The longest path is the shortest and the shortest path is the longest. Learning is all about abstractions.
“In theory, there is no difference between theory and practice. But, in practice, there is.“

What I learned is that burning out isn’t just about work load, it’s about work load being greater than the motivation to do work.

The fundamental building blocks of all computing devices could be about to undergo a dramatic change that would allow faster, more efficient machines. Researchers at computer firm Hewlett Packard have shown off working devices built using memristors – often described as electronics’ missing link. These tiny devices were proposed 40 years ago but only fabricated in 2008. HP says it has now shown that they can be used to crunch data, meaning they could be used to build advanced chips. That means they could begin to replace transistors – the tiny switches used to build today’s chips. And, crucially, the unique properties of memristors would allow future chips to both store and process data in the same device.
