Thought zero

Pain is inevitable, but suffering is optional. Therefore, after a certain point, I accepted the pain and realised that the result-oriented progress made me unhappy and created a feeling of being left behind, so I decided to focus on the process rather than the result and to love the process.

Opportunities come to prepared minds or as I recently discovered lady luck favours those who try (Law of Serendipity), so there is no need to fear what will happen next, fear comes from the unknown, I just need to be ready and work harder each day. Opportunities have always existed and will always exist, and as the access to resources becomes even more possible on an individual level, opportunities will increase even more. The one important thing will be adaptation, I will be left behind if I refuse to adapt new. Struggle will be always there, what I need is not a peaceful existence, but the challenge I am trying to overcome with the skills I have.

The aim is not to live forever but to create something that will live forever.

When one door closes, another opens; but we often look so long and so regretfully upon the closed door that we do not see the one which has opened for us. - Alexander Graham Bell

In life, one chooses not what to do but what not to do

Everybody wants to eat but not everbody wants to hunt.

Sometimes I recall memories in great detail, perhaps triggered by music, food, or smell. However, at other times, I struggle to remember even simple things like what I ate for breakfast. Recently, I remembered my great-grandmother and the wonderful times spent at her house during family gatherings and holidays. As my dear elders have passed away, I realized how precious those memories truly were. It is a great burden to be aware that those times are past, and sometimes it is hard to let go of the past. However, Victor Frankl's case study helped me to offload this burden. Let me share it with you too. An elderly doctor fell into depression two years after his wife's passing. Instead of analyzing the situation, Frankl posed a thought-provoking question: What if the doctor had died first? The man realized that his wife would have endured immense suffering from such a loss. Frankl revealed that by surviving, he spared his wife from agony. His grief gave his suffering profound meaning and purpose. Therefore, the price I am paying is grief.

Learning is a journey, not just an end goal. By designing and enjoying the process, you can ultimately achieve what you want because anything is achievable with enough time and the right system.

Only a small proportion of the work that people do is truly routine. Most jobs require problem-solving skills. When faced with new situations or problems, we draw on our past experience and knowledge to find solutions by making analogies. We adapt our approaches as the environment and circumstances change. Social interaction is also crucial in our search for solutions. As a species, we are highly creative and value the input of others. It is important to communicate effectively and consider the opinions of those around us.

If a machine can perform a task with the same level of proficiency as a human, it can be considered to have achieved 'human equivalence'. Therefore, the greater the level of human equivalence a machine can attain, the more intelligent it is.

I need to find a solution for my back and lower back pain.

I often wonder why robots have not yet arrived. They are currently limited to industrial or warehouse work. Today, I came across Moravec's Paradox, which explains that what is easy for robots is hard for humans, and what is easy for humans is hard for robots. This paradox suggests that reasoning does not require much computation, but perception skills require a lot of computational resources. The principle was articulated in the 1980s. In 1988, Moravec stated that while it is relatively simple to program computers to perform at an adult level on intelligence tests or games like checkers, it is much more challenging, if not impossible, to give them the perceptual and mobility skills of a one-year-old.

The unknown frightens and excites us at the same time. If we knew with certainty that something we desire or fear would happen at a certain time or date, would we feel the same nervousness or happiness that we feel today? I have always been an impatient person, and although I still believe I am to some extent, I think I have made significant progress in this regard. Whether it is the impatience I feel when waiting for a phone call, when solving a problem, when looking forward to socialising again, or when pursuing a goal or a dream, there are times when I am extremely nervous. This stress exacerbates the problems caused by my nervousness and I make great efforts to overcome it. Maybe it's not for nothing that they say, "The patient dervish has reached his goal."

If there is a problem, you can do two things: you can either solve the problem at its root or you can manage it/control it. The first is relatively more difficult but leads to more lasting results. The second one may take you a short or long time, but it will eventually break out. Therefore, in my opinion, the time spent for the first one will be a more correct/better way.

