Heart Beat shell script
I use this script to get alerts from some systems to insure they are still up. It gives me local IP address, hostname and the WAN IP for the network.
#!/bin/sh
IP=”$(ip addr | grep ‘state UP’ -A2 | tail -n1 | awk ‘{print $2}’ | cut -f1 -d’/’)”
IP2=”$(curl ifconfig.co)”
HST=”$(hostname)”
CN=”$(curl ifconfig.co/country)”
CT=”$(curl ifconfig.co/city)”
HST=”$(hostname)”
echo $IP2 > /tmp/$HST
echo $IP >> /tmp/$HST
echo $CN >> /tmp/$HST
echo $CT >> /tmp/$HST
/usr/bin/sendemail -t info\@mydomain.org -f hb\@mydomain.org -u “HB from $HST” -s smtp.server -o message-file=/tmp/$HST;

How to Become Relevant when a Robot Takes Your Job | Pablos Holman | TEDxLA
The Future Doesn’t Need You – How to Become Relevant when a Robot Takes Your Job
In this talk, Pablos dares you to imagine the possibilities in what once seemed impossible: a harmonious co-existence of humans and robots: Robots taking over your jobs and why they should; how this can trigger fear in humans and why it shouldn’t; redefining happiness; solving world problems like eliminating disease; a personal narrative of parenting that will bring you to your knees; and the responsibility of humans in all of this.

Was at a Cafe and thought, screw it. I will code generic cup in OpenSCAD as a skill building exercice.

Prof. Jürgen Schmidhuber – Deep learning neural network researcher
How do I not know this guy ?!
Since age 15 or so, the main goal of professor Jürgen Schmidhuber has been to build a self-improving Artificial Intelligence (AI) smarter than himself, then retire.

EU is looking into the need to give robots/AI person hood in the eye of the law…
MEPs have called for the adoption of comprehensive rules for how humans will interact with artificial intelligence and robots.
The report makes it clear that it believes the world is on the cusp of a “new industrial” robot revolution.
It looks at whether to give robots legal status as “electronic persons”.
Designers should make sure any robots have a kill switch, which would allow functions to be shut down if necessary, the report recommends.
Meanwhile users should be able to use robots “without risk or fear of physical or psychological harm”, it states.
Lorna Brazell, a partner at law firm Osborne Clarke, was surprised by how far-reaching the rules were.
But questioned the need to give future robots legal status.
