Meta AI (2 separate searches):



ChatGPT is clearly more accurate. Meta AI seems to confuse Lim Jeck with Lim Li and Lim Min.

FREE Introduction to Competitive Programming course

This is posted on behalf of Mr Yu.

Hello! 👋

We are inviting you to join our Introduction to Competitive Programming course. This course is targeted for students interested in learning CS and perhaps participating in the 2025 National Olympiad in Informatics (NOI).

No prior experience is required! We will teach all the skillsets necessary to get started in competitive programming, starting from the basics of C++ syntax - don’t worry if you’ve never done programming prior to this. 

You will be trained to solve problems with an algorithmic nature, such as those found in NOI and other similar competitive programming competitions. Participants will be equipped with both the foundational tools to deconstruct such problems as well as some common methods to solve these problems.

This course is targeted towards schools who have little to no computer science resources available and due to the limited manpower those students will be given priority access.

Our experience in the field include (but are not limited to): 
-Total of 6 Gold medals in the NOI and a 4th place finish 
-Asia Pacific Informatics Olympiad (APIO) Silver and Bronze medals 
-Placing top 50 globally in Meta Hacker Cup 

No prior experience is required for this course! You can sign up through the form below.  Signups close May 20th and the course starts on June 1st

学会静心

 心情不好的时候,别为难自己,

人生除了生死,都是小事

只要太阳每天照常升起,就没有过不去的坎

生活已经那么累,你又何必想那么多,

把自己搞的那么疲惫?

你难道就不知道,路走的太多,疼的是脚;

人想的太多,累的是心吗?

凡事都要想开点,看淡点,简单点,糊涂点。

永远记住一句话,情绪不能解决任何问题,

何必庸人自扰,何必自寻烦恼!
