Well, let people know.

Yeah, coming to the Bay Area is nice.

Just writing things and, like, posting them in a way people can see them.

Just aggressively reaching out to people with, like, interesting comments.

Yeah, I think like you have to be very mindful of the fact that you have a very limited amount of time.

Like you're not an AI model.

So you have to...

kind of aggressively prioritize what you're going to spend your time reading.

Yeah, I think it's just much more important here, if you want to prioritize things correctly, to be, again, to be part of a community or to be getting input from a community or from people who have thought a lot and have a lot of experience about what is important and what is not.

Yeah.

Like this is true even in academic fields.

So if you want to do math research but you're not part of like a graduate program, you're not at a university where –

there are tons of people who do math research all day for many years, then you're not even going to know what are the open problems that I should be working on.

What is reasonable to attack?

What is not reasonable to attack?

What papers in this field contain important techniques?

You're just going to have no idea.

So it's very important to be plugged into that feed of information somehow.

But how did you know all this shit before being plugged in?

Because you weren't talking to anybody in Ankara.
