CTLA4 Alteration and Neurologic Manifestations: A New Family with Large Phenotypic Variability and Literature Review

@tomp your experience of finding the book binding text while searching for something entirely else is often called "serendipity". The way books are shelved in libraries helps to increase the chance that even if you don't find the thing you're looking for, along the way you might find other things of potential interest. Modern digital search often decreases this effect which was more common in the analog spaces of card catalogs and library books on shelves.

This experience is some of the unseen or elusive "magic" that Luhmann was referencing in his card “Geist im Kasten?” ZKII 9/8,3. You have to have the experience of searching for things and either finding or not finding them and running into entirely different ideas along the way to appreciate this sort of serendipity which is facilitated by physical zettelkasten practice. Otherwise it all seems very mundane. It's hard to see or demonstrate serendipity, and so people only see the papers and boxes and leave disappointed.

That Pigeon Looks Just Like Michael Keaton<br /> The Late Show with Stephen Colbert

Definitely a late model Olivetti. Either a Studio 45, which was more common in the United States, or a Studio 46, both of which came in that color.

I'm leaning toward 46 because of some of the shape of the hood as well as the white variable button on the platen which I've only ever seen on the 46 while the 45s were typically black or had the button colored to match the body color.

大多数人认为AI工具的使用是可逆的，停止使用即可回到原状态。但作者认为一旦AI生成的代码存在，即使停止使用AI工具，维护成本也不会消失，这揭示了AI工具使用的不可逆性，是一个反直觉的观点。

If typists were Robots

Resemblance to disaster girl?

Alternate perspective: In this scene the white man has become sad and shows a change in emotion from once being hostile towards the black man. He acts as a different person complicating his character because now he is not just seen as an opressor but as someone who might feel regret for their actions but won't change due to the oppressive system his ancestors established. The emotional shift occurs as they are finishing the house and changes from dominance to regret but the end goal of segregation remains.

Most difficult passage: I feel that the reading was overall easy to understand after, but what made this paragraph difficult to understand was the change in emotion from the white man. Why is there a shift in emotion in the white man? And why does he continue to build the house after he feels sad? Why are there no windows and no doors? The passage does not explicitly state the reason behind his change in perspective, but one can infer that the white man is aware that segregation is wrong but does not have it in him to change.

最佳实践建议：自动化流程可以大幅提高效率，但人类审核和接受服务条款仍然是必要的。

Almost hilarious that a gloved assistant brings it out and then removes it once they're done discussing it. Something so effete-ist about this that would be befitting Buckley himself.

It will happen to you more quickly as you thumb through your notes or search through them for things you know you want. Along the way you'll discover you find things you need, but didn't know you needed. You'll see things you know you wrote or put into the box, but forgot long ago but realize you can use right now. Searching regularly increases the level of the conversation as well as the chances for serendipity.

【启发】这条实操建议揭示了一个普遍被忽视的 Prompt 盲区：大多数人给 AI 下达编程任务时，只描述「做什么」，从不描述「怎么组织」。这相当于只告诉一个新员工「实现这个功能」，却从不告诉他「我们的代码规范是什么」。对所有使用 Vibe Coding 的人来说，这条建议应该成为标准操作流程的一部分——在每次任务 Prompt 中，主动加入结构约束。

「人在环路」是编程 AI 爆发的关键因素，而非阻碍。这个洞见颠覆了常见的「人机协作摩擦论」：恰恰是因为开发者需要审查代码，AI 生成的错误有人把关，企业才愿意大规模部署。这说明 AI 在「可验证 + 人类兜底」的领域最容易突破——其他领域想复制这个成功模式，需要先建立同等的验证机制。

这揭示了 AI 时代最核心的锁定机制：不是传统网络效应，而是「上下文复利」。用户与 AI 的交互历史成为最有价值的资产——积累越多，个性化越好，迁移成本越高。这比 SaaS 的数据锁定更深刻，因为 LLM 能从历史中提取洞察。未来 AI 竞争的本质，是争夺用户「数字记忆」的归属权。

大多数人认为AI评估可以通过简单的自动化测试完成。但作者提出需要复杂的双轴(S-axis和V-axis)人工参考轨迹和沙箱环境支持，这暗示了评估AI代理能力的极端复杂性远超当前行业的普遍认知。这一观点挑战了AI评估的简化主义倾向，强调了人类参与在评估中的不可替代性。

Superficial thrombophlebitis related to a PICC may be associated with occult DVT in about 20% of cases, but occult DVT is much less commonly associated with spontaneous superficial thrombophlebitis of the saphenous vein (about 5% of cases).

Advanced Typing - Shortcuts (1943)

Advanced Typing: Shortcuts. 16 mm. Vol. MN-1512c. United States Navy Training Film, 1943. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JUJfCfqgsX0.

Correct typing posture: fingers curved<br /> arms sloping up<br /> light fast strokes<br /> steady rhythm

fast continuous motion of return lever<br /> using backing sheet (aka temping sheet ??)

Shortcuts:<br /> mise en place for office supplies (she doesn't use this phrasing though) - greater efficiency - cuts down on searching

tabulators can be helpful. There are two types:<br /> - automatic - handset

Use tabs for paragraphs, dating letters, columns of numbers, and letter closings.

