I reluctantly agree. It’s like ebikes — yes it’s great that I don’t have to pedal up hill, but on the other hand the cyclists that did it the hard way deserved the praise and glory for their achievement while weak and distracted ebikers definitely do not.
holding my nose reading this. if scientific progress killed god, it seems unlikely that meaning would emerge from more ramblings of the same kind that gave rise to him in the first place. we have learned to disbelieve in miracles and to be skeptical of novelty, that change is excruciatingly slow and its cause is failure, pain and death. nature and the feelings that nature has given us should be our philosophical guide posts.
You joke, but a colleague tried to get me using nvim a few months ago, and after installing all the stuff he recommended, my first impression was that I was running emacs. It was busy, there were extra buffers all over the place, things kept popping up as I typed, and I wasn’t clear on how to get to normal mode. In sure this has as much to do with his config, which I copied without understanding it, as it does with nvim itself, but it felt very unfamiliar.
This is great, and I need it and will use it, but what I need even more is some kind of integration with org mode (or just note taking generally). I found out the hard way that github/copilot deletes conversations after 30 days! So much for building a knowledge base with an AI assistant! I really need something a bit like Goog's `notebookllm` for capturing research, except I'd like to control it locally.
