Once I stopped fitting in all my clothes during pregnancy I started using Nuuly for monthly clothing rental and it's been great! I don't have to buy an entire new wardrobe. I dropped my return at the UPS today and there were dozens of Nuuly packages so seems they're very popular
I recently learned it's common among wealthy people to use concierge doctors who don't accept insurance (more time with doctor, specialized care, etc) and just get insurance with a really high deductible to cover crazy expensive emergencies
Optimistic about AI helping solve a lot of cold criminal cases that were previously underresourced. When I worked in cybercrime investigations, there was an immense amount of manual work filtering through data. Ultimately can help catch some very bad people and bring closure
Finished reading my second physics textbook Classical Mechanics by Taylor!
Great deeper dive on mechanics esp learning more derivations on formulas, new methods, and helpful examples/problem sets. Also pushed my math more with linear algebra later on. Fantastic book
My 1st trimester of pregnancy was a lot tougher than I anticipated with the sheer fatigue and nausea but glad to be over the worst of it! I have even more empathy for women that go through it esp who had it even worse or on top of intense work, taking care of other kids, etc
Chaos has def been the most fascinating topic for me within classical mechanics so going to take some time to go deeper on it! Plus the visualizations are beautiful
Someday in a physics or math textbook there might be something like "Claude's principle" or "Claude's number" that students learn, named after the LLM that discovered it
After working through lots of physics examples / problem sets, it's been interesting learning how often little tricks are used to simplify things e.g. ignore small terms, make small angle approximations, change coordinates, use natural units where you set some constants to 1
Rough day of travel. First flight was delayed so we missed our connection. Second flight to NY had to circle in the air until it ran out of fuel and got diverted to Cleveland. I guess on the bright side I get to visit Cleveland for the first time
Hit the point in my physics studying where I need linear algebra so going to do a major refresh. I learned it for my first job out of college but had a bit of a miserable experience then due to cramming it in after intense work hours but now I get to relearn it for fun!
