Yes, org mode is the standard to compare to but all of them are great.

The thing about org mode is everything is a heading composed of some text and subheadings. It is self similar across scales (as many subheadings deep as you want) which leads to a playful and easy compossibility. Org mode is an elegant thinking tool as much as it is anything else and it is the only digital tool that gives me that mental boost like a pen and paper do.

You can use Logseq in a similar way and its automatic daily journal entry is great for getting information into your system quick but org mode makes my brain buzz…

Don’t get hung up on the “limitations” of hierarchies/trees, yes this is artificial in that in nature information isn’t necessarily hierarchical, but our memory and thinking work by chunking, by joining the chaos of a rainstorm into tributaries, streams and eventually one unified flow at the delta of our life. In otherwords seeing it as a branching series of growths is backwards, it is meant to be a progessively intertwining series of flows.

Altman is the Rasputin of Silicon Valley though, he is on a whole different level of hallucinatory nonsense that powerful people at the top are enamored by.

What was the last non-gibberish thing Altman has said?

I feel like he has been playing the “you can only speak in gibberish” improv game for as long as I can remember.

err, you sound like an FBI agent trying to provoke people into saying wild shit…

Na, let’s not talk about casually bombing media outlets, it only normalizes things further in a dark way.

What bootlicking nonsense.

1. encourage yourself to make a comment/interact with things you like so you can find them through your profile history. Try to see interaction as a process of remembering.

2. use a link tree system such as logseq, obsidian, siyuan or org mode to save interesting links within a resilient context. Bookmark tools are so useless our brains often just try to retain context in our working memory, a metaphorical and often literal state of a million open tabs that we try to hold on to leading inveitably to a state of suspension at what feels like the event horizon of forgetting.

KEVIN Birmingham’s new book about the long censorship fight over James Joyce’s Ulysses braids eight or nine good stories into one mighty strand.

It’s about women’s rights and heroic female editors, the First World War, anarchism and modernism, tenderness and syphilis, moral panic and about the Lost Generation and the tent it pitched at Sylvia Beach’s Paris bookstore. It isolates a great love story, that of Joyce and Nora Barnacle, one that comes with a finger-burning side order of some of the most cheerfully filthy correspondence in literary history.

And what a quest it was. “Ulysses” was illegal to own in most of the English-speaking world for more than a decade. It was banned, burned, debated, smuggled, and finally legalized following a 1933 court ruling. In Birmingham’s highly readable and erudite book, he infuses this story with drama, reminding us that the right to express oneself can never be taken for granted.

Readers will quickly realize the immense scope of “The Most Dangerous Book.” Modernism, obscenity, the power once held by postal authorities, vice squads, 19th century English law, Joyce’s sex life and health problems, The Lost Generation, early literary magazines, Wall Street lawyers, the suffrage movement, anarchy in America, and even the Enlightenment are all seamlessly woven into this most fascinating tapestry.

No.

There is a shortage of decent nursing jobs that treat workers well and pay them a living wage.

There is NOT a shortage of nurses.

“What are they fighting back? They’re the perpetrators.”

Call it what it is, this is indiscriminate murder.

Turtle Island’s Butthole

The real problem in this Sept. 8 decision is that the Supreme Court justices are now saying the quiet part aloud: Brown skin is a problem to be policed. And that leaves us with a dangerous question—can a country built on such contradictions hold together when its highest court openly sanctions racism against millions of its own people?

I don’t think it can or maybe it is that I don’t want to think about a preservation of so much suffering in an unnatural state of cruelty because it is too cynical.

I don’t think that excuses this.

It takes emotional labor to separate people from the situations/context you interact with them in. Part of work culture should be making sure that people aren’t too stressed and tired to do this labor by unrealistic work demands and inhumane treatment.

From what I understand about nursing, at least in my country, this is systematically an issue of pushing people too hard so I would say give yourself slack for not being perfectly aloof.

No, the AI was most certainly trained on the same stack overflow posts as humans would manually search out in the past.

Thus the effective difference is precisely that between an active attempt to understand and blindly copying since the AI is specifically there to introduce a stochastic opaqueness between truth (i.e. sufficiently curated training data) and interpretation of truth.

There is a context to stackoverflow posts and comments that can be analyzed from many different perspectives by the human brain (who posted the question with what tone, do the answers/comments tend to agree, how long ago was it pasted etc…), by definition the way LLMs work they destroy that in favor of a hallucinating disembodied voice.

Are you aware of a little thing called the climate catastrophe that is unfolding as we speak?

This is beautiful.

These are truly lyrics, they are begging for a banger of a pop music video.

Hmmm good point!

ah gotcha!
