Faroe Islands

Well, there is always an opportunity to learn new things beyond the narrow focus of the mathematical modeling, which I love it, but more when one has a full grasp of the model. In a transformer based large language models, the feeling might create some disconnections in senses or other important aspects of life. But it is always enlightened the talks to folks who wear rubber boots and/or roll up the sleeves. Even if metaphoric. There is a solid base with some folks where all the best possible models, still are diminished to the great and in-depth knowledge of the physical environmental and of the literature.

On another topic. Of course, with the human interactions, then there are all the in-depth learnings that one grasps. So, the concerns about are real. Particularly, if non seeing as a tool. The machine, might be more dangerous than the car. Might be because is more invasive on the environmental, and we might have been use to give our way to the car machines. Cars are useful, but also when used strategically for specific purposes. Particularly in places where one cannot get by public transportation, or the load would be too much to make a trip in public transportation, or it is beyond the distance reachable by foot and by bike.

If one forget about what tools are. Then, it might loose the meaning. Still, it is great to produce a great tool though.

Ok. A conversation for another time.

OK. I learned today about the Faroe Islands. Wow. Very welcome folks from there.

I also learned about agriculture in a global scale. I learned about OECD, or Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development.

Although, not new, I learned a bit about the ammonium nitrate explosion in Beirut in 2020.

It has been interesting times.

But I must do more.

Oh. I am getting back to habits from some years ago of writing without spelling checker neither grammar checker. Sometimes I forget to turn those on. There might be more chaos. The thing is that there is a consistent streaming of thoughts, when I am less tired than now. Still things to do. But good to place thing down on paper. While also doing a few things more.

I might be saving one or two observations of relevant topics for either a notebook, a conversation, or might this place again.

Oh. Trial and error is great. Yes. Trust must happen first. But then the setting of boundaries to achieve good habits is good.
