I treat this similar to the way I treat giving a speech or presentation. I practice and practice. I build 'material' that I can refer to again and again. This is how standup comedians and people who give talks for a living do it!

For example if I know I need to explain Blockchain to someone I would sit down before-hand and write a simple explanation, rehearse it until I memorize it, then I would explain it to the person, the first time I explain it I might be slow and rusty, but if I have to explain it to another person I will be a bit better, etc. etc. so by the time someone else asks me to explain it, I sound like a genius :)

This can apply to Technical, Scientific, Personal, and any kind of content/concepts really. You can use this practice to improve your social skills too and tell interesting stories!

Do you need the entire codebase to be 'active' to do your work? if it's all based on maven can you import only the maven modules/projects you are working on, and link everything else as dependencies?

The reason distributed/decentralized things fail isn't because of the BS reasons this article gives. In my opinion it is about - Usability: open source UI and UX sucks for the most part... build an amazing UI and user experience and users will come.

- Do NOT expect people to download and setup software and run nodes... Can you build it in the universal piece of software that everybody has today.. AKA browser ? I think whoever nails these challenges will win.

- I think somebody (maybe me) should build such a 'universal browser' that allows all of these decentralized things to happen. I was thinking Brave would be that browser.. but I'm not sure..

Wondering if it's possible to use GPU instead of/in addition to CPU and what would be the impact on performance of site.

I think this is a really great idea! I'd rather have sites do this then bombard me with 10000 banners. Sure it increases my CPU load but I'd argue it reduces my cognitive load!

Checkout Bulletproof diet https://blog.bulletproof.com/start-the-bulletproof-diet/ it's amazing, a stricter version of Paleo.

In a nutshell: Veggies, limited fruits (1 serving per day), some protein (red meat, lamb, fish, chicken (go for organic and grass fed for meat if you can)), good healthy fats (coconut oil, MCT oil, some butter)

avoid anything and everything that comes in packaging. Packaging and long shelf life = preservatives, additives and all that crap.

Here are a couple of awesome examples: Affiliate Marketer https://www.smartpassiveincome.com/ Patt is awesome, he actually shares his monthly income and expense statements. Started solo and now he hired a bunch of people.

Thanks for your feedback Tariq. To give you some context:

-I have taken AI as a course in the past (college 10 years ago), and I'm a computer engineer so I have the basics of ML,AI,etc. and I'm familiar with the libraries that are out there and the body of knowledge.

- I find that when you go deep into a particular topic or field and read lots of research you tend to become immersed and start to think like everyone else in the field. There is some wisdom to Zen's mind beginner's mind and I wanted to let that Beginner's mind explore freely and express its thoughts before my reimmersion in the research.

- I will definitely look at Mario Lives video thanks for pointing it out.

- I guess I was looking for someone to challenge the ideas as ideas more than challenge my credentials / approach but it's all fair.

- I'm not interested in solving a particular problem at this point in time in AI. I think everyone is taking this angle and everyone is trying to do this. I'm already in Tech, in a fairly good position, and solving real customer problems. I'm simply following my curiosity and a more grandeur goal and doing it just for the sake of following my curiosity.

Hi folks, This is something that I put together yesterday. Appreciate your thoughts and feedback
