The Reductionist Position on AI by Cal Newport
EDIT: This is what Cal Newport wrote: https://calnewport.com/when-it-comes-to-ai-think-inside-the-box/ I send this mail to Cal Newport. I thought that it might be interesting to discuss: Hi Cal, tl;dr: You are positioning yourself for failure by taking a reductionist position on AI. (Doesn’t mean that you are wrong. Just… -
Specificity of "top level" categories
I'm following Bob Doto's advice and using Luhmann's numbering scheme, which in effect imposes a tree structure on top of a more free-form linking structure. My top-level titles are weird: * 1.5: The brain is expensive. * 3.3: Republic of Letters letters were often sent multi-hop * 4.3: Russian fairy tales are constructed… -
Luhmann's random browsing
In @Sascha's nice translation of “Kommunikation mit Zettelkästen” (much thanks!), Luhmann speaks much of randomness in ways that are not clear to me. I've read somewhere that I can no longer find – bad note-taker! bad! – that Luhmann would sometimes browse the Zettelkasten with no fixed purpose, moving about it… -
Re: Specificity of "top level" categories
For that, I'd rather use a Zettel's approach: Using small slips that together would be what is the structure note.

Re: Requesting a proof that the zettelkasten method does not work by using the zettelkasten method.
I'll reply in kind with the original sentiment https://niklas-luhmann-archiv.de/bestand/zettelkasten/zettel/ZK_2_NB_9-8j_V English: -
Re: Specificity of "top level" categories
@zettelsan couldn't you just copy/paste the existing note into the new, more appropriate spot, delete the contents of the note in the old spot and place a link to the new spot? I believe Luhmann created top level categories at some point with his department overview. Seems like that is what is needed. My intuition says… -
Remindered: A New Term for Cognitive Architecture - And Why UIDs Enable Cognitive Breadcrumbing
I scratched out a new musing exploring of a new verb that (I think) I made up. I'm calling I it "remindered"—the architectural act of being triggered back into a cognitive context at exactly the right moment, not just reminded of a task. chrisokeefe.io/remindered We have reminders. We have remembering. But we don't have a… -
Hear my incoherent ramblings about Zettelkasten to fall asleep to #ASMR
https://youtu.be/fQryiKaNmzE?si=H9m3PZNLg_AHTySf&t=5275 Protesilaos Stavrou had me for a 2.5h 'interview' format and at the linked time of 1:27h we started to talk about Zettelkasten: * how you pronounce it * what goes inside * sidebar about Luhmann's theory, a summary made up on a whim * externalizing thought to discover… -
Zothero / Pandoc / Marked2 - different results
Hi everyone, I need your knowledge on citing with Pandoc. Basic conditions: I use The Archive with Zotero and cite with APA7. For searching I use Alfred with Zothero, also with APA7. Specifically, my problem is that citations are displayed differently, although both tools use APA7. If I use Zothero, for example, it looks…
