Coolest thing I learned is to clone trees.
Roughest thing I learned is that most people who talk about climate, don't really want to plant trees. They just want to talk about it.
I learned how to localize sound events by the differences in the sound arrival time.
And I learned how to keep sub microsecond time accuracy.
Then I put the two together and made a raspberry pi sound localizer.

Swimming 3 times a week for about 45 minutes changes the body and mind.
And is a little addictive like ex. running.
Background:
I've been swimming for the last few years for about 10-20 minutes twice a week

Switching few months ago to more intense sessions led to dramatically higher rate of the change and I start to think about the ways of sustaining this.
For now I've bought the swimming paddles and this works.
Organizing a wedding, is SO exhausting.
After it happens, you’ll have more time to play with AI :D
Swimming. I have submechanophobia. I went from never having put my feet in a children's pool to swimming in the ocean near Mantas and Baby sharks.
How to design a microcoded CISC CPU, then a RISC CPU. Nothing fancy in terms of getting modern applications to run on it, but it was a lot of fun seeing how much faster it could be than the CISC CPU. I've been looking into FPGAs but maybe I should just pick one and take the plunge.
If i don't do it myself, nobody will ever do what i wish for the way i like it.
Java
I have worked with C++, Python, Node, React and compared to all this Java seems so much fun to write and understand
