2026 Vision Board Goals Sketch

Prompt: A detailed blue ballpoint pen sketch of knolling for my 2026 vision board featuring the following items on lined notebook paper: 1. Kubernets serve AI agents 2. NASA Fprime project development 3. Reading the Gravitation physical theory book 4. Use bmppc pocket cinema camera to get more cinematic footage. 5. Improve My 3D CAD design tech 6. Learning Robotics theory and practices in the real world The drawing uses cross-hatching for shading and has a realistic but hand-drawn doodle aesthetic. There is a bright yellow highlighter outline glowing around the subject. Surrounding the subject are playful handwritten text annotations with arrows pointing to specific details of the subject. The background is white paper with horizontal blue lines and a vertical red margin line, visible paper texture.

Where Is the Consciousness Come From

The enigma of consciousness has long been a subject of fascination, yet its fundamental nature remains a mystery. Recent research suggests that quantum mechanics may hold the key to understanding the origins of consciousness. In this blog post, we’ll explore the intriguing proposal that quantum processes create conscious experience, and delve into the latest ideas on this topic. The Problem of Consciousness: Consciousness is more than just a product of intelligence; it’s a subjective experience that cannot be reduced to mere computations. The disconnect between intelligence and consciousness is a long-standing puzzle, as anyone who has experienced pain can attest – it absorbs all our conscious awareness, yet nothing particularly intelligent is going on. The hard sciences have been skeptical about this topic due to the lack of a protocol to measure conscious experiences independently. ...

Drive my personal robot

DJI RoboMaster EP At the beginning of the year I planned to spend six months researching autonomous driving, and computer graphics, so I started researching hardware for developing autonomous driving systems. The first thing I considered was the jetbot that was open when nvidia released the jetson nano platform in 2019, which is basically a toy car equipped with a 3D printed body, two small wheels, and a jetson nano developer kit, a camera, and official project address, considering the cost needed to build the entire car hardware platform and the playability, I decided not to consider a toy-like solution for the car robot, and finally I aimed at the DJI robomaster EP because It opened up the complete SDK, and the whole robot platform was designed for educational competitions, which is very rich in playability and does not require too much thinking about the underlying hardware assembly itself. This allowed me to take a page from jetbot’s autopilot design and port it to the robomaster EP to create the most original autopilot development platform. ...

AI Is Not AI

OpenAI ChatGPT Reference DeepMind Reference InstructGPT Reference The most talked about topic I’ve seen on Twitter lately is ChatGPT, and many people are raving about it. For a creator to use AI in their creative process to quickly prototype their work is certainly a great thing in the business world. chatGPT can add inspiration to screenwriters, give problem solvers ideas, and give translators help with more accurate language translations. So does ChatGPT count as AI in the true sense of the word, i.e. does it pass the Turing test. Although we don’t know the answer, we can be sure that ChatGPT must have collected huge amount of Internet data for model training, and the parameters of the final model are amazingly huge. ...

ETH Mainnet Merge - PoW to PoS

Ethereum mainnet merge In August this year, the ETH goerli test network was merged 2.0, I also participated in the test network merge, the whole process was successful, I used lighthouse as the ETH Consensus layer, geth as the Execution layer, the current test network running validator node status is good. In the coming September, the main ETH network will be merged with 2.0, and I also ran the Consensue Layer and Execution Layer separately, so I hope this major merger will be completed successfully. ...
