Evening Zwift and Heat Acclimation

It was another scorching day, so I was already pretty drained by the time I got home. I ended up completing a 30-minute Zwift ride indoors. I really need to build up my heat tolerance; otherwise, maintaining my training routine throughout the summer will be nearly impossible.

ICT Study

For my AI and IT studies, I continued working through the Claude course on Udemy alongside Microsoft SC-500 exam prep. For the SC-500, in addition to official Microsoft videos, I experimented with various study methods using NotebookLM. Tinkering with the tool helped me clarify my learning approach. I am currently focusing on the high-level overview and core terminology for all five domains, and I plan to dive into the details gradually while solving practice questions.

Money Study

In my GFS finance and investment lessons, I kept watching the investor interview series. Even within the same field, each investor adopts a distinct strategy. It is less about finding an objectively correct answer and more about discovering a style that aligns with my own goals.

Language Study

During my daily commute, I practiced English, Chinese, and Korean on Duolingo.

一句话点评

在通勤路上经过新宿一带時，我常能看到貌似中国人的人群，但要听懂他们的对话依然相当困难。

일문 코멘트

한국인으로 보이는 사람들도 자주 지나치지만 dialect나 말이 빨라 잘 알아듣지는 못해도, 어렴풋이 "아, 한국어구나" 하고 Recognition 할 수 있는 정도입니다.

Early Heat Wave and Modest Progress

It was another early start to the week, but the extreme heat during the day left me completely drained on my way home, so I skipped my workout.

ICT Study

I barely got through my AI and IT studies today, mostly just watching a YouTube video about physical AI.

Money Study

For my GFS finance studies, I kept working through the interview course. Today's guest has built up a decent amount of assets while maintaining a side business for investing. Because their portfolio extends beyond stocks to include cryptocurrency and real estate, their overall approach felt quite similar to my own.

Language Study

While I was supposed to stick to English, Chinese, and Spanish on Duolingo, I somehow ended up practicing French midway through. I wonder if the heat messed with my judgment.

一句话点评

在半导体和“物理 AI”（尤其是人形机器人）领域，中国企业的存在感正在不断增强，甚至在全球范围内也越来越突出，这似乎已经对美日企业构成了威胁。

Morning Guard Duty at the Beach

Today, I tried my hand at lifeguarding for the first time at Kasai Seaside Park—not to be confused with Kasai Rinkai Park, which is right next door! In short, the job involves keeping an eye on the beach to ensure everyone stays safe and follows the rules. Ideally, you should be certified, but since I am not yet, I might look into getting the qualification in the future.
The shift ran from 10:00 to 16:00, and keeping watch under the blazing sun was quite exhausting in its own way. I plan to join a few more times through August.

ICT Study

For my AI and IT studies, I watched a Udemy course on Claude again today, along with some Microsoft SC-500 preparation videos. While studying for the SC-500, I have also been using NotebookLM to review the concepts I do not fully understand. However, I am still figuring out whether this is truly an efficient way to learn, so I am just moving forward by experimenting day by day.

Money Study

Regarding my GFS personal finance studies, I watched a lecture explaining the U.S. market conditions for this year and continued watching the investor interview series I have been following. The lecture on the U.S. economy covered both recent developments and the outlook moving forward.
Personally, I am concerned that geopolitical tensions, such as a prolonged conflict involving Iran, could drag on. Depending on how things develop, the impact on Japan might even be greater than on the U.S.

Language Study

On Duolingo, I kept up with my English, Chinese, and French studies while I was on the move.

A Relaxing Day and Preparation

Today was the second day of the three-day weekend, so I took it easy and had a relaxing day. I am still recovering from yesterday's ocean swim practice. Since I will be participating in lifesaver training for the first time tomorrow—even though I am not certified yet—I decided to save my energy today. That said, I still went for a light 6.5 km jog in the evening.

ICT Study

For my AI and IT studies, I continued with the Udemy course on Claude and watched preparation videos for Microsoft's SC-500 exam. Additionally, I watched an archived live seminar from the AI Skills Academy on creating flyers using Gemini, Manus, and ChatGPT. When I tried it myself, I found it surprisingly easy to generate a clean, professional-looking flyer image. The Japanese text corruption that used to occur frequently no longer seems to be an issue.

Money Study

I also watched an archived live lecture from the GFS financial and investment course, focusing today on stock analysis. Separately, I researched whether I could sell some of my NFT holdings. Although I own a few NFTs, I do not see much value in them at the moment, so I thought it would be better to sell them to someone who appreciates their worth. However, it seems these specific NFTs cannot be listed on external marketplaces yet, so I will just wait and see for now.

Language Study

On Duolingo, I continued studying English, Chinese, and Korean, maintaining my routine from yesterday.

Open-Water Swim Training in Hiratsuka

On Saturday, I participated in an open-water swimming practice session with Ocean Swim in Hiratsuka. Since it had been a while since my last session, I struggled to maintain my pace during the final 750-meter time trial. This reminded me how crucial it is to consistent with my open-water training.

ICT Study

I moved forward with my AI and IT studies by watching a Udemy course on Claude and a preparation video for the Microsoft SC-500 exam.

Money Study

For my GFS financial studies, I watched the weekly Market Navi program along with a current news commentary.

Language Study

While on the move, I practiced English, Chinese, and Korean using Duolingo.

Hypoxic Training After Work

After work today, I went to a hypoxic training gym for a treadmill run.

ICT Study

For my AI and IT study, I watched an archived live seminar from the AI Skill Academy for the first time in a while. This session provided an overview of Claude's key features. Lately, I have been focusing heavily on learning about Claude.

Money Study

For my personal finance study with GFS, I listened to another interview-style lecture featuring a guest investor. I like this format because it is easy to follow, almost like listening to a radio show. Of course, that alone is not enough, so I plan to keep up with the more standard lectures as well.

Language Study

On Duolingo, I practiced English, Chinese, and Spanish while on the move. I also watched Spanish YouTube videos again today to work on my listening comprehension and build my vocabulary.

一句话点评

我查了一下今年FIFA世界杯中国队的参赛情况，遗憾的是，中国队和中华台北队都在预选赛阶段被淘汰了。

Indoor Zwift Session on a Humid Evening

I got held up at work today, so once I got home, I did an indoor Zwift ride. It was incredibly hot and humid, so I turned on the air conditioning—but even then, I was sweating profusely after about 30 minutes.

ICT Study

For my AI studies, I continued working through a Claude course on Udemy. It is packed with content, so it is taking me some time to complete. Afterward, I watched a Microsoft Azure security video while riding on Zwift.

Money Study

I did not focus on any financial studies today, dedicating my time instead to AI and language learning.

Language Study

During my commute, I practiced English, Chinese, and French on Duolingo. After dinner, I searched for and watched road-bike-related videos on YouTube in Chinese and French. Fortunately, both videos were relatively short.youtu.be

Commentaire en une phrase

Bien que les Français n'aient pas forcément la réputation d'être de grands acharnés, dès qu'il s'agit de cyclisme — comme avec le Tour de France —, ils se révèlent extrêmement passionnés.