Turn up the music to turn down the voices in your head.

The soul and mind alone without any guidance, lead to the imperfection and restlessness of the person.

The thing about saying no, if you say it too much, people just stop asking.

Aren't we all alone? We are born alone and we die alone. We eat alone, we travel alone, we cry alone and we find happiness alone. Loneliness can be both a need and a necessity. Loneliness is usually reserved for God and we seek ways to overcome it. Sometimes someone like us comes along and fills the void; sometimes we find ourselves looking for a friend to ease the loneliness. Your loneliness may be accompanied by a friend, family or childhood friend, sometimes they leave you alone. Sometimes you walk alone on the road to success, face difficulties alone and feel lonely even in the midst of a crowd. After all, true loneliness is not the absence of people, but the absence of those who understand us.

The most important thing is time. Today, I realized this again and decided to return to my routine. I have goals, dreams, and limited time to achieve them, so why waste this most precious resource?

Do we truly love life itself, or is it the places, animals, people, memories, food, literature, and music that we cherish? I believe it's the emotions and feelings we associate with these experiences that define our love for life. It's not my university I miss, but the people I met, the time I spent there, and the emotions I felt. Ultimately, it seems that emotions are the essence of life itself.

If a country's land is rich, brimming with wealth, serving as a bridge between Asia and Europe, and its people are hardworking, determined, and intelligent, yet it remains in such a dire state, the greatest blame lies with its leaders, their incompetence and the people who can't change this incompetent. If the people have no say in governance and both the ruling party and the opposition are equally ineffective, even the most beautiful utopias are destined to become dystopias.

(Movie Name: Mars Express) Overall, it was a jam-packed movie. It tried to depict a world where humans and robots coexist, offering various ideas about what such a place could be like. Aside from that, the movie moved quite fast, trying to fit a lot of details into a short time. I generally enjoyed it and would recommend it.

I believe that maintaining an orderly work environment is crucial for productivity. Therefore, I have been focusing a lot on organizing my personal space. As you can see in the pictures, there has been significant improvement from setup 1 to setup 4. I am very satisfied with my latest arrangement. The current setup offers the widest area I've had so far, and the vertical monitor significantly enhances my workflow. For now, I plan to continue using two monitors, but I intend to switch to three when the time is right. Although I am still using a laptop, I consider it a limitation. The most important aspect of my next setup will be preparing a robust desktop Pc.

Today, when asked about the first Turkish state, I paused. Several possibilities came to mind, but I couldn't definitively say which one it was. I often question how well someone can understand their future if they don't know their past, and this was one of those moments for me. I started my search and discovered that the first Turkish state was the Great Hun Empire / Asian Hun Empire. Its capital was Ötüken, its first known ruler was Teoman, and its most significant ruler was Mete. During that period, it was a confederation of nomadic tribes flourishing on the steppes. They were strong and warrior-like, but they had a relatively weak culture at that time. However, they possessed highly advanced martial skills, particularly in archery and horseback riding.

I have been thinking about this for some time, people are trying to develop products that looks so sci-fi/futuristic but the problem is their hardware ai capabilities etc. are not alone well or enough but they are showing like that. Like in the humane ai pin they showed it like revolutionary ai device but in the and a phone can do or I saw ai friend which is ai necklace but problem is you need bluetooth connection to your phone which is a phone can handle most of the things because we are carrying it to everywhere or there is rabbit ai companion device it is also not making my life easier comparing with mobile phone, so I think we are not there yet.

It's been a little over a year since I quit smoking. As a result of the decision and determination I made, I now find the smell of cigarettes quite unpleasant and prefer not to be in such environments. I don’t crave cigarettes at all, and drinks like coffee don’t trigger any desire. As someone who used to smoke immediately upon waking up and even before breakfast, my stomach feels much better now. I’m happy that I made this decision, but I regret the approximately 11 years I spent smoking. However, I want to share with you a quote that I love: "The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago. The second best time is now." I planted this tree about a year ago, and I hope to enjoy its benefits in the coming years.

