Yes. There are times that I'm away from computers for a month or more, would be very helpful to be able to auto-reply on FB Messenger, iMessage etc to let people know I'm not ignoring them.

Not exactly the same question, but in terms of worker productivity, growth is (and has remained) linear:

I've used as a general theory for why change in the world seems to be slowing down, since although it's stayed constant, it has slowed down on a % basis.

Fascinating. Is this problem solved for Mastodon?

Awesome. Hope there's at least a very basic commenting feature as well.

Is there (or will there be) a way to share boards to web, for non-Muse users to comment on?

It's fine if those comments don't make their way back to Muse, but some way to share a static view of a Muse board would be helpful.

Hmmm, I see how the painting action lets you select multiple connections ... maybe Alt-drag to get a more traditional selection box that makes it easier to select a bunch of cards?

oh wow, yeah. a good AR/VR mobile setup might be what it takes to get me off Macs (unless Macs get there first.)

Same on iPad

We’re also capable of kinesthetic reasoning - I often think in kind of physical metaphors. Language can’t perfectly represent these kinds of thoughts.

Can you imagine if you had her problem and found her post, and then realized she'd omitted that detail?

(Yes she tells you how to figure it out yourself)

UX feels better - Trello is faster and more lightweight than Notion.

Yeah fair. I asked a teacher once, "seems like Buddhists don't have the best record at service, should I be concerned about that?" and he just replied "yes."

That said, I wouldn't be dismissive about people learning to forgive themselves for their flaws ...

Mindfulness and compassion are often talked of as "two wings of a bird" by dharma teachers - mindfulness doesn't automatically translate to compassion. This sutta makes the same point:

Maṇibhadda Sutta (SN 10:4)

On one occasion the Blessed One was staying among the Magadhans at the Jewel-stand Shrine, the haunt of the yakkha-spirit, Maṇibhadda [Auspicious Jewel].

Then Maṇibhadda the yakkha-spirit went to the Blessed One and, on arrival, recited this verse:

“It’s always auspicious for one who is mindful. The mindful one prospers happily—always. The mindful one grows better each day and is totally freed from animosity.”

The Buddha:

“It’s always auspicious for one who is mindful. The mindful one prospers happily always. The mindful one grows better each day

but isn’t totally freed from animosity. Whoever’s heart, all day, all night, delights in harmlessness with goodwill for all beings

has no animosity with anyone at all.

Very simple, instant search, and having the same UI for searching and creating notes is genius - way fewer duplicated notes, for one thing.

Even if you don't plan to make your own tracks, this is just an amazing way to experience music - as this big beautiful machine that you can play with.

With your email argument what you're really saying is that DNS is hosted but portable. Which is true, but it's also inconvenient.

How?

A hosted service that you log into can manage on-chain identity for you, but still make it possible for you to transfer identity management to another service, maintaining portability without needing the user to do key management.

Key management is hard. Hosted but portable might be the way to go. Blockchain is one way to do hosted but portable.

I dunno, Substack is doing pretty well.

Yeah I don't really get this either. The author suggests asking a lot of detailed questions about which arm participants thought they were in. What happens if participants (as you would expect) make very accurate guesses?

Turns out it's a composite of "normalized task-specific metrics", details in the paper. Shrug. Numbers go up!

Does anyone know what the units are on the "performance improvement over SOTA" chart?

So uh ... 100 petabytes, then.

Ah.

Saw him speak at Berkeley around the time his book on the Eshin project was released. Talked in very strong terms about the importance of working in a holistic, caring way.

A SWE in the audience spoke up, saying basically "look, we want to follow that approach, but it's hard, we have a lot of stakeholders to satisfy in order for a project to happen."

Alexander was unyielding. "Once you've worked with love, you won't want to work in any other way."

YMMW on the practicality of his advice, but it was super inspiring.

Excuse me while I get on a hobbyhorse - would love to use web search that lets me boost PageRank for certain sites (which then would carry over to sites they link to.) Could automatically boost PageRank for sites I subscribe to, for example. Expensive in terms of computation or storage? Charge me!

This treatment looks amazing? Anyone have caveats?

Congrats, yours is the first comment I saw to discuss the point of the article.

this is great
