    1. With the Commander I close my eyes, even when I am only kissing himgoodnight. I do not want to see him up close. But now, here, each time, I keepmy eyes open.

      Direct juxtaposition between the Commander and Nick

    2. All I can hope for is a reconstruction: The way love feels is alwaysonly approximate

      Shows that words and language cannot fully express -- Most happened detailed and not a reconstruction in other scenes, but her sex with Nick is similar to all other Night scenes, all other scenes with herself.

    3. infinitely sad: faded music, fadedpaper flowers, worn satin, an echo of an echo. All gone away, no longerpossible. Without warning I began to cry.

      She finally understands that the past is something gone and fictionalised, something she had been stuck in but has already disappeared - especially with the child picture, especially now she has Nick rather than fantasizing about Luke

    1. 24:00 Nick points out that he wants to leave people "... more curious and connected" [purpose]. So, he can talk about topics beyond note-making, since they still convey his message.

    2. I am much reminded of people like Max Reisinger here, who show their vulnerability in their content, making it more real and authentic (note: Max did make a video outlining that YT became a persona of sorts, where he had to try to show vulnerability, which wasn't really what he was doing day to day).

      Nick seems to/want to show more vulnerability, talk about more diverse topics (like Jungian psychology), making it, in my opinion, ultimately more mature and authentic content. I was becoming allergic to some creators, probably because they weren't doing this?

    1. Suppose we have an AI whose only goal is to make as many paper clips as possible. The AI will realize quickly that it would be much better if there were no humans because humans might decide to switch it off. Because if humans do so, there would be fewer paper clips. Also, human bodies contain a lot of atoms that could be made into paper clips. The future that the AI would be trying to gear towards would be one in which there were a lot of paper clips but no humans.

    1. Does anyone else work in project-based systems instead? .t3_y2pzuu._2FCtq-QzlfuN-SwVMUZMM3 { --postTitle-VisitedLinkColor: #9b9b9b; --postTitleLink-VisitedLinkColor: #9b9b9b; --postBodyLink-VisitedLinkColor: #989898; }

      reply to u/m_t_rv_s__n https://www.reddit.com/r/Zettelkasten/comments/y2pzuu/does_anyone_else_work_in_projectbased_systems/

      Historically, many had zettelkasten which were commonplace books kept on note cards, usually categorized by subject (read: "folders" or "tags"), so you're not far from that original tradition.

      Similar to your work pattern, you may find the idea of a "Pile of Index Cards" (PoIC) interesting. See https://lifehacker.com/the-pile-of-index-cards-system-efficiently-organizes-ta-1599093089 and https://www.flickr.com/photos/hawkexpress/albums/72157594200490122 (read the descriptions of the photos for more details; there was also a related, but now defunct wiki, which you can find copies of on Archive.org with more detail). This pattern was often seen implemented in the TiddlyWiki space, but can now be implemented in many note taking apps that have to do functionality along with search and tags. Similarly you may find those under Tiago Forte's banner "Building a Second Brain" to be closer to your project-based/productivity framing if you need additional examples or like-minded community. You may find that some of Nick Milo's Linking Your Thinking (LYT) is in this productivity spectrum as well. (Caveat emptor: these last two are selling products/services, but there's a lot of their material freely available online.)

      Luhmann changed the internal structure of his particular zettelkasten that created a new variation on the older traditions. It is this Luhmann-based tradition that many in r/Zettelkasten follow. Since many who used the prior (commonplace-based) tradition were also highly productive, attributing output to a particular practice is wrongly placed. Each user approaches these traditions idiosyncratically to get them to work for themselves, so ignore naysayers and those with purist tendencies, particularly when they're new to these practices or aren't aware of their richer history. As the sub-reddit rules indicate: "There is no [universal or orthodox] 'right' way", but you'll find a way that is right for you.

      Metaphor theory is apparently a "thing" follow up on this to see what the work/research looks like

      I put the following into the chat/Q&A:

      The phrase combinatorial creativity seems to stem from this 2014 article: https://fs.blog/networked-knowledge-and-combinatorial-creativity/, the ideas go back much further obviously, often with different names across cultures. Matt Ridley describes it as "ideas have sex" https://www.ted.com/talks/matt_ridley_when_ideas_have_sex; Raymond Llull - Llullan combinatorial arts; Niklas Luhmann - linked zettels; Marshall Kirkpatrick - "triangle thinking" - Dan Pink - "symphonic thinking" are some others.

      For those who really want to blow their minds on how not new some of these ideas are, try out Margo Neale and Lynne Kelly's book Songlines: The Power and Promise which describes songlines which were indigenous methods for memory (note taking for oral cultures) and created "combinatorial creativity" for peoples in modern day Australia going back 65,000 years.

      Dear god, do we really need another acronym: NoMa?

      Apparently it's just NOteMAking... as distinct from note taking

    1. The real issue with "learning in public" is them emphasis placed on "being an expert," which is *everywhere*. It's a capitalist mindset, convincing people that even as beginners they should consider themselves "experts" bc this is how you get exposure aka how u scale.

      The public online commons, by means of context collapse, allows people to present themselves as experts within an area without actually being experts.

      Some of these "experts" or "gurus" primarily have expertise in communication or promoting themselves or a small piece of a topic about which they know a little more than the average public.

    1. Working on sport skills with specific exercises is not the same thing as working to improve specific force-generation and neuromuscular coordination patterns

      Atentar a essa importante dica: não é sobre replicar como uma habilidade específica da modalidade é realizada com adição de sobrecarga, e sim replicar a geração de força específica e a padronização da coordenação neuromuscular.,

    2. because these exercises do not necessarily reflect the specific force-generation and neuromuscular coordination patterns of many common move-ments in athletics, their positive transfer into improved performance potential is less obvious.

      A transferência indireta, pois ajudam na performance por aumentar a hipertrofia, recrutamento de unidade motora, densidade óssea e força de tecido conjuntivo. Essas mudanças não são ruins por não serem específicas, até porque podem melhorar a saúde e reduzir o risco de lesão.

    3. General exercises are essentially conventional strength-training exercises and may consist of either compound or isolation movements using free weights, cables,

      Comparado aos exercícios específicos criam um ambiente mais adequado para estimular aumentos nos ganhos de massa, força...

    4. The simplest and most straightforward way to implement the principle of specificity is to select exercises similar to the target activity with regard to the joints about which movement occur and the direction of the movements. In addition, joint ranges of motion in the training should be at least as great as those in the target activity

      Qual movimento articular ocorre e a direção dos movimentos são requisitos para tornar um exercício específico.

    5. Although all athletes should use well-rounded, whole-body exercise rou-tines, supplementary exercises specific to the sport can provide a training advantage.

      Por que aumentam a geração de força específica e padrões de coordenação neuromuscular dos movimentos atléticos específicos.

    1. “Meditations on Moloch,”

      Clicked through to the essay. It appears to be mainly an argument for a super-powerful benevolent general artificial intelligence, of the sort proposed by AGI-maximalist Nick Bostrom.

      The money quote:

      The only way to avoid having all human values gradually ground down by optimization-competition is to install a Gardener over the entire universe who optimizes for human values.

      🔗 This is a great New Yorker profile of Bostrom, where I learned about his views.

      🔗Here is a good newsy profile from the Economist's magazine on the Google unit DeepMind and its attempt to create artificial general intelligence.
