Taking notes is the kind of task that should be simple. In fact, you just need a small notebook and a pen for this. However, sometimes all I got with me is my smartphone, so I would like to have some sort of solution that synced all my notes between the devices I use.

For the most part of the programming projects I am working, I like to specify some aliases for common terminal commands. Them problem is… I have never been satisfied on how to specify such aliases. On JavaScript projects with Node, it is possible to user the package.json scripts property, but this approach is obviously language-specific and cannot be used on other types of projects.

Throughout 2023, I did a lot of changes on my Linux setup, the major one being migrating most of my workflow into one more focused on terminal-based softwares. Here I will try to document what changes I’ve made and what I pretend to change in the next year.

ML4Good is a bootcamp focused on AI Safety upskilling, including workshops on interpretability, alignment and governance of artificial intelligence.

EAGxLATAM was an effective altruism event in Mexico City about existential risks, AI safety and the animal cause. There, I could talk with a lot of people that works with AI safety (e.g.: students from the AI Futures Fellowship, researchers from groups like FAR AI, etc.) and watch lectures about relevant topics.

Condor Camp was an amazing event on AI safety that happened in Mexico City. There, I learned and discussed topics related to AI governance and technical AI safety. I was also introduced to the effective altruism philosophy. It was probably the best experience regarding career planning as well.

Tropical ProbAi was a event about probabilistic artificial intelligence that occurred at FGV/EMAp in Rio de Janeiro at the end of January 2024. It had lecturers from MIT, Meta, USP, etc.
