As a student, I say just try everything you can and decide for yourself. Mathematica is basically a huge collection of already-implemented scientific algorithms. So, no more hunting for Python packages that may or may not work. The main dow

Agreed -- slightly getting the name wrong does a national/international search! Searching for coffee shops often leaves out obvious results such as some Starbucks. Even more frustratingly it doesn't show particular businesses even

Also: It would be wise to verify their professional references. Diligent VCs will check them when you start pitching, and your co-founder's poor references will hinder you from raising capital.

In grad school, I (briefly) researched synthetic DNA logic gates. Using these, you can build neural networks in DNA [1] and probabilistic switching circuits (my co-authored paper) [2]. To do this, you design DNA strands that bind to each ot

Empirical studies are only useful until the system is mathematically understood. For example, I can construct transformer circuits where the skip connection (provably) purely adds noise. I can also prove in particular cases the MLP's s

You could perhaps hire an improv coach for a team workshop. Level one improv is all about building team rapport and helping individuals feel more comfortable contributing in a supportive group.

I'm of the opposite view - publish only if you can prove it. If you reward half results, the field will be deluged with half truths. If someone publishes a hypothesis you're working on with only a half proof (and stands to gain th

Choose the one you're most excited about learning, then go all in as deep/energetically as possible to stand out. The determining factor isn't the job market; it's yourself becoming demotivated when the going gets tough.

Being neutral could also mean striving to make decisions based on independent standards, as opposed to a bias toward one side. For example, a judge who bases decisions on evidence and the law is typically considered neutral -- even when the

My conclusion was that if you're young/healthy, HMO vs PPO may not matter as much. That said, I went with a PPO because in my case: (1) it's faster to see a specialist, since a referral is not required; and (2) in my area, it

I think Steve is approaching this from much more of a business angle. Looking at the Business Model Template slide in the article, programming language choice may not affect the business model much, except perhaps in rare cases where the l

In nearly everything, you can do some "minimum amount" that only makes the appearance of getting by. This works until it doesn't (e.g. the minimum threshold is misjudged). Eventually, others see through it and opportunities c

If you pursue this, make sure to research the tax implications of giving away large chunks of equity post-founding. If you wait until the company has a large valuation, your co-founder could be taxed on the stock's current value, even

Perhaps I was too nice. Most VCs recommended dropping/settling the case, since (1) it was only a year and many startups go bust anyway; (2) the best people spend their energy on the future, not the past; and (3) regardless of the facts

Every communication referenced was in writing. The equity was only one of many very unsavory things that happened, and I eventually had to hire a lawyer. He suggested we sue and took the case on contingency, but by that time the company had

We had well-known lawyers from the beginning who deferred payment until we raised. The problem was that we delegated all legal to my business partner. When we traded the written equity split, he didn't disclose that he held (estimated)