Shaving is always a dilemma for me. I believe that the beard is make-up for a man, but it is difficult to deal with it and it is necessary to care for it regularly, on the other hand, beardlessness is very comfortable, my skin breathes, but I look better with a beard.

(Movie Name: Spirited Away) I've known Spirited Away for quite some time, and I really enjoy Hayao Miyazaki's films. He and Studio Ghibli have created movies that I can watch over and over again, and Spirited Away is one of my favorites. What I especially love about Spirited Away is the character No-Face, the impact of love, the enchanting environment, and the uniqueness of nearly every character. I don't see repetition; I see the hard work and passion that went into making this film. The movie begins with the characters entering a tunnel that leads to a ghost town, which later fills with souls as our adventure starts. Throughout the journey, we encounter numerous challenges, but we always find solutions. Along the way, we've showed that we are not greed, we've contented with what we've been given, and we've consistently acted with benevolence. Through these experiences, we've discovered and seen so much more. The film is a visual feast in itself, a peaceful world has been created, it supports it with beautiful music and I enjoyed it very much as it progresses fluently, I recommend it.

I will either find a way or make one.

It should be mandatory to require a license for people without proper education before having children. I mean, it's like 'let me give birth and release them into the wild,' and then we have to deal with the consequences.

I once felt that I had gone from working intensely to feeling incapable of working at all. However, I've realized that when you find something you truly love and enjoy, you can do it tirelessly, even 24/7. The key is to be patient until you find that passion. Once you do, you'll never want to stop.

You need to conquer what lies beyond work to truly conquer what lies within it.

Autumn blues, who feels happy, energetic, and joyful in autumn? I think this is becoming a problem for me, something I need to solve. I'm unhappy, unmotivated, but why? Maybe it's the weather, the season. I shouldn't be this weak; I don't think I am, which is why I need to find a solution.

One of the best TV shows of all time. I watched all 6 seasons with great pleasure. After Breaking Bad or Better Call Saul I did not think I would find a show that would be able to keep up the level of quality. But Sopranos did. I love the characters, the story, the acting, the cinematography, the music, the way the episodes are structured. It's just perfect. So I really recommend it to everyone.

I first discovered Simon Stalenhag around 2019-2020. His unique style immediately caught my attention, and I began following his work with admiration. Recently, learned that a film inspired by his artwork will be released soon, which made me even more excited. While I was checking this, I also came across Tales from Loop, a series based on another of his works, and it looks good.

After enduring the relentless storm that had ripped his crew away, leaving him battered and grief-stricken, the captain sought refuge in a peaceful harbor. The howling winds and towering waves had tested not just his ship, but his very spirit, leaving scars that ran deep. The safety and tranquility of this place tempted him to stay, to avoid the treacherous seas that had taken his crew, shattered his hopes, and left him with profound losses. However, he understood that a ship left at anchor for too long would succumb to rust and decay, its timbers weakening as its purpose withered away. The captain's need for purpose drove him—to transform into a courageous and commanding leader, to seize opportunities, and to master the waves—despite the ocean's inherent dangers. With this understanding, he made up his mind to venture back out to sea, determined to reclaim what he had lost, to seek new horizons, and to prove that he could overcome the trials that once brought him to his knees.

