Birds Are Chirping

May 06, 2026 ·

Birds are starting to chirp louder. Summer is loading. Truth be told, I only recently realized that seasons are equally split up neatly into 3 months each, making a total of four seasons. I thought spring and fall were mini seasons and lasted like two, three weeks max. Apparently not. The AIs educated me on it. There's a couple different ways to go about counting seasons, some kind of hemisphere situation going on in there. And they all last three months each. So now I'm starting to pay more attention to it all. May is spring? If you say so.

Another thing I don't fully understand but find interesting is what David Moore shared on X on May 4. I met David a few summers ago and was quite impressed by him and his work. David does computational physics and runs a website called math and code, plus he streams on Twitch. Probably one of the smartest people I ever met it feels like. I remember he suggested me a physics lecture that I'm yet to watch still. I find his work very interesting so sharing it here. More about it in his words below.

Exact time evolution of a free massless scalar field! This is a theoretically very boring thing (day 1, week 1 of a quantum field theory course), but... how do I explain this... to a lattice field theorist, a lot of algorithms scale really badly. Many PhD theses have been written… pic.twitter.com/EDYfGPW3rB
