    • in bulgaria
    • working on a star related project
    • alone for 2w, willing and able to focus?
    • debugging psychology
      • when one is too nervous or emotional?
      • feeling of confusion when integration and rewiring are needed
        • autopoietic
    • thesis defense
      • three papers
        • two published in conferences
        • one in preprint online (with ragnar)
          • it's growing, but it should also shrink :)
          • maybe could merge three different definitions into one
        • line of research tldr follows :)
          • at least three people are working on it in the sense of being fascinated by it
          • the idea is to solve a class of classical algorithms of alignment
            • edit distance
            • optimality ~ minimizing the distance
            • faster than quadratic -- fastest algorithms are about linear
          • instead of looking for a good match, it focuses on removing all suboptimal matches
            • if an alignment does not have a match of a seed in front, you penalize it
    • dijkstra's algorithm
    • a star
