"if quantum computers start breaking cryptography a few years from now, don’t you dare come to this blog and tell me that I failed to warn you. This post is your warning. Please start switching to quantum-resistant encryption, and urge your company or organization or blockchain or standards body to do the same."

I was checking to see this years winning projects. unfortunately it has been postponed to august because of the war.


(I actually miss it so much. It was the first time I felt like I belonged in qc space...maybe next year🤞)

Ewin Tang (born 2000) is a computer scientist at the University of California, Berkeley. She was named as one of 2019 Science Forbes 30 Under 30 for her work developing classical algorithms which matched the performance of the fastest known quantum algorithms, done as an undergraduate under the supervision of Scott Aaronson.

(she's so inspiring. I wish to read and understand her work someday)

(South Africa is the only African country that has investment in this space around 12 million. For comparison USA and China are investing 9.2 and 17.05 billion respectively)

as a girl, education gives you choices. I believe choice is the most important thing to have. your whole life depends on it.

the system isn't made for you, and being incompetent on top of that is a slap to your future self.

(it's really disappointing to have the access generations of women didn't have and not use it to your advantage.)

the book was also amazing

it's crazy how the author was a software engineer and wrote this magnificent book(his other books are on my list)

introducing my sister

sma?

soo i had a little bit of technical difficulty andd i don't see the text that was send at first

but yeah i changed the link and i can see it now

we like robi

(and odit it's not sponsored or is it?)

my bad

I didn't know that you were talking about my cat

I recommend the form tho. very productive

I know it's you

I understand that formal education isn’t the best here, but one has to take responsibility for teaching themselves. It could be through reading books, building things, or anything else that helps them learn.

Like that quote: “The ultimate sign of intelligence is getting what you want from life.” For me personally, when I was 18, I realized I didn’t like the way I thought about things and decided to change it. I started reading and made it a goal. I can see progress and new perspectives too, I guess. Anyway, learning should be continuous.

“Life is like error correction. The moment correction stops, you die.” I heard that today.

(I’ll edit this after I reply to the other questions.)

the simple answer is it keeps me curious and humble.

and regarding opportunities there isn't much here....maybe it's a quest for future me to create it

get yourself a cake if you can...it helps

nahh, I'm married

umm my goals change every year tho. I do like making plans/goals on my birthday. It's like a new year to me

It’s not too late. In fact, it’s probably the best time to start.

I recommend taking the math courses seriously, especially linear algebra. Understand it really well. Also, try to get software internships or build projects, because you need to become capable through practice.

Personally, I loved compiler design and formal languages classes. I don’t know, explore different areas, but those are somewhat related.

Try to get research experience as well.

Of course, not all at the same time, but yeah.
