This was also another great testimony to the connections between music, math, and computing. If you aren’t on the ground, you can’t see how the ideas and concepts emerge and how the flow of insight begins. It’s hard to know now if they will be successful, of course, but they could well be on our agenda when we return for our next tour in August. We also discussed if optical computing has any implications for quantum computing in the future. The conversation moved between music and computing, people we know in the area, and a wide range of general networking. When electricity moves too slowly this might be a valuable thing for AI and machine learning. She arrived in the area from Boston three weeks ago to head the HR function for a startup that is focused on optical computing (Round B funding in hand). A fourth person joined us in the box and, at intermission, we struck up a conversation. This was brought home to me when I was out to the San Francisco Symphony yesterday afternoon with my son and his wife, both research scientists working for startups in the area.
Last year on an earlier venture here, one of the speakers shared an interesting tidbit with the group: In the Valley, he said, “there are only two degrees of separation… everyone knows everyone else.” This helps to explain how ideas, resources, and funding flow with Darwinian efficiency, and with surprising speed. Two degrees of separation: A Longitudinal Study of Actual and Perceived Extended International Contact. A summary from an earlier event is always an interesting review of what we do. Tellingly, we were oversold for the week. Sara is Kate's friend they work together and play together.
Incubators, accelerators, VC firms, startups, and mature companies that fight their own cultures to keep innovation alive are all part of the experience. Kate is a young professional woman, who leads an ordinary, simple life and is happily married to Peter.
Two contrasting souls, Ember and Rime, are separated by an enigmatic force, and must use their respective powers to progress through a spectacular world of fantasy and adventure. The focus for the event is to provide senior IT leaders with an on-the-ground immersion experience related to innovation: what it is, how it works, and how the Silicon Valley ecosystem is unique in terms that are hard to comprehend from an outside perspective. Degrees of Separation is a 2D puzzle-adventure game that requires players to harness the elements of heat and cold to succeed. In this episode, Ash was separated from his Pikachu, due to a battle against Team Rocket.This episode was also where Ash catches his Starly using his Aipom.Also the first episode where meets Paul, who when asked if he saw a Pikachu, rudely commented back and asked for a battle with Ash. I’m very much looking forward to hosting Novarica’s “Silicon Valley Innovation Tour” in San Francisco this week. Two Degrees of Seperation was the second episode of the Diamond and Pearl series.
