beckon you, but to feel the fire and intensity that still live in you... and the heavy weight of your burdens which I had once borne. There is truth you know, friend, if that's all you seek but there's no justice or judgment without which truth is a vast... dead... hollow.

Go back. Do not look into the abyss or let the abyss look into you; awaken the sleep of reason and fight the monsters within and without.”

Using Claude with a 2nd brain requires easy updates; so maintaining the brain in a personal repo with a claude skill "brain-pull", which updates the local brain and then installs it, is the way I do it. All machines can use this skill, so all machines stay updated.

The Tesla roadster flying car thing is great. What I foresee is emergency services being able to jump over traffic and obstacles.

Interviewing someone for a dev/engineer position: have a repo ready with built in faults to solve. Readme describes the repo, tests, setup, and interview itself. They drive their own system or guide one of our team members. All answers exist in the repo. Excellent gauge.

Season 2 of Dark Matter is a snooze fest. First off, Jennifer Connelly is boring in each scene. I have to fast forward a lot. And nothing but dialog and tears. Season 1 was better. More tension. I care zero amounts for this season.

I just watched Space X's solid rocket booster land itself upright, in the exact center of a concrete pad, in a very stiff crosswind, and I want all the people who cheer for socialism and communism to realize that the state has never, ever accomplished such a feat, and never could. This level of innovation is the hallmark of a capitalist system driven by meritocracy and rewards for individual excellence. We live in the greatest country in the world and we're not going to let you drag us back into the stone age.

It was 11:04 and the bus would come at 11:34. The route would take me south. I did something crazy and started walking south and will let the bus catch up with me. Then I’ll get on.
