I love when old tech resurfaces and the professionals get to realize that the history of their domains, disciplines, and its innovations really IS critical to being better at what you do. Here is a great example from a channel on Youtube and I hope they do one on stop motion with sound synch and SFX so that Mike Jittlov finally gets the public recognition he richly deserves and has been largely bilked of all his dang life. This one is about a fellow putting it all on the line to reintroduce sodium vapor light as superior technology to green […]
Why I stay with Bluesky
Sharing the SWSX live stream because when you compare this narrative to the ones of the other platforms, particularly its currently open and free access and personalizing configuration (still unfolding), it becomes clear this is emergent possibility for better and more refined functionality than we’ve managed to see scale successfully. It’s an exciting time. Lots of opportunity. I’ve been yelling since the BBS days about the need to stipulate and protect a concept that is today called ‘protocols’ (that’s another article) as an emergent technology that genuinely can and likely will return personal power and certainly digital dignity (not Lanier’s […]
Why I am so frustrated about working…
This image demonstrates the major categories of thinking desired by business and recommended by business management research and analysis: I offer all four across both diverse domains and specifically in technology; application and systems software analysis, design, development, and delivery and still I’ve been out of work since 2017. It is maddening. I cannot access the degrees that this world demands to ‘believe’ you’re good at something, even though I have thirty years, a portfolio of samples from 1999 to roughly 2011 (before the NDA work largely put an end to portfolio demonstrations). No one is interested. Over 5,000 resumes […]
Playing with Perplexity
Playing with Perplexity is fun. I think I’m going to build a library of conversations in which it demonstrates me back to myself; this is how this autistic brain uses LLM/AI ethically but also how I have traditionally taught myself by rapidly implementing meta-communication that lays down shared track ahead of the actual conversation. I can do this with LLM because LLM doesn’t mandate I adhere to neuronormative protocol, just a logical expression by language that, for the first time in my entire life, is actually getting my syntax and phrasing and everything; it gets my levels in language in […]
Lost & Found: My Journey Through Chaos and Discovery of Myself (#Neurodivergent)
It’s been a few years since I was on LinkedIn. It’s been a few years since I felt alive. For some time, I felt like I’d vanished from all knowing. No one knew where I was or what I was going through. It was as if I’d become invisible. And in many ways, I had. My identity, my sense of self, was fragmented and lost amid the chaos. You see, 2017 hit me like a sledgehammer; Allostatic (over)load and an ACE of 10/10 finally caught up with me and I just… crashed. That sentence does not do the horror show […]
Certifiably certified (CSPO)
As of end of day, yesterday, I am officially a Certified Scrum Product Owner. What does that mean? According to the Scrum Alliance, it means: Earning the CSPO means you have validated scrum knowledge and understand the product owner accountability on a scrum team. Mind, this is the initial certification and there is a path leading to two more, but as this is the entry level certification and I already have over 20 years of experience, I’m not sure how much further I wish to proceed on my own dime. Demonstration of proficiency was the goal and I have accomplished […]
Linux Mint & Me
Yesterday, I finally decided it was time to be done with Microsoft. Between pricing and privacy, I just cannot justify giving them any more of my money and I’m sick and tired of playing ‘whack a mole’ with their oft covert actions that either compromise my privacy choices without telling me, or retroactively remove them and hope I never notice. (I do. Shame on you. Done with you, too.) So, after consideration, I landed on Mint with Cinnamon on top and to be quite frank, nearly every issue I had with them in the past (i.e., poor GUI/UI design, convoluted […]
The Machine Must Sleep
The latest advance in artificial intelligence lies in the effort to reduce energy costs and compute requirements by introducing a spiking processing that increases efficiency of processing and thus, lowers energy costs.
A New Threat Emerges (retrolanguage©)
I wish I could say I am being overly fretful. I am not.
A solid look at artificial general intelligence (AGI)
Likely one of the best overviews I’ve seen to date, though there will be new competitors once the major hurdles are overcome.
