Stock market has been falling continually. Why? Two primary reasons: > In this unusual global environment though, current reactions to India are increasingly being driven by our arrogant attitude to foreign capital and the lack of ease of doing business. www.msn.com/en-in/money...

Reading this book As an introvert, I am terrible at asking. Linda lays out, in an easy-to-understand format, how to know what you want and ask for it boldly. The book is full of: - questions - checklists - exercises I’ll be asking a lot.

Restarting developing my hobby project after exhausting OpenCode Go limits over the weekend. Let me see how it goes. I learn new things every day when I'm hands-on in using these AI tools.

This is how my OpenCode Go dashboard looks like now. Already exhausted weekly limit Waiting for it to reset in a day :-( Can't use Hermes over the weekend

Exhausted Opencode Go weekly limit Switched to free models for #hermes Surprisingly I don’t see any deterioration of overall performance Though I see chatty messages Don’t know if it is a function of Hermes itself or of underlying model

Is Enterprise Brain the next big offering? Bring disjointed information together Build and spread institutional knowledge Challenges will be security and access control

Panchkula has some really good cafés Our latest favourite is this Tasty food Good ambiance Quiet place to have good conversation

Developing this new app (taletoreel) completely using agents: • slack as interface • Hermes as agent • OpenCode Go as model provider As of now only landing page is here; Will share more as I go along What specifics would you want to know?

People keep declaring death of Indian IT industry. It keeps earning its place in investor's portfolio. As I have said again and again, Indian IT will not just survive, rather it will thrive. (Last week's news as compiled by my #hermes agent)

I used to spend hours reading different portals for relevant market news. Now #hermes does the job. Every Sunday, it picks the news and stores it in my Obsidian vault with citations (so I can read more if needed). One more banal manual task eliminated thanks to agents.

We are cows of the future — Harari No. We have creative capability. We have done this before. We will do it again. When you remove “imago dei,” this is what we end up with.

What is this graph depicting? - Stock market loss - Weight loss - Cognitive loss with AI - All of the above - None of the above

USV mapped mobile primitives in 2009. I’ve asked the same question for AI: chat, models, RAG, data, agents. Each is useful alone. Together, they create new behaviors no one predicted. Solomon was right: nothing new under the sun. But there are new combinations.

Is twitter blocked in India (possible) Or is it not available only for me?

Growth is now an engineering problem These are the trends I see in my work

When we have a govt like this, we don't need AI to kill Indian IT.

Should I be content, which leads to lethargy, or should I be ambitious, which seems to lead to pride and disappointment? This is how I resolved: www.jjude.com/contentment... bsky.app/profile/asm...

How I organise Hermes Wiki? I organise my life on four pillars: Wealth, Insights, Network, Self. My Hermes directory tree mirrors them. Consume feeds produce. Retro corrects decisions. Audit catches drift. More here: jjude.com/hermes-dire...

It was a long weekend. We spent the days in a nearby organic farm-house We read We ate We spent time together Good weekend

My 14-year-old son Jerry built an AI device on an ESP32: type a question on a tiny screen, Gemini answers on the device. No laptop, no phone. He coded it with AI help. Knowing fundamentals is what made debugging manageable. Watch: youtu.be/QpM8lzzdpiA

How about LLM models embedded with browser? www.webmodels.dev/ stateofutopia.com/experiments... Both bring the idea and implementation. Interesting times ahead. What do you think?

Month 2 of 100 km jogging done. September's 80–86% humidity made it brutal. Last time in July, I got sweat boils. Took August off. Back at it and finished strong.

Do you embody the books you've read all your life?

We are the living libraries

What is the most ambitious thing you are attempting with GenAI tools?

postmortem.io/ organized library of public engineering incident reports, postmortems, and shutdown writeups Very useful for software engineers.

Been using Hermes as a personal assistant for WINS: Wealth: screen stocks, track portfolio Insights: extract highlights from videos & articles Network: not much here Self: track health data, run weekly reviews Skills I use: skills.jjude.com/ Changelog: hermeslog.jjude.com/ Hope they’re useful.

Your first 5 years are shaped by 3 types of leaders. The Perfectionist. The Innovator The Norm-Breaker  Which ones shaped you?  From my conversation with Meenakshi S on Gravitas WINS Radio.  Full episode → youtube.com/watch?v=AmE...

The more I use Hermes The less I doom scroll on social media Surprising And I am gaining and learning a lot as I use Hermes more

ChatGPT tries to be too helpful, and in doing so, it complicates simple tasks. It’s like an investment agent who keeps talking smoothly to get more money from you the longer you keep talking.

I’ve been running my life on four pillars—WINS: Wealth, Insights, Network, and Self. Hermes helps me with each of these. I wrote a series of blog posts on how I use Hermes: www.jjude.com/tech-notes/... I also edited and wrote a mini guide on my usage. Hope you find it useful: jjude.in/hermesguide
