Signs of COVID-19

Humans panic. Handshake, hug, cheek kissing now replaced with shoe or elbow touch. Be suspicious of each other, maintain a distance. Economy collapse. Stock market fall out. Marriage & death ceremony abolished. Mother give birth in trouble. Hospital & medical overwhelmed. Worried, afraid, sad, hit humans. The cause?? Gosh... just a weak micro creature, a virus, which is pressed by finger surely dead but its strength is incredible.

Mecca, Medina, Vatican, Wailing Wall, Buddhist Monastery, Hindu Temple, and almost all worship places around the world was closed for human during this pandemic. Billions of people retreated to their cage. The world feels lonely, silent, empty. Maybe God is angry. As if want to say : "Go away you human, no need to look for me anymore"

Maybe God is getting bored seeing our behavior, which is always wrong and proud of sin. Or nature begin to be reluctant to befriend us. Hopefully in this quarantine period, human can aware and apologize to Him.

Thank you for reading my simple premonition. A simple omen for mankind.

    I have heard many stories about the signs of the end times. But this time caught my attention.
    Did you get divine inspiration before writing this post ?

      Suddenly I got the idea to write this post because the corona pandemic is so extraordinary. I don't know whether it is called divine inspiration.

Agentic Browsing and Copyright Infringement Issues in AI Training

A few days ago, just for fun, I checked this blog's page load speed on Google Page Speed Insights . I was intrigued by a new metric called Agentic Browsing (AI-agent-based browsing). This metric measures how user-friendly a website is for an AI agent to read and navigate. It can even autonomously click, fill out forms, and make purchases on behalf of the user. But Agentic Browsing is still under development and subject to change. In the past, search engines like Google, Bing, or Yandex only presented search results. It took time to open dozens or even hundreds of websites one by one to find the most relevant answers. A hassle, right? In the era of AI-powered personal assistants, AI agents summarize information and directly answer user's questions. They can do this because AI models are trained on vast amounts of data collected from across the web . I prefer to call it secretly scraping/collecting data without the copyright holder's permission. This raises the question: Ar...

HIV / AIDS - Shame Or Disease

The first known case of HIV in Indonesia was from a foreign tourist in Bali in 1987 and now has reached a level that is very concerned. According to State Minister of Development Planning / Chairperson of the National Development Planning Agency (Indonesian: Menteri Negara Perencanaan Pembangunan/Kepala Bappenas), Paskah Suzetta, in 2004, AIDS cases are only found in 16 provinces, but at the end of the year 2007 the same case was found in 32 provinces in Indonesia. There has been many studies on the obstacles in dealing with HIV disease. But in this post, I will see it from the viewpoint of social stigma in eastern culture. There is paradigm (in this case from my personal observation in Indonesia) that should be overcome particularly to the matters related to sexually transmitted disease, that is: Feel ashamed if infected by HIV because that was considered as venereal disease, therefore the sufferer tend to close himself. Feel ashamed to be considered as committing adultery. There is a...

Waiting in Line: A Simple Habit That Teaches Many Lessons in Character Building

What? Talking about waiting in line? Yeah! Why not? Maybe you think this is a useless, trivial topic. But I witnessed several incidents of scrambling over the distribution of free basic food. Either the aid was from the government or from the UN. Even some people died as a result of being trampled under foot. It could be that the distribution method is not done correctly. But I think it's more about people's patience. In many cases, maybe you have heard stories about the method of bribing officers so that their wishes can be processed more quickly without having to queue. I have not found a study/research about which countries are the most disciplined in queuing. But from what I have heard and read so far, it is Japan. Changing the character of an adult (or an old person) is not easy. It's easier to educate children from birth. I'm talking about this topic not because I'm better than you. I'm just thinking about how to shape the character of our children as the ...
