What does a video agent looks like? Beyond the obvious visual reasoning, what does it unlock and how hard is it? Somewhat related, I'm coming to realize that Hard is the ideal principle to begin a project. For whatever reason, either for clout or curiosity, hard makes great. Easy is not memorable, easy is not respectable, easy doesn't give enough to chip away.

Feature: add button to format and copy content for LLM input

It’s time to write! The ratio between read:write is unbalanced. Philosophy for building would be a good series to write about

The color palette on ryokans are perfect for a note taking app

I still have plans to build a Morovian bench some day But for now, got myself the bible of spoon carving and some tools

added image uploads! it's hooked to an llm to extract text but quickly will evolve into more tasks. I'm loving this personal feed

I think I'm turning this into a product. It's a workspace to work on your ideas in Twitter form factor. It's the first private feed where they content is generated by you with AI utilities. Unlike social media, AI is personal, I don't care about your threads with AI, I care about refining my thinking process and search or recommendations. AI is an invitation to look inwards, not outwards.

I find myself using my blog posts and photos to ask chatgpt for recommendations and related things. An idea is to build something like context engineering as a product. A place where you can paste things, like a collage, and then search and ask from it. A moodboard of sorts: images, notes, quotes, code, posts Let's you query visually or textually, let's you post to twitter, it's a personal creating space. Want to buy a couch? Want to buy a book? Want to know where to go in your next trip to Japan? It's not singularly threaded! Search, remix, discover.

Would be cool to do an idea tracer. Put a phrase or idea, get where it comes from

To the question of what made the west great im starting to find an answer. I think it traces back to the philosophy passed down by the Greeks, in particular Aristotle and Plato. Aristotle's ethics and politics layout the blueprint for the republic which Thomas Aquinas reconciled with christian philosophy and eventually inspired natural law philosophy of Locke and the founding fathers.

Freedom starts with reading. Work through ideas while reading. “Books are prompts for synthetic data generation”

Can you RAG the world on satellite data?

Idea generation is so poor with AI. There’s no easy way to prompt a model in a way that you get a novel insight or an interesting angle. Interestingness is not in distribution.

Sensemaker!

Writing an ontology for a knowledge graph to capture my kindle notes. Types: book, highlight, entity, concept Predicates: inBook, mentionsEntity, refersToConcept The Crux is getting the concepts standardized and in triples. So far I can answer questions like: - what are top entities across my reading, surprisingly Larry Ellison came on top - top entities for a given book Next it’ll be nearest path between nodes, which opens ability to say “what links book a to book b, or concept a to b etc” Building the graph is the first step, discovery after

found an old link to Blake Master's digital library, im considering these: - Myth and Meaning: Cracking the Code of Culture Paperback – March 14, 1995 - The French Revolution: A History - The Ghost of the Executed Engineer: Technology and the Fall of the Soviet Union - Sartor Resartus - The Age of Belief Anne Fremantle - Captain Sir Richard Francis Burton: A Biography Edward Rice - Reflections on the Revolution in France Edmund Burke - Pensées and Other Writings Blaise Pascal - Titian: His Life - Sheila Hale

"Like many rites of passage, you’ll probably find it looks a little smaller, a little less daunting when it’s behind you than when it loomed ahead."

books im working through 1 intro to info retrieval: ideas on how to index information, common failures, and search 2 crafting interpreters: how do you build a scanner, parser, and runtime? 3 practical electronics for inventors: electronics is about reading information from the world and controlling a device with a microcontroller 4 programming massively parallel processors: ideas on how to do things like bfs in parallel using gpus 5 Nicomachean ethics: what's virtue, what's a good life mostly educational but you never know where your next idea will come from

The most frivolous product you can build is AI tools for onlyfans creators

With AI you can make the internet a time series