In the early 2010s, I had the chance to get an iPad. Back then, mobile phones were still pretty basic, and the iPad's larger screen felt like a game changer. I thought it could serve as a portable workspace, so I bought the LTE version along with a SIM card, which made it easy to use anywhere I went.
By 2018, I wanted to move away from using traditional pen and paper and instead use a more streamlined, digital approach for taking notes. My goal was to bring together all my scattered class notes and replace heavy textbooks with one portable device. The iPad, paired with an Apple Pencil, seemed like the perfect solution. At first, I was worried about latency issues when writing, but those concerns were mostly unfounded because the latency was hardly noticeable. This setup made studying a lot easier, especially for taking visual notes during lectures that involved complex diagrams, which would have taken much more effort using traditional methods. Later, I decided to enhance my setup by adding a Logitech keyboard and a Microsoft Bluetooth mouse, hoping to create a lightweight and flexible mobile workspace. However, this setup didn't meet my expectations due to battery life issues, limited multitasking, and the lack of some important apps, like full-featured graphic design software and advanced productivity tools. Despite these shortcomings, the experience gave me valuable insights. I had been thinking about upgrading for a while, and three days ago, I finally did it.
I upgraded to the iPad Air 6th Generation with the M2 chip, along with the Pencil Pro and Magic Keyboard. I also bought a Spigen case, which, although a bit pricey, has turned out to be a good investment. Both the Magic Keyboard and the Spigen case are high-quality and very useful. With the M2 chip's enhanced processing power, improved battery life, and better multitasking, I think this setup finally meets my vision of an effective mobile workspace. The Pencil Pro charges magnetically and stays securely attached to the iPad, which means I don’t need a special case just to carry the pen. After three days of using this setup, I already really like it. For handwritten notes, I use Notability; for drawing, I use Procreate; and for organizing my digital life, I use Notion as my "second brain." As I keep using this setup, I'll share more of my thoughts

After much planning, I’ve finally upgraded my room setup! I now have a height-adjustable desk, a bookshelf for my figures and Legos, and another bookshelf with glass doors for my books to keep them dust-free and stylish. I carefully chose a Baroque/wood-like color scheme, which gives the space a much better overall look. Currently, I’m using two monitors, but in the future, I’m considering upgrading to a larger display, like the Odyssey Neo G9 (49" or 57"). I think such a monitor would fit the setup perfectly.

Playing games is more than just a hobby for me; it's a passion that goes beyond mere entertainment. It's an escape, a challenge, and sometimes even a way to connect with others. Gaming allows me to immerse myself in new worlds, solve complex problems, and experience stories in a way no other medium can offer. It's not just about passing time; it's about the thrill of competition, the joy of exploration, and the satisfaction of achieving something meaningful. For me, gaming is a blend of creativity, strategy, and emotion—a true part of who I am. I always wanted a PlayStation as a child, but I couldn’t get one until the PS4 was released. Before that, I had chances to play on the PS1, PS2, and PS3 at friends’ houses, in internet cafes, and other places. Still, I never owned one for a long time. Now, 30 years later, PlayStation announced its 30th Anniversary. I really wanted to get the special edition DualSense controller for myself. However, after waiting for a while, I couldn’t find one and eventually forgot about it—until last week when I saw it and finally got it. It looks incredible, and the way you can feel the action through it is truly amazing.

I remember the scene where Obi-Wan arrives at the clone factory and sees Boba and Jango Fett. It’s one of the scenes that stuck with me.

A thought visits me often: are we really free? Sometimes, yes. Sometimes, no. If we have all the money but no time, are we truly free? If we live in a place that doesn’t feel like home, that doesn’t embrace us, is that freedom?
We are free when we are with our loved ones, when we laugh, when we travel without limits. Yes, freedom has its cost, but it doesn’t have to be your entire life! True freedom is working where you love, doing what you’re passionate about, and surrounding yourself with good people. That’s when you’re truly free.

