Week 23, 2025 (Jun 2 - Jun 8)

Well, my activity on this site has been a rotter for the past few months. It's not that I haven't been doing anything, but I just haven't been documenting it on this site. A lot of things have been happening, but more on them maybe sometime later. For now, let me share what I did this week!

1. Solved 5 Deep-ML problems. These have been pretty fun and also good exercises for my brain. I'm planning to do 1 problem each day from here.

2. Made my first open-source contribution :) well, although it wasn't much, it was a nice feeling. I basically submitted a solution to the Deep-ML repository. Hasn't been accepted yet, but I did what I could, so it's all good.

3. Gotten quite faimilar with RNNs and ConvNets. These were my main focus over the past week or so. I've written some (crude) code snippets on this GitHub repo.

4. Also learned some C++! I've really wanted to start learning this language for quite a while, and over the last week, I finally made some fundamental strides. I've done a bit of the usual stuff (like cin, cout, vector, how compiling works, separating modules and headers, and so on). I plan to do a little bit of this every week as well. Maybe I should also try solving the Deep-ML problems in C++ once I do that in Python (maybe). Should be fun!

5. Also, my 2nd week in a row of using solely neovim for everything! Even now, this is currently being written on my mac mini's website directory through a ssh connection from my other macbook :) so much fun to be able to control my mac mini remotely haha (I learned how to do this this week as well!)

I think this is the gist of it for this week. Will be documenting my learning on this site regularly from here onwards :) will also start writing a lot more blogs; can't be slacking off too much!!!

See you soon!
