Heinz on content strategy for degrowth. Referenced in my blog https://www.zylstra.org/blog/2019/10/10192/ this day in 2019.

This article does not say a word about the how-to of overwriting one's cognitive scripts, rather it states why you might need to. It describes what they are, how they are useful and when not, and how to detect when they're not.

Cogscripts need review if they are still applicable or no longer provide utility. As with all habits, reflection cycles are needed. This does require being aware of the existence of cogscripts/entrained responses. A range of childhood cogscripts are likely past their use-by date.

Scripts in memory for text https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/0010028579900094 April 1979.

Abstract mentions how our existing scripts help determine how we remember texts that describe common events. The order of narration, and filling in of details is influenced by our internal script upon recall. Vgl [[Luisteren gaat uit van wat je al weet 20030309070740]] the linguistic notion that listening starts from what you already know (here the cogscripts)

cognitive scripts / habitual behaviour is often an entrained response to a common situation. Situations that are common for many people means there is commonality in their cognitive scripts too. 'Copying the neighbours' is a heuristic that informs the formation of such cognitive scripts in a situation, which is also one of the heuristics that contributes to emergence. Are shared cognitive scripts, through emergence, atomic particles of culture? (Vgl [[Culture is the Greatest Hits collection of social facts 20070828174701]] (Social facts are agreements in groups of people.) and [[The Blank Slate by Steven Pinker 20070828073721]] where he presents a culture as the sum of the individual psychologies of those in a culture.

I don't see that 'control' and 'cognitive scripts' are in juxtaposition. Handing things off to 'subroutines' isn't the same as reducing oneself to that subroutine. I drive my car mostly on cognitive scripts so I can pay actual attention to traffic and surroundings, pilots use checklists to get a plane in the air and back down, it helps to be more aware and in control, and not be swamped in noisy complexity that distracts.

Such an odd paragraph. Yes changing habits tied to aspects of identity can be hard (but the other way around vgl [[Gewoonteveranderingen 20200928165507]] can also be the very starting point of change. "As a business leader I don't do .... and do do ....")

The (another) strange notion here is that the self-identity of 'successful business leader' is tied to 'long hours and managing intense stress'. I'd say that you probably won't be a successful business leader if that is your daily experience. So the example falls flat, reducing working hours and stress will not challenge one's identity as a successful business leader, at least not in any sane individual.

suggestions to reflect and change cogscripts (the article talks about 'strategies but that's bs, these are operational tactics): - journal to see recurring patterns - take some risks (vgl [[Probe proberend handelen 20201111162752]]) - 'update your scripts' which isn't a 'strategy' nor tactic but the objective for which the list is made that this point listed in. it's the key point that the article circles around, but left completely empty. Vgl [[Gewoonteveranderingen 20200928165507]] wrt process changes.

habits can be altered.

Automated responses are shortcuts, but it may blind us to differences (jumping to conclusions), opportunity costs and hidden consequences.

Link: https://sk.sagepub.com/reference/encyclopedia-of-media-violence/i1171.xml article that apparently looks at how "the model of cognitive scripts to explain how children learn aggression-related knowledge structures" which is a diff context than it is cited here. The claims in this paragraph do not stem from that link but are stated in the links abstract as pre-existing knowledge informing the article at the link. Cogscripts may script our social behaviour (it's how we learned it), but it doesn't follow the scripts control our behaviour, even if we can usually expect ourselves and others to stick to them. Control implies force/intent on the side of the script and lack of agency of the individual. Intuitively it's the other way around, it's a tool / aid / scaffold. This is the rules/structure as skeleton vs suit of armour discussion, sounds like.

Review mentions the book is situated interdisciplinary: cs, psych, ling, phil

According to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Script_theory Shanck and Abelson extended a pre-existing script theory as early AI work to represent procedural K This to me strengthens the link with emergence and culture. It also compares to [[Standard operating procedures met parameters 20200820202042]] : my behaviour with some input parameters is pretty predictable to myself (because of such entrained cogscripts) and thus also scriptable as personal software tools.

Cogscripts depend on personal perspective and experience (compare how members of privileged in group and outgroups experience the same situation), and on culture you feel part of (i.e. the collection of previously adopted scripts / social facts)

claim: cognitive scripts can become obsolete and hinder your personal decision making. The earlier connection to such scripts being formed in childhood: are we talking behavioural therapy here?

The purpose of cognitive scripts is efficiency of mental decision making.

example of common cognitive script, and in this case a common cultural one too.

only in childhood? source? personal? some yes, though examples given below are more generic within a culture (e.g. typical behaviour in restaurants.)

Peter pointed me to (t)his 2009 blogpost of adding your location to a DNS record. At the time he configured it so that his Plazes location was written to his DNS. e.g. I could share my location by adding DNS LOC to ton.zijlstra.eu e.g.

trusting the process (ones own, or a facilitator's) implies recognising/knowing the process. The source of trust is that the process in earlier cycles delivered useful (to me) outputs. I usually term in Practice, as not all practice is process, but all process is practice. Vgl my [[% Practice Praktijk OP]] elephant path.

So often I encounter an old piece of text I wrote, where it contains the start of ideas I am currently working on thinking it just recently crossed my path. E.g. EU regulations wrt data, I think it entered my work in 2019/2020, but already in 2017 I gave a keynote outlining the things I currently actively work on 5 yrs later.

Posting talks about advice, w.r.t. the word's origin being connected to middle English 'opinion, thought, judgment' and earlier from a vis, apparent / visible to me, and the Latin videre, to see. At first glance an interesting connection, as so much of my work is based on seeing examples and patterns elsewhere and bringing that to a client's context as advice. Vgl phenomenology [[Fenomenologie Husserl 20200924110518]]

IndieWeb POSSE avant la lettre. However I don't point to syndication here, but to services coming to me to fetch the relevant content. Like inbound RSS on micro.blog.

2004 me complaining about silo'd data collections and saying that complaint is routine. This being pre FB and birdsite.

I probably follow Harold's blog since then too. I remember Lilia and Harold interacted about PKM early on, and Lilia I and others organised a PKM workshop at KM Europe in Nov 2004. That came out of conversations on Knowledge Board, then a EU funded KM network of learning. KB based conversation was also what led me to blogging from Nov 2002.

I agree, it's all about the interaction and digital makes that easier, richer and ever more powerful. Reading that paragraph I also realise that my own practical interpretation is simultaneously one more of private knowledge management, rather than personal embedded in my network. Am happy to share my pkm practices, am happy to share most of the material I process in my pkm system, but the core of it feels private, perhaps due to seeing it as fragile still / less robust types of insights?

I stopped traveling heavily mid 2016 when our daughter was born. The pandemic hit right when I was gearing up to do more work outside of Europe again. Like Harold I have reservations about when travel is needed, the reflex to do things on site / in person has changed locally just as much. Am in conversations with WB however to start contributing to their work in Central Asia, maybe sometime next year. Travel is a habit as Bryan Alexander remarked to me, and it is something I do miss. Although I do not miss the tediousness of the travel itself, it's the interaction with professional peers from different context in places that operate differently. Helps me to cut through non-sense excuses at home as well (we can't do this 'cause.... when I just returned from a place where they could with a fraction of the means)

I'm mostly interested in the current thinking about the role of the external environment in extended congition. Offloading K to our environment is extremely old, and digital PKM takes it on faith. At the same time personal experience suggests interplay with what I offload is also key. Sveiby saw external structure as the next component after PKM, for KM. The better I remember what I offloaded and how/why the more useful it is to work with the offloaded stuff.

