AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers around a 13-year-old participant expressing frustration with responses that dismiss their questions as overly repetitive. They emphasize their desire to learn and engage meaningfully, rather than being treated condescendingly due to their age. Other participants respond by highlighting the importance of treating all members equally, regardless of age, and encourage a focus on intellect rather than age. There is a consensus on the value of the young participant's interest in their future, with some cautioning against sharing personal information like age online for safety reasons. The conversation underscores the balance between fostering a supportive learning environment and maintaining respectful communication among all forum members.

To all the people that answered my previous questions with a "Stop posting so much and get it already!'reply, I AM 13 YEARS OLD! Of course I'm not going to get everything that you guys tell me, so instead of waiting weeks for a new answer to my thread, I post a new similar one. So next time try not to be so disciplinary.Give me credit for not being on my space or something and actually doing something for my future...

So, you want us to treat you as a child then?

I thought you'd appreciate being treated as a person whose age is irrelevant and whose intellect is the only thing that matters... :wink:



I confess, for my own sake, I deliberately have a very short memory online. Five minutes after this post, I will have forgotten your age, and will treat you like any other member. This is deliberate, and for your benefit. (Unless you'd prefer that I read each one of your subsequent posts as if you are a child...)


P.S. It is great that you are interested in your future. I envy you. I wish I'd been interested in my future when I was 13. Heck, I wish I'd been interested in my future when I was 18... If I could back back now, I'd kick my own a$$.

Darn you and your scientific reasoning, all I ask is that you realize that I won't be able to grasp analogies as quickly as you guys.

Yes you do. We all have our blind spots. Your age does not single you out that way.
 
I believe it's inappropriate to give your age on the internet especially if you're a young kid. Please do not do so ever again.

Similar to the 2024 thread, here I start the 2025 thread. As always it is getting increasingly difficult to predict, so I will make a list based on other article predictions. You can also leave your prediction here. Here are the predictions of 2024 that did not make it: Peter Shor, David Deutsch and all the rest of the quantum computing community (various sources) Pablo Jarrillo Herrero, Allan McDonald and Rafi Bistritzer for magic angle in twisted graphene (various sources) Christoph...
Thread 'My experience as a hostage'
I believe it was the summer of 2001 that I made a trip to Peru for my work. I was a private contractor doing automation engineering and programming for various companies, including Frito Lay. Frito had purchased a snack food plant near Lima, Peru, and sent me down to oversee the upgrades to the systems and the startup. Peru was still suffering the ills of a recent civil war and I knew it was dicey, but the money was too good to pass up. It was a long trip to Lima; about 14 hours of airtime...
