  1. From my slip-box, written after a conversation with Claude: my thinking shapes the AI's response, and its response alters my thinking. A cognitive feedback loop.

    The upside is a perspective other than my own. The catch is that it is roughly the human average, and research suggests work made by human and AI together is less diverse than work made by humans alone.

  6. Anne-Laure Le Cunff offers five tips for avoiding cognitive debt with AI. Keep thinking, let it challenge you, write the first draft yourself, watch for over-reliance, keep reflecting.

    All reasonable. I am not convinced they are enough on their own, because none of them stop you offloading the very tasks you need to do in order to learn.

    My addition is metacognition, and a Zettelkasten to practise it in: ctnet.co.uk/cognitive-debt-ai-

  7. Do you ever feel there’s too many ready-made answers that don’t fit your needs? Me too. That’s why I’m exploring an alternative: ’living questions’. Not quite Rilke, but also not not Rilke.

  8. A line from my latest post that I keep coming back to: AI's neural network is fixed once trained - ours isn't. We evolved to adapt and learn throughout life, it's still one of the few edges we have left.

  9. A tip from my latest post: metacognition (thinking about your own thinking) is a meta-skill worth building deliberately.

    Three ways in: self-testing, self-explanation, and concept mapping. None of them are complicated, they just need doing consistently.

  10. The final post in my "Why Technology Is Outpacing Society" series is live.

    After four posts on why the gap between tech and us keeps widening, I didn't want to end on doom. So this one's about what's actually within our control: protecting our own cognitive abilities.

  11. Acquired Lochby Field Folio A6 (Lochby)

    Keep your A6 notebooks, pens, and essentials organized on the go with the Field Folio A6. Durable, vegan waxed canvas, slim design, and flexible pockets—perfect for travel, journaling, or everyday carry.

    I recently asked the kind folks at Lochby “if the Folio A6 will comfortably fit 25-50 standard 4 x 6″ index cards which are slightly larger than an A6 notebook? If not, is it something you might consider for some of us ‘Hipster PDA’ tribe members in the future?”  

    Erring on the side of caution their customer service replied, “Unfortunately, since the Field Folio A6 zips up, there’s no way to fit this many index cards in it without the potential for damaging them when zipping it up. But I’ll take note of your suggestion and pass it on to our product development team so we can consider it as well as gauge interest.”

    Because I often use A6 sized notebooks, I couldn’t resist adding to my Lochby collection, so I went ahead and ordered it anyway.

    It arrived in the post yesterday. Today I’m happy to report that it actually will accommodate 4 x 6″ index cards reasonably well.  I can comfortably fit about 30 cards into the right side pocket and still have room to tuck a Hobonichi A6 notebook into the folio and still zip it shut handily. 

    Because I usually have a few pre-glued decks of index card “notebooks” sitting around, I tried one of these and can happily report that the back cover/board fits into the right pocket easily (just as you’d tuck the back cover of a notebook into it) and works well with the Lochby A6 folio! (The center elastic bands are slightly smaller and fairly tight, and could work with these glued decks too, but will tend to cut the glue at the ends, so one should take care here or carefully only glue the center 5 inches of the deck for this use case.) I suspect that if one had a plastic wallet-photo type holder, it might work well in this, particularly if you’re carrying around some of your daily use cards in addition to blank cards for future use. 

  12. So i discovered the #zettelkasten #mcp by github.com/entanglr/zettelkast - and it works quite well. A few more enhancements to the prompt, coupled with web search (#tavily) and it is really nice.

    Visualized and consumed the Zettels in Obsidian.

    Most annoying: the timestamps as file names.

  13. Freemium модель для Obsidian Vault

    Сделал видеоинструкцию для своего Obsidian Vault общедоступной. Она в общем-то была небольшой. Всего на 12 часов. Если что, то там видео на 12 часов

  14. Как учить языки программирования и создавать базу знаний с помощью метода из прошлого века: опыт четырех инженеров

    Недавно в комментариях к тексту про построение личной базы знаний на Хабре читатель отметил, что в таких статьях не хватает примеров работы с техническими данными. Давайте это исправим. Мы спросили у инженеров YADRO и технарей из сообщества «Цеттелькастен и Персональные базы знаний» , как и для чего они ведут свои заметки. Герои статьи используют Obsidian и Emacs, а также личные Telegram-каналы, чтобы изучать новые языки программирования, проходить технические собеседования и вести рабочие записи. Для тех, кто пока не знаком с методом социолога Никласа Лумана, в начале статьи рассказали об истории Цеттелькастена и показали, как выглядело хранилище данных полвека назад. Короб с ящиками и карточками стал прототипом современных систем для ведения заметок, которыми пользуются инженеры.

  15. I’d mentioned that my Steelcase card index came without the traditional card stops/follower blocks at the back of the drawers. Needing a solution for this, I’ve discovered that my local Daiso sells small, simple bookends for $1.75 for a pair and they’re the perfect size (7 x 8.9 x 9.2 cm) for the drawers. These seem to do the trick nicely, though they do tend to slide within the metal drawers without any friction. Giving them small rubber feet or museum putty from the hardware store for a few cents more fixes this quickly.

  19. Рассказ о моей системе личной продуктивности (и о софте, который я создал, чтобы её практиковать)

    Когда речь идет о личной продуктивности, то как правило имеется в виду управление действиями - задачами и проектами, временем. Однако, в наше время ни одна более или менее серьезная задача не может быть выполнена без работы с информацией и эффективность работы с ней существенно влияет на общий результат. Еще один, часто недооцениваемый, аспект личной продуктивности - эффективность управления знаниями . То есть, информацией, которая не нужна нам сегодня и сейчас для выполнения текущих задач, но с высокой вероятностью будет полезна в будущем. Таким образом, личная продуктивность складывается из двух компонентов - эффективности управления действиями и эффективности управления информацией, а также интерфейса между ними. Рассказываю о своем воркфлоу, который объединяет оба эти компонента и о продукте, который для него использую.

  20. Index Card Cases, Wallets, Covers, Pouches, etc.

    I've had an oddly large number of emails over the past few months asking me for advice about what sorts of index card cases and carrying options I use on a daily basis.  Rather than tip out my zettelkasten in fits and spurts on the topic, I thought I'd pour out all those ideas out here instead.  If you're all-in on the ever-growing neo-index card lifestyle, then you should really work at adding some actual style to your fichier boîte practice. If your note taking has you going through […]
