THIS PROPHET'S FORETELLING MAY OR MAY NOT BE ACCURATE. NO REFUNDS WILL BE OFFERED FOR INACCURATE PROPHECIES.
WOULD YOU DESTROY A BETTER WORLD TO SAVE THIS ONE?
TO GO STILL FURTHER ... IN THE MOVEMENT OF THE MARKET ... FOR PERHAPS THE FLOWS ARE NOT YET DETERRITORIALIZED ENOUGH, NOT DECODED ENOUGH ... NOT TO WITHDRAW FROM THE PROCESS, BUT TO GO FURTHER, TO "ACCELERATE THE PROCESS" ... THE TRUTH IS THAT WE HAVEN'T SEEN ANYTHING YET.
I SWEAR BY MY LIFE AND MY LOVE OF IT THAT I WILL NEVER LIVE FOR THE SAKE OF ANOTHER MAN, NOR ASK ANOTHER MAN TO LIVE FOR MINE.
EVERY MAN IS FREE TO DO THAT WHICH HE WILLS, PROVIDED HE INFRINGES NOT THE EQUAL LIBERTY OF ANY OTHER MAN.
IN ITS COLDER VARIANTS, WHICH ARE THOSE THAT WIN OUT, ACCELERATIONISM TENDS TO LAUGH.
WE WILL ENJOY OUR ALIENATION

To briefly explain the structure of this blog: this is a nearly direct export of my Zettelkasten knowledge system. I call the hypertext nodes here thoughts instead of "posts," "pages," "articles," or "essays" because they represent a concrete link to my thoughts on a given subject, but are also of necessity always partial, incomplete, and subject to change, unlike an essay or a post, which is often meant to be a snapshot of someone's thoughts at a particular time, and usually meant to be at least somewhat standalone, or at least to stand alone when anything it links to is included.
Thoughts are not like this. They can be changed, rewritten, and edited over time — to erase mistakes or represent my changing views — but can also remain stagnant and unedited as I move on to thinking more actively about other things — whether unrelated, or specific related subtopics — and my views change but I haven't had time to go back and edit them.
Thus, if you want to get a more complete and up to date understanding of my views on a topic, look at a whole thought page, not just an individual thought: like any brain, my public second brain is a constantly changing, evolving web of beliefs which is moved forward precisely by the tensions between various parts of it, forcing it to move in one direction or another.

- The freedom to run the program as you wish, for any purpose (freedom 0).
- The freedom to study how the program works, and change it so it does your computing as you wish (freedom 1). Access to the source code is a precondition for this.
- The freedom to redistribute copies so you can help others (freedom 2).
- The freedom to distribute copies of your modified versions to others (freedom 3). By doing this you can give the whole community a chance to benefit from your cha
There has been a lot of controversy around large language models lately.
Fundamental limitations
In my opinion, they have fundamental flaws that mean that you can't use them for many of the things people are claiming you can use them for, such as obtaining factual information, programming, or writing things for you. This becomes clear if if you look at how large language models actually work:
- they
If your primary job, hobby, or both involves typing, you need an ergonomic keyboard. Period.
Traditional keyboards were not designed with humane ergonomics in mind. They were designed around the technical constraints of 19th century typewriters, and then that layout was ported forward and forward until we've now ended up with a miniature version of it on our damn smartphones. There are many inherent design flaws in the traditional keyboard,
The XBows Knight Plus that I am typing this on right now is quite possibly the best single purchase I have ever made in my entire life, hands down. In this review I'll catalog the things I like about it, the things that could be improved but are generally fine, and the things that I don't like about it.
Disclosure
I did pick up my XBows Knight on eBay for $75

In my opinion, I think it's really kind of for three interlocking reasons.
The first is that The Left has increasingly become the politics of /ressentiment, with very few exceptions. This is not inherent to many of the projects of the Left, but it's inescapable in Leftist culture as a whole. "Leftism" is a system of morality and values constructed by the w