Total indifference? The moment of the law's passing in July was the end of years of discussion and debate. The proposal was published at the end of 2020, and had been years in the making. Also it's a continuation of pre-existing regulations. Things only come suddenly if you haven't been paying attention to the process.

This is BS. There is every need to base yourself on the legislative text itself. There's nothing tortuous about that text.

Indeed, and why I think the timeline is a likely the target. The cachet has been severely eroded already though, with Q Anon and covid conspiracy fantasies running rampant in the timeline despite those who do the spreading doing that in the context of their professional reputations.

This may indeed help somewhat. A long time account is more likely to be legit. It does provoke its own wave of online abuse, as also seen on Twitter where people are pressed to hand over long time Twitter accounts.

Maybe it's not the companies or potential scam victims that are the target here. Maybe it is the timeline that is the target. This would fit my own experience that the timeline has been deteriorating enormously, up to the point that I no longer allow the timeline to be visible in my profile. Unfollowd everyone.

The 'new' fake accounts are not doing the same as previous types of fake accounts, and are not responsive.

Reason for fake accounts is unclear as yet. Headshots seem AI generated.

Claim: anarchic ideal is flawed in the face of climate urgency. Solutions depend on working government, other paths would be too slow. First reaction is maybe any 'ideal' is flawed for any type of solution, there's a path between dystopian and utopian visions. Ministry for the Future explores if speed of government is enough, and contains a number of quite violent nudges causing tipping points (like simultaneously blowing a range of (private) jets out of the sky, making flying too high risk for anyone overnight.)

This is a project by Manton of Micro.blog. Check to see if he discussed it in the IndieWeb chat channels in more detail. esp wrt use for check-ins ==> he did, first on #2022/07/20 Also mentions jonhays.me as co-creator. A stated purpose is indeed to move away from using 4sq

Phrasing 'will be' is used several times. It is unclear to me how 'ready' this project is to be used. Repository is at https://github.com/meridianplaces/meridian

Meridian does not itself support check-ins like 4sq of old. It could be build on top of Meridian.

Meridian here suggests to potentially submit data by posting to your blog with micropub (presumably adding a lat-long or venue name) and have the micropub parsing also run data through Meridian's API. I suspect, like with Media, this introduces some non-trivial multiple-rounds of interaction with a micropub client, to get and update the right venue. This is also a potential path to do check-ins on my blog

Meridian wants to solve a) finding places given a current lat-long b) create a new place on a certain lat-long.

Meridian can be used to push changes to OSM under my own account.

Stephen Downes points to this https://www.downes.ca/post/74159 and adds One thing I believe is missing from the advice: be clear about why you are networking. What do you hope to accomplish? Are you seeking potential collaborators for research? Are you looking to get hired as a contractor? Are you trying to learn what certain developers were thinking? Are you trying to promote an idea or concept? This is important, because it should also set yourself in a frame where you are considering what they want to accomplish, and how you can best serve that need. This means more listening than talking, usually, to understand where you can help, where you can add value, where you can offer a tangible benefit.

Vgl [[Goed voorbereide ontmoetingen 20210411174134]] and [[Goed nabereide ontmoetingen 20160714174139]] because [[Kruisende paden zijn schaars 20081115170729]]

In general this is a bland list of advice (no surprisal), and Stephen's addition is not new to me either.

Follow-up is something I routinely do. Not just connecting to people online, but adding their blogs to my reader, making notes about some of the stories I heard and the people who told them. Following online traces after an event for at least a few days. Not primarily to be remembered or stay connected, mostly to internalise the interesting things I heard. It helps me to memorise what I encountered much better. [[Goed nabereide ontmoetingen 20160714174139]]

Asking questions works always well, trying to understand someone's work/motivations. People like to talk about the things they find important.

strike up conversations early on. I find speaking at an event helps because it turns it into a place I belong at more. But without it, mentally claiming the space as my 'home turf' helps too. Which is why when I facilitate sessions I want to see and walk around the space before any participants arrive, so I can project my mental image of what we'll do in the session on the space.

I don't much like the premise here (preparing to strike up specific conversations with specific people) as it runs counter to the natural flow of interaction at any event (ugh 'networking event'). I do prepare though because face to face crossroads are scarce. I check who is coming that I know and would like to catch up with, I check sessions beforehand, and whether I'd like to talk to the speaker, I check for preconf meet-ups etc, and follow posts/tags about it from other attendees. That and having a set of questions and interests to guide my participation.

Not mentioned in the video: The ExcaliBrain plugin is clearly based on The Brain software, both in terms of types of links between notes, and how it shows them. The name suggests so too, and the plugin author names The Brain as source of inspiration. I used The Brain as desktop interface from 1997 until 2004-ish

I disagree with Nicole van der Hoeven about commenting out explicit relationships so that the plugin will visualise them but the note won't show the link. The notes should always show all links I explicitly set, that's the whole point. Machine inferred links are a different matter, which deserve a toggle as they are suggestions made to me. Links are my real work in my notes.

Setting explicit links (parent, child, friends) is similar to [[Drie links in een Notie 20220228111240]] after Soren Bjornstadt, where I aim to link from each note to one higher level of abstraction note, to one lower level of abstraction but more concrete note, and one related note at the same level. This creates 'chains' of 4 notes with a content-based implied order.

I strongly dislike the parent-child-sibling vocabulary as it implies an order of creation. Parents first, children from parents. I.e. abstract concepts first. This is not how it mostly works. Abstract notions are often created from, intuited from, the scaffolding of less abstract ones.

Nicole also talks about this implied hierarchy, and mentions a higher level type of use, which is adding more semantics to links. E.g. to sketch out lines of argumentation (A reinforces / contradicts B) (for which the three link approach just mentioned is probably a hybrid). This is the type of linking that Tinderbox allows. She hasn't used it that way but suggests it's likely the most valuable use case. I think that is true. It's where linking becomes the work again, as opposed to lazy or automatic linking between notes.

Def to experiment with this, but need to change the terms used as is made possible by the plugin.

(update, I almost verbatim used this first impressions dump for a blogpost https://www.zylstra.org/blog/2022/09/the-brain-comes-to-obsidian-as-excalibrain/ That's a nice development)

Claudia Dawson writes about before going with a gut instinct to rate ones intensity of emotions, and then trusting ones gut more if those emotions are less intensive. This is building a reflective loop into it, without doing away with the instinctive response. Vgl how I ask Y to rate from 1-10 when she feels pain (which she now does by herself too), to better understand her.

Go through listed resources wrt [[Holding questions 20091015123253]] and relation to mixed emotions / discomfort.

