So this question is from Amy and it says, I've heard I need to make sacrifices to achieve my goals. This seems to contradict what you talk about. Like I said, I do contradict that in my videos. Isn't some degree of sacrifice necessary to achieve excellence? So that's Amy's question and I'm going to address it here because I think it's a really good question. Do we have to make sacrifices in order to achieve our goals? Do we have to make sacrifices in order to achieve excellence? So we're talking about excellence. The short answer is it's kind of complicated but I'm going to ultimately say no, we do not want to have any mentality of making sacrifices or a sense of sacrifice when we're going after our goals. And the other thing is that it's not even necessary. In fact it's it's just an unhealthy way to think about achieving excellence. If someone said to you, it's important to achieve a state of excellence, we can have a reaction to that. It's like, oh god, that's for special people. That's not for ordinary people like me, right? But excellence is a very subjective thing and whatever excellence means to each of us in our own individual personal life is what we're talking about here. We're not talking about some societal standard of excellence. Excellence is what excellence means to us individually. So in that regard, excellence is important. Why not achieve excellence if we're the ones that are defining it? So in terms of how do we actually achieve a state of excellence, I have two things I always talk about and the formula I use for excellence is focus plus boundaries or maybe that's focus multiplied by boundaries. There are two factors involved. To achieve any excellence, any state of excellence, any level of excellence, we have focus and boundaries. Those are the two things. Now if we can combine those two things together, we will inevitably achieve a level of excellence in whatever it is we put our mind to. So the first thing, focus, why is focus so important? And maybe that's what some people mean by sacrifice. They mean you cut out a lot of the distractions, the things that are important. What I really mean by focus and why I think focus is so important is, well, if you're going to achieve excellence, okay, you need to have focus. If you're focused, you're going to arrive at a mindset of simplicity. Focus means, look, there's only one thing I'm really focused on here, moving towards and that one thing, only having one thing that you're focused on leads to a feeling of simplicity, okay? There's no confusion. And when there's simplicity, a sense of no confusion, inevitably you're going to succeed in whatever that thing is. See, it's the doubt and it's the uncertainty in goal attainment that makes it very, very difficult and makes us tend to fail in that. So focus is a thing because it gives you a sense of simplicity, okay? So we do want to be focused. You know, this, to be excellent in one thing, think of someone who's excellent. Like, again, we're not comparing ourselves to these people, but like think of Lionel Messi or, you know, Ronaldo or some musician or scientist or whoever who has achieved a state of excellence, a writer maybe, they tend to be focused really on whatever that is, whatever the thing is you're doing. So they have a sense of focus on, but the thing is it gives them a sense of simplicity in life. So that's what we want to achieve here, okay? That's the really important thing. It's not necessarily you win brownie points for sacrificing things. It just gives you a sense of simplicity. So that's the first thing. Now, the other thing is, okay, if I'm focused and I have a sense of simplicity, there's only one thing I'm really moving towards. How can we remain balanced with that attitude? Because that sounds like it's going to become obsessive. It's going to become unhealthy. And this is where our boundaries come in. So it's almost as if we're going to be only consciously focused on one thing. So that's our conscious attention. What about it? Is there another type of attention that we're not talking about here? The way I put this is the obligated mind, that's something we have. And that's in charge of having a goal, a very clear goal. It's a conscious goal. It's a rational mind mindset that we find ourselves in in the obligated mind. And this is the other mindset we have is the spontaneous mind. And that's much more intuitive. The spontaneous mind, you could describe it more as Carl Jung would say, it's the feminine. And the obligated mind is much more of a masculine mindset. Each of us has that within ourselves. But we want to have a balance. You can still be focused solely on one goal, and that's your obligated mind. But the boundary comes in with, I have a space where I step out of that into this more spontaneous mindset. So I don't let the conscious one goal that I have monopolize my entire life. I leave space to do it. I have standards around that. But then I step away from it into something else. And the thing is, the spontaneous mind is given charge of all the other life areas. You know, you can be super focused on one specific goal. But you know, we all know that there are multiple other areas of life. So the spontaneous mind is given authority in how those things should be organized for us. It's much more intuitive. It's much more about standards and rule setting and things of that nature. It's not typically addressed in terms of standards and rules. It's much more about intuition. It's how do I feel? Can I actually proactively remove as many rules and restrictions around my time in the spontaneous mind? If we can have a balance between these two things, hopefully you can see here that it is possible to be focused on one thing, and also have a space in your life where you're coming out of that obligated mind, because it's not healthy to be in that mindset all the time, and you're moving into addressing other areas of your life, but just with a different psychological frame or a different mindset. So those are the two things. Again, the formula here is focus plus boundaries. Boundaries are around that focused goal. Then you step away from it, and you're into this spontaneity mindset that we're talking about here. So some people think, well, look, I can have my obligated