After reading this blog, I'm ashamed. I just graduated from college. In my high school, the education of physics was so boring and tiresome that I even hated it at one point. For this reason, I chose computer science rather than physics as my major in college. Later, I gradually became interested in physics, however, due to the lack of good enough study habits, atmosphere and courage (which is a self-deprecating way of saying cowardice and laziness), until now I have not taken a step forward. This is the decision I regret most in my life. I am going to the United States to study for a master's degree in CS. Maybe I can learn some physics during the freetime of the two-year program because the educational resources in the United States are more abundant(perhaps).

Go easy on yourself.

Thanks, this is inspiring.

I feel the same way about pursuing CS instead of Physics. But at some point, a pragmatic solution had to be made. So don’t go hard on yourself for that, you probably would have felt the same way about CS too.

Yeah thanks. The difference of CS and physics, and other natural science, I think, is that it's more about engineering even though it's name is computer "science". However the pupolar deep learning may satisfy the needs of a natural science enthusiast. Since Hinton sayed the way neural network workss resembles the mechanism of human brain[^1]. It's quite exciting.
