Feynman's blackboard at time of his death: What I cannot create I do not understand.
From 10 -> 14 years old I played video games instead of olympiads.
My League was okay, peaking diamond 5. I was better at shooters,
peaking #5-7 on CoD's global leaderboards in SnD for 4 months, and
and Global Elite in CS:GO. I started training to go professional
with MLG and ESEA, but then got interested in programming...
From 14 -> 24 years old I focused on building. During high school
I started interning and winning multiple hackathons. During college
I studied mathematics, had various internships, and founded a hacker
club at school. One of the offers was a product based one with
Mr. Musk that was cancelled in order to learn more about cryptography
at Hacker School, where I wrote a BitTorrent client and crypto stack.
After college I worked on critical infrastructure for the largest
crypto company: brownfielding a cloud compiler and greenfielding a
distributed provisioning system for 10k engineers, which saved $XMM/year.
From 24 -> ??, I am narrowing my focus on "AGI" with ai infrastructure
until capabilities like swe-bench/ARC are reached. By day, I'm building
two compilers: the first one is din: C89 -> RV32I. It will compile
2kloc/10kloc operating systems and beat `gcc -O1` on dhrystone and
embench. The second one is nayru: ONNX -> CUDA/TT. By night, I'm
becoming an informed relative of the theoretician by learning more
about universal intelligence, the manifold hypothesis, and tensor programs.
1. I want to work on cool tech.
2. I assume the local mininum.
3. I want to have fun.
The future is bright,
