This is really helpful, thanks!
I think I need more practice with knowing when to create a node. In the past, every single entry would look like this:
I went to [Alice] birthday party and met [Bob]. We talked about [clouds].
And that got very cumbersome. I like your suggestion of using back links to create a better summary document.
Got it, I see what you mean. Thanks for this!
I keep failing to make Zettelkasten and org-roam work for me. Do you use a single knowledge base for your whole life, with millions of tags and pages? Or should I be making separate directories for each project? Is the "daily journal" the best place to put everything, with well tagged entries?
You don't have to answer all of those!
NieR: Automata
For some reason this New Scientist cartoon lives in my head. Maybe because it challenges the way I think about the future? Or maybe it's just cute.
Thanks so much for doing this! I almost forgot to enter.
I won't be using these features, but I'm not sure there's cause for concern. The implementation seems very sensible and legitimately privacy-centric. The LLM runs locally and is meant as an very basic email proofreader. The crypto wallet is a likely an extension of the password management tech they've already developed, with transaction features that some people care about.
I can see why some people want these features, and I'm glad there are new alternatives.
Musk is gross and SpaceX has some questionable marketing claims that you've identified, but I don't see how anyone could claim that anything about the company's products are a shitshow.
Falcon 9 has radically changed the economics of the space industry, and has no competition to force lower prices.
Starship has had a very successful testing campaign, and operates within a different development paradigm than Saturn. They've shown more progress on more technology in the last year than almost any rocket ever. It won't be long before Starship has demonstrated all the capabilities you mentioned. While the price tag is large in absolute terms, it will be very cheap relative to the competition.
Dear Moon was not canceled by SpaceX, and no one who follows the industry has ever believed Musk's timelines.
I guess I'm confused, because everything I know about Starship points towards it being one of the most incredible engineering accomplishments ever. There are lots of other problems with SpaceX's leadership, environmental impact, and work culture, but aren't the products inspiring?
What a weird situation. I suppose it's nice those workarounds exist, even if they're not ideal.
Interesting! I assume it involves a smart plug and an automation script that monitors battery level?
Wow, Graphene really doesn't have charging limits?
I assume this is the discussion you referred to, and I think it broke my trust in the project.
Edit: As far as I can tell, many of the frustrating parts of that thread are from random posters and not devs. I'm still annoyed that such a basic feature is considered controversial.
Thanks for this! I've spent several dozen hours trying to get SteamVR working well on Linux, and finally gave up.
Is the Monado experience close enough to Windows to be usable? Are you aware of any major tradeoffs?
At this point I accept that Valve probably can't compete with the billions poured into the Meta Quest 3, but I'm glad they understand there's an enthusiastic audience for whatever they do next.
This makes a lot of sense! I'm going to give it another shot with these insights in mind. I think if I frame it as a future-facing tool like you describe I'll avoid a lot of my previous mistakes.
Thanks for explaining :)
