Reflections, notes, resources, and ideas on things that interest me. Updated monthly.
Things I Am Currently Thinking About
- UAV (Drone) Detection I am interested in exploring how to effectively monitor both benign and potentially adversarial UAV traffic, especially in urban envrionments.
- Pot Limit Omaha I'm a hobbyist poker player. I have a good amount of experience playing No Limit Hold'em, but have recently become fascinated by PLO and its strategy.
- Reality-aligned Governance What would it look like to build policy frameworks that optimize for empirical outcomes and scale for the variation in constituents' abilities, motivations, and risk tolerance? I will write on this soon.
Things I Am Currently Enjoying
- Balatro I have not really played a video game since I had a slight CSGO addiction during my early undergraduate years. However, this one has really hooked me.
- Golf I have started playing golf. I am still very much a weekend hacker, but I am gaining more confidence on the course. I also enjoy the challenges and the long outdoor walks that come with playing a round.
- For All Mankind I just found this series, but it is excellent. A great mixture of alternative history, hard sci-fi, and drama.
