I discovered the Building a Second Brain concept (basically it's a way to keep track of information that matters to you in one single app) a couple months back and have been gradually integrating it into my life. Last week feels like the first week that it's finally come together. As in, I have my reading/highlighting flow settled, am actively progressively summarising (for example, when you first highlight a passage from a book it is simply done as a moment of intrigue so you go back to your highlights and find the core piece of information that made you highlight it in the first place - a means to consolidate information), and my sense of organisation in Evernote has much improved.

I made a neural network - just one layer of perceptrons, but it worked, and I trained it to imitate a simple XOR-like function.

I'm happy.

I took a week off from my job to enjoy spending time on my hobby. Here is the video of me pursuing my hobby.

I have not recorded this video to post here so ignore me in the video, I generally look good 😜.
