I didn’t do a lot of work today. I feel relatively energetic. I met with {{REDACTED}} and told him that I got to half way through unit 2 in AP Chem, he said we’d met once I’d finished up to unit 4. Some other things I had hoped to do today:
- finish Bible connections for HRE4M,
- get caught up on missing homework for MHF4U
- finish review for SPH3U because I have a test on it on 2026-10-07
- {{REDACTED}} {{REDACTED}}
I also used the stationary bicycle for 15 minutes and did the medium workout. I think the bicycling is why I feel energetic. I felt energetic after the dance on [[2026-10-02]] too. I like doing activity.
I read Designing Data-Intensive Applications for ~20 minutes and wrote one Anki card on it. I’m reading a digital copy I {{REDACTED}}. I think we have a physical copy at home but I’m not sure where it is. It’s sort of low agency but I saw in Prime Intellect’s RL research engineer job posting they mention it (and Programming Massively Parallel Processors by Kirk and Wen-mei and the Machine Learning Open book) as books to read to learn about the field and Prime Intellect is a pretty cool company.
I also got Claude to fix my daily notes stuff. I used this plugin for the encryption but it was, sadly, not that great (weak encryption, it would write the decryption key to disk which meant anybody with access to the disk could decrypt the stuff, if you entered the wrong password it would overwrite your files, etc.) so I got it to make the encryption better and make it so that it’s encrypted at rest and at write and only stores the decrypted text in memory.
It’s late, currently 21.57 PDT or 00.57 EDT. {{REDACTED}} would not approve.
I’m listening to a lot of Holy Priest! It’s like a techno artist one of my friends played in class. Very energizing. According to Claude they’re not a real priest though :^(
