• [[work]]
  • finished early due to "no late meetings" day
  • lots to do this week and next, but I have a plan :)
• [[remnote]]
  • met [[moritz wallawitsch]]
    • [[welcome to the cosmos]]
      • [[high quality information society]] https://www.welcometothecosmos.com/post/High%20Quality%20Information%20Society
      • [[michael nielsen]] [[reinventing discovery]]
      • if there was a [[knowledge commons]] protocol, they would be supported
• [[flancia]]
  • facets of the [[revolution]]
    • [[open ethics]]
    • [[basic income]]
    • [[copyright rationalization]]
    • [[counter anti disintermediation]]
    • [[commons]]
      • [[knowledge commons]]
  • [[push]] [[matrix spaces]]
    • [[flancia space]]

So I was thinking about the brief conversation we'd had about [[effective altruism]], and I started writing, and I wrote a lot, so my preamble is that I mean here to put words to a seed of a heuristic I'm working with, not just criticize. But I don't really have a clean phrase for the topic... so I'm tossing this in my daily note, and maybe it'll make sense to move later?

update: moved to [[criticism page]]

I don't know really how, but the absolute indignation in this captures something of the [[incrementalist's]] lament. Like, dang, y'all, the rest of the pie is right there.

Ordered this book of notebooks. It's shallow, but I do find the aesthetic of these things motivating.

• [[Research]]
  • Yesterday, I selected a few papers with my [[partner]] to read today. We narrowed our focus to the changes suffered/enacted by [[social movement]]s and [[political movement]]s during the [[transition]] from [[Fordism]] to [[Post-Fordism]] throughout the [[world]], given how we are missing many specifics and empirical details about it in our [[undergraduate research]].
    • [[Read]]
      • We've started [[read]]ing [[Everybody's Life is Like a Spiral: Narrating Post-Fordism in the Lifestyle Movement of the 1970s]] by [[Sam Binkley]]: https://doi.org/10.1177/1532708603259643
        • I'm really liking it so far.
• [[Digital garden]]
  • [[Maggie Appleton]]
    • I've finally visited [[Maggie Appleton]]'s [[digital garden]] again after a long time. The "[[Neologism]]" [[budding note]] caught my attention. Some of the [[neologism]]s she has collected there are really funny.
  • It's gonna be hard to implement my future [[public]] [[digital garden]] (which will be kept separate from this one, which is specifically meant to interact with [[Agora]]s).
    • From [[transclusion]], [[Folgezettel]] and [[block ID]]s to [[semantic link]]s and [[discourse graph]]s, there's gonna be a lot to implement.
• [[Music]]
  • [[Song]]s I've heard for the [[first time]] and liked today:
    • via [[Spotify]]'s [[Discover Weekly]]:
      • [[Ace Hashimoto]]—[[YOU DON'T HAVE TO CHANGE!!!]]
      • [[Yerin Baek]], [[The BLANK Shop]]—[[We are all MUSE]]
        • [[Yerin Baek]] has already established herself as one of my favorite [[k-pop soloi]]sts. This song shouldn't even have surprised me (but it did).
      • [[フレネシ]]—[[レイテンシーガール]]
        • Kinda reminds me of both [[EarthBound]]'s soundtrack and [[Ōnuki Taeko]]'s songs.
      • [[DeVita]], [[Ugly Duck]]—[[Sugar - Puff Daehee Mix]]
      • [[15&]]—[[Can't hide it]]
        • The voice of one of the singers sounded familiar to me...
          • ...and then I discovered this was [[Yerin Baek]]'s old [[duo]] with [[Jamie]].
    • [[Hoody]]—[[Perfect Timing]]
      • I really should sit down and listen to the whole [[Departure]] [[album]] someday.
      • [[Hoody]] has such a beautiful [[vocal color]].
    • [[uju]]—[[Did you think I'd be happy]]
      • I hadn't really liked [[Mindset]], and thanks to that I feared that I wouldn't like [[uju]]'s next releases, but I guess I'll actually like them. This one was great.
    • [[Cities Aviv]]—[[CINEMA CLUB]]
    • Recommended to me by someone:
      • [[WILLOW]]—[[Overthinking IT]]

latency status quo is terrible - how can we do better?

lessons from phd

https://austinhenley.com/blog/lessonsfrommyphd.html#managers

• lead or be led - actively advocate for yourself or you won't get what you want out of your experiences. you have far more information to determine how to prioritize than they do about you.
• topic sentences. write the first for each paragraph, them flesh all of the bodies out.
• managers are IO machines. your best use of them isn't to prove that you are productive; rather, it's to show up with something to answer questions and receive feedback
  • assume they forgot the last meeting
  • bring things to talk about and a goal
  • 3-4 sentences refreshing everyone
  • what did you do? what worked? what did not? what do you do next?
  • have something tangible - a demo or visual aid
• daily progress tracking - a feq quick bullet points to summarize what you did that day, every day. trace progress towards goals!
