tele acting up mid meeting brings me closer to God

so many cool projects

CUDA-Q has been in my to-learn list for a while. I didn't have an immediate reason but we'll see

(I'm a beginner hmm not really)

i figured out what the magic wand does

(it's like fruit ninja of qc)

when the plot of the book starts to get good

(that's why I picked it up)

Only a month away from my birthday so I'm trying to increase my stat about the books of this year


A lot of unfinished books and one thing for sure I won't beat my 18 year old self. She read 93 books, I'm not even close to that now.

so far the best way I fixed my procrastination is by starting another slightly bigger project and then procrastinate on that project using the original one.

so the issue i worked on has sparked a bigger discussion between the main people of the project. I mean i like the attention but also i feel like an imposter cause i forked their codebase 3 days ago for this hackathon and now me and claude are in a discussion for a major change

(removing duplicate dots from the figures turned into making circuit generation deterministic)

i sometimes think about in absolute life threatening scenario, i open an app and i get locked out by one of the limit i put up

one of the main ways my year at a2sv (g5) impacted me is that, somewhere along the way, i developed this sense that i will figure things out. all those failed contests, struggling to understand algorithms, and even taking a while to grasp recursion gave me the quiet confidence that i can work things out.

that helps a ton when most of the things i get exposed to in quantum are new to me. i know eventually, they won't be.

it's also a bonus when you're surrounded by some of the smartest people. i had the privilege of knowing and befriending some of them.

(i saw a lot of hashmaps today, and that triggered this.)

my favorite scientist

people say we will use quantum computers for playing video games or for sending email or when will i have one on my desk to do those things and I say to them would you use space shuttle to taxi people around the parking lot? It's not that you couldn't but that's not the point

Scott Aaronson

this seems interesting...i haven't worked with Lean so i don't know much about it.

if you have, what was your experience like?
