Humanity...

Humanity...

Now a days, I read many times that scientists are researching to build Robots with AI... may be, like we have seen in movies, Robots might start "feeling" as well... I was just thinking on this one day and a strange thought hit me...

We are trying to teach to machines something which is very human... thinking capabilities... feelings... but what are we, humans, doing? We have started behaving like machines... and we have very nice names for such behavior of us... I'm very “practical“... be “professional“ buddy... etc... etc...

While thinking this I felt that, yes I still do feel things ;) , we are trying to transform machines in to humans but while doing so... we need to take care that we are not transforming ourselves into machines...

Or else, may be some day machines would start teaching “machinity“ to humans... and at that time, may be, some machine would be writing something similar to this post....

So I would say, it is okay if u sometime don't feel like doing any work, and just want to lie on the bed... go ahead do it...

It is okay if u love some one which u r not supposed to... for practical reasons like, what ppl would think... does he earn enough.... is his bank balance good... is she already taken... would she slap me in public... bla bla bla... forget all this and just experience the love...

Feeling angry about some one... go, shout loudly... pull hairs... slap that person... give way to your anger... it will go away... ;-)

Somebody shouted at you.. for no reason... cry... don't think if u r a boy or a girl... child or elder.. just cry... and you will feel better...

Deadline on your head... feeling work pressure... working late nights... eat all your nails... curse your boss... believe me he is doing the same ;-)

Be alone some times... think about your school-college time girlfriend - boyfriends... ya ya I know many would say I had none... I'm not talking only about successful stories here... :P hahaha... think of your future... her/his future... make plans... break them...

Go for a movie... live the life of that heroic character for some time... kill all villains... dance with heroin...

Spend time with friends... enjoy night-outs... give toothpaste mustache to someone... use crackers to wake someone... have fun...

Get some hobby... click photos of people walking on the streets... or of some stones of weird shapes... flowers... sky... lights... write some poems... play Guitar... Drums... sing loudly...

In short... do teach humanity to machines... but don't forget the same for yourself... enjoy every moment of life... life is Good....

Note: for those who read this post completely: I was traveling and had no time pass so wrote all this... I'm not a philosopher and don't want to be one.. heard they are very serious... :P hahaha

So if u liked this then good, if you did not like this... who cares.. 2 4 gali likh dena comments me hahahaha

Happy Birthday Mom...

Happy Birthday Mom...

      Today is 19th December and it's my Mom's Birthday... Happy Birthday Mom :)
      It's been some days now, that I can see her in my dreams. Whatever the dream let be, I always see her with us... as if nothing has happened... I feel like she is telling me, don't worry, I would always be with you... and I feel so Fresh when I get up... I get the entire energy for the entire day :-) Today in morning when I was chatting with Rakhi, my sis, she also told me the same, she sees her in dreams too... and said that mom is still with us... for a moment I felt so good and relaxed :-)
     Though I was busy the full day today I missed her a lot... was thinking if she would have been with us, I would have left from the office early and then we would have celebrated her Birthday...
I am feeling very low today... felt like sitting alone and talking to no one...kept myself busy with the work... 

I know She would always be with me... forever... Miss you mom... and Happy Birthday :-)

Why Programmers Work At Night

A popular saying goes that 

Programmers are machines that turn caffeine into code.

    And sure enough, ask a random programmer when they do their best work and there’s a high chance they will admit to a lot of late nights. Some earlier, some later. A popular trend is to get up at 4am and get some work done before the day’s craziness begins. Others like going to bed at 4am.

At the gist of all this is avoiding distractions. But you could just lock the door, what’s so special about the night?

I think it boils down to three things: the maker’s schedule, the sleepy brain and bright computer screens.

 

 The maker’s schedule

Paul Graham wrote about the maker’s schedule in 2009 – basically that there are two types of schedules in this world (primarily?). The traditional manager’s schedule where your day is cut up into hours and a ten minute distraction costs you, at most, an hour’s worth of time.

On the other hand you have something PG calls the maker’s schedule – a schedule for those of us who produce stuff. Working on large abstract systems involves fitting the whole thing into your mind – somebody once likened this to constructing a house out of expensive crystal glass and as soon as someone distracts you, it all comes barreling down and shatters into a thousand pieces.

This is why programmers are so annoyed when you distract them.

Because of this huge mental investment, we simply can’t start working until we can expect a couple of hours without being distracted. It’s just not worth constructing the whole model in your head and then having it torn down half an hour later.

In fact, talking to a lot of founders you’ll find out they feel like they simply can’t get any work done during the day. The constant barrage of interruptions, important stuff ™ to tend to and emails to answer simply don’t allow it. So they get most of their “work work” done during the night when everyone else is sleeping.

 

The sleepy brain

But even programmers should be sleeping at night. We are not some race of super humans. Even programmers feel more alert during the day.

Ballmer's peak

Why then do we perform our most mentally complex work work when the brain wants to sleep and we do simpler tasks when our brain is at its sharpest and brightest?

Because being tired makes us better coders.

Similar to the ballmer peak, being tired can make us focus better simply because when your brain is tired it has to focus! There isn’t enough left-over brainpower to afford losing concentration.

I seem to get the least work done right after drinking too much tea or having a poorly timed energy drink. Makes me hyperactive and one second I’m checking twitter, the next I’m looking at hacker news and I just seem to be buzzing all over the place..

You’d think I’d work better – so much energy, so much infinite overclocked brainpower. But instead I keep tripping over myself because I can’t focus for more than two seconds at a time.

Conversely, when I’m slightly tired, I just plomp my arse down and code. With a slightly tired brain I can code for hours and hours without even thinking about checking twitter or facebook. It’s like the internet stops existing.

I feel like this holds true for most programmers out there. We have too much brainpower for ~80% of the tasks we work on – face it, writing that one juicy algorithm, requires ten times as much code to produce an environment in which it can run. Even if you’re doing the most advanced machine learning (or something) imaginable, a lot of the work is simply cleaning up the data and presenting results in a lovely manner.

And when your brain isn’t working at full capacity it looks for something to do. Being tired makes you dumb enough that the task at hand is enough.

 

Bright computer screens

This one is pretty simple. Keep staring at a bright source of light in the evening and your sleep cycle gets delayed. You forget to be tired until 3am. Then you wake up at 11am and when the evening rolls around you simply aren’t tired because hey, you’ve only been up since 11am!

Given enough iterations this can essentially drag you into a different timezone. What’s more interesting is that it doesn’t seem to keep rolling, once you get into that equilibrium of going to bed between 3am and 4am you tend to stay there.

Or maybe that’s just the alarm clocks doing their thing because society tells us we’re dirty dirty slobs if we have breakfast at 2pm.

 

-----

To conclude, programmers work at night because it doesn’t impose a time limit on when you have to stop working, which gives you a more relaxed approach, your brain doesn’t keep looking for distractions and a bright screen keeps you awake.
