random fun stuff

chillosophy was a club at my high school where we discussed perplexing questions about the world around us. it taught me a lot about the value of conversation and perspective. here you’ll find all the crazy stuff we talked about.

i wrote my personal statement for college about indian astrology. it was quite risky but i tied it into my fascination with the unfathomable and the limits of science.

i love to read. biographies, sci fi, history, philosophy, business: anything i can get my hands on. i have a notion database tracking the stuff i’ve read and my takeaways from each piece.

things to (maybe) do

• understand basic cryptography
• try hacks on raspberry pi
• invest in a crypto currency
• buy an nft (and see how it works)
• try out muzero on some atari game and see how it does
• run alphafold and see how it works
• designing a vision system that can recognize the activity of my parakeets and notify unusual behavior
• try out a ctf
• get a gpu and train a model
• website for dad’s photos
• attend treehacks (and a bunch of hackathons all over the world)
• get into yc (edit: not sure about this)
• go on a sabbatical somewhere remote
• internship at a big tech company (just to see how it looks like to work there)
