Explaining corrections to someone/something else might the the furthest I ever feel from flow state. Perhaps flow state requires that there is no transfer of state. And no use of language to perform actions. Both of those seem to use a much less pleasant part of the brain.

This section header design screams LLM and now I see it everywhere. Sometimes the subheader really really doesn't add value.

I'm in what I think is a pretty unique situation. I'm in Japan with 5 people. Two of them do not know English well at all. The language we have the most knowledge in is Indonesian, which I started learning 28 days ago. We're just barely able to communicate basic things.

I'm in Jakarta, Indonesia. It's hot, but I've never seen temperature this consistent across days before. It's not actually rainy btw.
Over 10 days, all peak temps are 33 C and all low temperatures are 25-26 C

In Sweden apparently the military calls drones and missiles "robot", which is the same word we use for normal robots. But the news uses the term too. Kinda confusing.

Today we learn of another new nuclear company going public to cash in on the datacenter hype. If all goes as planned they will have a commercial reactor by 2032. Their reactors would produce 1/5 of a gigawatt. Meanwhile, today, solar adds 1 gigawatt of capacity every day by noon.
the world is now adding 2GW of solar capacity every day.

TIL Sliding Window Attention lets still lets the model see the embeddings that are outside of the window. Idk why I thought it would truncate the entire sequence. It's right in the name that it would only affect attention.
