I think that's the point - "pretty good" isn't good enough for a top school to want to admit you. Second year college/CS is pretty good but I went to a great high school where there were 50+ kids at that level. Th

This resonates with me - I primarily run and lift weights, neither of which require much quick thinking or movement outside of specific patterns. So while it's not my primary focus, I do try to include a few sessions of rock climbing a

“Probably doesn’t halt” is ill defined, it either halts or it doesn’t. In either case, computability of that number is completely separate from whether we can prove that number is BB(N) or decide whether a given beaver halts. Additionally,
