The Nobel Prize of computer software or hardware!

More like a "lifetime achievement" though, rather than the Nobel Prize, which tends to be for more specific achievements.

A waste of time like the rest of the knowledge olympiads.

To be fair, this is one of the least worse ones.

Their system is quite good actually. Not as good as a GitHub repo with all the tests made explicit. But still pretty good.

Quantum superposition is really weird because it is fundamentally different than "either definite state but I don't know which", because the superposition state leads to different measurements than the non-superposition state.

Examples:

If your kids are about to starve, fine, do it.

But otherwise, Ciro Santilli will not, ever, spend his time drilling programmer competition problems to join a company, life is too short for that.

Life is too short for that. Companies must either notice that you can make amazing open source software projects or contributions, and hire you for that, or they must fuck off.

Companies must either notice that you can make amazing projects or contributions, and hire you for that, or they must fuck off.

And the articles that really matter:

Web of Stories contains amazing interviews with many (mostly American) winners.

See Surely You're Joking, Mr. Feynman chapter Alfred Nobel's Other Mistake's amazing comments about the Nobel Prize.

TODO who is the digital switch person he mentions?

Codon usage bias refers to the phenomenon where certain codons (sequences of three nucleotides in mRNA that specify an amino acid) are used more frequently than others in the coding sequences of an organism's genome. While most amino acids can be encoded by multiple codons (due to the redundancy of the genetic code), different organisms— and sometimes different genes within the same organism— exhibit preferences for specific codons.

Some views:

As of my last knowledge update in October 2023, there is no widely recognized individual, concept, or entity named "Nadia Ghazzali." It's possible that it could refer to a less well-known figure, a fictional character, or something that has emerged after that date.

"Naive Set Theory" is a book written by the mathematician Paul R. Halmos, first published in 1960. The book serves as an introduction to set theory, which is a fundamental area of mathematics that deals with the concept of sets, or collections of objects. Halmos presents the material in a clear and accessible way, making it suitable for students and readers who may not have a deep background in mathematics.

The Namie-Odaka Nuclear Power Plant is an unfinished nuclear power plant located in Namie and Odaka, in Fukushima Prefecture, Japan. The plant was originally planned to consist of multiple reactors, but construction was halted following the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster in March 2011, which was triggered by a massive earthquake and tsunami. The disaster raised significant concerns about nuclear safety and led to a reevaluation of nuclear power policies in Japan.

Nanocomposite hydrogels are a class of materials that combine the properties of hydrogels and nanomaterials. Hydrogels are three-dimensional networks of hydrophilic polymers that can absorb a significant amount of water while maintaining their structure. They are known for their biocompatibility, flexibility, and ability to mimic biological tissues, making them useful in biomedical applications, such as drug delivery, tissue engineering, and wound healing.

Woo-Lam refers to a combination of two distinct systems in traditional Chinese medicine and health practices: "woo," which might relate to various forms of holistic healing or wellness approaches, and "lam," a reference that might connect to specific techniques or philosophies within those practices, including martial arts like Tai Chi or Qigong. However, without additional context, "Woo-Lam" could refer to different specific concepts or practices, such as particular schools of thought, specific health treatments, or cultural practices.

The Nano Guitar is a miniature guitar created by researchers and engineers that is notable for its extremely small size. Specifically, it is often described as being only a few micrometers long—about the size of a human cell. The first Nano Guitar was created by a team led by researchers at Cornell University and was made using advanced nanotechnology techniques.
