Great work!

I wonder if their expertise would be helpful in understanding deep learning, a rare field that made advances before mathematicians had fully laid the groundwork (sometimes they do a century ahead of time :));

This sort of news is always like a splash of cold water to the face to me.

I haven't produced any breakthrough research as an undergraduate. Have I accomplished enough? Am I too complacent? Should I be doing more, working more, studying more?

I always remember that the best way to achievement is to stick to areas that are personally exciting to me, and keep cranking at the best pace I can.

Others' success shouldn't make you anxious. Instead, let it motivate you to move faster along your own groove.

instead of breaking new ground in statistics, i'm using 100% of my brain's ability to add, minus, multiply and divide to squeeze another 0.003 bps in trade execution.

i sleep soundly at night knowing that there are guys who are way smarter than me doing even sillier things than me.
