Hello! The Thiel Fellowship was a wonderful period for me, and gave me a lot of freedom to work on different topics. I'm very grateful for it.

Unfortunately, the Fellowship only lasts for two years. Towards the end, it was actually super stressful. How could I support myself while continuing to work on what I thought was important? And if I wanted to live in the Bay Area, how could I event get immigration status to work and live there?

Getting to work at Google Brain at this point let me continue to do what I was doing before -- many of my blog posts, including the one being discussed here, were written while I was at Brain.
