Just getting onto nostr, and learning.. stained glass is my hobby, electronics tech for the career

Currently watching Philip K Dick’s Electric Dreams. And so far I’ve got say it’s awesome, and close to, if not better than black mirror

An actual rainbow, not the flag.. although I didn’t capture it in the picture, it went to the horizon on both sides

#photos #grownostr

A experiment fusing glass this weekend, these are scraps from the day job..#grownostr #glass #hobby

That wasn’t anywhere near the best lightning.. I’m just glad i I actually got some pics

Some cool pics from a recent storm..

I’ve heard several people mention nostr as the new Internet, and that got me to thinking how would nostr work as/with mesh networks and actually replace the Internet as we know it.

Replying to Avatar Guy Swann

Prediction: AI is going to be a revolutionary *interface* to the ocean of software and tools we already use (including those that build more software and tools) that will unlock vast amounts of application function that is simply lost due to illiteracy and a far too vast information space.

Check out how Microsoft Copilot works: AI is more akin to the revolution in computer interfacing that the mouse and keyboard were, or that multi-touch was for the smartphone revolution, than it is a standalone app with some new specific functionality. It will end up being a computer (or internet) wide, contextually relevant knowledge base for how to use any and all of the tools available to you, as if it's all just a single, universal UI system to accomplish whatever you need at any moment.

AI will be able to use ALL of our apps, better than you we for most of them because it doesn't have to "learn" them. To the point that we might not need to bother to ever know how to use many apps, programs, CLI tools, or functions on our computers, because if the AI knows how to accomplish what we are looking for by using them, why bother?

Think about it like a calculator: Why learn how to manually do long division when it's just the "divide" button on one of numerous devices always within reach? Or having a physical map: why remember directions when you have a live map with traffic updates at all times in your pocket. One that speaks directions out loud?

This same relationship is about to apply to basically any or all software on your computer. It can integrate with web requests, run conversions, knows all the commands in your command line by heart and which ones will help in your current task, it will predict what you might need next, it can accomplish short, simple tasks that you might have needed an app or extension to accomplish before, but now AI can create a script or executable on the fly, specific to the exact situation & instance in which you need the functionality... so then why save it? The AI can just write and execute new code next time, that is specific to the next situation.

I bet that in just a few short years, interacting with a computer *without* an interfacing AI will feel like trying to sprint in knee deep water. This is going to put a 2x-4x growth trend every year in user speed and capacity to accomplish their goals **on top** of Moore's law's already exponential increase in *computing* power.

AI will create an exponential growth of *user* power on top of the already exponential growth in *computational* power.

Check out “Life Force” by Tony Robbins, he and his coauthors discuss the medical advances that are about to begin exponential growth as medicine becomes more digital and technology driven. From 3D printed organs, to drug discovery… there are huge changes coming

I agree, but there’s more to happiness than just having money.. I remember reading that having money can buy freedom, what we do with that freedom is the important part

Quote of the Day

"Happiness is not in the mere possession of money; it lies in the joy of achievement, in the thrill of creative effort."

President Franklin D. Roosevelt

Thought some of the free market libertarians would find the humor in this

Is anybody here using keet?

The latest stained glass project I did. This is a lamp, with outlets on the base.

Another stained glass project

This was a custom piece made for a neighbor, who was a godsmack fan

From an email this morning

Let me remind you that 15 minutes a day is 5,475 minutes a year. That’s 91 hours. That’s more than TWO full-time week’s of work.

Throw 30 minutes a day at reading and you’re at over 10,000 minutes and nearly 200 hours of reading. That’s a MONTH of full-time work reading PER YEAR. If you read 40 pages an hour, that’s 8,000 (!) pages or 40 200-page books a year.

So…

One of my stained glass projects, that I gave to a friend for a housewarming gift.
