I studied existentialism yesterday. I don't want topics that require a huge amount of time; it's more about broadening my knowledge base, not becoming an expert, haha.

I’m really curious on the process of setting up a personal curriculum. I have two very different topics I’d like to learn in tandem but I’m a bit unsure on where to start or how to merge them together in a cohesive curriculum 🤔

I’ve started gathering resources for my topics — the subjects I’m wanting to learn more about is Microbiology / Virology (my main topic) and Ancient Greek Mythology / Sciences.

Is anyone studying the same? Does anyone have any good starting points on where I can begin?

i’ve been trying to stick to a personal curriculum just so i don’t stop acquiring knowledge even when life gets busy.
if this is something you’re into and have one of your own, would you mind sharing your curriculum & process?

Hello All,

I am looking to identify common problems people face and solutions they have come up with for studying with youtube courses.

I myself get excited and started on a course but overtime that excitement dies and lack of accountability means my list of incomplete courses keeps growing.

What are some other challenges do you face with youtube courses and have you found something that works?

Hi

If you are remotely interested in deep diving how differently quantum computers work compared to our transistor-based and also the algebra behind in a fully interactive way that teach computer science from scratch, oh boy this is for you. I am the Dev behind Quantum Odyssey (AMA! I love taking qs) - worked on it for about 10 years (3+ during PhD, the visual method I developed ended up being my thesis, it is a complete Hilbert space visualizer), the goal was to make a super immersive space for anyone to learn quantum computing through zachlike (open-ended) logic puzzles and compete on leaderboards and lots of community made content on finding the most optimal quantum algorithms. The game has a unique set of visuals capable to represent any sort of quantum dynamics for any number of qubits and this is pretty much what makes it now possible for anybody 12yo+ to actually learn quantum logic without having to worry at all about the mathematics behind.

This is a game super different than what you'd normally expect in a programming/ logic puzzle game, so try it with an open mind.

Stuff you'll play & learn a ton about

• Boolean Logic – bits, operators (NAND, OR, XOR, AND…), and classical arithmetic (adders). Learn how these can combine to build anything classical. You will learn to port these to a quantum computer.
• Quantum Logic – qubits, the math behind them (linear algebra, SU(2), complex numbers), all Turing-complete gates (beyond Clifford set), and make tensors to evolve systems. Freely combine or create your own gates to build anything you can imagine using polar or complex numbers.
• Quantum Phenomena – storing and retrieving information in the X, Y, Z bases; superposition (pure and mixed states), interference, entanglement, the no-cloning rule, reversibility, and how the measurement basis changes what you see.
• Core Quantum Tricks – phase kickback, amplitude amplification, storing information in phase and retrieving it through interference, build custom gates and tensors, and define any entanglement scenario. (Control logic is handled separately from other gates.)
• Famous Quantum Algorithms – explore Deutsch–Jozsa, Grover’s search, quantum Fourier transforms, Bernstein–Vazirani, and more.
• Build & See Quantum Algorithms in Action – instead of just writing/ reading equations, make & watch algorithms unfold step by step so they become clear, visual, and unforgettable. Quantum Odyssey is built to grow into a full universal quantum computing learning platform. If a universal quantum computer can do it, we aim to bring it into the game, so your quantum journey never ends.

Nice to watch:

Truth depends on the decisions, and it is the truth that decides which decision should be taken. In my opinion, truth is decided by the decisions we take. For example, if there are ten subjects to choose from and I decide that only five of them are interesting to me, then, for the moment, the five subjects I chose are the truth for me. I influence the truth, making decisions because decisions determine the field in which the next decision must be made. Therefore, one could say that decisions define truth by limiting the scope of the next decisions that need to be taken. I call this ‘Decisional Perspectivism.’

Now it a obvious question but reason I ask this because Just the amount of time I heard this thing from teacher saying and I seen many student that are very good in understanding and solving problem in physics chem even better than topper but after 4 5 month it's seem they can only do basic problems . Which i feel/know is revision issue but why teacher don't pressure this as much as understanding like what the point if the effort you put to understanding become useless . I know you can regain understanding quicker but during exam either you know or you don't know .
