Read on Twitter
im going to be tweeting every 300s (5m) until either
i) i reach 300 followers
ii) 300m (5h) have passed
i) i reach 300 followers
ii) 300m (5h) have passed
for reference, 5m is a pomodoro break. i'm getting so used to those that today i took a 30m break and it felt like a sabbatical
actually 5m is short
that's the moment i don't have anything to say, so i'm writing meta-tweets about tweeting. yep, that's a meta-meta-tweet.
btw, yesterday i finally mastered the dark arts of matplotlib subplots (RL book for comparison)
i've also started using a kobo (similar to a kindle). it's great. feels like magic. battery can last for two months. synchronizes directly with http://app.getpocket.com so i'm reading html books such as http://equilibriabook.com/toc/ . feeling more confident about my reading abilities
plus, last 2 days have been super duper productive. like, yesterday i was surprised to even reach 17 poms (new record?), but today i'm at 20. that's like 10h of productive coding and journaling.
main reason for my current pomodoro streak is that i've discovered... wait fo it...
PLANNING
yep, that's right. i'm just writing down things to do hour by hour every day. and doing poms every half an hour. planning breaks/lunches etc.

but here's the catch: i'm trying to keep to the plan, no matter what happens. after a few days, i can see the benefits of doing so--i'm slowly building a new identity: the kind of person that respects his previous self's motivations
have you been more productive working from home?
is anyone watching S03 of westworld? i'm thinking of doing some zoom on monday so we watch in group and then discuss possible theories. DM if interested.
did DeepMind solve Atari early? https://www.lesswrong.com/posts/ygb6ryKcScJxhmwQo/atari-early
ok, so far 12 tweets in ~37minutes (3m per tweet) and no new follower. seems like i'm going to be live-tweeting until 2:30am
why am i even doing this challenge?
main reason is to get out of my comfort zone. yeah, i know, that sounds cheesy af. but having this 5m timer right on top of the writing draft boosts productivity
for reference
fun fact: i started to enjoy cooking now. it started with france's quarantine. had to cook for entire money and helped out for other people's meal. learned how to do chocolate cake and couscous https://twitter.com/MichaelTrazzi/status/1210867614936977418?s=20
why do you follow me?
other reasons:
nice
i'm actually quite surprised that i didn't get any unfollow/follow from this twitter thread yet. like, 4 people did answer some pools. but do most people just scroll and ignore tweets? i thought that people like either engaged, muted or unfollowed, but most seem to do nothing
also, i'm starting to get tired (my usual bed time is 22:30pm). not sure what i should do
i'm genuinely surprised by the answer to the pools, like i was expecting most people were just friends. but turns out there's one stalker and one blog reader! which blog did you read?

from twitter import engagement
wow, i really didn't think someone would have read my medium posts about AI (from 2018, or maybe the OpenAI one in 2019), and keep reading obvious twitter spam without muting me. hats off.
