I'll demonstrate how Emacs serves as both +the development environment and user interface for a system that now +encompasses over 1000 subsystems including meal planning, financial +forecasting, medical management, and emergency preparedness. + +Key highlights include: + +Technical Architecture: How we've built FLP using SWI-Prolog as the core +reasoning engine, with Emacs providing the primary interface through 4680+ +custom ELisp functions. I'll show the integration of modern LLMs (Llama3, +DeepSeek-Prover-V2, etc) with classical AI planning systems (PDDL planners, +behavior trees, agent-based systems) all orchestrated through Emacs. + +Security Evolution: The transition from the original internet-connected +FRDCSA/FLP to air-gapped systems, and the development of FRKCSA/FLP2 as +open-source, internet-facing reboots. How we balance powerful AI +capabilities with privacy and security concerns. + +Real-World Impact: Using generative AI and our PresGen presentation system, +I'll showcase documented case studies where FLP has helped users navigate +homelessness, medical crises, and benefit loss scenarios. These aren't +hypothetical use cases - they represent the system's practical application +to urgent human needs. + +Emacs Integration: Deep dive into our Emacs-based development workflow, +including the CLEAR book reader for academic research, Verber planning +domain editor, UniLang integration for multi-system communication, and our +Academician mode for synchronized document processing. How Emacs serves as +mission control for a complex AI ecosystem. + +AI Planning Systems: Demonstration of how we've integrated automated +planning, temporal reasoning, and contingency planning into daily life +management. Users can ask "How do I get through the next month if I lose my +job?" and receive detailed, executable plans. + +Community Building: How FLP facilitates mutual aid networks and community +resilience, turning individual survival into collective thriving. The +system doesn't just help people - it helps them help each other. + +Future Directions: The roadmap for FLP2, including improved security +models, enhanced AI integration, and broader accessibility. How we're +preparing for a world where AI-powered life assistance could become a +virtual social safety net. + +This presentation will use our PresGen system to generate slides +dynamically, incorporating the latest AI developments and real user +feedback. Attendees will see both the technical implementation and the +humanitarian vision that drives this project - demonstrating how Emacs can +be the foundation for transformative social technology. + +About the speaker: + +Andrew Dougherty is the creator of the FRDCSA (Formalized Research +Database: Cluster, Study and Apply) and Free Life Planner projects. For +over 25 years, he has worked on integrating AI systems to solve real-world +problems, with a focus on helping vulnerable populations navigate complex +life challenges. His work spans automated planning, knowledge +representation, and practical AI applications. Andrew presented FRDCSA at +EmacsConf 2019 and has continued developing these systems with Emacs as the +primary development and deployment environment. He believes in using AI +technology to strengthen communities and provide practical assistance to +those who need it most. + + + +[[!inline pages="internal(2025/info/life-after)" raw="yes"]] + +[[!inline pages="internal(2025/info/life-nav)" raw="yes"]] + + diff --git a/2025/talks/reference.md b/2025/talks/reference.md new file mode 100644 index 00000000..bfffd5db --- /dev/null +++ b/2025/talks/reference.md @@ -0,0 +1,67 @@ +[[!meta title="Emacs as a fully-fledged reference manager"]] +[[!meta copyright="Copyright © 2025 Vidianos Giannitsis"]] +[[!inline pages="internal(2025/info/reference-nav)" raw="yes"]] + +<!-- Initially generated with emacsconf-publish-talk-page and then left alone for manual editing --> +<!-- You can manually edit this file to update the abstract, add links, etc. ---> + + +# Emacs as a fully-fledged reference manager +Vidianos Giannitsis (he/him) - IRC: vidianos, <https://github.com/Vidianos-Giannitsis>.

Zotero was just too convenient. You can capture articles +seamlessly (although downloading attachments didn't always work as +intended), organize them in directories and take a quick look at your +lists to determine what to read next, before you move on to actually +reading them and taking notes. + +This year, I finally decided that I am tired of this and I will find a +way to do this fully in Emacs. This talk will be discussing my findings +in this regard. A lot of this was built in Ebib. It turns out that a lot +of what I considered useful for this workflow was already available +through this excellent software, built inside Emacs. Not everything +worked as I wanted on installation, but naturally, this is Emacs, so I +just hacked my way through getting the exact behaviour I wanted. This +required integration with other tools and especially a closer +interaction between Ebib and Org-roam. This came out incredible and I am +now very happy with using it, so I thought I should also showcase it in +EmacsConf! + +With this integration ready, only capturing articles from the web +remains. Zotra can capture articles in a way about as seamless as +Zotero's (it actually uses Zotero's translators, but from Emacs). +Attachments remain a problem sometimes, but that's publishers making +attachments hard to get because third party software can't see that you +have full access to them, so I have decided to do those mostly manually, +I often did that with Zotero anyways. + +Relevant links: + +- [Zotra - Capturing Articles](https://github.com/mpedramfar/zotra) +- [Ebib - Organizing literature before and after reading](https://joostkremers.github.io/ebib/) +- [Org-Roam - The missing link to create an effective reading list](https://www.orgroam.com/) +- [Bibtex Completion - Useful tools for manipulating literature](https://github.com/tmalsburg/helm-bibtex) + +About the speaker: + +I'm Vidianos and I'm currently doing my PhD in KU Leuven in Belgium. +Working on research means I have a need for good tools to help me with +my research. I have been using Emacs for roughly 5 years now and I can +confidently say it is the number one tool that helps me with this +research. This talk will be all about how it helps me and about finally +being able to remove external reference managers from my workflow, +something I have wanted for years, but that I haven't managed to do +before this. + + + +[[!inline pages="internal(2025/info/reference-after)" raw="yes"]] + +[[!inline pages="internal(2025/info/reference-nav)" raw="yes"]] + + |
