Ok day, worked all day but wasn't that productive.
- Put another 20ish digits into my memory system
- Learned about tensor network diagrams in my interview (see here too). Felt like I did terrible in the interview, definitely choking under pressure, Oh well.
- Refreshed some knowledge about probability distributions by reading Blitzstang
- Read a few transcripts of interviews with AI researchers. Debated GPT-10 being dangerous on eleutherai
- Talked on the math discord, read some functional analysis. Tried to talk to serge lang fan.
Goals for tomorrow:
- No wasting >1h learning (e.g. if I haven't made any Anki cards for an hour, or learned any proof techniques I'm wasting time)
- Do framing exercises or fixed point exercises (forgot today // didn't follow schedule)
- Do some applied coding stuff in JAX, find something, model it, make a demo.
- Do some physics or chemistry, chemistry is good for practicing memory techniques, and I need to understand biology at some point (molecular bio book too)
