Also meaning that without anaesthesia, humans clear metabolites through sleep. Which would you opt for?

Big if true. If this is indeed an outright lie, then it's about time we all woke up.

Very plausible. The Cult of Sleep, by default, accuses lack-of-sleep as the culprit of an ever-widening salad bar of life's ailments. Nothing requires less thought than blaming sleep, the unconscious, elusive abstract, for predicaments.

Lack of productivity warrants more nuanced and bespoke investigation, though not excluding sleep!

But this is a poor analogy. Is your lost productivity later reimbursed? If so, how might you explain the underlying catchup mechanism for cognitive performance?

If it cannot be explained as simply as the relationship between exercise and strength i.e. muscle tear => muscle repair => muscle consolidation, the analogy has overreached.

Can confirm. Now this is true science.

Such sentences erode credibility; this kind of crude sabre-rattling is regrettably employed props up ideas have not the legs to stand alone.

Fascinating. Perhaps an answer to [[patrick collison]]'s question on why some people need less sleep than others: https://twitter.com/patrickc/status/945846866444349440

Fair enough. "Natural" arguments typically represents a morals more than it does reason.

Getting by on a solo sailing race requires a far narrower, albeit more refined, set of performant skills than getting by generally. For one, social skills are redundant.

The minimum amount of sleep to achieve the fastest time in a race accommodates many painful tradeoffs that non-seafaring-speed-maximising humans would consider as not getting by.

That's like saying thirst, rather than the absence of water, is responsible for the decrease cognitive performance during dehydration.

Yes, you could have slept 20 hours and still feel sleepy. Or not slept for 40 hours and not feel sleepy. Or have sleepiness/wakefulness artificially induced. But these are frivolous scenarios for discerning the relative impact of sleepiness and absence of sleep on cognitive performance.

Perhaps so. Effort of all colours may produce short-term stress while producing obvious long-term benefits. After all, stress serves to keep us from harm.

But even the modern human is, in all his comfort, susceptible to genuine harm. To repurpose the fundamental, time-tested purpose stress has served is to risk forgoing better explanations for the same phenomena you're ascribing to stress.

Yet ignored are side effects that escaped observation. Sleep-related memory loss may have contributed to this emphatic conclusion.

Fair point.

Put Big Macs in front of me and I'll eat more Big Macs. Put a Playstation in front of me and I'll play more video games. Put a bed in front of me I'll sleep more. Not much more, but more than if it were not there.

If natural means 'as humans were in the Stone Age', then obviously not.

If natural means 'as a human would behave in a given environment', then probably.

A roof over your head, comfortable bed, mattress, duvets, pillows, and atmospheric regulation are not cheap - but it does seem human-like to value them as we do.

Even when taught that some methods of learning don't work, students will still actively use and focus on them.

Are those using social annotation purposely helping students to steer clear of these methods? is there evidence that the social part of some of these related annotation or conversational practices with both the text and one's colleagues helpful? Do they need to be taken out of the text and done in a more explicit manner in a lecture/discussion section or in a book club like setting similar to that of Dan Allossso's or even within a shared space like the Obsidian book club to have more value?

annotation meta: may need new tag: company [aspiring] to be bigger / take over the world

this

Written in 2004, this is on the cusp of the growth of blogging and obviously predates the general time frame of social media and the rise of social annotation. Personal notes can now be shared more widely and have much larger publics.

So very few modern sources describe annotation or note taking in these terms.

I find often in my annotations, the most recent one just above is such a one, where I start with a tiny kernel of an idea and then my brain begins warming up and I put down some additional thoughts. These can sometimes build and turn into multiple sentences or paragraphs, other times they sit and need further work. But either way, with some work they may turn into something altogether different than what the original author intended or discussed.

These are the things I want to keep, expand upon, and integrate into larger works or juxtapose with other broader ideas and themes in the things I am writing about.

Sadly, we're just not teaching students or writers these tidbits or habits anymore.

Sönke Ahrens mentions this idea in his book about Smart Notes. When one is asked to write an essay or a paper it is immensely difficult to have a perch on which to begin. But if one has been taking notes about their reading which is of direct interest to them and which can be highly personal, then it is incredibly easy to have a starting block against which to push to begin what can be either a short sprint or a terrific marathon.

This pattern can be seen by many bloggers who surf a bit of the web, read what others have written, and use those ideas and spaces as a place to write or create their own comments.

