Welcome to the cool club chief!
From a Turbin3 student to a graduate!
What a journey! Lots of learning and assignments, Mehnπ
Really gonna miss the calls, seeing @umacanadas face, and collaborating with some amazing people.
Built something I'm really proud of with my teammate @Haileyesus_be too!
Big thanks to @solanaturbine and our peak instructors, @qubitn8 , @umacanadas , @Princeadxisrael , @shrinathx , @me256ow and @Moses7054 . And a special thanks to @toby_solutions , who encouraged me to start this journey in the first place.
I'll be sharing more about my experience and what we built, and things I learned over the next few days. Looking forward to building and contributing more to the @solana and wider Web3 ecosystem.

That idea you have been thinking about wonβt tell you what it can become until you give it a chance.
It doesnβt have to begin perfectly. Start small, test it, learn from the process, and improve as you go. Building teaches lessons that planning alone never can.
Ideas grow when you give them action.
Maybe this is the week you finally begin.
Happy New week π

By this time next year I'm gonna make sure that I am amazed by how much I have achieved in tech this 2023.
I'll be coming back to this tweet soon.
I wish the same for y'all as well.

Navier Stokesβ? Thatβs like Fields medal level stuff.
Ex-OpenAI researcher Scott Aaronson explains how AI is breaking mathematical limits once thought impossible, including a 50-year barrier to multiplying numbers:
"A month ago we saw a solution of the Navier-Stokes problem, one of the seven millennium problems. If water were an infinitely divisible substance, just following the laws of classical physics, in finite time some of the water would get accelerated to an infinite speed."
"Thereβs now a way to multiply two n-digit integers in time that is less than n log n, which had stood as a barrier for half a century. Many of us believed that was gonna be the ultimate limit. Now we know itβs not."
"Thereβs a better algorithm for the Fourier transform. Your phone, all your electronics are using it constantly. We just learned that what we thought was the limit is not the limit."

people lack nuance with the word βunderstandingβ β there are multiple resolutions / zoom levels and itβs normal that mathematicians donβt have 100% internalized understanding of every theorem loaded because nobody does
for instance i know that if i call sorted(scores), i get the scores back in order. one level down i understand how it builds sorted runs and merges them. further down iβm working through the invariants that prove why this produces a sorted result without losing or duplicating anything. i donβt need all of that loaded to build a leaderboard, i need to understand the guarantee iβm using and when it applies
same with a theorem β they need to understand what it lets them conclude and the conditions where it applies. they donβt need to understand every dependency to its core, they donβt need to rederive everything, they can rely on other people having checked it and go into the proof when they need to
engineering would not work if everybody forced full resolution for everything. the resolution you need depends on what youβre trying to do, and that can change when something breaks
the reason why we want our experts to understand stuff deeply is because we put them in situations where they need to move up and down the scales / zoom levels of magnification and debug stuff and diagnose which level the problem is at, or go 5 levels deep to find the cause. that doesnβt mean they need to keep all 5 levels fully loaded every time they use the system
just trying to reverse engineer how a mathematician works
like I wasn't aware they actually did that; take a well known theorem and then obsessively apply it to your own work, without really understanding the underlying proofs of that theorem
so, in a way, every mathematician is working on their own slice of the mathematical space, which is shaped by the theorems they are familiar with. and then human intuition kicks in and they start noticing patterns in that space, which allows them to prove something new
so the process of aggregating knowledge could be described as kind of a random search on top of a space you're familiar with. and the raw symbolic knowledge loop is, thus, just: we accumulate a book of theorems (memory), we search the proof for new theorems on top of it (compute), then we drop the proofs, put the new theorems in context, and go solve something else. then loop

The @releaf person must be very confused as to what is happening right now.
Nigerian-American founders Ikenna Nzewi and Uzoma Ayogu are transforming palm oil processing through @Releaf. Their innovative technology has made processing dramatically more efficient, helping farmers get more from their harvests and attracting more than $10 million in investment. A powerful story of innovation, entrepreneurship, and #AmericanExcellence in action.

Favor in this photo was my first team manager when I worked at Groove entertainment as a mid-level frontend Engineer.
He saw my work at Million in our interview and he hired me on the spot back then. He changed my life cos heβs like unbelievably cracked bro and I learned a lot of stuff from him that made me work on global stages and give several talks.
I messaged him yesterday on this and he was like: βYeah, I know Shalomβ.
Itβs really a small world out there.
1) I am a proud father today.
The young woman behind Lagos Life, the phenomenal game that pulled in over 2 million players in its first days, started her tech journey in our nondescript training room in Aba, Abia
Her name is Shalom. This is her story & ours.
