The large and important and very much discussed question is:How can the events in space and time which take place withinthe spatial boundary of a living organism be accounted for byphysics and chemistry?
the question on which he'll be focusing the book
Come back when we're done to see how well he may have answered it.

The reason for this wasnot that the subject was simple enough to be explainedwithout mathematics, but rather that it was much tooinvolved to be fully accessible to mathematics.
It wouldn't be until almost a decade later that Delbruck, Golomb, et al. would be using math on the topic.

the lectures could not be termed popular, eventhough the physicist's most dreaded weapon, mathematicaldeduction, would hardly be utilized.

Confessions of an Office Supply Junky - Episode 5: The Hipster PDA - YouTube<br /> by [[Joe Van Cleave]] video circa 2016<br /> accessed on 2025-09-15T12:38:20
Joe Van Cleave had a pencil box with index cards and a pen with which he used to keep a "Random Access Journaling System, using index cards and topical filing by subject" (dated March 2004). He was using 4 x 6" index cards.
He had a 3 x 5" hipster PDA based on Merlin Mann's idea that had thin metal covers with index cards and a book ring to hold it all together. He used colored cards to create section dividers in his hipster PDA.
He mentions the overlap of the hipster PDA with David Allen's Getting Things Done (GTD) movement.
JVC started using a hipster PDA in February 2007
He archived them in chronological order.
Grass roots use of the hipster PDA nudged larger stationers like Oxford to make vertical lined index cards specifically for hipster PDAs.
JVC also shows a storyboard done on index cards with two book rings as binding.
Renaissance Art has a 3x5" index card holder made out of leather as a wallet.
JVC was also using a bulldog clip to hold together his index cards.

Utah’s Governor Almost Seemed Like He Was Speaking to Trump - The Atlantic<br /> by [[David A. Graham]]<br /> accessed on 2025-09-13T13:53:45
-
(Notwithstanding accusations of stoking violence, prominent Democrats have consistently condemned Kirk’s assassination. That’s a vivid contrast to the mockery from many on the right—including Donald Trump Jr.—after a man attacked the husband of former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, and the muted reactions, disinformation, and silence that followed the assassination of the Democratic Minnesota legislator Melissa Hortman and her husband, this summer.)
Hypocrisy of the American radical right with respect to violence.
Compare with prior paragraphs at https://hypothes.is/a/ScM0RJDjEfC_cd_LJT1nRw

But if Cox and Trump represent two rival impulses within the Republican coalition, Trump is undoubtedly winning. “Democrats own what happened today,” Representative Nancy Mace of South Carolina said on Wednesday. “Y’all caused this,” Representative Anna Paulina Luna of Florida told Democrats on the House floor. “It’s time for the Trump administration to shut down, defund, & prosecute every single Leftist organization,” the influential Trump adviser Laura Loomer posted on X. “We must shut these lunatic leftists down. Once and for all. The Left is a national security threat.”Other influential figures on the right have been equally or more strident. “The Left is the party of murder,” Elon Musk declared on X before a suspect had even been identified. Andrew Tate, the misogynist who has been charged with sex trafficking in two countries (which he denies); Alex Jones, the conspiracy-theorist broadcaster; and Libs of TikTok influencer Chaya Raichik all invoked “civil war.”

It took years to acquire a Model O at a price I could afford. It's my dream machine. The other 8 or 9 machines are now being donated to Goodwill, where most came from. I only need one machine and this is it.
quote of u/RickBuxton at https://www.reddit.com/r/typewriters/comments/1nfg9tt/im_new_but_obssessed/
Example of someone who likely should have gone to a typewriter shop and bought a well-adjusted and clean typewriter from the start and it would have saved them time, effort, and money.
8 machines * $30 per machine = $240 plus time, energy, travel, shipping, etc.

Why Who Did What When<br /> by [[Solomon Golomb]] in American Scientist<br /> accessed on 2025-09-11T10:22:57
-
My own assessment is that the book, which reads like a thoroughly researched legal brief (more than 100 pages are devoted to notes, references and a very detailed index), makes the best possible case for the highly dubious proposition that the ideas of information theory influenced the substance, rather than merely the rhetoric, of research in molecular biology in the 1950s and 1960s.
Information theorist Solomon Golomb, who directly participated in the applications of information theory to early genetics, doesn't feel that it influenced the substance of molecular biology in the 1950s and 1960s though it may have influenced the rhetoric.

