    1. When you give a task to your agent, make sure you also explain how the code should be organized. Not only value, but also structure.

      【启发】这条实操建议揭示了一个普遍被忽视的 Prompt 盲区:大多数人给 AI 下达编程任务时,只描述「做什么」,从不描述「怎么组织」。这相当于只告诉一个新员工「实现这个功能」,却从不告诉他「我们的代码规范是什么」。对所有使用 Vibe Coding 的人来说,这条建议应该成为标准操作流程的一部分——在每次任务 Prompt 中,主动加入结构约束。

    1. because coding has a tight human-in-the-loop workflow, with developers still overseeing the development process today, these tools enable accelerated output while still making space for human judgment to review, edit, and iterate.

      「人在环路」是编程 AI 爆发的关键因素,而非阻碍。这个洞见颠覆了常见的「人机协作摩擦论」:恰恰是因为开发者需要审查代码,AI 生成的错误有人把关,企业才愿意大规模部署。这说明 AI 在「可验证 + 人类兜底」的领域最容易突破——其他领域想复制这个成功模式,需要先建立同等的验证机制。

    1. Context compounds: the more an LLM knows about you, the better results it can provide and the more you use it.

      这揭示了 AI 时代最核心的锁定机制:不是传统网络效应,而是「上下文复利」。用户与 AI 的交互历史成为最有价值的资产——积累越多,个性化越好,迁移成本越高。这比 SaaS 的数据锁定更深刻,因为 LLM 能从历史中提取洞察。未来 AI 竞争的本质,是争夺用户「数字记忆」的归属权。

    1. Each task includes a unified evaluation framework supporting sandboxed code and APIs, alongside a human reference trajectory annotated with stepwise checkpoints along dual-axis: S-axis and V-axis.

      大多数人认为AI评估可以通过简单的自动化测试完成。但作者提出需要复杂的双轴(S-axis和V-axis)人工参考轨迹和沙箱环境支持,这暗示了评估AI代理能力的极端复杂性远超当前行业的普遍认知。这一观点挑战了AI评估的简化主义倾向,强调了人类参与在评估中的不可替代性。

    1. Cephalosporins or extended-spectrum penicillins are commonly used (eg, cephalexin, 0.5 g orally four times daily for 7–10 days; see Table 35–6). Trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole (two double-strength tablets orally twice daily for 7–10 days) should be considered when there is concern that the pathogen is MRSA (see Tables 35–5 and 35–6). Vancomycin, 15 mg/kg intravenously every 12 hours, is used for patients with signs of a systemic inflammatory response.

      cephalexin, dicloxacillin, penicillin VK, amoxicillin/clavulanate, or clindamycin (for penicillin-allergic patients). [1-2] These beta-lactam antibiotics provide excellent coverage against streptococci and methicillin-susceptible S. aureus (MSSA

    1. Urgent treatment for neoplasm consists of (1) cautious use of intravenous diuretics and (2) mediastinal irradiation, starting within 24 hours, with a treatment plan designed to give a high daily dose of radiation but a short total course of therapy to rapidly shrink the local tumor. Intensive radiation therapy combined with chemotherapy will palliate the process in up to 90% of patients. In patients with a subacute presentation, radiation therapy alone usually suffices. Chemotherapy is added if lymphoma or small-cell carcinoma is diagnosed

      endovascular stenting emerging as first-line therapy for rapid symptom relief, while definitive treatment targets the underlying cause

