I work in instrumentation and I use quantum intuition a lot! Useful for me to motivate/provide a foundation to things like interferometry or waveguide mode shapes - you can do those classically but sometimes won't + it's useful to have the quantum side to drive home its importance

"i couldn't find a speeder i really liked, with the open cockpit and the right speed capabilities". like they so desperately wanted a second thing other than open cockpit and just finished the sentence the way i finish sentences in paper introductions

my one thought is would there be any tricks to get a faster inversion? I bet a lot of conventional things (ode solving for example) would be oom faster if that were the case

Also matrix multiplication is intensely symmetric imo, just not in the literal mechanics of how you'd do it by hand

This is such an incoherent take? AI compute is bad because matmuls aren't commutative? If they were, would it be worth it? I don't think this even has its own internal logic

oh I also got better at this over time, but not linearly - probably had my most work centric time ever this past summer