Writing Bad Day at Black Rock: A Talk with Millard Kaufman<br /> by [[Tod Lippy]]<br /> accessed on 2025-09-07T17:40:08

When you were under contract at MGM, were you writing longhand and then giving it to a transcriber? Yeah. My secretary. It’s almost as though I swore once I got out of the newspaper business that I’d never look at another goddam typewriter. I like writing with a pen. As a matter of fact, I think the less distance there is between you and a piece of blank paper, the better it works out.

then Abundance ceases to mean anything at all. The term is already washed.
-
A slide illustrating the six different types of abundance. …What are we even doing here, y’all? (h/t Dave Weigel)
Types of abundance via @ruthgracewong: - red plenty - cascadian - liberal - moderate-abundance synthesis - abundance dynamism - dark abundance
-
The term is rapidly becoming an empty signifier, though. Tesla’s new master plan boasts of “sustainable abundance.” The Silicon Valley variant of the abundance agenda is just warmed-over techno-optimism — less “let’s rebuild the administrative state and make government work again!” and more “the government should hand big sacks of money to tech startups and exempt them from taxes and regulations. Let our genius builders build!”
-
Government ought to be both proactive and responsive. And often the best way to make a better future possible is to devote public money towards promoting public goods.

did she also recall the opening line of the novel Snoopy never did get to finish? “It was a dark and stormy night ….” Time didn’t allow me to explain that this was not actually a Snoopy original. The celebrated incipit was dognapped by Snoopy’s creator, Charles M. Schulz, from Edward George Earle Lytton Bulwer-Lytton, a mid-19th century English novelist, poet, playwright and politician who also coined phrases such as “the great unwashed”, “pursuit of the almighty dollar” and “the pen is mightier than the sword”.

It was a dark and stormy night; the rain fell in torrents – except at occasional intervals, when it was checked by a violent gust of wind which swept up the streets (for it is in London that our scene lies), rattling along the housetops, and fiercely agitating the scanty flame of the lamps that struggled against the darkness.
The incipit line of Edward Bulwer-Lytton's 1830 novel Paul Clifford.

New ribbons should look wet and get your fingers a bit inky when you touch them, but shouldn't be dripping ink. I've certainly bought new ribbon that was on the dry side and needed to return it. https://site.xavier.edu/polt/typewriters/tw-faq.html#q1
Beyond this, your machine may need a ring and cylinder adjustment. Check YouTube for this. Most platens now are typically rock hard and have shrunken a bit, so recovering the platen is always helpful. You can use a backing sheet or two as a stopgap if necessary, but a new platen and proper adjustment will make a world of difference.

Collectability in typewriters is different for almost everyone. I like mid-century standards, some only like pre-1900 machines, some red typewriters, some toy typewriters, some less common typefaces, and still others prefer plastic 70s portables. Some treat them like Pokémon and "gotta catch them all".
Typewriters as a whole are all "collectibles"... What is your specific definition and criteria (value, rarity, popularity, etc.)?
In aggregate, knowledgeable pricing may help you determine the most collectible ranking them by most expensive. But by this ranking there aren't many of us who can buy even a single Sholes and Glidden or collect the typewriters of famous authors like Steve Soboroff.
ETC Magazine did a rarity versus desirability survey a while back of some serious collectors: https://www.antikeychop.com/mostwantedtypewriters
Interestingly, on this list you won't find many of the most collected typewriters out there as ranked by general "popularity" including machines like the Hermes 3000 or the Olympia SM3.
The Typewriter Database also has some data (albeit skewed) of the most "popular" machines ranked based on how many examples have been uploaded by collectors: https://typewriterdatabase.com/popular.0.typewriter-models
All these rankings are highly subjective though, so, again, you should figure out what's most interesting to you and create your collection from there. Figuring this out is half the fun of doing this as a hobby.

Both Baco Ribbon and Fine Line offer black/red bichrome ribbon in most of these materials for an incredibly reasonable price:
- nylon ribbon $0.10 - $0.15/yard
- silk ribbon $0.33 to $0.40/yard
- cotton ribbon $0.25/yard
If you're going to buy even 3-6 spools of ribbon at individual prices of $9-20 per spool, you may as well make the investment in a half or full reel of inked typewriter ribbon and save yourself a lot of hassle. This will bring your spool of ribbon price down into the $2-4 range.
Ribbons Unlimited is great, but their prices on most ribbon is comparatively really high because part of what they're selling you is the information about which spools will fit your machine. This is fine if you get a typewriter without spools at all, but if you've got original spools, you can get really great ribbon for a fraction of the price and spool it onto your extant spools.

