i start to save

In line with my previous post entitled saving money weekly, I start to save. I want to prove that I can do what I preach. So, I got myself an another account aside from the payroll where the funds will be coming from


Nothing special... just a regular saving account from a local bank.

Happy Saving!

Prompt Analysis Using First-Principles Thinking (FPT)

Instead of memorizing existing prompt patterns, let’s break down Prompt Analysis from First-Principles Thinking (FPT) —understanding what makes a prompt effective at its core and how to optimize it for better AI responses. Step 1: What is a Prompt? At its most fundamental level, a prompt is just: An input instruction → What you ask the AI to do. Context or constraints → Additional details that guide the response. Expected output format → Defining how the AI should structure its answer. A well-designed prompt maximizes relevance, clarity, and accuracy while minimizing misunderstandings. Step 2: Why Do Prompts Fail? Prompts fail when: ❌ Ambiguity exists → The model doesn’t know what’s truly being asked. ❌ Lack of context → Missing background information leads to weak responses. ❌ Overloaded instructions → Too many requirements confuse the AI. ❌ Vague output expectations → No clear structure is provided. ❌ Incorrect assumptions about AI behavior → The prompt d...

saving money weekly

I came across a an idea called 52 Week Money Challenge. Let me share to you how it works. The idea is to save Php62,900.00 in 52 weeks(one year) and we start with only Php50.00. What is it? From the label 52 Week Money Challenge, it's a Challenge. It's about saving Money. It runs for 52 weeks (1 year). In a nutshell, you religiously save an increasing amount for the whole year. How do you do it? For the first week, you save Php50.00. On the second week, you save the same amount as last week, which is Php50.00 - plus additional Php50.00. That's Php100.00 On the third week, you save the same amount as last week, which is Php100.00 - Plus additional Php50.00. That's Php150.00 On the fourth week, you save the same amount as last week, which is Php150.00 - Plus additional Php50.00. That's Php200.00 You repeat the cycle for one year or 52 weeks. Enjoy your money. Minimum Requirements: Make sure you can wait for one year You have an income for at leas...

Contextual Stratification - Chapter 12: No Floor

The Search for the Bottom Throughout history, humans have searched for the ground floor of reality, the most fundamental level from which everything else emerges. The ancient Greeks proposed atoms: indivisible particles that couldn't be broken down further. Two thousand years later, we discovered atoms could be split, revealing electrons, protons, and neutrons. Surely these were fundamental? Then we found that protons and neutrons contained quarks. Perhaps quarks are fundamental? String theory suggests they might be vibrations of one-dimensional strings. Perhaps strings are fundamental? Some theories propose even strings are composed of more basic structures; branes, loops, or mathematical objects we don't yet have names for. Each generation believes it has reached the bottom, only to discover deeper structure. This could be a temporary state, we just haven't dug deep enough yet. Eventually we'll hit the truly fundamental level, and the digging will stop. Or it could be...
