Free energy theory is so interesting to me - I think there are some very interesting, unexplored, overlaps with Boyd's OODA loop that are begging to be studied

It's really great to see this list growing (when I first heard of this last year it was only about 800 I think).

I'd love to hear from anyone at a remote company about the things you need to do differently to succeed. I have a hypothesis from my time in the military that you have to be much more disciplined around communication and mission when you're not all in the same place.

Yes, unfortunately you're right that they do the whole signposting and support better than we do.

There are bodies in the UK who are providing more support for example https://techvets.co/ and many of the large financial institutions in London have veterans programs these days, but we've got a long way to go in comparison!

Interviewee here. AMA, particularly if you're a veteran who wants to get into tech.

I'd love to hear from my betheren over the pond what the signalling and transition process is like for guys and gals leaving the US forces.