Within facilitation [[Holding questions 20091015123253]] is a very useful concept, not seeking to immediately answer them or converge on consensus too soon. It has two effects, that of allowing a more varied range of ideas and responses to surface, and that of better listening to eachother as you pre-empt a first response (which often serves to shut down a new line of inquiry). Such first responses in my experience are tied to discomfort (the immediate response serves to push it away). Discomfort may come from mixed emotions, and the suggestion here is to take pause when that happens and observe it. Holding questions, outside of facilitation is also a tool to scope curiosity, a la Feynman's list of 'interesting problems' to carry around: [[Twaalf favoriete vraagstukken 20201006163045]] Here too a certain unease / set of mixed feelings is a reason to let the issue 'hang' for a while to see what turns up over time.

It's indeed an interesting distinction. Does it represent a different approach in starting point, or is it a deeper difference in artisanship? And there's a bridge needed I suppose. Just thinking does not lead to writing, only wordsmithing not to thought through storyline. I can think of fun and great non-fiction books that read more thought out, and those where wording was leading it seems. But is that sense proof of the actual process? Read Venkatesh original text.

If this is a useful distinction and ignoring the fact I'm not an author, I fall on the thinking side mostly. Back at uni I wrote columns where the words were leading the way though. Where the verbal construct was the fun, not conveying a point or story.

Claim: recipes are not copyrightable, cook books claim copyright based on the images (I would suspect based on the selection and ordering in the book too, as well as the 'prose stories' generally above it "I came across this recipe while hiking through Tuscany where in a small village this extermely old lady sat outside rolling fresh pasta, and upon seeing me created the best ever sauce to go with it and feted me until deep in the night. The next morning she slipped her family's secret sauce recipe in my backpack as I said goodbye"

It wasn't legal advice then, and no precedent has been set here. This is just nice marketing for his graphic novel.

Author's intent was not to have AI provided with copyright. Intent was to claim copyright for himself while using algorithmic support in creating images. That would never be in doubt though. In the end author did not claim/receive copyright on the images but on the graphic novel which was even less ever in doubt he would be able to.

BS. Author got copyright on a graphic novel, i.e. an arranged series of whatever images plus authored text. Even if author got copyright on individual images (because of iterative prompting to get useful results), and in any jurisdiction where copyright is automatic/does not need to be claimed/received the author actually does, it still is unremarkable. Claiming the algorithm to be the author would still be unremarkable in terms of copyright as long as it is a person or legal entity claiming those rights. Having the algorithm hold the copyright would be interesting (but copyright presupposes a human or human controlled legal entity) See: monkey-selfies where at issue wasn't whether a monkey could have creative intent, but whether a monkey coud hold copyright (no, obviating the need for an answer on creative intent).

Read an SF novel once where an AI was held by a legal entity, and that AI ran that legal entity, which was how it gained autonomy. Fun enough, but a legal entity would still need a human ultimate beneficial owner and human director / decision maker. Those can be shills, regularly are even, but that does not diminish their liability nor means acknowledging the AI's personhood or whatever.

Example of 'journalism' muddying the waters in order to have a story to publish at all.

• copyright presupposes a human or legal entity copyright holder
• copyright is a given when a certain threshold of creative effort is surpassed
• copyright is given to a work

The work copyrighted here are not the algorithmic assisted images, the work is a graphic novel, a collective of arranged images, written text etc. One could do that with any public domain stuff and still have copyright on the work. Additionally the author prompted the algorithm towards desired outcomes. Both satisfy the creativity threshold. Like in https://www.zylstra.org/blog/2022/06/dall-e-mini-siso-stereotype-in-stereotype-out/ where I listed the images as public domain (because I thought my prompts were uncreative), but the resulting arranging / juxtaposing multiple prompts as copyrighted by me (obviously not the algorithm).

There's no ghost in the machine. Machines are irrelevant to copyright considerations.

Hoe is dit berekend? Ik zit op een gemiddeld verbruik qua gas, en kennelijk 1000 kWh bovengemiddeld qua stroom (gem 2400kWh) / jr. Maar ik betaal, ondanks flexibel contract, niet zoveel dat 190 korting per maand zelfs maar mogelijk is. Er is 100 in de maand bijgekomen in de loop van het jaar. Zijn de verschillen zo groot tussen leveranciers dan? (Wellicht die tussenhandelaren die geen eigen productie hebben? Altijd een een leverancier kiezen die zelf productie heeft zou ik zeggen). Of zijn de bedragen het gemiddelde bespaarde tijdens het stookseizoen en de verbruiksgetallen op jaarbasis?

Ha! Fun strategy. Buy an ISBN number (just over 100 Euro, or 28 Euro if you buy 10), and do a vanity print run of blogposts, sending 2 copies to the Royal Library.

Data (unclear which/where from?) suggests 90% of Ukrainian drones pre July were lost, due to electronic warfare. The large number was what overcame it. Cheap fixed wing models most successful because they are inefficient to target. NATO here is said to underestimate electronic warfare. NATO should re-evaluate role of UAVs. Currently regulated like aircraft, falling e.g. under flight control Needed numbers of them puts them more in the 'ammunitions' column, and regulations should treat it as such.

Matt Webb keeps coming up with these fascinating viewpoints, as he did back at Reboot conf in the '00s. Great little points here again too: to make virtual spaces more acceptable they need more 'togetherness' a 'window looking out' and a way of seeing people approach the space.

I once quipped that my blog is already several times older than the average life span of a company, and has indeed survived a bunch of platforms I could have chosen as 'permanent' residence for my blogposts. That Flickr is around after 15yrs is already rather remarkable. Self-hosting is indeed the best guarantee while you live. Paying attention to your digital inheritence is needed. It was already so for my parents who passed 2015, even though they were hardly active online. It was definitely so for my friend N who passed too young and was very active online. Most of the images we have of our daughter are digital. We want to make physical books out of them as a preservation measure.

Archiving is a specialist's job. I've witnessed some of the work the Dutch National Archive does. It's not 'likely needs' selection, it is 'most definitely' needs selection. Letting users mark their images as worthy of preservation is probably not the way. Future generations are likely most interested in ordinary images, street scenes, how family live looked, how we lived, our interiors, how we celebrated etc. Anthropology and history. For all the rest, the elites, the big events, there's press photography.

This is probably a useful perspective: how do you keep collections long term, that are of relevance because of the sheer volume of tracking ordinary lives. Compare to how the Dutch Royal Library has preserved blogs (not mine I think, as I write mostly in English).

Overview of dConstruct conf (Jeremy Keith)

Interesting phrasing, value sticking to a place. I assume to the community involved, or as per myself above to the group deploying a tech in the context of their mutual connections and issue to solve. For any given type of value that is. It's a nice positive phrasing for what otherwise amounts to avoiding value extraction out of a community.

This is key imo : created by, with and for. Just for is not enough, with is the minimum. By is preferred if possible. If with, not by, then the community involved needs to be able to fully control deployment and settings. It must be within the scope of the user group.

While community tech is important, being a community is a pretty high threshold. For any group that is connected, and shares the same issue, can increase its agency with what is here defined as community tech.

