Boltzmann Brain is a thought experiment in physics. It suggests that in a very large or infinite universe, a fully formed brain could appear randomly. This brain would have memories and thoughts, but they are not real, they are just illusions. Some calculations suggest that such a brain might be more likely to form than an entire universe like ours. This raises a strange question: how do we know we are not boltzmann Brains? The idea comes from entropy and probability, the way disorder works in the universe. Scientists mostly use it to test cosmology theories, not as something that really happens. It challenges how we understand reality, observation, and consciousness. It also shows how big and strange the universe can be.

Achilles:
I'll tell you a secret. Something they don't teach you in your temple. 
The gods envy us. They envy us because we’re mortal, because any moment may be our last. Everything is more beautiful because we’re doomed. You will never be lovelier than you are now. We will never be here again.

The past few days I was trying to build a CLI scientific calculator with Rust and I have a basic working calculator now.

I learned how the entire compiler pipeline works, from tokenizing input into symbols, to building an Abstract Syntax Tree (AST) that represents the mathematical structure.

What I found hard was designing the recursive grammar rules to handle operator precedence correctly, and wrestling with Rust's ownership model when constructing the nested tree nodes without creating memory bugs.

Can do basic operation with precedence rules. Time to add error handling and add other mathematical functions like trigs.

This is basically how tokenization works, and surprisingly how compiler lexers work

I'll drop the repo when im done with it

"If I'm worth something later, I'm worth something now"

-Vincent Van Gogh

There are moments in life when everything feels blurry your career, your direction, even your sense of self. You’re moving, but you’re not sure if you’re moving forward. You’re growing, but you can’t tell if it’s in the right direction And that confusion It’s not failure. It’s the beginning of awareness.

As we grow, our values shift. Our goals become louder. Our tolerance for chaos becomes smaller. And the books we read whether it’s self-development, psychology, leadership, or philosophy start to act like quiet mirrors. They show us who we are becoming too slowly to notice, and who we don’t want to be anymore.

Sometimes a book pushes you to question your career ,Sometimes it forces you to confront habits you avoided,Sometimes it makes you realize you deserve better in work, in people, in life.

And that’s where the real confusion starts. Because once you see more, you can’t unsee it. And once you grow internally, your external world must catch up. Personal development is messy. You don’t wake up motivated every day. You don’t get immediate clarity. You don’t feel strong throughout the process.

But you do evolve.

And one day, you look back and realize the confusion was the turning point the bridge between your old self and the person you’re trying to become.

Sometimes you want things to work out just for the sake of giving good news to the people who are rooting for you

ONE DOWN!

Man what a ride. Honestly I didnt think a book about a bunch of guys chasing a whale could be this epic.

Yes its long and yeah Melville really loves his chapters on the anatomy of a whale and the different ways to render oil. You'll definitely want to skim those parts. But when you hit the narrative sections especially anything involving Captain Ahab its electric.

Ahab isnt just a captain hes a magnificent terrifying obsession walking around on a wooden leg. His fury toward Moby Dick isnt about profit its pure destructive madness. The real brilliance of the book is how it turns the hunt for a literal white whale into a hunt for everything. God, fate, revenge and the unknowable malice of the universe.

And Quiqueg. Hes the best. That weird wonderful friendship he has with Ishmael the narrator is the human heart of the story that keeps the heavy philosophical stuff from dragging you under.

Its an adventure story a technical manual and a deep meditation on obsession all rolled into one. Just brace yourself for the detours and enjoy the insane glorious chase. Its a classic for a reason.

I rate all books relative to the brothers karamazov because it is a 10 for me. I'd say Moby Dick is 7.5/10. Good read overall.

Love wins when it is more of a commitment than it is feelings.

Feelings are transient, fickle, fleeting and more often cant be a reason relationships last longer.

And im going to disable that dislike emoji... not because i want to be right all the time but because it is clearly out of naivety or hate that you guys are disliking, have some brain.

Advent of Code 2025 - Day 1 Complete

Just finished Day 1. The puzzle was about a safe with a dial. The dial has numbers 0 to 99 and starts at 50. We get instructions like "L68" (turn left 68 clicks) or "R48" (turn right 48 clicks).

Part 1

Count how many times the dial is pointing at 0 after finishing each move. Simple: track position, check if it's 0, count.

My answer: 964.

Part 2

Here it got more interesting. We need to count every time the dial shows 0 during the whole move, not just at the end.

Example: If you turn right 1000 clicks from position 50, you pass through 0 ten times while turning.

For right turns, I calculated how many multiples of 100 we cross (each time we cross, we hit 0). For left turns, I simulated each click because the math with negative numbers and wrapping was messy.

The rem_euclid() (in rust) function helps with the wrap-around (0 → 99 when going left). Had to be careful with counting when starting at 0 or ending at 0.

Good first day. Part 1 was easy. Part 2 made me think about the difference between "during" and "after". The puzzle had a little joke: "method 0x434C49434B" is hex for "CLICK" :)

Ready for Day 2.

This is basic calculator. The four arithmetic operators, precedence and unary operations work. I was going to add trig functions and factorial... but i cant still wrap my head around AST ( will complete the project another time). It was just a learning project tho.
