"There’s More To Global Positioning Than Just GPS" by @hackaday - US GPS🛰️ started it but isn't the only public global navigation system now. Initially planned for military use, GPS was first to open to public use (after KAL Flight 007✈️ was shot down in 1983) and then others followed. Sophisticated multi-network receivers now improve #Positioning #Navigation #Timing #PNT resolution by combining data from all satellites in view. https://hackaday.com/2026/05/07/theres-more-to-global-positioning-than-just-gps/ #GNSS #GPS #Galileo #Glonass #Beidou #space

"The GPS III Rollout Is Almost Complete, But What Is It?" by @hackaday / @tomnardi - New 3rd generation of #GPS satellites transmit with higher power and use new protocols to improve signal acquisition and resist interference. It's backward compatible with older GPS receivers (i.e. phones, cars, aircraft) but much improved for new receivers designed for GPS III. https://hackaday.com/2026/04/28/the-gps-iii-rollout-is-almost-complete-but-what-is-it/ #GNSS #positioning #navigation #timing #PNT #satellite #space

"Success will often depend on what you choose to ignore.” - Futurist Jim Carroll
--
Futurist Jim Carroll is writing a series, The Art of the Infinite Pivot, based on 36 lessons from his 36 years as a solo entrepreneur, working as a nomadic worker in the global freelance economy. The series is unfolding here, and at pivot.jimcarroll.com.
--If you follow me, you will know I'm very big on not following big hype. Far too many trends are overplayed and overemphasized, and yet under-reach with unrealistic potential.
Why is that? Because I've seen over and over and over again what happens when excessively hyped trends don't become real in the short term. But here's a fun fact - I also believe the observation by Bill Gates that we tend to overestimate the impact of a trend in the short term, but underestimate it's impact its impact in the long term.
Which means timing is everything!
So let's put this conundrum into perspective. Many of us are conditioned to believe that success is about absorption. More information, more networking, more trends, more hustle leads to more success - that type of thing. But my own voyage through the global economy has taught me that the opposite is true. As the world gets louder, your success doesn't depend on what you take in. It depends on what you ruthlessly exclude.
The "Infinite Pivot" isn't just about moving toward the new; it's about knowing which 'new' to avoid, and when.
Fast-moving trends can often be a powerful distraction. The buzz they generate It is a chaotic mix of breaking news, viral hype, and the promise of quick riches. But if you jump on too soon, you'll get burned. Too late, and you'll miss the opportunity. Did I mention timing is everything?
There's also the aspect of how real any particular trend might be - and which should be ignored. The most profound shifts in my career happened when I finally built a "cognitive firewall" against trivial trends.
In an era of infinite distraction, the person who can choose what not to care about is the only one who can truly see what's coming.
Don't just filter the future.
Manage your attention.

“Remember that the future won’t wait for you to be ready.” - Futurist Jim Carroll

--Never wait.
Don't hold back.
Get going - right now.
Because the world as you know it at this very moment won't exist beyond the next moment. And by the time you get going, the opportunity it might present will be long gone.
And yet, you are probably like most people - you're going to wait. For the 'perfect moment' when 'the time is right.' And with that, you fall behind.
Look, throughout my 36-year voyage, I’ve seen the same pattern repeat in every industry: leaders waiting for the "perfect moment," the "final report," or the "economic recovery" to begin their next move. They treat readiness as a destination they need to reach before they can start. People do the same thing - if we have a major career opportunity, a freelance idea to chase, or a new skill we need to adapt.We wait until we are ready.
But here is the brutal reality of the Infinite Pivot: The future doesn't care about your hesitation.
In my book, Dancing in the Rain, I explored why you have to build while it’s pouring rain. Why did I write it? Because I know most people view a period of volatility or a period of chaos as a reason to delay. They think they are being "prudent" by waiting. In reality, they are being overtaken.
Here's what I know: you need to establish a dual mindset, in which you:
Rebuild during the lows: The rainy periods, aka volatility, are the only time you have the quiet to master the next tool, learn new skills, or overhaul your infrastructure. If you are waiting for things to "get back to normal" to start your growth phase, you have already lost opportunities due to the speed of change
Pivot during the highs: When things are going well, that is exactly when the next disruption is cutting to the front of the line. It won't wait for you. You need to jump.
The Infinite Pivot is about realizing that the idea of being "ready" is a myth, a trap, a barrier. The future tends to arrive on its own schedule. If you spend your time waiting for clarity, you’ll find yourself standing in a world that has already moved on without you.
You can't control the timing, but you can control your motion.
Don't wait for the future to invite you.

