Since my first grad degree was in graphics I can attest graphics helps a lot in out of the box thinking for my work in machine learning. Lots of the math overlaps but is used in different ways. Graphics is especially useful for people working in robotics and perception.
This dude's a powerhouse of incredible graphics work. I recommend digging into his research if you're curious about applied differential equations for graphics - and more broadly, applying self-organizing principles to let physics-like algorithms "solve the problem for your" :-)

One thing I struggle to relate to in other smart people is just deciding what your beliefs are at a young age and never outgrowing, challenging, or evolving them much. If it's not cold hard math, it's probably something that you or greater society should outgrow at some point.

Transdimensional beings drag you into hyperspace. You can't understand them, but they're inspecting your insides and laughing at your ribosomes. They drop you off on a street corner in North Beach. Later, your ribosomes are plastered all over hyperspace in a sad relatable meme.

I'll be the first to say that older women are generally much more interesting, but I think this is a little too much of a gap.

Half a billion pounds of copper “vanished.” Minoans in Michigan. Bronze Age fleets on the Great Lakes. The rumors never die. But the ground tells another story….pits, hammerstones, artifacts and a silence we’ve been filling for over a century. 🧵

This is how we were always meant to watch movies and TV
Halftime: Dynamically weaves AI-generated ads into the scenes you’re watching, so breaks feel like part of the story instead of interruptions. @krishgarg09 @yuviecodes @lohanipravin

This has now led me to a really exciting fundraising idea that could both bootstrap a lot of money and could catch the interest of a lot of female VCs.
women collectively have absolutely no idea how many cool crafts and how much pretty jewelry they could make if they only had a sputtering machine

The number of 18 year olds skipping college to move to SF will be noticeably smaller within 6-12 months. Within 1-4 years, the archetype of "college dropout tech founder" will also get noticeably less abundant, by about 10-20%. The average age of SF tech people will increase.

Big dip in TFR around 2008. In a few years, the number of young people moving to NY and SF is going to very suddenly fall off a cliff.

Birth rates in the US plummeted during the 2008 financial crisis and have never recovered. Being 17 years ago now, this is about a year away from severely impacting college admission rates. However, a few years from now it will also hit the "young people to NY/SF" pipeline.

I'm thinking that I should try to visit NYC again in the next couple months. Is there anyone there I should try to meet?

Ok, I gotta admit that LLMs can be great tutors, once you understand the sorts of questions they are good for, vs others they are not. Alas you still gotta assume ~10-20% of what they tell you is wrong.

You can cold DM people and sometimes a few months later you have a cool new friend or a great business opportunity, and other times you just get ignored or blocked.

I haven't been keeping extremely close attention on Neuralink in a bit, but from what I've been reading it sounds like they're still struggling to make literally any progress at all in dealing with representational drift. The brain is rewiring itself constantly, and the few kB/s
@vers_laLune I suspect that interfacing with the alien technology that is the brain will prove to be a serious barrier, and what Neuralink can actually achieve will get scaled back. They'll find some crude way to serve ads with it, but the direction Neuralink takes for the next few decades

People will often read something complex and controversial and either take it as an unquestionable gospel or as a profound heresy that must be violently opposed on all fronts. Truth is an elusive thing and very often the frameworks people build only gesture in its general
