Ciro is looking for:

The initial incentive for the creators is to make them famous and allow them to get more fulfilling jobs more easily, although Ciro also wants to add money transfer mechanisms to it later on.

We can't rely on teachers writing materials, because they simply don't have enough incentive: publication count is all that matters to their careers. The students however, are desperate to prove themselves to the world, and becoming famous for amazing educational content is something that some of them might want to spend their times on, besides grinding for useless grade.

Integrating multiple omics, comes quite close to whole cell simulation.

It is harder to measure the impact of nonprofits than of for-profits, since you can't just look at their bank balances.

This is one fundamental difficulty of nonprofit work, how to prove that you deserve the investments and not someone else.

Sets both a Dirichlet boundary condition and a Neumann boundary condition for a single part of the boundary.

Can be used for hyperbolic partial differential equations.

We understand intuitively that this imposes stricter requirements on solutions, which makes it easier to guarantee uniqueness, but also harder to have existence. TODO intuitively why hyperbolic need this extra level of restriction.

Analogous to a linear form, a bilinear form is a Bilinear map where the image is the underlying field of the vector space, e.g. ${\mathbb{R}}^n\times {\mathbb{R}}^m\to \mathbb{R}$.

Some definitions require both of the input spaces to be the same, e.g. ${\mathbb{R}}^n\times {\mathbb{R}}^n\to \mathbb{R}$, but it doesn't make much different in general.

The most important example of a bilinear form is the dot product. It is only defined if both the input spaces are the same.

Since DNA is the centerpiece of life, Ciro Santilli is extremely excited about DNA-related technologies, see also: molecular biology technologies.

TODO examples:

youtu.be/Ca7c5B7Js18?t=803 compares Lagrangian mechanics equation vs the direct x/y coordinate equation.

Name origin: likely because it "determines" if a matrix is invertible or not, as a matrix is invertible iff determinant is not zero.

Paraprasing a friend of Ciro Santilli:

Luckily, early teens Ciro Santilli was partly protected from this by Ciro Santilli's cheapness.

But Ciro distinctly remembers one day in his early teens that he couldn't sleep very well, and he got up, and the was decided that he would become the greatest Magic: The Gathering player who ever lived. Can you imagine the incredible loss that this would have been to humankind? And talk about the incredible lack of development opportunity present in poor countries, related:
