Welcome to the blog of Can Sar, a Stanford CS major. This blog is made up of my thoughts on Computer Science and the computer industry, as well as ever exciting tales from my life.
Professor John McCarthy told us today, that he would accept two of us as his advisees. Given that he has not done this in a long time, and has only one PhD student, this is a great honor. I am seriously considering the offer, but I'm not entirely sure, whether it is exactly what I want. Unfortunately, I do not have too much time to decide.
Any advice?
Well, it all depends on what you want to do. I would say that if you wanted to do good old fashioned AI research (as opposed to the newfangled statistical stuff), then it's a good idea. If you want to work as a database developer, then it's probably not.
