Tell a story

Story is the oldest tool for dealing with lack of memory.

A story has flow to assist memorisation
Hierarchy - to assist comprehension and recollection. Break things down.

Historical narrative of something is a ready made story Process storyline - what were the steps we took to build something Anecdotal examples. This is what happened when I went to build X

Since you were a child you have been training yourself to understand stories.
Don't search for topics, select them

Don't ask "what should I say?" -- this is, what are the important things I can recall with mental effort, won't give us the best results.

Ask - what could I say -- what would I recognise if I saw it in front of me.

Dump your entire knowledge of the subject in any order. To analyse, don't prioritise. Just write. -- pick out the 5 main points, find a story to connect those points -- if something doesn't connect, replace it -- put each bit under those points -- drop anything that doesn't fit under a point

Serverabwärme als "nachhaltige" Wärmequelle für Gebäude

Wenn Du das ursächliche Problem nicht verstanden hast, bekämpfst Du nur Symptome:

Systeme der ersten Generation von Serwas basierend auf Bitcoin-Minern sind bereits in privaten und gewerblichen Gebäuden im Einsatz, unter anderem zur Nutzung von PV-Überschussstrom. Aktuell arbeitet das Start-up in Kooperation mit den Innsbrucker Kommunalbetrieben (IKB) an einem Pilotprojekt, bei dem Abwärme von Servern für KI-Anwendungen zur Beheizung des Amraser Schwimmbads genutzt werden soll.

Google's new command-line tool can plug OpenClaw into your Workspace data - Ars Technica

The command line is hot again. For some people, command lines were never not hot, of course, but it’s becoming more common now in the age of AI. Google launched a Gemini command-line tool last year, and now it has a new AI-centric command-line option for cloud products. The new Google Workspace CLI bundles the company’s existing cloud APIs into a package that makes it easy to integrate with a variety of AI tools, including OpenClaw. How do you know this setup won’t blow up and delete all your data? That’s the fun part—you don’t.

Trapped in MS Office

critical imbalance for Europe lies in software.1 Economically and politically, US high tech makes Europe look like the loser that Twitter portrays it as on a daily basis. Europe’s digital dependency on the United States has quietly become a geopolitical risk.2 The tariff wars did not create that vulnerability. They exposed it. If that infrastructure were ever used as a political weapon, the consequences would be devastating.

In 2026, this scenario is no longer that far-fetched. The US economy needs Europe buying its tech. One year without EU income would be very difficult. But Europe completely depends on US tech to function. Even a temporary disruption to core US platforms would severely disrupt European administration, logistics, and finance. With the rise of AI technologies, the dependency will only increase.3
