What I do & think

This section is most important. Yet it is not complete. Newest thoughts first.

Lectures & speeches I like
Hrvoje Buljan — Quantum Physics (propagation of light): 3 h of lectures featuring two computer codes: (1) Schrödinger equation solver (Euler method), (2) Eigenvalue finder. Demonstrates what is written in Sakurai's standard quantum physics textbook.
T. R. Mackie"Don't predict future, you make it."
Jesus"Do you love me, Simon..." John 21  ·  KES Duhovni kutak: Rane tvoje krvare
Birthday party @SKAC — One great girl had a thesis: "You must have money to live." I opposed: "You can live on a piece of land, like Robinson Crusoe." In short: I was wrong.
Formula worth knowing
Rarely known but very useful formula from Neven Elezović's high school handbook of mathematics:
Interest rate formula Formula explained

Example 1: A product costs 10 €. After 7 years of 5% inflation: type 10*exp(0.05*7) in Google.
Example 2: Run your loan and salary through this formula.
Equivalent to a loan payment table where time is divided into infinitely small intervals.

Other thoughts
Having understood the principle of MR imaging in 2011, I started believing it can be improved because there is a need for better imaging in medicine.
In Aug. 2018 I was experimenting with TV signal (PAL) on Arduino and DSO-138 oscilloscope. Every measurement must be accompanied with memorising: seeing a picture on TV is one way; seeing the signal is the first analytical step; writing it to disk is the second; reconstructing TV scan lines is the third.
I studied sports betting. I believe it's possible to win with good statistical analysis. Wasted time, but learned programming. Some code & data from 2010 available to friends. Nowadays I see no point — there are better ways to earn.
I wanted to hold a kids' workshop on robotics, programming & hobby electronics. Someone else did it instead: link. The idea no longer interests me as much.
