- Tons of private work.
- FIDE World Rapid Championship started today (early in the morning, OTB in Kazakhstan).
- Roasted/glazed/pulled a scored/brined/rubbed pork butt.
- Remember that
jupyter notebook starts a local server only, and it’s for a single-user case. If you want remote access to your notebooks (to work elsewhere, to share, etc), then you’d do the usually – add certs/ssl and configure your server’s firewall. If you want a full service, where multiple users are on the platform, use jupyterhub.
- Wrote some python simulations for existing excel models.
- Finished Dark. Amazing show.
- Themes:
- Secrets are bad.
- Time is a loop, the past is not the beginning and the future is not the end. Trying to affect it is what causes it in the first place.
- (bootstrap paradox – you find a book on your doorstep one day randomly, and it contains instructions to build a time machine, so you spend a few years building a time machine, then travel back in time to leave yourself a book with instructions on how you did it. Which is first, the chicken or the egg?)
- You can’t escape your fate. You can’t change your true character.
- Loss of loved ones is what causes the splits.
- The number 3, triquetras, trinities. 3 worlds. 33 years between cycles. 3 lives: one that ends when you lose your naivete, one that ends when you lose your innocence, and one that ends when you lose your life itself.
- You pass your vices down: infidelity, abuse, etc.
- Dreams and deja vu are just these alternate timelines and worlds creeping into our relative realities.
- I would have changed the ending:
- The origin world should have been a split world from someone else’s origin.
- (true in the show) – Fate was inescapable in the two main worlds, the worlds that Tannhaus split from his origin world after his son/daughterInLaw/granddaughter died.
- The death of Tannhaus’ family in that accident therefore should have been unavoidable. Maybe it doesn’t happen on that bridge that night (diff time or diff space), but it happens, and Tannhaus creates Jonas’ and Martha’s worlds regardless.
- And thus we’re all in a recursive loop. Each origin world, each reality we feel as the main character of our lives, is a split world from someone else’s. There is no origin. There’s no absolute. All of our realities are relative!
- This would have been more consistent with the rest of the show, affirming all of the themes above.
