Generative AI statement

Which is good.

But it makes me wonder about “wherever possible”. In which case wouldn’t it be possible and why would it remain if it’s not possible?

I view it as: each time you answer the same question you are forced to reincorporate everything you’ve learned since the last time you’ve answered it. Which makes you reassess your chain of thought and maybe come to a different conclusion. And thereby learning something new.

tangentially related, but The Scene was a fun mini series

Slack. Deactivates a seat after 28 days of inactivity. A really good practice.

edit: and obviously reactivates after activity

Yeah, a very admirable project indeed.

There’s an unmistakable rhythm beginning with first paragraph. The trigger was “Same problems, same Apple M4 Pro, real numbers.” in third for me.

I’m scarred to detect these things by my own AI usage.

Ultimately it’s up to the author to make that explicit choice. I think that AI does and will enhance writing and depth and breadth of analysis one could perform. But, to be trustworthy, people will need to either lay out all cards on the table and/or work on other ways to gain trust over time. Maybe people need to provide some context to communicate what model was used and in which ways. What % of final output is AI vs author. I mean, if I see 100% composed by human author stated somewhere then there’s my cue to at the very least learn a little about the author. Certainly more complexity and discernment for readers. Depressing? In some ways maybe; but I’m kind of optimistic. Imagine what Tolkien could worldbuild armed with AI.. but then it wouldn’t be Tolkien.

Your initial focus is to prioritize which content to consume.

I believe it

Significant AI smell in this write up. As a result, my current reflex is to immediately stop reading. Not judgement on the actual analysis and human effort which went in. It’s just that the other context is missing.

Their goal of moving compute to space combined with their capacity to launch tons of payload will make this look like a tiny blip.

Whale meat is so iron rich. Basically eating liver.

Now reindeer steak — that’s excellent!

iOS has been so bad at it; selecting text to copy and then find out the last one or two characters are missing :/

I wonder what proportion of traffic is AI model weights being served. They are huge files, lots of mostly duplicated + fine tuned versions, lots of interest to download the latest and greatest, lots of ML aficionados grabbing them.

I like to drop anything interesting I find throughout my day into daily journal in Obsidian (using iOS “Share via..”) for later review.

It works fine, but:

1. I prefer how logseq displays each day as a timeline so I can review the last few days easily (in Obsidian you check each file for each day one by one)

2. I like that logseq operates more granular on block level (bullet points) as opposed to pages, so I could reference blocks instead of pages.

I think interlinking thoughts and noted on block/bullet level would be helpful in finding content or thoughts I came across in the past. In Obsidian, it’s only possible via searching, manual tagging, and manual content management, which seems like a waste of time. I want to eliminate the friction for inbound information.

Both of these apps actually suffer from the same issue — on iOS, if the app hasn’t been initialized recently, it won’t actually drop the content using “Share via..” widget, it will just open the note for today. Sometimes you have to do it twice.

In terms of configuration, the way it would work is, in Obsidian, you configure the daily journal to use the same directory and naming convention to match Logseq. They both read/write the same markdown files, so it works seamlessly.

I used Joplin for a few years and loved it. I quit evernote as soon as it lost all of my notes years ago.

Switched to Obsidian for faster startup time, which is at the top of my feature list for such apps. Joplin got worse over time with more notes. I considered Roam and Notion, but having to pay AND slow startup made no sense, although Notion features are quite nice.

Now thinking about adding Logseq to work with my Obsidian.

I also think DEVONthink is great closed source app for research especially where you can index and search all of your PDF collection and it will give you closest matching files and content with respect to your current file. Many other great features. But it’s Mac/iOS-only app, lacks of linux/windows support. Startup time is very slow. And UX for note taking is kind of unpleasant to work with. I really want to use it but I can’t for all of these reasons. It’s like an expensive car which you own but never want to drive.

I feel like this DIY project needs its own DIY to build a cheaper 32” e-ink screen.

Sarcasm aside, thanks for sharing! The largest display I’ve seen has been 11” until now.

Nice. I think you have potential to do great. You have a nice voice which is easy to listen to and you’re going at the right pace. Music volume is just right. Keep at it.

this, and the soundtrack in the sibling reply is giving me fantastic series of flashbacks. thank you

UX gripe: It would be nice if YouTube remembered where I stopped watching a 3 hour video, so that I would not have to seek myself next time I resume. Spotify does it and it’s so convenient!!!

Ideally yes, but in reality it’s hard to keep synchronous conversation via a tracker which is usually not a real time chat. Usually it’s important to clarify reported issues vs whether it was correctly understood right away.

Thanks so much! Appreciate you doing this.

A benefit of infinite scroll bar is that it takes up less mental overhead by reaching content with fewer taps or clicks on target on a page.

They must have been being cute.

This book has a great overview of the origins of library genesis.

A ..formidable response to Tesla’s humanoid robot project.

It seems that taxonomy is what you would like to learn only after the subject piqued your interest, in my experience, looking back at early school years. Prior to gaining interest, it felt like such a drudgery. After that, however, it’s like an map to navigate the subject matter. It becomes fun in itself, as you point out. I guess it’s a level of abstraction preferred by folks with expertise, but less so by beginners.
