The original study explicitly argued for deliberate practice. Musicians who didn't do that could not become experts.

Super interesting, when Quantum computing would enable really large models, or much larger contexts. But QRAM is even more behind than pure fault-tolerant gates.

I also don't like this focus on practical applications. It is true for me as an engineer, that in the end I want to build something. But when I force myself to focus only on the pr…

it's only because you can send texts via imessage on a macmini. that's it.

For me that creativity is very well expressed by the principle of abduction. With induction, generalise towards rules, or deduction, use rules on data, we have this combination of …

It is a bit like in "Profession" by Isaac Asimov. We will still have the need for some people who will write code manually, fix the craft. We will need the "Feeble Minded" asylum t…

Always store the location, too. Space-Time is a thing.

that's why I still love the quest3, just for the potential. but xreal makes more sense, and then a more open platform. but I think post-covid we approach neuromancer more than ever…

You could look at only two niche blockchains, QRL and ABEL, and they are both affected. Algorand is the most established L1 with a quite developed migration plan ( https://algorand…

I feel like Qiskit is the standard nowadays, and maybe because of the early mover advantage it will prevail after NISQ (Noisy Intermediate-Scale Quantum). It's actually just a Pyth…

there's actually a really good book that bridged it well for me when I was doing my bachelors, A Little Java, A Few Patterns. this is from the famous lisp books for groking FP.

I think it all depends on the shape of the problem. I love Prolog for its expressive power, sometimes. Complex simulation problems are really nice to model in OCaml or CLOS, and th…

Yes, I also tried coffee first time when in England when 13, and it was like a revelation. I understand that beer and cigarettes are an acquired taste, they tasted terrible, but co…

When doing my Bachelor degree my dad gave me an old thinkpad to run on linux. It was a horrible experience for preparing powerpoints, papers, etc. But I still have that command lin…

Set up the machine yesterday. Everything runs just fine. Will use it mainly for academic writing, and light development work, only conceptual work, PoCs.

SAP is much better than the home-grown stuff Tesla, Space X, or Amazon are using. One needs to compare the "new" public cloud solution, rather than the outdated soon not supported …

I worked with several multinationals, and the Germans always had very complex processes, but cannot at all confirm that they were the least digitised. The Americans were always beh…

Wait for the robots taking manual labor. Maybe there is some value in nursing them?

Sorry, the phrasing might not have been clear. Until that event, I was always propagating to drink tap water. After that I realized that research is important.

No, it is now nine years ago, but I think it was from some state government agency. I know it was not from Hamburg Wasser, as it concerned not the public lines, but from the house …

In Python you can use a library, then it is: x = np.linalg.solve(A, b). But yeah, Octave is nice, because it stays very symbolic.

Yes, in Hamburg, Germany there are a lot of lead pipes still. When moving there I got to find this out by a letter from the government, that I should know that I have many times ov…

Yes, this is so true for me. Especially when I had this revenge arc, where I knew I could be good. Most of my strengths came later. Now people think that I am talented in that stuf…

Yeah, let's see how Xous fairs. Approach is interesting, and maybe the future is in those small, hardened microkernels.

I did my PhD while working, so it's not even that either or. And just to add to your point, it is really so rare to get that kind of mentoring, feedback than in a PhD program. It m…
