I'm sure it was intended as such, but the scene in “The Agency” where the CIA operative tries to infiltrate a PhD position in the physics department is basically what every regular candidate goes through: exploiting weakness, pushing, pulling and generally opulent use of elbow grease.

I'm at the mental sickness phase where I'm about to add a “Unit Tests” sheet to my Google sheet workbook where I provide assertions for my named functions.

Wondering what the likes of @yminsky.bsky.social would think of NextSilicon programmable HW when they get access to it...
