Beyond Software: The Reset India Needs

In conversation with Dr. L. Venkata Subramaniam, CEO of Qbit Force, he said, “We can be making a lot of DeepTech – quantum computers, semiconductors, advanced hardware. It’s just that we went on a trajectory of everyone becoming software engineers, everyone sitting in front of laptops doing certain things. I’m not saying that’s bad. All I’m saying is it was not necessary that 100% of Indians go and do that. There are many other things open out there…“

The landscape has still not changed.

You can see from the fact that the top ranks in JEE fill up computer science first. After admission, students in so called “lower” branches strive to “upgrade” their branch to computer science.

Students who still end up in “lower” branches, study computer science to ace the “tech” interviews. Electrical and mechanical, in my opinion, are probably more qualified to be referred to as “tech” than computer science today.

The world has grown beyond the two decades of software dominance. Though it is true that pay scale differs abnormally among these subjects, and it is justified too because your pay scale is largely determined by how much revenue your individual performance contributes to, and software is highly scalable, but it is also available as open source, and then there is AI.

Whereas, you still need competence to operate and establish open source hardware. The true winners at the end are going to be mathematicians, which very few even today realize.

Research is no longer a choice of desire, but essential if you want to survive in the long run. Complacency is no longer going to pay the bills. You actually have to be at the top of your game.

The bar to extraordinary achievement (and thus extraordinary pay) is rising every single day. India is a bit far behind, not because we lack the capability, we can actually catch up and go beyond very fast, but we are still running on colonial DNA, rather worse than back then I would argue, at a statistical scale.

And I think it boils down to quality of life.

If citizens feel happy about the public infrastructure available to them – if healthcare is affordable, policy implementations are robust, corruption is low, there is equity in society, etc. – there wouldn’t be so much fuss about salaries.

Beyond a certain point, money doesn’t equate to happiness, unless you still need to grind to feel respected and get access to high-end facilities.

A lot of drastic improvements can begin at the policy level. Solutions are there. Other countries have done it. Playbooks are available. Adopt the good things others have done.

We just have to take the decision to implement it.

🦠 #Consciousness – does it really need a #brain🧠?

The idea that consciousness arises exclusively in the human brain is increasingly being questioned in modern philosophy of mind and neuroscience.

Crackpot #physics theory of mine - On our trouble defining formally what an Observer is:

My hunch is that an observer is a selection of a partition of phase space (or maybe configuration space) in the set set of all valid partitions. For some notion of validity.

(Not) Coincidentally tied closely to how phi is computed in integrated information theory #IIT Which may provide a hint to how observers may relate to #consciousness via a functor between appropriate categories

Sensory overload isn't emotional fragility. It's an "Information Collapse" in the brain, a crisis of unintegrable data.
I used Integrated Information Theory (IIT) to explain why stimming/flapping is a rational defense and how it maintains the coherence of consciousness.

I'm looking around for material that would provide someone without a background in neuroscience some understanding of the debate about Integrated Information Theory and the study of consciousness.

I've read Tononi and Koch's 2015 "Consciousness: here, there, and everywhere?"
https://doi.org/10.1098/rstb.2014.0167

I was wondering what have been the most important critiques of this theory, and where the debate now stands.

Thanks for any suggestions you might have.