      Glucocorticoids (dexamethasone 4 mg every 6 hours) are commonly prescribed but lack robust supporting data; they may be more beneficial in lymphoma or thymoma and as prophylaxis against radiation-induced edema. [2-4] Importantly, SVC syndrome is no longer considered a medical emergency except in rare cases with life-threatening cerebral edema, laryngeal edema, or altered mental status. When thrombosis is present, catheter-directed thrombolysis or aspiration thrombectomy should be performed within 2-5 days of symptom onset before thrombus organization occurs. [3] The role of long-term anticoagulation after stenting remains unclear, though it is standard when significant thrombosis is present The American College of Chest Physicians recommends obtaining histologic diagnosis before treatment in suspected lung cancer cases, as stenting does not interfere with tissue diagnosis. [2] For small cell lung cancer (SCLC), chemotherapy alone is recommended as first-line treatment given rapid response rates. [2] For non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), radiation therapy and/or stent insertion are recommended, with response rates of 59% for chemotherapy and 63% for radiation therapy. [2] Patients with chemotherapy- or radiation-refractory disease should receive vascular stents For device-related thrombosis (catheters, pacemakers), catheter removal should be considered in conjunction with anticoagulation. [4] Endovascular therapy is first-line for device-related obstruction, while surgical bypass may be preferred for mediastinal fibrosis. [7] Both approaches show good mid-term patency, though secondary interventions are common (approximately 27-28%

    1. Treatment of superficial vein reflux (see Varicose Veins, above) has been shown to decrease the recurrence rate of venous ulcers. Where there is substantial obstruction of the femoral or popliteal deep venous system, superficial varicosities supply the venous return and should not be removed.

      Failure of venous insufficiency ulcerations to heal is most often due to inconsistent use of first-line treatment methods. Ongoing control of edema is essential to prevent recurrent ulceration; the use of compression stockings following ulcer healing is critical, with recurrence rates 2–20 times higher if compression stockings are not used

      Duplex ultrasound evaluation should assess blood flow direction, venous reflux, and venous obstruction, and include examination of the deep venous system, great saphenous vein (GSV), small saphenous vein (SSV) and its thigh extension (Giacomini vein), accessory saphenous veins, and perforating veins. Venography is recommended primarily in patients with post-thrombotic disease, especially when intervention is planned, as it provides greater anatomic detail than duplex ultrasonograph The examination also identifies patterns of disease that have treatment implications. Axial reflux is defined as uninterrupted retrograde flow from groin to calf and can occur in either superficial or deep systems. [4] Junctional reflux is limited to the saphenofemoral or saphenopopliteal junction, while segmental reflux occurs in a portion of a truncal vein. [4] Understanding whether reflux originates from superficial junctions versus deep venous incompetence fundamentally changes treatment planning, as superficial disease is amenable to ablation while deep disease typically requires conservative management Management of secondary varicose veins from post-thrombotic syndrome (PTS) is fundamentally different and more challenging. Compression therapy, lifestyle modifications, and symptom management form the cornerstone of PTS treatment. [4-8] Elastic compression stockings (20-30 mm Hg), leg elevation, weight loss, and exercise constitute the primary therapeutic approach Endovascular interventions for PTS—including percutaneous transluminal venoplasty and stenting—are reserved for select patients with significant iliofemoral obstruction who have failed conservative management. [7] These procedures require careful patient selection and standardized criteria. The role of superficial venous ablation in PTS patients with concomitant superficial reflux remains controversial and should be approached cautiously, as the underlying deep venous pathology may limit benefit

    1. Superficial thrombophlebitis may occur spontaneously, often in pregnant or postpartum women or in individuals with varicose veins, or it may be associated with trauma, as with a blow to the leg or following intravenous therapy with irritating solutions. It also may be a manifestation of systemic hypercoagulability from abdominal cancer such as carcinoma of the pancreas

      Superficial thrombophlebitis related to a PICC may be associated with occult DVT in about 20% of cases, but occult DVT is much less commonly associated with spontaneous superficial thrombophlebitis of the saphenous vein (about 5% of cases). Pulmonary emboli are exceedingly rare and occur from an associated DVT

    1. Venoactive drugs (diosmin, hesperidin, horse chestnut seed extract) may be considered as adjuncts to compression for symptomatic relief in countries where available

