Any conversation

for those new here, this is my other project, online ! come for a dance! ~~~~~> <~~~~~

Be there in a bit. Hanging out with .

Seeing Hallucinate brought to mind . 😅

Yes! I was thinking of doing the same, see .

Productive weekend started four hours ago for me (at 06:00 EDT). Visited aunties and mum. Just got home, and waiting for wife to finish preparing to get on the road again. Next destination: nursing home (visit family, and “adopted” elders).

I HEARD A GREAT HORNED OWL. one of my birding goals is to see any owl outside a zoo. I just moved here and the lack of birds near our home has made me sad. but hearing this owl was such a fun surprise tonight.

That’s awesome. There’s an owl (don’t know type) that hangs out at the playground in our neighborhood at night. First time I saw it, I stood frozen in place, amazed that it would be out in the open. Then as I walked away, I kept looking behind me, realizing I’d never hear it coming if it decided to engage 🦉

Merlin Bird ID is magical. Put it in your pocket for the next encounter. If anything, you'll have your phone out ready to throw like a stone in the event you have to roll a die to evade and attack.

Thanks for the tip! you'll have your phone out ready to throw like a stone😂

anyone else seriously into agentic loop development?

I've been working with physical AI - Letting LLMs control robots in a warehouse to collaborate and collectively come up with a physically correct solution to carry out a natural language intent. We had to study the reactive nature of agents, nudges they required, etc.

that's awesome and near my heart. I kicked off a personal project emergingrobotics.ai

haha that's a coincidence. Site looks awesome. The moving away from ROS2 part is so true. One of our main potential customers for physical AI solutions (a telecom provider in JP) communicated the need for agents to be able to pick up controls from any vendor

…

I apologize if that sounded obvious/non-obvious/amateurish haha. I was an intern and worked more on the agentic side of things, it was just a non-primary experiment

I recently made a 10 foot sailboat and took it on a fifty-mile adventure in the Salish Sea. I can still feel the way the wind pushed the boat over the water. I kept imagining the way that our progress was the sum of the vectors of wind, current, and gravity.

Sailing feels amazing. Wind, current, and gravity are pretty good analogies for our path in life. Thanks for sharing. Enjoy your future sailing trips.

It is never the who say we know everything we need to know but always the or the

In my opinion, it's because there's always something more to know, especially in science-related fields.

…

it'll always be that way, sadly

The scientist's job is to never stop searching. The leader's job is to stop searching and decide. Trouble starts when either forgets the other exists.

I am trying to wrap my head around Traefik (which I have never used; have only used Caddy for most of my needs) to plan a migration for things I now run on "bare metal” to containers, and then use Traefik as entry point. If you know some good guides, send the link my way, please.

hello folks

Yellow world

I like this concept

I finally got the app!!

shower thought: swap 'is a model' for 'is constructed' and postmodernism suddenly becomes a lot more palatable without losing much of its core message.

been building a voice first os using jev and some small voice models. I'm surprised how well it's working and I'm very close to the point where I can go into a feedback mode and tell it what behavior I want changed, it will spin up Claude or codex inside itself and setup the build to restart itself and continue with new code. tempted to let it build itself completely

It sounds amazing! A voice first OS was also in my mind. Curious to hear more!

For 30 years, productivity sky-rocketed with the advancement of automation and computing. Meanwhile, a decline in longevity was observed, correlated to sleep depravation. Productivity improvement goes to the owners class' pockets, sleep benefits the workers health.

For 30 years, productivity skyrocketed through automation, yet longevity plummeted as a direct result of sleep deprivation. While these gains accrue to the owner class, sleep remains an undervalued element of the worker's health. We are trading life expectancy for chump change.

i was under the impression life expectancy has been steadily increasing over the last century, where are these quotes from? and which date?

…

That said, in Canada working class started loosing life expentancy for the 3rd year in a row, and WHO figures show a decline in improvement of life expentancy globally. But hey, I am just a no-one on the internet spewing bs :)

a decline in the improvement of life expectancy isn't the same as a decline in life expectancy, it's just that it's improving less fast now, we might be reaching biological limits however?

We tought for years that there was a biological ceiling for sprinters or marathon runners for example, with research backing it, but every one record was shattered. I tend to be cautious of biological explanations.

replied to(deleted account):

I am pretty sure confience is what is at work in my case. Did you try something specific to improve in that regard?

…

Isn't the medical advancements in preventive medicine and accessibility to healthcare increases the life expectancy?

Цветок розы не издает голоса, а благоухание его далеко расходится молча; так надо жить и всем христианам. —Святитель Феофан Затворник

The rose flower makes no sound, but its fragrance spreads far and wide in silence; so should all Christians live. —St. Theophan the Recluse

Body's awake, eyes are sleepy. Mind's awake, brain is sleepy.

After everything's awake and a good kind of sore. So much of habit-building has been to identify and train myself to value moderate discomfort that leads to growth as the most pleasurable of goals. Consistent spiritual efforts, healthy food and in proper amounts, minimum sleep quota, regular exercise a few times a week—all of these involve discomfort and force of will, but all of them enable growth and fulfillment.
