I don't remember the first time I read a blog.

And unlike Dhaval, I never really enjoyed writing. From the age of five years old until eighth grade, my father encouraged me to write a journal entry every Sunday, one paragraph in Mandarin, then translated into English - by far my least favorite "homework" I've ever had to do.

So what am I doing creating a blog? It will serve as a breeding ground for thoughts I've never spoken aloud, ideas that usually quickly fade from recollection, as well as memories to be re-traced in the future. It will also force me to write more and communicate more eloquently, while hopefully still coming off as casual conversation. (I am quite embarrassed to say this is the most words I've written on anything in 2019).

I have no particular topics in mind, but expect content to range anywhere from NBA basketball to Scandinavian history to building computer programs, some of which going in great detail while others being short speculations.

See you around.

    Love the parallelism with Dhaval's post! I love Morrill Hall as well! Although, I do think that VLSB has better dinos.

Jack of All Trades or Master of One?

By
What does it mean to be the best at something? Einstein. Mozart. Jordan. Aristotle. These are often the most recognized names in their respective field of work, looked up to by millions every day.  But out of the billions of people who have ever lived in this world, how many of us can reasonably expect to live up to their status and ability? Short answer: the vast majority can't, and won't ever. But that doesn't stop us from aspiring to be the best at whatever we pursue, including me. Why do some people appear more successful than others? A short formula for our ability to do something is as follows (note that this may not be comprehensive, or entirely accurate, but is meant for simplicity's sake): Ability = Talent x Efficient Work where "Efficient Work" can be further broken down into time spent x quality of work . Making lots of different mistakes and reflecting on them counts as quality work. Gazing at your phone every 5 minutes while practicin...

The Monty Hall Problem Solved, Once and For All

By
The first time I ever encountered the infamous Monty Hall Problem was 5 years ago on a video from one of my favorite YouTubers, Numberphile . The problem states: Source: Wikipedia "Suppose you're on a game show, and you're given the choice of three doors: Behind one door is a car; behind the others, goats. You pick a door, say No. 1, and the host, who knows what's behind the doors, opens another door, say No. 3, which has a goat. He then says to you, 'Do you want to pick door No. 2?' Is it to your advantage to switch your choice?" The answer is a resounding yes, you are twice as likely to win by switching. However, the problem is seemingly paradoxical and to this day baffles many people - why does switching doors matter in the grand scheme? Through hundreds of YouTube comments on the original videos, I see 2 major misconceptions that I will layout and explain the best that I can.  Misconception 1: The event of the door not opened/picked is inde...

Class Review: Discrete Math and Probability Theory (CS70)

By
CS70 at UC Berkeley during Summer 2019 was the hardest class I've ever taken. It takes centuries of development in Discrete Mathematics and Probability Theory (some theories took decades to prove or refine) and shoves abstract concepts down your throat in a span of 8 weeks. French is beautiful I believe that there is no other class at Berkeley in which the disparity between the ability of the students in the course is so stark - students range from International Math Olympiad medalists who have years of rigorous contest math experience to beginning computer science students who hate math and just want to declare the major (a pity that this course is required for that purpose). I fall somewhere in the middle, a math-loving CS student with a bit of contest math background, but little experience in formal proof writing or anything beyond basic probability. The course is divided into two parts: Discrete Mathematics and Probability Theory (as can probably be inferred by my prev...
