Re: Links to studies
Hello, thank you for your answer! Can I just link to the page I got the information from? Because I find it unrealistic to link to every statement unless it is word for word the same (quotes). I haven't seen this anywhere, people have always only linked to the page where the claim is found or the information in general… -
Re: Links to studies
Echoing Sascha's advice: cite everything that does not originate in your head. It pays off quickly. Example: 12 sources that "inspired" a note of your cannot be used productively. You cannot just take one very important sentence, or select a part of the claims in the note . Where are the ones you selected from? An… -
Re: How do you determine what the "parent" of a Zettel is?
@ctietze Maybe I'm underappreciating the parent--child meaning? I'm taking it to mean that the 'parent' note is the source of another note's creation. This isn't related to Folgezettel (but I also don't think the OP was referring to this either?) Practically speaking, it's the same idea that I got from the 'References'… -
Re: LaTeX Zettelkasten Project for Mathematicians (and other LaTeX users)
Also note that Pandoc Markdown supports implicit reference links in the following form: Here's a reference to [Example Theorem][] and to [Other Theorem][] in another document.[Example Theorem]: #theorem:example-theorem[Other Theorem]: another_document#theorem:other-theorem This may be the most readable form for the kind of… -
Re: GPT4 Zettel Critique Assistant (Robo Zettel Feedback)
@ZettelDistraction, I hope I speak for others on the forum, you are doing a stellar job with this. My saga continues. I now have a sense of why a See Also section is recommended. I sort of have been doing this sometimes, incidentally. My practice is to put links interstitially in the note. The rule I use is 'put the link… -
Re: GPT4 Zettel Critique Assistant (Robo Zettel Feedback)
I just finished capturing the ideas from Bianca Pereira's YouTube video presentation, "Linked Knowledge Does Not Work." A clickbaity title if there ever was one. She does make an uncommon and timely point. I ran them through the Zettel Critique Assistant. Here are the results. This turns out to be a worthwhile exercise.… -
Re: LaTeX Zettelkasten Project for Mathematicians (and other LaTeX users)
Yeah it's good. I've been able to get the example mostly working using a custom pandoc template - by default pandoc doesn't at all optimize for readable LaTeX output. I still have a few issues for which I'm not sure if there are easy fixes. The main problem is that pandoc-amsthm always writes the \newtheorem definitions at… -
Re: How do you handle confusion when reading for a Zettelkasten?
Refactoring to clarify confusion 202110021647 Hang on. The nerdiness is spilling out like a mountain dam bursting. It's about to get thick. I hope you have hip boots handy. Be flexible while having a plan to guide you. Write when your energy is highest. Your writing is the evidence of your thinking. Leave less taxing work… -
Re: Identifying patterns in different types of notes, and how to optimally design outline notes
Tags: I barely use tags at all currently. I agree with @Sascha's previous blog entries on topic-based tags creating weak associations so I generally adopted a "zero tags" policy when it comes to content, using (a very few) tags instead to denote note type or status. (e.g. #refactor gets used a lot because it provides… -
Re: Do you have a systematic way of cleaning up your ZK?
Thanks for asking this. I have a similar issue in that some of my notes are very rough and in some cases what started as index/hub notes became dumping grounds out of expedience. For #1, #3 and #4 I handle those when I encounter the note that needs to be updated. I started using a #refactor tag to denote those notes that…
