About me
Ronan is a caffeine-dependent life-form from Planet Earth who wants to be a Jedi Knight of Artificial Intelligence, Immortality, Quantum Physics, and Cloud Computing.
My story
A man of mystery and power, whose power is exceeded only by his mystery. By trade and by temperament he's a Quantum Physicist, Transhumanist, Systems Architect, Unix Administrator, and an enthusiastic tinkerer in Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, and DIY gadgetry.
He believes the universe has a fairly high probability of being a simulation — but he's real, and hopefully some of his readers are too.
What I care about
Quantum Physics
Trying to make sense of the universe, one wavefunction at a time.
Transhumanism & Immortality
Thinking seriously about where technology and biology are headed.
Artificial Intelligence & Machine Learning
Building, breaking, and thinking about intelligent systems.
Systems Architecture & Unix
Decades of keeping servers, networks, and infrastructure running.
Cloud Computing
Designing and running systems that live in other people's data centers.
DIY Gadgets
If it can be taken apart, automated, or hacked together, count him in.
Famous quotes
“In a Unix Universe, God is known by a four letter word called root. To err is human… to really foul up requires you to be root… err… god.”