Leibniz created a haystack of notes that wouldn't fit in his Zettelschrank<br /> by [[writingslowly.com]]<br /> accessed on 2025-08-30T19:27:07
-
Krajewski’s recent chapter “Intellectual Furniture: Elements of a Deep History of Artificial Intelligence.” sets Leibniz’s endeavours in the context of an intellectual history that stretches from the specialised furniture Leibniz acquired to arrange his notes, via the dawn of the computer age, all the way to the recent rise of artificial intelligence.
I love the idea of "intellectual furniture" though I've seen it in negative contexts before. Compare also with "books as wallpaper".

Malthus and Wells—and now Joy—are, indeed, critical parts ofthese complex loops. Each knew when and how to sound the alarm.But each thought little about how to respond to that alarm.
-
The challenge forfuturology (and for all of us) is to see beyond the hype and past the over-simplifications to the full import of these new sociotechnical formations.
-
While many powerful national corporations have grown insignifi-cant, some have transformed into more powerful transnational firms.While some forms of community may be dying, others, bolstered bytechnology, are growing stronger.
What do the shapes and sizes in these networks tell us about potential outcomes?
How are these changes created? How are the outcomes and shapes different?
Can we put a mathematical "measure" on them? What do the (topological) "neighborhoods" look like before and after?
-
One of the lessons of Joy’s article, then, is that the path to the futurecan look simple (and sometimes downright terrifying) if you look at itthrough what we call “6-D lenses.” We coined this phrase having sooften in our research hit up against upon such “de-” or “di-” words asdemassification, decentralization, disintermediation, despacialization,disaggregation and demarketization in the canon of futurology.If you take any one of these words in isolation, it’s easy to followtheir relentless logic to its evident conclusion.
-
Why does the threat of a cunning, replicating robot society look soclose from one perspective, yet so distant from another? The differencelies in the well-known tendency of futurologists to count “1, 2, 3 . . . amillion.” That is, once the first step on a path is taken, it’s very easy toassume that all subsequent steps are trivial.
1, 2, 3, ... profit also follows this general pattern and some companies like Uber, Lyft, Postmates, etc. have found this difficult to do.
Tesla is another example which seems to fit the profile of this piece with respect to Elon Musk having pissed off the very people he was attempting to sell to.
-
Having ignored social concerns, however, proponents havemade the people they need to educate profoundly suspicious and hostile.
-
But, on the otherhand, social systems—in the form of governments, the courts, formaland informal organizations, social movements, professional networks,local communities, market institutions and so forth—shape, moderateand redirect the raw power of technologies.
I find myself reading this from the perspective not so much of technology, but of these social systems which seem to be being stressed right now. Is it the technologists (Elon Musk, Peter Thiel, etc.) who realize that these systems were part of the technology "problem" in the past and now they've figured out a way to attempt to "capture" people to organize their original ends?
-
In Joy’s vision, as in the nuclear one, there’s a recognizable tunnelvision that leaves people out of the picture and focuses on technologyin splendid isolation.
-
Similar social forces are at work on technologies today. But becausethe digerati, like technoenthusiasts before them, look to the future withtechnological tunnel vision, they too have trouble bringing other forcesinto view.
great reminder in both technology and politics
-
Like the nuclearprognosticators, Joy can see the juggernaut clearly. What he can’t see—which is precisely what makes his vision so scary—are any controls.
This observation is important in so many areas of life and research. It's not what you see in aggregate or on the surface, but the details below the surface which help to determine the second, third, and later-order effects.
-
Sowhen his article describes a technological juggernaut thundering towardsociety—bringing with it mutant genes, molecular-level nanotechnologymachines and superintelligent robots—all need to listen.
These things can only kill us if we don't manage to kill ourselves first...

