Since chatgpt is the talk of the town, I figured I'll post my thoughts on where it's headed. Salient points: 1. AI learns from it's surroundings, so we have to be careful not to divulge personal or corporate secrets while interacting with it. 2. AI learns from it's surroundings. By making it's content creators using it's own output instead of creating new content, it's going to create a feedback loop of itself where it will keep repeating itself since humans are no longer willing to write content of their own.

Pool automation project

I started a new home project. I needed a motor with low RPM and high torque, to pull on both sides. I added two buttons to run the motor in either side instantaneously and another two to push till a certain time limit. Then I added a wait time before the trigger. While the project is still under construction, here is a crude circuit diagram and a demo of the motor run only. It took me about 30 minutes to write the code. While I am certain it can be further optimized and improved, my energy is is better spent on other things. C onsidering it's going to run on a single chip, I am going to leave it as is for now. Update April-16-2022 : I ran the test and everything worked fine until the end. Phase 1- connect ropes to allow one person to pull the cover without bunching up. Phase 2 - connect a motor to reduce manual winding/unwinding. Everything went well until the end, the reel wheel crumbled under pressure, literally. Now either I find a better way and use the other good end t...
