I built a system that lets LLMs automatically learn and improve problem-solving strategies over time, inspired by Andrej Karpathy's idea of a "third paradigm" for LLM learning. The basic idea: instead of using static system prompts, the LLM builds up a database of strategies that actually work for different problem types. When you give it a new problem, it selects the most relevant strategies, applies them, then evaluates how well they worked and refines them. For example, after seeing enough

Father of two here. I started coding in BASIC when I was 8 and fell in love with computers. It evolved into a passion for building products, and it has been my life's career. My son is showing interest in programming, mostly because, like other kids, he wants to make games. That's what got me started, too :) We've been working with Scratch and GameMaker, and I’ve been focusing on fundamentals like logic, structure, and problem-solving. It's really about getting him experience breaking problems

We just compiled every problem (and solution) in the book and made them available for free. There are ~230 problems in total. Some of them are classics like n-queens, but almost all are new and not found in the original CTCI. You can read through the problems and solutions, or you work them with our AI Interviewer, which is also free. I'd recommend doing A

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. They say a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush, but for computer scientists, two birds in a hole are better still. That’s because those cohabiting birds are the protagonists of a deceptively simple mathematical theorem called the pigeonhole principle. It’s easy to sum up in one short sentence: If six pigeons nestle into five pigeonholes, at least two of them must share a hole. That’s it—that’s the whole thing. “The pigeonhol

First they must choose a problem to solve—akin to identifying a peak to climb—and then they must develop a strategy to solve it. Classical and quantum researchers compete using different strategies, with a healthy rivalry between the two. Quantum researchers report a fast way to solve a problem—often by scaling a peak that no one thought worth climbing—then cla
