  • I think cold emails are an incredibly powerful tool that must be used responsibly. Before this, I thought that I was the "king of cold emails", as it led to the Effective Altruism Data and LPP project. However, I got dethroned when someone cold emailed after seeing this EA Forum question that I wrote quite some time back.

    What was originally me being pessimistic about re-starting EA Dubai led to meetings with EA AUS, EA NYUAD and even an advisor from CEA! So far, we've gotten some EA AUS and EA NYUAD members to join us - and we're on the look out for someone else to help lead this project with us! I'm really excited to see where this project is after exactly half a year (July 14, 2023)!

  • Man, I was so close to having my solution accepted, but some long test case tripped me up. Anyways, finished Maximum Number of Words You Can Type but had to look at the solution:

        return res

class Solution:
    def arrangeWords(self, text: str) -> str:
        return ' '.join(sorted(text.split(), key=len)).capitalize()
  • Finished Add Digits, though I had to look at the solution (this problem should be medium anyways):
class Solution:
    def addDigits(self, num: int) -> int:
        res = 0

        while num > 0:
            res += num % 10

  • Finished my first medium problem, Pow(x, n):
class Solution:
    def myPow(self, x: float, n: int) -> float:

  • Finished Remove Element, though I had to look at the solution:
class Solution:
    def removeElement(self, nums: List[int], val: int) -> int:
        j = 0
        for i in range(len(nums)):
            if nums[i] != val:
                nums[j] = nums[i]
                j += 1
        return j

  • Started with Remove Element. I expect to make many more stupid mistakes in December when it comes to Python.

  • Completed Move Zeros, this took a lot longer than expected:

class Solution:
    def moveZeroes(self, nums: List[int]) -> None:
        """
        Do not return anything, modify nums in-place instead.
        """

        counter = 0

        for i in range(len(nums)):
            if nums[i] == 0:
                counter += 1

        while 0 in nums: nums.remove(0)

        for j in range(counter):

        for i in range(len(differences)):
            if differences[i] != 0:
                indices.append(i)

        return len(indices)
  • Completed Power of Three, thus ending the power saga (though I had to look at the solution as I didn't know I needed to use np.log10() instead of np.log()) I also got another response for my post.
class Solution:
    def isPowerOfThree(self, n: int) -> bool:
        import numpy as np

        if (np.log10(n) / np.log10(3)).is_integer():
            return True
        else:
            return False
  • Completed Power of Four with numpy. (I also got a response on my post from yesterday):
class Solution:
    def isPowerOfFour(self, n: int) -> bool:
        import numpy as np

        if (np.log(n) / np.log(4)).is_integer():
            return True
        else:
            return False
  • Completed Power of Two, though I had to use numpy so I don't think my solution really counts, but here's the solution anyways:
class Solution:
    def isPowerOfTwo(self, n: int) -> bool:
        import numpy as np

        if (np.log2(n)).is_integer():
            return True
        else:
            return False
  • Finished Concatenation of Array, my solution was literally just one line of code (excluding the boilerplate):
class Solution:
    def getConcatenation(self, nums: List[int]) -> List[int]:
        return nums + nums

      So, I opened up a discussion post about it.

AUS CSE Research Assistant

Jun 12, 2023-present
Currently a research assistant for the computer science and engineering department at the American University of Sharjah. Will continue after my examinations this last month of the year.

Log

  • Got the training results up on the AI lab machine!

  • Finally, some good progress.

  • Met my co-RA in-person!

  • Solid plan for the next four to five days, excited!

  • Back to normal training results.

  • Sent out the report.

  • Met my professor onsite! Really reassured now, going to continue on with a really sweet end-goal in mind!

AUS - Part Two

  • Spoke with my professor and co-RA.

  • Jeez, the results are quite poor. Going to need to get back to Paperspace soon.

  • Experimented with VAEs and GANs - going to move on now to expanding the dataset and re-training.

  • Some lukewarm results again, better than run-through at least!

  • Hm, running into a snafu with my code. Will check what's up tomorrow.

  • Heard back from my co-RA!

  • Man, my data processing work sort of meant nothing today. Oh well, we move.

  • You can only increase the batch size so much.

