Fractal encryption is a new idea I am playing with more specifically encoding binary data within coordinates of a fractal. It may just be easier to use a mathematical function which outputs every sequence of 1s and 0s and give the range of y values however finding such a function proves to be difficult.

Day by day I find myself using the terminal more. I find it such an efficient workflow if you have never used it PLEASE try it install Linux mint on a live USB and TRY IT OUT. Yes there might be some growing pains but after becoming familiar you will find you proficiency and speed of use skyrocket as well as your understanding of the operating system while windows does have a terminal and WSL even lets you use Linux commands it does not come close to the openness and familiarity with your system you get with Linux

New strategy for blitz I am going to aproach creators on tiktok STEM and try to recruit them to create content. Eventually I hope to have creators such as 3blue1brown and fireship on the app but at the moment I think smaller creators are more realistic.

Currently in two minds about uni. For the longest time I have considered Oxford my first choice but now I think that this is a mistake on my behalf. This is due to Oxford not addind as much emphasis to practical aplications and more emphasis to maths. Computer science is not maths+. It is not a subject which second rate mathematicians go to. This and due to strategic reasons I am now begining to favour Cambridge this also allows me to focus my whole effort to the TMUA rather than spreading it accross the MAT and TMUA. Which puts me in a better place to apply to Imperial and LSE. Also having slight existencial crisis over computer science being oversaturated and ultimately ending up with a lowpaying job I do not enjoy.

A little update on Blitz: Development of the app is going well. I have the infinite scrolling and loading videos from a remote server down. Yet to add user accouts I expect this will be difficult. However I am having real trouble with getting high quality videos it seems none of the automated pipelines I create are even coherent and paying someone else is very costly. Ideally need an incentive for creators to come to the app before it even has users but how on earth do I do this.

I have just released a section about blitz in my projects page this is a shortform content platform I have been thinking of making for a while. I am unsure of the future of this project and how I will organise it morally it would be ideal to open source it and allow access for all but I currently don't believe that this is in the best interest of the project as it could be more beneficial if it is a business and generates revenue allowing for higher quality content, servers etc. I'm sure as I develop the project this will become clear.
