Science Transcription of the Bell Communications Research Colloquium Seminar 7 March 1986 J. F. At a seminar in the Bell Communications Research Colloquia Series, Dr. In order to make the information in the talk more widely available, the tape recording that was made of that talk was carefully transcribed. As a speaker in the Bell Communications Research Colloquium Series, Dr. Alan G. Dick is one of the all time greats in the mathematics and computer science arenas, as I'm sure the audience here does not need reminding.

On Deciding . . . Better 3.0 : How BIll Gates Takes Notes In 2003, Rob Howard described a meeting with Bill Gates The first thing I notice as the meeting starts is that Bill is left-handed. He also didn’t bring a computer in with him, but instead is taking notes on a yellow pad of paper. I had heard this before – Bill takes amazingly detailed notes during meetings.

You may have seen my reviews of books on the MIRI course list. I've been going for about ten weeks now. This post contains my notes about the experience thus far. Much of this may seem obvious, and would have seemed obvious if somebody had told me in advance. Part of the reason I'm posting this is because I don't know a lot of autodidacts, and I'm not sure how normal any of my experiences are. Pair up When I began my quest for more knowledge, I figured that in this modern era, a well-written textbook and an account on math.stackexchange would be enough to get me through anything. But not really. The problem is, most of the time that I get stuck, I get stuck on something incredibly stupid. "Dude. These are the things that eat my days.

When we practise meditation we need to have a comfortable seat and a good posture. The most important feature of the posture is to keep our back straight.

It is not necessary at first to sit cross-legged, but it is a good idea to become accustomed to sitting in the posture of Buddha Vairochana. If we cannot hold this posture we should sit in one which is as close to this as possible while remaining comfortable. The seven features of Vairochana’s posture are: (1) The legs are crossed in the vajra posture.
