- V – show/hide controller.
When You’re Thinking, You’re Actually Listening
I thought this was good: When You’re Thinking, You’re Actually Listening. It’s about how that voice in your head isn’t you; you’re the listener.
Pen Plotter Robot
I am so impressed! This guy made his own robot: story.md.

In this video I unbox my new Kingston FURY Beast White 128GB (4x32GB) 5600MT/s CL40 DDR5 XMP DIMM | Overclocking | Plug N Play | Intel XMP 3.0 | Kit of 4 | KF556C40BWK4-128.
This is the replacement RAM I ordered after the Corsair RAM debacle (wherein they sold me scrap metal, not RAM, really, you wouldn’t dream of it!)
You can read about Kingston FURY Beast DDR5 Memory and find the KF556C40BWK4-128 specs (PDF). There is also warranty information and memory installation instructions.
You can learn more about memory timings, particularly CAS Latency.
Today I managed to double the RAM in ‘charisma‘ from 64GB to 128GB and also double the RAM in ‘treat‘ from 16GB to 32GB. A productive day!

Stuff Made Here
Today I discovered a new YouTube channel Stuff Made Here. They had this fun video: What if we made a camera that sees in reverse?
Homework
This is a part of the homework feature of my blog, which is an ongoing conversation with my mate S.F.
Hey mate. Lovely to see you again, as always.
First, two things from last time which I forgot to write up:
I mentioned Veritasium which is a video blog of interest.
I have a note here that says “ASI”. And that’s all it says. Not sure what that was about?
I did consider writing my response to Mark Fisher‘s work Capitalist Realism (which is available on the web here), but in researching him and his work this evening I have learned that he died by suicide in 2017. I think suicide is the worst thing ever and I can’t bring myself to write something which tears strips off people who are no longer here to respond. (I intend to read Mark’s PhD thesis Flatline constructs: Gothic materialism and cybernetic theory-fiction.)
You mentioned Pick of the Litter, noting that dogs are trained to sometimes ignore the command of their master, particularly when it wouldn’t be safe.
One good thing about arguments with friends is that there is always time to pee.
Norvig’s Law: Any technology that surpasses 50% penetration will never double again (in any number of months).
This marketing dude Rory Sutherland is actually quite impressive. I hadn’t expected as much from someone in advertising! He has given a number of TED talks and there are many interviews with him on YouTube.
The documentary about the 2008 financial crisis that I mentioned was Inside Job. Not to be confused with the TV series with the same name (which is excellent, by the way).
My favorite philosopher of the day is Iain McGilchrist. I suspect my own beliefs and preferences diverge from those of McGilchrist but I do really enjoy his thought. I have watched a number of interviews with Iain McGilchrist. He has written a number of books, a few of which I have purchased and intend to read: The Matter With Things: Our Brains, Our Delusions and the Unmaking of the World, The Master and His Emissary: The Divided Brain and the Making of the Western World, and The Divided Brain and the Search for Meaning.
The book Thinking, Fast and Slow by psychologist Daniel Kahneman demarcates two systems of thinking: one fast and automatic, the other slow and deliberative.
The quotation “the stupid are cocksure, while the intelligent are full of doubt” is variously attributed (including to Bertrand Russell).
Check out Mr Inbetween, it’s really excellent!
Love you my brother, see you on Christmas Day! <3
