How is it possible that Alexander Grothendieck was able to work for 12 hours everyday for many years, same with Nikola Tesla studying for almost 20 hours while in the University and also Newton Comes to mind ..how did these men do it if I may ask?

Wow. ..I'm really surprised by this comment..what do you mean by "farther away than ever" . I just recently started learning to code and I really want to go into machine learning ..does it mean there isn't any major innovation right now in the field ?