    1. Aortic dissection typically presents acutely with sudden, severe tearing chest or back pain, often described as lancinating in quality. [5-6] Approximately 50% of patients with thoracic aortic aneurysm may progress to dissection without timely intervention. [5] In contrast, thoracic aortic aneurysm is usually asymptomatic and discovered incidentally during physical examination or imaging for other indications. [5]

    2. Any patient with chest or back pain with a known or suspected thoracic aorta aneurysm must be brought to the hospital and undergo urgent imaging studies to rule out the aneurysm as a cause of the pain

      elective surgical repair is suggested at 5.5 cm in patients without underlying connective tissue disorders, with earlier intervention at 4.5-5.0 cm in patients with connective tissue disorders or bicuspid aortic valve

    1. Advanced Typing - Shortcuts (1943)

      Advanced Typing: Shortcuts. 16 mm. Vol. MN-1512c. United States Navy Training Film, 1943. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JUJfCfqgsX0.

      Correct typing posture: fingers curved<br /> arms sloping up<br /> light fast strokes<br /> steady rhythm

      fast continuous motion of return lever<br /> using backing sheet (aka temping sheet ??)

      Shortcuts:<br /> mise en place for office supplies (she doesn't use this phrasing though) - greater efficiency - cuts down on searching

      tabulators can be helpful. There are two types:<br /> - automatic - handset

      Use tabs for paragraphs, dating letters, columns of numbers, and letter closings.

      To clear all tab stops, put carriage to left, hold tab clear key and move the carriage across. (Usually applies to Royal, Remington, Underwood, and Electromatic).

      On LC Smith and Woodstock machines sometimes have a tab clear lever on the back.

      Decimal tabulator keys help to align a variety of numbers around a decimal point. 09:43

      Always have a few tabs set to prevent a flying carriage which can be hard on the machine.

      When using carbon sheets which are slightly longer than the paper size, cut off a small triangle at the top left hand side. This makes it easier for one to separate the carbons from the copies by holding the top left with one hand and pulling the carbons out from the bottom of the stack.

      To align multiple sheets of paper for carbon copies, use a folded sheet at the top to taco the pages into the machine. Remove the folded sheet once the carbon pack is rolled forward.

      Paper bail rollers should be set to split the pages into thirds (for two rollers).

      Remington noiseless machines have a pressure indicator on the front of the machine (usually above the keyboard) which can be used when using thick carbon packs that may cause the ribbon guide to stick or bind.

      Only erase when the carriage is fully left or right to prevent eraser crumbs from falling into the machine. 15:26

      Use a soft eraser on carbon copies. Use and insert slips of paper behind the carbons and allowing them to stick out the sides, erasing from back sheet to front so as not to allow the eraser to mark your carbon copies. For the front sheet, use a shield and ink eraser and erase with a horizontal motion. After erasing, easily pull out the inserted sheets.

      When typing a correction, tap the key lightly two or three times rather than hard once.

      When in a rush and it's necessary to add a word (on double spacing), underline the last letter of the prior word and type a slash (/). Then move the typing line up and type the insertion above the prior line. This creates an "arrow" of sorts for the inserted word.

      Details for inserting extra letters in misspelled words using half-spacing machines. (Underwoods and Electromatics don't have this function.)

      Light pencil marks at the bottom of the sheet can help to indicate the coming bottom of the sheet.

      Putting up the card holders (fingers) on Underwoods and Royals. They help to hold the card and improve print quality and reduce noise.

      Card holders can cause markings on carbon packs if they're not lowered.

      Trick for quickly writing postcards in succession: Disengage the ratchet using the platen spring release (or variable platen switch) Type the address on the front of the card. When done give the platen a quick practiced spin. The postcard with "jump" up and stop at the paper table and be in position for rolling in the opposite direction to write the message on the back of the card! When done a faster spin of the platen will shoot the card over the back of the typewriter where it can land in a box to collect all the postcards which were written in such a manner. <br /> timestamp 23:22

      Time saving methods for addressing envelopes:

      • Front seat principle. Insert the envelope in the usual way and type out the address. When done, turn the envelope down through the machine with the right hand. With the left hand, place the next envelope between the top of the first envelope and the front of the platen. Feed the first envelope back through the machine (in reverse) and the second will be rolled in to place for typing. Continue in this fashion until finished. All the finished envelopes will stack up in the back at the paper table.

