Debugging Epohul

I understand that formal education isn't the best here. But one has to take responsibility of teaching themselves. It could be by reading books, building things or anything that could teach them. like that quote the ultimate sign of intelligence is getting what you want from life. For me personally when I was 18, I saw that I didn't like how I thought about things and deciding to changing it. I started reading and made it my goal. I see progress and new perspective too ig. Anyway learning should be continuous. "Life is like error correction. The moment correction stops you die" I heard it today. (I'll edit it after I reply the other questions)

I know it's you

I recommend the form tho. very productive

we like robi (and odit it's not sponsored or is it?)

soo i had a little bit of technical difficulty so i don't see the text that was send at first but yeah i changed the link and i can see it

sma? https://sma.robi.work/b/dNaPQS__Pr9G

introducing my sister

the book was also amazing it's crazy how the author was a software engineer and wrote this magnificent book(his other books are in my list)

as a girl, education gives you choices. I believe choice is the most important thing to have. your whole life depends on it. the system isn't made for you, and being incompetent on top of that is a slap to your future self. (it's really disappointing to have the access generations of women didn't have and not use it to your advantage.)

Ewin Tang (born 2000) is a computer scientist at the University of California, Berkeley. She was named as one of 2019 Science Forbes 30 Under 30 for her work developing classical algorithms which matched the performance of the fastest known quantum algorithms, done as an undergraduate under the supervision of Scott Aaronson. (she's so inspiring. I wish to read and understand her work someday) Link

I was checking to see this years winning projects. unfortunately it has been postponed to august because of the war. (I actually miss it so much. It was the first time I felt like I belonged in the qc space...maybe next year🤞)

I was checking to see 2026

"if quantum computers start breaking cryptography a few years from now, don’t you dare come to this blog and tell me that I failed to warn you. This post is your warning. Please start switching to quantum-resistant encryption, and urge your company or organization or blockchain or standards body to do the same."

i love clingy cats

a little progress on this topic: https://zxscope.vercel.app built a site to clearly see how circuits in qasm format can be optimized and have their T-count reduced. what this does: - take a qasm circuit as input - show the zx diagram of the circuit, then after applying rewrite rules, produce an equivalent circuit with less T-count - convert the reduced diagram back into qasm format it mainly uses the PyZX library for the logic. (this is important because applying T gates, which are non-clifford gates, is expensive. zx calculus helps find an equivalent circuit without doing matrix operations, which makes it fast.) #zx

Barbara Liskov is credited with formalizing and inventing the concept of abstract data types (ADTs) and data abstraction in the early 1970s. https://youtu.be/T9CGjbPZeaM?si=NOfB2Vhdr8wi1FY3 (tbh I thought data abstraction was one of those concepts that was always there. she's really amazing.)
