It’s not a pro lens so it isn’t built like one. But it never pretends to be one either. The edges can be soft when shot wide open and the IS only compensates around two stops
I have to say, though — f/5.6 to f/2.8 equivalent is pretty nifty in well-lit indoors
At 135mm, the background is magnified/compressed enough to create some blur if the subject is relatively close and/or the background is distant from the subject.
Which is sort of what you want anyway...
anything that helps the researcher generate concepts for the emerging theory. According to Ralph, Birks, and Chapman field notes can come from informal interviews, lectures, seminars, expert group meetings, newspaper articles, Internet mail lists, even television shows, conversations with friends etc.[21]
Reminds me of how Luhmann wasn't just reading empiric publications for his theory — he also read some fiction
When we look to a prior model or example for inspiration, we may actually become stuck: designers refer to this as “fixation.” In creative generation research, when participants are given examples before a task that requires them to invent something new, such as a new toy, their inventions tend to incorporate aspects of the examples—and thus are less novel.

the question of whether to force the #linking of a new note to one that already exists in the slipbox.
Directionality doesn't really matter if you can see both notes at once (e.g. side by side in Obsidian panes; an array of paper cards on your table).
Though, if time is your fundamental ordering pattern, you could use old-to-new flow whereby new stuff preferentially appends to old notes before they're codified as new/standalone/etc. notes. See also: TheSephist's incremental notes
I think the underlying point is one of common law-like precedence -- some (set of) note N, constrains the semantic/action/application/etc. space of (novel) (set of) note N'. Though, I'm not a mathematician...
you should still cite the source so you can review the context in which it appears and then cite it in your output.
Citation doesn't have to be hard either -- Zotero immediately comes to mind
There’s a lot at stake when putting thoughts into words.
Mostly communicative efficiency :-)
And everything that I learn, I learn for a particular task, and once it’s done, I immediately forget it
Terribly relatable :-)
Cohesion and coherence may not exist in his notes for us as distant viewers of them, but this doesn’t mean that they do not exist for him while using his box of notes.
Internal models/schemas of slipbox use take precedence over external models/schemas of slipbox use (indexing, addressing, etc.). Implicates Luhmann may have had tacit "handling" experiences with his slipbox unknown to us even today
They neither require internal “cohesion nor coherence” in their systems which are direct extensions of their minds where that cohesion and coherence are stored.
General definition of Zettelkasten as a collection of notes that serves to extend/reflect one's thinking and/or memory, networked or not
What’s the intention behind finding these people?
Less about finding people, more about finding their work -- namely whether the Zettelkasten does or does not aid productivity. Many people have goals for their slipbox -- personal learning, theory-crafting, information organization, etc. -- but to what extent have they actually attained these goals?
ACTIVELY WORK AGAINST YOUR NATURAL URGE TO USE YOUR ZETTELKASTEN NUMBERS AS TOPICAL HEADINGS! MIX IT UP INSTEAD.
... because functional differentiation of notecards will occur regardless of your original / top-level categories so long as you append notecards to their most relevant neighbor
It could be speculated that these classes deal with interference on a cosmic level
and/or the class system could be dictated on the level of agency available to the character. Passive classes tend to have less agency, active classes tend to have more agency. I'm thinking about how Caliborn, a Lord, had enough agency to not trick Calliope into removing the chain but to just bite his leg off. Very symbolic. And alpha Calliope, setting up a stage and essentially inviting Jane and Jade to share their memories. Or Muse Calliope contextualizing Jade about John's retcon and his alt-self death.
She wasn't convinced, so I asked her what she thought a good way for personal reflection was, and she responded "talking to people."
Our personalities sublimate and gain complexity in the presence of others.
knowledge that is very hard to acquire (In the broadest definition) or knowledge that is embodied in a person (or group) and that they can’t make fully explicit
Informational dark matter
There is no known cure for dementia.
I dream of the day this phrasing changes.
volition in the face of novel stimuli was mediated through a linguistic control mechanism and experienced as auditory verbal hallucination.
You mean, "The right side of the brain talks to the left side of the brain as a different entity".
Yikes.
Luhmann, by contrast, barely wrote about his Zettelkasten: he focused on his prolific research output, then published a couple small essays about his practices near the end of his career.
It's really really really ironic that, as our knowledge graphs and gardens become more complex, the harder it is to incentivize ourselves to discuss their inner workings with people. It's a lot how we can't explain how our literal brain (and to a cognitive extent, our minds) works. We focus on the output. And so [[We work from terminal components]].
it’s helpful to design our external cognitive systems such that our day-to-day noodling can accrete
So true! But this doesn't acknowledge the fact that tools for thought are not modeled after our minds. Programmers do not have concepts like "the unconscious" or "dreaming" in mind while making note-taking apps. [[All current tools for thought fixate on highly conscious thinking]].
Leaps of insight emerge from prior thought
It's genuinely wild that we're coming to similar/same conclusions but with different mental modes. Matuschak is really keen on the crystallizing "Evergreen note" model. I'm more keen on the fluid-continuous fundamental unit of [[mental contexts]].
Anyway. In my words, this would be called "bruteforcing insight from old material" (which I use in the Ne-Si pairing), or "old works precipitate new ideas and themes with time and resurfacing".
Take these “idea seeds” seriously; write them down; add them to your idea file or personal journal. You never know when they might come in handy!
Seedboxes are incredibly useful. I never really bother with the categorization of "fleeting notes". All notes are, in a sense, fleeting.
Genius is raw, belligerent, uncontainable insight.
She also responded to commenters on her video who were unfavorably comparing her complaints to the plight of Ukrainians by saying, “Listen, to those who are writing all sorts of filth, all these propaganda stories, I absolutely don’t give a shit.”
something something wrong side of history something something but you didn't hear it from me...

Not “I learned this!” but “I built this!”
IMO, this is not the only way to share your progress.
Knowledge loves to be shared--not necessarily applied, all the time, every hour, every day.

"the eagerness to be useful to a friend" pulls fragments from your mind. i unabashedly quoted and referenced other people's posts in my early Tumblr reblogs when i was just getting started there. but too much of it is exhausting:
hey, how are you?
The skull emoji is me confused over the tone of the message. Is it negative? Is it regretful? I genuinely can't tell.
The other message is just that. I don't know much about you. I was genuinely surprised to hear you were part of dreamlying. Regardless, I regret we didn't get to know each other better.
I find it a bit silly that [[tweets]] in [[mastodon]] are called [[toots
Posts in Mastodon are almost certainly called toots for endearment/whimsy. Birds tweet, but elephants toot.

I love this song so, so, so much. Thank you, Lianne La Havas.
