If it’s too risky I’d assume the company would have enough money to not have to resort to building hackintoshes

I forget if there’s a better way to describe it but usually if there’s going to be a failure, it’ll be at the beginning (unless you’re constantly updating software which does have some risk)

I hadn’t considered this at all mainly because I haven’t heard of apple taking legal actions against people promoting hackintosh related things and methods. Though I guess it could become a problem for a company.

You could build a hackintosh instead. Pain to get software set up just right but when it is it works great.

What do you mean by text analysis?

Larry Sanger (wikipedia creator) is working on the encyclophere: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Esw3gXK82Y Description from that video: Shorter video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8PrWG... The Encyclosphere will be a decentralized, leaderless, centerless network of encyclopedic content, which does for encyclopedias what the Blogosphere did for blogs. But to make such a network, we need encyclopedia format standards. Wikipedia ex-founder Larry Sanger is starting the Knowledge Standards Foundation to convene a discussion and coding efforts to creating such standards.

Do you have any links on what you mentioned about the "rule of simple explanations"? It seems like a useful mental model.

Better to post them than have unsubstantiated claims.

Was gonna say exactly this. Doing something small and actually accomplishing makes a huge difference because it tells your brain I am capable of doing things. From there it becomes easier to slowly raise the bar of what your brain thinks is doable and thus things that you'll psychologically be able to go ahead and do.

It's really important also to make sure you don't aim for things that are too hard and fail too often. A bit of failure is okay but if your ratio of failure to success too low you'll lose self confidence and it becomes harder to get into a sort of "flow" of progress.

Do you have proof of your claims?

How does your zettlekasten system work?

Probably the spaced repetition application SuperMemo [1]. Beyond normal SRS like anki it has a feature called incremental reading [2] which makes studying at least 3 times as easy for me. I have ADHD so IR helps a lot by taking care of 90% of the complexity of (managing) studying so that I can just focus on what's in front of me.

Ironically I'm using Mac over Linux because I want to use parallels to run a windows application that I must use. I tried using VMware for a while but it drove me insane that everytime I switched workspaces it would exit fullscreen.

Have you tried building one before? I built mine for the first time in February with 0 prior experience with such things and followed this guide: https://hackintosh.gitbook.io/-r-hackintosh-vanilla-desktop-... If you're doing a config with a motherboard that's well used you can generally find the right configs to use. If you're using something not often used, you'll have trouble with the initial setup but once you get over that initial setup trouble in my experience everything will work and stay fine.

There are also lots of helpful people in the /r/hackintosh subreddit and discord if you run into troubles.

I was debating between building a hackintosh and buying the new MacBook pro and I can say 100% it was worth it.

hackintosh's aren't all that hard to build

Is there some guide to that you recommend/have you considered writing one? I've been thinking of doing e-ink display + rasberry pi but your approach sounds cheaper and likely better for the environment.

Have you tried Notion? I recently started using it to manage prioritized tasklists (though not calendar, I usually just make a plan the day before). Cramming too much in seems problematic from a deep work stand point, best to be able to focus on one thing at once

Saw that recently as well, this post made me more hopeful I'd be able to put something together to work with it.

I've been thinking of something similar, I have a tasklist system prioritized and sorted by value/time (in Notion), would be nice to use one of these e-ink displays to display top few tasks so if I have some free time I can immediately know what to do.

Does it not work with standard NFC libraries?

Surprised to see they're launching Yahoo Mobile in the west but there actually already is a ymobile in Japan that I personally use for data/calling. I use my own phone with it but I can't imagine them being able to set yahoo as default on any iphone or android phone they sell

I’d love being able to do that too but imagine if both of us had that same power. If we both have no prior experience with each other, it would either be wonderful (if both of us really have nothing we want to hide) or horrible (because instead of overthinking what the other person is thinking we’ll have to think about what we respectively think).

What he mentions about people being superficially nice to allow for more selectiveness is very interesting. I think it’s hard to say that being direct from the get go about interest is ideal beyond that reason alone because friendship with people is something you build, not something you immediately just know you’ll have when you meet someone. If you don’t feign interest in the beginning you’ll miss out on all the people who you could have become good friends with only after a certain level of closeness.

While feigning interest causes people to second guess themselves, I think being direct could also do the same. If I know someone I’ve just met will tell me they don’t like me if I don’t give them a good impression I’ll be constantly trying to please them. Though I guess if you’re also trying to be highly direct things become even more complicated.

It seems like there are far more social dimensions to this than I’d first thought.

That doesn't seem like enough, do you use an alarm clock?

I think there are much worse issues than just the wildlife trade. I think long-term we're gonna have a lot of issues with antibiotic resistance diseases as a result of overuse in the meat industry [1].

On linux you can use SM via vmware/wine and on os x it's quite usable with parallels. If you're using SRS just for language learning then being able to use on mobile can be helpful but I think for those cases supermemo.com can be a decent alternative. More generally, I think the platform specificness of SuperMemo is more than made up for with its incremental reading functionality (alongside better scheduling algorithm)

yep, it's based off the first supermemo algorithm, SM2

I would check out r/GetMotivatedBuddies (https://www.reddit.com/r/GetMotivatedBuddies/). Committing to something and being held accountable to someone other than yourself helps a lot. https://www.stickk.com/ might also be helpful for you.

The power of knowing things comes largely from the associative characteristics of knowledge. Having 2 facts on the net and 2 facts in your brain are entirely different. You can't create much with 2 facts in the net while 2 facts in your brain can be used to create so much. Even if you constantly look up whatever you want to use on an as needed basis, you'd run into working memory limits.

Can't reply to child for some reason but the reason that SM is so great for managing content is a feature called incremental reading (https://supermemo.guru/wiki/Incremental_reading). To sum it poorly, it lets you go through hundreds of articles in parallel and slowly convert them to active recall material over time. It sounds terribly complicated in practice, and learning it is indeed a pain, but once you know it there's really no way of learning more enjoyable. I can promise you that.

I don't understand how anki users are able to make cards for non-language things,I personally absolutely hate making cards while reading anything. It's hard to explain the exact process but incremental reading by contrast makes it much easier to take what's really important from an article and make cards from it.
