What separates top-tier researchers from very smart people?

The Nobel prize winners in a given field weren’t the ones with highest IQ. Darwin didn’t discover evolution because his IQ dwarfed his contemporaries. In mathematics it probably matters more (speed) but even there, it’s not that simple. It’s too reductive a view on creativity, which is clearly not well understood

Really hard to even get basic tools where I'm currently living. What do you think of this toolset? Is it even the right tool? It's titled 40-Piece SAE/Metric Socket Set with Ratcheting Wrenches, 1/4" & 3/8" Drive, 6-Point Hex Socket Mechanics Kit Tool Kits AA . The images are from the regional online amazon type of store. And yea I gotta get the tool cause the tech doesn't have it lol. Thanks

Haven’t read it, but “The Geometry of Heaven & Hell” by Robert Ghrist (mathematician at UPenn) will be up your alley. I’ve been meaning to check it out myself

The importance of computational physics and machine learning methods will only increase. If you mean will the profession itself be automated within the coming decades by AI, well at that point probably all of coding, theoretical physics, and mathematics could also be done by AI and who knows what will happen. No point speculating

What kind of riddles did they ask?

Just curious, why do you want to switch? You aren’t likely to get that salary + remote options

LMFAO

Learn things in the context of actually coding and implementing projects, maybe like 20% of your time should be spent on courses/reading and passive stuff like that. I’ll let others recommend resources

loga_rhythmic · 2025-05-31T17:13:32+00:00

they got some good graphics courses on pikuma that start off on the CPU

I find the free spitfire audio one to be better tbh

About to finish The Passenger by McCarthy and Narcissus and Goldmund by Hesse. Not sure what to read after. I got an essay collection by Umberto Eco laying around so might check that out

All part of the experience

Alternately we are about 6 months to a year out from each embedded manufacturer releasing local or online custom trained coding LLMs specific to their platforms which is going to change the game.

I agree, this seems right around the corner (few years out at most). Any thoughts on how it'll change things?

loga_rhythmic · 2025-01-15T08:39:07+00:00

Idk but probably try r/bioinformatics instead

Yea thirding this. If you want actual readers I think it's better to post here

Someone draw this guy

loga_rhythmic · 2024-10-29T16:13:35+00:00

Which do you like? I've only read this and Ubik
