Bad day, only did ~1h physics (variations and least action), ~1h math (read Jaynes) and ~1h alignment (writing diffeq post)

I came up with a good goal though: read 4% of a math textbook 5 days a week, and spend 4h reading math textbooks/day whichever is greater.

Talking in eleutherai makes me realize I'm not that far behind in math compared to some researchers. I might be able to do theoretical alignment research now if I start reading the alignment forum

Stayed up too late (10:30) re-reading MOPI (if you can't guess that acronym it's top secret, sorry). This is bad! I need to go to bed early

How'd I do on yesterday's goals? I started the diffeq post, but diden't do diffeqs or a framing exercise.
