Join 📚 Edwin's Highlights
A batch of the best highlights from what Edwin's read, .
I was never a fast learner, but I was diligent and focused, and I had the intellectual grit to stick with a problem. So, by the second year at Yale, I was pretty competitive with the smarter kids in class, and by the third year I was outrunning them. It was my persistence more than anything. I stayed with it, and by the end of the term, I had the answers before most others in class.

You start by watching life and noticing the constant flow of people and situations that hit your stuff every day. How often do you find yourself trying to protect and defend that weak part of you? You feel like the world wants to get right at it. Every place you go there’s someone or something trying to disturb you, trying to get your goat. Why not let them have it? If you don’t really want it, then don’t protect it.

Enter Groq. 1
Groq was founded in 2016 by Jonathan Ross, who created Google’s first Tensor Processing Unit; Ross’s thesis was that chips should take their cue from software-defined networking: instead of specialized hardware for routing data, a software-defined network uses commodity hardware with a software layer to handle the complexity of routing. Indeed, Groq’s paper explaining their technology is entitled “A Software-defined Tensor Streaming Multiprocessor for Large-scale Machine Learning.”
