Anyway, your problem isn‘t finding the time to take notes. The problem is that taking notes is thinking and thinking has to be done by someone. women have been doing a lot of metacognition that looks like a task when it’s really thinking.

It is known that doing things slowly may not be a sell for everyone, but when you move at a speed that reflects what it looks like to be careful with people, you'll see how much relief you create. And joy. lesscomputer.ca/direct-the-c...

I think this is still quite relevant www.dreamsongs.com/Files/Patter...

Habitability and Piecemeal Growth
The sun paints the scattered clouds red, paints the hills across the Bay
a deeper red. Moment by moment the sun’s light flares windows in
the hills, moving upward as twilight approaches. The programmer
looks up from his screen to watch. He sees headlights moving one way
and taillights the other along either side of the highway spine. Home-
lights click on, and the Bay is a silhouette. His daughter: Will she be
too petrified to dance? Will she miss the cue? If only he could help her
pass by her fear. Reaching to the right of the mouse, he lifts his Coke
and drains it, saves his buﬀ ers, drifts his eyes to the sensual move-
ment of the highway, pausing his mind as it passes over a detail in the
code he’s just typed. The thought passes before crystallizing, so he puts
the CDs in his blue Kelty pack—and heads for the recital.
Code is written by people. And people have a lot on their minds, they have lives to
lead, and those lives intrude on their thinking. You might pay a developer for a
full eight-hour day, but how much of that day is truly yours? Of course, not all of
us are software development managers, but the concerns of these managers
should rightfully be concerns of ours—concerns of language designers. The
astute software manager knows that just about every programmer except the
pathological workaholic trades his hours of overtime for hours of undertime. The
manager goes all out to ensure that the needs of the developer are met—home
terminals, sunny oﬃces, minimal meetings, meals during the big push, and a
healthy ego boost from time to time.
If the software manager knows that people and their habits are the determin-
ing factor in software development, why don’t language and system designers?
Here is what Stroustrup says about the design of C++:
C++ is a general purpose programming language designed to make
programming more enjoyable for the serious programmer. (Strous-
trup 1987)

I think it's also the case that we will not be starved of understanding because of AI, but because we've been increasingly devaluing understanding in favor of results and outputs that AI fits right into the current state of scientific production.

Come chat with me about feminine computer creativity :) Did you make experimental hobbyist games? Did you mod the sims? Did you make Neopets fan sites? Are you Australian and over 18yo?

A participant recruitment flyer for a research project on feminine computer creativity. An image of a Sims house and a Neopets character are included on the poster.

The callout reads:
"I am looking to talk with people who used computers for hobbyist non- commercial feminine creativity relevant to games. All interpretations
of femininity are welcome. This project aims to learn more about feminine tech-competency and feminine game cultures that have
been overlooked in games histories."

This synergy, as we’re experiencing in math and coding, is pretty powerful. But confusing the two is a trap, behind which we surrender our own capacity to reason and interpret (often with the aid of tools) convincing looking artifacts.

diff eq has some traction on dyadic relationships (c.f. Gottman et al. 2005), but for Ted's proposal, relational databases (and maybe recommender systems) are a better formalism otoh I have enough explorables about linear algebra but want more about stability analysis, so your proposal sounds great

with all the deskilling and gell-manning (etc) we're gonna get from automated thinking machines, now is the time for the 'tools for thought' crowd to make tools that help you think things through for yourself. tools to do *more* hard thinking. it should feel effortful. cherish that feeling.

From my perspective as a Google Scholar-native researcher, there *is* a glut of opportunities across literatures. But AI-assisted lit review intensifies the difficulty of bridging well. The outputs sound clever, and tempt us to conflate related ideas with distinct histories, but they're superficial.

If we want to preserve (or build!) a culture of meaningful learning, we are going to have to find a way to preserve the relationship of reader and writer that is based on one person having something to say and the other person wanting to hear it. It's been hard to keep my eye on that relationship/2
