    1. Our most powerful asset will be the collective capability to recognise the dynamics of the planetary phase shift now underway, its unprecedented risks and unfathomable opportunities, and most crucially, its role as a precursor to the next stage in human and planetary evolution as one and the same thing.

      for - similar to - polycrisis and planetary phase shift - Charles Eisenstein's metaphor of birth process - dangerous passage through the womb door

    1. unstable, destabilized, degenerative world

      I have been shown in medicine that extinction is an act of Divine Love. Unstable, destable and degenertaive are all aspects of death and new life Can we find a way to position instability as an evolutionary process?

    1. We asked whether an AI system based on large language models (LLMs) could successfully capture the underlying shared perspectives of a group of human discussants by writing a “group statement” that the discussants would collectively endorse.

      This is the same process as Quaker Clerks of Meetings have been doing for nearly 400 years

    1. the ideas we capture, rene, connect,and search for in our zettelkasten.

      An alternate stating of the process: 1. capture<br /> 2. refine<br /> 3. connect<br /> 4. search

    2. practices related to having and capturing thoughts (chapters 1and 2); rening thoughts into clear ideas that can be repurposed (chapter 3);connecting ideas across topics (chapters 4 and 5); developing theseconnections and making them accessible to you (chapter 6); andtransforming all the above into writing for readers—writing that can bereintegrated back into the system (chapters 7, 8 and 9).

      Overview of Bob Doto's suggested process:<br /> 1. having and capturing thoughts<br /> 2. refining thoughts into clear ideas that can be repurposed<br /> 3. connecting ideas across topics<br /> 4. developing connections and making them accessible<br /> 5. transforming notes into writing for readers 6. re-integrating writing back into the system (he lumped this in with 5, but I've broken it out)

      How do these steps relate to those of others?

      Stencils

      Before writing stencils, be sure to clean your type. (Don't use liquid solvent.)

      Be sure to place the cushion sheet properly behind the stencil.

      Place the paper bail rollers at the extreme left and right of the stencil to prevent them from marking the master.

      For errors, rub individual characters separately with a burnisher using a circular motion.

      Typefaces

      20% more type on a page with elite than 10 inch pica.

      Pica allows approximately 26-40 lines on standard letterhead giving 300-450 words to a page.

      Special characters: - o for degrees ' and " for feet and inches or minutes and seconds along with superscript - division: - backspace colon - pound sterling: L backspace f - exclamation point: period backspace ' - equal sign: hyphen backspace variable hyphen - paragraph mark: P backspace I

    1. The old Cards can be used in many ways. Youcan turn them upside-down, and treat the other endsimilarly, then you can turn them over ,and the backsof them will give you two more spaces to be used.Some might even use the four sides also ! After theCards are entirely covered, they can be used for scrap-books for Hospitals.

      reuse of index cards

      How exactly would fully used ("covered") cards be used for scrapbooks for Hospitals?

    2. These Cards (if used only once) should be labelledand catalogued very carefully.

      How does he define "labelled" and "catalogued"?

      Presumably he means a version of tagging/categorization and possibly indexing them to be able to easily find them again?

    3. How to Express Ideas : Style.

      It could be interesting/useful to create a checklist or set of procedures (perhaps a la Oblique Strategies") for editing a major work.

      Sections in this TOC could be useful for creating such.

    1. But isn't that what the confirmation process is all about here in Washington? And isn't that what the confirmation process is all about? Weeding out the truly qualified to get to the truly available.<br /> —Jon Stewart, White House Correspondents' Dinner 1997

    1. Beyond the cards mentioned above, you should also capture any hard-to-classify thoughts, questions, and areas for further inquiry on separate cards. Regularly go through these to make sure that you are covering everything and that you don’t forget something.I consider these insurance cards because they won’t get lost in some notebook or scrap of paper, or email to oneself.

      Julius Reizen in reviewing over Umberto Eco's index card system in How to Write a Thesis, defines his own "insurance card" as one which contains "hard-to-classify thoughts, questions, and areas for further inquiry". These he would keep together so that they don't otherwise get lost in the variety of other locations one might keep them

      These might be akin to Ahrens' "fleeting notes" but are ones which may not easily or even immediately be converted in to "permanent notes" for one's zettelkasten. However, given their mission critical importance, they may be some of the most important cards in one's repository.

      link this to - idea of centralizing one's note taking practice to a single location

      Is this idea in Eco's book and Reizen is the one that gives it a name since some of the other categories have names? (examples: bibliographic index cards, reading index cards (aka literature notes), cards for themes, author index cards, quote index cards, idea index cards, connection cards). Were these "officially" named and categorized by Eco?

      May be worthwhile to create a grid of these naming systems and uses amongst some of the broader note taking methods. Where are they similar, where do they differ?


