github, youtube posts, for my hobby have small visibility. Doesn't matter. I enjoy the project for fun of creating and building.

Open source hybrid piano. Been a very part-time hobby for several years.

I put this on the back of my phone after completing my PhD.

"in the beginner's mind there are many possibilities, but in the expert's there are few" - Shunryu Suzuki

Great quotes!

I had an EE graduate degree (systems, dsp, control...) and returned to school for a physical chemistry graduate degree. Initially was nervous about my first QM class but as Hamming noted so much of the math is similar.

And something else for any future intelligent species:

Today, fossils are dug up and flown around the world to museums etc. We publish but if that storage doesn't last or is undecipherable, future civilizations might have an interesting adventure trying to reconstruct the world of 100's of millions of years before our time.

I wonder if there has been any consideration of this or attempts at placing long-lived simple markings to guide?

Its interesting to see the influence of Debussy through time. For example the wonderful work of Bill Evans.

This might be a stupid question, but, airplanes are computerized, can they be programmed such-that they simply won't fly into buildings, cities, restricted airspace, etc..

My team at work. We are racing to an important deadline. Everyone is working well together. Its just fun.

And given the possibility some interviewers experiencing their own imposter syndrome, around being qualified to assess qualifications, perhaps that could explain some of the questions too.

"naming is the origin of all particular things" - Tao Te Ching.

That quote, first page, stopped me in my tracks for a long time. I often recall it when I'm tempted by the naming (categorization, abstracting, ...) of some X imagining I understand more about it than I actually do. Similar to as you note, I think.

Yeah, my first exited to $0 as well.

With you there. My '68 Camaro, small-block, and requisite Muncie 4-speed. Can't imagine it any other way.

Yeah, back then we would spend massive amount of time hanging around with friends, with few distractions. Cruising was popular, confined to one block, and lots of people, because if you strayed from those physical locations, there was little way to reconnect with the group.

I don't know how it is today.
