Matt, Thank you for your wishes. You have been awesome and I am glad we met. The community has greatly benefited from your drive and I am happy to be here.
As I look back I am truly thankful for many things this year. A big part of that is being able to pursue my dream, exploring the mechanisms of intelligence. And every step of this journey I have been able to work with some awesome folks from this community. I am not sure I will find another group so motivated in learning, experimenting and contributing to increase our understanding of the building blocks of intelligence. I wish you and everyone from the community a wonderful new year and success with what ever you pursue . May the force be with you :-) Chandan On Sun, Dec 27, 2015 at 9:18 AM, Jeff Fohl <[email protected]> wrote: > Matt - > > Thank you for your genuine and heartfelt words.
