Breaking My University's Machine Learning Competition — Ludicity
A few weeks ago, I popped open the Y-Combinator application form and saw that one of the only things they ask for is a story about hacking a non-technical system. Well, I don't really have a reason to beg for money, lacking an unprofitable idea to beeline for an IPO1 with, but I did find myself really wanting to write about this. Starting with all the hacking I did at university. I have many, mostly vaguely negative, feelings towards university, which many people find odd coming from someone that did exceedingly well at it.