  • Some great results for the first day with the data!

  • Spoke with my co-RA!

  • Took a cursory look at the data.

  • The end of this month lined up perfectly with the end of the first part of this project, excited for the next step!

  • Going to move on to analysing why the model had performed poorly on FashionMNIST, but quite well on CIFAR-10.

  • In the meanwhile, tried my hand at FashionMNIST. Did not go so well.

  • CIFAR-10 training done, going to try out Tiny ImageNet next to end of training before the CameraTrap part of my research (hopefully!)

  • CIFAR-10 training should be done tomorrow morning!

  • Switched to Gradient.

  • CIFAR-10 is showing great results!

  • We back to training.

  • Why is Google so stingy?

  • Day 4b) happened! Got the 240 x 240 data set, and I think the model is better?

  • Pre-lude to Day 4b) tomorrow.

  • Day 4a) I guess.

  • Heard back from my professor.

  • Training, will see its results by tonight (hopefully, else it might time out)

  • Need to train it on the larger dataset tomorrow, had some troubles with it today.

  • I did it! Finally got some results on ImageNette (a smaller version of ImageNet) and while they're not very good, at least I'm somewhere tangible now!

  • So close.

  • Closer.

  • More time needed.

  • Finished my notes on the repository and, in my efforts of trying to get the results on CIFAR-10, ran into a bug that I could not squash in time. Will continue tomorrow.

  • Thoroughly went through a repository - really interesting stuff! Only one roadblock is the difference between two models, but I'm sure I'll figure that out tomorrow.

  • Read two academic papers.

  • Read three academic papers.

  • First day! Learnt a lot about transformers.

Guitar

Oct 29, 2021-present
Trying to learn acoustic guitar via justinguitar.com. Currently inactive/paused.

Guitar's start date is the date I started logging, not the date when the project started.

Log

  • Learnt some open 7th chords.

  • (Tried) to learn Hey You by Pink Floyd.

  • Freestyled to ease back in.

  • Continued with Module 4 practice.

  • "Learnt" the intro to Chop Suey! Drop C tuning is awesome.

  • Practiced a sliding power chord song that was recommended to us (why do almost all of them have iffy names?)

  • Got started with Module 4 practice.

  • Finished learning an easier version of Enter Sandman.

  • "Finished" with the Module 5 videos (sort of just skipped a few) and will get started with the practice tomorrow.

  • Played an electric guitar for the first time!

  • Finished a short video in the module. I guess I've been less motivated to continue with this module since it's so electric guitar focused (though maybe I'm wrong and my skill is to blame here, not the acoustic)

  • Sort of continued with the riff.

  • Learnt the first part of the first part of the Enter Sandman riff.

  • Finished with Palm Muting and Understanding Distortion. This module is irritating if you're using an acoustic. Why do you have to be so cool, electric?.

  • Finished with The Am Pentatonic Scale.

  • Finished with Power Chords (and sort of learnt Smells Like Teen Spirit?)

  • Got started with Power Chords.

  • Six days... Finished with the second iteration of Module 4 practice.

  • Continued with the second iteration of Module 4 practice. I finally understood why my guitar improv is so bad: I keep trying to play odd patterns.

  • Continued with the second iteration of Module 4 practice.

  • Got started with the second iteration of Module 4 practice.

  • Finished with the first iteration of Module 4 practice.

  • Continued with the first iteration of Module 4 practice.

  • Finished with the Module 4 videos and got started with the first iteration of Module 4 practice. I think I'm going to increase the number of iterations to three.

  • Finished dice songwriting. Really fun lesson! (even though I didn't do too much lol)

  • Finished learning about the songs for this module (excited for the fingerstyle songs for the first iteration).

  • Finished some ear training, felt pretty disheartened after getting the last exercise wrong.

  • Had fun with this lesson.

  • It took roughly a week but I can finally play Happy Birthday on my own!

  • Hopefully I should be able to play it tomorrow...

  • So close to playing Happy Birthday on my own!

  • Continued with learning Happy Birthday, about two-thirds of the way there.

  • Continued with learning Happy Birthday.

  • Got started with learning Happy Birthday and had some fun with learning All Falls Down (I guess I've learnt it? It sounds pretty bad though).