Alberto says of this https://twitter.com/alberto_cottica/status/1570357027485925378 'most communities gravitate towards tech minimalism: "community tech" is 95% community, 5% tech. And then funders lose interest.' Unless funders are from within the community I suppose. Goes back to networked agency / and the need for tech to be smaller than us, to be within scope of control of the people using the tech for a specific purpose.

I think this sentence should read "noone is allowed". If you can't care for an animal in the winter, you're not allowed to graze it. This is what never made sense to me in the tragedy of the commons story in the first place, that there would be no feedback mechanisms elsewhere, that the grazing meadow is the only place this would play out, and inside a community that has many other reasons to balance things out. There's therefore always a different place in the system or constellation to introduce negative feedback, and prevent runaway effects.

take note, and compare to e.g. [[Community building 20100210214508]] a la Wenger. Which overlap / are expressions of the same thing on a different scale? Which are qualitatively different?

HvA artikel by Michal Wozniak (rysiek on Masto)

Dealing with 'fake news' is not about counteracting every piece of it with debunking. It is about addressing: - centralisation of socmed-adtech-media (Vgl DMA, DSA, GDPR, AIR, and on the other end of the spectrum [[Algo amplification of hate speech normalises it 201801113123304]]) - media literacy of the public (Vgl 'Finnish model' and [[Crap detection is civic duty 2018010073052]])

Belgian artist Dries Depoorter (he als did the face and mobile detection of MEPs during debates about face recog I think) has a project where he matches influencer posted images with footage from public videocams where they took that image. And how long it takes to take that 'casual shot of me in front of some landmark'. Aptly called 'The follower'

https://web.archive.org/web/20220914080747/https://www.noemamag.com/against-localism-in-food/

The title and skimming first few paragraphs reads as a potential straw man argument? Local isn't equal to sustainable, yes. Transport is less emissions than local beef, yes. But local is a relative term (50km circle, or national, or EU sourced e.g.). Local sourcing (regional) does improve margins for farmers, allowing them to actually reduce their footprint by producing less for the same income. Transport does matter if it's the same product that's obtained locally (EU or other continent) vs someplace else (apples coming in from half a world away still in my supermarket vs picking an apple from my own tree as it is September). Agree that stuff from someplace else that isn't available locally, improves variety and well being, but I don't think that's the point of the local movement. It's MacD hamburgers being shipped frozen from Middle America to the EU, eating Argentinian steaks not EU raised beef etc. Stuff that is available locally sourced year round but shipped in from far away because it is more efficient for the producer. Local movements are less about the local, more about the obvious flaws of shaping global supply chains to purposes that do not include sustainability or foot print, and treat it as a side effect to be ignored or fixed afterwards instead of prevented. Vgl the two farmers who could choose to increase their heads of cattle to remain economically viable but instead did away with their cattle, started growing soy beans on their few hectares and verticalised their set-up, selling their own vegan yoghurts etc. That reduces footprint massively (no cattle), locally sources something that would otherwise come from far way (soy beans) and improves their margins by replacing a global supply chain with their own vertical and a national customer base.

The entire 2009 posting by Alex Bayley is provided here. Sumana's response is marked further down. The original Yahoo text is at https://web.archive.org/web/20140916121930/https://developer.yahoo.com/ypatterns/social/people/reputation/competitive.html At the top it's labeled 'best practice', which is a tell of not actually understanding community building/stewarding. At the bottom there it mentions Tara Hunt on healthy community, which brings us back to Wenger's work I think. Yahoo was after design patterns here, which make sense as such. I think my issue is that such design choices in a platform tend to be fixed after design and thus can become dominant. The natural flow of a community interaction likely will go in multiple directions over time. Would any such platforms, not the ones mentioned by Yahoo as examples, be ever able to change which design patterns come to the fore? Meaning, built your platform to have all of these available, with the community using a platform able to choose time and place where one of those design patterns is expressed in the platform.

It's a category error to equate the users of a platfom, or worse the platform itself, with a community. A tech company's view is often limited to customer audience, and dubs it community. A person's view starts from within the communities they're already part of: how does a tool support (my role in) my communities? Vgl https://www.zylstra.org/blog/2019/09/on-being-human-tech-and-the-abuse-of-community/

At first instance not convinced of this spectrum. Is a group still a community if it's combative (or competitive) as a group? I do recognise that each of those spectral 'lines' occur within any community. Yet, the defining aspect of community is its social cohesion, pointing towards the collaborative end of things.

That's a good observation, this tie in to reputation. It connects to individual action, within the context of a community, with the purpose of gaining reputation. Vgl the role of identity as alternative in building scientific reputation as opposed to journal publishing. [[Identiteit als wetenschappelijk reputatieinstrument 20091019074407]] Vgl Jim Wales wrt wikipedians, "I don't need to know who you are, I need to know who you are within Wikipedia", as sort of a faceted reputation.

nice metaphor, tide pools. The examples are intra-communal though, not defining the community as the spectrum seems to imply. Formulated this way it falls back to [[Community building 20100210214508]] a la Etienne Wenger, where varying spaces, juxtaposing internal/external perspectives, balancing safety for members with excitement of stuff happening, rhythm, and pathways for more/less engagement are the knobs one can turn after reflecting on the overall situation of a community of practice. In such reflection individual's behaviours are part of what leads to (probing) interventions.

Andy Sylvester says his engineering type of notes don't fit with the concept of atomic note. A 'how to solve x' type of note would fit my working def of 'atomic' as being a self-contained whole, focused on a single thing (here how to solve x). If the summary can be its title I'd say it's pretty atomic. Interestingly in [[Technik des wissenschaflichen Arbeitens by Johannes Erich Heyde]] 1970, Heyde on p18 explicitly mentions ZK being useful for engineers, not just to process new scientific insights from e.g. articles, but to index specific experiences, experiments and results. And on p19 suggests using 1 ZK system for all of your material of various types. Luhmann's might have been geared to writing articles, but it can be something else. Solving problems is also output. I have these types of notes in my 'ZK' if not in the conceptual section of it.

Vgl [[Ambachtelijke engineering 20190715143342]] artisanal engineering, Lovelock Novacene 2019, plays a role here too. Keeping a know-how notes collection in an environment where also your intuition can play a creative role is useful. I've done this for coding things, as I saw experienced coders do it, just as Andy describes, and it helped me create most of my personal IndieWeb scripts, because they were integrated in the rest of my stuff about my work and notions. Vgl [[Vastklik notes als ratchet zonder terugval 20220302102702]]

This is the wrong way around, positioning the tech corp's perspective as more imporant than society's. It's insulting to position community as a means, similar to talking about users which limits the view one has of people and what they try to achieve to only their interaction with a tool.

The aim of scaling tech is again a tech company's limited view of the world, that should not be adopted by people using a tech tool. Individual acts scale to community to society/culture, but that's a different type of scaling. One through sideways copying and adoption. Not to scale a tool but to amplify/scale an effect or impact. Tech is a scaffold for enriching society, society is not there to scale tech corps.

A tech company's view is often limited to customer audience, and dubs it community. A person's view starts from within the communities they're already part of: how does a tool support (my role in) my communities?

Vgl [[Networked Agency 20160818213155]] wrt having a specific issue to address that is shared by the user group wielding a tech / tool, in their own context.

