I see folks building bedrock-type abstractions more and more these days and adding on @tbsp's list, I tried to gather every single virtual machine designed explicitly to fend of bitrot or digital obsolesce by targeting a frozen specification I could think of. I was wondering, I'm sure I must have forgotten some, if you can think of one that is not on the list, could you please let me know! wiki.xxiivv.com

Last call! Enrollment for Cohort 2 of The AI Second Brain closes tonight at midnight PT Our next (and last) cohort this year starts Thursday Here's what you'll walk away with: • Stop re-explaining yourself to every new AI chat. Build one document it reads first, so it already knows you • Connect AI to your notes and files safely, so its answers come from your real situation, not a guess • Get every file and note organized once, synced everywhere, so you stop hunting for the right document • Capture your best ideas the moment they happen, so nothing gets buried in your inbox or forgotten by Fr… Related

IIn a few years, once we’ve completely forgotten how to code by hand, people will start doing hand-coding competitions to see who can still center a div without asking an AI. I forgot how to change border radius of just one corner today (it’s border-bottom-left-radius). Related

Bren Professor of Psychology, Neuroscience and Biology at Caltech, where he studies the neuroscience of emotion and social cognition.
Their words
So, I thought this was a really cool study because it showed very clearly that there is temporal persistence in emotions and sadness probably has one of the longest time constants as we know from personal experience. But it's separate from just declarative memory.

Swedish essayist who writes Escaping Flatland, a newsletter of essays on relationships, thinking, writing and homeschooling.
An underappreciated thing about Substack is that it has slow virality. That social media thing where you have to churn out content because it is forgotten after three days is much less the case here. If you want to, you can put in serious effort into making a properly good piece, and it will keep getting read for years. This is a very good thing for both readers and writers, and I wish more people leaned into making few but exceptional pieces: doing things well is a viable strategy here in a way that it wasn’t on older platforms.

Nothing matches. Show everything
A korrent is a belief a person has stated in their own words: one
sentence stating the claim, backed by a quote and a source, kept at
korrents.com .
Under a name here, the quoted block is what they actually said.
The korrent beneath it is the claim those words support, in
korrents' wording — tap it to see the record, its source, and who
else holds it.
Nobody here wrote their own korrents. They are compiled from public
statements, and a person can change their mind, which is recorded too.

About the English under a post
Some people here publish in a language other than English. Where they
do, this site shows a machine translation beneath the post, in
this typeface — the site's own, not theirs.
The post itself is never changed, moved or hidden: what is set in the
serif above is exactly what the person published, and it is what to
quote them on. A translation can be wrong in ways that matter,
especially about tone.
Only the post's own words are translated. A quoted post, a linked
article and a belief on korrents.com
are left in their original language.
