It is so important to 1. stand on your own two feet 2. keep standing on your own two feet (as my mom & dad raised me)

I dedicate all of my work and everything good I have done and will ever do to my parents, who are intelligent, wise, funny, honest and hard-working people that have taught me, by example, to pay serious attention to the details in everything I do. I have always done all of my work, all by myself. My work is my power and I, as I always have done, take pride in it.

"People always come up to me and ask me, how am I so patient with my students and people I'm managing and I tell them, I learned it by having to be patient with my parents." & "Stop chasing small fry projects in ML/AI, think bigger (in terms of ML/AL math/cs etc)." - my brother

"this instrument/measurement tool (in his office) is made by a small company in Germany, and they are so good, that no company could compete with them or buy them out bc they could not re-create that machine to this day." - my eye doctor i.e. be so good that they can't 1. compete with you 2. buy you out -> all because the focus is on patients, helping patients.

(Will update this with the actual picture but ...) A picture of my late-grandfather, dressed up as he usually would, who passed away in the mid-90s. Back then, you would get your blood glucose reading once a month and your doctor would review it with you, but that one reading was a month old. How things have changed in science in such, one could argue, a short amount of time, is what makes and keeps me optimistic.

Another story. My brother's friend from hs mastered ... and I mean, mastered, spanish on duolingo (during med school too), because he anticipated having patients who would speak spanish.

I really & truly believe, that the greatest achievement anyone can achieve, anywhere in the world, is not money or followers etc., but if someone else can say about that person "i trust my life with this person." (my brother has said this about one of his friends in grad school) (i.e. they have good judgement & they have good character, they're honest, when no one is looking they do the right thing etc.)" and that could be some very poor person somewhere in the world, doesn't matter.

"they said i was so finished, i told 'em its show business" - lupe fiasco <3

"everything i'm not, made me everything i am - old kanye (album: "graduation")

"a vector doesn't care where it starts β€” only that it has a direction and refuses to stop; setbacks just change the arrow, never the fact that it's still moving."

Fun facts about me: Zayn Malik's country album, from and since 2024, is my de facto national anthem. Lina Khan (Former FTC Chair), Riz Ahmed, Arooj Aftab (Grammy-winner), Hasan Minhaj, Mehdi Hasan etc. -> Are my North Stars in our current crazy times, idc what a lot of ppl are doing or what they have to say, I'm going to be myopic right back with who i pay attention to, on and with purpose, right back, absolutely on purpose.

I'll go even farther: someone, with a microphone or w/e, talking about AI, can take advantage of you if you are not still ACTIVELY programming. I'll listen, sure, but I don't take you too seriously if you're not writing actual code. FYI - and a lot of people who are talking about guardrails for AI, are actually writing code, but some are horrible at debating/presenting/organizing their thoughts/ideas properly, which is whole another thing all together & that is why "the hottest new programming language is English." Even further -> you don't want somebody's armchair guess about AI to become YOUR target, right? So it matters! see goodhart's law & having skin in the game -> the guess should not be the target.
