I had similar question ... based on a hint @DoctorOetker gave in his comments, e.g., system biology, etc., searched the web and found quite a few good starting references with https://users.ece.cmu.edu/~brunos/Lecture1.

Truly a treasure trove … unfortunately, much of the wisdom from people like Dijkstra seems to have been forgotten or ignored by the software engineering industry.

At some point, quantum effects will need to be accounted for. The no cloning theorem will make it hard to replicate the quantum state of the brain.

“Election has consequences.” … Managing a country is a big and critical job. Hard to imagine it was handed over to a bunch of people who barely qualified and hardly care about the future of America.

Physical phenomena seem to be algorithmic is an illusion, folks. We only have a model of the physical world. The model itself may be algorithmic.

Learning how to learn is the most important skill to acquire in school. If I may add, learning how to learn effectively is a lifetime journey.

As the bottom of LLM inference, it is sampling for the next token based on the probability distribution conditioned on the tokens currently in the context window. If the distribution exhibits degeneracy in probability for more than token, o

Democracy as an ideal is not what is being practiced here in the US, at least in the last twenty or so years. People hacked the supreme court, hacked the media to con the voters for vote, big money comes into the mix, etc., no wonder it is

wheels get reinvented again again again and again … this is quite unique to info tech … imagine mathematicians do the same, the world would be in chaos …

I am surprised there is so much talk about China. Can we just focus on our own business here in the US: fixing the roads, bridges, schools, cities, etc.? Let’s make America greater first!

An implication from the 1985 paper of Peter Naur on programming as theory building is that the current LLM coding tool would be very effective in generating technical debt even when it works ... use at your own risk.

Would add that in the hands of experienced developers, vibe coding is of not much help either. Coding would be much minimized with a good framework and re-use, while keeping the entire codebase maintainable.

Alarming statistics … many big companies also set up so-called engineering centers outside of the US and ship IT works there, often sidelining talent they already have in the US. Combining these practices, it would not be surprising the sam
