trabajo en la cocina en la mañana: transferir el modelo de QM a la teoría de DiskMath con el mismo framework visual para navegar, pero añadiendo visualisaciones hechas por claude donde ayudaba para entender la teoría: increíble el output, seguiré estudiando con el mañana almuerzo con nico, etienne y florian, nico me mostró su proyecto de una plataforma central para ayudar a estudiates a aprender (parecido a brilliant), a profesores ver como va su clase y colegios manejar estudiantes y profesores. - en vez de que paguen los colegios por licencias, los colegios convencen a los papás que paguen (5-10$ al mes), y los colegios reciben una parte de la ganancia. me pereció genial - ya nico hablando con cuatro colegios en brasil para presentarles el MVP cena en josefstrasse con papá a dormir @ 01:00
more QM map tool building, happy with the result in the end déjeuner avec Amine (data science master), surpris que j'arrive encore à avoir une conversation en français même si j'ai oublié beaucoup de mon vocabulaire
1h of QM in the train to uni already (theory refresher) tried working in the NO bunker for a while, fantastic lack of distractions, but bad air quality maybe (sleepy in record time) coffee at oberstrass, met levin & mathboys in polymensa, videcoded a QM theory visualisation map with references on theory cards in the afternoon: - got carried away time-wise (more building than studying)$ - result will be very useful however, with cards and definitions i will write myself as i progress & study topics footy training on wet rain for the first time, struggled to judge rebound distances (struggled in general) logged off early @ about 23:00
again, peaceful kitchen until the afternoon, worked on diskmath then went to zentrum to get feedback on tonus.dev website redesign from etienne and indro at the lab then dashed to sos-eth digi lab introduction: film scanning unlocked, to be tested next week (to compare quality to professionally scanned roll) dinner at polymensa (call w nico & juli) and studying at HG home with tgtg on the way. watched talk about "speculative design" of future ai tools from github employee and creative inspiration struck, several new project ideas jotted down. conviction to start making videos & improve storytelling increased (shared some stuff with andri as well)
worked from home in the peace of the empty kitchen all day, then fabulous footy training at 8pm (the cold meant that we were only 14, but that led to fantastic 7v7 game) publibike is a massive reduction in transit time and increase in flexibility with the amount of stations
fantastic space lecture by max zappe from spacex, although his mission of doing a full rocket engine rundown in 45' took from time for questions about his work with spacex unexpectedly walked into eth launch strartup convention at HG coming out of the lecture hall, talked to some startups and talent kick to see eligibility criteria for projects like tonus during that met paul (and his brother max) again, who are build a system to separate lego parts to resell them and are working on that a lot, great project worked in HG, but "buzz" from convention inhibited productivity
un día de estudio en casa y en höngg en la tarde: electronic circuits muchos pensamientos sobre AI, conversación muy interesante sobre NAZA e israel con marius y jasper, en la noche sobre YC/fundraising con felix y sobre ejercisios militares que hizo jan el su WK. trabajé en el website, pero ubo hubo unos problemas con el sync directo de los artículos desde obsidian. me debí enfocar más en terminar escribiendo el primer texto sobre AI en vez de perderme en los detalles técnicos. a dormir a las 03:19
October 2026
trabajar desde casa antes de shawarma con finn, quien no había visto en un rato. buenas conversaciones sobre “imposter syndrome” fuimos juntos a la space exploration lecture de florian kehl sobre exploarión de vida en planetas como marte. nueva imagen magnífica: enceladus desde el cassini spacecraft con sus water jets iluminados trabajamos los dos en hg-bib y luego me encontré con indro y etienne para discutir la hackathon en finlandia. en la noche "the social reckoning" en el cine: me pareció demasiado "dramatisada", pero sin haber visto the social network fue me hizo consiente de los efectos negativos que tienen los diferentes productos de meta, a nivel personal y a nivel de un país/ global. indro me dió buen feedback sobre el binomial-coefficient-video y se tomó el tiempo de verlo completo. no lo había vuelto a ver completo yo tan poco, y me dí cuenta que hay cosas que se repiten demasiado/ son demasiado lentas. sabiendo el "target audience" en el futuro será más fácil adaptar la longitud de los videos. a dormir @ 00:50
worked from home in the morning, met viktor for coffee at uni & had great conversation about his BA and how AI will change engineering tried publibike for the first time to get to footy training: what an absolute joy to use, and for free! most productive 2 hours in hg-bib after training so far, went home with fabulous toogoodtogo on the way talked to nico, who was also on the way to get tgtg in madrid (albeit a better deal of 2 tierra burritos for 6 EUR) trying to fix sleep schedule, not so successfully today: logging off @ 01:50
finishted 1st/3 discete mathematics midterm bonus exams looked into dslr scanning of 35mm film and what rig would be necessary to get good quality scans late sunday jim session to get outside, and how worth it that was (blessed by a rainbox captured on the Minox and pink clouds) recorded and edited reflexion on the claude-manim experiment on the binomial coefficient logging off @03:00
final preparation for EC midterm long overdue sauna with the laddies, discovered stadtoase as an actual oase, windstorm fit perfectly cycled home through the rain together finished editing and posted (the first version) of the binomial coefficient video, despite it costing the earlier sleep time. happy with the result, feedback requested to see where i lose people/ what could be improved thought a lot about gian in this whole process, we were saying he would be excelling at making these videos with what's possible with LLM's help logging off @ 05:06
felt the fatigue of working on the video late last night had fantastic lunch with karim, talking about how the semester is going and how we handle stress studied for EC midterm, but focus was sub-par. saw indro in the lab, brief chat about his BA first “shite” footy training since joining rämibühl, which was only because i was tired and could not give it my all post-footy session keeps being unproductive, will try switching from nights to mornings to see if that improves things kept editing binomial video for a bit too long it’s been carrying me away. ran into issues with premierepro re-renders shifting the timeline, quite the scare but fixed. logging off @ 04:01
went to optiver industry talk about FPGA engineering (disappointing speaker, interesting content nonetheless) talked to etienne about tonus & finland hackathon returned footy shoes at höngg & ran into karim and alejo studying espresso nap at home before working on EC midterm made studentsupersonic website draft recorded voice-over for binomial coefficient video & started editing implemented visual log feature on website with apple shortcut to run from phone logging off @ 03:43
