    How do you do independent research as a CS undergrad? How do you start? What should you know? Are there any prerequisites?

    Hi iam a computer science sophomore from a state sponsored college in India. Iam interested in a career in academia, mainly research. But no productive research happens here in India, and there is no suitable environment for it. I wish to do independent research for the sake of it and to pursue a PhD in any European or US universities as the people there seems to care about it. Any bit of information you have , tips, experiences, all are welcome.

    Theory of computation.

    Posted: 05 Jul 2020 02:15 AM PDT

    hello friends.

    I'm taking theory this sem and I just started studying it.

    we start with DFA and I feel like it's kinda complex,I wouldn't call it hard yet,but it's like you need to see alot of examples and try many different things on the JFLAP to fully get an idea of it,I'm getting better but it takes alot of time,is this normal?for it to take this much study time?

    It reminded me a little of when I took Data structures and it took over my life,where I'd study it for days on end,just trying so many things to understand a concept,and I felt like I became a no-life.

    I don't know what I'm asking here,I really don't, I just don't understand how people can take a course load of 5 or 6 subjects,and I'm out here putting all my time and effort on 1 subject to understand it and get a good grade.

    is the norm in CS for one course to take an absurd amount of time cause I feel like some courses like theory/discrete/C++/Data have been extremely complex and deep,and I'm just in the beginning.

    or am I doing stuff completely wrong,and people don't really take this much time to "understand" stuff?

    help me...

    BA in Maths Applying to a MS in CS - Need Advice

    Posted: 05 Jul 2020 12:07 AM PDT

    Hi everyone,

    I graduated two years ago with BA in Maths and started working in a consulting firm. I got more and more involved with data science work and started really enjoying coding and developing different sorts of pipelines.

    So now I'm starting my MS applications and I have two choices: MS in Stats or MS in CS. The path for MS in Stats is pretty obvious for me and I have a standard profile for it.

    However, the MS CS seems to be quite a deviation for me and I was wondering if someone who did not have a CS bachelors background has been accepted into a MS CS and what kinda classes or arguments you provided in your cover letter? Did the admission committee suggest taking courses prior to the start of the MS CS program? If this your situation, what university/program did you attend?

    Thanks!

    Interesting way to find solution to hamiltonian cycle problem

    Posted: 05 Jul 2020 01:47 AM PDT

    Hello,

    Given a graph of m edges and n vertices, isn't the total complexity of finding a hamiltonian cycle around mCn (where C is Combination), when we can find n edges graphs out of m edges in mCn ways?

    Is it still exponential complexity or complex still as it has factorial terms of m and n?

    Please reflect on the complexity elaborately?

    Thanks Vinay

    Ethics of Simulating the entire Human Body. Do you support it?

    Posted: 05 Jul 2020 02:04 AM PDT

    When quantum computing is able to simulate the entire human body, I think that it's important to consider the ethical concerns from the implications of this act. From what we understand in medicine, the mind is located somewhere/or is the entirety of the brain. When we perfect quantum computing enough to simulate the entire human body, we would need to simulate brain function and thus create a being with consciousness, pain centers, emotions, etc. We would be creating a human life, just so that they could feel pain. Please keep in mind that there won't only be one being simulated here. There will at least be millions or billions of these beings living being simulated at one second. These beings can include a variety of DNA sequences. Please, keep in mind that this is an AI and human enhancement related topic.

    I just wanted to share this understand what the community feels about this serious subject. These beings would be treated worse than the animals that we eat. Please consider what I wrote here. These words might trouble you a bit. I would appreciate if you could spread this around.

    I would really like an answer to how we could solve this issue. I really believe that we should find other uses for quantum computing that don't involve doing this.
