Interesting, but this seems to solve the wrong problem. I already know that the ice cream maker sitting on the shelf hasn't been used in 5 years. The problem is... what if I want to make ice cream?
Say you have only 5 colors: green, blue, orange, purple, red.
1st year: green
2nd year: replace the green dot with blue
3rd year: replace the blue dot with orange
4th year: replace the orange dot with purple
5th year: replace the purple dot with red
6th year: red + add green dot
7th year: red + replace the green dot with blue

sometimes I see no dots on things that are cool and I have this innate urge to want to hold onto. One example is a Picomotor piezo actuator. It's a really cool piece of technology. I want to believe so badly that I'll use it in a project someday. but after four years and seeing zero dots on it, it's like having concrete evidence PROVING that I'm delusionally optimistic about how useful it is. I can't ignore the reali…
First, great system. Second, I am going to pine for an electronic version and having read the post I get it. Feel free to laugh and read the next comment. That said there are two aspects to this system that come to mind immediately: - The value of the information: This is the purpose of the dots and, I think the stated reason for the dots. - The value of the process: If you did this and didn't have the final dot info…
The easiest way would be to setup some cameras and start recording everything. Gemini could already sort that into events you could query. If you have privacy concerns, at the current pace of progress, local LLMs should be up to the task soon if they aren't already.
Brilliant. So now you have no clutter but your office looks like it has chicken pox.
My low-tech solution to organizing electronic parts is to use shoeboxes, with written labels at the end, and plastic bags inside to organize the various groups of items. They stack, and I am lazy, and so I put the one I just pulled out from the middle of the stack back on top. So the ones on top are the ones I use. If they are at the bottom they don't get used much. On the other hand, I don't care which ones I use a…
shoeboxes are a great size for containers, but does it bother you that they aren't transparent? I really like having clear containers.
To those saying it doesn't look good, why not make the dots like levels? Say you have only 5 colors: green, blue, orange, purple, red. 1st year: green 2nd year: replace the green dot with blue 3rd year: replace the blue dot with orange 4th year: replace the orange dot with purple 5th year: replace the purple dot with red 6th year: red + add green dot 7th year: red + replace the green dot with blue Even if you use a b…

5 years isn't really that long though. I have things that I haven't touched in 25 years that I'm still worried I might need.