mind, my masculine frame around this, but I find it hard to switch off and let go of all these other areas and give them over to this intuitive mindset. The thing about excellence is, though, if you are focused on one goal and you're achieving a state of excellence in that goal, there tends to be a kind of a positive emotional effect or a positive emotion you get. You get a sense of momentum and that positive momentum, that sense of growth in this one area allows you to be more willing to step away from overly controlling these other areas of your life. It's almost as if the psychological momentum you're gathering over here kind of spills over into other areas and you become more willing to let go of micromanaging them and controlling them all the time. So this excellence that we achieve, it does lead to a willingness to let go of control of all these other areas because you're exercising a level of control here. Some degree of control, some degree of obligation, some degree of that rational masculine mindset is useful, very useful, until it becomes, you know, if you have your whole day in that mindset, it becomes very unhealthy. So, Amy, I hope that answers your question. I think you talked about a sense of sacrifice. With the approach I take of having these two mindsets, there is no sacrifice. We have focused attention, move towards your goal, but we have boundaries around it so that we can live within the obligated and spontaneous mindset. And everything gets addressed, nothing gets sacrificed. You can still be focused, but you have a balanced lifestyle. So Amy, I hope that was useful and to anyone else watching this, I hope that was a useful insight for you. And as always, thanks for joining me and I'll see you again soon. Bye for now.


Studying Romeo and Juliet, here's how you can analyse Act 2, scene 6. Friar Lawrence and Romeo enter and Friar Lawrence says this, in other words he's using personification to say that God and the heavens are happy that Romeo and Juliet are getting married. Romeo then responds in hyperbole hair and he's basically saying that once Friar Lawrence marries both he and Juliet, he'll even be happy if he dies after he knows that he's married Juliet. Yet Friar Lawrence thinks this type of passion is destructive and the repetition of violent hair shows that he's warning Romeo to be really careful not to love too passionately otherwise it can meet a violent death. Juliet then enters and she uses religious language to show that she's happy to see them. Romeo is so relieved to see Juliet and he speaks in Caesarea hair to show that he's incredibly happy to be marrying her. Juliet then responds using hyperbole hair to show that her love for Romeo is so vast she can't even sum it up. Friar Lawrence then starts the marriage ceremony and he speaks here in religious language to show us that they're going to get officially married.


Listen now there's two types of people in this world They are pessimists and optimists and the pessimists are looking in the future as dark and gloomy and doomy and all hell is gonna break loose and Right now one of the hot topics is artificial intelligence AI and how AI is gonna completely destroy all industries of the world It's gonna completely eliminate the job that you have and you're gonna be out of a job And you're not gonna have any income and all hell is gonna break loose I just want to clarify one thing in this video if you look globally speaking right now We are living in the most abundant time possible poverty globally is down Lifespan is up globally a prosperity is up globally opportunity is up globally think about this We have more power in the palm of our hands and the King of England did a hundred years ago Think about that you have more power than the King of England a hundred years ago So we're talking about the future You you got to take everything with a grain of salt. You can't really predict it per se You know a lot of people saying AI is gonna take over everything However, my thought is I'm a firm believer in things going slowly like if you look at the evolution of the candle The candle took a hundred years go from a candle to a light bulb currently So AI is coming AIC here for example you have IBM's tensors open source technology which is fantastic Any of the different levels of AI I won't get into today, but there's different degrees of artificial intelligence certain deep learning algorithms For the most part when people talk about AI is not real true AI. It's more human programmed AI But that being said I really do believe that AI is actually gonna Levitate and increase The standard of living that we have in life and it's not gonna take over everything generally speaking It's gonna be quite specific. So for specific tasks if you look at certain computation algorithms in the medical space, so One fascinating thing I was reading the other day is radiologists. For example, they go to school for four years to read a printed piece of Paper diagrams and charts from all the machines. Well, I'm pretty sure a machine itself is much smarter at reading its own reading than a human being So they're talking about how AI can actually increase the medical field Standard of care by 10x or even 100x by actually reading the outputs much more Efficiently and much more accurately than any human being can because we make a lot of mistakes We have our own cognitive biases and maybe we're tired that day Who knows but the deep learning type of AI can definitely outperform a stare And you have all these different case examples where artificial intelligence come into play I think AI for the medical for me personally would be number one I think it has the most impact over there that you can I think AI as well for when it comes to agriculture So if you look at our farming right now, we don't have an issue with food globally We can grow food for the whole world 10x over the problem is logistics and the problem is a lot of that food goes to waste I'm pretty sure I read somewhere about this anywhere between 40% to 70% of all food produced globally actually goes to waste So we can implement certain artificial intelligence technologies into automations of robots and certain farms to actually see the crops yield When it's time to harvest and also determine