School has destroyed my time
Wow it has been almost two months since I have written anything in here. I kept on intending too but never got around to it due to the pile of school work that continues to mount on my desk.
I am taking four classes right now and also working full time in Dialysis. I am also adding on another class next semester so just when you think that It can not get any worse - BAM three more credit hours.
It’s okay though. School is very interesting - I am stressed but am learning all sorts of amazing things. I am taking Intermediate Algebra, Biology, Biopsychology, and Social Psychology. March first I am going to also begin human health and disease. A lot of science classes! I wish I could supplement with some fun classes but I am all out of electives. So - no more fun for me. Time to buckle down and knock all of this out of the ballpark.
Next semester is going to be even worse - and so on until I graduate and then! Med school - life’s little gift to us all. :)
Anyway - if I am disappeared again for a few months you will know why. I will make attempts to write more. It keeps the brain going and that is always good.
Thank you for reading! Share your thoughts with me on bluesky, mastodon, or via email.

“An absolute bare minimum of interactivity”
I mentioned Atari’s Pong recently, a game often considered to be the first videogame ever. It wasn’t, and as a matter of fact, it was a clone of one of the games from the first home console Magnavox Odyssey, released earlier in 1972: This is a 34-minute vi...

FDR has always been one of my favorite presidents, second maybe to Lincoln. Both were men the establishment assumed were one of them until, to their horror, they governed like they weren't. Both could trash the opposition in one breath and take the moral h...

It is widely accepted that there is an AI bubble in the financial markets at the moment. The moderate opinion is however that LLMs are constantly improving and will eventually take over more and more tasks from humans and increase productivity. But are LLM...
