idk should we just leave the back open, view is pretty gr8

lots of steganography in the desert because we are all looking for an oasis there is a nice meditation point at the top of Anderson Overlook outside Los Alamos. Petroglyphs from the heroes of the manhattan project, or even earlier relics from the ranch school boys that preceded them

defending our attention is defending our capacity for self-determination. if we can’t focus, we can’t think clearly, and if we can’t think clearly, we can’t govern ourselves or pursue meaningful goals.

a miracle is an ingression of a higher level agency. maybe on occasion to persuade. such a synchronicity makes it impossible to look away and implies you should move in that direction

the only questions that matter from a risk perspective are: 1) how much can i outcompete interest in value per unit time and 2) how much more expensive is inflation going to make what i want over the time period i am acting in? subtract answer 2 from 1 to adjust risk assessment accordingly

happy Halloween

I’ve carried a notebook on me at all times for 10 years. Knowing this- a close friend got me one of those ai pendents that life logs everything. Been using it for a few days now and despite initial skepticism- actually really like it. I get a daily transcript of everything with an option to keep audio. All the major LLMs are integrated so am then able to ask questions using this data as context, eg: What book did Stephen recommend over lunch? What was the name of the software David mentioned? It also automatically generates a list of To Dos from the day’s log which has been surprisingly helpful. This specific one(Limitless) also has an open api with model context protocols so you can build custom workflows off of transcripts. Going to spend some time trying things with this. Data security is a huge question. I have been cognizant to let people know I am wearing it during some meetings and this doesn’t seem to affect transparency of conversations however I notice I am self reflecting more which is a down side. All in all not sure if this pattern will stick but going to keep playing with it.