To clear all tab stops, put carriage to left, hold tab clear key and move the carriage across. (Usually applies to Royal, Remington, Underwood, and Electromatic).

On LC Smith and Woodstock machines sometimes have a tab clear lever on the back.

Decimal tabulator keys help to align a variety of numbers around a decimal point. 09:43

Always have a few tabs set to prevent a flying carriage which can be hard on the machine.

When using carbon sheets which are slightly longer than the paper size, cut off a small triangle at the top left hand side. This makes it easier for one to separate the carbons from the copies by holding the top left with one hand and pulling the carbons out from the bottom of the stack.

To align multiple sheets of paper for carbon copies, use a folded sheet at the top to taco the pages into the machine. Remove the folded sheet once the carbon pack is rolled forward.

Paper bail rollers should be set to split the pages into thirds (for two rollers).

Remington noiseless machines have a pressure indicator on the front of the machine (usually above the keyboard) which can be used when using thick carbon packs that may cause the ribbon guide to stick or bind.

Only erase when the carriage is fully left or right to prevent eraser crumbs from falling into the machine. 15:26

Use a soft eraser on carbon copies. Use and insert slips of paper behind the carbons and allowing them to stick out the sides, erasing from back sheet to front so as not to allow the eraser to mark your carbon copies. For the front sheet, use a shield and ink eraser and erase with a horizontal motion. After erasing, easily pull out the inserted sheets.

When typing a correction, tap the key lightly two or three times rather than hard once.

When in a rush and it's necessary to add a word (on double spacing), underline the last letter of the prior word and type a slash (/). Then move the typing line up and type the insertion above the prior line. This creates an "arrow" of sorts for the inserted word.

Details for inserting extra letters in misspelled words using half-spacing machines. (Underwoods and Electromatics don't have this function.)

Light pencil marks at the bottom of the sheet can help to indicate the coming bottom of the sheet.

Putting up the card holders (fingers) on Underwoods and Royals. They help to hold the card and improve print quality and reduce noise.

Card holders can cause markings on carbon packs if they're not lowered.

Trick for quickly writing postcards in succession: Disengage the ratchet using the platen spring release (or variable platen switch) Type the address on the front of the card. When done give the platen a quick practiced spin. The postcard with "jump" up and stop at the paper table and be in position for rolling in the opposite direction to write the message on the back of the card! When done a faster spin of the platen will shoot the card over the back of the typewriter where it can land in a box to collect all the postcards which were written in such a manner. <br /> timestamp 23:22

Time saving methods for addressing envelopes:

• Front seat principle. Insert the envelope in the usual way and type out the address. When done, turn the envelope down through the machine with the right hand. With the left hand, place the next envelope between the top of the first envelope and the front of the platen. Feed the first envelope back through the machine (in reverse) and the second will be rolled in to place for typing. Continue in this fashion until finished. All the finished envelopes will stack up in the back at the paper table.

• Chain feeding. The first envelope is inserted and rolled partway into the machine. A second envelope is inserted between the platen and the second envelope (behind the platen). Turn the first envelope to the writing line and type the address. Take out the first envelope and insert the next the same way as before.

• Uses paper bail. Do the first envelope in the usual way. Spin it out of the machine up and behind the paper bail into a box behind the typewriter.

For quickly doing labels or small cards:<br /> Create a small zig-zag fold into a piece of paper to create a pocket slot which can be scotch taped on either side. This template paper can then be inserted so that the pocket is visible above the writing line, but the paper below it is still in the platen. The label or card can be placed into the pocket and the platen reversed to feed the label or card in backwards to the desired typing line. Using a v-groove or hole in the typing line can create a pencil line to serve as a guide for inserting many labels at the same place so that the typing lines up between labels.

Some offices had special platens for holding cards like this.

Pockets like this can also be used to hold the page to add additional lines at the bottom of pages. Deeper pockets may need to be used for doing this with carbon packs whose carbons are longer than the pages.

Alternately one can do something similar by creating a inverted u-shaped set of slits into an index card. to hold such labels.

When in the midst of a page and needing to do another piece urgently, roll back the letter until about 2 inches from the top, and then place in the new page and one between each of the carbons. Then roll forward to do the short message as necessary. Turn back to the insertion position to remove the copies and then continue with the first letter where you left off.

For drawing horizontal lines on typewriter paper, push the carriage to the extreme left and place the pencil or pen at the edge of the card guide and the scale. Then move the carriage to the right to effect the line. For vertical lines, put the carriage at the desired space and place the pencil at the card guide and scale and move the platen up/down as necessary.

2. How alone you feel in this crowd- tourist fell slightly alienated but locals experience deeper issues like poverty and exploitation
3. Heaps of Death and ruin- Tourists can leave anytime, while locals are stuck
4. • People who inhabit the place in which you just passed cannot stand you*- Tourists can leave anytime while locals are stuck with consequences of tourism
5. And every tourist is a native somewhere- Travel freedom is privilege that many people in the world do not have due to money, or is it that they lack freedom of the mind?

Keep in mind that modern knowledge of large portions of the Ancient Near East only surfaced after the 1800s, so the tradition would have required intermediaries from the ANE into other cultures to be passed down to the building of the White House in 1792.
