Good day, got up at 5:30

• Spent 1h reviewing prs for my abbott solutions repo
• Spent 1h trying to figure out an intuitive view of Holder's inequality, saw there were good proofs based on convexity, and learned you can build a general theory of inequalities from convexity.
• Spent 4h 30m Studying convex optimization, tomorrow I'll finish chapter 1
• Spent 2h writing a LessWrong post about math meta-learning. I think I could write a good sequence on this similar to how EY did daily blog posts (many are bad, but only the good ones are remembered)
• Spent 30m reading LessWrong, various alignment strategies was useful, then I re-read some AI-boxing stuff which made me more interested in deception / mentalism
• Spent 1h reading tricks of the mind by Derren Brown
• 2h watched some Derren Brown videos and (mostly) a few episodes of Safety Third, a great podcast. (waste though, should have been reading)

Main things I learned:

• Derren Brown is seriously overpowered and I need to learn these skills
• The famous Science-Youtubers aren't that educated, I could totally do what they do
