Retract the seven published columns into drafts/ and promote the 24 per-date entries split out of Notes/random.md. Bodies are verbatim; titles, subjects and slugs are new. Make publication a matter of location. Notes/Notes.11tydata.js gives anything under Notes/ permalink: false unless tagged `column`; drafts/drafts.11tydata.js renders drafts at their real permalink under `yarn dev` and excludes them from collections entirely in a build, so no template can surface one. Publishing is now `git mv drafts/<file> columns/`, and moving it back retracts it. Untagged notes were previously rendered into _site/ and deployed — including Notes/random.md, which was live at /Notes/random/.

Momentum of daily practice.
|
||||
|
||||
It's frightening to imagine a world where our basic human wants and desires are satisfied by drugs, some highly calibrated stimulation, magnetically induced neural effects, rather than the good ol' fashioned methods. Run a marathon. Climb a mountain or read a book, find religion.
|
||||
|
||||
How long would we last? If the urge to fuck and reproduce could be mollified by a pill or programming...
|
||||
|
||||
Maybe we could prescribe it for hospice care.
|
||||
|
||||
We design an interface for our users, but maybe it should be the other way around -- let the people / AI / etc. tell us what they need and how, and they can build their own clients on demand with LLM agents and what have you.
|
||||
|
||||
It's not that I'm stupider, it's that I'm feeling less secure.
|
||||
|
||||
Don't we want to push the warzone out?
|
||||
|
||||
Why keep it tucked within our walls?
|
||||
|
||||
If you want peace, do you invite war to your walls.
|
||||
|
||||
How much of the vacuum of space is just due to its hostility to existience?
|
||||
|
||||
We moved our media from denser and denser physical disks to a datacenter elsewhere. What's next? Where are the bottlenecks?
|
||||
|
||||
Capacity constraints? Datacenter can scale but only so far as the physical infrastructure exists.
|
||||
|
||||
Decentralized infra. The volley between DC and client. Let the clients do more (when there are more clients than servers).
|
||||
|
||||
Fuck it - be willing to fail.
