Deep Partial Lunar Eclipse ✨ August 2026, over Lake Ontario A lunar eclipse is basically watching a sunset on the moon ☀️🌏🌑 Light from the sun passes through the Earth's atmosphere, scattering red wavelengths that pass deep into Earth's shadow (the umbra). The blue band comes from light passing through the ozone layer of our atmosphere. This eclipse, the moon only reached 96% coverage, leaving a sliver of full illumination rather than reaching full totality. This is a series of shots, built from 5000 photos I took during the eclipse. I shot a timelapse of bracketed exposures to capture the depths of the eclipsed darkeness and the blinding brightness of the remaining sliver. I then took each phase of the eclipse and merged the brackets into an HDR shot to preserve the shadows and the highlights. EXIF Data: 1/320 to 8s, ISO 100, F11 Brackets from 3 to 9 shots Sony A7ill Sony 100-400 mm with 1.4x teleconverter Star adventurer tracker & mount

Why do we need agentic memory? Well, many tools come with built-in memory, but this is effectively a system prompt, it uses up context every session & includes information that may not be relevant for the problem at hand. Memory tools insert context as you query the agent, so the relevant context is given when you need it. You can even share a single memory system across tools too. I made a video that explains why & how agent memory works ✨ Improved AI Memory? 🧠 Full Hermes Tutorial (Mnemosyne & Hindsight) https://youtu.be/R1TNGOZAOZs

Should I have a separate obsidian vault for my agent? Is it possible to limit access to my human files for my agent? I put together a video that explores these questions and shows how to scope access to an obsidian vault for agentic AI, using Hermes as an example ✨ Obsidian + Agentic AI? 🧠 Full Hermes Obsidian Workflow & Wiki Prep https://youtu.be/znj-WpMj1dIho

The benefit of a self-learning agentic comes from being able to access the same agent from anywhere. One brain, one memory, one compounding agent.

Before running an ai agent, I wanted to learn how to mitigate risk of it going rogue or being maliciously manipulated. When setting up Hermes, I learned that you can easily set all coding to happen in a “contained” terminal execution backend with docker. This video walks through how to set up a container for your agent to protect your data & computer ✨ Safer Agentic AI? 🧠 Full Docker + Hermes Agent Tutorial (Desktop) https://youtu.be/v_E42FkgH2Iu

Have you tried Hermes Agent? Hermes is an agentic ai that gets smarter with every interaction. You ask it to do something once, it remembers. You ask it to do that again, and it does better the next time. Built in learning loop, persistent memory, and self authoring skills make Hermes different than other agents I’ve tried.

For anyone looking at running a local model for ai agents, I put together a video to help you going, along with tips on how to customize your context for agentic ai (essential for tools like Hermes)✨ If you already run local models, my goal with this video was to help people who are new to it or agentic ai, so consider sharing with them 🫡 Run Your Own AI? 🦙 Full Ollama Setup + Practical Agentic AI https://youtu.be/4KXLW9Y1r4c

Digital gardening is one of the best ways to curate your own information in a way that you actually think. Curation is an underrated model for dealing with information overload, and the generation effect (putting learnings in your own words) makes cultivating a garden a great exercise ✨ What Is A Digital Garden? 🌱 Benefits & Philosophy - Obsidian PKM https://youtu.be/en56OKg5hyc

I've been exploring self-evolving AI agents lately & put some of my experiments together in a video ✨ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t8j8_rB6EQo AGENTS.md, Skills, Memories, & Automation systems help build a system that gets better the more you use it. I use Codex here, but the concepts apply to any agentic tool
