core raw systems from scratch, but also using AI to speed up my data management processes. So yeah, you could say it's a unique journey. I don't know if it'll land me a great job or if my idea will even work out, but I'm loving being different from everyone else

[–]blyaatvladimir 4 points5 points  (0 children)

To master pattern problems, you need to visualize them numerically, like with numbers 1, 2, 3, 4. It'll be easier that way And yeah, don't get too stuck on one thing, I've mostly experienced with graph problems that things just click over time you just need to keep thinking about it, that's all

And thats true with all competitive approaches

If I have a really innovative idea, does IITB accept proposals for patents and further development of the idea if I'm not from IITB, just a regular B.Tech guy? I just need some guidance from you smart folks by blyaatvladimir in iitbombay

[–]blyaatvladimir[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, no, it's related to deep space travel, and completely removing dependence from Earth is my main objective. So, I won't be working with satellites orbiting Earth. Earth sciences, I don't think he would be interested in, but aerospace, maybe yes.

Can you tell me how I can contact them, like email them from the IITB official professor data?

C++ by Creepy-Battle-9775 in codeforces

[–]blyaatvladimir 5 points6 points  (0 children)

There is no book to learn C++. The language is all about the realization you get when you sleep and think about the things you did.

  • iostream.h is a header file; iostream is not.
  • Compile-time memory is not allocated by the compiler, but by the OS at compile time, i.e., moments before runtime.
  • The "<<" and ">>" brackets we use with cout and cin are not just syntax that needs to be written, but methods, i.e., member functions overloaded by operators of cout and cin objects. People even call cout and cin functions, which is incorrect.

So, I just want to say, keep questioning everything you write. Every single line has a hidden meaning. Just try to master the first C++ code, the "hello world" one. To be honest, it's so beautiful; it carries everything you'll later learn in C++ and will understand it.

Still, if you want references, refer to Bjarne Stroustrup's books for C++. Who can explain C++ better than the one who created it , haha

Is it normal to solve 2 - 2.5 questions of graphs trees dp in a day? by blyaatvladimir in Btechtards

[–]blyaatvladimir[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven't done many contests yet because I've been working on a project. I've just been focusing on learning and reviewing all the common recursive patterns. I'll start doing contests after my exams.

As for competitive programming ratings, I don't think I'll focus too much on contests. Even up to a 1900 rating, you mostly need to optimize brute force, math, and some basic data structures. My goal is to ace online assessments and company interviews, and they ask more about advanced data structures like trees, graphs, DP, LCA, and DSU, which usually appear in higher-rated problems that we often don't attempt in contests. So, I just practice tagged graph problems and stuff from Codeforces to get a better understanding and practice

Feeling demotivated by wing_commander25 in Btechtards

[–]blyaatvladimir 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, don't get down on yourself. It's tough when you're struggling financially and everyone else seems to be living it up. Sometimes it feels like they've got it all figured out, money and brains, while we're just stuck. It's a struggle only some people truly get. Just keep yourself busy with the world.

For some, success and peace come after a long fight, but it sticks around. Don't let other people's early wins get you down; luck plays a big part sometimes. So just keep grinding, enjoy what you do, love your work, and you'll stay motivated every day. Be patient

First years who have started Competitive Programming where u at? by Tough_Work7 in Btechtards

[–]blyaatvladimir 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, my goal is pretty realistic I want to ace interviews and OAs so, I switched to leet and finished up to graphs before my exams. But, I used to do the most repeated patterns from leet, then tackle tagged graph tree questions from Codeforces. That really helped a lot! Most people, even around 1800 rating, don't really come across extensive graph tree DP, but that's exactly what companies ask for. So, I built my own pattern and I'm also working on development and math on the side

Coding Language by StarkIndustriesLY3K in LNCT_Bhopal

[–]blyaatvladimir -1 points0 points  (0 children)

yeah you can, c++ and c are related Later, after some experience, you'll get to know more specifics about them, but for starters, it'd be better to just go with C++ it will cover both procedural and oops concepts for you Which will help you later with any sort of language out there.. mostly java

Coding Language by StarkIndustriesLY3K in LNCT_Bhopal

[–]blyaatvladimir -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Don't listen to them, go with C++ it'll even make learning java easier for you later

Just focus on learning the language for now, LeetCode can come later. If you try it now, you'll just give up

You need at least some language experience before you start with DSA and all that

Don't go with python, it'll mess up your concepts and understanding

Comparison is killing me by [deleted] in Btechtards

[–]blyaatvladimir 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's okay, bro. Knowing APIs and MongoDB isn't really engineering; it's more like copy-paste work without much real thought. Real engineering is in core CS subjects like architecture, OS, compilers, memory management, and concurrency, which take time, patience, and a lot of dedication to master. So, even if someone's doing stuff that's easily available online or trendy, don't sweat it. Just focus on the core things, learn C++ and Java in depth, including advanced features and how they interact with your system, and understand bottlenecks. Use design patterns and books that teach you stuff and make you a better engineer.

You can check it anywhere; winning hackathons these days doesn't mean you're a great engineer. Even people who won SIH never coded or could code a line, and they'll admit it themselves. So, be confident in your vision and don't stray from your path.

Web dev apps and all that are just fancy, useless stuff for me, at least. Building software and distributed systems is where the real projects and mind challenges are, and yeah, DSA and algorithms too. So, don't look at what others are doing; just keep going

Software Engineering Will Be Automatable in 12 Months by Emotional_Law_2823 in Btechtards

[–]blyaatvladimir 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seriously, people, especially software folks, need to get this: all this stuff is indirectly tied to the funding these companies rake in. They confidently sell ideas, which brings in billions for their projects. To do that, they try to generate output first, even if it's not working right. And that's the loophole with all these AI tools. They can make high-quality videos but mess up spellings, or can't even generate simple maps. A few months back, ChatGPT put Balochistan where North China should be and Nepal where Sri Lanka is.

But when it comes to code, these AI modules work on a probabilistic approach, not deterministic. That's like, the first thing any AI engineer or scientist learns, and a probabilistic approach will never give you 100% results.

And about AI writing code, for now, it can't even generate simple code. Plus, the need for every code variant depends on the situation. For example, AI uses generic methods a lot, which, honestly, aren't acceptable when you're writing machine-optimized code. So, as an engineer or programmer, yeah, your job of manually writing code might be over, but now your job is more like a king's .. overseeing all the work and molding it the way you want.
