How to Approach MCAT Physics

When You Haven’t Seen It in Years

What it does

Feeling behind on MCAT Physics? You don’t need to start from zero. This article walks you through rebuilding fundamentals, using visual intuition, and practicing smart. It’s written for students returning to physics after years away and wondering how to catch up efficiently.

    I made a new sensor out of 3D printer filament for my PhD2024 · paulbupejr.com · ▲886

    Here's a "behind-the-scenes" look at my development of a cool sensor during my PhD (electrical engineering). This sensor is only about 1/3 of my total research for my degree and took about a year. I've been on HN for a while now and I've seen my fair share of posts about the woes of pursuing a PhD. Now that I'm done with mine I wanna share some anecdotal evidence that doing a PhD can actually be enjoyable (not necessarily easy) and also be doable in 3 years. When I started I knew I didn't want to work on something that would never leave the lab or languish in a dissertation PDF no one…

    I made a spaced repetition tool to master coding problems2024 · lanki.xyz · ▲206

    As you solve LeetCode questions, you can mark them as hard, medium, or easy. The tool will then recommend questions you should review based on (1) how hard the question was for you and (2) how much time has passed since you last reviewed it. I'd recommend normally attempting LeetCode problems and just marking them as hard, medium, or easy for you at first so the tool knows which problems to recommend you review! Here's the theory behind spaced repetition and learning if interested: https://www.codecademy.com/article/spaced-repetition

    Hey HN! I wanted to share something I built over the last few weeks: isometric.nyc is a massive isometric pixel art map of NYC, built with nano banana and coding agents. I didn't write a single line of code. Of course no-code doesn't mean no-engineering. This project took a lot more manual labor than I'd hoped! I wrote a deep dive on the workflow and some thoughts about the future of AI coding and creativity: http://cannoneyed.com/projects/isometric-nyc