      • Chain feeding. The first envelope is inserted and rolled partway into the machine. A second envelope is inserted between the platen and the second envelope (behind the platen). Turn the first envelope to the writing line and type the address. Take out the first envelope and insert the next the same way as before.

      • Uses paper bail. Do the first envelope in the usual way. Spin it out of the machine up and behind the paper bail into a box behind the typewriter.

      For quickly doing labels or small cards:<br /> Create a small zig-zag fold into a piece of paper to create a pocket slot which can be scotch taped on either side. This template paper can then be inserted so that the pocket is visible above the writing line, but the paper below it is still in the platen. The label or card can be placed into the pocket and the platen reversed to feed the label or card in backwards to the desired typing line. Using a v-groove or hole in the typing line can create a pencil line to serve as a guide for inserting many labels at the same place so that the typing lines up between labels.

      Some offices had special platens for holding cards like this.

      Pockets like this can also be used to hold the page to add additional lines at the bottom of pages. Deeper pockets may need to be used for doing this with carbon packs whose carbons are longer than the pages.

      Alternately one can do something similar by creating a inverted u-shaped set of slits into an index card. to hold such labels.

      When in the midst of a page and needing to do another piece urgently, roll back the letter until about 2 inches from the top, and then place in the new page and one between each of the carbons. Then roll forward to do the short message as necessary. Turn back to the insertion position to remove the copies and then continue with the first letter where you left off.

      For drawing horizontal lines on typewriter paper, push the carriage to the extreme left and place the pencil or pen at the edge of the card guide and the scale. Then move the carriage to the right to effect the line. For vertical lines, put the carriage at the desired space and place the pencil at the card guide and scale and move the platen up/down as necessary.

    1. The field informs several applied fields in psychology, including, educational psychology, psychopathology, and forensic developmental psychology. It also complements several other basic research fields in psychology including social psychology, cognitive psychology, and comparative psychology. Lastly, it draws from the theories and research of several scientific fields including biology, sociology, health care, nutrition, and anthropology.

      THE MAGIC OF BELLE ISLE (Magnolia Pictures, 2012) features an Underwood standard at about the 31 minute mark.

      Morgan Freeman says: "Look at that machine. I like that you have to write a bit slower on a manual. Like the way it sounds. I like the way that the letters bite into the paper. I like that you can feel there's a genuine human being, doing the work."<br /> (doublecheck the exact quote)

    1. De “call-in bevoegdheid” komt voort uit een initiatiefwetsvoorstel van GroenLinks-PvdA kamerlid Bushoff. De gedachte daarbij is dat bedrijfsovernames, ook als er nog geen gevaar is voor een echt monopolie, toch ongewenst kunnen zijn. Het voorstel noemt daarbij Co-Med, waar veel huisartsenpraktijken onder gingen vallen, met vervelende gevolgen. Deze bevoegdheid lijkt ook best gevolgen te kunnen hebben voor overnames van Solvinity-achtige bedrijven met lokaal zeer belangrijke posities.

      call-in bevoegdheid is een NL instrument, om in te kunnen grijpen bij bedrijfsovernames met grote externaliteiten voor de publieke zaak.

    1. DINGMAN: Duane says that from the time he opened his typewriter shop, until about 2008, he probably repaired about 50 manual typewriters. But in 2008, something changed. His phone started ringing off the hook. Parents were calling to say that their daughters wanted a typewriter for Christmas — could they bring in an old one for him to fix up? Or did he have any for sale?JENSEN: So I asked ‘em, I said why are you interested? They said, “She watched this movie called “Kitt Kittredge.”

