    I am not sure if we see the same thread. There is one reaction from "Rust" dev (who seems have a very new account on github) on why not rust. Most of the others seem to be from C# …

    You also need some foundation in Linear Algebra if you want to have better formal understanding of its underlying framework( which is Hilbert Space).

    Sometimes, one case where I made use of this is enumeration of uarch for different hardware to read from the host machine. The update for for new uarch type is closed ended until t…

    Yeah I feel that, not the entire language but, many of its choices, like error handling, sum types (with exhaustive enum matching) especially when writing in python.

    Rust's design is designed to be more in the mentality of if it compiles that it is good enough, leaving less for runtime issues to occur unexpected, dictated by type and memory saf…

    The stable ABI is really tricky. Another pointer from another talk was about how stabilizing ABI might reduce the performance hash functions (which is used by the compiler) by 0.5%…

    For me, it was introductory quantum mechanics (QM) books, you can go with MIT online course from Barton Zwiebach and online course from BLIS (This is for Rust/C implementation of B…

    On what topic? Linear Algebra, Quantum Mechanics?

    For me, the main solution was to apply it to another problem that uses Linear Algebra as Application, which in my case was Introductory Quantum Course and implementing BLAS using R…

    If you are shocked by this, I suggest not reading his other recent topics.

    A few main reasons: - Quantum Hardware is tough scale up (not impossible) due to decoherence of quantum systems, you need quantum error correction. - Finding an application that ju…

    A contributing factor is how complex/smart the current hardware is. It can have cache line size, different forms of hardware/software prefetching, different ports for different ops…

    Another point to appreciate is how universal this principle of symmetry is. It is used in every branch of physics going from Classical Physics (Lagrangian Formulation) to quantum p…

    Agree with that. His statements are available on youtube. I was suprised how positive and eager to the change he was.

    I am also curios about at least some benchmark even if it is not one-to-one perfect comparison. There should be at least one case-study where they have shorter feedback loop with Z…

    Yeap, type provides a really good baseline for a documentation. A good documentation is really needed when debugging dynamically typed language python.

    That is what I am struggling to understand about the hype. I regularly use them to generate new simd. Other than a few edge cases (issues around handling of nan values, order of ar…

    Generally speaking, Scott Aaronson has been really fun to listen to on variety of topics. I would suggest listening a few recent podcast he appeared on youtube. He has this really …

    In terms of books, I would say Linear Algebra Done Right. The book requires some background to understand efficient. But, once you have some background, it is very good for having …

    The first (and important enough) practical application (apart from breaking RSA) seems to be simulation of quantum systems. But, this has some problems since alot of quantum models…