Not all seekers find, but those who find are seekers

I need to filter out the fight, noise, tension, I need to stop and calmly make rational decisions, there is no need to worry, if something is not going the way I want, I will first try to fix it, if it does not change, I should apply my own solution or alternative way.
Today I bought a lunch box, I have wanted this for a long time because I did not want to eat unhealthy or the same things all the time, now I can take food from home.
Apart from these, I helped someone's mourning process today, as I myself lost a person I valued very much about 2 years ago and went through similar processes, I helped him
I performed a Deepseek r1 test and according to my first impressions, I was extremely satisfied, this quality at this price is incredible
My interest in Turkish literature and works has increased recently and the 3rd book I read this year, "Vatan Yahut Silistre" is a valuable book in these times the country is going through.
I have created the RSS feeder that I have been planning for a long time, although it is not what I want in the first stage, I believe it will be in the long run
today I listened to a podcast by a former prime minister of Canada and I didn't get some of his good words/advice;
Be on the job when luck passes, luck prefers to be prepared
Sleep on big choices
Honesty > short-term gains. Stand behind decisions in line with your principles
Not everyone will like you. Focus on what matters and don't waste your energy on naysayers,
Self-confidence comes from self-acceptance, not universal approval

Artificial intelligence that learns from humans will be blocked at some point, but artificial intelligence that learns on its own, I think this is the future, deepseek is a good example of this

You need to find an ultimate goal, you need to find a cause to work day and night for, whether it is for your family to prosper, whether it is to change the future

Everything that you fear, that you think you cannot know, becomes easier and clearer when the time comes.
Those who create something for the first time, find it for the first time or build a system are the ones who have the most difficulty, but there is no need to reinvent the wheel, but we can make better things by using it, shaping it according to our needs
Spotify > Apple Music: I used youtube music for a while via youtube premium, but at some point I realized that I didn't want to pay for youtube, so I canceled the subscription, I had either apple music or spotify, apple music gave me a 3-month free trial, but its usage interface, opening and closing files, etc. such features were extremely tiring when it should have been simple, and I went back to spotify after a long break and I am very happy with this decision, whether it is the podcasts I listen to, the ease of creating playlists, ai recommendation is very good.

I’ve been experimenting with and testing AI for a long time. Since the early days when it became available to consumers, I’ve been trying to integrate it into my life. I’m not limited to a single AI I’ve spent time testing various models, including smaller ones locally. From ChatGPT to Perplexity, I’ve tried almost all of them: DeepSeek, Gemini, Claude, and more. At different times, they outperform each other or specialize in specific areas. For instance, I use Gemini for deep research, Claude for coding, and Perplexity for browsing the internet. If I could find one AI that handles all these tasks at a decent level it doesn’t have to be the best I’d prefer it. I don’t think it’s ideal to rely on too many different tools.

Today I went to the doctor and found out that I had psoriasis, this is the point where stress and boredom brought me, let this be a turning point for me and I will pay attention as much as I can from now on, it will be a tiring process, but I have no doubt that I will get rid of it.

Rejection: I am not this. What am I doing? What am I going to do? I am a social butterfly, and so on.
Acceptance: I think this is a good periodic process in my current state. I will improve myself here. I might feel a little lonely, but I will get through this.
Ascension: At the end of this period, the ascension will begin. This is the situation I have accepted, and this new identity is now mine. I need to embrace and accept it. I’ll take opportunities for the better. The important thing is to do things regularly—even if they’re small—to strive for progress, and not to try to do everything at once or get upset when I can’t.

Sometimes not going in the direction you want takes you in the direction you need

It is not the place itself that is sacred or special to someone, but rather what happens there how secret and sacred those events are. For example, a bedroom might hold significance for someone who is not married, but would it be sacred if nothing has happened or will happen there? Similarly, how sacred is what occurs in a house without the presence of those who have lived there or the memories tied to it?

I have been having problems with my internet for a long time, I was forced to use 8 Mbps Adsl due to my location and I could not even request to switch to fibre, so I switched to hypernet, they gave 24 Mbps, but since my room was too far from the modem, I was getting 5-6 Mbps, let alone 24 Mbps, I researched the reason a lot and found the solution in setting up an external mesh network inside the house and after setting it up, I went up to about 21-22 Mbps, the technology is really very good, this is the exact same product I shared in the picture, I recommend Mercusys, a sub-brand of TP-Link company specialised in this field.