    1. The tablet wasfound by archaeologists in the foundations of the temple of Inannain Lagash, called the Ibgal. This extensive complex was oval inshape, as were many Early Dynastic temples in other cities, with alarge courtyard and a platform on which Inanna’s temple wasconstructed.

      What is the general history of oval-shaped architecture? Is there an explicit link between the Oval shape of the complex at Ibgal, the temple (or house) of Inanna in Lagash and the oval office at the White House?

      Keep in mind that modern knowledge of large portions of the Ancient Near East only surfaced after the 1800s, so the tradition would have required intermediaries from the ANE into other cultures to be passed down to the building of the White House in 1792.

    1. Intertwined with its concern over ethnicity and religion, the Orange Order presented an ideal of nationalism that differed from the conceptions being presented by other competing forces in Canada. While other Canadian thinkers of the early-twentieth century began to conceive of the Canadian nation as part of a North American tradition, along with the United States, or as a “northern nation” that, through the crucible of Arctic winters, broke with both the United States and Europe, the Orange Order celebrated Canada’s past and highlighted the accomplishments of the British in North America. As the Order saw it, the devotion of the Loyalists and the rise of an Anglophone hegemony in North America were foundational to Canada’s existence, and both owed their authority to British identity. Indeed, as Scott See points out with regard to the Orange Order’s Loyalism of the nineteenth century, The Orange Order served as a form of connective tissue to link the Old World with the New. It was a complex blend of full-throated dedication to the Empire and unswerving support for Britain’s imperial endeavors, as well as an indigenous pronouncement of colonial identity in North America that applauded the British connection, yet strove to articulate a distinct identity of Britishness. (See Citation2014, 182)

      SPECIFIC BRITISH IDENTITY -> EMPHASIZES THIS AS OPPOSED TO NORTH AMERICAN IDENTITY CURRENTS LIKE AMERICANISM

      Flag is connection between Canadians and the British Empire. Again, empty identity though. " “the Flag of our Empire, upon which the sun never sets is the outward and visible emblem of our loyalty to the great British Commonwealth, of which Canada is an integral part” (“Forms” Citation1937). This strain of thought resembled the ideas of imperialists like Stephen Leacock, who before World War I had advocated for greater Canadian participation in British imperial ventures as a means of sharing in the military victories won overseas and the spread of Anglo-Saxon civilization."

      This was a period of time where England was known as the empire on which the sun never sets. Military might and the Industrial Revolution turned England into a juggernaut of powerhouses in the world theater. Little did the world knew that it was the labor of poor children that made the English Industrial Evolution possible as able bodied men were busy fighting. Orphaned children from cities and parishes were contracted from city officials to factory owners to work until they reach 21 or 24 years old. There were no one who fought for their welfare or rights. The children worked 12 to 16 hours a day with little substantial food, hence "their pale and sunken faces". The children were essentially slaves.

    1. The dissimilarities between the girls' fanfics and English language arts practice essays might have offered an interesting entry point for discussion about how different communicative contexts can narrow the range of Available Designs to draw on.

      Creative writing can be incredibly important for self-expression and emotional intelligence. Without properly exploring different ways to write creatively, students may struggle to properly express such things.

    2. Among the numerous points that resonated for us in the framework was the authors' contention that schools and other dominant institutions have historically privileged language, particularly written literacy, over all other modes of communication, thereby neglecting the possibilities of those other modes.

      Literary studies are predominantly focused in non-fiction works or other subjects based heavily in reality. To break away from this promotes creativity and can help those with more imaginative minds to flourish in a setting where they may otherwise struggle.

    3. We hope that insights about out-of-school literacy practices that deeply absorb adolescents may help us devise new ways to make school literacy more meaningful and engaging.

      More studies into modern adolescent literacy practices can lead to higher engagement and appreciation within literary contexts and motivate students to properly and effectively apply the knowledge they gain inside and outside of academic spaces.

