is a blog by Brendan
I lived through my exams, and I did get an A in the other class, so BAM: school is done for Brendan. This is still weird! I don’t have classes for like a month!
In case you’re still in classes and are wondering if that was intended to make you hate me: yes. Also, “[redacted].” (Hey, [redacted]! Get a blog!)
(I almost forgot this, pokéblogged yesterday morning at 1106 hrs:)
We have a guest lecturer in AI today–one of the students in the class, who may be the most Mediterranean person I’ve ever met. His opening:
“Hello everybody. My name is Andreas. I am here today to talk about the topic of: rowboats.“
“Robots,” actually. Still the coolest lecture intro ever.
There’s these two people named Sara Baase and Allen Van Gelder, right? And they wrote an algorithms textbook, and basically, fuck them. It must be nice to live in a frilly, golden fantasy world, where everyone has a pony and arrays are indexed from one instead of zero. You know, just like no computer in the world has ever done.
Yeah, I’ve been up for a while. Stupid projects. Last day of classes before MY MOM GETS MARRIED.
COMPUTER SCIENCE IS HARD.
I’m trying to grasp the math involved in Fermat’s Little Theorem as an end to understanding the proof of PRIMES Is In P, so okay, more precisely math is hard. So this is really the same complaint I’ve been making since fourth grade. I’m doing it in the interest of my CS education, though, so that’s really that about which I feel the need to complain.
See, grammar is easy.*
Anyway, I wasted like half an hour looking up that thing in the popup text over “Fermat’s Little Theorem,” so I guess I should get back to work.
