One thing I always wanted to have is a domain name with my surname.
And here it is yulbarsov.uz
Was supposed to have it running 2 days ago but was unaware that the local domain moderators don't work on weekends.
Don't judge the website too harshly, as the content on the pages isn't fully ready. Just thought I had to launch asap.

Again sleep? Yes. I seem to have been lacking sleep for the past, well, monthS. So, this issue has been particularly pronounced in my daily life. Feeling constant sense of fatigue, lack of direction, almost incessant brain fog. My inability to focus on…
Had a good night's sleep.
Feeling imperturbable once again.🚶♂️

Why Asian apps suck? aka How culture affects the UX design across the world?
You probably know Taobao, and you probably know Amazon.
Both are humongous online marketplaces, but the former's user interface leaves a lot to wish for.
Phoebe covers how culture affects the ux design across the world, and believe me, it's fascinating.

Chinese app design: weird, but it works. Here's why
Chinese app design looks weird. But, they work just as well as other apps and websites around the world. Why is that? I mean, it's cluttered, overwhelming for the eyes, and kinda just throws a bunch of things at you. Turns out, beneath the incredibly cluttered…

Open Data Challenge will take place in New Uzbekistan University in January. I got the second place in 2020, four years ago. It’s a great opportunity to learn and create something meaningful. I highly recommend you to join if you have a chance.

Beginning the year with a bang (to my brain).
Already overwhelmed with the unsettlingly entangled language and content rife in ancient Platonic wisdom.

It was lovely! @karimsblog was absolutely demolished.
@pfr_sam thanks! 900+ hrs in CSGO is pretty astonishing I have to say.

I cannot fathom how people can live in the same place for their whole life. The world is so big and colorful. Leaving the country, seeking struggle novelty, and sheer adventure; experiencing the very bottom of socioeconomic ladder in an arduous attempt…

Conundrum
Some of you know, last September I went to a Korean university - partly to experience a different culture, partly to study something relevant to computer science in a more developed country than Uzbekistan.
Although I loved the culture, country, and people, I wasn't so positive about the university. With its unchallenging environment, subpar education, non-diverse student body, hilly campus, and a lack of Korean training classes for AI majors, it seemed incongruent with the stunning coastal metropolitan cityscape of Busan.
Reflecting on my first semester there, I am now considering to switch my university to some place decent. However, while in previous years I was single-minded about my preference to go to an American college, now, after seeing what Asia has to offer, I am more or else convinced that Korea is even better.
With its beautiful nature, incredibly nice people, peaceful environment, and well-developed, continuously growing tech industry, Korea feels second to none when it comes to choosing a country to make your career or maybe even live in.
There are a number of great institutions in Seoul alone that I am considering to apply to as soon as their application opens: Korea University, Yonsei, SKKU, SNU, and Hanyang. Besides, there are a couple of unis I applied via Common App as a safety that I am pretty sure are going to be greedy with financial aid.
To wrap up, I still believe that college is more about fun and networking than building skills and learning - you can do the latter without going to college. But for now, I will be honing my writing, reading more, learning more, coding more, and (hopefully) posting more.

By the way, these are some of my best pics from Korea 🇰🇷🌉
Although taking pictures isn't exactly my forte, here are three brightest memories.
1. Haeundae Beach in Busan
2. Squid Game stairs(?) in Seoul
3. Incheon Bridge - 21 kilometers of cable-stayed concrete connecting mainland Incheon and Yeongjong Island (Incheon Airport).

It's all in your head.
You are as incapable, unhappy, uncreative, unsuccessful, unintelligent as you convince yourself to be.
Your sufferings are 99% perceived. Most of the pain you tell yourself you experience is merely the pigment of your beliefs and imagination.
It's you who can create the life you want, and you who can just be so stubborn to force it not to happen.
Imagine the perfect life possible. If you could, that already means it's possible to bring about. The only thing that remains is making it a reality.

Teaching is actually incredibly hard, especially if you are not a natural.
My younger brother, who hates math, forgot the long division algorithm (which ig we cover in primary school), and I completely lost my head trying to explain it to him the other day. +kids at that age ask so many questions that it sends your head spinning.
Kudos to every teacher out there. I feel you all!🤧🤝

'If we have that 8am-to-9pm spirit, then we should all go and do something else.'
Forwarded from Du Rove's Channel (Paul Du Rove)
Following the success of the Chinese startup DeepSeek, many are surprised at how quickly China has caught up with the US in AI. However, China’s progress in algorithmic efficiency hasn't come out of nothing. Chinese students have long outperformed others in math and programming at international olympiads
When it comes to producing outstanding performers in math and science, China's secondary education system is superior to that of the West. It fosters fierce competition among students, a principle borrowed from the highly efficient Soviet model
In contrast, most Western schools discourage competition, prohibiting public announcements of students' grades and rankings. The rationale is understandable — to protect students from pressure or ridicule. However, such measures also predictably demotivate the best students. Victory and defeat are two sides of the same coin. Eliminate the losers — and you eliminate the winners ☯️
For many students, motivation to excel in high school comes from treating it as a competitive game, striving to rank first against strong opponents. Removing transparency in student performance can make school feel meaningless for ambitious teenagers. It’s not surprising that many gifted kids now find competitive gaming more exciting than academics — at least in video games, they can see how each player ranks
Telling all students they are champions, regardless of performance, may seem kind — until you consider how quickly reality will shatter this illusion after graduation. Reality, unlike well-meaning school policies, does have public grades and rankings — whether in sports, business, science, or technology. AI benchmarks that demonstrate DeepSeek's superiority are one of such public rankings. And more are coming. Unless the US secondary education system undergoes radical reform, China’s growing dominance in technology seems inevitable

What Are the Four Cardinal Virtues of Stoicism?
The ancient philosophical school of Stoicism had four defining principles, known as the ‘Four Cardinal Virtues of Stoicism.’