Vgl [[Open data begint buiten 20200808162905]] wrt the only yardstick for open data stems from its role as policy instrument: impact achieved outside in the aimed for policy domains through the increased agency of the open data users.

Tech impact is not to be measured in eyeballs, usage, revenue etc. That's (understandably) the corporation's singular and limited view, the rest of us should not adopt it as the only possible one.

Are there endless layers of 'belonging' to a place and community? Does the onion have an actual core? If you're not born somewhere, and you're family doesn't go back n generations?

"Violence as a Service", criminals seek and offer others online to commit violence against other people. E.g. molotov cocktail, brick through the window. Mostly amongst SIM swappers (to take over accounts). Krebs suggests this may become a more common thing, like swatting, which started out as a crime amongst gamers and got wider adoption in the US (such as amongst SIM swappers).

Doctorow on writing while avoiding distraction, 2009. What Rendle referenced wrt TKTKTK advice to avoid research during a writing session

Cory does not claim originality, just listing things he finds useful.

Use a specific marker to be able to later find the things that need completion / factoids added. US journalists use "TK" ("to come" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/To_come_(publishing) ) or "TKTK"

Rendle has used "TKTKTK" and it helps him a lot to keep writing momentum or to jot down half ideas / half remembered things to be researched and fixed later.

I recognise the distracting effect described. Now have added a keyboard shortcut (.tk) that will insert TKTKTK in a text.

Onderzoek/fact-checking <> schrijven When writing don't attempt to find/verify all details you want to mention. Searching for a factoid will distract from getting more text down. (Cory Doctorow 2009 post)

Underlying assumption is keeping a FPTP district representation system alive. You could go proportional representation (which is more common globally). Which would also end the 2 party divisive effects in society. Would be a much more fundamental change though, and Brin's suggestion would likely help in the current system (but also cementing it deeper into place)

Useful and likely human written texts show the richness of the context it results from, by showing and linking. Not just to/with 1) other texts, but also 2) other actions (things created, data gathering, experiments, tools adapted) and 3) people (that provided input, you look at, interact with outside the text). Even if such things were generated following up those leads should show its inauthenticity.

A text is a result of work, next to itself being work to write it. A text that does not show any of the work that led to writing a text is suspect. Does a text reflect an exploration that it annotates? Does it show social connections, include data points, external examples, artefacts created alongside the text (e.g. lists), references to the wider context/system of what the text discusses, experimental actions.

Relevant links in a text are a sign of the context the text emerged from, and the conversation it is situated in. Lack of such links or references is a potential sign of inauthentic texts (generated or not)

DA progress

Early August a 2nd adapted DA text was circulated by Czech EU presidency. Apparantly as a result of the 19 July telecom group meeting, and in prep for the next weeks telco group meeting.

DA progress: Czech presidency has circulated a first compromise text early July 2022 for the Telecom working group mid July.

Only the personal data are covered by GDPR (and badly adhered to if at all wrt EU-US data transfers), you can't argue that because something contains personal data that is subject to compliance the rest will 'automatically' follow suit. There are other demands being made of non-personal data in the DA than the GDPR makes of personal data, because they are different types of data. The logic here strikes me as malintentioned.

Again, that was the point. The point is not unfettered data exchange. and there's no real uncertainty: there's no legal basis currently for EU personal data transfers to the US imo.

Some MS, incl NL favour deleting this chapter entirely. Current proposal doesn't change anything for e.g. NSO's, except for the possibility of demanding data from companies outside your own borders (e.g. concerning flooding/river systems, supply chain disruption etc.). If this chapter is to be made impactful it should likely allow a wider set of conditions for B2G data flows, not a more stringent (the starting point after all is currently no conditions to be able to demand B2G data flows, except for e.g. NSO laws) Vgl [[Chapter 5 of the Data Act – Which should be the legal basis for B2G data sharing “exceptional need” or “public interest” 20220830140233]]

protection against development of competing products/services? Entrenched market forces want to stay put you mean? You don't say. They are right of course, that DA's PSD2-for-all obligations lowers the threshold for market entry to new players. Which is the point of it.

Data being locked into products that cannot function without them is 'unfair competition' already. The DA proposes PSD2-for-everything and enables adversarial interoperability, which is encouraging fairer competition. It is an extension of the demands made of service providers in the DMA/DSA to IoT/connected product providers.

across-the-board / horizontal is the point of the entire digital/data legal framework the EU is drafting. Voluntary efforts have no discernable impact afaict in any industry. Moreover calling for voluntary efforts is usually meant to postpone legislative action. We've had 20+ yrs of postponement, now there's legislative action.

Places DMA and general EU competition policy in (German) ordoliberalism. Might be an interesting discussion v-a-v 'stifling innovation' charges from neoliberal BigTech noises. I read DMA as very much focused on level playing field. Needs to be read together with the DSA (and AIR) to better see those contours I suppose. So wondering about if this paper looks at DMA insularly or within the context of the entire EU geopolitical proposition that is currently begin created with the legal framework around digital/data (DMA, DSA, AIR, DGA, DA, GDPR, ODD)

Self assessment Vgl [[Self Pni 20141228171006]]

Rest self care rated less meaningful. Vgl [[Rest by Alex Soojung-Kim Pang]] and eg Covey's 7th.

Data is available, Nathan Yau made the graph from raw data.

I wonder about the self assessment as meaningful. Meaningful to themselves or meaningful they'd expect others to perceive it as. Rest might be important, but watching tv generally seen as not meaningfull. The activity might be seen as meaningless but the purpose might be nonetheless meaningful. This is not a straightforward evaluation to make. Wonder about the actual questions asked, and how it might impact data.

Things that matter are a combination of things of interest plus sphere of influence/action radius. This can bring macro issues into a place where they can be addressed by micro actions that have meaning locally and contribute to the issue at scale. Contributes to the invisible hand of networks. Vgl [[Invisible hand of networks 20180616115141]]

In general w small things the presumption is that they're stand alone. Small things can have meaningfull settings around them, which make a small things contribute to compounding impact.

Cathedral building or its more practical and common relative barn raising are expressions of communal effort, and a monument to a community's value/coherence. What a community creates for communal use can be proxy for its meaning. It's a result from community feeding back into community. I've also used the metaphor of mushrooms on mycelium (also comparing orgs to mushrooms)

A process has its own value, is its own intervention. Esp in complex enviro where outcomes are unplannable, rather are observed and then attenuated or amplified. [[Waarde van proces versus uitkomst 20031208161249]] If a result does not embody the values of the process, or the process does not hold the values intended in the result it demeans both.

Cornel West, US philosopher / activisti https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cornel_West Full quote: "Justice is what love looks like in public. Tenderness is what love looks like in private." Justice as an expression of love, to make manifest that you include all within humanity. It seems in some YT clips it's also a call to introduce more tenderness into systems. Sounds like a [[Multidimensionaal gaan ipv platslaan 20200826121720]] variant, of even better a [[Macroscope 20090702120700]] in the sense of [[Macroscope for new civil society 20181105203829]] where just systems surround tender interactions.

