Day 6 · Sat 2026-10-10 · ChatGPT CORE

Adaptive 45-minute ChatGPT mock and LeetCode pressure follow-up

Week 11 trains two designs with one operating spine: admission, isolation, durable work, queue/backpressure, streaming/reconnect, derived state, evals, and recovery.

3contiguous 1-D DP slots

25-35mattempt + follow-up window

Staffinvariant, failure, recovery, metrics

Exact Daily Schedule

No drift: the same six blocks run every day.

Time	Block	Contract
08:50-09:00	Target	Write one Staff-level invariant and one failure window before reading.
09:00-10:05	Project design	45m adaptive ChatGPT mock plus 35m LeetCode pressure follow-up.
10:05-10:45	DDIA / source grounding	Map the design to exact DDIA anchors and only direct applied-AI sources.
10:45-10:55	Spoken close	Record the architecture in English, then say the Chinese invariant aloud.
14:30-16:15	1-D DP contiguous block	Three NeetCode slots below; each slot is 25-35 minutes plus follow-up.
20:30-21:15	Recall / artifact	Run English Senior+/Staff recall and patch the scorecard evidence.

Canonical Hello Interview Anchors

Direct day-page anchors only. Source titles were verified live before build.

No new Hello Interview anchor today; use the mock and scorecard pages.

Exact DDIA Mapping

Only Ch5, Ch9, and Ch13 sections are in scope.

Chapter	Exact section	Interview use
Ch13	信任但验证	Evals, canaries, and replay verify correctness after model, prompt, or index changes.

Applied AI Source Gate

First-party/original sources appear only when they change a serving, eval, security, or operating decision.

No applied-AI source is introduced today unless it changes a concrete serving, eval, security, or operating decision.

21-Slot 1-D DP Runway

Today is slot 16-18 of 21, contiguous across the week.

Block	NeetCode problem	Mode	Invariant	25-35m follow-up	Complexity
14:30-15:05	Interleaving String	2D frontier	dp[j] says prefixes s1[:i] and s2[:j] can form s3[:i+j].	Ask for rolling-row update order.	O(mn) / O(n)
15:05-15:40	Paint House	Color exclusion	Cost for a color adds the min previous cost among other colors.	Ask for O(k) extension.	O(n) / O(1)
15:40-16:15	Paint House II	Min and second min	For each row, reuse previous min unless same color, then second min.	Ask how to handle ties.	O(nk) / O(k)

Artifacts And Recall

Use these in the evening block and scorecard.

Required spoken close: explain one invariant, one failure window, one recovery path, and one metric in English. Then restate the same design decision in Chinese without adding new components.
