This might someday be full of interesting posts about various topics. See my CV here.
Topics I’m interested in:
- Using knowledge to make the world a better place for everyone. Especially dealing with the climate and natural crisis, global inequality and poverty.
- Deep learing, AI, Machine learning, AutoDiff and Data Science in general.
- Programming, programming languages and thereunder functional programming and type theory.
- Mathematics which includes things like Category Theory, Topology, Statistics and generally anything logically structured.
- Physics - the fudamental nature of nature.
- Philosophy - what should we do and are we doing the right thing? What does really make sense?
I’m also an eager reader of the webcomics Existential Comics and SMBC - Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal.
Tech won’t save us, by itself, but it can soften the blow. To have a sustainable, regenerative future we need to realize that eternal growth is impossible and that everything has an intrisic value. For example a forest will only raise GDP and “create jobs” when it is cut down. We can have good lives without destroying our planet.
