Figured it would be good to have my PhD thesis pinned here, as it was on twitter :)
If you’re interested in adiabatic dynamics and counterdiabatic driving + optimal control, please give it a read :))

Come on in, sit down, pull up a chair. If you have followup questions, feel free to ask me or @ankhmorporkcity.watch, we're always happy to help.

Today we get the computer scientists' view on the transition into fault-tolerance.
There will indeed be a whole lot of classical computing involved in getting early fault-tolerance running, and the better it is, the more quantum we can use.

The narrative of exceptional Ukrainian resilience is one of the most harmful tropes I’ve seen during this war.
Yes, we refuse to give up. Yes, we have picnics in -15°C. Yes, we keep living, drinking coffee, and even laughing occasionally, but all of this stems from a lack of choice.

❗️Poland says Russia carried out a cyberattack on its energy sector.
In late December, the country nearly lost power, but the attack was successfully repelled.
Poland’s minister described the attack as “digital tanks” that are already here.

Remember Symbolica, that ML company that suddenly hired and then just as quickly fired a bunch of category theorists?
Well, I've looked at the docs for their newest library claiming to do 'typed agents', and it's complete slop, bordering on comical levels of misunderstanding of what a type is.

(iii) That the Russians are still completely delusional about the greatness of their military and economic power.

Russia just said the quiet part out loud.
Russia’s ambassador to the UK, Andrey Kelin, admitted there is no “deal” to be made with Ukraine — only an agreement on its surrender.
That single sentence destroys years of Kremlin talk about “peace” and “negotiations.”👇

I find that, at work, I seek out both strong professionalism (i.e. a clear set of goals and behaviours beneficial to the outcomes of their job, which each person around me can define, explain and generally engage in) as well as a strong component of socialisation and, cautiously, community-building.
