This is also very valuable material ... u will build ur own computer ...

I will take it ... I think my financial aid have expired(after 6 months it expires) and I should use another acc to apply ... bcha It is insane like it is project based betam ena at every module they give like ~ 2 hrs for lecture and ~ 3 - 6 hrs for implementing the things learnt

now someone's gonna say ... "why even bother learning this stuff when ai is just gonna surpass us anyway"

bro. if we don't understand how things work at a fundamental level, we don't have a long future in this field. ai doesn't make deep knowledge useless — it makes it more valuable

like gpu design, computer architecture ... these things directly affect how ai is built and how far it can go. the people who will actually push things forward aren't just the ones using the tools, they're the ones who understand what's underneath well enough to rethink the tools entirely

we need to go beyond surface level and start thinking like researchers. and that starts with actually knowing how things work

Me talking this having OS exam tomorrow 😭

have a nice day ለማንኛውም 😁

was studying page replacement algorithms and had a thought ...

quick context first: your computer's RAM is limited. the OS creates an illusion that every program has way more memory than physically exists — it secretly stores some of it on disk. but when a program needs a page that's currently on disk, the OS has to bring it in ... and if RAM is full, it has to kick something out first

which page do you kick out? that's the page replacement problem

the classic algorithms (LRU, CLOCK ...) are hand-crafted heuristics. I bet many of u know abt LRU - it evicts the least recently used page basically ...

the theoretically perfect one — OPT — evicts whichever page won't be needed for the longest time. but it requires knowing the future lol

so I was thinking ... why not RL?

— state: recent page access history
— action: which page to evict on a fault
— reward: +1 hit, -1 fault

RL could learn to approximate OPT from patterns in the workload instead of needing oracle knowledge

turns out this is a real research area called learning-augmented algorithms — you take something like LRU and plug in an ML predictor on top. good predictor → approach OPT, bad predictor → fall back to LRU gracefully

OS exam tomorrow and my brain is doing research ideation 😭

And this was the ending 😭😭

ያው ኖሮም አልሰራ ግን it hurts 😁😭

Anyone በቅርብ የገዛ? Still is there the two year plan ende?

Yeah they are awesome ...

the amharic fern 🔥 ... they style + content ... ትንሽ ግን ሌላ ተራኪ ቢሆን ጸድ ነው

If you think you shouldn't make your bed because it will just get messy again, I have terrible news about literally every aspect of life.

Ontogeny Recapitulates Phylogeny
Each new class of computer (mainframe → mini → PC → smartphone → smart card) goes
through the same evolutionary stages as its predecessors. Assembly → high-level
languages. No OS → batch → multiprogramming → timesharing. No disk → single directory
→ hierarchical file system. Technologies become obsolete, then return as hardware
changes. Example: caches appeared when CPUs got faster than RAM. If RAM ever
became faster than CPU, caches would vanish. Study 'obsolete' ideas — they may return.

"በሰላም እተኛለሁ፥ አንቀላፋለሁም፤ አቤቱ፥ አንተ ብቻህን በእምነት አሳድረኸኛልና።"

"ለአንተ ፈጥረኸናልና ልባችን በአንተ እስካላረፈ ድረስ ዕረፍት የለውም። ጌታ ሆይ፥ አንተን የሚለምንህ ማን ነው? አንተን መጥራት ራሱ የእምነት ምልክት ነው፤ እምነትንም የሰጠኸን አንተ ነህ። ነፍሴ ሆይ፥ አሁን እረፊ፤ የፈጠረሽ አልረሳሽምና። ከዋክብትን በእጁ የያዘ እሱ ዛሬ ሌሊትሽንም በእጁ ይዟል።"

— St. Augustine - Confessions

"አንድ ወንድም አባ ፖይመንን እንዲህ ሲል ጠየቃቸው፦ 'ከመተኛቴ በፊት ምን ላድርግ?' ሽማግሌውም፦ 'በውስጥህ ስላለው እስትንፋስ እግዚአብሔርን አመስግን፤ ያ ብቻ በቂ ነው' አሉት።"

ቅዱስ ዮሐንስ አፈወርቅ

"ከእንቅልፍህ ስትነቃ መጀመሪያ የምታደርገው ነገር ቢኖር አፍህ ለእግዚአብሔር ምስጋናን እንዲያቀርብ መፍቀድ ይሁን። ነፍስህ በአምላኳ ስም መባረክ ስትጀምር ሰይጣን ይሸሻል፤ መላእክትም ወደ አንተ ይቀርባሉ።"

መልካም ውሎ
