+o spent the morning prepping for interview, then went to school before lunch so that i don't fall asleep on my table. the seminar was about RAG from an AWS dev advocate. i couldn't pay attention at all even though it might've been insightful and useful information. studied LC and the class content simultaneously. had a short quiz at the end which i almost could not solve because i was panicking. i'm worried this would be my interview. i have to learn how to control my nerves. our mlops group project is about turning 2d images into 3d models. we've been using [trellis](https://fal.ai/models/fal-ai/trellis) on fal.ai. the idea is, we can generate these 3d characters just by drawing them/describing them, and these 3d characters can interact in a digital world on three.js, and we can use voice to control these characters.

+spent the time reading through these two blogs for my interview:
+
+- [Automated GenAI-driven search quality evaluation](https://www.linkedin.com/blog/engineering/ai/automated-genai-driven-search-quality-evaluation)
+- [Introducing Semantic Capability in LinkedIn's Content Search Engine](https://www.linkedin.com/blog/engineering/search/introducing-semantic-capability-in-linkedins-content-search-engine)
+
+i find it hard to come up with a good question to ask because i lack the intuition that comes from solving this problem. i can't underestand what came before, and what can come after. how to i build this intuition without any experience with this system. i feel like an outsider looking in, trying to figure out a black box.
+
+i'm feeling queasy everytime i think about my interview.
+
+went to Boulevard cafe to have dinner with church people. i was supposed to go to their gathering since 2 pm but just thinking about everything i still dont' know and feel unprepared for, i did not feel good about it. i got home at around 8 pm. got so burnt out i watched clips of arrested development. the arc of rita and michael was a good stress reliever.
+
+i spent the rest of the night memorizing number of islands and max area of islands. bfs and dfs is so much easier to understand than dp. i need to solve more dp questions.
+
+i also have to start prepping for the ML parts, and read his search system at a deeper level. i have to be prepared for anything. i have to at least get into the 5 rounds. i must crack FAANG.

+i went to my baptism/confirmation class at 11am for my joining the church as an associate member. there are three simple rules by john wesley to live out the baptism vows: do no harm, do good, and stay in love with God.
+
+after church i spent 30 dollars buying roasted pork and fried rice and vege and pork buns. i felt scammed. i proceeded to buy air fryer liners, dish scrubes, and a sticky note for my interview. i went to A's house to start my prep. i'm beginning to lose my sanity. this interview has made me so jumpy and jittery all the time. i'm glad i have A to cowork with.
+
+i left around 4:30 to buy groceries. i needed ginger for my chickens soup and vegetables. i got home, finished the ethics homework, and showered. the rest of the night was calling my family, talking to T, bearing the shouting lady beside my building, and doing bibile study with T. we watched bible project videos for [judges](https://bibleproject.com/guides/book-of-judges/) and [ruth](https://bibleproject.com/explore/video/ruth/). i slept at 12:13 am.
