I am a strong proponent of leaving this planet better behind than when I arrived on it. Thus to get the most bang for a lifetime my key focus is #longevity which I attempt to achieve with #nutrition specifically #plantbased.
Longevity is good and all as long as you are not frail and weak. Ideally would be to die young at an old age. Thus I incorporate tactics from #biohacking and #primalfitness. Additionally I am an advocate of #wildcrafting, which is a super set of #herbalism.
Studied many fields of science like maths or statistics, though the constant was always computer science.
Currently working as a fullstack web developer, though prefer to call myself a #SoftwareCrafter.
The goal of my side projects is to practice #GreenDevelopement meaning to create mainly static websites. The way the internet was intended to be.

#StatisticsChallenge (45/50)
Wrote up a round of notes before the New Year's Eve party.
Summary:
Notes: 1
#StatisticsChallenge (44/50)
Continued with homework. Took maybe 5min to solve. I feel that should be the minimum requirement for a successful day.
Summary:
Homework: 1
#StatisticsChallenge (43/50)
Came across a message from the author of "Atomic Habits" and realized what I have been trying to do is create such a habit through this challenge. The key thing that stuck with me is the idea of "showing up", where it's better to do 5min than skip a day.
Additionally, I remembered that my local markdown editor on mobile has a LaTeX renderer and will ease the process when importing into R-Studios.
So I digitalized the physical notes from yesterday.
Summary:
Homework-Notes: 2
#StatisticsChallenge (41/50)
The struggle is real, so continued with the least time consuming.

A thread on ignorance in science.
It’s often claimed that science is about accumulating knowledge. But knowledge accumulation is only one side of the scientific coin. This thread contains 10 quotes from scientists, philosophers of science, sociologists, feminists, and statisticians who’ve highlighted the importance of *ignorance* in science, both as a precursor and a product. Enjoy!

Breaking: Google's management has issued a 'code red' over concerns about the potential threat #ChatGPT, a highly buzzed-about #AI chatbot from @OpenAI, could pose to the search engine business, according to The New York Times. CEO Sundar Pichai has reportedly held meetings on the matter. #Alphabet #NYT
A couple weeks back Munich decided to put wearing masks as a recommendation while on public transit.
It is quite astonishing how many people simply stopped wearing them because it's not the law anymore.
This brings up the question of how many things people do just because it's the law and not out of principle.
Example: would people still wear their seatbelt if it wasn't the law?

I’m a programmer. The word “Pre-diculous” came up in conversation with a co-worker this afternoon. We’re interpreting it as “this is a dumb thing that we’ve been told to implement, but it hasn’t been released yet”.

The days prior during class, I remembered how fun it was doing math problems. So today I dealt covariance matrices. Kind of got lazy calculating eigenvalues of a 4x4 matrix, so took R to do the work for me. The values weren't that nice, so I saved the time dealing with factorization.

Homework: 1

The coffee wore off just as I arrived at class. Luckily wasn't yawning too badly, though focus wasn't too great either. Remarkable that I was still able to do the math without any critical logical mistakes.

Finally completed the #Munich S-Bahn end station challenge. With the final distance from #Altomünster to #Mammendorf.
AAR:
Wore spikes the whole time. 3h in sunlight, 2.5h in darkness. In the latter section used my red headlamp. Navigated through heavy fog, sight distance maybe 10m. Got lost in the forest and fields, followed rabbit tracks to get back out. Also best not to do while sleep deprived. Currently awake 25h 🙈
#StatisticsChallenge (33/50)
It's been awhile since I drank coffee in the morning. Although it did help for like an hour, the crash happened during the class.
