  • To be able to quiz your own external memory (what is a library but external memory assembled by you and me?) in an interactive way could turn out to be the currently largest application of #morphologicalboxes after #Zwickly. #asca

  • So this got me thinking back in #2022 to actually wait until the early adopters of #ai provided enough #QA and feedback that the products can mature enough for real use cases.
    The end game for me is to run a local #llm for my digital #library, basically twinning myself #asca

  • I had this moment—while writing my thesis—of feeling both like an embodied idea looking for its own building blocks in paragraphs and sentences spread across several books by several authors, and a medium for books to talk to each other to make something new. It changed me. #asca

  • I have a rather large digital library due to my alma mater, so I want to look into #AI for creating a new meta for me. First, books came with tables of content, then with indices.

    Maybe turning these books into tables in a database is on par for this kind of helpfulness? #asca

  • You do whatever the fuck you want, and you donʼt give naming it a second thought.

    And then you move on. To the next thing, or you drop out because you did whatever you wanted, and now you donʼt because you want it that way too.

    The people who want to be a painter, a singer, a whatever it is called, they are just following in someone elseʼs footsteps, and oh boy, is there an industry for that.

    Do whatever the fuck you want. You will be the best at it because youʼre the only one who does it.

    There is nothing else.

    Image description: a tweet by divinelydaria.

    saw an inspiring video that said you need to have 4 hobbies.

    create, consume, cavort, commune

    create: bring something to life
    consume: appreciate the art of another
    cavort: move your body daily
    commune: have a community to socialize with

    end image description.

    I think you need hobbies that do all four things but the number of hobbies needed to cover all these needs may vary. Some hobbies pull double/triple duty. Some hobbies can cause repetitive stress injuries so it’s good to have a few different ones that fulfill the same need so you can rotate to get the fulfillment without the carpal tunnel.

    Tumblr really is aging.

    This is true tho.

    I still think about putting together a master list for visual arts and how to work with less damage to ourselves.

    Posture, mark economy, handling, lighting, and so on.

    Iʼve written down a few notes here and there, but I think I should put it all together, old-school curating links and brief explanations for the linkd.

  • „The idea of a “virtual reality” such as the Metaverse is by now widespread in the computer-graphics community and is being implemented in a number of different ways. The particular vision of the Metaverse as expressed in this novel originated from idle discussion between me and Jaime (Captain Bandwidth) Taaffe—which does not imply that blame for any of the unrealistic or tawdry aspects of the Metaverse should be placed on anyone but me. The words “avatar” (in the sense used here) and “Metaverse” are my inventions, which I came up with when I decided that existing words (such as “virtual reality”) were simply too awkward to use.
    In thinking about how the Metaverse might be constructed, I was influenced by the Apple Human Interface Guidelines, which is a book that explains the philosophy behind the Macintosh. Again, this point is made only to acknowledge the beneficial influence of the people who compiled said document, not to link these poor innocents with its results.“