the logistics of it So if we know, you know based on what's happening with the crop growing If we know that within about say two weeks from now the crops going to be ready to harvest Right away the AI then can call in The shipments they can come pick it up So everything is ready in place on the proper time and it's it's wonderful So I think going forward AI is definitely going to improve our lives It's gonna eliminate a lot of jobs people shouldn't have like I guarantee you we're gonna have AI Driverless trucks within the next 10 years right now in Europe I'm pretty sure as Volvo Volvo finish cross-continental European trip with full automated driving cars Now if you implement like a semi deep learning tensor IBM AI platform into there It's become smarter every single time it drives same thing with uber car drivers uber and pits I'm pretty sure it's the third year uber and Pittsburgh Launched a couple of uber cars for self-driving and it's literally a matter of time before everything gets switched over into an AI System for that and remember like I said is different variations of AI is in different levels of AI I'm just talking about human programmed AI and now you're gonna have basically no truck drivers No delivery drivers of whatsoever and now the question comes into play is like what do you do now? Like where do you go? You know in Moscow talking about this the other day I know the Canadian government was talking about this not too long ago And a lot of people are proposing that something called UBI universal basic income I you know, it's gonna be interesting to see where that goes I'm a firm believer in the story. Don't give a man fish teach a man how to fish. It's never about the money It's about the intellectual capital So you can give a person like a hundred thousand dollars But if they don't have the financial smarts to maintain a hundred thousand dollars, it's gonna disappear Just look at the statistics of the lottery winners. I think 70% go broke within the first five years That being said though I think there may be some validity in the future where a lot of jobs will disappear And I think our taxes all of our collective taxes could be put to better use into actual education as opposed to UBI I don't want to just give people money.  It's a tool. It has a double-edged sword and we have to be very careful and That's what Elon Musk actually created a fund or an organization to counter the AI progression just to keep the tabs on it and to figure out, you know, there has to be There has to be some kind of a contingency plans of all shit It's the fan for example, like if you look at Steinem from the Terminator But like I said, I really do believe it has a lot of potential and benefits to really help him in kind And I wouldn't restress about the future. Like I said, it is the future is so amazing. It's so bright You have the whole world in front of you right here in the palm of your hands and opportunities everywhere Everywhere, you know, I couldn't be doing my businesses literally 10 years ago And that's all because of technology and progression that we have it now with blockchain and cryptocurrency and everything like that Person with a cell phone can have a Swiss bank account in their phone Not having a Swiss bank account in Switzerland But literally having an encrypted bank account on their phone and they can transfer any form of cryptocurrency around the world So there you have it. The future is bright. AI is pretty good and don't stress out. Peace


So my talk is about first of all, hello, my name is Marcel. I'm from Germany. I'm still a student and yes my talk is about spawning and What spawning is is basically nothing else than a service which is offering you log-in capabilities You made now you might now say that this sounds familiar from something like XTM and yes it's basically the same but how it works is differently and The basic approach of this whole thing is That we are trying to unify how a user logs in and how a developer logs in and How I've seen it in the past few years is usually a developer of a window manager goes to a TTI logs in using a getty and Has a clean session and the user has his Demon like XTM or entrance or like the M and logs in using a UI and there We have a little problem because on something like like the M you might not start the window manager in a clean session Like the developer starts it using a TTI running start X because he has a fresh X server, etc, etc so the basic approach is to unify this and so The idea is there should not be a difference between you logging in from a virtual eternal using a getty or using spony and a graphical user interface to log in and How this works is basically by copying how a getty works on a normal system So what a getty does is it sets up the virtual journal for you. It sets up the file descriptor Zero one and two for you so standard Standard in standard out and standard error and just passes this on to the next process So what spony does in the internal things is there's a demon which is doing one set of operation And this is it is the demon is forking into a new process This process locks in the user using Pam After that it acquires a new virtual journal. It sets the correct user permissions on it It sets the correct file descriptors and then it just starts a binary for example the greeter binary for bringing up a greeter or binary like Weston or a binary like Start X to run X seven what you can see here now is already we don't depend anymore on the architecture of X So it doesn't matter for this system if you are starting a wayland compositor Or if you are starting a X compositor X window manager or even just a plane bash on your virtual journal without involving any graphical device And as those systems are working at some point you need a place where you can interact with the user and this is usually called for me the greeter and Spony itself only carries a text mode greeter. This means what you see on your screen It's just a text mode virtual journal. So without graphical output just a normal the normal characters as you see them on boot and The reason for doing this is on one side I didn't want to pull pull in any major Toolkit into spawning itself spawning itself should stay as tiny as possible so it could