JOURNAL

TODO

AM

• The last few days have been very hectic. Balancing uni and project research with darsh.
• The vision is not clear enough yet. I don’t want to lose sight of it and then have to start from scratch.

PM

TODO

• Chem / EE 1 unit

AM

• Still not recovered from the mental fall

PM

TODO

• Meet with a friend. (done) damn so tough to meet old friends. SO much to sort through… :/

AM

• Decentralized systems not built on resource heavy blockchains (so that they can be run on the more popular form factor (mobile phones)). Discuss with Darsh. (0720)

PM

• can’t get back what you threw away mate

TODO

• esp32 (done)
• tdr: rack and pinion

AM

• I have noticed - whenever I think that I am out of time or have the lack of time, for implementing an idea, or doing some work (in dev or art or anything productive), it is usually because I am comparing the current state of my work to the finished work I see around me and on social media. (0745)
  • This happens when I have a programming related idea, or something I could make in blender or writing.
  • Something else that happens because of this is I’m afraid to iterate. I refuse to believe that my idea (like the others I have seen online) is not perfect, failing to take into account the countless iterations that would have had before it was shared. This leads to my “final product” being inferior to what I had imagined it would look like, and that in turn discourages me to pursue such an endeavour again, classic vicious cycle.
  • Perhaps this is why I view my own work as sub-par.
  • Maybe I am doing the same thing with life as a whole and where I am currently.
  • It is also why my plans are so much grander, and imo, much more unachievable for me. Because I mistake myself for the people that I look up to, and then fail to deal with the inevitable failure that accompanies.

• Annotsav work is back on lesgo

TODO

AM

• If I focus on what is good around me, I am happy. If I focus on what is wrong around me, I’m not happy, but that is the only way I can make a difference. Isn’t it?? (2148hrs)

PM

• The only 2 barriers to me accepting Electric Vehicles (for regular consumers of automobiles) as acceptable are - 1. Better sources of energy, 2. Better mediums of energy storage. (2308hrs)

TODO

• summarise this
• translate this

AM

• have to get annotsav work done tonight (0015hrs)

TODO

AM

• how should one cover the distance between having an idea and implementing it. All my ideas seem so complicated that they seem impossible to me, at least in the moment.

PM

• I should stop sleeping in the evening.

TODO

• be a baller.

Energy Requirements for a cross-dimensional portal depending on its category (0530hrs)

• I recently watched Dark Matter (Apple TV Web Series), and it got me thinking about the two ways multi dimensional OR Faster Than Light (FTL) travel happens in media. They are not really the same thing at all, but for the purposes of my point they are. The two ways it happens is:
  1. A portal opens and closes in a short amount of time and allows objects to pass through it to reach their destination (like Halo, Event Horizon, Rick and Morty, and almost all pop culture media and their idea of portals).
  2. The “gateway” exists and objects travel through it (like Dark Matter, Interstellar, etc.)
• The amount of raw energy required to construct the Type - 2 Gateway would be IMMENSE and perhaps of a scale unachievable by humanity (I say this in the hopes that someone thousands of years in the future reads this and makes it happen out of human ego (me saying “thousands of years” should tell you how soon i think this will be possible)).

Communication in a Large Scale Civilisation (0545hrs)

• All this thinking about FTL has me thinking about the future of humanity quite optimistically. In the sense that we will leave the planet, our solar system, maybe even our galaxy. Well once we figure out how to bend the space-time continuum, pretty much anything would be possible i suppose.
• But how would communications happen in such a society? Being more interested in the technological than the institutional, I suppose Centralised systems would only be useful for data storage, as routing comms through central servers would just not be possible due to the scale of distances and time being too large.
• Then either the ship just carries any and all data / personnel required with her, or we just keep a portal open between command and missions, which again might or might not be possible based on the energy requirements.
