An Exciting Day

-
I had started this post yesterday...

=====
Hello there, Time for me to spill some more thoughts onto this page. A couple days ago I would have posted but I had to finish my work (wrapping up my third pomodoro block) and yesterday I had just forgotten to do so. But today...now....it is just 9pm so I'm going to take it easy for the next hour and enjoy the early night before wrapping up for the day.
=====

Ironically, though, another task popped up and I spent the time till 10pm doing that. Now, it's about 24 hours later, and I'm here again at 9:29pm. I want to enjoy the time for the next half hour and work on this post. I've finished my work for the day. I actually have some more exciting software development tasks coming up in my company Konect, so that's something to look forward to working on tomorrow.

Hmm... maybe I'll talk a bit about what I observed regarding my tasks. Some of them are fun, some of them aren't. I'll tell you one thing that I don't find very fun right now: that's making phone calls. Making 5 daily marketing phone calls has been one of my tasks for the past few days to arrange meetings and talking to cities/counties/businesses. Others of them are more captivating, such as coding (particularly writing fresh new code). Regardless, I would agree that regardless of this disparity in engagement, tasks are tasks and it is my dharma to do them with a detached mindset, as Gita teaches.

Well, I also started running my 5ks again about 3-4 days back, going in the morning. My piano practice is also coming along, and I'm learning Nocturne Op. 9 No. 2 by Chopin. Today I answered my first Stack Overflow question (https://stackoverflow.com/questions/63089387/rotating-high-dimensional-orthogonal-vectors-in-python/63093094#63093094). In the afternoon, I watched S1E1 of "Anne with an E" and I found it quite enjoying and slept in the evening from 5:30pm to 7pm.

I feel my day today was quite exciting and fun-filled. I'll head to bed now and prepare for the next day.

My Summer

-
So today is Saturday, October 7th. Yesterday was the end of Week 1 of the quarter, meaning that we have about 10 more weeks before Winter Break, which doesn't seem like a lot. Summer this year was eventful. Firstly, I joined Smash Gyms for about two months, which I attended in the evenings after coming home from my internship. I attended the Muay Thai and Strength/Conditioning classes mostly. Secondly, I interned this summer at the same place I had interned at last summer, Cadence Design Systems. I enjoyed my time there and I didn't feel very stressed. Thirdly, during the last three weeks of summer break, which were also roughly the first three weeks of September, my parents went to India, leaving me and my brother to take care of the home, which we did. Now that I am growing older, I feel that I should be more careful about the words I choose, particularly on a public-facing blog like this one. There are pros and cons to this blog being public. The self-critical voice inside m...

Thoughts on LLMs and Modeling

-
I am sharing here something I have written about LLMs and modeling. Most of it leans towards the science-fiction side, but it is at least partially based on reality and hopefully it will serve as a foundation for some future research ideas. Hope you enjoy! https://drive.google.com/file/d/1He_KZDnfAaKOfcLkrfY_XVwMsHLmdhHK/view?usp=drive_link

A Realization

-
I just realized something that is simultaneously great and terrible--that hard work is the key to satisfaction. It is great because it means that if you work hard, life will be better. But at the same time, it is terrible because it means that you have to work hard even if you don't want to. I woke up around 8:30 full of fear, worry, and frustration. After I finished a long day of work (~10 hrs work at least I think), however, I feel satiated and fine. I still have a lot of work, but I feel a little calmer. I also had a random thought a few days ago that I thought I would talk about. Religion seems like not just one thing but rather a combination of multiple things. It is the stories and literature or mythology that comprise the story it tells. E.g. The Ramayana It is a set of rules by which you must live your life and tells you your values. E.g. The Ten Commandments It is your personal relationship with God. It is a source of comfort and love to help you get through tough times an...
