Daily Blog - August 7, 2026
Today I did plasma, tried the Jalapeno Whopper, and listened to a bit more of the QM lectures. I’ll eventually get to the QM books and see what’s up. Right now I’m working through Classical Mechanics, ISLR (which is statistics), and then DiffEq / LinAlg through Strang.
QM Lecture
This lecture was about the history of QM and the experiments that made it inevetible. It was really neat to think about the standard model and all the consequences of it.
Goldstein
I read some Goldstein today. Talked about constraints of a system.
3D Printing
I also read some papers on 3D printing. One is a 3-d printed “up stepper”. It’s a device that is in ways the opposite of a spring: when you add weight to the end it gets shorter rather than taller.

This is a very simple representation of the system. When you cut that rope between the two springs, while the other ropes are flax, what happens? The mass will go in the negative y direction! If you work out the statics of the two situations, you’ll see.
