The course EPFL mapping from FER (my uni) is a patchwork of shadowy information you get from older students and what they officially give you ONLY AFTER YOU ASK QUESTIONS. If I didn’t have my group, I would have missed out on the research project lab and extra subjects. Isntead of 22, I get all 32 ECTS recognised!
I’m actually most excited about Online decision making, as it concerns game theory, bandits, regret bounds, exploration-exploitation, and a bit of RL!
Real life relevant abstractions!!! (like the Gale-Shapley algorithm’s relevance to agency & dating)
The TODO list stack is the natural container for tasks, whether you keep track of it or no.
Imagined plan: sleep from 2 AM till 6 AM, then do my EPFL course matching and plan ASAP. Do independent assesment before Claude Code’s suggestion.
Actually: woke up early, felt great but didn’t check too much outside of Claude Code because it was top notch output. Watched Youtube/read, … Fragmented.
Because of the early waking, crashed out at around ~15:00, highly unproductive, fragmented, just went to sleep early cause I wasn’t effective.
EPFL lacks video vloggers talking about their experience! My gap >:)
Vlogs today are probably high signal and force you to have good lives.
