@carlysagan I went back to college inspired by the possibility of dramatically increased computing power to improve physical simulations, ultimately completing a triple-major in CS, physics, and statistics. Afterward I haven’t been lucky enough to do that kind of work, but I know a fair bit about doing physics on a computer, and the statistical underpinnings of ML. From my perspective, this prize is a betrayal of everything that made the Nobel prize worth aspiring to.