      Multi-search tools that have full access to multiple trusted data stores (ostensibly personal ones across notebooks, hard drives, social media services, etc.) could potentially solve the problem of needing to remember where you noted something.

      Currently, in the social media space especially, this is not a realized service.

    1. Typewriters? In 2024? Are You Nuts? by Jesse M. Slater for [[Raconteur Press]]

      A short, but relatively solid typewriter 101 story for someone looking for a distraction-free writing machine. Certainly not completist, but enough to get your toes wet.

      Slater uses his typewriter for a first draft, then edits the second draft as he re-types it into his computer to have a digital copy for further editing and distribution.

    1. There is the handy rails server -d that starts a development Rails as a daemon. The annoying thing is that the scheduler as seen above is started in the main process that then gets forked and daemonized. The rufus-scheduler thread (and any other thread) gets lost, no scheduling happens.
    1. So fork is fast, unsafe, and maybe bloated.
    2. spawn starts a Python child process from scratch without the parent process's memory, file descriptors, threads, etc. Technically, spawn forks a duplicate of the current process, then the child immediately calls exec to replace itself with a fresh Python, then asks Python to load the target module and run the target callable.

    1. Ergodic Reactor

      What could be the principle of work for this device?

      Ergodic, from ergodic process. A process which follow the "ergodic principle"

      • A point in a moving system will eventually visit all parts of the space in a uniform and random sense.
      • Over long periods of time, the time spent by a system in a region of phase space with the same energy is proportional to the volume of that region.

      Reactor, from reaction. The process is an ergodic reaction, what does that mean?

    1. Typewriter Video Series - Episode 147: Font Sizes and the Writing Process by [[Joe Van Cleave]]

      typewriters for note making

      double or 1 1/2 spacing with smaller typefaces may be more efficient for drafting documents, especially first drafts

      editing on actual paper can be more useful for some

      Drafting on a full sheet folded in half provides a book-like reading experience for reading/editing and provides an automatic backing sheet

      typewritten (or printed) sheets may be easier to see and revise than digital formats which may hide text the way ancient scrolls did for those who read them.

      Jack Kerouac used rolls of paper to provide continuous writing experience. Doesn't waste the margins of paper at the top/bottom. This may be very useful for first drafts.

      JVC likes to thread rolls of paper into typewriters opposite to the original curl so as to flatten the paper out in the end.

    1. You can’tinvest based on a tearsheet, but when I'mgoing to go analyze abusiness and breaksomething down,especially when I wasyounger, if I didn't reallyknow a business thatwell and I wanted to getmyself oriented in ahurry, I'd spend 5 or 10minutes with the ValueLine page and pages forthe industry, then Iwould read severalyears’ worth of annualreports and Ks and Qs.But I'd start with thetear sheet and then I'vegot a better long-termsense about where thisbusiness has been.

    1. https://site.xavier.edu/polt/typewriters/nabokov.jpeg via https://site.xavier.edu/polt/typewriters/typers.html

      This photo, similar to others in the Carl Mydans series for LIFE Magazine is surely from his September 1958 photo series, though I couldn't find an original from the LIFE archive.

      Nabokov, reading off of index cards in his zettelkasten, dictates to his wife Vera who is typing on what appears to be a 1949 or 1950 Henry Dreyfuss Royal Quiet De Luxe typewriter.

      Notice metal strip on the back of the typewriter with small rectangular blocks. This is the Royal's tabulator set up which distinguishes the Quiet De Luxe model from the Arrow model.

      The body styling of this typewriter changed in 1950 from Dreyfuss' original 1948 design. Because it's light gray it has to be from '49 or '50 as the '48 original was a black body with dark gray highlights and didn't have chrome across the front as this one does in an alternate angle.

    1. McNeill does not specify whether he believed thatcontent or process was more important.

      I can't help of thinking about the debate on nature vs. nurture here. How might we extend it to the idea of content vs. process with respect to cultural anthropology.

      How does a culture vary based on the content they use and produce with respect to the process by which they transmit and use that same content?

      In colonialized cultures the process has been bastardized which then leads to changes in the content as well. Ultimately both switch and are changed from their original. How could a culture hold onto their past which makes it the culture that it was?

      There's some fun stuff going on at these junctures.

    1. Die französischen Obstbauern müssen ihre Produktion an die globale Erhitzung anpassen. Im Süden werden zunehmend Mandeln, Pistazien und Cashewnüsse angebaut. Dabei muss verhindert werden, dass durch zu viel industrielle Landwirtschaft die Ökosysteme weiter geschädigt werden. Der Agroökonom Serge Zaka fordert ein stärkeres Engagement des Staats bei der Umstellung und weist darauf hin, dass jetzt Entscheidungen getroffen werden, die die "weltweite Geopolitik der Ernährung" 2050 bestimmen werden.

