Hey! My name is Sid. I’m an independent researcher studying connections between computation and biological evolution. I like to grow unusual plants, read sci-fi, and watch anime (recently, One Piece). I speak Japanese as well.
You can schedule a short meeting with me about anything at all over here. Do it! It’ll be fun!
I’m on twitter @ftlsid and I write at cybermonk.substack.com.