The Infinite Pivot is about realizing that the idea of being "ready" is a myth, a trap, a barrier. The future tends to arrive on its own schedule. If you spend your time waiting for clarity, you’ll find yourself standing in a world that has already moved on without you.
You can't control the timing, but you can control your motion.
Don't wait for the future to invite you.

Jim Carroll's book of 2007, Ready, Set, Done: How to Innovate When Faster is the New Fast, emphasized the need to be ready.

“Remember that the future won’t wait for you to be ready.” - Futurist Jim Carroll
--
Futurist Jim Carroll is writing a series, The Art of the Infinite Pivot, based on 36 lessons from his 36 years as a solo entrepreneur, working as a nomadic worker in the global freelance economy. The series is unfolding here, and at pivot.jimcarroll.com.
--Never wait.
Don't hold back.
Get going - right now.
Because the world as you know it at this very moment won't exist beyond the next moment. And by the time you get going, the opportunity it might present will be long gone.
And yet, you are probably like most people - you're going to wait. For the 'perfect moment' when 'the time is right.' And with that, you fall behind.
Look, throughout my 36-year voyage, I’ve seen the same pattern repeat in every industry: leaders waiting for the "perfect moment," the "final report," or the "economic recovery" to begin their next move. They treat readiness as a destination they need to reach before they can start. People do the same thing - if we have a major career opportunity, a freelance idea to chase, or a new skill we need to adapt.We wait until we are ready.
But here is the brutal reality of the Infinite Pivot: The future doesn't care about your hesitation.
In my book, Dancing in the Rain, I explored why you have to build while it’s pouring rain. Why did I write it? Because I know most people view a period of volatility or a period of chaos as a reason to delay. They think they are being "prudent" by waiting. In reality, they are being overtaken.
Here's what I know: you need to establish a dual mindset, in which you:
Rebuild during the lows: The rainy periods, aka volatility, are the only time you have the quiet to master the next tool, learn new skills, or overhaul your infrastructure. If you are waiting for things to "get back to normal" to start your growth phase, you have already lost opportunities due to the speed of change
Pivot during the highs: When things are going well, that is exactly when the next disruption is cutting to the front of the line. It won't wait for you. You need to jump.
The Infinite Pivot is about realizing that the idea of being "ready" is a myth, a trap, a barrier. The future tends to arrive on its own schedule. If you spend your time waiting for clarity, you’ll find yourself standing in a world that has already moved on without you.

'MARILYN MONROE, ACTRESS, NEW YORK CITY, MAY 6, 1957'
.
I saw a post earlier where a photographer asked what you say during a session to get someone to drop their mask. It reminded me of this portrait by Avedon. No direction. No prompt. Just patience.

YOU may laugh, CheapPontoon, but did you ever lose a job because you thought a serious interview would be a good time to exercise your stand-up comedy skillz?
Been there. Done that. Didn't get the job or a T-Shirt.

13. #Timing is everything‼️‼️
No idea is so unique that only you will ever think of it. You are not that #smart.☝️This is one of my favorite pieces of advice for #junior #researchers, who tend to think they are sooooo clever that nobody else is having the same idea. Well, they do, so make sure to work on / publish your great idea before others do.
This has happened to me many times.... Last example is very recent. One year ago I wrote down a #card in my #trello about the need to #annotate the code generated by an #Agent (well, it was beginning of 2025 so I used the word #LLM as agents were not that hot then) using some type of simple #DSL.
But did nothing to explore this further since then. And I had to now add a note saying that what I wanted to do is probably already covered by #AgentTrace from Cursor released a couple of weeks ago.