Certainly this can involve some work, but it's always nicer when the muses visit and the words begin to flow.

I've now written so much here in this annotation that this note here, is another example of this phenomenon.

With some hope, by moving this annotation into my commonplace book (or if you prefer the words notebook, blog, zettelkasten, digital garden, wiki, etc.) I will have it to reflect and expand upon later, but it'll also be a significant piece of text which I might move into a longer essay and edit a bit to make a piece of my own.

With luck, I may be able to remedy some of the modern note taking treatises and restore some of what we've lost from older traditions to reframe them in an more logical light for modern students.

I recall being lucky enough to work around teachers insisting I use note cards and references in my sixth grade classes, but it was never explained to me exactly what this exercise was meant to engender. It was as if they were providing the ingredients for a recipe, but had somehow managed to leave off the narrative about what to do with those ingredients, how things were supposed to be washed, handled, prepared, mixed, chopped, etc. I always felt that I was baking blind with no directions as to temperature or time. Fortunately my memory for reading on shorter time scales was better than my peers and it was only that which saved my dishes from ruin.

I've come to see note taking as beginning expanded conversations with the text on the page and the other texts in my notebooks. Annotations in the the margins slowly build to become something else of my own making.

We might compare this with the more recent movement of social annotation in the digital pedagogy space. This serves a related master, but seems a bit more tangent to it. The goal of social annotation seems to be to help engage students in their texts as a group. Reading for many of these students may be more foreign than it is to me and many other academics who make trade with it. Thus social annotation helps turn that reading into a conversation between peers and their text. By engaging with the text and each other, they get something more out of it than they might have if left to their own devices. The piece I feel is missing here is the modeling of the next several steps to the broader commonplacing tradition. Once a student has begun the path of allowing their ideas to have sex with the ideas they find on the page or with their colleagues, what do they do next? Are they being taught to revisit their notes and ideas? Sift them? Expand upon them. Place them in a storehouse of their best materials where they can later be used to write those longer essays, chapters, or books which may benefit them later?

How might we build these next pieces into these curricula of social annotation to continue building on these ideas and principles?

This is another good possibility to hide most of the machinery of connecting hypothesis to obsidian. I like that it takes advantage of relatively robust existing bits of obsidian.

CLI-based method for batch exporting hypothesis annotations in markdown suitable for adding to Obsidian. I'm not sure I like it; the idea of batch-filing the process irks me. I would prefer for it to all happen in the background.

This has possibilities because it backgrounds a lot of the heavy lifting by saving the annotation to a local markdown file.

Indeed, I'd heard of hosts.allowed but would have never known that they were part of a package/system called tcpwrappers (which I don't think I've ever heard of).

I love this outline/syllabus for creating a commonplace book (as a potential replacement for a term paper).

I'd be curious to see those who are using Hypothes.is as a communal reading tool in coursework utilize this outline (or similar ones) in combination with their annotation practices.

Curating one's annotations and placing them into a commonplace book or zettelkasten would be a fantastic rhetorical exercise to extend the value of one's notes and ideas.

Similar to modern-day tagging systems.

However, this depends on Google "keeping" your notes for the long-haul. Given their propensity to discontinue projects, that seems hazardous. At least Hypothesis provides a mechanism that's more open: i'm not sure whether it can be considered stable and secure for the long-term.

Step 5 annotation!

"what's it called?"

Probably a false distinction, because "packages" is used in a way that it implies a distinction from "gems", when in actuality

1. gems are packages, too (Ruby packages)
2. it's referring specifically to JavaScript/node/npm packages,

... so there is only truly a distinctio if you are specific enough to say JavaScript packages.

Good question. Too bad it went unanswered.

What is this?

To me, this is very interesting, along with protection against bots/AI/regimes/etc. that could try to steer opinion.

I like this rule of thumb for annotation.

'Autosuggest' is actually critical in some ways. For myself, autosuggest is a must-have, simply because I can't remember a term that's used differently by many other people: using one term simplifies things enormously in creating coherence and, perhaps most importantantly, findability.

Later in this talk, there's talk about commitment to interoperability, fast APIs (to make autocomplete happen across platforms), and other interesting tidbits.

True; most note-taking data is quite restricted to the app its contained in. Would be lovely with a diaspora: different apps or 'features' that would interconnect and allow users to simply drag-and-drop what they want in one single application. This is dreaming, of course, which requires standards and an infrastructure that doesn't rhyme well with money.
