Being a child prodigy, uh, as it has been mentioned, and I'm kind of glad that's stopped being the number one thing that's been said. But it's funny because being a child that does a lot in food um, is very different than being a child that does a lot in music or art. Um, because there are literal age restrictions on your potential to succeed.
Hardware is massively parallel. You've got tens of billions, hundreds of billions of transistors on your chip, and it takes maybe 100 clock cycles to get from one side of the chip to the other. You can't do a sequential computation involving transistors on both sides of the chip. The hardware is just fundamentally parallel, and you have to take advantage of that.