"Social infrastructure is what love looks like in public" Social infrastructure is an expression of community/communal values, and an active intervention in bringing about that community and building those communal values. Result and intervention. In community building you can use this, create the intervention and people will treat it as a result (and thus act within that community as member), Vgl [[Community building 20100210214508]] Wenger et al. I realise I never made a Notion about 'cathedral building' as a testament to community created / strength https://www.zylstra.org/blog/2010/05/working_on_stuf/ . Social infrastructure is a form of 'cathedral building', or more modest 'barn raising', where the process is a community intervention and expression, and the result feeds back into that.

Providing agency is rewarding in itself.

Libraries are community centers, public infrastructure. Vgl the networked agency work with Fers regional libraries in Fryslan "Impact Through Connection" https://www.zylstra.org/blog/2017/03/more-fun-than-annual-class-trip-making-at-school-some-first-observations/

Direct gratitude from library readers vs impact of organisational work in the face of climate urgency seems an asymmetrical comparison. Recognisable though. Perhaps 'bullshit job' feelings come from working immersed in bureaucratic/process logic while aiming to change it, whereas the joy comes from being immersed in human logic of work ('the high of...'). Vgl. [[Logica van bureaucratie vs mensen 20220813074112]] Does this help me [[Het Reboot gevoel vaker hebben 20161023145654]]? Phrasing it as injecting human logic into a place where process logic is otherwise dominant?

Room scan by proctoring tools violates protection against unreasonable searches Ohio court rules (US const 4th amendment) Univ defense was 'it's standard industry practice' and 'others did not complain'. In other words no actual moral consideration was made by univ. This is so bad, even without the fact that a third party keeps the recording of the video scan of this student's bedroom.

Where there's a need for remote test taking, why try to copy over the cheating controls from in-person test taking? How about adapting the test content on the assumption that students will have material available to them during the test, reducing the proctoring need to only assuring the actual student is taking the test.

Author posits ZK is for writing, Milo's type of stuff not aimed at output but at 'progressing' in multiple ways. I'd assumed that would be clear to all. Any (p)km is geared towards action, or at least towards increased ability to act. It's rarely the aimed for ability is just academic written output. My pkm has always contained a 'get stuff done' component as well as a 'conceptual stuff' component. My ZK so you will is a trio (Notions, Notes, Ideas) of folders of networked elements inside a more hierarchically oriented larger set of folders (GTD like) to keep moving forward on everything I'm involved in. I've at times wondered what Luhmann did to manage his academic work, in terms of notes. Is there another kartei somewhere? It's one thing to write a lot, another to get it published / organise academic life.

Content addressing is when a piece of content has its own permanent address, a URI. Many copies may exist of the content, hosted by many in the network, all copies have the same address. Whoever is best situated to serve you a copy, does so. It makes the servers interchangeable. My blogposts have a canonical fixed address, but it's tied to a specific domain and only found on 1 server (except when using a CDN).

IPFS starts from content addressing.

Content addressing, assuming the intention 'protocol for thought' here, does match with atomic notes type of pkm systems. All my notes have unique names that could as human readable names map to CIDs. CIDs do change when the content changes, so there's a mismatch with the concept of 'permanent notes' that are permanent in name/location yet have slowly evolving content.

This does not make sense to me. If everything is CIDs you can't take anything with you at all ever, like you can't take the space that you take up with you. Things are only trapped in silos because there's only one copy of it, and you don't have control over that single copy. That's why credible exit is important. You could do that by only creating/using apps that have proper data export, and let that be known to all your vendors (or wait for the EU-DSA and DA to kick in and get exported to enforce that for you) With CIDS there's nothing to take because it wasn't ever on 'a' server.

Makes no sense to me, CIDs with interchangeable servers make ownership meaningless when it comes to the creator of some content. It means holders of servers the stuff passed through are the ones 'owning' it in the sense of perhaps retaining a copy. You've put it in the attic remember? Except it's someonelse's attic. Unless all this stuff is encrypted and you need my key in your addressbook to see it, and I can revoke a key. But then there's no attic and no noosphere. It's either ownership or it's the attic, they're exlcusionary in this set-up afaict.

I get the keys and trust part, but not how that is going to help the noosphere. Trust now anchored to domains, yes, not just technically but socially as well. Anything that has FB as its domain e.g. goes into the 'untrustworthy' bin. UCN removes trust from a domain to the person signing. That's fine if I know someone well enough to have a pet name for it on my phone/network. But not if it's some random person on the internet. I assume someone's access and participation in the noosphere isn't meant to be limited to people I have in my pet name list in my phone book, and that I can see stuff by many other people outside my network (if not I can tell you where the next centralisation will be with certainty) Then 'this was properly signed by -random person-' is meaningless, Unless I can trace back what else that random person has shared, what people thought about it, the persons general reputation etc. Meaning we're back at the social level where this tech doesn't help us.

How's this reasoning different from the complaints about all the crap being kept alive in data centers to the detriment of the environment. Just to increase the probability that something of value might be found and recognised over time? The noosphere is here reduced to finding a Picasso or some silver bullet for a global issue in an attic / on some dusty hard disk with content addressing? The point of attics in homes is not to aid future discovery of interesting artefacts, although every now and then it may occur, the point of attics is as a holding space for crap you can't quite get yourself to throw away yet because you're still emotionally somehow attached (or remember what you paid for it and feel shame in the wast of money you now think it was), so you let your children/grand children throw it out. Let's not build more attics for digital residue, let's do away with attics. /rant

Yes, centralisation again. Compare to Mastodon where there's no long tail, most of everybody on 2 or 3 servers. So all of this infra effort and content addressing, and then people will only keep the dross alive they watch on media now. "Incentives will be important" I thought the entire infra was meant to create that effect. This is I think the core of my hesitation: proposing a tech fix for something, i.e. content curation, that already plays out on an entirely different plane than said tech, and thus will be ineffective.

this distinction between K-selected and r-selected esp those images make sense to me. Weeds and trees both depend on their roots and surrounding ecosystem. Chop down a tree the ecosystem goes, cut down a weed it wil grow another shoot. Back to mycelium with mushrooms on top).

That link talks about an r-type space for software dev, which reminds me of a SF book I can't now find back, where some org has a lab where AI runs science dev experiments building ever on top of each other, with frequent patented releases of the result allowing open and free use, and uses this to outcompete corporate efforts while creating an enormous boost in innovation where all build on that.

Brander says same-origin makes centralisation mandatory. Because 1) trust, data trapped in services, and infra are tied to domains, 2) SOP makes those domains points of centralisation. I don't understand the necessity of that outcome Brander posits. Ad 1) Yes, domains are nodes of coalescence. They're not scarce though, maybe not everyone can get their preferred one, and there's a theoretical limit, but not scarce. Harder to arrange, because registering presupposes things like banking/credit cards, and it isn't permissionless in many places. So we put our stuff on someone else's domain, a silo. So are we talking about the hurdle of getting a domain really? Same is true for infra, running your own hosting is doable, and it is more permissionless than getting a domain. Again it may be too high a threshold for many. So it's a [[Technologie kleiner dan ons 20160818122905]] issue rather than centralisation, the centralisation is not unavoidable but a likely outcome because of that tech threshold.