    4. Rhiannon herself showed ambivalence about bringing her personal writing into school when we asked if she had ever shown her stories to one of her teachers: "[No, and] I don't think I'd want her to read them anyway," she replied, "because they're in a fashion that she probably wouldn't understand even if I tried to explain it to her. I just think that she isn't open-minded."
    1. What is surprising, however, is the scarcity of research that examines the potential of new tools for showing and telling in the school curriculum.

      See Adolescents' Anime Inspired "Fanfiction" for more in depth explanation. Much of the current school curriculum does not include more creative, personal subject matter, which has the possibility to make students feel less interested in class.

    2. audience appeal (e.g., having a space in which to affiliate with others who share interests or goals) and time for in-depth discussions around a finished text (perhaps one that was collaboratively authored) are the main factors in young people's decisions to create content destined for informal sharing after school.

      A shared personal interest and connection increases engagement, regardless of what sort of environment the conversation takes place in. It just so happens that online spaces are the easiest environments to express such interest and make such connections.

    3. Because many young people growing up in a digital world will find their own reasons for becoming literate--reasons that go beyond reading and writing to acquire academic knowledge-it is important to remain open to changes in subject matter learning that will invite and extend the literacy practices they already possess and value.
    1. The first microcomputers in schools were in the classrooms of visionary teachers who used them (often with LOGO) in very personal ways to cut across deeply rooted features of School (what Tyack and Cuban neatly call "the grammar of school") such as a bureaucratically imposed linear curriculum, separation of subjects, and depersonalization of work. School responded to this foreign body by an "immune reaction" that blocked these subversive features: The control of computers was shifted from the classrooms of subversive teachers into "computer labs" isolated from the mainstream of learning, a computer curriculum was developed... in short, before the computer could change School, School changed the computer.

      This is exactly what is happening with any new technology that is introduced. The subversive nature is tamed by restricting the access.

    1. From what I understood of the theory is about how people see themselves on who they want to be, and how they feel about that difference such as self image and to find out who they wanna be and even with their self esteem

    2. ChatGPT makes writing easier and more of a cleaner look, especially for people who aren’t native English speakers. But it also makes people worry and start thinking to themselves like “Is this really my work?” or “Am I cheating?” It can be helpful, but also very stressful to one.

    3. All the egoic stuff that we do that causes all the problems in the world because you don't know who you are

      for - key insight / quote - the reified ego is the root cause of all the problems in the world - we reify because we don't know who we REALLY are - Donald Hoffman - All the egoic stuff that we do causes all the problems in the world because - you don't know who you are. - You're creating this whole thing. - You're not a little player. - You're the inventor of this whole thing. - You have nothing to prove and - you don't need to be better than anybody else. - They're also master creators. - They're creating entire universes that they perceive as well. - And my own take on on this is that - you and I are really the same one reality - just looking at itself through two different headsets, - two different avatars and having a conversation. - And maybe that's what is required for this one infinite intelligence to sort of know itself.

      • adjacency - poverty mentality - ego - problems of the world - samsara - nirvana - hologram model - Alan Watts - God playing hide and seek - Donald Hoffman
      • When we don't believe we can be this, we limit ourselves
        • That is, we suffer from self-inflicted poverty mentality
      • When he says we are the one same reality,
        • he is echoing the common spiritual teaching of the holographic metaphor where
          • the one nameless is distilling itself in so many separate identities to know itself,
        • Similiar to many spiritual teacher's teachings
          • Alan Watts referred to it as God playing Hide and Seek with itself
    4. I'm now rendering a cup. that the cup that I rendered is no longer there. You might render your cup. You might say, "Well, no, Don, you're wrong. The cup is still there. I can see it." No, you're rendering your cup. And so you you're you're not rendering my cup. I rendered my cup

      for - adjacency - perspectival knowing - rendering - learned in child development - language usage - This is an interesting use of the word "render" to demonstrate how even shared human experiences are still uniquely seen from different perspectives - We impute objective reality, for instance of the cup, even though we are each uniquely rendering it in different ways - It is a direct result of our child development in which we learned how to employ words to label such social contexts - We establish rules for word usage at an early age, but we forget the original conditions which gave rise to them - When we remind ourselves of the original motivation, it is a bit of a shock to the system how strange this reality is

