@lemire How do you reconcile the fact that you believe this, yet have dedicated a significant part of your life to academia?

I’m happy to share that I’m starting a new position as Associate Professor in High Performance Computing at University of Leicester!

@lemire How about programming, do you use AI assistance? How much?
