‘Love Is The One Thing That We’re Capable Of Perceiving That Transcends Dimensions Of Time And Space.’

alright! setup's all done. studyblr discord assembled! join for motivation, tip sharing, etc etc!

also for a lot of photos of my cat. we'll also do game nights, study sessions, note circles, all that fun stuff.

One or two years ago I got a spam email with these two sentences in them and they’ve been a part of my vocabulary ever since

Don't tell my dad or brother! (They're both electrical engineers.)

Listen to me babe. Failure is normal and part of the process. If you never fail, you're not making true progress. You're just regurgitating prior process.

I don't know why society is so obsessed with perfectionism and never making a mistake ever, but that's not how it works. You're going to forget to upload an assignment. You're going to miserably fail a test. You're going to get a speeding ticket. You're going to make your little sister sad. You're going to kill some plants. You're going to get that quiz back you were so confident about and realize that you got 1 question right. Those moments are when true learning take place instead of memorization and regurgitation.

This is why in math they make you show all your work and on science and reading they made you explain all your answers and choices with a paragraph. It highlights your thought process so you can analyze where you were right and where you were wrong. And it's ok to be wrong! No one is ever right all the time.

Don't let anyone shame you for being bad at something. Remember that they had to learn to walk and chew and talk and write and read and they didn't succeed the first few times in any of that. We should be building people up and acknowledging their faults as a way to learn and grow, not as a source of shame and despair.

Experimental brain-like computing system more accurate with custom algorithm

An experimental computing system physically modeled after the biological brain “learned” to identify handwritten numbers with an overall acc

With the type of co-design used in this study — hardware and software developed in tandem — nanowire networks may ultimately serve a complementary role alongside silicon-based electronic devices. Brain-like memory and processing embedded in physical systems capable of continuous adapting and learning may be particularly well-suited to so-called “edge computing,” which processes complex data on the spot without requiring communication with far-off servers.

Limits for quantum computers: Perfect clocks are impossible

There are different ideas about how quantum computers could be built. But they all have one thing in common: you use a quantum physical syst

The research team was able to show that since no clock has an infinite amount of energy available (or generates an infinite amount of entropy), it can never have perfect resolution and perfect precision at the same time. This sets fundamental limits to the possibilities of quantum computers.