    5. There is another way that you can appreciate that

      for - adjacency - spirituality - science - silence of thoughts in meditation - descriptions of reality - map and territory - Donald Hoffman - nice adjacency - if our thoughts are dependent on and built upon inputs from our senses - and our senses only provide us with a map, and not the territory, - then thinking will only ever keep us in the map world

      • Almost all of us think of ourselves as
        • an object in spacetime only here for a short amount of time and will soon die.
      • When I say you transcend any scientific theory,
        • that means the theory that I am just a 160lb object in spacetime is just a theory and it's not the truth.
      • That's not the truth about who I am.
      • That's just a theory that I have because spacetime itself is just a theory.
      • Nothing inside spacetime is anything but my headset interpretation of a reality that infinitely transcends anything I can experience.
    1. This paper’s authors argue that using GWP to assess the relative planetary warming  caused by various different sectors is therefore a deeply flawed metric. They propose that a better measure for policymakers to adopt would be something  called Effective Radiative Forcing, or ERF.

    1. Historically, he writes, colleges and universities aimed to imprint capital-C Culture—especially a familiarity with a nation’s great texts and intellectual traditions—on young people. Today, however, students more often are seen and see themselves as consumers who are buying diplomas in order to signal their employability. In this model, the values that animate higher education are job preparation, skill building, and networking, not intellectual engagement or humanistic fulfillment. The University in Ruins
    1. This is important because it allows one to communicate with the Antinet, transforming it into a communication experience with a second mind, a doppelgänger, or a ghost in a box, as Luhmann called it. (5)5 This is the entity Luhmann referred to when he titled his paper, Communicating with Noteboxes.

      El comentario a una anotación continente habla de Monos de Markov, en el sentido de atribuirle personalidad y vida a algo inanimado, al hablar con él (tanto como se habla con un Tarot u otro juego interpretativo/narrativo). Estos serían los límites del "ghost in a box", que valdría la pena reconocer a pesar de lo útil de la interpretación animista para el archivo.

    1. we believe that photosynthesis cannot be claimed to be anthropogenic, other than plantings, as it occurs despite human intervention.

      for - in other words - net accounting vs gross accounting - slash and burn forestry practice is a human activity - net accounting has been justified on the logic that - deforestation is a human activity that removes carbon sinks - regrowth that occurs after deforestation contributes a new future carbon sink - The problem with net accounting in this case is that it counts regrowth as a new carbon sink that is attributed to humans - when in reality, it is simply a natural process - A forestry company could slash and burn and then claim carbon credits for the natural regrowth, even though they did something that contributed to emissions, not mitigate emissions

Theory of Ontological Consciousness Project Description This interdisciplinary essay explores a forgotten hypothesis at the intersection of physics, philosophy, and fiction: that consciousness is not a byproduct of matter, but its ontological foundation. Tracing this idea from Heraclitus and Plato to Schrödinger and Penrose, the article integrates metaphysical traditions with quantum models and critiques of materialist reductionism. It introduces the Theory of Ontological Consciousness (TOC) — a literary-philosophical framework proposing ψ̂–Φ interactions as the generative basis of spacetime and form. The essay also reinterprets empirical anomalies, such as those documented by the Global Consciousness Project, as potential signatures of an underlying field of universal consciousness.  For more on the Theory of Ontological Consciousness, visit www.toc-reality.org and follow new updates via Medium    -   https://medium.com/@philiprey.org

    2. what unification uh allowed us to do with a uh a good theory of electromagnetism is to say that first of all all of these are actually uh examples of the same underlying phenomenon. So we were able to put them on one continuum