    1. Die Planungen neuer Kohlekraftwerke und die Nutzung von Kohleenergie haben im vergangenen Jahr neue Höchststände erreicht. Vor allem China plant viele neue Kraftwerke. Der Bericht Boom and Burst Coal des Global Energy Monitor stellt außerdem fest, dass Kohlekraftwerke weltweit viereinhalb Mal schneller abgeschaltet werden müssten, um das Ziel des Verzichts auf Kohleenergie bis 2040 zu erreichen.

    1. Die taz berichtet über die argentinische #Fracking-Zone Vaca Muerta und interviewt den ecuadorianischen Juristen und Politiker Alberto Acosta dazu. Acosta hat das Gebiet gerade mit dem International Rights of Nature-Tribunal besucht. Ölfirmen und Militär beuten Vaca Muerta trotz Widerstands der lokalen Mapuche-Bevölkerung aus und verursachen enorme Umweltschäden. Acosta fordert eine "kopernikanische Wende" in der Rechtsprechung, bei der anerkannt wird, dass die Rechte der Menschen von der Erde gewährt werden. https://taz.de/Alberto-Acosta-zu-Fracking-in-Argentinien/!5924912/ https://taz.de/Fracking-in-Argentinien/!5927002/ #fossildevelopment #vacamuerta

    1. Christina Figueres, frühere UN-Klimachefin, hat sich scharf gegen die Versuche des COP28-Vorsitzenden Sultan Al Jaber gewandt, Carbon Capture and Storage als Mittel gegen die Klimakrise zu propagieren. Al Jaber ist Ölminister der Vereinigten Arabischen Emirate und Chef der staatlichen Öl- und Gasfirma Adnoc, einer Mitbesitzerin der OMV: https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2023/may/16/cop28-host-uae-climate-united-arab-emirates

    1. Đie New York Times berichtet über die Folgen des gerade abgeschlossenen Deals zur Schuldenobergrenze für die Dekarbonisierung. Vieles spricht dafür, dass zwar der Bau der Bau der neuen Mountain Valley Pipeline für Erdgas beschleunigt wird Investitionen in die Netzinfrastruktur, die entscheidend dafür sind, ob die Energiewende in den USA gelingt, aber weiter aufgeschoben werden können.

    1. In Deutschland werden durch das LNG-Gesetz Überkapazitäten für den Import von Flüssiggas geschaffen, wobei gleichzeitig bisher geltende Regeln für Umweltprüfungen außer Kraft gesetzt werden. Francesca Mascha Klein kommentiert diese Entwicklung und weist darauf hin, dass der LNG-Ausbau den Klimazielen deutlich widerspricht und auch durch seine erheblichen internationalen Auswirkungen, z.b auf das fracking den Weg in die klimakrise beschleunigt

    1. Es wird erwartet, dass der britische Premierminister Sunak in seiner nächsten Regierungserklärung eine Ausdehnung der Öl- und Gasförderung in der Nordsee und Maßnahmen zum Schutz von Autofahren, z.B. vor Geschwindigkeitsbegrenzungen in Städten, ankündigt. Durch seine anti-Umweltpolitik will sich Sunak von der Labour-Opposition absetzen, die im Augenblick in Großbritannien in Meinungsumfragen weit vor den Tories liegt. https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2023/oct/28/rishi-sunak-to-double-down-on-anti-green-policies-in-kings-speech

    1. Neue Daten der "Global Oil and Gas Exit List" zeigen, dass die Adnoc, die Öl- und Gasgesellschaft der Vereinigten Arabischen Emirate, die weitreichendsten Expansionspläne aller Ölfirmen hat. Die rolle des Adnoc-Chefs Sultan Al Jaber als Präsident der #COP28 sei "lächerlich". Seit 2021 sind weltweit 140 Milliarden Dollar in die Exploration neuer Öl- und Gasfelder geflossen. 96% der 700 im Explorationsgeschäft tätigen Firmen explorieren weiter, 1000 Firmen arbeiten an neuen Pipelines, LNG Terminals und anderer Infrastruktur zur Distribution von Öl und Gas. https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2023/nov/15/cop28-host-uae-oil-plans-data

    1. Die CDU äußert sich in ihrem neuen Grundsatzprogramm klimapolitisch nur sehr vage. Sie setzt auf Kernkraft, Kernfusion und "Technologieoffenheit." Sie will die globale Erhitzung marktwirtschaftlich stoppen, spricht sich aber gleichzeitig für niedrige Energiepreise aus.

    1. for - Alfred North Whitehead - philosophy - process

      Summary - This is a very insightful presentation of Whitehead's process philosophy. It's the first time I was introduced to it via Gyuri but I can see why he wanted to. I could identify many parallels with SRG and Deep Humanity ideas.