Avoiding Internal Typewriter Distractions - YouTube<br /> by [[Joe Van Cleave]] <br /> accessed on 2025-08-28T11:08:56
Typewriter distractions<br /> - troublesome mechanical issues<br /> - need for finger strength - poor imprint
Well-tuned standard typewriters are excellent for minimizing distractions, especially internal ones.
Joe Van Cleave thinks the 5TE Smith-Corona electric typewriters are the best of their class.
-
Royal standards have the shift lock further away from the letter "a" which can prevent the accidental shifting of the letter "a" while typing. This distraction can be annoying when writing at speed.
-
Large horizontally oriented typewriter mats can be useful in that they create a buffer zone that covers the carriage movement and helps to prevent one from accidentally putting their beverages in the way of the carriage.

It's an Olivetti Valentine. An iconic piece of design with mechanicals almost identical to the Lettera 32. Its designer, Ettore Sotsass, was apparently not fond of it ("I worked as an architect for sixty years of my life and all people know is this fucking plastic machine" - or something to that effect) and its first production run was not particularly popular.

Themed logs are still more useful than daily notes<br /> by [[Eleanor Konik]]<br /> accessed on 2025-08-18T09:19:49
On ordering notes in particular ways. Presumably search and indexing are the important factors here, but potentially also has something to say about context and the immediacy of neighborhoods.
Personal preference may be the biggest determination.
She focuses on where she'll search for things rather than indexing them where they start and then searching and concatenating them later (or digitally).
She uses the "everything has it's place" idea to commonplace more traditionally (or at least in an Obsidian digital context).
She also tangentially touches on the idea of where to place the work when taking notes. Toss it into a pile or deal with it now and the work it may take to clean up later.
Some interesting and potentially useful idiosyncratic evidence here, but nothing new or earth shattering.

The moment came in May, when CNBC’s Megan Cassella asked Trump about “TACO,” an acronym for “Trump always chickens out.” The phrase had gained popularity in the financial sector as a derisive shorthand for the president’s penchant for backing down from his tariff threats. During an otherwise routine Oval Office event, Trump sputtered angrily at Cassella, claiming that his shifting tariff timelines were “part of negotiations” and admonishing, “Don’t ever say what you said.”

Polari flourished in the difficult years between the trial of Oscar Wilde and the 1967 Sexual Offences Act. It was a kind of code, which enabled one gay man to identify another, allowed them to express themselves publicly without fear of arrest or reprisal and provided a vocabulary for talking about gay sex and sexuality.
-
Glossary: troll back, to return; nish, no more; aunt nells, ears; naff, straight, tasteless; ogle, eye; dolly, nice, pleasant; eek , face - a contraction of the backslang ecaf; cod , bad, fake; zhoosh, to titivate; drag, clothing, a special outfit; dish, attractive, to gossip or bum; trade, sexual partner; colin, horn, erection; fantabulosa, fantabulosa.
-
The radio comedy sketch show, Round the Horne, introduced two regular characters, Julian and Sandy, who spoke a version of polari.
-
Many polari words are recognisable: aqua, manjaree, vada, bona, omi, even polari itself. You can probably guess at their meanings: water, food or to eat, look or see, good, man, and talk.

It depends in my opinion. Many variables with this company and what you seek as well as preferences. Do you want a three bank typewriter? I would go with an Erika 2 for a three bank typewriter. Do you want a more modern typewriter? Perhaps an Erika 10 is a good choice. Do you want a certain font? Maybe Fraktur? (Good luck finding one for cheap however) Erika 5 would be a good choice for fonts maybe. Do you want a rare and collectable model? Go with an Erika 20. They have basket shift too. I would personally avoid the newer models, such as the Erika 50. They aren't great in my preference, but you decide! There are many different models for different people, but the main company that produced Erikas, which is Seidel & Naumann, also created the "Ideal" brand of typewriters. S&N is responsible for a lot of typewriters.

Over time, dust and oil can clog up in the bearing and along the track that the segment glides up and down on causing this sort of issue. You can flush it out with mineral spirits (or something similar) while you actuate the shift key to remedy the issue. When you're done, then add back a drop of light (sewing) machine oil.
While you're at it, most basket shift machines load them with large springs to assist with the weight and to help the return. They're typically attached to metal brackets that can be easily formed with pliers to either increase or decrease the force as necessary to suit your touch and preferred response. (YouTube videos may help here if necessary.)
If that doesn't remedy it, then take the hood off and look closely at the mechanism to see if something is physically impeding it.
