- Zero respect from some recruiters. Got 4 phone calls from one this morning, starting at 730am. Had to block the number.
- Bhatti with Ben/Boris/Harner last night, then warriors lost to suns.
- Mealprepped. Smoothies, oat milk, hibiscus tea, liver, coffee, pork shoulder.
- Was half a pork butt, 3.3lbs. Dry brine, mustard binder, sichuan pepper and paprika. Uninjected, unscored. 250F for 7hrs unwrapped, 1hr wrapped, rested. Pulled, more dry rub, honey.
- Fresh pulled pork is delicious, but I think I like the leftovers ever better: crisp the carnitas in a pan, cook eggs in the leftover fat, wrap in tortilla and grill outsides for a breakfast burrito.
- Remember QQQ ETF = 100 largest mcap non-financial companies listed on nasdaq.
- 2nd highest daily vol for ETFs, SPY is #1.
- Sbsc.
- Updated banner, committed lines, submitted picks.
- Had to add
docker/uwsgi-prod.ini to setup.py:scripts so that it ships with the service package. In dev, this was missed; I mount the whole repo. In prod, the final img is slim and only has my python pkg. - Had to restore the prod db. Not sure why. Had to manually add the MNF score.
- Rebased my partial cicd branch on these master changes. Hate doing work in segments.
- Tested local and remote backups to be absolutely safe. All good.
- In bash script
cd "${0%/*}" to go to the dir of the script. - BSBY = bloomberg short-term bank yield index.
- IBKR = interactive brokers.
- (paraphrased) Dopamine is performance/accomplishment based (“I did well”) which inspires future action. Seratonin is comfort/safety based (“I am well”) which inspires rest/happiness.

- Bathtub Gin, speakeasy in Chelsea.
- A torn ACL historically would be removed surgically and replaced with a graft from another part of your body or someone else’s. This is reconstruction. Nowadays, there’s the BEAR implant, which is basically bovine collagen soaked in your own blood. This holds blood between the ACLs ends so that a clot can form, which is required for your body to heal the torn ACL itself (rather than replacing). Synovial fluid in the knee prevents this from happening normally.

- Matt Levine’s The Crypto Story: https://www.bloomberg.com/features/2022-the-crypto-story/
- Starts with database analogy. Everything is tracked there, for most systems, and we inherently trust it. Why not make money the same.
- Background on basic concepts. Satoshi, encryption, decentralization, ledger, PoW, consensus, eth, general state machine, smart contracts, dapps, PoS, mining, gas, tokens, NFTs, ICOs, trilemma, layer 2s, bridges, wrapping, tokenomics, DAOs, BAYC, metaverse, tradfi vs defi, wallets, custody, CEXs, stablecoins, AMMs, liquidity pools, impermanent loss, arb, MEVs,
- Btc should have been a hedge to inflation, since limited in supply. It was not. It has moved with great correlation to the stock market.
- Tokens are basically shares. Early supporters are incentivized.
- Talks about some hacks, vulnerabilities, recessions, pumps.
- The article covers FTX tokenized stocks very briefly.
- Overall the article is just an overview. No conclusions or insights, just a recap (would not have sat down to read 40k words if I had known this ahead of time).
- Wow. After 2 days of self-paced breathwork (as opposed to guided: 30 avg breaths -> 2min retention, 3 rounds), I have noticed considerable improvements.
- I now do the sympathetic portion at my own pace. I still do 30 breaths, but do them fully and deeply, resulting in a slightly more slow pace.
- And then I do not constrain the retention. I hold until the urge to breath in is overwhelming.
- Yesterday I was just getting used to the interface of the timer.
- Today I tried to do a regular session. I could only do 2 rounds.
- I was higher than I’ve ever been. Whole body tingles, lightning through my fingertips. Brought me back to the first time I ever tried breathwork years ago, and likely stronger.
- In my second round, I held my breath at an exhale for over 4.5 minutes without much struggle.
- I felt immense relaxation for nearly half an hour following the session. Usually it dissipates in about 5 min.
- I’ll try for 3 rounds tomorrow, as my usual practice goes. I bet I can hit 5min.
- The only disadvantage: I have to count 30 breaths, and touch a screen at certain moments (which requires brief eye opening) – rather than purely audio. So I have to retain some element of consciousness. But I’m sure that will take less duty cycle as it becomes more and more routine.
- 5/5 this week in supercontest, rare.
- Xi “won” an unprecedented third term as president and their big 5 companies lost of 52B in market value in 1d.
- Rankings updated after UFC 280 on saturday: https://www.ufc.com/rankings. Makhachev went from unranked p4p to 3! Volk still 1 p4p. O’Malley went from 11 to 1 in bantamweight, Yan dropped to 2.
- Overall BoA’s credit card interface is prob the worst I’ve seen. Chase is best. Amex/citi/others are in between.
- Finished The Watcher. Based on the real story in Westfield, NJ. Got a bunch of creepy letters from 2014-2019 and sold the house. The John Graff character is based on John List, who did murder his family in the same city, but in 1971 and unrelated to The Watcher house.
- Steve Carell’s The Patient finished also. And Del Toro’s Cabinet of Curiosities started today.
- Earnings today from MSFT, GOOG, SPOT. Tomorrow is META. Thursday is AAPL, AMZN.
- Sunak has a pretty good lock for prime minister. Former finance minister, very wealthy, supports web3.
- Apple took a stance on NFTs by regulating functionality. Apps can list/sell/etc NFTs but cannot unlock in-app features based on NFT ownership. And all NFTs must be purchased through the standard apple in-app payment system (can’t connect metamask and buy separately).
- Sbsc.
- Updated the cloudwatch dashboard to lock mem/cpu/disk y axis limits to 0-100 and remove legend, resulting in a cleaner/consistent view of util.
- Cleaned and consolidated the disk read/write and network in/out to show bytes and counts on the same graphs.
- “Thank you for unsubscribing. It can be up to 10 days until it takes effect.” – Always kills me. This should be instantaneous!
- Rhinorrhea = runny nose.
- The suffix means flow/discharge. Prefix rhino=nose, dia=throughout, gono=genitals.