  • Learnt more about fingerstyle playing.

  • Had fun playing How Much A Dollar Cost with these chords (simplified) (only the F#, F and Dm sounded okay lol)

  • Finished with shifting the F chord. The way Justin played the F chord reminded me How Much a Dollar Cost by Kendrick Lamar. I'm going to try to play that tomorrow.

  • Got started with Module 11 with some sus chords, I really like the transition from A sus2 to A sus4.

  • Finished with the second iteration of Module 10 practice!

  • Continued with the second iteration of Module 10 practice. Nearly done!

  • Continued with the second iteration of Module 10 practice.

  • Continued with the second iteration of Module 10 practice, I thought I forgot the C Major scale but nope, my guitar was just slightly out of tune lol.

  • Got started with the second iteration of Module 10 practice.

  • Finished with the first iteration of Module 10 practice! Also, small correction: I don't use the songbook tab on JustinGuitar.com (since it forces the song into three categories, which I don't like) and instead I just like the play-through video (which acts as a songbook).

  • Continued with Module 10 practice and added two songs to my songbook!

  • Continued with Module 10 practice, F (with bar) chord is shaping up to be pretty decent now (similar sounding to a Fmaj7) but the change from F to C is slow for me lol.

  • Continued with Module 10 practice and did some really bad C Major improvisation (why did I choose the thinnest string?)

  • Continued (?) with Module 10 practice.

  • Finished with the Module 10 videos and got started with the first iteration of Module 10 practice (sort of, I need to start over with the C major scale alternate picking).

  • Learnt some common chord progressions.

  • Finished with La Bamba Riff (learnt the double note variation).

  • Finished with Beginner Hammer-ons which are super tricky and learnt the single note variation of the La Bamba riff, which is super awesome.

  • Finished with The Rhythm Push and also discovered that the 11th fret of the thinnest string sounds almost exactly like the "siren" sample in Use This Gospel.

  • Finished with Alternate Picking C Major and Major Scale Improvisation (really excited to start guitar improv in this module's practice!)

  • Finished with F chord changes and feeling the frets.

  • Learnt about the weak finger G (which I dislike, for now...) and the A mini barre (which I kinda dig)

  • Continued with the first iteration of Module 9 practice and played One by U2.

  • Continued with the first iteration of Module 9 practice. Something barely impressive: I can play the C-G-D-A-Em chord transition without looking at the guitar (kind of).

  • Continued with the first iteration of Module 9 practice, the guitar chords Notion page is extremely handy!

  • Revised the Em Pentatonic Scale.

  • Continued with the first iteration of Module 9 practice.

  • Got started with the first iteration of Module 9 practice.

  • Finished with the Module 9 lessons, will be on the practice for some time (due to the C Major scale lol)

  • Finished with the Red Hot Chili Peppers riff (minus the chords, might do that for fun).

  • Got my guitar strings replaced, I've never heard a guitar so out of tune before lol.

  • It wouldn't be a JustinGuitar module without an odd finger training exercise. I was planning on finishing up the Red Hot Chili Peppers riff today (since it's pretty easy) but my D string broke :(

  • Finished with more advanced 16th note strumming.

  • Got done with compiling all the chords in a Notion page.

  • Changed my mind, the C Major scale got to me lol. I'll start the chord book work tomorrow.

  • Finished with All Stop Mute and creating a chord book (which I will do from tomorrow instead of the videos.)

  • Finished with learning the F chord and its variations. It honestly isn't impossible but it certainly is tricky. Maybe I'm just lucky.

  • Finished with the second iteration of Module 8 practice! Will start Module 9 and the dreaded F chord soon.

  • Continued with the second iteration of Module 8 practice, nearly done.

  • Continued with the second iteration of Module 8 practice.

  • Started with the second iteration of Module 8 practice, why does my E min7 chord sound so bad?

  • Finished with the first iteration of Module 8 practice! I'll start it all over again tomorrow.

  • Continued with Module 8 practice.

  • I think I'm done learning the riff! I'll check back tomorrow to see if I still remember it.

  • Continued with the Wish You Were Here riff.