Ad 2) SOP is something enforced in browsers/apps, it's not controlled by the domains you visit, right? There's an attack surface of course if you disable (parts of) it. I disable SOP to make this annotation for instance. It moves the trust question though when you disable SOP selectively.

This reduces the hazard rate for content loss. (See Lindy effect above) It also however erodes data ownership/control doesn't it? As long as there's a copy of something I said out there, I have no power of retraction as such. Not that I practically have it now, but more at least. Most thoughts in the noosphere will be incomplete, half formed, wrong, temporarily of interest and highly contextual, and not unique. Most of my notes are explratory and vulnerable. How does that match with content in the noosphere 'forever' floating around.

credible exit is used to describe that data export / leaving an app provides you with smooth enough ways to do so. Usable exports, that can be updated as you keep using an app e.g. Author talks about Lindy-formats, useful term , vgl [[The Lindy Effect 20201228194100]] en [[Lindy effect buiten tijdsdimensie 20201229115037]]

Systems will centralise one step up from where it's decentralised. Interesting. My intuition is a bit 'softer' it's a rule of thumb for coalescence. Things might coalesce out of different needs/circumstances. The type of centralisation intended here, if it's about the silo's there's a external driver, that the easiest business models are found in centralisation as it creates asymmetric power for the centraliser. It's not a necessary outcome of the underlying distributedness, but something that others might need using that distributedness. If centrliasation isn't possible or allowed at some layer, it may well force external drivers for centralisation one layer up. Organisations as well as CoPs are mushrooms on the mycelium of human networks. Now that capital, location and finding colleagues can be done distributedly those mushrooms aren't always needed, and we see other types of mushrooms coalesce alongside classic organisations. Something like that?

We grab our phones when tired or bored at work. But it seems to make us more tired and more bored. Does the same apply for internetbrowsing before mobile?

Noosphere was presented at the Render conf on tools for thought. There's overlap with Boris' work on IPFS, judging by his tweets he's involved in this effort too.

This Noosphere Explainer explains the tech used, not the 'massive-multiplayer knowledge graph' it is posited to be, how that would come about with this tech, or what that is meant to be for.

it's about 1% of a day, not a person's perceived day.

Anno is a public benefit corporation to house the hypothes.is mission set up to allow investment. Anno attracted 14M including 2M5 from JSTOR. JSTOR imo is of dubious moral nature wrt OA, public domain, and particularly ending the chokehold of publishers on distribution of scholalry works, inverting their centuries old mission of making distribution possible. Source of funding impacts the course of what is funded towards the character of the funders.

h. in 2022 has over 1 million users, who made nearly 40 million annotations. Early this year 2 million annotated articles/sites was reached (2175298 is the number the API rerurns today). This sounds like a lot but on its face works out to an average of 40 annotations on 2 articles per user. This suggests to me the mode is 1 annotation on 1 article per user. How many of those 1 million were active last week / month?

Dave Rogers makes the points that 1) focusing on tools is often a distraction. 2) behaviour such as walk,shower, rest are also 'tools' to aid thinking.

2003 article. The ca.1550-1700 at the end caught me off guard at first. See my 2004/2003 remark we've been offloading info to our environment since always, and similarly complaining about the amount of it. This paper case in point.

Annotating this in Chrome, my firefox add-on does not load the sidebar for this paper. I hate Chrome, had to install it. Will de-install soon again. Probably better to learn to use the API properly to share annotations, or run my own instance and push from there?

Doug Engelbart used acronym HLAMT wrt augmenting human intelligence: Humans using Language, Artifacts, Methodology, Training. Our artifacts are much more powerful now, language, methodology and training still need to catch up. Rheingold says we're on the verge of that.

Second thought: the A and M roughly map to tech and methods in my networked agency image as design aid. Think about netag in context of Engelbart's basic vision to elicit some more thoughts.

Rheingold in the context of this interview really doesn't say anything forward looking wrt internet in this section. The interviewer doesn't go after it, seems to hurry on. Maybe because they spent too much time on the previous sections of the interview? If Rheingold is working on something, this doesn't sound like it. He says he thinks his Net Smart solution of teaching fell flat. General literacy took generations, so 10 yrs too short? Concerned we all are.

What can one do complexity-style stimulating desired capabilities, attenuating the undesirable ones? More like this, less like that stuff. At a personal level that may be clear (if one pays attention to it personally, see above), at group level, society level? Btw esp adtech platforms are not symmetrical in their amplification. They lift the mentioned pirate boats, but not the hospital boats. By design. Control over parameters for amplification in ones own info may be one.

Eno talked about music and arts mostly. Here Rheingold connects it to tech wrt Xerox PARC in 70s. Also see Kevin Kelly in [[Scenius, or Communal Genius 20211022180225]] I see this as networkd creativity related to networked agency [[Scenius als networked creativiteit 20211023145641]] Reboot conferences fed into this [[Het Reboot gevoel vaker hebben 20161023145654]] Salons maybe proto-stages of scenius / cells in them [[Salons organiseren 20201216205547]].

again I miss the notion of self-hosted wikis (Tiddly e.g., I used wakka/wikkawiki as pkm tool 2004-2008 as well as on my website. (I now see wikkawiki was discontinued in 2020)

This was my main desktop interface from 1997-2004. Like my current PKM set-up is now the way I start interfacing with my laptop each day.

hypertext pkm systems, and then not mentioning personal wikis?

Also Tinderbox has been around since 2002 (I first encountered it at BlogTalk 2004 where Mark Bernstein attended, used it since 2007 when I switched to Mac when I went independent and ditched corporate laptop). Tinderbox is its own PKM tool and aimed at creating hypertexts itself. Named my PKM set-up after one of the early (1987) hypertext novels published by Bernstein).

Just mentioned in passing. To me this is a key one, especially as networks is where the human and digital fully overlap / become the same. Humans are intuitively good at networks of humans, digital networks present the same structures over which those people interact with their human networks. [[Menselijk en digitaal netwerk zijn gelijksoortig 20200810142551]] It's where the potential of distributedness is at, as well as the unit of agency, human digital networks. Should better detail this, as it is key in my [[Networked Agency 20160818213155]]

The networked bit can strengthen the other 4 literacies, if projected onto them. E.g. my infostrats, based on social filtering, help determine signal, show what's going on in different areas, help decide what warrants attention etc.

and then those same people went on to create silos and actively work to de-emancipate the edges.

Howard et al keep a running list of 'crap detection tools' at https://docs.google.com/document/d/163G79vq-mFWjIqMb9AzYGbr5Y8YMGcpbSzJRutO8tpw/edit ref'd in [[Crap detection is civic duty 2018010073052]]

attention as mindfulness, and as a muscle to train.

Reminds me of my 2008/2010 projects in primary schools on this. I find myself explaining marketing ploys to our 6yo in response to material she sees in print, on billboards, and online. Perhaps I should be doing that more consistently

There's little training on reflecting and shaping how you wield your attention. Are there resources to be found, wrt workflows / choices / being mindfull of one's attention? Beyond the 'indistractable' material of Nir?

