Mostly oxygen, carbon and an urge to build things

I'm Adarsh Singh.

I’m into Computer Science and Astronomy.

I write articles and share my thoughts on both and ofc, I love writing code.

Sum of first n odd numbers = n²

Sum of first n even numbers = n(n+1)

Their GCD is n x gcd(n, n+1).

Since consecutive numbers share no factors, gcd = 1.

So the answer is simply: return n

You realize...

if your parents had you 6 years earlier,

you'd have graduated into the 2020 job market.

Microsoft would've probably interviewed you for a to-do app built with HTML & CSS

Interviewer: 100M photos go up on IG daily

Avg size 3 MB per pic. IG also stores thumbnails + 3 replicas for redundancy

Total comes to 2.7 PB a day

Q: How is IG storing 2.7 PB/day without going broke?

Me: No idea bro, I'm struggling with my 15 GB Google Drive that's 98% full

[Adarsh Singh @0xadarshsingh]

You can never compete with a person who has

- no backup plan
- 2.86 lacs of debt
- 1.45 lacs of pending college fees
- a will to work 16*7
- receeding hairline
- zero friends
- empty stomach

advice to young ones:

" you are not in love, you are just high on emotion. Let this emotion pass and get to work champs"

i'd love to see interesting things people have built with 5.6 sol.

i will send the person who made the coolest thing a special gift from the openai archives.

In college, I watched people cheat their way through placement interviews. And they still got the job

Today they’re switching, getting promoted, doing great

IT isn’t that deep. You learn after you join

Hardest part? Getting the interview + clearing it

After that? Cakewalk

Can't afford therapy?

Just talk to your dad.

If he says "when I was your age": anxiety.

If he says "beta job kar lo": more depression.

If he says "Gaon ki zameen haina chinta mat kar": cured.

Soumith Chintala. From Hyderabad.

He built PyTorch.

Fast forward to today: it's the engine behind modern AI research.

Powers Meta, OpenAI, Tesla, and basically all of ML.

Hyderabad just casually shipped the backbone of AI.

A Cab driver today told me his son scored 92% in 12th and doing BTech CSE
