   So true! May I add that timing and context matters too. When I was living in Paris I used to read on the subway to and from work, which added up to 30 minutes a day. I went through lots of books that I would otherwise not have the mental st

   Am I reading this right? A dozen eggs in 2021 went for less than 1$?

   Vancouver is pretty clean, have you ever been to Paris or Rome? (I’ve lived in all three)

   My company provided an iPad + pencil, and my group has another one in the office. It’s better than nothing, but it’s nowhere near as effective as doing the Raj and Sheldon “stare at the board” act. It’s true that on a physical board you ca

   There is also another type of comb that is extremely useful: the GKP qubit (introduced in https://arxiv.org/abs/quant-ph/0008040 ). Its wavefunction is a comb.

   Perhaps they are more easily compressible? Once a bunch of nearby weights have similar roles one may not need all of them.

    I feel I finally can put a name to my coding style! Incidentally, I also like to pretend classes and functions exist even if they don’t. Of course my discovery code won’t work, but I can go very far and discover a lot of useful information

    This is fun, but from what I understood, the purpose of those random sms is to "warm up the number", so the best course of action is to either ignore them or reply STOP.

    Wow, my brain read “my LLM alternative” and I was genuinely confused for a while when reading the blog post :facepalm:

    That’s what happened to me: PhD in UK -> postdoc 1 -> postdoc 2 -> faculty -> industry.

    Few can imagine the complexity of spooling up a world-class fab. Marvel of engineering.

    One should also add that (at least in Canada) newer buildings are not built for families but for investors. Who needs all of those 30 square meter studios?

    I don't have specific recommendations, I mostly use libraries to draw quantum computing circuits, but they're not great for tensor networks even though they share some features. Man, we think alike. Btw, I've seen you work wi

    There are some libraries, but the style is so not standardized that I understand your desire to write your own. Back in 2020 I wanted to write a library based on manim to animate the contractions, but I never came around to it (and manim ba

    The main trick (to add cornstarch in order to achieve the right creaminess) is good for lots of recipes where you have milk/cheese and you want to make it creamy. It's a real ace up the cook's sleeve.
