I passed both my Foundations and my AI qual. I had to appeal for a rescore for my AI qual because the original grade showed that I failed. Thankfully the regrade was accepted and I passed with the new score. Now I passed all 4 of my exams: Foundations, AI, Compilers and Software Construction. I… Continue reading Quals

Codebox

It also has desktop apps so you can work outside your browser. The ide is customizable and you can make custom plugins etc. Sounds awesome… Continue reading Codebox
Cloud Storage
Well this is the end of 2014. I just found this amazing energy storage company LightSail Energy. They use compressed air to store energy. It sort of reminds you of how the water cycle or weather systems work. Cloud storage :). http://daniellefong.com/ — Founder’s website has some nice articles.

Revenue is defined by R(q) = P(q)*q the price at a particular quantity times the quantity sold. So, R'(q)… Continue reading Microeconomics

Proof that the counting subset sum is in #P (Sharp P)
Yesterday I gave a presentation proving that in theory group. Presenting a proof is a lot harder than it seems when proving it to yourself on paper. Suggestion for presentations in the future: say what I am going to do then write it up on the board. Then after writing point to the different equations… Continue reading Proof that the counting subset sum is in #P (Sharp P)
Github
I am going to be moving the projects that I had as zip files on google code to Github in order to centralize my source code. Hopefully it will be easier to use.
