| | Merging quantum mechanics and gravity is a famously hard physics problem. Explaining why merging quantum mechanics and gravity is hard is, in turn, a very hard science communication problem. The more popular descriptions tend to lead to misunderstandings, and I've posted many times over the years to chip away at those misunderstandings. Merging quantum mechanics...

| | The next wave of extremely powerful and specialized AI models is coming, and it will likely revolutionize software engineering as we know it. As developers, we need to get the skills to surf the wave and keep our jobs. As with every technological breakthrough, AI will create new jobs and destroy others. In this article, I will focus on how you can keep your job in this new world dominated by AI. My focus is on software engineering jobs, but most of the principles I mentioned also apply to other professions.

| | These days, I often need to remind myself that, as an undergrad, grad student, postdoc, or professor, I've now been doing quantum computing research for a quarter-century---i.e., well over half of the subject's existence. As a direct result, when I feel completely jaded about a new development in QC, it might actually be exciting. When...

| This is a short summary of some of the terminology used in machine learning, with an emphasis on neural networks. I've put it together primarily to help my own understanding, phrasing it largely in non-mathematical terms. As such it may be of use to others who come from more of a programming than a mathematical background.
