I catch up on the latest AI news involving my favorite equation to date, the Navier-Stokes equations. Interesting approach, minus the drama. I watched this Numberphile video to understand what’s happening, while on a coffee shop in the evening, while the town is becoming silent.

The morning weather is nice. I am still on the bike ride, stopped for a drink. It’s getting noon and yet I don’t mind the heat. Birds are chirping, and the ocean is serene. I don’t know what I am going with this but maybe I am just in a good mood.

Something to ponder about..
I want to keep writing here, but nothing to add that’s interesting, so I’m just dumping these here.
I did listened again to AKMU. I just felt like it.
Big Ole Album Vol. 1 (2025) - A Day to Remember
Anywhere but Here (2009) - Mayday Parade
AIMYON BEST ALBUM - Chase the Lips! - (2026) - aimyon
After a month of testing different distros for the new (to me) laptop that will be my main computing device, I still came back to Debian. It just feel right as always using it. I’ll ride on stable and just live on the zen from now on. There’s too much unnecessary noise chasing the latest and greatest.
I just listened to the Big Ole Album Vol. 1 by A Day to Remember and damn, it is good. I know this album dropped last year and heard some few songs but I just listened to it now in full. Additional favorites, both goes hard:
You’d push me over the edge
‘Cause I’m nothing like you
Nothing like you
Don’t do some shit you’ll regret
‘Cause I know what I’d do if I have to
I’ll fight like it’s to the death
… So I’ll leave you with something genuine
From the bottom of my heart
Fuck you— To the Death
No weapon formed against me shall prosper
…
My will is stronger
Stronger
Wait
You might think it’s something spiritual
But I’m betting on the “right here, right now”
To hell with all the “someday, somehow”
I’ve waited long enough
I’ve waited long enough
(Don’t need a miracle)
Right here, right now
To hell with all the “someday, somehow”
I’ve waited long enough
I’ve waited long enough
(Don’t need a miracle)
You might think it’s something spiritual
But I don’t need a fucking miracle
Miracle— Miracle
These types of older retired people, spent decades working, most of the time jealous of other people, and yet now having plenty of free time, they just consume hours of short form contents all day. They also have this “feeling superior” mentality just because they are older and feels like they know everything, even without first hand experience of the subject matter. They won’t even listen to what you have to say, even they’re wrong, they won’t budge and just get angry.
Here they are, living everyday, getting closer to their deathbed and still waste their remaining time, with that attitude.
Why would you let their opinions affect you when you don’t respect them?
In the past two months, the album I listened to is only one. I played it multiple times, more than ten times I think. I resonated a lot with it, felt a lot of different emotions, and appreciated the music itself. I’ve been down in the dumps a lot recently and this has been a very helpful companion.
Thanks for recommending it, N!
Building and compiling LineageOS somehow feels like a therapy for me these days. I am just watching the build logs go by for hours.
Sa lahat ng tama may mali
Sa lahat ng bawal na sandali
Sa lahat ng kwentong pang-sawi
Sa lahat ng naligaw at di makauwi
Gusto ko lang mawala saglit
Gusto ko lang lumipad sa hangin
Gusto kong matulog nang mahimbing
Gusto ko lang
Merong magik
— Magik by Banda ni Kleggy
I’ve been thinking a lot about the end of things lately, as my mind wandered around, stressed out by a series of things not worth discussing. And thinking about the end of myself is weirdly comforting. The classic this too shall pass. Everything is transitory after all, and life itself is impermanent. We’re here now, we might be gone tomorrow.
“Later is always, too late.”
One month experiment: using a very old low-end phone with the latest Android version as a daily driver. The device lags as expected, but usable. The friction of using it is an advantage I’m seeking.
Suhyun’s (AKMU) crystal-clear voice always cleanses my polluted soul.
I am tired of this “You should grind now, but live later.”.
I’ve been playing “Don’t You Fake It” multiple times this past month, and will listen to it now one last time. It really is good. I had the pleasure of seeing them playing live and have a very good time. Childhood memories did came back.
Whenever something’s bothering me, Mychem has been always a go-to listen. I’ve been listening to them in every stage of my life now.
I like to listen to music, A LOT. I am now stepping away from the easy access of streaming random songs and letting the algorithm play the next songs and just going the old fashioned way of downloading the songs for offline playback. I will mostly listen to a full album instead of just one song.
I am now adding regular posts of the albums I listened to. Here’s the initial list from the last two weeks.
Listening to Hatebreed is a huge motivational boost.
I really like Cigarette and Potpourri Leaf as always from that Aimyon album.
