- tiffani_ 18y agoIndeed, it's a re-post, but it's always one I'm happy to read again from time to time. :)
- blizkreeg 18y agoWow, blast from the past. I remember reading this in grad school -- it's such an inspiring talk.
- blizkreeg 18y agoAt the time, my roommate and I used to have these conversations on how the prevailing focus in many research labs was more towards simply publishing papers -- which does not necessarily translate to breakthrough, innovate, fundamental research that often takes patience and a long hard look at problems. The pursuit of publications we felt like it was a factory is a sure way of mediocre/average research that gets lost in an increasing pile of papers. I remember reading this article then, many times.
