Lol I'm reading through old Ted Nelson papers and realizing that I've accidentally reinvented Nelson's ELF format (Nelson, 1965), except with a Markdown-like syntax.One of the many attempts of Nature to evolve a Xanadu. https://t.co/WcTCQNHhvt— Gordon Brander (@gordonbrander) April 25, 2021
Is it intrinsically harder to write in a creative format? Through an allegory, a dialogue, a collage?What you lose in precision of interpretation you gain in communicability, adaptation, and joy.— Maxachusetts (@maxkriegers) April 25, 2021
Wtf, why has no one ever heard of this person? This is the whole of his wiki entry. The French wiki one is a bit longer but mostly adds info on his work on Nicholas of Cusa (1401-1464), which seems... somewhat irrelevant pic.twitter.com/bQGPrIEdlS— David Chapman (@Meaningness) April 26, 2021

This is an untouched box of the legendary Hagoromo Fulltouch chalk, made in Japan circa 2014. The company closed down in 2015, and while a version of the chalk is now made in Korea, purists mourn the loss of the unsurpassable original - the finest blackboard chalk ever made. 1/ pic.twitter.com/hBCtNvzq0Q— Incunabula (@incunabula) April 27, 2021

Just been on a Black Orchid comic shopping spree on eBay. That late 80s early 90s aesthetic is amazing. I had these at the time, just for the cover art really. I remember buying these, worshipping William Latham, being allowed to spend my entire 2 years at art college working in the computer room, listening to Tori Amos and Nine Inch Nails, and falling in love for the first time.

The concept of ‘positive thinking’ is ubiquitous throughout society – from social media to home décor. What then, of adopting an approach grounded in negativity?

platonic form of learning abstracted from Unieach topic has a genius who knows the ins and outs the domain and adds their own particular flair and motivation. that provides the frame. the flushing out is done by peer teachers who were just in your shoes recently— Hazard (@natural_hazard) April 28, 2021
thread on "The Semantics of Clocks" paper by Brian Cantwell Smithsmith uses the toy problem of providing semantics for a clock ("what does it mean for a clock to be correct?") to explore his thoughts on representation, computation, and "participation" https://t.co/YaVu3JkeJM— Hazard (@natural_hazard) April 26, 2021

Common practices include retrieval practice, writing summaries, doing practice exercises, trying to notice patterns. Mechanistically, I think this is about creating more durable and well-connected memory traces.— Andy Matuschak (@andy_matuschak) April 29, 2021

~ If you value being better at something than someone else, you're driven to put them down - their improvement is your loss. If OTOH you value being good at something, you should aim to build them up, so that they in turn can help build you up.@DRMacIverhttps://t.co/nx6L1PozBi— Malcolm Ocean is in Victoria, BC (@Malcolm_Ocean) May 2, 2021