The exclusionary aspect of attention makes it a scarce resource [[Aandacht is het schaarst 20201013163120]] implying the need to wield it with intent [[Stuur aandacht met intentie 20220213080032]] or it becomes distraction again. It's a moral choice [[Aandacht is een morele keuze 20201217074345]] even. Making such training/understanding important.

This is, like some of his Stanford in-class attention experiments, a bit geared towards switching on/offline it seems. There's much to be said also about wielding attention within the digital space (see Pegrum/Palalas digital disarray above), and attention as it plays out in the interweaving of the digital and physical (like having information resources available within a conversation).

Aandacht als fundament onder zowel denken als communiceren.

Pegrum/Palalas 2021 talk about attention literacy as needed to counteract 'digital disarray'. They also call it a macro-literacy, encompassing a long list of 'digital literacies' which are more skills than literacy in the Rheingoldia sense. Bit of term inflation? Does put attention at the top of the heap of digital 'literacies' though. They also do incorporate relationships to others and the informational environment within scope of it a la Rheingold.

Rheingold perceives literacy as skill within community. A skill that comes into its own if there's a community of skilled people, a social practice. He may have adopted it from Paulo Freire who put reading/writing skills interwoven with reading/writing the world (mentioned in Kalir/Garcia's Annotation too). Do I see that community aspect, the social practice aspects in the 5 literacies he lists from Net Smart?

1. Attention [[Aandacht als geletterdheid 20201117203910]]
2. Participation
3. Collaboration
4. Network awareness
5. Crap detection, or 'Critical consumption' in polite company (I have it as : [[Crap detection is civic duty 2018010073052]]

skill vs social practice leading to increase of the quality of the commons. Personal relative advancement in current sitrep and/or lifting the entire floor.

Bias towards researching tangible things needs time to be overcome, it's also a gear shift to higher level of complexity in viewpoint. Compare to my searches in my fav topics list, where does this apply / potential hardening of focus?

Ideas ahead of their time in the mainstream (not in the niches). Compare to Lernout and Hauspie wrt early natural language processing 1987-1998 and GPT-3 now.

The hardware development path was visible, but at the time still limiting potential spread/adoption.

1968 calling. Chemicals as blunt tool, electronics as potential finer tool. Reminds me of a dinnerconversation with Howard and Judy where someone else, much younger, praised LSD as potential mind expanding tool. J said "You wouldn't say that if like me you'd had spent the late 60s puking your guts out in the bathroom all the time". Bluntness of the chemical tool explained :D

Not just a category these days, also a 1985 book title by Howard. (html version of that book http://www.rheingold.com/texts/tft/ )

'History of stuff' not being seen is a recurring pattern. e.g. wrt Luhmann vs commonplacing, in the Roam/Obsidian wave e.g. wrt open data around 2010 when there was little realisation of efforts by re-users to get to the PSI Directive, only the new wave of coders using the fact it existed.

It's also a repeating pattern in generations. Open Space and unconferencing e.g. needs to be retaught with every new wave of people. The open web of two decades ago needs to be explained to those now starting their professional work using online tools.

Spaced repetition for groups/society?

In order to expand understanding what one is actually doing / building on.

Doet me denken aan die '90s exchange student die me ooit vroeg of ik geschiedenis studeerde ipv elektro: ik legde bij alles ook het ontwikkelingspad uit.

Mutational meltdown happens in a population of animals if their number is so low that negative mutations and deletions in their DNA accumulate.

Rule of thumb: 500 minimum viable population, 1k minimum to prevent negative genetic trends (inbreeding).

Is a similar rule of thumb thinkable for communities of practice in terms of maintaining the community itself, and in terms of keeping it varied / valuable enough on all [[Community building 20100210214508]] aspects Wenger et al list?

Body and environment are commonly ignored in modeling of the brain to understand its working. Example of sub-system / system / supra-system perception levels not being taken into account simultaneously, compare [[Triz denken in systeemniveaus 20200826114731]], and the corresponding switches wrt where the complexity is [[De locus van Complexiteit 20040513173600]]. Similar to [[Disruption Theory is Real, but Wrong 20191014111801]] where the disruption can manifest on a different level than the players in the scene being disrupted and causing the disruption.

Greedy reductionism, beyond the point where it still provides new agency or insight, is a consistent risk. Consciousness, economics. Perhpas make a list of examples where this happened in different fields and the impact of it? Should be a bunch in my notes.

I am moving away from content types altogether, making them all just regular posts. I style them all the same anyway. Their type is apparent from their content and the microformats in them. Author had content categories to represent content types, which produces no navigational or discovery value imo.

Itineraries as content type. I have some check-ins on my site (dubbed Plazes after that early app), and deeply miss Dopplr (even as travel stalled early 2020 due to the pandemic, and I don't know if travel will return in the same way to my life, given climate impact and surge in online collab). Can I envision Itineraries on my site as content type? Dopplr kept that within a trusted network, how do I do that on my site? Where would the type of coincidental meet-ups come from that made Dopplr so immensely valuable.

not the entire internet I think? The playground provides only English answers, the examples I've asked the script of certain things had a singular focus on US examples. And when discussing a popular book that is only available in Dutch it clearly has no actual information to work with, despite the script first boasting that it studied Dutch literature in Amsterdam in the 2000's :D GPT-3's Playground is anglo-centric at least.

did that. Playing with it is highly fascinating. Saving some conversations as examples.

that sounds like a useful analogy. Prompting like you are the algo's improv partner. The flipside seems to be the impact the author himself is after: being prompted along new lines of inquiry, making the script your improv partner in return.

The need to be aware that GPT-3 is a text generation tool, not an accurate search engine. However being factually correct is not a prerequisite of experiencing surprisal. The author uses the tool to open up new lines of thought, so his prompt engineering in a way is aimed at being prompted himself. This is reminiscent of how Luhmann talks about communicating with his index cards: the need for factuality does not reside with the card, meaning is (re)constructed in the act of communication. The locus of meaning is the conversation, the impact it has on oneself, less the content, it seems.

The essay gives various examples of usage: legal advice medical diagnosis nanny to talk to your kid a research assistant, prompting it for surprisal basically to come up with lines of inquiry an questions let the algo impersonate someone and run ideas by that impersonation let the algo impersonate opposing debate partners list possible counterarguments draw analogies between knowledge domains

Doug Engelbart overtones

GPT-3 is a way to approach the information on the internet, an interface for the internet. This I associate with the aspects of distributedness: apps are dataviewers (like Obsidian.md is), interfaces are queries on that data.

This phrasing imo instrumentalises those fascinating people you find. Interesting stuff is a byproduct of interacting with those fascinating people, a result from fascinating conversation, a residue of the construct you've built together in conversation.

I take to the term prompt engineering. Designing prompts is important in narrative research, just as much as in AI, and in e.g. workshop settings. It's definitely a skill. Conversational prompts describes blog posts too.

The author took time over a period of 5 months to put this essay together. That's impressive, in terms of effort put in and in terms of tenacity. How much of this time is to 'hold questions' as Johnnie Moore would say, to develop your thoughts iteratively. Could it have been done in index cards, under the radar, with the essay then a smaller effort, reduced to collating those index cards?