get integrated in many different places really easily and The other positive point about this is we are having a binary that can be used for logging in users For the case that a graphical mode of a virtual terminal fails So I'm sitting quite often in front of my work laptop after our update and sitting in front of a black screen because some driver issue happened and Lady I'm cannot come up anymore and cannot draw anything on the screen So the idea here is and what spawning actually does is it checks if the greeter is really starting up successfully a graphical mode Greeter for example, and if this is not happening for let's say two times It starts the fallback greeter, which is the text mode greeter So in the end we are promising the user in some kind that he's always ending up with a lock screen Which is working probably not looking nice, but it's at least working for example for the case of a driver issue He can then drop to his bash fix the system reboot and he is back at the graphical system. So in the best case However, since users like nice you eyes, there's also the possibility of a graphical greeter and this graphical greeter is Outside of the main repository. It's in a different repository The greeter is called Anna and looks like this It's using EFL as graphical output and runs there in the plain DRM session on the virtual journal However, the special thing on this greeter is how it uses spawning. So the big story Big story packed in a short sentence is spawning is using mason. Mason is a built system I don't know maybe one or the other knows it and Mason has one wonderful feature and this is you can include other mason projects in Your own project and this is what Anna does So for example in a distribution where you don't have many packages and you don't have a new software like spawning You can just deploy your greeter by using spawning in your repository so the distribution only would have to deploy your greeter and not also spawning and Your greeter for example for me on Arch Linux. This means I can have a single User Arch Linux repository built script which builds me the greeter and I can just deploy it like this to the users Without forcing them to build two packages, which is way easier The good thing also in spawning is you can just execute in the end of binary Which sets the default greeter to some path. So in the end for the user He doesn't for end user He doesn't seem at all see at all that there's something happening in the background with composing to two pieces of code However this started for me like a little research project so I Wanted to improve how the normal lock-in screens on Linux work and I wanted to have something that doesn't depend on something like GTK or QT or elementary So many projects can use one base and so since this is a research project somehow for me There are a few future goals where I would like to work on and where I wanted the project to go For example one thing that I've recognized and already said before there are sometimes Greeter hang-ups in terms of the greeters in terms of the driver. So the driver has some kind of issue and Cannot get further or back and this would be something that I would like to monitor So somehow that the greeter detects if there is a graphical issue and just exits in itself or spawning kills the greeter So the user in the end again ends up with a usable system instead of a locked system Also, which what is missing right now? But I want to have implemented is support for finger readers or smart card readers or anything like this right now This is not working because on the one side. I don't have the hardware to test and on the other side I've checked it once and there it was Pam starting some x-windows that you were seeing in your x-session and Since the for example a greeter like Anna runs in a DRM session and not in a x-session We don't have the possibility to bring such a window up So this is missing and other research project I was thinking of was to get a sequel lock screen which was something like Do not only use the greeter for logging a user in but also for Locking a session back. So if you are locking your session, you don't see the compositor bringing up a password field But rather get back to the greeter in the beginning and you have to log in again to get back to your session Which would be somehow a bit cleaner because Session itself does not need to implement something like a lock screen again However, this was basically it the takeaway from this should be in the end Spawning is nothing else than a graphical front end for using a greeter and the greeter is the standard way for a long time Logging into a Linux system for example The focus is on keeping a responsive system to the user. So no one is ever forced to do USB boot or something like this to get his system back up working and this whole thing is Undependent from the X server so we can start any session in it Yeah, that's basically it any questions do That was the short story the long story is you can decide if you want to have it in two packages or one Packaging when it doesn't exist. Yes, exactly. That was the use case. So you just keep it easy for the user for deploying it Yes The architecture is like you have a demon In the middle so to say which is called SP demon that is running as rude and outside any session So it can create other sessions which are recognized by something like log indeed and As this for King is happening and then the forks are running and the users Where you are logging in and for example the greeter itself is running in a user that doesn't have a home directory I think it has a home directory, but this is empty directory. It does not have rights to do anything basically at all and so yes The base thing is running as rude because this is needed to do all the stuff But in the end the lock screen for the users not running his route. No, just wanted to say developers like me Always use a login manager. I don't be static. So I've done that for 20 plus years building window manager So I'm not sure I'm not sure you're described description of yeah, okay But it was a it was a quick question on IOC and there have been already many which said okay Yeah, TTI logging in start X Are there other questions myself, thank you very much
