We live in one of the best of all possible timelines. The AI apocalypse is a doomsday fantasy. The real future of Al is one of progress, problem-solving, and potential. It's not perfect, but it's our responsibility to shape it in a positive direction. #optimism #thecure #ai #apocolypse #science #history #timeline #scifi #dystopian #utopia #thefuture #evidencebased #positivity #selfimprovement #selffulfilling
How much difference can one person make? I mean doesn't it statistically all get whitewashed into one inevitable historical path? Nope! The subtlety and nuance brought to the story of how things play out makes all the difference. Pay attention to your own subtlety and nuance in life. Tweak your behavior to make more of the type of difference you want to see play out. #optimism #makeadifference #history #science #psychology #turing #ai #computing #carpediem #humanity #future #thefuture #butterflyeffect
I discuss MyKoz.AI, a system to get you started with daily journaling using the vim text editor under Linux Terminal, as well as Python in your Windows web browser using Jupyter Notebooks served from the Windows Linux side for true Cloud compatible Python. It's a whole timeless tech skills for life approach based on the old school stuff that never goes away and has very little interface changes that interfere with muscle memory, so you can get forever better throughout your life. It's all based on free and open source software that doesn't really even need the Windows host, so it is a way to hedge your bets and have a contingent plan against the vendor trap and planned obsolescence of proprietary systems. #Linux #Python #vim #NeoVim #AI #Journaling #Jupyter #JupyterLab #selfimprovment #selfimprovementdaily
This Pi.AI conversation compares the lift effect created by the Bernoulli effect to the flapping wings of birds and insects, including birds like the Albatross that work like airplanes and drones like DelFly and RoboBee that work like ornithopters or flapping wing micro air vehicles (FWMAVs). I look at swarming and baton passing power distribution schemes to make chains of such drones of unlimited length and high altitude pseudo satellites (HAPs) that could use solar for power and beam excess down as a power grid. #Science #AI #Drones #Satellites #postscarcity #futurism
This is a discussion with api.AI starting out with the general intelligence level of people in light of the Internet, doom scrolling and short form media. It then evolves into a discussion of whether listening on LIGO might have a similar quality as the SETI program. It makes sense that extraterrestrial life would broadcast with a longer range technology than what plagues electromagnetic signals: rapid signal decay over distance. Gravity waves, especially the lower bandwidth ones, should be able to travel across the Galaxy and is a better candidate to listen to. It also might be omnidirectional which is unlikely to be the case with signals encoded with electromagnetism. #Science #Ligo #SETI #Gravity #Intelligence

Get started quickly with the Linux version of Python, Jupyter Notebook, and the text editor vim & version control system git. Learn timeless skills and maximize your productivity with this unique approach. #mindfulness #focus #windows #productivity #lifehacks #reset #stoicism #aesthetic #calm #tech #technology #digitalnomad #futureproof #selfimprovement #Habits #continuousimprovement
You can make the best of
almost any situation, but it
takes mindfulness and intent.
This doesn't come easy.
It comes best when journaling,
but there are dozens of
show-stoppers, from media
selection to discipline.
How many times have you
started writing only to stall
out?
I've been journaling for 30
years, and evolved a timeless
solution that helps you in all
walks of life.
You make a Linux subsystem on
whatever hardware you're
using, and that subsystem
stays with you for life.
Get good at things there, and
it can never be taken away.

If you're thinking of starting fresh with something new that can't be rendered obsolete anytime soon, then this is it.
It's an exercise in mindfulness and journaling, that addresses many of the problems surrounding effective journaling for life.
We start on Windows but we can start on anything that can host Linux. This includes Mac, ChromeBooks or any modern laptop.
You can start with what you've got, but I recommend a Factory Reset, software strip-down and distraction-free rebuild.
This sets the stage to auto-build your new nomadic digital home that will live on with you, providing a free life-long journal.

Are you on Windows or Mac?
Then you can be on Linux too!
No, not as new Desktop, but as
a way to keep all the skills
and muscle memory you develop
working for you for life.
Don't let all that work you
invest into something new go
to waste due to some major
fad-shift or version upgrade.
It's a myth that EVERYTHING'S
a moving target. You CAN get
better at a small set of
timeless tools for life.
Build on the fundamentials so
key that Microsoft had to
build their own mortal enemy,
Linux, into Windows 10 and 11.
You'll get to ALL-POWERFUL vim
like I'm using here, but first
I'll get you onto a Linux
version of Python through the
browser.

Use Linux Command Line? Resist obsolescence? Future-proof?
What do you mean, Mike?
User interfaces change. The way we interact with computers changes.
This is different than the way we interact with the world. The world is relatively stable. You get to get better at things over time.
You see this in tools like the hammer. The hammer has been around for a long time. The way we use it doesn't change much. The hammer doesn't go from a dropdown menus to a ribbon to a hamburger menu to docking palates. Tabs don't switch from horizontal to vertical and keyboard shortcuts don't change between versions. A hammer is just a hammer. #Linux #MuscleMemory #Habits #continuousimprovement

So you want to resist obsolesence and future-proof yourself? And you know that means getting your butt onto Linux. But you are paralyzed by all the decisions you have to make? Ironically, Microsoft gives you the way. Just reset any old hardware you have to factory default, and use it as a stripped-down Windows 10 Host OS to run a Microsoft endorsed and supported Ubuntu version of Linux as a Windows Subsystem. It's easy peasy and reduces the switching shock. #Linux #MakingTheSwitch #SwitchToLinux #WSL #WSL2 #Windows10 #WindowsSubsystemForLinux #ResetPC #FactoryDefault
Start on the journey of resisting obsolescence. Future proof yourself with the very Linux tools Microsoft provides. Learn the actual tech that runs the AI's. If you don't know Linux, you don't know JACK. The good news is you can start picking up Linux easily enough. It just takes opening a Powershell window and typing the one humble command: wsl --install
Can you believe how easy Microsoft made it to jump ship? Now you can have the ALL IMPORTANT Linux Terminal living comfortably withn the world's most popular Desktop Platform, Windows. Whether you're on Windows 10 or 11, this trick works equally well. However, I advocate starting to turn whatever's running Linux into an optional "Host OS" in your mind, and as such should be as unobtrusive and distracting as possible. And a stripped-down Windows 10 is objectively less distracting than Windows 11.
Whether or not you're "resetting" your Host OS back to scratch, it's as easy as opening a Powershell and typing "wsl --install", so go ahead and do it.

What I'm teaching here is how to use Windows 10 or really any other OS that you're comfortable with as a Host OS for Linux, which sports the fixed-position muscle memory advantage, thanks to the Unix-like Linux Command Line Interface, on which all modern tech is based, still to this day. You will never go obsolete, even given the rise of the machines, if you get good at the CLI or Linux Terminal.
