A busy week in the business and science of physics (with APS and GTC)
Much like last week's post being cut short due to the Supercomputing Asia 2025 conference, tis week myself and some collaborators (including the brilliant Anastasia Marchenkova) are caught up with some other major events. The major of which are the American Physical Society (care of the infamous and incredible APS Meeting) being held in Anaheim, and Nvidia's GTC being held in Silicon Valley.
APS will be interesting for the discussion around Microsoft's current media cycle for the Majorana project. I expect there will be standing room only for the talk there. And as for GTC, I'm living vicariously through Anastasia for that one, who is invited to one of the private Q&A sessions with Jensen Huang. There's a few other things, but the cadence is pretty much the same, above and beyond meetings related to work, and our various alumni groups (be it industry or vocation), it's a good chance to keep digging into the lived experiences of the people we're hoping to serve here with OpenQase.
And speaking of which, I've been finding time in what I call "the Qantas WeWork", aka the airport lounge that's a strangely productive place to work between flights, to apply the feedback from everyone checking out the alpha and getting involved. Thank you. Here's the latest build on GitHub: https://github.com/ddri/openqase
