- festering of procrastination is you scared to do it when you have not started doing it yet for too long - but another day new day
- festering of procrastination is when you haven’t finished something, you won’t know how to frame it because you hallucinate like AI. but you can talk about stuff that you’ve done in the way even if you haven’t finished it
- having a MVP makes me safe because i will definitely not die
- 不断不断地重学：要沉下心。实验里要沉下心。不要着急。要设置很多中间步骤test case，才能确定你的结果不是写错了是真的这个现实。不管是wetlab 还是模拟。总是忘掉，模拟大概忘了3次，生物大概忘了5次。也没办法，心急了就这样。只好给自己一个便签，一堆防治措施：hey, when you get strange results, first check the intermediate expectations; don’t think rerunning the computer is more time-efficient, it’s just a bomb thrown to your future self
- i sometimes appreciate/have fun: “last night it was actually pretty fun to check what went wrong, eg how did cluster size grow so big in the swarm? and also fun (after some burn in period) to do pen and paper calculation for the mean field, because it’s really about capturing what’s the relationship eg between noise and time? what do we expect, eg at infinite time? but also, yeah this still has a long way to go. but at the same time, topological or geometric interaction very interesting and worthwhile. glad i have the iterative time.” November 22
- i asked someone who is really good at publishing well with little time input about my long long difficult paper writing.
- definitely get pawel as the contact author
- then he would need to give feedback too
- 2-3 years is bit too long of a cycle - where you get interested in the next thing already, just wrap it up
- ideally: 20% time - design and write the story for others to implement; 30% time - fun stuff, new routes; 50% - chill
- writing: the story should have an interesting approach to the old problem and show that it works (eg open source code for people to check)
- it will improve with time
