@screwtape Thanks for the warning 🙂

@screwtape He's the most caring and sweet person I've ever met. I've dated a bunch of physicists and computer scientists and some of them were either weird or plein assholes. Others were super nice. And they all were giant nerds.

@screwtape Did you ever experience discrimination for what you studied? I assume you are a man?

@screwtape Fun fact - I am a physicist as well (finished my degree :D) and no guy ever complained so far. I just wanted to troll a bit.

@sycramore I guess uncle implies man ... I actually didn't submit my research MoE thesis (a long time ago). I was going to talk about The Strangest Man stereotypes, both Feynmans and how depending on subtopic stereotypes not being accurate ;p

@screwtape MoE = Master of Engineering? That is not physics :-) ?
What exactly is the Strangest Man? I didn't read Feynman stuff yet, sorry.

@sycramore I meant my bachelors was in physics. I thought it's normal to do an MoE and go on back to real physics. The Strangest Man was a biography of Dirac. Unrelatedly Feynman's sister was also a physicist.

@screwtape Ah I see, sorry. I'm from Germany, we normally don't switch Masters like that. Ok, some of us start with physics and then do niche stuff like computational sciences or biophysics or AI masters but most of us stay with one field for the rest of their studies.
Maybe I should read the Strangest Man?
I always felt like a stranger to most normal people and in the hacker scene all the dudes complained about me being female but the physicists are quite nice. And sooooo weird :D
I finally settled on quantum computing and my bf doesn't know yet what he wants to do. :D

@sycramore Dirac was quite a broken fellow, and that era of physics is meant to have been quite sexist. Interesting read but not fun.

I read more historical AI memos rather than qc lit. Play Arxiv vs Snarxiv with one of your papers?

@screwtape @sycramore
War Dirac ein Spinner?

@sycramore @screwtape
Strange indeed.

Surprisingly, ARD showed a surprisingly good movie about Feynman
