Ciro Santilli @cirosantilli 37

Ciro Santilli's birth country.

An awesome country, with amazing people and natural resources, and without an evil government like China.

When visiting Brazilian cities coming from Europe, one of the things that shocks the most is the amount of motorcycles. It seems that the poorer the country, the less people's lives are worth, and the more motorcycles there are.

Another thing that was shocking is the amount of phone spam when you get a new SIM card, some legal and some likely illegal. Everyone is desperate for cash it seems on a poor country, and everyone fights hard for it.

This is a good initiative. Since the government is incapable of doing shit in this area, individuals have to do it themselves.

They even have a scholarship program...: www.bolsas.gobrasa.org/

This is how electronic circuits are normally prototyped!

Once you validate them like this, the next step is usually to move on to printed circuit boards for more reliable production setups.

Breadboards are a thing of beauty and wonder.

Most of them use titles from TV Tropes.

Ciro Santilli used to read books when he was younger (Harry Potter up to the 4th, Lord of the Rings), but once you are reading code, technical articles and news the whole day, you really just want to watch videos of people doing useless things on YouTube to rest, enough text.

Books are slow. No patience. Need faster immediate satisfaction.

Paradoxically Ciro feels like he's becoming a writer of sorts though, one semi independent section/answer/piece of knowledge at a time.

Writing is not just giving out information. It is re-feeling it.

Ciro Santilli's favorite religion. He does not believe fully in it, nor has he studied it besides through brief Wikipedia and Googling.

Ciro likes Buddhism because it feels like the least "metaphysical explanations to things you can't see" of the religions he knows.

Rather, it feels more like "a plausible theory of the mind" and highly compatible with physics.

Ciro also believes that there is a positive correlation between being a software engineer and liking Buddhist-like things, see also: the correlation between software engineers and Buddhism.

Very good! Goes up to the Dirac equation.

There were apparently some lecture videos at: web.archive.org/web/20030604194654/http://physicsstream.ucsd.edu/courses/spring2003/physics130a/ as pointed out by Matthew Heaney^[ref], .mov files can be found at: web.archive.org/web/*/http://physicsstream.ucsd.edu/courses/spring2003/physics130a/*, but we were yet unable to open them, related:

This theorem roughly states that states that for every quantum algorithm, once we reach a certain level of physical error rate small enough (where small enough is algorithm dependant), then we can perfectly error correct.

This algorithm provides the conceptual division between noisy intermediate-scale quantum era and post-NISQ.
