Interesting that 3 names I recognized as physicists from stat mech adjacent fields. They continue to punch above their expectations (as sampled by general dismissal of physicists in AI/ML on HN and reddit).

Some of the best software engineers I know are ex-physics PhDs… it’s one of those “can’t fake it” skillsets that also happens to have high transferability to ML/AI fields. On the other hand, I snuck through the CS major without ever multiplying a matrix.

		> I snuck through the CS major without ever multiplying a matrix I didn't, but only because I became personally interested in AI/ML at some point, so I actually had to learn it myself. As an AI practitioner, I still couldn't explain eigenvectors or singular-value decomposition to you though.

		Haha, nice bio. Seeing that font on HN is quite a shock.

Do people not like physicists?
