• I intend to write [[Caramel City]] today.
• I intend to assemble one piece of Ikea furniture.
• I intend to properly fix the bathroom light fixture.
• Save recovery code for [[matrix]].
• Set up [[matrix]] communities.
• Try out [[pentadactyl]] for [[firefox]]. Actually tried "saka key". Decent, but still interferes with some sites more than I'd like and doesn't have a "default off mode" which I'd like.
• Interacted with [[exgenesis]], [[Juan Jose Fernandez]]

Tech Won't Save Us podcast

I stumbled on the [[Tech Won't Save Us]] podcast the other day, and after listening to a few episodes (interviews with Dan Hind, [[Lizzie O'Shea]], and Grace Blakely) I recommend it really highly, if you're interested in tech from a (left-wing) political perspective.

always mention the downsides of your ideas or approaches. people should understand the flaws of the current system.

19:06 knowing math

understanding math:

• know how to use machinery to transform problems into solutions
• understand how to advance the field; learning to read and write proofs most people do not need to write proofs, but its important to understand how the real world relates to math

It's important to recognize a world in which you can phrase a problem and the ability to sovle a concrete problem within this framework.
