Footnotes are one of the itchiest things to implement when the 'preview' is the editor itself.

I am 54 years old man, with 30 years looking into a fucking monitor. Let's not forget the early years of "computerism" with those big fucking radiation monitors flickering and messing with our eyes...
Young kids don't know how this was affecting our eyes forever.

Looking into a mobile screen for me is a pain. btw if you see one of my comments with a lot of misspelling ... is because I had to use a mobile (mostly when I get to shit).

I listened to the audiobook version of JBP's Maps of Meaning earlier this year. Yesterday, finished watching the 13-part series of him doing lectures on this at Harvard in 1996. As I was finishing up the series, the first episode of the new Maps of Meaning lectures dropped ... guess I'll be going through this material for the third time 🤓

"I shall not today attempt further to define the kinds of material I understand to be pleb slop, but I know it when I see it. "

reply

if u don't know what is plebslop, u are probably doing it!

reply

My posts are pleb delectables!

reply

i certainly wud call ur posts "delectable" or "delicious" in the same way that a Satan (hebrew shatan - adversary) wud call his sayings delicious; ur posting is an abhomnation (literally, away-from-man);

delicere "to allure, entice"
ab homine "away from man" (thus "beastly")

@NEEDcreations are u taking notes?

reply

what is happening?! So much to learn

reply
reply

nice, I got homework! Thanks

reply

i don't have the statistics on the plebslop of ur making, only the Great Creator can judge that; just based on ur biography, it's mostly plebslop and SN revenue analytics for self-gain (aka slowly robbing the bank);

Ok, now I understand clearly how channels and transactions work. Next step, learn how inbound and outbound liquidity works. I feel really dumb when the topic is ln.

As silly as it may sound, this video made me understand how liquidity works much better than any other explanation or analogy. I read a lot about it, and in just a few seconds of video everything I had read became clear in my mind. Now my next challenge is to learn how to manage that liquidity.

Info about the book: #1074789

reply

Just finished reading Geoffrey West's "Scale", which people have commented on here before. It was very interesting in regards to cities and urbanization, but the last chapter was a bit anti-climactic because I kept expecting him to discuss AI more prominently. He brings up Kurzweil and The Singularity, but he seemed pessimistic about it at the time. The book was published in 2017, so I guess that's to be expected. I wonder what he would add now that AI is taking off.

Do you have a policy about posting old material?

I don't see anything ruling this out in the territory description, although it does feel as though it would go against the spirit.

No such polic-ies. Post whatever compells you.
