#deep-thinking — Public Fediverse posts

There’s a quiet moment when success stops feeling like success.
Do you push harder—or pause and rethink everything?

How are we supposed to foster the deep thinking needed within our schools if we are just as distracted as our students?

Human vision: what we actually see – and don’t see – tells us a lot about consciousness

Every yes hides a no.
Every decision has a cost you don’t see.

Opportunity cost isn’t about money -
It’s about what you give up to move forward.

Choose with intention.
Think in trade-offs. 🧠✨

Do you have a topic you want to debate, but no one willing to sit with the complexity instead of rushing to conclusions?

I am here for that kind of conversation.

Let us think out loud without turning it into a performance.

A lot of my purpose with this account has been about letting go of my past pains, embracing change and sharing some example for moving forward as I personally keep noticing healing & connection with nature. Exploring, what can we learn from that? Feeling an end of this era, a new chapter to create. Im changing my lifestyle to some degree, a place Ive come to know. This feels strange to admit but this little box on wheels has been more of my home than anywhere else Ive lived these past five years. Ive worked many seasonal & remote jobs to create time for a nomadic lifestyle. I took a minimalist approach; recognizing & experimentally embracing you can do more with less. Slowly discovering many cross over philosophies with technology enthusiasts who love to embrace terms like FOSS, Libre, FLO and others alike. Pondering if many in technology fields seem to share similar views & values with ski bums, dirtbags and nomads? Ive met so many incredible people along the way and experiencing how healing it is when we genuinely connect. 

The change for me now is of great importance to reflect. To follow through on realizing the healing wouldn't be complete without helping more people ahead. The silence was good, the isolation had peace but the final words of Chris McCandless still strike me deep: "Happiness is only real, when shared." Nothing lasts forever but letting go does feel uncomfortable. Setting my own intention for a mountain mindset based around sharing an appreciation, a love & respect for the land & people. I might have taken a simple approach to experiencing a complex world. And if theres anything Id still like to learn... is it better in life to ask questions than to give answers?

Raspberry Pi feels like a 1990s sweet old PC all over again.

The excitement of connecting devices, like GPIO pins, recalls serial and parallel ports

Tweaking, adjusting, and troubleshooting teaches you more than just following instructions

Growing your Pi and skills brings joy in ways automated systems can’t

Constraints spark creativity and deep learning

Technology exists to extend human abilities, yet so often it is applied in ways that disrupt mental calm.

Why do we use our most powerful tools to scatter attention instead of supporting focus, reflection, and deep thinking?

Considering a self-hosted personal thought server:

Protect thinking from unnecessary noise and the distraction economy

Maintain focus and continuity in reasoning

Use Raspberry Pi OS Lite for a minimal, stable environment

Deploy a personalized LLM to support private exploration

Keep full control over knowledge and data

A meditation from Cal Newport

Abraham Lincoln, John Adams, Ben Franklin and others had a similar self-instigated scholarly dedication to mastering hard ideas and developing their own views of the world.

Here’s my question: would this have been possible in the age of the Internet?

Making the most out of a small LLM

Yesterday i finally built my own #AI #server. I had a spare #Nvidia RTX 2070 with 8GB of #VRAM laying around and wanted to do this for a long time.

The problem is that most #LLMs need a lot of VRAM and i don't want to buy another #GPU just to host my own AI. Then i came across #gemma3 and #qwen3. Both of these are amazing #quantized models with stunning reasoning given that they need so less resources.

I chose huihui_ai/qwen3-abliterated:14b since it supports #deepthinking, #toolcalling and is pretty unrestricted. After some testing i noticed that the 8b model performs even better than the 14b variant with drastically better performance. I can't make out any quality loss there to be honest. The 14b model sneaked in chinese characters into the response very often. The 8b model on the other hand doesn't.

Now i've got a very fast model with amazing reasoning (even in German) and tool calling support. The only thing left to improve is knowledge. #Firecrawl is a great tool for #webscraping and as soon as i implemented websearching, the setup was complete. At least i thought it was.

I want to make the most out of this LLM and therefore my next step is to implement a basic #webserver that exposes the same #API #endpoints as #ollama so that everywhere ollama is supported, i can point it to my python script instead. This way it feels like the model is way more capable than it actually is. I can use these advanced features everywhere without being bound to it's actual knowledge.

To improve this setup even more i will likely switch to a #mixture_of_experts architecture soon. This project is a lot of fun and i can't wait to integrate it into my homelab.

The best preparation for tomorrow is doing your best today. – (H. Jackson Brown Jr.)

Sometimes, we’re so focused on tomorrow that we forget the power of today. True preparation comes from consistent, small steps that add up to big results.

What’s one thing you can do today to make tomorrow better?

#Preparation #Motivation #DailyPractice #SundayInspiration #Leadership #DeepThinking #Coaching

🧠 Carve out 30 minutes daily for deep thinking—it’s a game-changer. Your business and career will thank you.

Don’t let success slip away because you didn’t make time to think.

@TonyStark After the chaos of “24 short-term extensions of authorization, a partial shutdown of the FAA, a complete government shutdown and numerous threats of government shutdowns,” yeah, obvs, it must be some engineer's "and/or" Pete Buttigieg's fault. #DeepThinking
