Day of Productivity - 04/06/18
Its been a while since I’ve last updated. Mostly because I’ve been swamped with work and also I’ve been lacking motivation to actually do them... I’ve taken to staying at the university library (1st photo) until 10pm(ish) since it forces me to actually do work. I can’t sleep if there’s no bed.
I went to my first hackathon last week (the 2nd photo). I think it helped with my motivation, It lasted two days. The first day was just a meet and greet as well as setting up teams and stuff. The second day was when we did the whole coding part. My team made a website template that we can use to put up our portfolio on (such as other projects and CVs...). Its not online though as that actually cost money and its only a template.
It was definitely a more casual hackathon (or so they say.) and it did feel like it. It was really fun and I plan on signing up for more. Its a really good way to gain experience, network as well as gain more projects for my portfolio (to bulk up my CV)
Anyway, I have roughly 2 weeks left before my final exams for this trimester. So I really need to get my shit together.
ANY ADVICE FOR MY FIRST HACKATHON
my heart says yes, but my brain says “unqualified”.
On Saturday, about 100 librarians, academics, coders and socially minded "hactivists" showed up at Rice's Fondren Library in an effort to protect the federal data that Yeung and other scientists rely on to do their jobs. Many of them believe that data is threatened because some members of President Donald Trump's administration have downplayed the significance of climate change and have expressed skepticism that human activity plays a major role. "Librarians like to say, lots of copies make stuff safe," said Lisa Spiro, Fondren Library's director of digital scholarship services and one of the event organizers. Since January, these guerilla archiving events have popped up around the country to scrape federal agency websites, to upload data sets and documents to safe repositories, and to tell the public about the information. Kathy Weimer, head of the Kelly Center for Government Information, Data and Geospatial Services at Fondren Library, said that while recent political maneuvering has heightened the sense of urgency, protecting federal data is a natural extension of the mission of libraries around the country. The Rice event was aimed at surveying data from the Federal Election Commission and the Environmental Protection Agency's Office of Air and Radiation and the Office of Water.

Brasil enfrenta barreiras em competições internacionais de tecnologia
A crescente inclusão de jovens em competições internacionais de tecnologia, como hackathons e outras iniciativas inovadoras, tem sido um fenômeno notável nos últimos anos. Contudo, muitos desses talentos brasileiros enfrentam barreiras que comprometem sua participação efetiva e a conquista de prêmios. A burocracia fiscal e as restrições aos recebimentos internacionais são citadas como os principais motivos que excluem os brasileiros de cerca de 95% das competições com recompensa no exterior. Essa realidade não apenas desestimula os profissionais de tecnologia como também reflete um cenário mais amplo de desafios que os trabalhadores brasileiros enfrentam para atuar no mercado global.(...)

Aqora Quantum’s Public Datasets Hub to Boost Quantum Growth
Aqora Launches Datasets Hub, Setting Up Quantum Adoption Aqora Quantum
Researchers can upload, exchange, and analyze quantum-specific data at aqora.io/datasets, Aqora's new public datasets center. The reveal is a major step toward Aqora's objective of creating the quantum ecosystem's "connective tissue". This infrastructure links issues, data, and solutions to speed up field progress toward real-world applications. Aqora Quantum believes that this is the future of quantum computing, linking the brightest quantum talent, applying knowledge to real difficulties, and releasing corporate potential.
Building Quantum Connective Tissue
In the recent decade, quantum computing has moved from academia to investors, politicians, and business leaders' ambitions. The sector remains fragmented and between enterprise adoption realities and theoretical possibilities notwithstanding this development. In November 2023, Aqora was founded to bridge this gap by providing platforms, databases, and collaboration spaces to turn abstract ideas into real tools. More than Hackathons Early European quantum enthusiasts started the company. Aqora's creator, École Polytechnique graduates QuantX, staged one of Europe's first large-scale quantum hackathons in 2021. These events were promising proof-of-concepts, but participants couldn't work thereafter, revealing model problems. To extend this creative cycle, Aqora Quantum turned hackathon energy into a continuous infrastructure for cooperative problem-solving. The objective was to construct a quantum-specific Kaggle-like platform. Instead of waiting a year for a hackathon, businesses can publish challenges anytime. Teams can work for months, demonstrating their skills to potential employers and producing more complex solutions than two-day prototypes. This logic is useful since it reduces barriers for organizations who find traditional consulting sessions expensive and slow to test quantum ideas. Shared Datasets Are Essential This goal requires the new public dataset site. Shared datasets are expected to underpin benchmarking and quantum machine learning, which rely on high-quality, shared data. These critical datasets were previously scattered, licensed inconsistently, or kept separate by research teams. Users can upload, distribute, and analyze quantum computing datasets via Aqora's hub. The platform supports pandas and polars and lets contributors make data public or private. Founder collaborations allowed the hub to seed MNISQ and Hamlib under permissive licenses. Aqora CEO Jannes Stubbemann noted that “AI moved faster once ImageNet and shared hubs enabled reproducible research,” noting the historical similarity. He added that the Datasets Hub provides “verified data, unambiguous schema, and fair apples-to-apples benchmarks to quantum”.
Diverse Quantum Community Service
Aqora was designed for many quantum ecosystem users: Quantum computing can help businesses operate. Quantum experts can prove their global standing. Elite quantum computing experts can be recruited using the platform. Event planners can stage groundbreaking quantum hackathons. Quantum solution providers can demonstrate their technologies. Consulting firms sometimes run contests to gain clients. The platform aids quantum computing firms in speedy success. Community momentum and trajectory When the Datasets Hub launches later this year, Aqora plans to continue its community-focused hackathons and contests with Middle Eastern and European academic and corporate partners. The platform should also get collaborators, data, and use cases from these events. From one-off experiments to commercial deployment infrastructure, the quantum field is evolving. This key layer is where Aqora helps corporations and researchers move from prototypes to deployable solutions. If quantum computing is to transcend hardware lab rivalry, community collaboration may be more crucial than hardware success. Aqora seeks to construct a knowledge base for quantum what Hugging Face did for natural language processing and Kaggle did for machine learning.