  • I've been listening to Wish You Were Here by Pink Floyd in preparation for finishing the riff. I guess it helped a bit? Anyways, almost finished learning the riff and just a few more items are left for the first iteration of Module 1 practice!

  • Continued with Module 8 practice.

  • Continued with Module 8 practice. I stink at Big G to D chord transitions.

  • Finished with the Wish You Were Here riff video, sort of got the introduction down. Will start the practice soon!

  • Finished with Notes in Open Position and got started with the Wish You Were Here riff, the riff is super hard!

SOLARIS (Second Edition)

Dec 24, 2022-Jul 01, 2023
Trying to co-run the second edition of a logic, rationality and Effective Altruism club that I co-founded. Currently inactive/paused.

Log

  • Did some organisational work.

  • Did some organisational work.

  • Sent out my three capstone project reviews.

  • Had the last meeting for a while, thus marking the end of this project (for now!)

  • Scheduled the last meeting for a while.

  • Finished reviewing two more capstone projects.

  • Reviewed the first capstone project.

  • Received capstone projects. Closing ceremony will be delayed but for now, will host an online meeting to discuss the projects.

  • Did some organisational work in the morning, but I couldn't teach today's class due to internet issues. We'll be combining this session and the last day (which I feel is something we should do regardless).

  • An okay third day, but this part of the syllabus really needs to be re-vamped.

  • Second day went better than the first: espicially since we had really good debate responses and rebuttals.

  • First day! Along with my co-facilitator, we gave a good overview about rationality.

GFSMUN 2023

Jun 23, 2023-Jun 25, 2023
Attended GFSMUN 2023 as part of my school team, and won best speaker!

Summary

From ditching a portion of the first day (and missing my chance for a GSL) for prom to the odd crisis where I became Mark Zuckerberg to me beefing with the delegate of Nigeria (who won best delegate, well deserved!), GFSMUN III and the United Nations Office for Outer Space Affairs was one heck of a MUN and committee respectively. Shout out to my incredible chairs (who nit-picked on the number of hours I stated on my first position paper lol)

GFSMUN III

Local Hackathon 2023

Jun 19, 2023-Jun 20, 2023
From participant to organiser this time around! The start date for this project represents when the auditions were conducted.

Summary

From the okay-ish auditions (which were mostly my doing) came a really fun hackathon: the teams were assigned to create an encryption/decryption app using Tkinter in Python. In the beginning, a fun plot line involving the FBI/CIA and spying emerged. Was quite fun!

Local Hackathon - 2023

YGSS 2023

May 12, 2023-May 14, 2023
I was a resource head for the Earth and Climate Change Council and a member of the IT team. Won best counci.l

Summary

This whole project should be prefaced by the sheer amount of work that had gone into it: from my main work as a resource head for the Earth and Climate Change council: working on the agenda document, the background guide and the video with my co-resource head and directors - as well as helping out with the website as part of the IT team.

With that being said, what an incredible event, so glad to have been (somewhat) randomly selected for ECC - I'd like to think I was a pretty darn good resource head, and won best council with my incredible directors, co-resource head, IT and press members.

  • AAAAAAAAAA This is a really complicated situation: I wrote all the functional tests and a) Replit keeps crashing after all the tests pass (unless I do a weird port trick) b) Even though the POST comment test case works without the tests, it refuses to pass after all the tests pass. This is probably the second or third most frustrating project I worked on (the most frustrating was probably the JavaScript calculator)

  • Sort of got multiple stocks to work (the query parameter if-else conditions aren't very good though), I think I can technically submit the project now, but it's obviously not complete (need to implement the like and rel_likes features)

  • Fixed an axios glitch where it would take two refreshes to get the stock price. Got started with two stocks and continued with beta Responsive Web Design.

  • Progress on Stock Price Checker has been slow, why is it so hard to make a GET request in node.js?

  • Continued with the Stock Price Checker and Responsive Web Design.

  • Got started with the Stock Price Checker project and finished a project within beta Responsive Web Design!

  • Finally finished with the Python section of Information Security. Definitely my least favourite part of freeCodeCamp so far. Anyways, continued with beta Responsive Web Design and the Information Security projects look fun.
