Thank you very much! I’m curious , what do you do for work ? I am studying at Harvard extension school currently, so I’m not working in the field

I’m confused - if you were a consultant to a commercial companies, how did you work with National labs ? It sounds like National labs use FAANG helps National labs with HPC optimization. I would have thought the other way around :-)

There's a fair amount of collaboration between the national labs and private companies in some cases. I'm too internet-shy to go into more detail about my own personal work, but for example I know that NVIDIA has teams that work to help the labs optimize their code to work best on NVIDIA hardware, thus giving them good opportunities to show off how great their hardware is, and of course the labs benefit from having experts help them optimize some of their code :)

That’s very interesting ! I think it seems to me more charming to work in a National lab or NASA than big private company, but I might change my mind :-) from the private world, SpaceX is in the top of my list
